Huevember – Day 27.

“Lysa had been a pretty girl, in truth; dimpled and delicate, with long auburn hair. Timid, though. Prone to tongue-tied silences and fits of giggles, with none of Cersei’s fire. Her older sister had seemed more interesting, though Catelyn was promised to some northern boy, the heir of Winterfell …”

 Huevember – Day 26.

“Thirty yards from shore, three black swans were gliding over the water, so serene … no one had told them that war had come, and they cared nothing for burning towns and butchered men. She stared at them with yearning. Part of her wanted to be a swan. The other part wanted to eat one.”

( A Clash of Kings – Arya V )

Fire & Blood: 300 Years Before A Game of Thrones (A Targaryen History)
Queen Alysanne Targaryen women’s court – Art by Doug Wheatley

Queen Alysanne also wished to listen to the women of the North. When Lord Burley explained that there were no women on the Wall, she persisted… until finally, with great reluctance, he had her escorted to a village south of the Wall that the black brothers called Mole’s Town. She would find women there, his lordship said, though most of them would be harlots. The men of the Night’s Watch took no wives, he explained, but they remained men all the same, and some felt certain needs. Queen Alysanne said she did not care, and so it came to pass that she held her women’s court amongst the whores and strumpets of Mole’s Town… and there heard certain tales that would change the Seven Kingdoms forever.

For #TargaryenThursdays I drew one of my all time favorite characters that GRRM has ever written, with a quote that breaks my heart!! (big shoutout to @affzinho

for suggesting I draw Daeron giving Dark Sister to Brynden, which then snowballed into this project!)
