We are on a crusade to a spiritual holy land, the heavenly Jerusalem, the kingdom of heaven within. Lesson: Ain't nothing in the sea but the Drowned God. Mary consecrate and entrust our lives to the protection and care of the Holy Virgin and, through her patronage, dedicate ourselves to her service. From the sea, the Vale seemed to the Andals an ideal new home. Years later, Stannis sails through Blackwater Bay with a powerful navy – soon to be a flaming wreck thanks to a concealed chain Tyrion Lannister runs through the mouth of the bay, followed by a bath of wildfire. The Knights of the Vale were originally the knights of Andalos, an eastern nation whose people invaded Westeros thousands of years ago. The Knights of the Round Table (Welsh: Marchogion y Ford Gron, Cornish: Marghekyon an Moos Krenn, Breton: Marchegien an Daol Grenn) are the knights in the fellowship of King Arthur in the literary cycle of the Matter of Britain, a French-derived branch of Arthurian legend, appearing first in literature in the mid 12th century.The Knights are an order dedicated to ensuring the peace of Arthur. The Ironborn? Stannis out-admirals them and Robert proves they can't fight on land once he lands on Pyke. Danerys becomes 'Stormborn' when the storm accompanying her birth destroys the Targaryen fleet before it can cross the Narrow Sea. The Navy vets here just spit out their coffee. Lesson: Only an idiot launches a premature attack. The Dornish are like the Iraqi Kurds of Westeros, ready for revenge once they sew up their big patron. So while his brother the Red Viper dies in a vendetta, Doran locks up his bellicose nieces and thwarts his daughter's reckless plan for war.īut Doran's not backing down – he's just not fighting the Lannisters until his son Quentyn hooks up with Danerys and her dragons. He knows that there aren't enough Dornishmen for a war with the Lannisters – who murdered his sister, niece and nephew – and if they fight, they'll lose the awe of being an unconquered kingdom, the source of their deterrent. Everyone dismisses gouty Prince Doran as a weakling.
