The Aemon we know was shaped by his years at the night watch and as a maester seperated from the politics of the 7 kingdoms. He has no training in battle or rulership. He wouldn’t even lived as long due to the stress of ruling. I’m not saying he’d be a bad king but he alone could not have stopped the fall of the Targaryen dynasty.

[@charlieparsons2406]

@@dingo1547 What do you mean "He wouldn't even lived as long due to the stress" no ruler in the history of the Iron Throne died due to stress, maybe you have played too much ck2, also he may have had a decent chance at being a good ruler due to his training as a maester. He could have stopped Robert's Rebellion if he hadn't taken the Black as he would have been King, and his brother Aegon V wouldn't have been king which means Jaehaerys II wouldn't have been king which means Aerys II (The Mad King, the King who caused Robert's Rebellion) wouldn't have been king, so yes, he could have kept the Targaryens in power the same goes for if Duncan hadn't married Jenny of Oldstones.

[@vishnuprasad3041]

@@charlieparsons2406 I think what dingo means is that if aemon hadn't been a maester and took the iron throne, he wouldn't have had the oppurtunity to grow old cuz there would be so many factors to consider. As a maester of the nights watch, he never layed with a woman, never had kids, never drank because he's a maester. If he was king, he would have drank and layed to his heart's extent as all highborn people do. He wouldn't have lived past the age of 60 or 70. And with the rebellions in mind, his life could have been shorter.

[@EL-ISS]

George would never write or greenlight that. The Dawn Age, the Last Long Night, and other obscure mythological events need to remain muddied. It's what adds the mystery to the story. If it was all explained there wouldn't be a wonder factor that the reader / watcher could then fill in on their own. GRRM himself has said it about eastern Essos, Sothoryos, etc. It's to make the world feel larger and to add wonder. However, it would be interesting to see how they'd handle something like the Dawn Age. They'd really need to have a strong story and very good writing as it has events that are the foundation of ASOIAF.

[@cherieimh]

When people moan about Martin not coming out with the latest book I am certain they have only followed the TV version which I really love but I started reading these books in the early days and have been incredibly impressed that one man could possibly have just thought all of this up on his own. It is phenomenal and you can see why even a brief run on TV would not be able to explain all of the plots and sub plots and history. This is why they have focused on a few characters who aren't even that signifiant to the overall plot and who are fan favourites (even as we love to hate them). George RR Martin has a mind that is almost impossible to comprehend. When he says he writes without a script I believe him but also admire that anyone could accomplish what he has. When I first learned that they were coming out with the show on HBO I couldn't imagine where they would even begin. I think in all we have had the pleasure of watching the show and when people get tired there are things like this. The links are great as well. This presentation is excellent and I will be recommending it to friends who are wondering why the next book is taking so long. When we think that Martin is basically bringing this incredible story to a conclusion of sorts (who knows) we have to admire him even more. This would be like saying good bye to characters that have lasted in his mind for decades. For all I care HBO can run this for ten more years and I won't lose interest. I am eager to see what type of spin off they come up with. None are going to ever get this far into it but well done!

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

Read some of the original drafts for the books, they're so different it's difficult to comprehend they are the same story. You definitely won't think he writes with a script afterwards. In his original draft, Tyrion fell in love with Arya, Jaime killed anyone who opposed him and became king after Joffrey died, Catelyn Stark was killed by an Other, loads of massive differences like that.

What an effort bro. Good job. Hats off.

[@tifoobtsuj]

I don't understand the down votes on this. It's amazing work!

[@Zapp33311]

To think the tv show covers just a fraction of the overall timeline. The potential for countless shows that could be made from the ASIOF universe is mind boggling.

[@Zapp33311]

PGeraSUX Yeah I know that.😏 I meant that there is so many possible stories over thousands of years that they can’t possibly cover especially when the current show is just within 8 years.

[@shockedcurve453]

The Targaryens rode the last dragons on Earth, created empires, fielded massive armies, but only one thing could possibly stop them: natural causes

[@Dominknows]

This is probably the best breakdown I’ve ever seen

[@ethanquirk28]

No one ever brings up the fact that the last hero used lady forlorn, a dragonsteel blade to fight the white walkers thousands of years before Valyria is even founded... Dragons had to have existed in Westeros during the time of the long night.

[@CivilizationEx]

Where did you read that the Last Hero used Lady Forlorn?

[@montyparata4914]

Hey man this is spot on. I love your videos so thanks for all the work you put into this!

[@Brandonhayhew]

Game of thrones still holds up to it's high expectations of its complex storyline.

[@SUPERRRSAIYANNNNN]

Incredible video, thanks for the upload.

[@lanasrj]

amazing work!

[@blacktomove1594]

Yooooooooo: This is so---- crazy! Thanks CivilizationEx for this post! It definitely is no easy thing to have created this video 🙏 You covered so--- much! My hope is that HBO goes with it and the entire story line...-Much like Disney is running away with the Star Wars thing. HBO could just bounce around different timelines and cover the whole thing. They have content and new series from the Ice & Fire stuff that could last them a century or more. Btw: I'm saying this in 2022, during the "House of the Dragon" (HBO) release

[@Akumabrah]

this makes me want to actually read the books... Edit: Why didn't the show cover all of this... They could've made more episodes and we would've loved it..

[@joannap8769]

That was awesome 👏 thank you so much for doing this.

Best ASOIAF Timeline Video ever !!!!!!!!! Thanks

[@Galadrian70]

WOW. Great job. I am glad the tv show diluted the history and carcter arcs. It takes for ever to explained to my wife who is who from where. Just imagine, if it was that complicated, lol.

This is not done yet. This is all of the info from the books so far. There are 2 more books still not released yet

[@leepreston9637]

...and they may never be released. The last book to be published came out the same year as season one of the show.

[@anishkasharan9952]

Not necessarily 2, it could be more. Jus because there are 8 seasons doesn't mean that there will be the same number of books but all I wish for is he finishes the story before he dies.

[@MikkaBoii]

I wonder something... how does everyone know about what happened in Roberts rebellion? i mean the first book, A game of thrones, starts with Ned beheading that deserter from the nights watch. Roberts rebbelion and Arthur dayne's story etc. happened before all this. So if its not in the show, nor the books, how does everyone know about it?

[@CivilizationEx]

+Mikka They talk about it throughout the series then more is revealed in the history book World of Ice and Fire.

[@thearmada6248]

Have you even read the books

[@anishkasharan9952]

The first book doesn't have the beheading of the deserter. In the book all 3 of the nights watch member possibly die when they meet with walkers.

[@xCollapZzx]

Anyone else coming here for a recap before Winds? I imagine we'll be back here for a recap when we're all senile as well.

[@slavic_bog_warlock]

Does anyone else wonder how the giants and children of the forest got to Westeros or is that just me

[@CivilizationEx]

Probably the same way the First Men did, through the arm of Dorne.

[@riverforest2997]

Perhaps they evolved there.
