@herbwta@Queznoo It's really obvious they weren't planning to adapt him until George complained. The fact Rhaenyra never met him means he was sent to Oldtown as a toddler or even younger, which doesn't make sense.
@nikicaga@ALiteralGod2 The fact that she wasn't a princess is all the reason you need. Aerion is never called King or Prince just because his son became King. Aeriana would have been styled as Lady.
@cfcxpert_@bryndensraven I mean, he already "tarnished" a woman's honor, Wylla, a servant of house Dayne. That's the official story, he doesn't go around telling people but Edric Dayne "knows" she's Jon's mother and Ned himself told Robert.
@Uc_heyy02 What do you mean? They were already close to the Royal Family, Jaehaerys and Alysanne were half Velaryon. Part of the Velaryons status at that time is due to their close relationship to the Crown.
@virginrosess@MillerShime It's not actually Oldtown, it doesn't have towers in plural, just one. But you're not far off, she's seeing the fall of Three Towers, House Costayne's castle, located on the shore of the Whispering Sound, south of Oldtown.
@l2s3c Bullshit. Rhaenyra never mentioned any fear of Daeron's army, and why would she? By the time Daemon dies, Daeron's army was still stuck in the reach, fighting Rhaenyra's loyalist, hundreds of miles from King's Landing
