Sorry about the audio issue around two minutes in! I have no idea what happened there. That section was scripted as follows and is also available in the captions:
"The reintroduction of Pate is actually the very last sentence of A Feast for Crows, which lends to its seeming importance. Perhaps Sam will end up inadvertently helping this faceless man, or he may gain whatever knowledge this assassin is seeking for himself. Tyrion’s perspective in Dance mentions a particularly dangerous book in the Citadel entitled “The Death of Dragons”. The title of this tome seems to line up with the motivation of the Faceless Men."
Yep Euron should make a bloody mess of the High Tower, burn the Citadel, sacrifice the Septons, take Melora and kill the rest of her family prob. Then up the Mander to High Garden…The Mander is Navigable a fair ways, and it ends very close to Kings Landing… but he has so much to do if he wants to rule the Sea…Upstart Aurane Waters in the Stepstones, ship builder Braavos swaying on its rotten pilings. Any Free Cities Dany isn’t torching… he needs to lock up that sea to force her to make the deal for crossing… The Dragon Horn could nullify her Dragon advantage, and Victarion could be the sacrifice to activate it….also think Cersei might try to ally with him in the end and his treatment of her could be what finally breaks her. She’d probably hand over the Rock and Lannisport to the Iron Born and Qyburn’s Arts too…and it would become an abomination… he could be very busy…
So you're telling me I'm NOT going to get a Dumbledore vs Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic type battle between Euron and Lord Hightower? Pah I say, Pah! Lol. Btw, given Euron's primary goal is to sit the throne, it's possible that the sphinxes from Aeron's vision represent the the two Valyrian sphinxes that flank the council chamber in the Red Keep- an indication of the small council swearing fealty to their new king.
To out myself, I'm one who suspects Euron is a fraud. If a kraken actually appears, I don't think it'll be on account of magic; it'll be on account of all the blood in the water (similar to how blood attracts sharks). But Jon Q. Public of Westeros will THINK it's the magic that brought them, so Euron essentially tricks everyone into believing he's something that he's not.
Nitpicking, but Sam didn't take the Cinnamon Wind from Eastwatch, he took it from Braavos.
1. the redwynes are on eurons side. 2. it seems the hightowers also arent home. 3. the hightowers abandoned the faith and the maesters after the ironborn rebellion 9-13? years ago. 4. the redwynes fleet is purposely arent fighting the ironborn and the golden fleet. 5. euron isnt even leading the fleet he's at meera with his brother for dany.. 6. it seems the ironborn still respect the watch/crows so they wont harm SAM. 7. i think at one point euron even drinks red wine from the redwynes.
Thats a nice Better Call Saul meme
My favorite part was “prior…………………………………… In an Arya chapter”
Of course Euron wouldn’t talk about the horn, if people knew that he wanted to unleash ice demons and zombies on Westeros no one would serve him.
Great video! But didn’t Ghost find the horn and not Sam? sorry for the nitpicking lol, thanks for the great content!
Why not attack the Arbor? Seems like a juicy target, one of wealthiest places in westeros
We haven't heard from or about Sam since 05 but people way smarter than me say that Samwell V in feast is one of the very last chapters of the two combined books. So that would be George's excuse.
Nice CCR reference
Leyton Chadtower will succeed!
In addition to Sam, the sphinx, the maesters, the Ironborn and the faceless men, the remnants of the Brave Companions are also at Oldtown (or at least last we heard of them they were enroute to get there).
Did my tv mute
You need a new mic my dude
It's cute how you think George will release any books
From the ashes, the Chadtower shall rise again, harder and stronger…
"Leyton Chadtower beating Euron in a 1v1 with facts and logic", holy shit, this is amazing and hilarious. I want it.
I miss the voice cracks 😊 Hi Quinn
Each video keeps getting better and better man keep it up!
You have an excellent channel my friend. I'm a huge fan of ice and fire theory vids (Ice and fire methadone I call it, while we wait for winds). Easily the best up and coming channel I've seen. Keep it up and you will be huge man.
Euron and Melassandra? Wowsers! Now there’s an interesting idea. Awesome vid chap, keep ‘em comin n fingers crossed for Winds soon 🙂
Bro you have to calm down with these damn ads!!
Mad Maid is not Leyton wife
I think it’s a feint to draw both fleets into range and out of the protection of their shallow bays. If Euron somehow knows about the maester conspiracy, taking them and/or Oldtown as an entity out would ingratiate him to Daenerys on top of the spoils he might reap. It’s entirely possible that GRRM’s expansion of the dance of dragons and the Hightower’s role in it is groundwork to explain why they’re targeted and whatever their fate becomes at the hands of Euron. There may also be something interesting locked away in the oily black stone the Hightower sits upon, only accessible by means of dragon fire/magic, something Leyton might be seeking himself!
Love the CCR reference. One correction though: the Mad Maid is Leyton Hightower's daughter, not his wife.
Military campaigns are rarely completely straight line affairs. You often go around the enemy to take them from the side or rear. Navies need a base from which to supply themselves and launch attacks from. Taking up a base on an island not too far past Oldtown would be a reasonable course of action if planning to stage an attack.
Leyton isn't locked away with his wife. It's his daughter
He will attack old Town not kings landing
The Mad Maid is Lord Hightower's daughter, right?
9:02 You're killing me with that #BetterCallSall meme! 🤣 Somebody needs to do a sketch with that exact quote!
Isn't Sam in Jons first chapter in ADWD?
This is the only thing I care about in the rest of the series at this point
