Daenarys Pgs 489-500

       This chapter begins with Dany eating a horse heart raw to give her son strength. She has been practicing and completes the task with some effort. After the dosh khaleen tell Dany her son will be "The stallion who mounts the world" (491) Which means he will rule the world essentially, she names him Rhogo after her husband and brother. Dany then washes in "The womb of the world (493) a lake that is sacred to the Dothraki and Drogo rakes her there. At the feast Viserys comes in drunk makes a scene then draws his sword. Dany disowns him as a brother and Drogo melted down is belt and in an in a sad way finally gave Viserys his throne.

      I chose this chapter because it is huge for Dany, but also because the Eddard chapters in this section are so painful to read even though they're major to this book I'd rather focus on Dany. In this chapter we find out that Rhogo will become the ruler of the world. Everything is going perfectly for Dany in this chapter she has a strong son and husband but Viserys continues to weigh her down and create trouble for her. The difference is this is the final straw for Dany, where she no longer can even recognize Viserys as her own blood and he just becomes "The man who had been her brother". This drunken display horrifies and enrages others the Dothraki. This is seen as such a unforgivable act that the only sentence is death and Drogo knows the way to do it. Drogo uses liquid gold to kill Viserys because it wont spill blood and offend the gods yet will kill Viserys giving him what he has been asking for, a golden crown.
