Preston asked all of the editors 1 question before they joined the project: is Quentyn alive? The ones involved got the answer right.

[@ModernSynthesist]

LOOOOL 😂

[@ModernSynthesist]

I definitely enjoyed it. Really happy to see Strong Belwas, and the "we are seven" with the dragon roar is a great way to end the chapter!

[@bastianschrderlarsen6059]

I actually think more of Varys and hidden passage ways with Missandei appearing and disappearing like that

[@memeaficionado]

Agreed. I never really subscribed to the faceless man idea. She seems more of a spymaster than assassin

[@ThumbBandit04]

@@memeaficionado Her math doesn't add up concerning her brothers so either she's lying about something or GRRM really messed up her timeline. There's about 4-8 years she has memories of but she would have been 1-3 years old when what she talks about would have happened, plus somehow doing it so young should be impossible.

[@bastianschrderlarsen6059]

@@ThumbBandit04 Is it possible that she Is just older than she looks? I am not saying that you are wrong. I have not thought that much about it.

[@Jordan-zl4pn]

@@bastianschrderlarsen6059hello Arya parallel 👀

[@migarsormrapophis2755]

Quentyn is probably dead in the GRRM canon timeline, but I prefer the Preston canon.

[@ceilingfanenthusiast6041]

Agreed! I wonder what I'd think if I read GRRM's TWOW but for now I am kinda more excited for the fanfic!

[@LincolnMaurice]

I'd be thrilled if George keeps him alive, then reveals that he was inspired by Preston. Biggest fanfic flex ever.

[@domi6026]

That’s something I love about the fanfic, it’s doing its own thing and Quentyn being alive ensures that GRRM’s TWoW will be different

[@jacksliwa9447]

Given the Tyrion 3 outline that cuts things off at a pretty dramatic moment, it seems wild to end that without more directly referencing the outcome of the plan established in this chapter. Otherwise even more time needs to be dwelling on the events of the Battle of Fire when it's already suffered from so much George bloat. Putting that aside, I adore this chapter. You've thoroughly justified why Quentyn should be kept alive. I do question that his next chapter should be him journeying along the Demon Road. The many travelogue chapters have been peak George bloat and not all that exciting. I think that's part of the reason why many haven't opened their hearts to Quentyn. His chapters sometimes feel more about the places he's in rather than about him.

[@chumblewumble2422]

Travelogue chapters own

[@MadManManderly]

19:49 There's also a discussion of this in the Queenmaker chapter I believe. Darkstar considers it vengeance ("a little taste of lion blood", Arianne says it's justice and Darkstar says "call it what you will". And obviously Doran conflates them in his "Fire and Blood" speech. So the difference/conflation of these is definitely a key theme throughout, especially in Dorne. Good to see Quentyn on the moral side of it (Mercy not vengeance).

[@MadManManderly]

It's also in the Ned chapter (funnily enough still about the Mountain). It's when he sits the Iron Throne and condemns Clegane. Darry wants to take his vengeance but Ned wants justice so sends Beric. Oh and Rickard Karstark and Robb talk about it too I think.

[@alanpennie]

Quentyn is a good person.

[@somegenerichandle]

That antiseptic you mention, i was listening to the first book and it's mentioned that Syrio Forel uses it on Arya when she gets cat scratches.

[@stephaniec9539]

Love Quetyn having the valyrian steel arkah

[@LincolnMaurice]

The more I think about it, the more I think a good justification for Belwas' deterioration would be that he's been replaced by a Faceless Man, but one who didn't grasp his cadence and perspicacity quite right. (Obviously it's a George gaffe, but it's one way to reconcile it)

[@paulbutts5620]

The real reason to divy up the dragons is so we can have the "WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS" scene in the books

[@SHARKVADERS]

PJ IS BACK FOMOS

[@umwha]

Hey Preston. Loving the fanfic. May I ask how far in the future of the plot you are looking and planning? For instance. Do you have plans to bring in the Others soon? Have you thought about the circumstances in which you’ll bring the Long Night?

[@soter8253]

Kept us waiting 😢

[@ceilingfanenthusiast6041]

Huh

[@saskiaviking9447]

Interesting that Quentyn won't be staying in Meereen when Dany returns. She won't like that. I'm really intrigued with how Rhaegal will react to Victarion's dragonhorn.

[@matthew66306]

The project is very interesting. You guys are doing a good job.

[@theletterm5425]

What if Viserion just took off with Quentyn on his back and took him straight to Old Valyria? Kinda of a parallel to Aerea taking off on Balerion?

[@WhoIsCalli]

Thanks Preston

[@drakengarfinkel3133]

Amazing chapter!

[@Gui101do]

Preston King!

[@alanpennie]

*We are seven* is a ref. to The Seven Samurai.

[@TheEnecca]

I'm very interested in you plans with Quentyn on the Demon Road. Does he take Viserion with him? Dany will not be happy with this i imagine.

[@torben22.16]

Wait a second there are theories that Missandei is a faceless man???

[@alanpennie]

It does make sense. The Faceless would definitely want to keep a close watch on Dany.

[@torben22.16]

@@alanpennie yes but that could still be every character from Missandei to Grey Worm to some Cup bearer, to a guard, to probably the silver Mare she gets as a present, why Missandei specifically?

[@alanpennie]

@@torben22.16 She spends a lot of time in Dany's company.

Whats the difference if a video goes long, or if its a add on second video thats a halfhour?

Because I get tired.
