@emmywayne64 I know we can go crazy with the "ifs" but hypothetically:
If Rhaenyra had no children, Aegon would be her heir. In that case, I don't think the Dance happens.
@paloma_datgirl Rhaenyra undermined her own rule by having bastard children.
The whole dance happens because of her bastards, not just because she is a woman.
@dauntlesseskimo Wrong. These two women are the driving forces behind the Dance.
Anybody that thinks women aren't capable of evil, haven't been paying attention.
@Ofcimcold The Rat Cook is based off a lord that murdered a guest under his roof. The lord was cursed by the gods and transformed into a giant rat that is forced to consume its own children.
