Winds of Winter Predictions: The Stallion Who Mounts 

I love the idea of Drogon as The Stallion Who Mounts The World. I never considered that the Dothraki would respect the hell out of someone who could ride a dragon, that they would see it as a mega-horse.

The Quote about The Stallion Who Mounts The World illustrates another glaring way the show got it wrong. To Dany bells are symbolic of Dothraki pride and victory. The sound of bells would not have triggered her to go insane!

I'm really interested in Danys arc more than any other after the abomination of season 8, I can't wait to see how Grrm develops it.

After the show I had felt like the story died. For the first time in years I felt nothing about asoiaf. Then, I reread it and am excited again. I have a feeling that what is coming will be worth the wait.

My Winds of Winter BOLD prediction is this: it will be better than the show :)

i think the one for death is referring to the vision she of "A tall lord with copper skin and silver-gold hair stood beneath the banner of a fiery stallion, a burning city behind him: I think this is a vision of “days that never were” as this vision comes in the exact order of the prophecies. It also includes "Viserys screamed as the molten gold ran down his cheeks and filled his mouth" and "Rubies flew like drops of blood from the chest of a dying prince, and he sank to his knees in the water and with his last breath murmured a woman’s name" aka these are 3 fires she must light within herself, not literal fires. She must the fire that Viserys once had, that of taking the iron throne. She must light the fire her son would have had, the one who mounts the world. and the fire of her Rhaegar, this is the fire of the prince who was promised. She must light the fires of her dead loved ones within herself. It is metaphorical for what she must do, something so far in the books, she has been too scared or reluctant to do.

Drogon is, in a sense, the son of Dany and Drogo, even a symbolic reincarnation of Drogo. So, Drogon being the Stallion That Mount the World makes perfect sense. Khal Drogon. I love the sound of that. If the series is never finished, your predictions will be my canon.

I'm not sure if there has ever been a book that was so highly anticipated that its fans speculated about all conceivable branches the story could go into. Maybe 2020 will finally be the year where we will find out for real. Thanks for keeping my ASOIAF passion burning guys.

LML I know George has said he avoids looking at fan opinions/theories at this point but I hope he runs across at least one of your vids at some point so he can see that there's fans who take his complex integration of symbolism seriously. I for sure really love how he has that in his books and it's part of what makes asoiaf so addicting. I know he for sure wants us to be discussing and picking up on his symbolic clues.

What is also amazing about Dany's relationship with the Dothraki is that the Dothraki began to be an incredible force in Essos immediately after the fall of Valyria, dominating and pillaging lots of territories all througout the century of blood. Dany being the Targaryen that probably has the most resemblance with Old Valyria makes perfect sense thematically in the sense that she will regain control over the Dothraki ALSO in a historical scale of the relationship between Valyria and the Dothraki - as it is said that the Dothraki in Valyrian times were afraid of the dragons.

The Dothraki appreciate power, Jhaqo will have no choice but to concede to her dragon with his khalassar. She will become Khaleesi again this way.

I heard a theory that Dany is the Stallion because she's been uniting the peoples of the world (mostly in Essos). In Essos there aren't nearly as many factions as there used to be. A lot of the Free Cities have gathered at Volantis in a huge unified military force, if she becomes the Khal of all the Dothraki, she'll have united another 100,000. The Yunkai'i are united against her, the Iron Born are (maybe?) on her side. Qarth is against her. There are probably about 100 million people in Essos and she's united everyone West of the Bone Mountains into, like, 8 factions, as opposed to the approximate 100 million factions from 4 years earlier. They're shaky at best, but they are there. Most are against her, but at least it's a start.

As long as Jon and Dany don’t end up with Cersei and Jamie’s story like they did in the show, I’ll be fine. I mean they made them almost identical couples.

D&D read the death by fire prophecy and automatically thought she was gonna become Hitler

“When mountains blow in the wind like leaves”. Maybe refers to the mother of the mountain scene that could possibly happen. Dany and Drogon will be be turning Dothraki leaders and their bloodriders to ash to the point that it seems like they are blowing away off of the mountain like leaves.maybe?

This tracks IMO-- her child is prophesied to be the Stallion that mounts the world-her dragons are described as her children many, many times I don't think it will literally be the Stallion that mounts the world, but I parallels are certainly there. Not the first time weve seen things like that in Asoiaf....

If the Dothraki accept Dany as their kalesi after some symbolic ascension of the mother of mountains event, would Dany then BE the mother of mountains? 😜

Really cool collab’s with LML. These Winds predictions are awesome. Keep it going guys!

The artwork you have been using for this series is phenomenal. I like how you cite the artists in the video. About the Dosh Khaleen, I think some will choose to stay behind to continue their traditional roles and Dany will accept this. Some will want to follow Dany back to Meereen where she could offer them positions on some kind of regional council. Meereen is well positioned to be the capital of her realm in Essos after she takes down the Triarchy in Volantis.

Quinn and LmL, you guys are killing it! This is the most exciting series I’ve ever seen, outside the show. Yeah am one of those people who don’t hate D&D. I might not have loved ALL the story lines but by God, they did bring us the spectacle. I am somewhat sad because we won’t see the rest of the story on screen. Thanks again for the brilliant art work. And a big shout out to all the Great Artists who created them.❤️👍

I love Roy Dotrice's voice for Drogo when he says "The stallion who mounts the world" cracks me up lol. Rest in peace Roy

Really enjoying this new series you two have going!

I want Daenerys to be the stallion that mounts the world but I'm totally cool with it being Drogon too.

Really enjoying this series guys. Thanks for the work you both put in

Thank you two guys. Your prediction series really sparked that smoldering ember that my anticipation had become into a raging fire. Can't wait to return into the world of Ice and Fire.

Dis George announce wow or something? Suddenly seeing so many ASOIAF theory vids. Not that I am complaining

Holy shit the cover art for this video is hottttt! Loving the new stuff! Thanks for all your work!

Yo that Dany and Drogon fan art in the beginning is really cool, anyone knows who it's by or where you could get it?

This was amazing, Quinn!

Thank you, LML!

The Dothraki follow strength and what is stronger than a Khaleesi on a Dragon! Dany also had the vision of the Crones bowing 2 her and what they do all do.

I REALLLY like this type of W.O.W. content.

I had no idea you have a subreddit, I am following of course.

These ideas are so good they should be considered book spoilers!

fuck a Nobel Prize, I'm tryna get that Quinn's stamp of approval

Mind blowing collab!

I have been completely out of the game of thrones content since season 8. I am very glad I can’t across these videos because it has reignited my interest in the topic. Thanks guys! ❤️❤️

Great video guys

Danny on the Mountain reminds me of Rand getting his Dragon tattoos in TWoT

Did she lose her hair so I’m not sure there’s any hair for her to hang the bells on

These videos are AWESOME! Keep it up!! Also, do you guys have any idea when the release date is??

Do you guys think Quaithe will return and related to this somehow?

Very interested in this idea of her climbing a holy mountain wow

I'm thinking Danys return to Mereen will be initiated by the Dragonbinder event--the dragons seem to be able to sense Dany at a distance, so it's no stretch this could go all three ways (dragon-dany dragon-dragon dany-dragon) Drogon clearly isn't obeying her, but I think he's going to take wing for Mereen once Viserion and Rhaegal end up in trouble--probably right after she deals with the Dosh Kaleen [Maybe we'll even see a(nother) mountain blow like leaves in the wind] Maybe Dragonbinder can act as far as the Dothraki sea--Euron is still in Westeros after all, and we know it's his very plan to seize the dragons with the horn, yet he's comfortable sending it away with Victarion

I hope You do Bran!!!! There's a lot to expect from his arc too

I love that Daenerys and Drogon are so close that they're eating BBQ 🐎 horse together and she shows NO fear at Khal Jhoqo. The Dothraki will bend the knee at Vaes Dothrak. She has the vision of all the crones bowing.

I wonder if Dany might send the Dothraki ahead to Volantis to meet her there once she sails from Meereen. I have a feeling Dany and her followers will stop there before arriving in Westeros, the set up for it is definitely present in ADWD.

Only fire and blood can save the world

I don't know which one of you is responsible for the little text edits that have been popping up when one of you says something funny, but they make my day, heh heh

Green berries and bloody streams!! Right on!!

I love that Drogon shares his dinner with her. Well worse comes to worse Dany & Tyroon can always found a Dragon BBQ joint calked the Dany" Dragon Pit. She could even do whole animal catering. "NOW OPENING in our beautiful new Westetous premesis on Dragon Stone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Somehow I never thought of Drogon as the stallion that mounts the world 🤷🏻‍♂️🙈 It was always ‚only‘ a Dothraki thing to me... gone with Rhaego‘s death, if it ever was a thing, or in parts manifesting through Dany

what a great way to start my day! thanks, guys.🤗

I looked up “Dragonrider” by Rene Aigner and its not the one you posted with the credit. It’s the one after, with her in the purple atop Drogon. I really want to save the photo for my background, of the one of her in armor with Drogon beside her. 😢

While watching this I had a revelation. The Note that Aegon the first received that made him so angry about his missing sister wife being lost in Dorne and then he swiftly flew to dragon stone and nobody can figure out why, well I think it was to compare the letter with other writing by her own hand. It would have matched and he would have recognized it but needed to know for sure. It makes me wonder what she wrote to him.

Suppose maybe stallion is a dragon so the stallion that mounts the world is her dragon

"Danny...ate with him [Drogon], ripping chunks of meat...with bare, burned hands." I thought she inherited that fire-proofing ability that some Targaryans get?

The Stallion prophecy is all rather reminiscent of Paul and his jihad. So neat synergy there.

I always thought The Mother of Mountains was a hollowed hill. Like after the Long Night humans emerged from the hill into a new world. Maybe they are sacrificing to a Heart Tree at the top of the hill?

Victarion kidnaps Dany and takes her to Westeros

That’s right the dorthraki have that prophecy where they all return to Vaes Dorthrak.

The shows really, really upset me (dramatic, but a fact) and were such a disappointment, but your videos and theories have continually reignited my passion for the series. Thank you for all you do and for sharing it with us!!

I really hope George includes a Dothraki viewpoint chapter in Winds. That would be pretty cool.

I'm sorry to bring this up but what happened to Obsidian Nights yo?

Dracarysizing, I think.

I hope Dany will do something similar like in show when she burned all khals

Perspective unlocked: Tyrion matches up with viserion, like the dragons namesake, Viserys, tyrion feels stripped of his birth right

You guys are the best !

Just wanna point out that the Dothraki culture is sort of based apon one strong leader and all the laws and traditions that they observe were likely set in place by a great khal. So in a sense the Dothraki culture is sort of set up to be easily changed or augmented depending on the will of the strongest khal

The fire she lit for death gave her the unsullied.

LmL looked stoned af lol 😆

i just want to see dany come back to mereen with all of the dothraki, sandwiching some of the strongest forces in essos, and just sweeping west conquering the continent. aegon come again and all that but big and better. shit she'd prob snag volantis and with that essos is basically done already

Quinn Ideas= the Mos Def of the fantasy community

Well made Plate Armor can float like a tin boat due to giant air bubble in the chest cavity

I wonder if D&D bombed seasons 5,7-8 on purpose it just seems impossible anyone could drop the ball THAT bad.

I'm assuming this is the third video, but where to from here? They're not numbered.

I'm sorry but you look like two junkies discussing the merits of snack food after getting high haha Love you both

this content drop

Is that music from "The Shining"?

Quinn, my man!

Ok, but what about the mount who stallions? 🤔

oh nice

I repeat operation dothraki freedom

The Fire for Death could be for the death of the Dothraki way ⚰️🪦🎠

Will someone please tell me the name of the other reviewer? I know Quinn from "Dune" and want to watch the other reviewer, also. Thank you.🌹

The is a tradition that eating the heart of your enemy gives your their power. What Dany ate was the heart of a stallion imbuing her with a male energy among other benefits. While Drogon does indeed mount the world, Dany with her stallion's heart within her, mounts Drogon. More symbolism, more dots connected.

Dany always expected her son to be the stallion and technically drogon is her son, since she considers the dragons her children

Wouldn't dragon fire still cause the water to heat... Boil a person in it?

Hi Quinn and LML 👋👋👋👋 Love both your videos you always a👍from me

Was it really cold in that studio?

Oy don't tease!!! I'm super thirsty for WoW 😥😥

I the main thing I'm so torn on, with what I hope is the same and what I hope is different, is Jamie and Brienne. I hope they get together, but not if it's just for him to run back to Cersei. If that happens I will burn my books

Re gathering: danny's trail?

First riding a great horse then riding an entire khal but i do believe drogon is the highest one can Go and that she does Only 2 Humans left that could come Close to drogon are euron and Jon _(maybe Bran but she will never get Action with Bran bc she Likes em muscled Up)_

Break the wheeeeeeeeel. Anyway, Drogon has no hair (or bells in it).

Im the Stallion who Mounts 😎

People really think Danny is a good guy. She has the exact same character motivation as Griffith from Berserk

Meg?

Been way to long man.

👀 Drogon is supposed to (we think) represent Rhaego. So, this would make sense. Entirely forgot to add that into a prior comment.
