James Fenimore Cooper XXII Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 We all know the story of the blood betrayal. The Amethyst Empress was betrayed by the Bloodstone Emperor. The betrayal happened during the twilight of the Great Empire of the Dawn. It was said to have ushered in the darkness. History repeats itself because human nature remains fairly consistent. It does not repeat exactly and the actors are not always the same though. I believe there were two political factions involved rather than two siblings. I said as much in the essay, "Daenerys is Azor Ahai Reborn." History has already repeated again and this recent betrayal event happened during the current timeline. I believe the two families involved are the Targaryens and the Baratheons and the blood betrayal happened during Robert's Rebellion. The Amethyst faction is House Targaryen. The Bloodstones are the Baratheons. The Baratheons betrayed the Targaryens and ushered in chaos. The Bloodstones and their allies destroyed a united land. The Bloodstones and their political friend, the Starks, failed to hold Westeros together. In the case of Robb and Jon, they even actually contributed to the breaking of Westeros. Daenerys will know three betrayals. It is quite possible that the betrayal for blood is this blood betrayal by the Baratheons. She will follow in the footsteps of Aegon the Conqueror and unite the land again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egged Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The first Dayne followed a fallen star, so they are more likely to tie into the Bloodstone Emperor story, especially since he was the Amethyst Empress’ brother and they look like Targaryens.

Bowen 747 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The Baratheons are part of the Targaryen family. A lesser branch of the family, mind you. And they came from a bastard. I like the connection. Both kingdoms went downhill after the betrayals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only 89 selfies today Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This piece of history will cycle for each fam. Karma hit the Baratheons when Renly contested Stannis. Sansa squealed and betrayed daddy. Robb betrayed his allies twice. Jon is a traitor to the Nightswatch. Big Walder will probably betray the next heir to the twins. And on and on it goes. Magic doesn't have to be involved. Praying to a space rock is not going to bring the climate out of balance. The ancients did not understand the science of weather and were looking for the cause of the climate change. The blood betrayal caused social disorder and prevented the Empire from adequately responding to the change in climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdaw Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It's just basic foreshadowing, Euron is the Bloodstone Emperor (the Bloodstone Emperor's evil deeds are a matching list of Euron's) and Dany the Amethyst Princess and Euron will betray Dany for blood. The betrayal specifically will be that when Dany can not bear Euron's child he will turn to the next best source of dragon blood, Arianne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sidious Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The Long Night has already begun. So this betrayal has already taken place. The last Baratheon, Stannis, has fallen under the spell of the red woman. He and Robert usurped the Targaryens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stags brought ruin to Westeros. They killed Rhaegar on the Trident and assassinated King Aerys in his home.

The Daynes are loyal to the Light. It isn’t the Daynes. Robert was the one who nearly destroyed House Targaryen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
