Bowen 747 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The ruling classes in Essos and Westeros have no reasons to want progress. They have everything in the system going their way. Progress would only erode their status and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted nowhere in Westeros's history (well except the Dance and the Wot5K) was as bad as what cam before the conquest. The three hundred year dynasty brought about the ending of Houses Hoare and Durandon. The Ironborn were an unstoppable force who would have expanded their territory if it had not been for the Targaryens. The dance was the only really dark period during their reign. House Targaryen was a blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, magic gives them the ability to tip the scales more decisively against progress than it did in our world, hence why Westeros has barely changed in thousands of years.

Rose of Red Lake Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Maybe the Citadel poisoning the dragons was an attempt to bring Westeros into something like the 16th century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
