The Dragon's Peace (Fire & Blood VRR)
The First Dornish War was Aegon the Conqueror’s last war. For the rest of his reign he was largely concerned with peace. However, enforcing peace in warlike Westeros is no easy thing. Did Aegon actually rule well, or was everyone just afraid of him? Did his policies lead to the many civil conflicts that came less than a generation after his death?

First Blood (and Fire) (Fire & Blood VRR)
Last time we discussed the first few years of Aegon’s reign. The final subtopic we covered was the peaceful attempts to bring Dorne into the realm.

Ellaria Sand
No character represents the concept of revenge or the blood feud like the Red Viper. It is ironic, and quite intriguing that his paramour Ellaria Sand is quite likely the character who best represents opposition to these cycles of violence... and unlike Oberyn, she's still alive and still fighting for peace, while one of her daughters, named Elia for Oberyn's beloved sister, is joining the Game of Thrones.
