If they were planning to do the Battle of Blood with a Euron who wasn't a Saturday Morning Cartoon pirate, yes. But otherwise, they don't serve much purpose in the story (so far)
i no longer wonder why it's taking George R R Martin so long to finish these books, because if you have to think about how hundreds of characters would respond every time someone makes a decision most of us would go mad probably.
He’s not working on the books, and he’ll never finish them. The sooner we all accept this, the sooner we can all move on and deal with the fact that the TV show is the only ending we’ll ever see.
@@ryanmaninga3163 do you realize he’s been saying that since season 1 of the show? Every single year, he guarantees the next book is less than a year away.
@@craigmills6275i don’t believe it will be next year, but i guarantee he will finish them before he dies unless he’s hit by a bus. No way he lets his legacy go unfinished.
The “other guy” was a Lord Commander of King Aerys II Kingsguard, perhaps the most deadly 7 knights ever assembled in a KG; Lord Commander: Gerold Hightower Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning Prince Lewyn Martell Ser Oswell Whent Ser Jonothor Darry Ser Barristan Selmy Ser Jamie Lannister
They’re the perfect example of “too big to fail”. And they did just enough to scrape by and not get invaded by the Targaryens and others. I think in King Robert’s time they were still fallen from grace and people didn’t trust them, but tolerated them as they were so rich.
@@thalmoragent9344 not necessarily. Many won’t risk an invasion on such a fortified city, it would cause a lot of lives for not a lot of gain. The Hightowers are playing ball, there really is not reason for such violence.
HA. The Hightowers are ANYTHING BUT "fallen from grace". The books are filled with well-known Hightowers. Including the Lord Commander of Aerys II's Kingsguard, and Mace Tyrell's wife.
@@gooby214 yeah, like I said, they’re too big to fail. People still like them, but not enough to elevate them. They should be in the same esteem as the Lannisters and the Targaryens. Yet, they’re not. They avoid the war of the 5 Kings again- the Crown offered the Tarleys Warden of the Reach.
I’ve recently came across a prediction that suggests that the pale haired woman besides Euron in Aeron’s foresaken vision isn’t Cersei as many tend to believe but Malora Hightower and now I refuse to believe any other option
Or dany, the pale haired woman he’s actually associated with and pursuing for marriage, plus his plans involving the dragons and his horn. I hadn’t actually heard anyone say it’s cercei
@@StealthMaestroSharpe Daenerys seems like an obvious one, almost too obvious. To me and to many others, I think it’s clear that Daenerys is meant to be a red herring (especially considering Euron’s plan to marry her and the whole dragonbinder thing). Cersei is actually a really common one, obviously because of the show but also many think Aegon will end up taking KL which would either result in her death/capture or, more popularly, fleeing to Casterly Rock (I believe Germ mentioned we’ll actually visit it at some point) which would leave her in direct interaction with Euron.
Interesting thing about all of this is that Sam is conveniëntly placed at Hightower at the right time for us to get a POV for the events outside of Ironborn eyes, which kinda implies the Damphair might not make it out alive. I feel like Euron isn't targeting Oldtown for the Hightowers, but rather to bring down the Maesters and Faith of the Seven.
That's a good point - not many people point out the Starry Sept being a target. Makes sense for such a "godless man" to want to desecrate the westeros equivalent of the Vatican
Euron's going to cast the fury of the Drowned God upon Oldtown just for a Gundam mech to appear that is being piloted by Leyton 'the based' hightower himself.
I’m subscribing solely off the fact you said “why’s he getting High Tower, she’s kinda shy Tower, wait did he just die Tower, and wait which one is this guy Tower?” 😂😂😂
Love that you pointed out the oily black stone and the Lovecraft mythos connection. GRRM made a lot of homage references to Lovecraft, Chambers, Derleth, Wagner and more in his world.
The black stone at the bottom of the Hightower is the oily black stone but Fused black stone, made by dragons. But the stone predates the Valyrian freehold so there’s a theory that there were dragon lords before the valyrians, perhaps the great empire of the dawn. They have fused black stone forts by the grey waste. Maybe they were the first dragon lords
I did not even need to watch to full video to tell you my good man that you will be a great TH-camr and/or presenter. You have no idea how much of the skills you currently possess are valued so dearly in a professional environment. Keep up the amazing work brother. You got yourself a subscriber :)
and now that Daemon has had his vision he's fully onboard to help save the future, it's just a shame that be the time of GOT the visions have become nightmares and the king is killed over them as nobody can explain his madness... so book and record keeping mustn't have been so good at the end of HOTD or somebody hid it all away so it just became legend.
Funny thing is, the Hightowers may have been Dragonlords WAY back in the day. (Fuzed Black Stone at the base of the Hightower, and some random story claiming that it was a Hightower that killed the last Dragon in Westeros all the way back in rhe Dawn Age, but what if it was a Hightower putting his Dragon companion out of his misery? Who knows) Like, they may have been associated with the Great Empire of the Dawn. Meaning that, whether they had dragons or not, they have been around longer than any of the other Lord Paramount houses, and even Valyria itself. They have features similar to that of the Valyrians, the Silver-Blonde hair in particular The Hightowers don't often go to war, and are respected for handling business and Oldtown in general rather well. The Dance of the Dragons was like, the one time they made a heavy effort to go on the offensive for something not directly affecting Oldtown.
@@requaldebbarma3383 I know right🤦😂🤣. And FYI, this isn't the only time he had said something non sense, He's been having a lot of confusions and Delusions in various posts and videos for a long time. I've been telling him for months to stop with this Delusions...
@@dineshbalu6107 I don't know about most of the things he says, but there is supporting evidence for the Hightowers link to the Great Empire of the Dawn. He gets his information from the long running theory about the mythical empire, which are mentioned in the books in the earliest days of ASOIAF lore. There's a detailed video called "Empire of the Dawn: Ancient Mystery of ASOIAF" which is interesting.
I always thought that in GoT season 7 that Danny should have landed at Oldtown rather than Dragonstone. It would have a port to unload her fleet, the region was not touched by the war and could support her army. She could have sent the Dothraki across the reach and disrupted communication between Kings Landing and Casterly Rock, thus splitting the Lannister forces.
@@thebayharborbutcher9115 True but she had military advisors that should have known better. Landing on Dragonstone was stupid because she would have to disembark her entire army when they got there and then re-embark to actually go conquer Westeross. Loading and offloading hundreds of ships is a big job that nobody wants to do twice and requires a large port do be done well. Oldtown.
@@alexh4436 She should have landed the army in Dorne which was allied to her by this time. While Olenna is in charge of Highgarden she is not necessarily in charge of the Reach and the Hightowers.
This was randomly recommended to me by TH-cam, but i loved the format, and I especially liked the Ottoble commercial lmao. Would def subscribe for some machiavelous ASMR from Otto, and you got me to subscribe to u as well for that one. Keep this up, the video was really well thought through and fun to watch.
@@gooby214 And they were all brushed over. But I think he is talking about the Tyrells. Extinct down in one go. Some Harrenhal shit. But i think the same happened to the lovely Freys, the Cleganes, Mormont, etc. And now that I think about it all major houses (but the Starks) seem to have been sloppily left with one member and still keot as Lord Houses despite how moribund they looked like Yara the last Greyjoy - I'd imagine the show would've tried to make it matriarchial to keep the name, can't see that fly in the books Tyrion the last Lannister - not even sure if the show had Lannisport cousins in it, probably not Seasons-Forgotten Edmure the last Tully - can't imagine the riverlands respecting these weak clowns after the whole regions' apocalypse That random Prince of Dorne that spawned after they realised they killed off all Martells And fecking Gendry.
I heard a theory that Leyton's got a glass candle burning up in that tower, and it's just so cool that I believe it's true with like no evidence or thoughts
I'm just gonna say this. That high-pitched replay of "salt throne" was the perfect mocking. Today everything has to be a blatant insult, and somewhat friendly mocking is almost too mannered of a behaviour to encounter. So, you're a man of culture, ser Fantasy Haven!
So, I was just watching the video and I HAD to check the channel name due to the animations and noticed you only had 3.52k subs. So, I subbed too. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad they left that out of GOT because there were already plenty of story lines to keep track of. They should just give each large house their own shows and crossover when necessary 😂😂
yeah honestly READING is one thing bc it’s pretty easy to flip back through the pages and find the information you seek. too many plot line in the show is part of the reason my friend couldn’t get into it. she was super confused (so was i tbh when watching the first few episodes) bc there was just way too much to keep track of. it only got easier once everyone was connected in some way or another but i was hella confused for awhile
Good stuff , you really are appeasing my adhd mind thinking about a lot of unanswered questions that people like me care about very much. You got one about house Reed during GOT?
'In deep geek' said once that Hightowers are only ones that could be considered to have won in the dance of the dragons. Most of the seven kingdoms either stayed were they were (Starks, Arryns, Dorne, Iron Islands), took some heavy hits and significant losses which they had to recover for years (Lannisters, Baratheons, Velaryons) or got the shit absolutely and truly rocked (Targeryans, Crownlands and Riverlands). But Hightowers came out in stronger than what they were before, enriching themselves.
The Hightowers only came out "stronger" was because they completely changed their ideology between pre and post- dance. Alicent and Otto would have a heart attack to see what the Hightowers turned into
Bruh, just cuz they are doing fine now means they have won a war which happened more than a century ago? Perhaps it's cuz the new generation obv aren't corrupt & dirty imbecile like Otto his brother & alicent, those houses u said not all of them were took hit cuz of the dance, the hell?
@@rose-yw5xfnot really, the main branch of the Hightowers were way smarter than otto or Alicent (who were a cadet branch but were powerful as Alicent was kings wife and otto was hand) . Otto lost his family during the dance while his relative Hightowers who were the lords of oldtown got even richer and Stronger after the dance ended.
@@Att964 Well the main branch did follow alicent and otto’s lead during the war. Otto has power as the hand, but he doesn’t have access to house Hightowers resources. Only his brother and his heirs do. And they obviously followed Ottos lead. They weren’t smarter, it’s just that they didn’t die. When I say that alicent and Otto would have a heart attack seeing what house Hightower became. I meant that house Hightower became significantly less religious and even dirtied the high septon at one point. And that it was a women who made their house richer and powerful After the dance, lord Lyonel Hightower married his stepmother, lady Sam. The high septon found their marriage to be illegitimate, but lyonel hightower didn’t care. Lady Sam was a prominent Black and ally to king aegon 3. Lady Sam protected Lotho Rogare after the fall of House Rogare and together they founded the Bank of Old town. That’s how house Hightower became richer and more powerful, because of a black supporting Aegon 3.
The Hightower knew well Aegon I and his sisters because they had been guests in Oldtown, so It's comprehensible they opened the door of the city peacefully
Im currently in the middle of season 8 in my 2nd rewatch after 4 years and i just found out that Margaery Tyrell has hightower blood in her. So basically the hightowers were indirectly involved in the middle of GoT.
Thanks! Yeah, I create the characters & backgrounds on Photopea and use Davinci Resolve to animate (they're basically the free versions of Photoshop and Premier Pro)
On the Salt Throne thing. I actually like that name, but I also am electing to take the show canon as a separate entity. Within that, maybe both thrones do exist. For whatever reason, perhaps the iron islanders chose to switch to the Salt Throne after some sort of disagreement over the old one. Who knows? Maybe the old one mysteriously vanished one day. Surely it was too big and heavy to just up and steal...but then, where did it go? I don't know. I just made all this up...but, hey, that's how most great stories start.
Interesting ideas. I don't necessarily think "Seastone Chair' is a fantastic name, but "Salt Throne" just sounded kinda goofy to me. It was emblematic of the strange unnecessary changes GoT kept making in the later seasons
1:39 This is the O'Neill clan symbol in its literal sense: the Red Hand from Game of Thrones is replaced with a green hand. Based on what you mentioned about Garth Greenhand, one could argue that the equivalent would be Niall of Nine Hostages, whose descendants also created multiple clans, among them the O'Neill, who were the main Ulster rulers, etc. An analysis has suggested that many Irish people are descended from Niall of Nine Hostages, suggesting that GMM has drawn heavily from Irish history.

The Hightower’s are one of the oldest and greatest houses

What house? The show destroyed many houses.
@@gooby214 And they were all brushed over. But I think he is talking about the Tyrells. Extinct down in one go. Some Harrenhal shit. But i think the same happened to the lovely Freys, the Cleganes, Mormont, etc.
And now that I think about it all major houses (but the Starks) seem to have been sloppily left with one member and still keot as Lord Houses despite how moribund they looked like
Yara the last Greyjoy - I'd imagine the show would've tried to make it matriarchial to keep the name, can't see that fly in the books
Tyrion the last Lannister - not even sure if the show had Lannisport cousins in it, probably not

'In deep geek' said once that Hightowers are only ones that could be considered to have won in the dance of the dragons. Most of the seven kingdoms either stayed were they were (Starks, Arryns, Dorne, Iron Islands), took some heavy hits and significant losses which they had to recover for years (Lannisters, Baratheons, Velaryons) or got the shit absolutely and truly rocked (Targeryans, Crownlands and Riverlands). But Hightowers came out in stronger than what they were before, enriching themselves.
Common Hightower W
The Hightowers only came out "stronger" was because they completely changed their ideology between pre and post- dance. Alicent and Otto would have a heart attack to see what the Hightowers turned into
Bruh, just cuz they are doing fine now means they have won a war which happened more than a century ago? Perhaps it's cuz the new generation obv aren't corrupt & dirty imbecile like Otto his brother & alicent, those houses u said not all of them were took hit cuz of the dance, the hell?
@@rose-yw5xfnot really, the main branch of the Hightowers were way smarter than otto or Alicent (who were a cadet branch but were powerful as Alicent was kings wife and otto was hand) . Otto lost his family during the dance while his relative Hightowers who were the lords of oldtown got even richer and Stronger after the dance ended.
@@Att964 Well the main branch did follow alicent and otto’s lead during the war. Otto has power as the hand, but he doesn’t have access to house Hightowers resources. Only his brother and his heirs do. And they obviously followed Ottos lead. They weren’t smarter, it’s just that they didn’t die.
When I say that alicent and Otto would have a heart attack seeing what house Hightower became. I meant that house Hightower became significantly less religious and even dirtied the high septon at one point. And that it was a women who made their house richer and powerful
After the dance, lord Lyonel Hightower married his stepmother, lady Sam. The high septon found their marriage to be illegitimate, but lyonel hightower didn’t care. Lady Sam was a prominent Black and ally to king aegon 3. Lady Sam protected Lotho Rogare after the fall of House Rogare and together they founded the Bank of Old town. That’s how house Hightower became richer and more powerful, because of a black supporting Aegon 3.
Great video! Loved the fact your didn’t spoil anything for HOTD subscribed! Love your sense of humour haha 😆
Thanks! All my videos will have spoiler warnings at the start, I want book readers and show only fans alike in this community :)
The Hightower knew well Aegon I and his sisters because they had been guests in Oldtown, so It's comprehensible they opened the door of the city peacefully
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Holy shit dude this channel is hilarious I love it
Thanks!
I never want this magical world to end!! 💜💜💜
Im currently in the middle of season 8 in my 2nd rewatch after 4 years and i just found out that Margaery Tyrell has hightower blood in her.
So basically the hightowers were indirectly involved in the middle of GoT.
Hilarious and informative. Instant sub
Welcome aboard!
Awesome vid, cool animations and a smooth voice. I subbed :)
Do you do the animations yourself?
Thanks! Yeah, I create the characters & backgrounds on Photopea and use Davinci Resolve to animate (they're basically the free versions of Photoshop and Premier Pro)
do a Daenerys video too which cities against her which cities sides with her etc
Interesting idea
High pitched "salt throne" killed me lol
new channel keep going, there are lot of topics in game of thrones on which you can post videos, can improve the animation.
Cheers
On the Salt Throne thing. I actually like that name, but I also am electing to take the show canon as a separate entity. Within that, maybe both thrones do exist. For whatever reason, perhaps the iron islanders chose to switch to the Salt Throne after some sort of disagreement over the old one. Who knows? Maybe the old one mysteriously vanished one day. Surely it was too big and heavy to just up and steal...but then, where did it go? I don't know. I just made all this up...but, hey, that's how most great stories start.
Interesting ideas. I don't necessarily think "Seastone Chair' is a fantastic name, but "Salt Throne" just sounded kinda goofy to me. It was emblematic of the strange unnecessary changes GoT kept making in the later seasons
@@fantasyhaven1 well, not everything is for everyone.
Great video 😂👍
Well done sir
Thank you
1:39 This is the O'Neill clan symbol in its literal sense: the Red Hand from Game of Thrones is replaced with a green hand. Based on what you mentioned about Garth Greenhand, one could argue that the equivalent would be Niall of Nine Hostages, whose descendants also created multiple clans, among them the O'Neill, who were the main Ulster rulers, etc. An analysis has suggested that many Irish people are descended from Niall of Nine Hostages, suggesting that GMM has drawn heavily from Irish history.
Very well done
Thanks
