So, Glokta made it. He did get rid of most of Bayaz's influence. He destroyed the banks. Union can now, at least for some time, grow without him holding it by throat. Now, Union have a chance.

And yet it already lost, thanks to one detail - execution of The high king Orso.

In moment he took last breath, Union lost Starikland and Westport. Both of his sisters are spouses of its rulers, and so far we could see, Orso loved his family and they loved him back.

They lost legitimacy of its goverment, no matter how much Savine tries, she and her council will be usurpers.

It's possible they lost chance for good relations with Styria - there is no way Jappo will seriously consider something close so long as Leo sits in Council. He could make deal with Orso. He can make deal with Savine. But you cannot make deal with Leo cunt Brock. Shit, maybe even Westport willingly joins Styria now.

It's questionable how much Zacharus will trust the Union. Bayaz's influence or not, he probably won't trust name "dan Glokta".

And most importantly - the moment Orso took his last breath, Leo created founder of the new Bayaz's bank.

Decades of planning, hundreds of thousands dead, state ruined for one chance - and it already went south because of Brock.

Hello guys. Few days ago, I founded petition for making a czech dub for the show. I would like to czech and slovakian(slovak and czech languages are pretty samiliar, and Slovaks are generaly used to watch stuff in czech dub due to fact Czechs dub 10 times more stuff than Slovaks do) users in community, if there are any, to check the petition and to consider the signature.

Serie was relatively succesfull and specifically in Czechia, it held place among top 10 most viewed series on Prime Video when serie was realesed.

Creating a Czech dub would make the series accessible to a wider audience of Czech and Slovak viewers, increase its viewership, and ultimately benefit Prime Video itself. At the same time, this would be Critical Role’s first project to be officially translated into Czech, which could help promote the brand and contribute to the development of Czech dubbing.

Producing dub for series that have already been released can be logistically challenging. However, In case of The Mighty Nein, only the first season is currently available. Although the second season has been confirmed, its release date has not yet been announced. Amazon therefore has plenty of time to prepare the dubbing for the first season and release it before the premiere of the second season, which could then be released with czech dub at the same time.

While the quality of dubbing on Prime Video varies, the platform has demonstrated with the other animated series, Invincible, that it can deliver dub of a very high standard, both in terms of translation and acting performances. It is therefore reasonable to assume that any dubbing for The Mighty Nein could achieve comparable quality.

We all read how though could Targeryans, especially early ones be. We read about how Aegon enforced King's peace, how Maegor annihilated faith militant and how did Jahaerys actaully threatened his dear Baratheon father in law(don’t remember name) during their reconciliation with Vermithor and paid the visit to all lords of kingdoms, with Vermithor. And basically that’s how it went with Maegor and Aegon, most of their battles won by dragon fire and political succeses and reforms actually pushed by threat of dragonfire. You know, all these sounds relatively though, but actually... It shows systematic weakness. What kind of authority, requires the head of that authority to directly enforce it?

This is basically why I laugh when people actaully tries to compare Aegon to William the Conquerer, because boy, he Aegon wasn’t shit compare to Bill. Aegon done some basic crap to feed perception that kingdoms are united, while in reality, it stayed anarchy with mask of absolute monarchy. Lords still had full power, still nobody really watched them. Aegon declared King's peace, but what actaully prevented lesser lords to fight? Him personally threaten them with Balerion? Okay, but there is no problem - westerosi are extremely militant society and there are thousands of nobles in all kingdoms. Couldn’t enforce it everywhere even if he had teleporting powers. The same with Jahaerys, oh what a wise old king, came up with rest legal code. And required him to travel majority of his reign and basically threat every lord with Vermithor. He spent all that time traveling, while he could spend his time family, and, Idk, make sure his daughters won’t come up as a mess?

What could he possible do? I don’t know, maybe establish regional garrisons and judges directly answering the king, just like norman shire-reeves(sherrifs) and castellans. But nah, let lords ruling themselves, it will be okay, trust me my lord. Seriously, I can understand why Aenys didn’t established like that, but I don’t understand why Aegon and Jahaerys didn’t established it, and in case of Maegor it's straight up out of character. It literally took a Joffrey, Joffrey f**king Baratheon to realise that system he inherited from his father and from Targeryans sucks and sucked for all the time. It was normal that medieval rulers monarchs have castles that belonged directly to them and they were controled by their garrisons. Targeryans had that - Dragonstone, for example. But why for Seven they didn’t build a network or royal castles in entire Realm?

Also, cities - Aegon could easily confiscate citiesband towns of lords who rebeled at first and make them direct property of the crown and centers of its power. They you realise the income they would be bring to the crown? Or even better, Crown could found entirely new cities, that maybe one day could compare with free cities. Maybe these could be inspired by free cities or valyrian architecture. But nah, let just build giant slum, that is arguably the ugliest city in fiction, that is dysfuncional and filthy even next to irl medieval cities.

And it's not like just Targeryans refused to establish new institutions that would actaully strengthen power of their dynasty, they straight up allowed houses they personally established to grow mighty. I really cannot understand how thrlese houses can see themselves as regular lords. How on Seven's earth could Baratheon actually imagine calling Targeryan princess a whore? How can he laugh at Targeryan girl threating him, like he was actaul legally valid lord? House of Baratheon became, and they became the lords of Stormlands just because Targeryans gave them that power. This is not "liege lord and vassal/conquered lord" relationship as Starks and Bolton had. It is more like "company owner and installed manager" kind of relationship. And it is strange how often Targeryans letting Tullys, Baratheons, Tyrells and Greyjoys forget about it. In my opinion, very titles were mistake. I would understand titles like Lord Warden for Lannisters, Arryns and Starks. These were royal houses that bent the knees. But Tyrells, Tullys, Baratheons and Greyjoys were given power by Targeryans, these were no royals. They should simply be named Lord Steward and Lord Castellan, just to proof the point - they are not vassal lords who bent the knees, they are servents that got their positions from Grace of the crown. In ideal case, Lords Stewards would than have more power than Lord Wardens, yet they should be more legally and factually dependent on the Crown and be under direct foresight of Crown. Lord Wardens could be formally more idenpedent and had more priviliges - but they would pay higher taxes and had their kingdoms interwined with more royal garrisons.

"but that would cause uprising and hatred among people, especially nobility" oh, really? I have news then - people already hated them! Both smallfolk and nobility! They still do in current setting! They would hate them, my ass! This here would be actaully one of moments when Targeryans would be actaully smart for using dragons. This post may seem like critique of Targeryans using dragons. IT IS NOT.

What I criticize is how they decided to use them. Overusing dragons made Targeryans entirely dependent on them, while what they should do is to make dragons as a tool to build and secure a stable, long term political, economical and military institutions for the crown, that would actaul secure future of Targeryan dynasty and would make Seven kingdoms into actaul kingdom. They chose not to do so. And as profesional nitpicker, I am despising them for it.
