(Tyrion/Malora) Could Tyrion open a Citadel Branch in Lannisport?

**Context:** Okay, so imagine a world where Leyton Hightower doesn't decline when Tywin offers Tyrion for a marriage. Tyrion ends up marrying Malora the Mad Maid around the same time that Jorah marries Lynesse.

After visiting Oldtown, Tyrion:

  1. Hears about the story of Peremore the Twisted

  2. Sees how economically and politically beneficial the Citadel is.

  3. Knows that Malora would greatly miss having access to it.

  4. Understands that his marriage means the Hightowers may support his claim to the Rock, even if Tywin doesn't.

If Tyrion petitioned Tywin to fund a Citadel satellite branch (citing how much it would elevate Lannisport's power and that it would be a gift for his new wife), do you think Tywin would agree?

Malora, could also petition her own father to help set it up, acquire maesters, and get the citadel's blessing. She both wants access to knowledge and wants a citadel branch of her own that she can influence to accept female scholars (eventually).

So, is it believable? Any logistical problems I should think about or political implications? This fic is still in its infancy, so I've only just begun drafting the plot.

A question about what the blind Shepard was doing to Argos' littermates...

He was throwing them off the cliff right? I could've sworn that was what he was doing, but my husband swears he was putting them into some kind of wicker basket or bag (to drown them later). We saw it late last night, so I can't entirely remember the scene.

I really thought he was just chucking them off a cliff, but now I'm not sure. Does anyone remember more clearly?

Where was Jaehaera in that last scene (S3E2)

So we see Alicent and Helaena be brought in after Otto's beheading, but Jaehaera isn't with them at all. So where might she be? I doubt that the Goldcloaks wouldn't bring the Princess to Rhaenyra if they had her.

What do you guys think? Was handed off to someone before they were caught and brought back? Or maybe she was kept out of the room to spare her from seeing the beheadings?

After watching AKOTSK, I really wanted to watch more jousting. I watched "A knight's Tale" and "Ivanhoe" but there's only so much jousting media available. I also wanted something that touched more on the actual techniques and mechanics of jousting, like the AKOTSK book.

And then I found Full Metal Jousting...

It aired on the history channel like 14 years ago. It's basically a bunch of rednecks and history nerds recreating jousting tournaments. Full contact, armored jousting, exactly what I was looking for.

There are some episodes free on youtube and it's streaming on Prime. I'd highly recommend checking it out! I've linked the fourth episode of season 1.
