We know the Old Blood base worthiness off the strength of your connection to Old Valyria. And that the blood is so common in Lys that half the population has Valyrian features, while the other half has Valyrian adjacent traits. But is there any indication of the relative purity of each population? Are Asshai'i Sorcerers buying bags of Lysene babies for the properties of their blood to sacrifice/train as successors?
And does it matter beyond a certain point? It seems as though the Targs could avoid Hapsburg syndrome with incest and even 'top up' their inherent magic a little. There's probably other hideously dangerous ways to do it, which would track if it was a magically enforced phenotype
Say any children from the wedding night/early marriage aren't prevented or aborted. Wether because the Fortuneteller she based so much of her life on said to have it, she doesn't hear 'Lyanna' the first time or Olenna Martell turns up and uses her miserable old bag powers to ensure she stays pregnant. Whatever. Either way, Cersei's attempts to dispose of the child fail, people know she's pregnant and she's having the baby.
Would Cersei risk assassination once the baby was born to put it down? As it's not a 'real' (Jaime) child, and a girl, the baby can't be a threat to a real heir in Joffrey. Robert's probably eyeing the girl off to marry to Robb Stark, Tywin probably wants her as a page. T
Things like Divided and Entwined or that one story where a time travelling Fleur uses the Imperius to have him kill Fudge. Closer to 'canon' is better, but I'll take what I can get. Cheers.
Dumbledore is being Dumbledore and makes Snape the grocery boy. He has to apparate onto the front step, and routinely is concerned about watchers who know roughly where the Potters are. Any ideas as to the name? Cheers.
Contessa basically abandons her saying it's necessary. She stays 'loyal', Legend comes to beg her for help a few times. She starts slipping in and out of lucidity.
