Love it. To me, a sacrifice has to be something important to the user, but Euron doesn't care about siblings, children and all the other people he is sacrificing. He only cares about himself. So sacrificing himself, his leap of faith, would be the greatest sacrifice he could offer.
Another great video Amanda! This is a great line of symbolism you’ve picked up on. I’ve thought of some other parallels while watching and thought they might be of interest to you: - The Titan of Braavos has green hair and firey red eyes, giving us green at the top of this “Tower” who is a giant said to wake - The burning of the Tower of the Hand with wildfire gives us a symbolic burning green hand at the red keep, which reminds me of the order of the green hand and their association with the burning trees with red hands, the weirwoods, who are described as giants several times - When Luwin takes Bran down to the crypts we see Shaggydog presented as a great beast waking beneath a tower (The First Keep) in the winterfell crypts, and is described as having eyes like green fire - “He thrust his arm into the blackness inside the tomb, as into the mouth of some great beast. "Do you see? It's quite empt-" The darkness sprang at him, snarling. Bran saw eyes like green fire, a flash of teeth, fur as black as the pit around them.” - The supposed Horn of Winter the Melisandre burns at the Wall is said to burn with green fire - Greenseers have harnessed the fire of the gods to use the firey weriwoods for their Greensight, could the power of the Greenseers be seen as symbolic Green Fire? - And we are presented with a symbolic giant beast waking at the battle of the blackwater that sounds like a dragon breathing Green fire - “And then some vast beast had let out a roar, and green flames were all around them: wildfire, pyromancer's piss, the jade demon.” I really think you’re on to something here! Keep up the amazing work!
Eldric, wow, yes. Im wanting to do a video with a closer look at the titan, specifically the "roaring" which i think is a stand in for horn blowing. I touch on it a bit in my broken swords video with the old man of the river, but its definitely a thing. And the green angel tower of MS&T is called that because of a green bronze angel on the top of the tower which is similar to the broze harpy at the top of the pyramid. I was really enjoying one of your videos the other day that was taking a closer look at horns and the hammer of the waters. Thanks so much for watching and becoming a member, I really appreciate it ❤. - CFD
@@TheDisputedLands More than happy to become a member! I’d say your Ironborn series is some of the best content out there and wanted to show my appreciation and say thankyou for everything you do! And you inspired me to start my own channel and I can’t describe how happy I am you’ve watched one of my videos! Not sure if this helps with your roaring giant research but I’ve come across this same line of symbolism as well while investigating the stone kings of winter Because interestingly all the roaring giants we see through the series are presented as either literally or symbolically being made of stone, just like the Kings of Winter: - The Titan of Braavos is a giant made of stone who roars and comes to life (with the roaring sound presumably made by horns within the titan?) - The Old Man of the River is a giant with a hard exterior who roars like a warhorn - Wun Wun is a symbolic stone giant when he is described as “a boulder coming to life” who also roars as he wakes - Gregor Clegane is a giant made of stone who is described as roaring like some animal - Hodor is a giant who parallels a stone king of winter while beyond the wall with his one eye frozen shut, beard of ice and rusted red sword from the crypts, and is described as roaring as he rises after Bran skin changes him to fight the wights And additionally while not stone the Umbers sigil is described a roaring giant in shattered chains, a sigil we see present on the childrens tower at Moat Cailin where the hammer of the waters was called down and giants woke in the earth Amazing video once again Amanda!
I love how often Euron is fancast as Mads Mikkelsen. He doesn't have the colours but he has the right vibe for sure. And if Charles Dance managed to be the best Vetinari so far while blond, that wouldn't be an issue here either.
I really like him as an actor...but despite Theon and Euron favoring each other, they don't have that dark, greasy look that the Greyjoys seem to be depicted as having, in the books. Even Asha/Yara is much lighter in show than depicted in books.
Made Mikkelsen had such an odd sort of aspect to him. A bit like Christopher Walken. Not like I'd know, but apparently they're supposed to both be really nice and kind of goofy. They both always seem to have an underlying threatening feel to them.
It's so strange that Christopher Walken got pigeonholed into villain roles. I've first seen him in The Deer Hunter where he's still young and sweet (and delivers a very intense performance). The same thing kinda happened to Terence Stamp. The man started out being a very cute and innocent Billy Budd and became a go-to villain later. @@thegreenmanofnorwich
Watching Euron, what many Targaryens had in mind, and how Dany actually hatched the eggs, I am so sure that Stannis is gonna burn Shireen for that reason exactly and I am sad. And I wouldn't find it weird if Selyse is also in the sacrifice along with Patch who is a direct parallel to Aeron if not even himself as well. Great Video, so glad you will be uploading more often!!!
I could see that scenario happening, but not at Stannis' command. Melissandre would order it in Stannis' name while he's away at battle. Didn't think of Selyse being brought into the pyre, but it makes sense. Good thought.
@@AKWatchX The Sacrifice must be important to Stannis though. He was already very down on sacrificing Edric, I can easily see him agreeing sadly. After all, he was the one who said: "I never asked for this crown. Gold is cold and heavy on the head, but so long as I am the king, I have a duty . . . If I must sacrifice one child to the flames to save a million from the dark . . . Sacrifice . . . is never easy, Davos. Or it is no true sacrifice. Tell him, my lady." Melisandre said, "Azor Ahai tempered Lightbringer with the heart's blood of his own beloved wife. If a man with a thousand cows gives one to god, that is nothing. But a man who offers the only cow he owns . . ." Even if it is Mel's idea, he will agree and he is gonna be as guilty as her.
@@CompanyOfTheCat Sacrificing Edric would be easy for him though; we know how he was conceived lol. Stannis lises nothing burning him. That said though, I'm not saying he doesn't have it in him or that he'd be innocent, just that he wouldn't make that order. "Pray harder." Is also a quote from him in reply to being asked to sacrifice some unfaithful to get rid of the storm. You totes may be right though among many other things, I'm very interested to see whether Melisandre would even try to seek his permission. She's desperate and trying to force her interpretation of this prophecy. Fingers crossed Grrm doesn't leave us in suspense much longer.
@@AKWatchX He has to agree otherwise the sacrifice doesn't really count though. He didn't care for Edric, thus the sacrifice would be useless (If a man with a hundred cows gives one to god is nothing...). If they indeed want to for the sacrifice to count they need something that Stannis cares about and he has to be the one who will give it, not Mel. Plus, George has said that Stannis will sacrifice her, which is one of the three series things that are confirmed for winds.
I'm excited to be covering this topic, and its like once I do one I have another one to piggyback from with not enough time to do. I need to cath up on your stuff because I've seen the thumbnail for your patchface video and have been meaning to watch it! But mel will definitely need more sacrifices and the thought of what she is willing to do is terrifying.
Wow, George R.R. Martin is a true genius for coming up with all of this. Amanda your ability to hunt down clues and piece it all together for us is incredibly impressive, you're a true literature detective!
Such a great video. Very nice compilation of ideas and evidence. I've got a few things to add: -In memory sorrow and thorn, the heroes bring the three sword together at Green Angle tower. They think this will allow them to defeat Ineluki, but this is a mistake and is a condition for his resurrection. Kind of like Sam bringing the horn to Oldtown if it allows Euron to undergo his transformation. -I think the series of events could look like this: Euron drinking wildfire, blowing the horn, and then jumping from the Hightower as it collapses with or onto his sacrifices in a fiery inferno. It would be such a rad terrible scene, which really motivates George. -In the house of the Undying, Dany is given three visions and then told she will be the slayer of lies. The first scene is Stannis (blue-eyed king, no shadow), the third is fAegon (cloth dragon on poles, cheering crowd), and the third seems to be Euron: from a smoking tower, a great stone beast took wing, breathing shadow fire. Thus, Euron will become a dragon of sorts and Dany will slay him after slaying Stannis and fAegon. ...or at least that was the plan in 1998. Now who knows.
Mega Epic! GRRM loves playing with the idea that "What goes up, must come down." be it with the "High" tower, the Wall, or even a character, like Euron. "Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a Fall." Proverb 16:18. We also can't forget that all of this would be occurring at "Battle Isle", as well. If that's not a hint, I don't know what is. Cheers! P.S. Congratulations on "going pro" as a content creator! \m/
The Colossus of Rhodes is an obvious inspiration for the Titan of Bravos and was also 1 of the 7 wonders of the ancient world (along with the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which you mention in this video). The Colossus also fell to earthquakes as well, if historical accounts are to be believed.
@@TheDisputedLandsStephen king dark tower euron is Randal flag who is an avatar of Lovecraft the haunter of the dark who seeks godhood at the top of the tower
This tower sacrifice "pattern" is definitely a thing. This may or may not make a deal sense, as I've been focused of a couple other patterns. Short version, there are roughly 5 parallel and over lapping patterns. They express in different ways. This tower pattern as you noted has a mirror in the Titan. It also reflects in the pyramid of Meereen. Few note the significance of the dragon that burnned the prince. It was Rhaegal. As each dragon's flame is also reflected in the colour of their flame, Quentyn died in a ball of "green" flame. This prince burned by green was taken to the top of the pyramid. A tall tower with a green burned sun at the top of it. The crofter's tower isn't significantly tall. What Stannis has is traitorous Karstarks. Karstarks have a sunburst as their sigil. Hold one at the top of the tower and somehow he dies with a green symbolism and you have a green fire atop a tower. Stannis is torn between burning Theon or beheading him. All of the potential AA figures contain the elements of a figurative or a literal green fire atop a tower. I believe the preview to this event is contained in Cersei burning the Tower of the Hand. With all its secret passages it fits as a tower/labyrinth and green flame. This was a bit incoherent and I apologize for that. I'm in no way attempting to take away or arguing against what you're saying. I'm saying that good or bad all of the AA narratives will be built on the bones of the same basic template fleshed out in figurative or literal ways. And all 5 can be found by this pattern. Understanding one tells you something about the other 4. Like having 5 pieces of single picture. One way to find them is by their hanging figure. Usually a death/old figure over a younger broken one. BR over Bran, Selmy over Quentyn, Stoneheart over Brienne, Stannis over Theon, Euron over Aeron. What is a Bloodstone? It's red and green. Turning a red flame into green, or mixing the two is a clear bloodstone symbol. Thoros is a red priest but he uses wildfire on his sword, red/green. His swords burned by wildfire also double as a mirror to the burned sword Stannis has. A false Lightbringer. The patterns are deep, but I lack a sounding board so organizing these thoughts is a challengez sorry again.
I love this so much im pinning it, I think you hit the nail on the head here, especially in merreen where Quentin also awakens a dragon sleeping inside the stone walls, really beautiful parallel.
Company of the Cat has a nice one out recently which proposes that Aerion and Arys were dreaming of Dany, (who successfully hatched eggs) but as no one thought the PTWP could be a princess, they thought of themselves.
Yes, its an older theory. I mentioned Joe Magician and Robert from Indeepgeek also have videos on the topic, I think everyone's analysis is great, but the problem is, is that these creators might not realize that Euron is doing exactly this, he is literally making a metaphorical dragon transformation and the hightower is where it is happening and at the spot where this transformation is to occur, the beacon is going to be lit by wildfire. So in addition to all the other dreamers being sent dreams of Euron, Aerys and Aerion are simply among those many others which is why Aerion is given so many parallels to Euron's character, GRRM is inviting us to compare the two.
More amazing work as always! I'm a big believer in this, I'm guessing you've heard of the youtuber Glidus, he did an amazing 2 video series on the topic of how exactly Dany gave birth to her dragons and it feels like that synchs nicely with your theory about Euron. Also, Euron's quote about leaping off 'some tall tower' is a more natural way of saying 'leap off Hightower', a little on the nose but then George can be that way with his big locations i.e Winterfell. Oldtown is definitely looking like ground zero for something awful: Euron's headed there with his sacrifices, we've got wildfire, we've got the Horn of Winter (probably), we've got kings blood via Mance's baby that's with Gilly plus the Faceless Men. Best idea Marwyn ever had was getting out of Dodge.
Hey thank you so much! I haven't checked out Glidus' theory, but sounds intriguing! 100% agree, always follow what the person with the glass candle is doing, they absolutely know what's up.
You nailed it!! This was such an amazing series of videos. What a crazyy picture you painted of Euron. I can’t wait to read what GrrM is cooking up for us 😁🤘🏼
Well done as always Amanda. Really interesting stuff , its crazy to think of the potential carnage and general result(s) Euron's insanely evil sacrifice will give rise to. Multiple types of ultra-taboo type sacrifices very much included. Multiple counts of kinslaying via fratricide (Aeron / brother) & filicide (his unborn child). Euron's unborn child could be considered king's blood as well , mother of his child being sacrificed as well. Along with so many types of sacrifices from numerous magical & religious orders (seems to have so many varied types covered there). Ntm , the sheer amount of sacrifice will be massive. Euron seems to be covering every possible evil angle with this impending bloodbath. Magical horns and wildfire in close proximity as well. Toppling towers could very well be on the menu along with Euron's evil ascension (or at the least a key step towards that). I just hope sooner rather than later all the evil darkness Euron is dabbling in ideally literally but at least figuratively blows up in his face and he is possibly overwhelmed / consumed by it in a very Lovecraftian way.

I'm wondering if maybe you can see the wall from oldtown in the fire, like the way melisandre sees visions in the fire. It could be that is how the saying started since its a rumor. Supposedly there are others that can see things in the flames like Alys Rivers during the dance.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Horn of Winter. It would make sense if the wall it brought down was actually the walls of Moat Cailin. Euron performing a ritual at the top of the High Tower would parallel the Hanmer of the Waters that was said to have taken place at the Children’s Tower
I'll eventually be doing a video about roaring giants that will hit on moat cailin, its definitely one of the more mysterious and magical locations in ASOIAF. Thanks so much!
Interesting how in elden ring there is a way to turn yourself into a dragon but no one succeeds and they all become ugly wyrms. I wonder if euron will succeed or become something awful and disgusting.
I am also thinking of the foreshadowing. The burning of the library of Winterfell... the burning of the Library of high-towers / library of Alexandria.
I just hope that the Hightowers, the Hightower itself, and Oldtown survive Euron's diabolical plans. Would be a shame for such monoliths of Planetos to be taken down after many millennium of greatness
Well also note the Hightower itself might be built on the ruins of something far older. This is the way of the world. The glories of old are destroyed so they can be replaced by new wonders later on. All things will die.
It does seem that Euron's characters is on the cusp of some diabolical, Lovecraftian transformation. But into what? A dragon? Aeron's elixir driven vision described him as something more akin to a Kraken.
You are GOOD. Like really really good. Keep up the good work. I know your videos are worth the wait because the analysis is so brilliant. Meanwhile, GGRM after watching this video: I'll have to rewrite the damn thing all over again...they guessed it
I'm going to be disappointed if there is not a battle of magical wills involving Euron and Lord Hightower and the Mad Maid, fueled by the ambient energy released by the sacrifices, Sam's horn being blown, and whatever comes blasting through the glass candles.
I feel like magical battles in this world would be decided on who is willing to lose the most to get that power. And I find no one else in the setting willing to lose more than Euron.
A holiday gift--another great vid from Disputed Lands! Wow, never thought maybe it was Sam's horn that the Pate/faceless man might be after--to give to Euron!!! Such great food for thought, all of it. Thank you and Happy Holidays! 🌞☃🎄
I remember reading Memorry Sorrow and Thorn and never realizing I skipped To Green Angel Tower Part I (book 3 of 4) and it never made a lick of difference to the outcome. In fact, it allowed me not to read about characters I could not care about. And I remember reading the final conclusion and being utterly pissed because ... nothing mattered.
Wonder if the show having cersei blow up the great sept was a nod to this idea that Euron would blow up hightower with wildfire (maybe even stashing more wildfire beneath it to make sure it's a huge explosion?).
I always knew the Hightower was a big blunt waiting to get lit.😎 Jokes aside though, you blew my mind with this video. The parallels between Aerion and Euron are interesting. I've never thought about it before, but from the top of my head, I think they are the only two males mentioned in all of the books and novellas that molests their little brother(s).
Yeah probably not especially with the whole red wedding euron could be Westeros karma for allowing such an act like the madien made of light turned her back on the world and the loin of night punished humanity for the evil they did
The spirit of the Night's King/Azor Ahai is probably even guiding Euron to perform this ritual through dreams or the visions he gets from Shade of the Evening. In the same way Bloodraven and Quaithe guide Bran and Dany respectively. It's also similar to the way Cthulhu would call to his followers through dreams in H P Lovecraft. I hope there'll be still more videos about this subject. My mind is still reeling with questions.
@TheDisputedLands Hey love! Great update! The parallel of Aerion and Euron is so glaring that I can't believe I never noticed it. Can't wait for the next one! Let's link up for an ep when HoTD comes back.
look i know this isn't the point at all but every time it comes up i feel the need to let everyone know that the library of alexandria might not have been burned (partially or completely) and there's a slight chance that it may not have existed at all. this adds nothing to the video but i physically can't stop myself from saying it 😭😭
Since this video mentions them and you spoke of them on your twitter, I don't think glass candles see the future (or very far into it if they do). From my understanding, they let you communicate across long distances and maybe even see through them. Think like a basin that would be in other fantasy novels.
Yeah, its never been completely clear imho... with Marwyn knowing of his coming and everything at the wall he would have to be locked into that thing all the time if it only relayed in real time things in the present. there are still a number who thought the same as i did and felt it was a good question to ask.
@@TheDisputedLandsgoing with the theory that all magic is manipulation of the soul then glass candles allow for astral projection. You can project your soul outside your body to a distant place to view it or speak with another person. It would explain why Daenerys sees Quaith (presumably using a glass candle) in her dreams as her third eye is more open while she sleeps and Quaith can actually contact her. If Daenerys had her own glass candle (and could figureoutvhow tobuse it), then they could probably 'talk' while they were both awake. GRRM was clearly inspired by Tolkien's Palanirí.
I'm STILL salty that the show ruined Euron's character. There wasn't even a semblance of his book counterpart. It's like the show didn't even bother trying
Tbf I don't even think Martin knows what the hell to do with Euron at this point so they just didn't try. Like what even happens once this dude ascends to some borderline demon God status? That's yet another threat the continent has to deal with within 2 books lol
@@Illier1 i don't think It's that difficult to put Euron together with the other pieces, he left many loose threads with the prophecies and dreams. One way is having Euron claiming more proof than everyone that he is Azor Ahai/Last Hero reborn and prove that he is the only one who can keep the Others at bay by breaking the spells at the Wall, but he will only fight them if he is revered as a god emperor by the westerosi. Just out of my head, the problem is if this messes with other characters arcs or the way the Wall may come down. If he is a fraud, then going a route simillar but better than the show with him seducing Cersei or playing the Golden company after Aegon dies idk, just being a pebble on Daenerys shoes and what not.

One of the most interesting and menacing characters in the series imo, relegated to to making finger in the bum comments in the show 😭. I think Euron will be destroyed by whatever he conjures from the deep, if he does succeed
@@TheDisputedLands its ironic that the grey rats and Hightower’s tried so hard to destroy magic and the dragon yet a targ with dragons live the others are on the way and a pirate is bringing a lovecraft apocalypse at their door step 😂 all that work propaganda changing history all for this
Grrm says he doesn’t like dark lords so do you guys think euron gonna turn out be neutral I feel the death of his brother who had grayscale was more mercy then him being evil
Another Aerion/Euron comparison: they were both intentionally provocative. Aerion named his son Maegor and Euron goes above and beyond to embrace the taboo. There’s even a case to be made that pre-ASoS Jamie meets this criteria.
Part of me wonders if this goes back to the library in winterfell burning the day the assassin came for bran. At least in symbolism. I know we are pretty much confirmed the cats paw was sent by joff at this point. But the library burning always bothered me when the starks had what was probably one of the last remaining fragments of unnatural history. But Tyrion took it with him to the wall. He said he was reading about dragons to Jon. Seems convenient is all.
What if it entails waking the dragon from stone = gathering together the stone men (w dragon scale or greyscale) from Valyria? Could this make some sort of sense? Euron is a sailor whose sailed the world… His other sailors have their tongues removed so they cannot talk either which makes it seem like they may know something or have seen something along their travels…
I definitely believe the original Azor Ahai was afflicted by greyscale, I think Euron's scale armor is a nod to this and Argoth Stone Skin was likely a variation in the Azor Ahai story. I have a video touching on it in my ironborn series. Im hoping to merge the concepts in a video discussing roaring giants after the hightower video.😊
Hmmm - perhaps using that horn in Old Towne to "awaken giants" will mess with the resonance of the cosmology to call down a meteor shower somehow... IDK - there are just so many elements... so many details. This could go SO many ways - and wonder if I am hoping in vain for GRRM to publish the next books in the series. I think THAT is the most frustrating thing at the moment....
@@TheDisputedLands I just started reading about it and thought of you and LmL :p I love that GoT makes us learn about real history and folklore. Missed your videos btw!
Drinking the sun, if the sun is fire then drinking the wild fire is drinking the sun, so does that mean the sword is also made with wildfire as it also drinks the sun let’s hope it doesn’t actually mean son that’s a whole different thing
What if Euron's ritual dooms Iron Islands instead of Oldtown? Could Damon II also has dreams of turning into a dragon/hatching dragons because during his time in Westeros, his supporters try to steal dragon eggs because of the dreams he had 🤔
If the iron islands are on the sale fault lines as oldtown or are volcanic i could definitely see that happening. We could be on the verge of the hammer of the waters 2.0
@@TheDisputedLands I think Leyton (whose name is derived from "latent" which means hidden from plain view) has been grooming Euron through his dreams since he was a child. Id be willing to bet he has a glass candle. I think Euron had the same falling dream Bran had but it was engineered by Leyton not Bloodraven. Euron is Leyton's champion of darkness.
Other people have guessed that Euron drinks wildfire, blows the horn, and jumps from the Hightower as it collapses. But here's a thought that just came into my head: This has to mirror Bran's coma dream, which means at the end, Euron has to fly somehow... So what if one of Dany's dragons (Viserion) catches him before he hits the ground? The dragon can have been summoned in a previous chapter and spend a few hours/days flying to Oldtown, seemingly coming out of nowhere. What an awesome scene that would be.
I'm deep into theories surrounding chromodynamics now. Red, Blue and Green coming together to create white. But if Dany is Red, and Jon is Green, then who is Blue?
@@eric2500 Maybe we need to step it up. Account for subtractive as well as additive. Red = Daenerys Targaryen Green = Brandon Stark Blue = Jon Snow-Targaryen Cyan = Yellow = Magenta =
I would suggest looking at the magical trees in grrm's world as far as the color themes work. If you are interested I have a video on the oily black stone and another on the green men of the gods eye that touch on these color themes in relation to the magical trees in grrm's world.
Do you think that there is also something holy underneath the tower. Just because it is on a place called battle isle which people have forgotten the actual battle. Could there be fallen magical items that could be used in war like horns and dragons under the high tower.
I recommend watching part II for the explanation of the battle that took place and my mazemaker video on a deeper dive on the topic of the purpose and origin of the maze at the base of the hightower. Basically the battle that took place that gave the island its name was most likely the battle that brought the OG Azor Ahai down. And his spirit is most likely trapped within the base.
Hey...how's this: everything happens just as you said, but from burning Hightower tower comes a real dragon (assuming it's hidden beneath the fused stone fortress or somewhere). Euron has a dragon horn and then he can control it. So in a way it'll be GoT season 8, where Dany and Jon fight the Night King (Euron) who also has his own dragon now. O.o On a sadder note, if that makes sense then Arya will kill Euron? -.-
I think he’s the Three Eyed Crow. He will leap off the tower, as he is critically wounded, to « fly ». He will have appeared to have died, but we’ll later realize that his mind traveled back in time, and he eventually became the Three Eyed Crow. He is now luring Bran to take over his body and become king.
It's not really difficult to make fire green, you just need to add some copper. The maesters would no doubt be aware of this, so I think it's a stretch to say the green fire has to be wildfire. Wildfire would be an utterly unhinged way to make the flame green when safer and easier options are readily available
The "baleful green" description is used twice to describe the wildfire during the battle of the blackwater. Also, the Alchemist guid who makes the substance is centralized in Oltown The faceless man posing as pate refers to himself as "The Alchemist" and one of the only Lovecraft stories to have reference to a rusted iron hinge opening a door is a short story called "The Alchemist" about a long dead sorcerer who didn't really die and found the secret to live forever. I'll probably do a video about it eventually.
The ritual Euron is doing is probably the same one that the Valyrians used to become dragonriders in the first place. It really highlights how depraved they Valyrians were, if they built an entire civilisation based around that barbaric ritual.
Honestly I think the Valyrians were just tools to breed dragons at first and they just kinda had the powers fall into their laps. What Euron is doing is unlike anything in history so far. We have no idea what this is going to result in.
Always thought Aeron Greyjoy will die during the attack on Oldtown, and Sam will replace him . Showing us Eurons story “"What the kraken grasps it does not lose, be it longship or leviathan."” Sam be compared to a whale in Oldtown and now wearing grey robes. Potentially Ser piggy could be squealing like a rusty hinge ! Any thoughts?
I don't see Sam dying in the Oldtown attack, but I think there are hints he will make it out. I seem to remember a passage where he thinks about sending gilley to horn hill if things go bad. Maybe its more wishful thinking of Sam making it out unscathed.

Thank you sir!
Another great video Amanda!
This is a great line of symbolism you’ve picked up on.
I’ve thought of some other parallels while watching and thought they might be of interest to you:
- The Titan of Braavos has green hair and firey red eyes, giving us green at the top of this “Tower” who is a giant said to wake
- The burning of the Tower of the Hand with wildfire gives us a symbolic burning green hand at the red keep, which reminds me of the order of the green hand and their association with the burning trees with red hands, the weirwoods, who are described as giants several times
- When Luwin takes Bran down to the crypts we see Shaggydog presented as a great beast waking beneath a tower (The First Keep) in the winterfell crypts, and is described as having eyes like green fire - “He thrust his arm into the blackness inside the tomb, as into the mouth of some great beast. "Do you see? It's quite empt-" The darkness sprang at him, snarling. Bran saw eyes like green fire, a flash of teeth, fur as black as the pit around them.”
- The supposed Horn of Winter the Melisandre burns at the Wall is said to burn with green fire
- Greenseers have harnessed the fire of the gods to use the firey weriwoods for their Greensight, could the power of the Greenseers be seen as symbolic Green Fire?
- And we are presented with a symbolic giant beast waking at the battle of the blackwater that sounds like a dragon breathing Green fire - “And then some vast beast had let out a roar, and green flames were all around them: wildfire, pyromancer's piss, the jade demon.”
I really think you’re on to something here!
Keep up the amazing work!
Eldric, wow, yes. Im wanting to do a video with a closer look at the titan, specifically the "roaring" which i think is a stand in for horn blowing. I touch on it a bit in my broken swords video with the old man of the river, but its definitely a thing. And the green angel tower of MS&T is called that because of a green bronze angel on the top of the tower which is similar to the broze harpy at the top of the pyramid. I was really enjoying one of your videos the other day that was taking a closer look at horns and the hammer of the waters. Thanks so much for watching and becoming a member, I really appreciate it ❤. - CFD
@@TheDisputedLands More than happy to become a member!
I’d say your Ironborn series is some of the best content out there and wanted to show my appreciation and say thankyou for everything you do!
And you inspired me to start my own channel and I can’t describe how happy I am you’ve watched one of my videos!
Not sure if this helps with your roaring giant research but I’ve come across this same line of symbolism as well while investigating the stone kings of winter
Because interestingly all the roaring giants we see through the series are presented as either literally or symbolically being made of stone, just like the Kings of Winter:
- The Titan of Braavos is a giant made of stone who roars and comes to life (with the roaring sound presumably made by horns within the titan?)
- The Old Man of the River is a giant with a hard exterior who roars like a warhorn
- Wun Wun is a symbolic stone giant when he is described as “a boulder coming to life” who also roars as he wakes
- Gregor Clegane is a giant made of stone who is described as roaring like some animal
- Hodor is a giant who parallels a stone king of winter while beyond the wall with his one eye frozen shut, beard of ice and rusted red sword from the crypts, and is described as roaring as he rises after Bran skin changes him to fight the wights
And additionally while not stone the Umbers sigil is described a roaring giant in shattered chains, a sigil we see present on the childrens tower at Moat Cailin where the hammer of the waters was called down and giants woke in the earth
Amazing video once again Amanda!
@@eldric.stoneskin you've got it! Roar or bellow=horn blow.
I love how often Euron is fancast as Mads Mikkelsen. He doesn't have the colours but he has the right vibe for sure. And if Charles Dance managed to be the best Vetinari so far while blond, that wouldn't be an issue here either.
I really like him as an actor...but despite Theon and Euron favoring each other, they don't have that dark, greasy look that the Greyjoys seem to be depicted as having, in the books. Even Asha/Yara is much lighter in show than depicted in books.
Yeah, they are all supposed to have black hair. I just kinda picture the family like a viking metal band. @@79klkw
Made Mikkelsen had such an odd sort of aspect to him. A bit like Christopher Walken. Not like I'd know, but apparently they're supposed to both be really nice and kind of goofy. They both always seem to have an underlying threatening feel to them.
It's so strange that Christopher Walken got pigeonholed into villain roles. I've first seen him in The Deer Hunter where he's still young and sweet (and delivers a very intense performance). The same thing kinda happened to Terence Stamp. The man started out being a very cute and innocent Billy Budd and became a go-to villain later. @@thegreenmanofnorwich
Watching Euron, what many Targaryens had in mind, and how Dany actually hatched the eggs, I am so sure that Stannis is gonna burn Shireen for that reason exactly and I am sad. And I wouldn't find it weird if Selyse is also in the sacrifice along with Patch who is a direct parallel to Aeron if not even himself as well.
Great Video, so glad you will be uploading more often!!!
I could see that scenario happening, but not at Stannis' command. Melissandre would order it in Stannis' name while he's away at battle.
Didn't think of Selyse being brought into the pyre, but it makes sense. Good thought.
@@AKWatchX The Sacrifice must be important to Stannis though. He was already very down on sacrificing Edric, I can easily see him agreeing sadly. After all, he was the one who said:
"I never asked for this crown. Gold is cold and heavy on the head, but so long as I am the king, I have a duty . . . If I must sacrifice one child to the flames to save a million from the dark . . . Sacrifice . . . is never easy, Davos. Or it is no true sacrifice. Tell him, my lady."
Melisandre said, "Azor Ahai tempered Lightbringer with the heart's blood of his own beloved wife. If a man with a thousand cows gives one to god, that is nothing. But a man who offers the only cow he owns . . ."
Even if it is Mel's idea, he will agree and he is gonna be as guilty as her.
@@CompanyOfTheCat Sacrificing Edric would be easy for him though; we know how he was conceived lol. Stannis lises nothing burning him. That said though, I'm not saying he doesn't have it in him or that he'd be innocent, just that he wouldn't make that order.
"Pray harder."
Is also a quote from him in reply to being asked to sacrifice some unfaithful to get rid of the storm. You totes may be right though among many other things, I'm very interested to see whether Melisandre would even try to seek his permission. She's desperate and trying to force her interpretation of this prophecy. Fingers crossed Grrm doesn't leave us in suspense much longer.
@@AKWatchX He has to agree otherwise the sacrifice doesn't really count though. He didn't care for Edric, thus the sacrifice would be useless (If a man with a hundred cows gives one to god is nothing...). If they indeed want to for the sacrifice to count they need something that Stannis cares about and he has to be the one who will give it, not Mel.
Plus, George has said that Stannis will sacrifice her, which is one of the three series things that are confirmed for winds.
I'm excited to be covering this topic, and its like once I do one I have another one to piggyback from with not enough time to do. I need to cath up on your stuff because I've seen the thumbnail for your patchface video and have been meaning to watch it! But mel will definitely need more sacrifices and the thought of what she is willing to do is terrifying.
Wow, George R.R. Martin is a true genius for coming up with all of this. Amanda your ability to hunt down clues and piece it all together for us is incredibly impressive, you're a true literature detective!
awe, thank you so much!
Im so amazed at the connections you guys make. i never even noticed the line about the high tower fire turning green. i probably read right over it.
Such a great video. Very nice compilation of ideas and evidence. I've got a few things to add:
-In memory sorrow and thorn, the heroes bring the three sword together at Green Angle tower. They think this will allow them to defeat Ineluki, but this is a mistake and is a condition for his resurrection. Kind of like Sam bringing the horn to Oldtown if it allows Euron to undergo his transformation.
-I think the series of events could look like this: Euron drinking wildfire, blowing the horn, and then jumping from the Hightower as it collapses with or onto his sacrifices in a fiery inferno. It would be such a rad terrible scene, which really motivates George.
-In the house of the Undying, Dany is given three visions and then told she will be the slayer of lies. The first scene is Stannis (blue-eyed king, no shadow), the third is fAegon (cloth dragon on poles, cheering crowd), and the third seems to be Euron: from a smoking tower, a great stone beast took wing, breathing shadow fire. Thus, Euron will become a dragon of sorts and Dany will slay him after slaying Stannis and fAegon.
...or at least that was the plan in 1998. Now who knows.
This is me leaving a comment because, as always, these videos have beautiful insight.
Thank you so much!
How mad is everyone gonna be if Euron walks into the flame and...just....dies.
🤣
He's gonna be Mind Graped by some looming great other or the dual side of R'hllor's fire as clensing and destructive???
Hate to break it to you but R’hllor only has the one nature - that of being a dick
Mega Epic! GRRM loves playing with the idea that "What goes up, must come down." be it with the "High" tower, the Wall, or even a character, like Euron. "Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a Fall." Proverb 16:18. We also can't forget that all of this would be occurring at "Battle Isle", as well. If that's not a hint, I don't know what is. Cheers!
P.S. Congratulations on "going pro" as a content creator! \m/
Not pro, just trying to be more consistent and hold myself accountable. Thanks for watching Karl!
The Colossus of Rhodes is an obvious inspiration for the Titan of Bravos and was also 1 of the 7 wonders of the ancient world (along with the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which you mention in this video). The Colossus also fell to earthquakes as well, if historical accounts are to be believed.
Very true! Excellent point!
@@TheDisputedLandsStephen king dark tower euron is Randal flag who is an avatar of Lovecraft the haunter of the dark who seeks godhood at the top of the tower
This tower sacrifice "pattern" is definitely a thing. This may or may not make a deal sense, as I've been focused of a couple other patterns.
Short version, there are roughly 5 parallel and over lapping patterns. They express in different ways. This tower pattern as you noted has a mirror in the Titan. It also reflects in the pyramid of Meereen. Few note the significance of the dragon that burnned the prince. It was Rhaegal. As each dragon's flame is also reflected in the colour of their flame, Quentyn died in a ball of "green" flame. This prince burned by green was taken to the top of the pyramid. A tall tower with a green burned sun at the top of it.
The crofter's tower isn't significantly tall. What Stannis has is traitorous Karstarks. Karstarks have a sunburst as their sigil. Hold one at the top of the tower and somehow he dies with a green symbolism and you have a green fire atop a tower. Stannis is torn between burning Theon or beheading him.
All of the potential AA figures contain the elements of a figurative or a literal green fire atop a tower.
I believe the preview to this event is contained in Cersei burning the Tower of the Hand. With all its secret passages it fits as a tower/labyrinth and green flame.
This was a bit incoherent and I apologize for that. I'm in no way attempting to take away or arguing against what you're saying. I'm saying that good or bad all of the AA narratives will be built on the bones of the same basic template fleshed out in figurative or literal ways. And all 5 can be found by this pattern. Understanding one tells you something about the other 4. Like having 5 pieces of single picture.
One way to find them is by their hanging figure. Usually a death/old figure over a younger broken one. BR over Bran, Selmy over Quentyn, Stoneheart over Brienne, Stannis over Theon, Euron over Aeron.
What is a Bloodstone? It's red and green. Turning a red flame into green, or mixing the two is a clear bloodstone symbol. Thoros is a red priest but he uses wildfire on his sword, red/green. His swords burned by wildfire also double as a mirror to the burned sword Stannis has. A false Lightbringer. The patterns are deep, but I lack a sounding board so organizing these thoughts is a challengez sorry again.
I love this so much im pinning it, I think you hit the nail on the head here, especially in merreen where Quentin also awakens a dragon sleeping inside the stone walls, really beautiful parallel.
Bloodstone/Garth 💯
Through your theory I realize how important transformation is in proper enlighten situations. 4 good & bad shadow & light.
@edwardmartin5860
Garth Green Hand? What Red symbolism does he have?
Wait, Thoros uses wildfire on his sword?
Company of the Cat has a nice one out recently which proposes that Aerion and Arys were dreaming of Dany, (who successfully hatched eggs) but as no one thought the PTWP could be a princess, they thought of themselves.
Yes, its an older theory. I mentioned Joe Magician and Robert from Indeepgeek also have videos on the topic, I think everyone's analysis is great, but the problem is, is that these creators might not realize that Euron is doing exactly this, he is literally making a metaphorical dragon transformation and the hightower is where it is happening and at the spot where this transformation is to occur, the beacon is going to be lit by wildfire. So in addition to all the other dreamers being sent dreams of Euron, Aerys and Aerion are simply among those many others which is why Aerion is given so many parallels to Euron's character, GRRM is inviting us to compare the two.
More amazing work as always! I'm a big believer in this, I'm guessing you've heard of the youtuber Glidus, he did an amazing 2 video series on the topic of how exactly Dany gave birth to her dragons and it feels like that synchs nicely with your theory about Euron. Also, Euron's quote about leaping off 'some tall tower' is a more natural way of saying 'leap off Hightower', a little on the nose but then George can be that way with his big locations i.e Winterfell. Oldtown is definitely looking like ground zero for something awful: Euron's headed there with his sacrifices, we've got wildfire, we've got the Horn of Winter (probably), we've got kings blood via Mance's baby that's with Gilly plus the Faceless Men. Best idea Marwyn ever had was getting out of Dodge.
Hey thank you so much! I haven't checked out Glidus' theory, but sounds intriguing! 100% agree, always follow what the person with the glass candle is doing, they absolutely know what's up.
You nailed it!!
This was such an amazing series of videos. What a crazyy picture you painted of Euron. I can’t wait to read what GrrM is cooking up for us 😁🤘🏼
Thank you so much!
With that oily black stone at its base. Crows eye Mordor coming.
Well done as always Amanda. Really interesting stuff , its crazy to think of the potential carnage and general result(s) Euron's insanely evil sacrifice will give rise to. Multiple types of ultra-taboo type sacrifices very much included. Multiple counts of kinslaying via fratricide (Aeron / brother) & filicide (his unborn child). Euron's unborn child could be considered king's blood as well , mother of his child being sacrificed as well. Along with so many types of sacrifices from numerous magical & religious orders (seems to have so many varied types covered there). Ntm , the sheer amount of sacrifice will be massive. Euron seems to be covering every possible evil angle with this impending bloodbath. Magical horns and wildfire in close proximity as well. Toppling towers could very well be on the menu along with Euron's evil ascension (or at the least a key step towards that). I just hope sooner rather than later all the evil darkness Euron is dabbling in ideally literally but at least figuratively blows up in his face and he is possibly overwhelmed / consumed by it in a very Lovecraftian way.

Thank you so much Andrew! Really appreciate it, and I hope Euron dies screaming as Aerion had.
The craziest thing will be seeing the wall fall from oldtown since you can see the wall from oldtown.
I'm wondering if maybe you can see the wall from oldtown in the fire, like the way melisandre sees visions in the fire. It could be that is how the saying started since its a rumor. Supposedly there are others that can see things in the flames like Alys Rivers during the dance.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Horn of Winter. It would make sense if the wall it brought down was actually the walls of Moat Cailin. Euron performing a ritual at the top of the High Tower would parallel the Hanmer of the Waters that was said to have taken place at the Children’s Tower
I'll eventually be doing a video about roaring giants that will hit on moat cailin, its definitely one of the more mysterious and magical locations in ASOIAF. Thanks so much!
Interesting how in elden ring there is a way to turn yourself into a dragon but no one succeeds and they all become ugly wyrms. I wonder if euron will succeed or become something awful and disgusting.
Definitely check out my video on the third head of the dragon!!! Thanks for watching!!!
The best doing it. Always happy for a new Disputed Lands video essay.
😃 Hey thank you Terp4Life10!!!!
I couldnt wait for this so clicked join in a shot! I loved this series Amanda. Really well done 😊
Thank you so much🤗
I am also thinking of the foreshadowing. The burning of the library of Winterfell... the burning of the Library of high-towers / library of Alexandria.
Been a fan for years, glad to see these videos just keep getting better
Glad you like them!
Remember the clues that Mellisandre and Varys are, per GRRM, very very misunderstood characters and not what they seem.
Your video's are always worth the wait! Thank you!

@@TheDisputedLands I'm enjoying it very much do far thanks. I'm at the hightower beacon snd wildfire .
Edit . Finished i did enjoy it thank you .
I just hope that the Hightowers, the Hightower itself, and Oldtown survive Euron's diabolical plans.
Would be a shame for such monoliths of Planetos to be taken down after many millennium of greatness
completely agree
Well also note the Hightower itself might be built on the ruins of something far older.
This is the way of the world. The glories of old are destroyed so they can be replaced by new wonders later on. All things will die.
@@Illier1this is more the corpse of the old reaching out to welp the new

🤗
It does seem that Euron's characters is on the cusp of some diabolical, Lovecraftian transformation. But into what? A dragon? Aeron's elixir driven vision described him as something more akin to a Kraken.
You are GOOD. Like really really good. Keep up the good work. I know your videos are worth the wait because the analysis is so brilliant.
Meanwhile, GGRM after watching this video: I'll have to rewrite the damn thing all over again...they guessed it
Let's hope not!🤣 Thanks for watching!
@@TheDisputedLands 🤪
Glorious
I'm going to be disappointed if there is not a battle of magical wills involving Euron and Lord Hightower and the Mad Maid, fueled by the ambient energy released by the sacrifices, Sam's horn being blown, and whatever comes blasting through the glass candles.
I hope the Hightowers win tbh
I feel like magical battles in this world would be decided on who is willing to lose the most to get that power.
And I find no one else in the setting willing to lose more than Euron.
A holiday gift--another great vid from Disputed Lands! Wow, never thought maybe it was Sam's horn that the Pate/faceless man might be after--to give to Euron!!! Such great food for thought, all of it. Thank you and Happy Holidays! 🌞☃🎄
Same to you as well! Thank you for watching and commenting!
As always your videos are amazing
Thank you so much 😀
I remember reading Memorry Sorrow and Thorn and never realizing I skipped To Green Angel Tower Part I (book 3 of 4) and it never made a lick of difference to the outcome. In fact, it allowed me not to read about characters I could not care about. And I remember reading the final conclusion and being utterly pissed because ... nothing mattered.
Wonder if the show having cersei blow up the great sept was a nod to this idea that Euron would blow up hightower with wildfire (maybe even stashing more wildfire beneath it to make sure it's a huge explosion?).
I was thinking the same thing!
I always knew the Hightower was a big blunt waiting to get lit.😎
Jokes aside though, you blew my mind with this video. The parallels between Aerion and Euron are interesting. I've never thought about it before, but from the top of my head, I think they are the only two males mentioned in all of the books and novellas that molests their little brother(s).
Glad you enjoyed!
Perhaps the fates will be kind, and the wildfire will turn Euron into a corpse instead. Hopefully a living corpse, though.
Yeah probably not especially with the whole red wedding euron could be Westeros karma for allowing such an act like the madien made of light turned her back on the world and the loin of night punished humanity for the evil they did
Wonderful knowledge!
❤
The earthquakes from this ritual could also bring forth the Avalanche that is expected at the Gates of The Moon in the Vale
The spirit of the Night's King/Azor Ahai is probably even guiding Euron to perform this ritual through dreams or the visions he gets from Shade of the Evening. In the same way Bloodraven and Quaithe guide Bran and Dany respectively. It's also similar to the way Cthulhu would call to his followers through dreams in H P Lovecraft.
I hope there'll be still more videos about this subject. My mind is still reeling with questions.
I do believe the same... I've got two videos regarding the hightowers and then we will be returning to the horn of winter as far as video topics go.
Fantastic examination!
Many thanks!😀
Another great video!

@TheDisputedLands Hey love! Great update! The parallel of Aerion and Euron is so glaring that I can't believe I never noticed it. Can't wait for the next one!
Let's link up for an ep when HoTD comes back.
look i know this isn't the point at all but every time it comes up i feel the need to let everyone know that the library of alexandria might not have been burned (partially or completely) and there's a slight chance that it may not have existed at all. this adds nothing to the video but i physically can't stop myself from saying it 😭😭

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching Ethan!
It's definitely possible we've never seen the real Varys - even his standard KL appearance may be some form of glamour or costume.
very true!
Since this video mentions them and you spoke of them on your twitter, I don't think glass candles see the future (or very far into it if they do). From my understanding, they let you communicate across long distances and maybe even see through them. Think like a basin that would be in other fantasy novels.
Yeah, its never been completely clear imho... with Marwyn knowing of his coming and everything at the wall he would have to be locked into that thing all the time if it only relayed in real time things in the present. there are still a number who thought the same as i did and felt it was a good question to ask.
@@TheDisputedLands I thought about that too while watching. Maybe Marwyn locked into it like how we be on social media 😂 just people watching all day
@@TheDisputedLandsgoing with the theory that all magic is manipulation of the soul then glass candles allow for astral projection. You can project your soul outside your body to a distant place to view it or speak with another person. It would explain why Daenerys sees Quaith (presumably using a glass candle) in her dreams as her third eye is more open while she sleeps and Quaith can actually contact her. If Daenerys had her own glass candle (and could figureoutvhow tobuse it), then they could probably 'talk' while they were both awake.
GRRM was clearly inspired by Tolkien's Palanirí.
I'm STILL salty that the show ruined Euron's character. There wasn't even a semblance of his book counterpart. It's like the show didn't even bother trying
The show was corny and afraid magic would turn off the soap opera viewers
Im with you on that point for sure!
Tbf I don't even think Martin knows what the hell to do with Euron at this point so they just didn't try.
Like what even happens once this dude ascends to some borderline demon God status? That's yet another threat the continent has to deal with within 2 books lol
@@Illier1 i don't think It's that difficult to put Euron together with the other pieces, he left many loose threads with the prophecies and dreams. One way is having Euron claiming more proof than everyone that he is Azor Ahai/Last Hero reborn and prove that he is the only one who can keep the Others at bay by breaking the spells at the Wall, but he will only fight them if he is revered as a god emperor by the westerosi. Just out of my head, the problem is if this messes with other characters arcs or the way the Wall may come down. If he is a fraud, then going a route simillar but better than the show with him seducing Cersei or playing the Golden company after Aegon dies idk, just being a pebble on Daenerys shoes and what not.

Another Aerion/Euron comparison: they were both intentionally provocative. Aerion named his son Maegor and Euron goes above and beyond to embrace the taboo. There’s even a case to be made that pre-ASoS Jamie meets this criteria.
Love your analysis and visualization! If you don't mind, one very small note..."cache" and "cachet" are different words.
So with the tower coming down, I wonder if the Citadel, like it real counterpart, the Library of Alexandra, will burn down.
I've got my money on it.
Part of me wonders if this goes back to the library in winterfell burning the day the assassin came for bran. At least in symbolism. I know we are pretty much confirmed the cats paw was sent by joff at this point. But the library burning always bothered me when the starks had what was probably one of the last remaining fragments of unnatural history. But Tyrion took it with him to the wall. He said he was reading about dragons to Jon. Seems convenient is all.
His smiling eye😏
Cant wait for the book
Me too!!! Thanks for watching!!!
@@TheDisputedLands ofc love ur videos rewatch them all the time!!!!
❤❤❤
What if it entails waking the dragon from stone = gathering together the stone men (w dragon scale or greyscale) from Valyria? Could this make some sort of sense? Euron is a sailor whose sailed the world… His other sailors have their tongues removed so they cannot talk either which makes it seem like they may know something or have seen something along their travels…
I definitely believe the original Azor Ahai was afflicted by greyscale, I think Euron's scale armor is a nod to this and Argoth Stone Skin was likely a variation in the Azor Ahai story. I have a video touching on it in my ironborn series. Im hoping to merge the concepts in a video discussing roaring giants after the hightower video.😊
Hmmm - perhaps using that horn in Old Towne to "awaken giants" will mess with the resonance of the cosmology to call down a meteor shower somehow... IDK - there are just so many elements... so many details. This could go SO many ways - and wonder if I am hoping in vain for GRRM to publish the next books in the series. I think THAT is the most frustrating thing at the moment....

Hey, have you ever heard of Beira, Queen of winter. Scottish folklore
Just took that one in when I read the comment. Glorious.

Missed your videos btw!
Drinking the sun, if the sun is fire then drinking the wild fire is drinking the sun, so does that mean the sword is also made with wildfire as it also drinks the sun let’s hope it doesn’t actually mean son that’s a whole different thing
Part 3? Let just re-read all 13k pages of GRRMs work so I can get every little detail!!
Do the Hightowers currently hold a Dragon egg? Maybe there will be a literal dragon born from the flames and the sacrifice.. like danys dragons
That would be a hilarious plot twist. Then he has the Horn to possibly control it.
Daemon Targaryen had gifted a dragon's egg to Leyton Hightower's daughter. So yes, there is a dragon's egg in Old Town and the mad maid has it.
But if that Hightower egg hatches, it will be a baby dragon, nothing able to be ridden or to fight Dany's Dragons.
What if Euron's ritual dooms Iron Islands instead of Oldtown? Could Damon II also has dreams of turning into a dragon/hatching dragons because during his time in Westeros, his supporters try to steal dragon eggs because of the dreams he had 🤔
If the iron islands are on the sale fault lines as oldtown or are volcanic i could definitely see that happening. We could be on the verge of the hammer of the waters 2.0
Well he needs a big sacrifice and...let's be honest here, the Iron Islands aren't exactly a big loss.

Plot twist: Euron and Leyton join forces.
He's up to something, can't wait to discuss it!
@@TheDisputedLands I think Leyton (whose name is derived from "latent" which means hidden from plain view) has been grooming Euron through his dreams since he was a child. Id be willing to bet he has a glass candle. I think Euron had the same falling dream Bran had but it was engineered by Leyton not Bloodraven. Euron is Leyton's champion of darkness.
Other people have guessed that Euron drinks wildfire, blows the horn, and jumps from the Hightower as it collapses. But here's a thought that just came into my head: This has to mirror Bran's coma dream, which means at the end, Euron has to fly somehow... So what if one of Dany's dragons (Viserion) catches him before he hits the ground? The dragon can have been summoned in a previous chapter and spend a few hours/days flying to Oldtown, seemingly coming out of nowhere. What an awesome scene that would be.
That's terrific!!!
I'm deep into theories surrounding chromodynamics now. Red, Blue and Green coming together to create white. But if Dany is Red, and Jon is Green, then who is Blue?
Jon is blue (ice) BRAN is green ( greenseeing, earth)
@@eric2500 Maybe we need to step it up. Account for subtractive as well as additive.
Red = Daenerys Targaryen
Green = Brandon Stark
Blue = Jon Snow-Targaryen
Cyan =
Yellow =
Magenta =
I would suggest looking at the magical trees in grrm's world as far as the color themes work. If you are interested I have a video on the oily black stone and another on the green men of the gods eye that touch on these color themes in relation to the magical trees in grrm's world.

All the gemstone Emperors... would be interesting if they all had dragonlord blood connections to the GEotD

I thought it was the Gemstone Emperors of the Great Empire of the Dawn that these colors are mostly based off of
Do you think that there is also something holy underneath the tower. Just because it is on a place called battle isle which people have forgotten the actual battle. Could there be fallen magical items that could be used in war like horns and dragons under the high tower.
I recommend watching part II for the explanation of the battle that took place and my mazemaker video on a deeper dive on the topic of the purpose and origin of the maze at the base of the hightower. Basically the battle that took place that gave the island its name was most likely the battle that brought the OG Azor Ahai down. And his spirit is most likely trapped within the base.
Yes, a tomb! Like Qin Shi Huang's.
Hey...how's this: everything happens just as you said, but from burning Hightower tower comes a real dragon (assuming it's hidden beneath the fused stone fortress or somewhere).
Euron has a dragon horn and then he can control it. So in a way it'll be GoT season 8, where Dany and Jon fight the Night King (Euron) who also has his own dragon now.
O.o
On a sadder note, if that makes sense then Arya will kill Euron?
-.-
That would also be very cool!
We'll have to wait 😅
Dragons aren't exactly known to be handling captivity well. I'd wonder how a dragon trapped under the rock for thousands of years would end up.
I think he’s the Three Eyed Crow. He will leap off the tower, as he is critically wounded, to « fly ». He will have appeared to have died, but we’ll later realize that his mind traveled back in time, and he eventually became the Three Eyed Crow. He is now luring Bran to take over his body and become king.
Are a bunch of videos gone? Are they somewhere else now?
I don't think so? I have around 30 yids maybe.
@@TheDisputedLands They're so epic I was SURE there was more ❤️🩹

It's not really difficult to make fire green, you just need to add some copper. The maesters would no doubt be aware of this, so I think it's a stretch to say the green fire has to be wildfire. Wildfire would be an utterly unhinged way to make the flame green when safer and easier options are readily available
The "baleful green" description is used twice to describe the wildfire during the battle of the blackwater. Also, the Alchemist guid who makes the substance is centralized in Oltown The faceless man posing as pate refers to himself as "The Alchemist" and one of the only Lovecraft stories to have reference to a rusted iron hinge opening a door is a short story called "The Alchemist" about a long dead sorcerer who didn't really die and found the secret to live forever. I'll probably do a video about it eventually.
At the same time though it's exactly the kind of nutty shit I'd expect from Martin's characters.
The ritual Euron is doing is probably the same one that the Valyrians used to become dragonriders in the first place. It really highlights how depraved they Valyrians were, if they built an entire civilisation based around that barbaric ritual.
That’s what I’ve always thought. They were literally the worst kind of people imaginable.
Yet by their own accounts they're _"closer to gods than men"_
Honestly I think the Valyrians were just tools to breed dragons at first and they just kinda had the powers fall into their laps.
What Euron is doing is unlike anything in history so far. We have no idea what this is going to result in.
Always thought Aeron Greyjoy will die during the attack on Oldtown, and Sam will replace him . Showing us Eurons story “"What the kraken grasps it does not lose, be it longship or leviathan."”
Sam be compared to a whale in Oldtown and now wearing grey robes.
Potentially Ser piggy could be squealing like a rusty hinge !
Any thoughts?
I don't see Sam dying in the Oldtown attack, but I think there are hints he will make it out. I seem to remember a passage where he thinks about sending gilley to horn hill if things go bad. Maybe its more wishful thinking of Sam making it out unscathed.
