#rumbleofwesteros - Round 3 My Favourite Things #teamnorth .....DORAN MARTELL..... And the Dornish Master Plan. “Aye,” the prince said. “I told the story to Ser Balon, but not all of it. As the children splashed in the pools, Daenerys watched from amongst the orange trees, and a realization came to her. She could not tell the high-born from the low. Naked, they were only children. All innocent, all vulnerable, all deserving of long life, love, protection. ‘There is your realm,’ she told her son and heir, ‘remember them, in everything you do.’ My own mother said those same words to me when I was old enough to leave the pools. It is an easy thing for a prince to call the spears, but in the end the children pay the price. For their sake, the wise prince will wage no war without good cause, nor any war he cannot hope to win. “I am not blind, nor deaf. I know that you all believe me weak, frightened, feeble. Your father knew me better. Oberyn was ever the viper. Deadly, dangerous, unpredictable. No man dared tread on him. I was the grass. Pleasant, complaisant, sweet-smelling, swaying with every breeze. Who fears to walk upon the grass? But it is the grass that hides the viper from his enemies and shelters him until he strikes. Your father and I worked more closely than you know ... but now he is gone. The question is, can I trust his daughters to serve me in his place?” - A Dance With Dragons, Prince Doran Martell I love this part of the book!! Doran is one character that we know is going to be a massive player in the books to come. (and quite possibly he already has been in the last few, behind the scenes... Sending Oberyn to KL To sit on the small council in his place was genius) youtube/playlist?list=PLCsx_OFEYH6uvfZSfec35DXBEpvA9fpm0 I found this theory on YouTube a while back. Its an amazing four part video, this guy, Preston Jacobs, piecing the details together and coming up with something he calls the Dornish Master Plan... A theory in which Doran and Oberyn had been planning the downfall of his sisters murderers for the past 16 years. I dont agree with it all, and I know there are a lot out there that wont either, but it has some theories that are hard to just dismiss once they have been suggested, and it certainly poses a lot of questions about what we thought we new. There was some hard research that went into these theories, so I would definitely recommend watching them all.. Your thoughts on The Prince of Dorne and/or his master plan....? #rumbleofwesteros #teamnorth - Sansa Lannister
