They’re the perfect example of “too big to fail”. And they did just enough to scrape by and not get invaded by the Targaryens and others. I think in King Robert’s time they were still fallen from grace and people didn’t trust them, but tolerated them as they were so rich.

To me and to many others, I think it’s clear that Daenerys is meant to be a red herring (especially considering Euron’s plan to marry her and the whole dragonbinder thing). Cersei is actually a really common one, obviously because of the show but also many think Aegon will end up taking KL which would either result in her death/capture or, more popularly, fleeing to Casterly Rock (I believe Germ mentioned we’ll actually visit it at some point) which would leave her in direct interaction with Euron.

[@nickdentoom1173]

Interesting thing about all of this is that Sam is conveniëntly placed at Hightower at the right time for us to get a POV for the events outside of Ironborn eyes, which kinda implies the Damphair might not make it out alive. I feel like Euron isn't targeting Oldtown for the Hightowers, but rather to bring down the Maesters and Faith of the Seven.

[@thalmoragent9344]

Funny thing is, the Hightowers may have been Dragonlords WAY back in the day. (Fuzed Black Stone at the base of the Hightower, and some random story claiming that it was a Hightower that killed the last Dragon in Westeros all the way back in rhe Dawn Age, but what if it was a Hightower putting his Dragon companion out of his misery? Who knows) Like, they may have been associated with the Great Empire of the Dawn. Meaning that, whether they had dragons or not, they have been around longer than any of the other Lord Paramount houses, and even Valyria itself. They have features similar to that of the Valyrians, the Silver-Blonde hair in particular The Hightowers don't often go to war, and are respected for handling business and Oldtown in general rather well. The Dance of the Dragons was like, the one time they made a heavy effort to go on the offensive for something not directly affecting Oldtown.

[@Jarethenator]

On the Salt Throne thing. I actually like that name, but I also am electing to take the show canon as a separate entity. Within that, maybe both thrones do exist. For whatever reason, perhaps the iron islanders chose to switch to the Salt Throne after some sort of disagreement over the old one. Who knows? Maybe the old one mysteriously vanished one day. Surely it was too big and heavy to just up and steal...but then, where did it go? I don't know. I just made all this up...but, hey, that's how most great stories start.

'In deep geek' said once that Hightowers are only ones that could be considered to have won in the dance of the dragons. Most of the seven kingdoms either stayed were they were (Starks, Arryns, Dorne, Iron Islands), took some heavy hits and significant losses which they had to recover for years (Lannisters, Baratheons, Velaryons) or got the shit absolutely and truly rocked (Targeryans, Crownlands and Riverlands).

@@Att964 Well the main branch did follow alicent and otto’s lead during the war. Otto has power as the hand, but he doesn’t have access to house Hightowers resources. Only his brother and his heirs do. And they obviously followed Ottos lead. They weren’t smarter, it’s just that they didn’t die. When I say that alicent and Otto would have a heart attack seeing what house Hightower became. I meant that house Hightower became significantly less religious and even dirtied the high septon at one point. And that it was a women who made their house richer and powerful After the dance, lord Lyonel Hightower married his stepmother, lady Sam. The high septon found their marriage to be illegitimate, but lyonel hightower didn’t care. Lady Sam was a prominent Black and ally to king aegon 3. Lady Sam protected Lotho Rogare after the fall of House Rogare and together they founded the Bank of Old town. That’s how house Hightower became richer and more powerful, because of a black supporting Aegon 3.

I'm doubtful that the Hightower's supported Renly. As the only statement made about the Hightower's supporting Renly was made by Renly himself, who was inflating his numbers and his following to try and get Stark and Tully support, because outside of the Tyrells (and maybe Courtnay Penrose and Randyll Tarly) nobody was all that enthusiastic about Renly. As shown by the fact that all of the Stormlords and few Reacher Lords (including members of the Rainbow-guard) defected to Stannis before his body was even cold. The Tyrell's only supported Renly so heavily because Loras Tyrell was Mace Tyrell favourite son, Renly agreed to marry Margery Tyrell and (probably) agreed to name Mace Tyrell Hand of the King.

[@godemperorofmankind3.091]

given that Stannis was the older brother, its lack of enthusiasm for him that is the reason that they didnt just declare for him to begin with. they liked renly more and only Loras and brienne truly suspected stannis of being behind it.

It was a city built completely out of the oily blackstone that the seastone chair is made out of and is said to be cursed and is heavily implied to be related to some eldritch horror. Every group of people that has ever attempted to settle in the city has vanished without a trace. Really wish we would get to see someone go to Sothoryos in the series. There's too much crazy shit there to not explore it.

Love how the thumbnail has a Tyrell

[@fantasyhaven1]

Margaery is descended from the Hightowers

[@TheRealRealMClovin]

@@fantasyhaven1 yes but wouldn’t that be like having Sansa or any of the starks children on the thumbnail when talking about House Tully? As their mother Catelyn Stark is a Tully.

[@fantasyhaven1]

But there are other examples of Tully descendants in the show (Edmure, Blackfish), while the only Hightower descendants we ever see are Ser Gerold (at the Tower of Joy) and Mace's offspring. So I had to choose between an awkward screenshot of Ser Gerold, or an official HD promo pic of Margaery/Loras. Margaery is more popular, so I went with her.

[@TheRealRealMClovin]

@@fantasyhaven1 okay when you put it like that it makes sense xd We don’t really at all see any hightower beside the few in house of dragon.

[@fantasyhaven1]

Would've been cool to see Lord Leyton is GoT! But the Hightowers clearly didn't fit into the story D&D wanted to tell

[@JLchevz]

I didn't think this was going to be this funny lmfao good one

[@fantasyhaven1]

Cheers

[@randominternetguyoffical]

This was wonderful

[@fantasyhaven1]

Thanks! Just checked out your channel, watching your Littlefinger vids rn

[@randominternetguyoffical]

@Fantasy Haven Dope! Hope you enjoy the crazy talk 😂 Hmu if you ever wanna shoot the shit on some asoiaf stuff

[@fantasyhaven1]

Hell yeah! You got a twitter?

[@randominternetguyoffical]

@@fantasyhaven1 I am lowkey kinda afraid of twitter XD but I am on discord, you on there?

[@CoachellaAngel]

Loved this video keep making more 😂 just subbed

[@fantasyhaven1]

Thanks!

[@walkermoon77]

I never want this magical world to end!! 💜💜💜

[@LKaramazov]

How did they let Damon get away with tripping hightowers horse? There must have been some rule that made such conduct dishonorable. That was pure cowardice. Even if you have a dragon, you must be subject to some kind of ridicule.

[@GRIMALKINGAMES]

This is such a high quality video 🔥

[@fantasyhaven1]

Thanks!

[@TraciPeteyforlife]

Seeing into the future is a lie for the most part in GRRM's world. I think something else will happen to wipe out the Iron Born. As it makes sense given how many attacking armies have gotten the knife from a surprises army.

[@fantasyhaven1]

Good point

[@Serryy]

Prophecies are not lies. But magic is a sword without hilt and all that, so most of the times prophecies come true in ways that the characters dont think of. For example, dragons in prophecies are often just Targaryens.

[@losercrapt]

Just wanted to say the fortress at the base of the High Tower is fused black stone not oily black stone, and there is a difference.

[@fantasyhaven1]

Nice catch!

[@thalmoragent9344]

They may have been Dragonlords

[@EmmanueltheGod]

Ayoo the Ottoble piece had me dead💀💀

[@fantasyhaven1]

😂

[@BobbyB1928]

One of them was killed at the Tower of Joy. After the rebellion, they probably retreated into isolationalism since they held prominent positions during the Targerean era.

[@heartwork86]

Holy shit dude this channel is hilarious I love it

[@fantasyhaven1]

Thanks!

[@abdallaha92]

0:33 YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO GERALD HIGHTOWER LIKE THAT

[@daganlove8536]

High pitched "salt throne" killed me lol

[@jokotri2186]

One of the last surviving Hightower helped Tom Brady winning his 4th ring by tackling Marshawn Lynch at the one yard-line.

[@mylessmith8059]

😆

[@stablerpunch]

Sir Donte Hightower.

[@gooby214]

"last surviving"? Your joke aside, House Hightower is still alive and with many members and heirs. Why you normies can't do research is beyond me.

[@stablerpunch]

@@gooby214 He’s making a joke about a football player. Get off your high horse, dork.

[@Lraimondo12]

Peremore's dnd joke got you a sub here hahahah

[@fantasyhaven1]

Cheers!

[@hammadali4638]

So, I was just watching the video and I HAD to check the channel name due to the animations and noticed you only had 3.52k subs. So, I subbed too. Keep up the good work!

[@fantasyhaven1]

Thanks! Onwards to 1 million 💪

[@alex1311t]

This video made me subscribe lmao. Good ass video dude, you got perfect comedic timing 😂

"They were descended from the first men, or perhaps even the men who came before them...the...pre first men? Zero men? idk". 0:53 That gave me a good laugh

[@Bubreherro]

“Although she’s half his age, the widower Jorah declared her to be his ‘Queen of Love and Beauty’…” Hmmm I sense a pattern of loving young, perhaps too young, females (I say females because I was tempted to say girls 😬)…

[@fantasyhaven1]

... Yeah, Jorah has an unfortunate type

[@AnnabelTheGoldsmith]

Subscribed at show Eurons high pitch 'Salt throne'

[@ORBrett]

Amazing recap of Hightowers

[@matthewfrias6781]

You won me over with the Hightower puns 😂

[@reid_dreamcatcher6017]

Good stuff , you really are appeasing my adhd mind thinking about a lot of unanswered questions that people like me care about very much. You got one about house Reed during GOT?

[@NolanHawkeyeAnthony]

The hightowers are portrayed waaay different than the pirate, rugged type creatures we see in got. In house of dragon they are calculated smart and much more open to land dwelling

[@morningstar7401]

Literally obsessed with all things game of thrones

[@blashstash3346]

everytime someone uses the name “hot d” to refer to that show makes me so happy 😂

[@fantasyhaven1]

This channel provides the Hottest of Ds

[@risacarolina4153]

the oily black stone i thought was dragonstone, since it's described the same way in valyria, asshai, dragonstone, and others. when the dragon fire melts stone and it is reformed into this oily black stone. just an important detail i thought missed

[@mardel1607]

Great editing

[@fantasyhaven1]

Thanks!
