It\u2019s a rather significant place to hold the parley, given its history. It is where dragons were both housed and slaughtered, facts which might make it appeal to both sides in the current conflict. \u201cIt must have been the most dangerous place in the world,\u201d Tyrion marvels as they approach the arena. \u201cThis place was the beginning of the end\u201d of the Targaryens, notes Dany.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"59\">\u00a0Before the Sept of Baelor, the main Sept in King\u2019s Landing was the Sept of Remembrance \u2014 but like the Sept of Baelor, it was destroyed by fire. (In that case, dragonfire). Maegor the Cruel blasted it as his way of disbanding\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oDctlPybUps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Faith Militant<\/a>, just as Cersei later exploded the Sept of Baelor to reverse her restoration of the order. In place of the Sept, Maegor ordered a Dragonpit be built as a stable for the royal mounts, with forty vaults beneath a great dome. Inside the coliseum dome were benches that could seat 80,000 people, so it could also be used for public events, such as royal coronations and funerals.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"69\">As big as the pit was, it was still a confined space, and it seemed to slow the growth of the dragons bred and raised inside. None of the Dragonpit dragons \u2014 like Caraxes, Vermithor, Silverwing and Sheepstealer \u2014 ever reached the size of Aegon the Conqueror\u2019s dragons, Vhagar, Meraxes and Balerion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Post__ad\" data-reactid=\"70\">\n<p data-reactid=\"72\">During the Targaryen civil war, known as the Dance of the Dragons, a High Sparrow-like prophet known as the Shepherd came to King\u2019s Landing and began to preach that dragons were demons and that they needed to be cleansed from the city. He ultimately led an unruly mob of thousands of the smallfolk to storm the Dragonpit carrying torches and weapons. Hundreds, if not thousands, of men died, along with five dragons: four who were chained within (Shrykos, Morghul, Tyraxes and Dreamfyre) and another who came to help defend them (Syrax).<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"74\">The storming of the Dragonpit left it in ruins and the dome collapsed in a pile of stone and rubble. Thereafter, the spot was mostly abandoned, although it was used in an unofficial capacity in other ways \u2014 pyromancers would burn the bodies of plague corpses there, and prostitutes would use it to entertain clients. In the cellars beneath, there is still\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YqMrgvy9uMA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a cache of wildfire<\/a>, another fact of which Cersei would be well aware.

This might come as bad news to Jon\u2019s (sorry, Aegon\u2019s) aunt\/lover Dany, who didn\u2019t realize there was anyone else who remained in the line of succession for a Targaryen restoration. The whole situation is a little complicated, and not just because the Targaryens committed so much polygamy and incest that they actually used the term \u201csister-wife.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"80\">Aerys Targaryen, a.k.a. the Mad King, had three children: Rhaegar, Viserys and Daenerys. Rhaegar, the crown prince, married Elia Martell, who bore him two children, a son called Aegon and a daughter named Rhaenys. (That means that Jon\/Aegon had a half brother also called Aegon. Weird). According to Westerosi inheritance law, Rhaegar was the next in line of succession, and after him, his children: his infant son Aegon; then his second son Jon\/Aegon; then his daughter, Rhaenys, who was his first born and was named after one of Aegon the Conquerer\u2019s sister-wives. (If Rhaegar had fathered one more daughter, he would surely have named her after Aegon\u2019s other sister-wife, Visenya.)<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"82\">Rhaegar was obsessed with various prophecies that he interpreted to mean he would need three children to be dragon-riders: \u201cThe dragon has three heads.\u201d (And Elia, whose health was delicate, was having trouble providing one more, which might explain why her marriage to Rhaegar was annulled.) Because of the prophecies, Rhaegar wanted three legitimate heirs. He would not have sought to bastardize Aegon and Rhaenys (who were eventually killed by the Mountain alongside their mother), so he would have made certain that his two trueborn children at the time remained in the line of succession. Only Elia would have suffered from the annulment, in that she could not become queen.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"84\">After Elia\u2019s son, Aegon; Lyanna\u2019s son, Jon\/Aegon; and Elia\u2019s daughter, Rhaenys, the next in that line of succession was Viserys, who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Akl6OK2HUNA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was indeed crowned<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 if not the way he\u2019d hoped.

As Sam explains in \u201cA Feast for Crows,\u201d \u201cthe First Men only left us runes on rocks.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LJnMJc6Xgs0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jon shows Dany some of those runes<\/a>\u00a0in a cave.) \u201cEverything we think we know about the Age of Heroes and the Dawn Age and the Long Night comes from accounts set down by septons thousands of years later,\u201d Sam tells Jon. So what do we know?<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"92\">The White Walkers \u2014 called the Others in George R.R. Martin\u2019s books \u2014 live in the Land of Always Winter, which Bran sees in one of his visions: \u201cNorth and north and north he looked, to the curtain of light at the end of the world, and then beyond that curtain. He looked deep into the heart of winter, and then he cried out, afraid.\u201d Whatever Bran could see there, we know it\u2019s terrifying.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"94\">Are the White Walkers dead themselves? Not according to Martin,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=i_SorqUvsOEC&amp;lpg=PT203&amp;ots=5oK3EkTd8Y&amp;pg=PT203&amp;hl=en#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">who has described them<\/a>\u00a0as \u201ca different sort of life \u2026 inhuman, elegant, dangerous.\u201d They speak their own language, something called Skroth, which sounds \u201clike the cracking of ice on a winter lake,\u201d and when they laugh, it sounds \u201csharp as icicles.\u201d Not only do they sound like ice, they also fashion their weapons and other substances out of ice. \u201cThe Others can do things with ice that we can\u2019t imagine,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20051103091500\/nrctc.edu\/fhq\/vol1iss3\/00103009.htm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martin has said<\/a>. Perhaps because of their connection to ice, they avoid sunlight. \u201cThey won\u2019t come out by day,\u201d Tormund tells Jon. \u201cNot when that old sun\u2019s shining.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"96\">We\u2019ve seen Craster sacrifice his male babies to the White Walkers, who then\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=es9Q81MwPkQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">take them to the Land of Always Winter<\/a>. There is a common curse in Westeros \u2014 \u201cthe Others take you\u201d \u2014 which suggests that this practice of donating or sacrificing children to build the White Walker\u2019s ranks has a history beyond Craster\u2019s hundred or so sons. The White Walkers may also be using humans to reproduce in another way. Old Nan claimed that during the Long Night, women slept with the White Walkers and created \u201cterrible half-human children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"98\">From what we\u2019ve seen in the show, the Night King (in the books he is called the Night\u2019s King) is the head of the White Walker army. According to Old Nan, the original Night\u2019s King was also a Stark, in addition to being the 13th Lord Commander of the Night\u2019s Watch. The story she tells makes it sound as if this man fell for a sorceress who resembled a White Walker, a \u201ccorpse queen,\u201d whose skin was cold as ice and \u201cwhite as the moon,\u201d and who had eyes like blue stars.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"100\">He took this woman for a wife, and when he brought her back to the Nightfort, he bound the men of the Night\u2019s Watch to his will \u201cwith strange sorceries\u201d for 13 years, until the other Starks and the wildlings joined forces to free them. Is there a Night\u2019s Queen as well?<\/p>\n<h4 data-reactid=\"102\"><\/h4>\n<p data-tag=\"subhead\"><strong>Read these great \u2018Game of Thrones\u2019 articles from around the web<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"103\"><strong>\u2018\u201cGame of Thrones\u201d Season 7 Finale: Humanity Is Still the Biggest Threat of All\u2019 [<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theringer.com\/game-of-thrones\/2017\/8\/28\/16213140\/game-of-thrones-season-seven-finale-recap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Ringer<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"105\">\u201cThe Night King is, as Jon calls him, a general who can\u2019t be reasoned with, an existential threat to put mankind\u2019s comparatively minuscule differences in perspective.

The only fan he was servicing was himself, one who took great care to build complex narratives that fit together immaculately over thousands of pages built by hundreds of characters and interwoven story lines. His stories were about the slow build, the journey between twists that would come in unexpected places in unexpected ways.
