Just for this, you get an extra like. If she had never given that order, she might have been able to claim a complete moral superiority. But avenging the kinslaying (and arguable, if not against the letter but very much the spirit of Guest-slaying) of your son through such a vile deed was abhorent. She should have send those 2 to kill her half-brother who murdered her sun, or Aegon who abided it, or even the murder of Alicent Hightower for all the shit she caused. Not kill a different innocent child while in sight and psycho-torturing Aegon's wife and other young child.
Well the thing is about Blood and Cheese, they were pscyopaths that were really just killing because they felt like it.
As for what happened after, well lets just say I really really hate everyone involved except Mushroom, because that guy was fucking funny.
Also, Aegon the third... holy fuck Aegon the third. That kids needs all the therapy in the world.
Now, here is what I hope we will be doing:
- step 1: get a dragon (somehow) as a smallfolk
Very difficult, but not impossible.
That is going to be very hard.
- step 2: get permission from the Iron Throne to go to Essos to make my own way
Well depending on who the king is, we might just wind up traveling with companions or staying in Westeros until that king dies.
Dragon riders traveling about are not good things for Westeros or the Targaryens.
step 2.5: work as a mercenary for a couple of years, building up funds, loyal men, a reputation for being trusthworthy, etc.
Form the Golden Company 100 years early?
I mean that is awesome.
- step 3: try to form an alliance of, among others, myself, the Iron Throne, Braavos, some of the Free Cities, Ibb, and the surviving cities of Saath.
Going to be rather unlikely until we become a noble or knightly house... but possible.
- Only reason that Saarnori Empire fell was the various city-states infighting and underestimating the Dothraki. Dothraki historically feared Dragons. Thus, with help of a Dragon-rider or 2, rebuilding a State in their former lands should be doable.
Well trying to form a state might not be in the actions of the quest, after all this will be a more adventure-heavy quest.
But I can be convinced otherwise.
- Westerosi strategy (build castles everywhere) was historically a solution in much of Central Europe for raiding by the light horse raiders of Hongary. Dothraki don't do siege equipement. Thus Westerosi Knights in Armor with castles should be a viable strategy to take land from the Dothraki.
Just remember, all that works irl can work here with the possibility of dragons fucking up our days.
- Giving all those Westerosi second-and third son nobility who are itching for a change to fight, prove themself, and gain some land for themself to support themself an option to do so by fighting an external enemy which is morally / religiously an 'acceptable' target may remove some of the pressure for war from among the nobility.
...
Sorry let me laugh a little.
AHAHAHAHAHA!
- The Faith of the Seven will be overjoyed by all those brave Warriors going off to fight the Slavers, as slavery is an Abomination in the eyes of the Faith. Pleasing the Faith is always nice for a royal dynasty, and if the Targaryen Family feels less then enthousiastic about endorshing some smallfolk bastard taking one of their precious Dragons and going of to do an Aegon the Dragon in Essos, well, the political pressure by the Faith might just make them reconsider. After all, Jahearys remembers the wars against Meagor the Cruel. So we might actually get some powerfull ally's and Royal backing in this endevour.
Here is the thing:
The Targs broke the faith, and made them their bitches.
Its' going to take a little more then a dragon rider traveling through Essos to get them to pay atteniton. Not unless they can profit.
- The Dothraki don't have allies, not really. Thus, they are a viable target to take land from to found a third non-slavery state in this area of the world (beside Westeros and Braavos). If you attack any of the Free Cities (Pentos, Myr, Volantis etc) or the Stepstones to take it over and abolish Slavery, the other Cities will likely ally together and come to it's aid to kick you out. But all can support kicking down the Dothraki a peg or 2. As Corlys and Deamon found out, the Stepstones can be taken, but holding them against a coalition of Free Cities is hard. But the Dothraki? those are practically free real estate. After we beat them. If we beat them.
... No comment.
Hmmm if Targs leaning towards younger brother of Viserys and Daemon. Could be a kid of Jaehaerys on the young side. As far the dragon that gets picked.....Dreamfrye would be a interesting pick. Big dragon but never had any action.
The Targs get their own special choices.
Also the Coin flip.
Lots of coinflips.
