The Commentator Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We don’t know what made Balerion go to Valyria. Perhaps it was his time to mate. The wounds came from either a rival dragon or the mating ritual between dragons can get rough. More concerned with mating, he left the little girl unprotected.

We were introduced to Meereen's sewage once, and we should expect it to come into play once more. And the drains are Tyrion's wheelhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read once, right after Fire & Blood was published, that Balerion had some sort of homing instinct that called him to Valyria. We know Valyria and surrounding sea are devastated to the point the sea literally smokes. Maybe underwater volcanoes or something. While your possibilities for the reasons for Balerion and Aerea's wounds are sound I'm thinking just going there would be enough to get burns all over your skin. It's those nasty worms with faces that stumps me. Ick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the greater point I was making is still true as the Valyrians (and, by default, the Targaryens) are right in the thick of it. They are the reason for the Rhoynish curse of the grey plagues. And there is not just one Illuminati in this world. There are three Illuminati: the Citadel, the Iron Bank and the Faceless Men.

Although Westeros is backwards in many things, they don't seem to be backwards in terms of medical science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourning Star Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The girl who died was probably Rhaella, Aerea's younger sister, as they appear to have switched places. Aerea meanwhile becomes a septa in Oldtown. Aerea was heir to the iron throne until the birth of Daenerys. "Remember who you are, Daenerys," the stars whispered in a woman's voice. "The dragons know. Do you?" I would suggest that "Aerea" (Rhaella)'s died because she pretended to be someone she was not. "I never..." is the last quote we have of the poor girl. "So how do you like the taste of your victories now, Lord Snow?" "Don't call me that!" Jon said sharply, but the force had gone out of his anger. Suddenly he felt ashamed and guilty. "I never … I didn't think …" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also fair to point out that the name Rhaella is more connected with Dany, being her mom. So she basically gets this advice from her mom's namesake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she basically gets this advice from her mom's namesake And unlike other lady hiding in Oldtown, Aerea is spelled the same forwards and back! He spoke of dreams and never named the dreamer, of a glass candle that could not be lit and eggs that would not hatch. He said the sphinx was the riddle, not the riddler, whatever that meant. He asked Sam to read for him from a book by Septon Barth, whose writings had been burned during the reign of Baelor the Blessed. Septon Barth, who cared for the dying Aerea and then wrote his Unnatural History. The Sphinxes in King's Landing: The walls were hung with tapestries from Norvos and Qohor and Lys, and a pair of Valyrian sphinxes flanked the door, eyes of polished garnet smoldering in black marble faces. She stared in awe at the carved wooden screen and the twin sphinxes that sat beside the door. Tyrion rested his hand on the head of the sphinx beside the door. "One parting request. Kindly make certain no harm comes to Sansa Stark. It would not do to lose both the daughters." Meanwhile in Oldtown: It had been Lazy Leo who dubbed Alleras "the Sphinx." A sphinx is a bit of this, a bit of that: a human face, the body of a lion, the wings of a hawk. Alleras was the same: his father was a Dornishman, his mother a black-skinned Summer Islander. His own skin was dark as teak. And like the green marble sphinxes that flanked the Citadel's main gate, Alleras had eyes of onyx. The gates of the Citadel were flanked by a pair of towering green sphinxes with the bodies of lions, the wings of eagles, and the tails of serpents. One had a man's face, one a woman's The sphinxes in King's Landing are Black with red eyes, while those in King's Landing are Green with Black Eyes... The Blacks and the Greens were the two sides of the Dance of Dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Star Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Rhaella (Aerea)'s last appearance is in 58 AC when she traveled to King's Landing. Although her mother was said to have visited her once a year until her death in 73 AC. I think it may be worth noting that the Lord of the Hightower at the time was Donnel the Delayer. Lord Donnel is a schemer and a sulker. I do not trust him. Nor should you. He does what he thinks best for himself, his house, and Oldtown, and cares not a fig for anyone or anything else. Not even for his king. -Manfryd Redwyne A year later Donnel died of the Shivers, likely brought back from Sorythos by his Grandson Eustace. What happened to Aerea is unclear, but the Hightowers got their hair color from somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of it. I read it like it was her sister and the dragon was cannibal. Didn’t they fly in from the south? Like the Hightower? And if Balerion the Black Dread went home...Dreadfort? Visenya dosnt look like a Targaryen name. It’s creepy to think if they never stop growing how large Balerion would be. At his size he’d require buoyancy.... or hibernated on ice to stop his hunger? Didnt Seara send Maegella to the brothels and Seara stayed at the Hightower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
