Chapter One - The Prophet - A Feast for Crows | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)
Manage episode 401903352 series 2615231
Aeron “Damphair” Greyjoy, learns of his eldest brother Balon’s death and their brother Euron’s claiming the Sea Stone Chair. He is not happy with that outcome and calls for a kingsmoot to decide the next king. Simon and Mackelly consider the options.
Chapter Review:
Aeron Greyjoy is drowning men in the sea (to bring them back with the kiss of life) when news arrives that his brother King Balon is dead. Aeron doesn’t break down or anything, but he recalls Balon with awe and reverence for his returning the Iron Islands to its traditional god (the Drowned God) and practices (they really don’t sow).
At Hammerhorn (Lord Goodbrother’s seat) Aeron learns further that his eldest remaining brother Euron has returned to Pike. He was banished for life by Balon, but has conveniently arrived back the day after the king’s death. Goodbrother wants to know if Euron’s claim should be supported, but the prophet needs time to pray on this one.
Aeron had spoken with Balon recently, and knows that Balon thought Asha should succeed him - and she too has claimed the throne. But Aeron is skeptical that the Iron Islanders would accept a queen. Theon is believed dead and Aeron despises Euron - he won’t have someone so unrighteous on the throne. He doesn’t want the honor for himself, so that leaves only Victarion, Aeron’s older, but Euron’s younger, brother.
While praying, he's struck by inspiration: in the old days kings were chosen not by hereditary. He calls for a kingsmoot on Nagga’s Hill on Old Wyk. All claimants and captains should go there to choose their next ruler.
