The Hightower, The Citadel, The Starry Sept, Oldtown,
All saw Stannis for what he was - a heretic, an infidel, a R'hllor fiend, an eventual filicide, and
Traitor to the Andals
Stannis might have been King of Dragonstone - but he was Never 'King of the Andals’
Aegon I conquered The Reach with dragons
Renly of House Baratheon, First of His Name, Defender of the Faith, and King of the Andals, conquered them with charisma
and in The Reach, charm is gold
One word of truth from her, and the realm would’ve been spared, but Rhaenys chose to lie, pimping out her granddaughters for queenships to a liar, and condemning her righteous brother-in-law Vaemond to assassination for speaking truth to power. Rook’s Rest was justice served, and she knew it.
@Eriiiyyyy@KingTargaryenn Folks mistake the Dance of the Dragons for a Game of Thrones. It’s not about who sits in a chair. It’s about who wins the dance.
It’s clear. Oldtown, the Maesters, the Faith, and the Hightower won The Dance — as King Jaehaerys & Good Queen Alysanne would have had it.
@DarthAylan@westerosies Maester Gyldayn? Who records Princess Rhaenyra as having never been other than a princess?
I’m impressed you’re such a fan of his.
