what is going on with Euron Crow's Eye?

[Christyboyrebel]

Right, im new here and am not really one of these readers who seems to pick up on all the clues..ie, a bit slow. Saying that, i do really enjoy all your ideas and have spent about a week in work reading through them.

Now, on to the point...i vaguely remember Euron blowing some sort of horn at the Kingsmoot Probably taken from the ruins of Valyria????. Now, was it just me or did he say something about that horn being able to control dragons? I might have just thought that myself. But it did effect all the guys around pretty severely didnt it?? It just seems to me that this could be a big factor in the future.

Just clear this up for me if im completely way off and dont be afraid to shoot me down for any novice errors. Cheers guys, i know you're answers will be helpful.

 

[Christyboyrebel]

Oh yeah, just to say im not trying the lazy option here. Im actually re-reading the books from the start again. But im only started - such a long way to go from here
Its good having Ned alive again though. Even if it is only for a while.

Yes, Euron claims to have a horn that controls dragons that he took from old Valyria and the guy who blew it, died from his lungs being burnt by it.

Now, the questions you should ask yourself are:

1) Where is the horn now? Does Euron still have it or did Victarion take it with him in his quest to seek out Dany?
2) Does it really control dragons or was it a hoax for Euron to grab onto the throne of the Iron Islands?
3) Will they ever get a chance to use it? (GRRM would of not introduced it had he no intention of using it)
4) Will Dany possibly travel to old Valyria (maybe even aided by Victarion) to learn to control her dragons before Euron can take them from her?

Well the horn might be used by Dany, (the magic symbols on it might make it mean that you have to be of some bloodline or so), in the future it might play a role, but so far i couldnt care squat about it, the reason is because it is USELESS. Euron claims that with the horn you can control dragons, thus saying that whomever who blows the horns can control the dragons in some magic way (though i dont think the dragons will be to happy to be bound), but the dude who blows the horn dies, now i ask you HOW can a DEAD man control a DRAGON. so therefore i though Eurons idea to be nothing short of a coming together of sheer stupidity and madness. the Horn atm is useless.

 

[southron sword]

i reakon that maybe only sumone of the bloodline can blow it n not die. or maybe a sumone who is tied with dany. thats y the crows eye wants dany, to b her husband thus control the dragons with the horn. maybe im worng i dunno. so the horn is kinda usless atm but later on maybe it will come good. n dany has shown an interest in good lookin blokes. n the crows eyes is sposed to b a looker. maybe she will get involved with him?

Someone of the bloodline, or maybe someone already dead (take your pick who). I severely doubt that Dany will marry a Greyjoy, mostly because they expect obedience from their wives, which would not be Dany's strong suit. The likeliest choice for a Greyjoy ally would be Asha. She reminds me a bit of Dany, actually, in some ways.

 

[Funky Cthulu]

The Greyjoys aren't big on mercy either - maybe Asha somewhat - and I think Dany would want a husband capable of both justice and mercy. I could see her taking Victarion as a lover for a little while though. But as you say, he'd need to accept her calling the shots.

 

[Somebloke]

I personally thought that Euron was planning to take Dany by force, through assembling an amarda to grab her...maybe that was just me.

 

[Snagas Tender Blades]

I reckon that Dany and Asha and that girl who was trapped in the tower at Sunspear will all get together. Some sort of triple marriage thing.

Yes, I agree. Victarion and Euron are used to treating women as possessions, and the quote is something like "You took my woman, I'll take yours". But I think he'll be in for a shock when he see's the Unsullied (and the dragons). So maybe he'll switch tactics and try to be charming.

 

[Boaz]

FC, I don't think the Greyjoys are big on charm either. Theon is the most charming of the group and even his best friend, Robb, didn't really love him. Robb liked Theon enough for Theon to charm Robb into granting Theon his freedom.

 

[Weasel Soup]

Ask the French how charming the Vikings were. Reavers Reave. The iron price. no charm.

Oh yeah, I agree. But I'd still like to see him try, for the comedy value.
For all we know, Victarion sees himself as the perfect catch - wealthy, strong, good fighter and royal blood.

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Royal Blood?
That's half of Westeros thanks to Robert

As regards this Valryian Horn which Euron claimed he had. Do you think he would have given that to Victarion who he regards as his biggest rival?
He must know that Victarion will take the first opporunity to stab him in the back. I'm surprised he even sent him to see Dany. I think Euron is just trying to get his rival out the way for a few months so he can consolidate his position amongst the Ironmen and if, by some miracle, Victarion does forge links with Dany, that may even be dangerous rather than helping him.

As an aside, is anyone else getting confused by these various horns or is it just me?
One horn will bring down the Wall, one will control dragons. Where's the one horn to rule them all?

 

[Faceless Woman]

I know, very confusing. Although the current theory is that at least one is fake. Oh, and Snagas? You wish.

It is true that they all feared the Vikings when they came reaving, but the fact is that they often merely traded with the people, there, they werent just brutes or so, indeed there society was very sophisticated and in some ways advanced one, wich is why their raides where so succesful.

It is even said that we provided them with the steel with wich they raided us, after all they bought a great amount of their swords by trading with us.

They brought a great deal of terror to us, but it was far from the only thing they consisted of

I see a modern parallel.

 

[Koopa]

well, yes and no, its not like they are using weapons they bought from us truly against us, so far they used plains, and self-made bombs in Europe and Amerika, as for what happens elsewhere in the Europe, well Afghanistan was justified, but Irak was an invasion, and in some degree a kolonisation attempt of some sorts by America. (America friendly governement, Oil-contracts,..)
