A Song of Ice and Fire: The Deeper Dorne Part 4

[@xamphor]

Who is going to end up on the Iron Throne? Who gives a shit?! Quaithe, Marwyn, and Sarella control the world. Anything hard to explain happen? Glass candle. Someone know something esoteric? Glass candle. Character thinks/makes a decision? Glass candle. Someone sleep and or dream? Glass candle. This doesn't make ASOIAF dumb as hell at all.

[@tokevarvaspolvi8999]

Now now. Ghost and Mormont's raven aren't glass candles. ;)

[@Sunflx27]

I'm a huge fan of Preston and I buy a lot of his theories but this issues with the telepatic abilities annoy me a lot. Glass candles, Bloodraven, Mormont's raven, the Children of the Forest, etc. There is always some great force acting behind the curtain and controlling everyone like the characters had no will of their own, qualities and flaws. Of course scheming is one of the major aspects of ASOIAF, but that does not mean that you have to suspect about literally anything. For example, he believes that Jon only befriended Sam because Ghost messed with Jon's mind. What's the evidence? Jon said that he hate cowards and Sam is a coward, so obviously it would be IMPOSSIBLE for him to like Sam. No, of course it's Ghost controlling Jon, there is no other possible answer. All this kind of theory does is take away all the depth in the story being told

[@lomiification]

You mean a horse. If loras is a horse, why isn't he eating grass?

[@Hrvo182]

'He rode straight into the dragon's mouth' could just mean he attacked Dragonstone head on.

[@davidbodor1762]

Don't think so. Why would they say Dragon's mouth? Because it's Dragonstone? It is not Targaryen's they are fighting, there's no Dragons there literal or methaphorical, and why say Rode? If you assault a castle you would say he RAN right into the breach or some other similar thing.

[@2838103]

By incapacitating all the king's guards Doran is not forcing Cersei to pick Robert Strong, he is forcing her to pick Meryn Trant, at least until the death of Aerys reaches King's Landing, since Robert Strong is not yet in the king's guard, why bother incapacitating Boros Blount when Trant would be a better choice alltogether? The better choice after Loras flees, Osmund is captured, Arys killed and Balon sent away. Ofcourse Cersei would want Jaime to protect her, but he is likely the weaker of the king's guards and Blount is fat, old, and fears for his life.

[@timocruz510]

I love the analysis as always. But I really think your underestimating the growth of Jaime's new Beard in the start of AFFC. Would it be impossible to say that they're are tiny insect/human type creatures burrowed deep in his new grown facial hair? And would it be crazy to think that those same creatures might be controlling his mind? Along with refusing Cerseis request, it would explain his bizarre decision to bet on Raff the Sweetling in the river jousting contest, as well as his illogical decision to not stick the spear up Shitmouth's arse in Harrenhall. Would it be to ridiculous that the creatures might be in league with Quaithe? I believe Varamir sixskins might be inside the consciousness of the lead tiny creature pulling the strings of Jaime's mind that lead to his ridiculous actions. Could Quaith and Varamir be in working together? Again, I'm probably wrong about half of this so I guess we'll have to wait for TWOW.

[@DoReMi123acb]

True. but remember that George's stories tend to have grand scale plots with many mysteries woven in. I mean from the first book, we all thought the Lannisters killed Jon Arryn and when it was revealed that Little Finger and Lysa were behind it, it was a shock.

[@ByteMe619]

What do the Maesters/Oldtown/House Hightower get out of their relationship with Dorne/the Martells?

[@gazrw2631995]

If the Tyrells lose power then the Hightowers may have the opportunity to become the central power in the Reach. This may benefit Oldtown economically and provide greater funding and influence for the citadel. In return they keep the lords of the Dornish marches under control to ensure peace at the boarder. Also in the books it is stressed that Dorne is becoming dryer and more arid and that a healthy relationship between the Reach and Dorne may be vital for the people of Dornes survival.

[@AlMeSeLo]

It is probably just Marwyn and Qybern who are helping Dorne, Qybern was stripped of his chains, and no one like Marwyn in the Citadel

[@lazlow9640]

+gareth williams As Preston has said, House Hightower may see the tyrell expansion in the florent lands as encroachment, Leyton Hightower could be working with doran, he is a necromancer after all, he could have a glass candle himself, Hightower rule in the Reach could result in some kind of alliance with Dorne, after all, most Houses north of Old town have lost most of their armed forces and the Tyrells and their forces are in the crownlands.

[@joemullany7621]

I think, and I think Preston believes this as well, that Marwyn is a renegade who has been working with the Martells for many years, unbeknownst to the other Maesters.

[@marsstrider3705]

The Maesters/Oldtown/House Hightower should be fundamentally opposed to Dorne/House Martell if Qyburn and Marwyn are on team Martell. The Maesters apparently are trying to eradicate magic while Marwyn is the premier world expert on it and is using a magic glass candle. Qyburn tried to become a Maester and got kicked out, so he is never going to be aligned with Team Hightower. Marwyn and Qyburn are going to align with anti-Citadel forces. If House Martell is aligning with House Hightower, Marwyn and Qyburn are going find someone else to side with. This all assumes Marwyn and Qyburn are in fact working for Doran.

Concerning Loras' removal and a possible Tyrell conspiracy I was a bit surprised that you forgot that Willas Tyrell, the heir to Highgarden, is a friend of Oberyn Martell despite being crippled by him. So it is not unreasonble to postulate that house Tyrell might in some part be in on the Dornish Masterplan, and purposefully removed Loras from Cersei's use. That would also help Margeary as Loras could just show up fit as a fiddle to fight for her in the trial.
