What If Khal Drogo Lived? (Game Of Thrones) 

What if George Martin completed Winds of Winter?

How about you just have Jorah use some boiled wine and a simple Westeros poultice on him instead of blood magic? Then, I don't think Barristan joins her, without Dragons, so I don't see Jorah being discovered. I don't believe Varys/Illyios spread their resources. I think Varys probably convinces Selmy that Jaime killed the mad king before Rhagar died on the Trident. Meaning he was King before he died and that Griff is the rightful King, skipping Dany, plus he's a male. This would mean Aegon gets Connington, Selmy, and Tyrion(Tyrion isn't gonna give a crap about Dany without dragons, and sticks with team Griff) Faegon also gets Dorne, not Dany, No Marriage pact for a married Khaleesi, generations removed from Dorne Vs. Elia's supposed child Without the dragons, Faegon gets a lot stronger while Dany and the Dothraki become a minor annoyance. They are great warriors and horsemen, but lightly armored and get smoked by archers and knights in plate armor before they get off the beach wherever they make landfall(they only have Jorah, a wanted man as the only guy with real knowledge of Westeros) but Especially if they go against the Mannis Sorry gang, all that Dany has, is because of Drogo's death.

Why the house of dragon spoilers in a game of thrones video 😢

What if John Snow had died as a child when he got the pox?

What if aemond died trying to claim vhagar

What if Myrcella “Baratheon” married Robb Stark instead Joffrey & Sansa? What if Lyanna Stark lived? What if Jamie Lannister was at the Tower Of Joy instead of Gerold Hightower?

If they directly attack Dragonstone, they lose, period. Stannis still has five thousand men, and unarmored light cavalry is possibly the worst pick of troops in a contested landing. Stannis's fleet launch an attack on the transports, sinking many if not most of them, the Dothraki land and get slaughtered by the Baratheon knights and crossbowmen, their cavalry completely useless in the rocky beaches of Dragonstone. That's it. 17:55 I think Barristan would push for this, but Jorah might not since he really hates Ned for forcing him to...face the consequences of his actions.

Dany was actually always fireproof remember when they showed her touching the burning egg and her maid freaked out and burned herself taking the egg and dany wasn’t hurt at all

What about the show hinting that she was always heat resistant? First she gets into the hot tub that the maids exclaim is too hot. Then she holds the dragon eggs from the coals. It doesn't burn her but her maid gets burned from touching them for just a second. When she says her brother wasn't the dragon because fire doesn't kill a dragon, she already knew she was fireproof. Idk if that's book cannon or not but the show foreshadowed that. I think she would have still attempted to hatch the eggs somehow. It was on her mind before Drogo got hurt

I finished reading AGOT for the first time yesterday and thought "he should make a video for what if drogo lived.." and then the next day here it is 😭😭

Basically, Daenerys would be screwed.

What if Alicent was baren? What if Alicent and Rhaenyra were in a secret relationship? What if Vaeghar ate /burned Aemond? What if Alicent 's children didn't inherit the "dragon riding " gene? What if Rhaenyra didn't slept with Christian Cole? What if Daemon didn't make the "heir for a day" joke? What if Laenor wasn't gay? What if Christian Cole didn't kill Jofrey in the wedding party? What if Alicent died giving birth to Aegon?

You're wrong about why Drogo died in the book. He took the bandages off and rubbed horse shit on it. How is that Mary's fault. Mary steps in when he's sick.

What if someone claimed The Cannibal

What if jon wanted the iron throne

Interesting video I think the Dothraki culture would mean that 1 alliances would be out of the question 2 They would get out thought consistently

this is the worst what if smh none of what you said makes sense. its all scattered and sounds like a big filler. this straight crap

The brutality vs the civilization aint really that big of a point. Yes Drogo would be brutal as king but that would mostly effect just kingslanding. Look at the Yuan the mongol dynasty in China, they were brutal and savage, but for the common people outside the capitol they were just another monarchy.

What if Jon took iron throne

What if Ned is killed by Arthur Dayne who takes Jon and raises him?

Prediction before watching. Daenerys would not get her Dragons. Drogo never decides to cross the ocean. Cercei rules the 6 Kingdoms and raises her child with her brother. John Snow rules the north. The Night King never crosses the wall because he can't.

One of the "what if" I have been thinking a lot about is What if Viserys was a good person and loved his sister very much. Let's say he was like Jahaeris in character and aspirations

Jorah's betrayal wouldn't be punished with a mere exile if Drogo was still around, so he'd never make it beyond The Wall.

Dany showed resistance to heat in her debut chapter/episode when she gets in the boiling bath water with her servant saying its way too hot for her and tries to get her out and again when she touches the egg whilst its resting on burning coals. Also Aegon dying in Summerhall could be because of the smoke causing asphyxiation. In fact, most people whom die in a fire die from the smoke long before the flames get to them. Daemon being wounded by the flaming arrow is obvious... He got hit by an arrow, of course it would leave a scar and hurt him.

I've always whated this what if, but when part two of the what if Maegor the bronze dragon. Because I can see a potential path for him, I can see that after the war in the step stones Deamon accepts Corlys offer to wed Maegor to Laena, for one reason Deamon is not an idiot he knows with Alicent marrying Viserys that time is running out not just for him an Rhaenyra but also his son, he knows that Otto will do everything he can to his grandkids on the throne, so having his son marry into the only other family that has dragons is the best option to protect themselves.

What if Vesenya lived (Daemon and Rhaenyara's daughter)

What if Ned becomes King instead of Big Rob

What if the mad king sent Elia ,aegon ,rhaenys away with viserys and Rhaella to dragon stone

What if George finished the books 😅

What if Daemon was made hand

What if khal drogo wasnt so much wasted potential lol.

She was heat resistant before Drogo's Death

What if the friendship betwen aerys II and tywin never ended ?

What if Oberyn killed the Mountain?

The focus would never be on her being Queen the focus will be on getting her son on the throne so I didn't matter if people would follow her or not they would be following the Sun that she has so none of that would apply nobody would see her as the ruling Queen people will see her As the mother of the rifle king

What if dannys brother lived?

I think it was the burning of khal the witch and her "cursed baby" too. 3 powerful lives for 3 dragons. Also the alignment of the red comet in the sky. As well as in the books she did kindof get burned or at least all her hair was off, so paired with the pain/being burned state of mind near the eggs signaling there is a mother nearby to care for them to hatch

If he lived and made it to westeros, he wouldn't have thrown all of his Calvary away on that idiotic first charge against the night kings army and would have told Danny to burn the damn things instead.

What if Cersei's twin was a female?

What if daemon and caraxes lived what if young griff or aegon hatched a Dragon what if ores was a targaryen

Very surprised you still haven't done "What if Viserys named Daemon as his heir instead of Rhaenyra"

I'm sorry but 80% of the video- stuff we already know + recap, 10% of video - minor speculation, 10%- actual content advertised

I think a big thing that you did not consider is how would the horde be fed once it makes it to Dorne? Dorne is a desert, a place where the horses would have a tough time being fed. While Danny is learning politics and pondering alliances, I could see Drogo taking his Khalasar to the Reach to feed them and raid. This would draw Renly's armies away (as long as Stannis hasn't already assassinated him) because he would have to defend High Garden. I could see this leading to a pitched battle with Renly's weakened army after many raids by the Dothraki. Renly's army would most likely be destroyed during this battle, which leads the Khalasar to likely move north towards the River Lands. Now, Tywin is stuck between Robb's army and a horde of Dothraki, with no extra reinforcements from Renly's disbanded cause. The Battle of the Black Water would then ensue as it does normally, only Stannis would win. Even with Stannis's army shattered by the Wild Fire, he still had the power to take King's Landing. The battle was all but lost when Tywin rode in. Therefore, in this scenario, Stannis takes the Iron Throne and rules for a time (also Cersei, Marcella, Tommen, Joffrey, and Tyrion would be put to the sword or die of poisoning). Stannis would also get custody of Sansa, who could then be used as a bargaining chip to get Robb on his side. This creates an arguably stronger alliance than any hypothetical marriage pact Danny could form. Tywin would be left to the wolves per say, because Dorne would never accept an alliance with him and he's definitely not forming an alliance with Stannis, who just killed his strongest ties to the throne. Tywin would likely be destroyed swiftly (though he might see the writing on the wall and bend the knee, but I think he's too prideful for that), and there would be no Red Wedding because Walder Frey would never have the backing of the Lannisters. Now we have an attritioned alliance between Robb and Stannis (and whatever remnants of Renly's army is left) versus the Dothraki and Dorne. The Iron Islands would probably still raid and take the north because they believe that the Dothraki wouldn't be able to take the Iron Islands (crossing water, terrain that's not advantageous for cavalry to fight on, and nothing to eat ["we do not sow"]) and Robb and Stannis would be too focused on the Dothraki to retaliate. Theon likely will act the same as he did in the cannon timeline by taking Winterfell, or at the very least failing to get an alliance/negotiate a truce between the North and the Iron Island. I don't see Robb and Stannis winning this based off of Robert's correct assessment of a Dothraki invasion. The Dothraki will raid the small folk, while Robb and Stannis hold up in whatever castles they can. The Dornish would then be able to siege any castle Robb and Stannis try to defend. They could potentially retreat to the twins, but with the Iron Islands holding the North and Moat Cailin, there's not much more to retreat to. Roose Bolton would likely betray Robb at this point in an effort to get on Danny's good side and take the North, though that's a bit of a rabbit hole with all of the different directions he could go. It's kind of a toss up if the Vale will come to help Robb and Stannis, maybe a marriage between Sansa and Robin might do it but that wouldn't change the outcome at all. Ultimately the Iron Throne will be taken by Danny, but her rule would be short as many assassins would come for her. The lords and small folk alike will hate her and the destruction she brought. I could see this scenario ending with the Seven Kingdoms reverting back to how they were before Aegon, the conqueror who united all*, while Danny will be remembered as the conqueror who destroyed all. In this scenario everyone loses, but Dorne and maybe the Greyjoys and the Boltons (again that's part of the rabbit hole). I know at this point in the story, Danny as a character wouldn't endorse the total war, but I believe once Drogo has tasted blood she'll end up being swept along in the tide. Only to be blamed in the end for everything. It would be poetic for Barriston to be the one to assassinate both her and Drogo, but I haven't really brainstormed how he would fit into all of this.

What if Robert Baratheon pardoned Jaime from the kings guard

Daemon gets hit with fire arrow and gets burned, then later flys through vhagars fire which would be the hottest flame in Westeros’s so maybes he’s just immune to dragon fire

And this is before you even get to the biggest what if of all: What if Dany does “win” the Iron Throne? Wouldn’t Drogo demand to rule Wouldn’t he change rules left and right? How could a Dothraki horse lord be expected to watch his wife rule the seven kingdoms?

The Dragons were also resurrected while the RED COMET proclaiming dragons was in the sky which had something to do with it. Those eggs had petrified to stone and needed all the magic to bring them to life. If the Dotraki are slaving and raping then I doubt Barriston Selmy would support Dany. And she gets to Westeros earlier. Stannis did really well againt the much larger Wildling army. I could see Dorne in an alliance against the Lannisters and Baratheon. And if Eddard is not dead then Robb has not been named King. But no Dragons. GoT would be completely different without dragons.

What if Stannis won the battle of ice? OR, if you want a challenge… what if the Ironborn rebellion succeeded/Balon sided with Rob/the Ironborn, possibly through Euron, won the wo5k?

What if Viserys ' last words was about Rhaenyra and the prophecy? What if Aegon successfully escaped?

Stannis : put the horse lord husband aside he wont understand whats happening mary me ill put aside my wife mary me and i will help you take backnyour anfestoral seat under the name baratheon

Assaulting Dragonstone would quite possibly be the dumbest thing Daenaerys and Drogo could do, while the dothraki are fearsome on land, Stannis has enough ships to dominate Kings Landing, and that's without the forces from the Stormlands. The Dothraki are horsemen, not accustomed to the sea, they'd be useless in a seabattle, and Stannis would reap the renown for smashing them, saving Westeros from a ravaging horde and finishing what Robbert started, que massive morale boost and heavy. Heck, the North would be quite happy to hear that Jorah Mormont is no more (With Stannis' mindset, Jorah will get executed for slavery). Btw: What if The Westerlings gained ownership of the Reyne lands and mines a few years before the series?

In terms of marriage alliances, betrothing Rhaego to one of Prince Oberyn's youngest daughters makes the most sense. Since they recognize Daenaerys as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, she could always legitimize one or all of Oberyn's daughters. Going to Dragonstone is a great idea because the commoners and lords of the narrow sea, have long been Targaryen loyalist, even before the Conquest. Dany would get a lot of organic, loyal support to her personal on Dragonstone.

The Dothraki hold no chance at conquering Westroes, there is no shot, even if they safely land, Robert, Stannis, Ned, Blackfish, Tywin, Roose Bolton, Tarly all experienced commanders who can easily beat them up

Able man, but how well would Dothrakis led by a Dothraki actually do against armored knights? These guys are not quit Mongols, who actually had tactics that could counter armored knights. Does this put Daneris into the position to hatch the dragons?

I don't think that starks will make an alliance with dany. For a long time dany thought of the starks and the baratheons as the bad guys for revolting against her house. She didn't know the truth and it was ser selemy that told her the truth. Even at that time she was not ready to accept the truth. Also the north hates house targareyan because a lot of people lost their lives during the war. And dany was not good at politics, she would have wanted rob to kneel before her and i don't see that happening. The only reason jon accepted her as the queen was because of her army.

I don't think Dorne would ally with Daenerys if she came to Westeros as the wife of a Kahl. The Dornish drink their respect women juice, the Dothraki - don't. It think the culture clash would be too much for them to work together. In the show Daenerys could curb the Dothraki because dragons but with no dragons and no real authority of her own I think the Dothraki would do what the Dothraki do and she wouldn't find allies anywhere because of their behavior. The Westerosi like to think of themselves as more civilized so none of them would want to ally with raping marauding savages (even though their own armies do their fair share of raping and marauding). The actual moral high ground that the Westerosi would hold, and the major sticking point, would be that Westeros is majorly anti-slavery. So if the Dothraki did what they always do and took slaves then Daenerys wouldn't find friends anywhere.

I feel the Reach defeats the Dothraki, 100k men vs 40k. The Dothraki are light cavalry and light Calvary archers, even if the Reach has lots of Levies, their heavy cavalry, men at arms and many other more diverse units would defeat the Dothraki. Plus Light Calvary is the worst unit to use in a siege.

Re-read and re-Watch Drogos pledge. He will take the iron chair for his SON. Drogo likes Dany because she’s good in bed and gets pregnant with his prophecy baby. If Drogo and Rhaego didn’t die, Dany would be a footnote in Simone else’s history book.

Great Channel and stories, but I think you put way too many scenarios into your story and makes it seem convoluted with too many outcomes. Stick to one story line instead of going off on a tangent about:”well if this happens, or that happens than this could happen, but let’s go with this happening” too much fluff

Then, if he would’ve commanded his wife to burn the city, it would’ve made sense that she burned the city she, she would’ve been respecting her husband‘s wishes and his customs instead of I don’t know where acting at a character and burning a city for no reason since she had plenty of opportunities to burn other cities when people were killing her soldiers and people set free is she never punished a city by burning it do it later she is a ruler. She supposed to do things out of duty, not out of personal reasons that supposed to be the actions of the peasants

Either given change I've assessed means the Lannisters are doomed. The way GOT worked out was the only way they lived lol!

In season 1 episode 1 Danny is getting ready to get into a bath tub when the maid warns her that it's still WAY too hot ! Danny goes in anyway and it doesn't hurt or burn her at all , she's always been the unburnt , but she's the only one , the other Targaryens aren't fire proof , I mean look at Aegon ll , Daemon gets burned too ,

Spoilers for HotD: What if the dragonseeds didn't betray the blacks?

Does Drogo realize that he needs the Unsullied (a disciplined infantry force) to take Westoros?

Dude. Love your video , but take a alternative timeline path and stick with it , not more perhaps and maybey and 3 or 4 scenarios for each moment

Tell me anyone after khal drogo 's death .where his all 40 k soldiers go 😅

Other thought for Dorn, Danie and Drogo foster one of the Dronish royal family's kids . . . .

What if I hit my head, scrambled my brains and I'd believe GoT season 8 was fantastic?

Would they really go to westeros. It looked to me like deany loved the way she loved with the Dothraki befor Drogo died.

They definitely would have had more heat on Dany as she was vying for the throne and no way anyone was letting another Targarean be seated on it.

What if we were actually waiting on a dream of spring instead of winds of ❄️

What if both Rhaegar and Robert died on Trident and loajalist won the Battle and war

I thought daemons scar from the fire arrow was more from the arrow than the fire

Daenarys showed she was fireproof PRIOR to the drogo funeral the whole point of her grabbing the egg scene was to show that

What if thoros of myr could bring back a man without a head

How many targerians are immune to fire. What other characters are

What if Vizzy three respected Kal Drogo

What if Jace was betrothed to marry Baela and Halaena at the same time?

oooo they way he crown 😂 there is a long line to be crowned by him😂

What if Damon became king, and would be his hand?

Whst if The Targaryens and velaryon fougt

He only gets to be Viserys III if he become king.

Khal Drogo would have killed Jon Snow.

I would have liked if he lived a bit longer.

What if I had married Khal Drogo?

I think Dany would still find a way to hatch the dragon eggs. She would just need 3 ppl to burn.

What if John didn’t join the watch

What if joffrey married shireen

I was just saying this last night

What if Robb Stark won

Will rhaego get a dragon egg

I live what ifs🙂

I was thinking myself that Dorne would be the best place for Daenerys and the Dothraki. The Dothraki are obviously based on the Mongol Empire both are nomadic horseback warriors the leader of the Dothraki are called Khals were as Mongol leaders were called Khans. Dorne is the Persians, Unsullied are the Spartans (taken as small boys of 7 and trained to be warriors), Targaryens are the ancient Egyptians, Old Valyeria is Atlantis, Wildlings are the Picts/Scottish (Romans even build a wall across the north of England to keep them out), The North is medieval England (in fact most of Westeros is medieval Europe). As being a historian and a big fan of this series it’s nice to see where GRRM has got inspired by certain civilisations over different periods of history and I love your series of “what if…” videos

During Kols funeral pire. The witch was burned as well. And Danny went into the fire as well. Where she was reborn of fire and became the mother of three baby dragons. So she lost w child and a powerful husband. However she was reborn after walking into the fire and gave birth (basically) to the three dragons.

What if everyone rejected Tyrion’s idiotic idea of bringing a white walker to Cersei? What if Dragons were hatched at Summerhall?

Armor isn't an issue, look at human history. There was a reason why heavily armored militaries always lost to horse-riding nomads.

Just found your channel and 😅ts my fave on all of YT…..THANK YOU FOR THE TIME & EFFORT MAKING THESE VIDS ❤❤

Danyaeras actually gained the true love of Kal Drogo. Before he died she had quite a bit of influence on him.

I have a suggestion, what if Balerion had lived longer and died at the same time as Viserys? Both in book and show canon

On the topic of danny being fire proof I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure it's a bloodline that not every Family member gets it very rare and only few get it.. also the bond between dragon and ride is way more deep longer life span immune to illness but if ur dragon dies u lose all the benefits
