Do you think the maesters killed the dragons first time around? And what do you think they will do this time?
The faceless men were paid with Lannister gold to give the gift to the sorcerors who maintained the 13 flames.
Yet another great video Robert. I believe the maesters and the iron bank had a big role to play in the death of Dragons, as Targaryens etc are bad for business. in fact I believe they were both behind the doom of old valaria, hiring the faceless men (who were slaves at the time) to deliberately dig deep into the volcanic mines to eliminate the valerians.
Cool topical series, Ser Robert!
Robert, you are killing it! So good a thumbs up just doesn't feel like enough. YouTube needs a heart for videos we love.
I’m also perplexed by what they thought there was to gain by replacing magic with science and reason—I’ve seen no signs of science nor reason throughout the show/books. Society, industry, advances in politics, the arts—all have stagnated in the thousands of year’s of Westerosi history. There’s been no progress, only rampant warfare and oppression. Is that what they’re going for, and if so, to what end?
I think the maesters DO NOT want dragons or magic because they would lose credibility and more importantly control. Thanks for the great video!
It’s a shame Luwin died before seeing the magic that is Bran!
Great Video as always!!
North cave. Leaf (maid), ash (mother), black knife (warrior), coal (smith), scales (father), snowylocks (crone), bloodravin (stranger).
I'm not saying the measters aren't involved. But if the "children" seem to be aspects of the seven, what are they up to? The Andols were told buy seven gods that gave their leader a sword and pale bride with blue eyes, that they should go be kings over in the west.
They are starting to give me a really bad "if we just had a little more power we could crack this open and take some stuff" vibe. Something isn't adding up. I think the grey sheep are trying to kill magic, but I'm starting to wonder about motives and free will.
Is there any possibility that the maesters instigated the dance of the dragons?
thank you!
Yes the killed the dragons and they wil again
Excellent! Really enjoyed this one. I'm starting to take more of an interest in the dragons now. With the "Great War" looming, dragons will play a key role in the outcome of this battle. I'm still hoping that there will be a dragon we haven't seen yet and, that dragon will be ridden by the King of the North himself. I doubt very seriously if this will come to pass however, I continue to read about a "secret" in the crypts of Winterfell. Maybe it could be Bloodraven's long lost dragon egg that he won at Lord Butterwell's tournament. I'm reaching, I know but, it's fun to speculate about all the possibilities!
hello sweet mysterious guy..Supporting you theory about the Maesters VS Dragons…remember what the Maester did said about the Drowned God VS Aegon the Conqueror..that the Drowned God will stop Aegon the Conqueror …I think that Drowned God represents Euron..and the Aegon the Conqueror represents Danny/Jon[Aegon]..May he be the 3rd great villain of the series in S8 [remember also the Dumphairs book prophesy about Euron on the Throne.The Forsaken Chapter] and will be a big problem for Jon/Danny in S8 ..He also in the books has the Dragonbinder and its going to destroy the Oldtown for to find the book with the Dragons ..That book describes there how Dragons could tamed and also how could destroyed..He will play a catalyst role in their destruction i think..Maesters are manipulated by him to do this thing..Jon/Danny will realise that there the real enemy is not the NK but Euron who is powerful even and than him..NK is just a cursed human by the COTF to live a suffer life as an undead zombie ..but Euron is the represent of the supernatural human evilness ..He actually is they real villain of GOT..What do you thing?Can he have to play a key role in our theory?
Please please please read some passages to us I said it last video I'll say it again at least we can hear more of you without so much effort to put in from you I'll patron instantly if your allowed to do it 😀
