Game of Thrones, Tyrion II

The wine was a rare sweet amber from the Summer Isles that he had brought all the way north from Casterly Rock, and the book a rumination on the history and properties of dragons.

Tyrion curled up in his fur with his back against the trunk, took a sip of the wine, and began to read about the properties of dragonbone.

Dragonbone is black because of its high iron content, the book told him. It is strong as steel, yet lighter and far more flexible, and of course utterly impervious to fire. Dragonbone bows are greatly prized by the Dothraki, and small wonder. An archer so armed can outrange any wooden bow.

so i think solas's lyrium dagger is the same "blade that would end the war" from merrill's fen'harel story in da2 btw

and sam winchester voice get this. we know the dagger was extracted from da2's red lyrium idol right. and likely purified during the ritual discussed in tevinter nights. which is interesting because "a glowing blue blade that has the capacity to resist or possibly even cure the blight"?? sounded incredibly familiar to me :) so with that i would like to also point out the similarities btwn solas's dagger and the sword maric theirin found in the deep roads from david gaider's 2009 tie-in novel the calling. lol

also worth noting that he and fiona banged shortly after he found this sword, and later, after the birth of alistair, she found out she had been effectively cured of the taint and had somehow reversed the calling. the only grey warden ever recorded to have done so.

Sorry for liking the crafting in Inquisition. As if it's my fault.

A Game of Thrones, Tyrion II

Tyrion had a morbid fascination with dragons.

When he had first come to King’s Landing for his sister’s wedding to Robert Baratheon, he had made it a point to seek out the dragon skulls that had hung on the walls of Targaryen’s throne room.

King Robert had replaced them with banners and tapestries, but Tyrion had persisted until he found the skulls in the dank cellar where they had been stored.

He had expected to find them impressive, perhaps even frightening. He had not thought to find them beautiful. Yet they were.

As black as onyx, polished smooth, so the bone seemed to shimmer in the light of his torch. They liked the fire, he sensed.

He’d thrust the torch into the mouth of one of the larger skulls and made the shadows leap and dance on the wall behind him.

The teeth were long, curving knives of black diamond.

The flame of the torch was nothing to them; they had bathed in the heat of far greater fires.

When he had moved away, Tyrion could have sworn that the beast’s empty eye sockets had watched him go.

“Books are a form of magic—” the doctor lifted the volume he had just laid on the stack, “—because they span time and distance more surely than any spell or charm.” ― Tad Williams, The Dragonbone Chair.

I always think I'm prepared for just how bloody gold Arthur looks in certain circumstances but good lord.

I have 170 pages left in The Dragonebone Chair 🙌🏻 I believe GRRM said he got some inspo from this series for ASoIaF, so it's no wonder certain characters remind me of those in Westeros and Essos. Thoughts on major characters/POVs so far:

Simon: I actually really like him. I've seen a lot of people complain about him online, and I can understand why, but for some reason, I relate to him here and there. Mostly I relate to his mood swings.

Binabik: I would marry this man in a heartbeat. Hear me out. He'd take care of me, he'd be an incredible dad, he's funny and cute, feisty, a fighter, extremely intelligent, and he's very resourceful. And he loves animals. Binabik is a ray of sunshine.

Josua: he's basically a slightly positive Stannis. I call him Jannis.

Morgenes: I miss him.

Miriamele: she's cute! And a tough little cookie. <3

Maegwin: No opinion yet. I think I like her, though. Listen, female characters are really lacking so far, though it's not surprising.

Vorzheva: Daddy issues?? Idk. If I ever spotted her in person, I'd turn around and walk in the opposite direction. I'm sure she has her reasons for being the way she is, but holy crap, I could live without her. It's giving a weird Cersei/Melisandre mix.

Isgrimnur: passionate, loud, brave, honest. Beard. What's not to love?

Geloë: Queen. I love her, and if she ever scolded or berated me, I'd thank her. When do we get to meet her again??

Jarnauga: I'm intrigued. The male Melisandre, but without a beauty glammer. They should meet.

Eolair: I can see why Maegwin has the hots for him. I do too.

Qantaqa: the goodest girl ever!!
