And the the Oh, The deaths of Queen Rainies and even more so Princess Miria led to the end of the first Dornish war.

But ultimately the final decision to end it was made by Egon the Conqueror upon receipt

of the mysterious letter that he burned immediately after reading.

What was in that letter?

Was it sorcery, a threat, a revelation?

We have questions beyond this as well.

For example, it worked, So why didn't Miria try it?

What was her thinking on it? What's the deal there? And if Rainies did say survive her fall when Moraxis was shot down, what exactly did they promise if that is the answer?

And if it's not, well, we've got further questions.

That and the legacies of Rainis and Maria, what their deaths meant for their respective countries other than the end of the war,

well, we've got that and more on this episode of History of

Westrose Podcast. Hello and welcome back everybody. It's another excellent edition of the Fire and Blood

Read Through, we hope. We hope you agree. I'm going to say that he burned that

letter immediately and conveniently or inconveniently you look at it.

Talk about burn after reading like you'd think it's not surprising that the

Targaryans are big on that one. We have live streams every 3 p.m. on Sundays for stuff like this.

Maybe occasionally we don't, but most Sundays I should say.

Afterwards every video is available on YouTube where it was streamed, and an edited version will appear on Spotify.

The audio version will appear everywhere. You can get podcasts and there is an ad-free version on Patreon.

If you join us there, you can listen without any ad breaks.

We are in the midst of our topics moot now at the midpoint of this episode. I'll let you all know

what topics we've done so far, what are in progress, and a sneak peek at this few that are coming.
