The Pirate King "Lord of the Waters" is almost certainly Aurane Waters who stole King Tommen's fleet and disappeared after Cersei got arrested.

JJ Volty That's what I thought as well

I know these videos are old, but they're new to me and I absolutely love them! So I just want to thank you for making them

I still watch them I’ve watched the whole series like several times each video.

[@andreklinge4052]

I'm surprised that no real king has yet conquered the islands again, still being a place full with pirates and slavers. You could do so much more with a working system and a relativly big army.

[@killlamas57]

Missandei and Grey Worm will claim it.

[@aegonbreakspear9102]

[@oliversteele1060]

Very descriptive and looks like you put a lot of effort in making this, well done :)

[@davidmelgar1197]

I'm surprised no Targaryen king made a point of trying to truly conquer the Stepstones and make them part of the Seven Kingdoms (maybe make them an eighth?) Having real control and power there would make shitloads of money in trade; only issues I can see are pissing off the Free Cities (at the height of Targaryen power, not really a threat) or pissing off Dorne if they'd want to claim them as theirs.

[@liamjm9278]

There are already 9 Kingdoms in Westeros; it would be the 10th.

[@shiftygamer501]

You should make videos on Daemon the Rouge, The War of the Five Kings, and Daeron the Young Dragon

[@AlfredoPuente8]

If Westeros is the size of South America, those islands are around Sicily size.

Daemon Targaryen is my favorite Targaryen he's a complete savage

[@grimkaizer8417]

George's favorite as well

[@Anonymous-uq8gq]

Jahaerys Targaryen the first is my favourite Targaryen personally. Yet Daemon Targaryen did take down Vhagar. He also took Harrenhal. Yeah he was pretty cool.

I have no favorite Targaryien. They all suck.

[@PlantFaceMan]

It's just the fantasy equivalent of the flooding of Doggerland, caused by the melting of the ice caps after the last ice age, which turned Britain into an island around 8500 years ago. Most features of Westeros are versions of British history and geography "turned up to eleven".

[@muhdaslam9556]

Is anyone here after watching house of dragons 😌😌🔥

[@dudewtfdoesittake]

So does that mean the Arm of Dorne will return with winter?

[@castrator8057]

Charley Panda no, because the water won't go back up to the shivering sea to form more ice.

[@dudewtfdoesittake]

Hmmmmmmmm, I was thinking that might be a last second plot device. Like winter storms fuck up the ships, and everything is hopeless. Then the cold weather makes the sea levels drop, like here on Earth during the last ice age. Then they could just walk across the Arm of Dorne.

[@killlamas57]

Does winter even reach those lands?

[@dudewtfdoesittake]

Shady Tyrell More ice means less water, so the sea level should be lower.

[@castrator8057]

Charley Panda actually if the ice forms on the sea instead of land the sea level will rise because water expands when freezing. And that means ice takes more space than water.

[@hjorth3387]

Good job!

[@mehmetcanturk970]

nice video

[@c.w.simpsonproductions1230]

It is legit confusing why no one ever built a castle or created a lordship on the Stepstones given how critical it was for trade. Anyone who set up there could have made a great sum focused on trade, similar to House Frey.

[@CivilizationEx]

Many tried, but nearby powers would not allow it, as it usually meant extra taxes on sea trade in the region. So anytime someone tried to claim the Stepstones, it only lasted a short time because war came and destroyed whatever realm was there.

[@erikthomsen4768]

Personally I think it is a double edged sword. On one hand nobody wants to pay taxes. But pirates might be more expensive to deal with. Bloodstone and Tyrosh are the only islands that can generate wealth on their own. And somebody has to fund the bill to keep piracy down. Eventually I suspect that Dorne and whoever inherit the Disputed Peninsula will split the island group between them. Allowing both sides to protect their their trade routes.
