FIRE & BLOOD Section 1: Aegon's Conquest

00:50 Beginning of narration
In an effort to help bring this material in the A Song of Ice and Fire Universe, I will read to you the 1st Chapter of George RR Martin's book, Fire & Blood, which takes place 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones and chronicles the history of House Targaryen.
The video has been slightly sped up to make it more pleasing for listeners and absorb the story faster.

I'm gonna have to watch a bootleg version, but from what I've seen and heard so far it's so different. Then again that's life I guess, everyone has a different perspective of the story. Mushroom and the Maesters all be exaggerating and taking liberties. 😂

[@dakotalange2858]

Awesome work enjoyed listening to your work! Have a peculiar what if idea What if Ned left ICE at winterfell, how would that change things

[@bingobingo7755]

I would imagine it would go to Robb and he would use it through the war, giving more credence to his cause and going well with his king look, and maybe aligning more norther troops, but considerings the Red Wedding, it most likely would either end up going right back to Tywin Lannister or would go into possession of the Boltons or Freys, giving them a Valerian Sword for there house. It'd be interesting to image Tywin getting the sword and having the blades made for Joffery and Jaime then sending a valerian steel filet knife to house bolton as thank you for their work in the red wedding. It does however seem an expensive gift from the likes of Lord Tywin, and I couldn't imagine him giving an ounce of that to house Frey.

[@dakotalange2858]

@bingobingo7755 I don’t think so Tywin has no way to get the sword at the red wedding, there were no Lannister men only Frey and Bolton and Roose taking it would be what would probably happen, I’m mainly interested in what would happen as Brienne of Tarth doesn’t have Oathkeeper to help her in fights, talk to blackfish etc and Joffrey doesn’t have widows wail, also having Jon wield ice against the nights king would be cooler (😂) I like longclaw but ice would be more poetic imo

[@curtisharolson6643]

What if Ned married Ashara Dayne before Roberts rebellion

[@Tayl0r_]

I think he almost did? Or it was proposed as a political marriage. I might be thinking of soneone else. Im finally re-reading the GOT books so I could be way off.

[@dakotalange2858]

What if Cersei had been to married Ned before the rebellion happened (I can’t remember their exact ages)

[@bingobingo7755]

So the thing thats important is a timeline. this marriage would have to have been either John Aryan or Tywins idea after the death of Brendan and Rickon Stark. Tywin would marry to bolster the Lannister family, but this in itself seems unlikely Tywin would settle his daughter with Ned stark since he was looking to have his grandson be king. All in all its very situational for that to happen, and seems like a foolish move on Tywins part as The mad king would most likely become further paranoid from Tywin being the grandsire of the warden of the north and warden of the west when Tyrion has a child, but Tywin preferred his ambivalence during the rebellion until he could strike. Ned is too honorable for any of that and dealing with the Starks was never something Tywin could do, instead he'd break them and work with the remnants, which he could've if Joeffry didnt cut off Neds head. If not for that, Robb would never has as much pretext for war and would become leader of house stark in service to the king that spared his father,. Despite how Robb might feel, he wouldn't march if Ned was spared. But if Cersei married New, Ned would still most likely rebel against the throne after the death of his brother and father, despite what his father in law tells him after Rhagar kidnaps his sister. Ned would burn a lot of bridges but he still would've grown up with Robert and gone to war with him. Robert may end marrying Catelyn in this version giving him a reliable queen and preventing the strife of the show... at the sacrafice of house Stark because ned would never have any true children with Cersei, as Jaime would find a way to stay at winterfell with his true love

[@dakotalange2858]

@bingobingo7755 Not likely as he is a kings guard and would remain as one unless he was relieved by Robert to have him made warden of the west, while Tywin was ruthless, he would see the benefit of having both the west and north and ties to the vale and river lands would be a tempting power move for him and he could Mary his gran kids with the throne still in the future, as for Cersei don’t put the book version of her with this hypothetical version as she was young and grew into a bitter vengeful person due to Robert I think she would love Ned as he is loyal and honorable to not betray her like Robert did

@@ringobeer Well, you're not the only one. I'm looking through comments and I just saw another person mention it should be centered. I am uploading a new version and maybe that will help. Audiobook isn't very useful if people don't like listening, eh!
