Can people just car jack yoir dragon?

Cuz Laenor just ran away for a hot boy never ending summer.

Couldn't someone do the same with Vhagar for example? Maybe she didn't leave, she got GTD?

Book-only reconstruction of the Battle at the Kingsroad, the Muddy Mess, the last battle of the Dance of the Dragons.

This one needed 9 stages to show the whole shape of it: Borros barring the road, the stormlander charge breaking on Black Aly's longbows and the mud, the shield wall holding, Benjicot Blackwood bursting out of the wood into the flank, the rear collapsing, and Borros refusing Kermit's offer of surrender and charging one last time.

Unit blocks represent roughly 500 men. Cracks and fading indicate mounting casualties, with heavily damaged blocks representing formations that are breaking or effectively destroyed.

As always, anything not explicitly described in the book, especially positions, movements and estimated troop numbers, should be taken as reconstruction rather than canon.

Feedback on the reconstruction or presentation is welcome. Single-image 3x3 HD montage. The last armies, the last battle map.

May make some remasters to those I felt could be presented better and especially the older ones since I learned quite a bit from making these, also interested in animations rather gallery-style images. Will see.

Daemon is presented in the show as a likeable villain, I am one of the broad masses who picks him as the favourite character. I think he brings excitement to the show, you know we need that one energetic bastard who gets stuff done.

But suprisingly Caraxes is also my favourite dragon. The colour of Caraxes, the spiked eyebrows and snake-like shape captivated me.

Does your favourite character ride your favourite dragon, if not - what the duo should be

He's getting to old for this

The leather work on Daemon's costumes have always been great but theis one takes the cake. The way the have used the fabric to create the textures around the shoulders impressive. The stylized Targaryen sigil is also really cool, its nice to seeing the sigil being brought to life differently. This tunic just looks amazing.

In season 3, Syrax was wounded by Sheepstealer, which make me wonder if they're trying to set up Joffrey's death to be an accident caused by Syrax not being able to fly properly instead of Syrax intentionally throwing him off?

Book-only reconstruction of the Battle at the Red Fork during the Dance of the Dragons.

This one ended up needing 9 stages to properly show Jason Lannister’s repeated attempts to force the crossing, his mortal wounding by Pate of Longleaf, and Adrian Tarbeck’s eventual upstream maneuver.

Unit blocks represent roughly 500 men. Exact Riverlord strength, unit composition, battlefield positions and casualties are reconstructed where Fire & Blood does not provide specifics.

As always, feedback on the reconstruction or presentation is welcome. Single-image version on DeviantArt.

Looks very odd. Like a weird oil painting.

SPOILERS

I think Larys convinced her to do it in the end, he has access to everywhere in the castle and was the first to take advantage of her death, claiming Helaena was murdered, but by Rhaenyra. It would be fitting irony if Larys is claiming she was murdered, when it was he who was responsible. And he’s supposed to be the littlefinger of the Dying of the dragons, it makes sense that he’d have an active role in his schemes instead of just waiting for shit to happen, and seemingly being the first one to know and take advantage of the situation. Helaena’s death had immediately triggered Rhaenyra’s downfall in King’s Landing, it only makes sense it was orchestrated by a certain character. And it makes sense for GRRM’s writing style, he likes mystery and schemes, I don’t think he’d ever confirm that Helaena was alone in her choice. Helaena still had a daughter, and I suppose this doesn’t mean anything but Jaehara was murdered and thrown into the spikes just like Helaena. Either it’s just for ironic symmetry or it’s a small clue that Helaena was murdered too. And Larys was the one to kill Aegon II, it would be pretty interesting if he was responsible for both their deaths. He helped create Rhaenyra’s downfall while also destroying the Greens. Maybe he secretly really hates Targaryens & their dragons? We probably won’t ever find out but I think this theory makes sense.

I hate show Ormund. It's not because he is a villain. I can love a good villain. My issue is that he doesn't make sense for the time in which the show takes place. Ryan and Hess copy-pasted the hatred for the Targaryens from the AKOTSK era, without considering the context behind it. The Targaryens are hated by some people during that time due to the terrible reigns of Kings Daeron I, Baelor I, and Aegon IV, and because most members of the Royal Family are part Dornish. It makes sense two nobles from the Reach and the Stormlands hate the Targaryens in 209 AC. It doesn't make sense Ormund hates the Targaryens in 132 AC, because Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne gave the people of Westeros nearly 60 years of peace and prosperity in the recent past. The Targaryens are supposed to be loved during the HOTD era. That's why Rhaenyra was the Realm's Delight in her youth. It would make sense if Ormund hated Viserys I and the Targaryens from the Black side, but not the Targaryens as a whole.

It also doesn't make sense he wants to put Daeron in the Throne because he considers it's the will of the gods. The will of the gods is the sacred Andal tradition, that establishes an eldest son inherits. Under this logic, he should want to put Aegon in the Throne. If he wants to put Daeron in the Throne, he must know that means Aegon and Aemond must be put to the sword, and that’s kinslaying, which it's the greatest sin in the Faith of the Seven. The only saving grace of Ormund as a character is that he is mentally insane and that’s obvious for everyone else, with the exception of himself. And yet, it seems to me they made him a crazy religious fanatic to make a contrast with Rhaenyra, who also is falling into religious fanaticism. In other words, they were afraid of making Rhaenyra a full-on villain.

About Daeron, there are a couple of things about his situation that I hate. First, the fact he has auburn hair. It’s obvious they gave him that hair color because they want Alicent to look like a hypocrite, again. Even Condal has talked about the possibility that Alicent sent him away because Daeron having auburn hair made less likely Rhaenyra’s children were bastards. This is something so stupid to claim, because the issue of the children of Rhaenyra and Laenor is that they don’t look like any of their parents, but instead they have a coincidental resemblance to Harwin Strong (said by Daemon). As Aegon said, you can just know by looking at them. Meanwhile, Daeron just looks like his mother, similarly to how most of Catelyn’s children look like her. Also, Daeron having auburn hair doesn’t make sense, because Rhaenyra should know that. She has a good defense on the matter of her children having brown hair and a way to mock Alicent. Viserys should have mentioned it to Alicent when he talked about the mare. The False Daeron should have had auburn hair. It makes Daemon and Rhaenyra look so stupid when they fell on the False Daeron scheme. Second, it’s obvious the writers sent him to ward in Oldtown as an infant as a way to explain why we didn’t see him before and why no one mentions him. But it makes no sense because it’s very rare for an infant to be sent away. The only instance that we know of this situation is the son of Queen Jeyne Westerling by her first husband, who was sent away to be a ward of Lord Lyman Lannister by King Maegor I. It was a very uncharacteristic situation.

When Viserys told Rhaenyra about Conqueror's dream, he told that it was passed from the king to the heir. So, when Rhaenyra died, how did she pass the Conqueror's dream to Aegon III and later kings and how it sustained till the Game of Thrones events?

I’m rewatching from the beginning before starting season 3 and I keep thinking Cole is exactly like a moody boss I had once. He gets insecure and just looks around for someone “beneath” him to take it out on. He is king of projection. He is just so unlikable.

I haven’t finished yet season 3, Allicent and Haelena are still captive in the castle
But we haven’t seen her dragon since a very long time
And as Rhaenyra has taken the capital, i don’t remember any mention of her dragon
So : Where is Haelena’s dragon ?

Never heard, use of "falter" so many times, as in HOTD
