![]() House Lannister literally survived on false pretence by using other people to do their dirty work. However, no one cared more about public opinion, whom Tywin called sheep than the Lannisters. Jaime was the most honourable Lannister although no one noticed as they were not willing to overlook his reputation as the Kingslayer. Those are the words that Tywin told Jaime when he claimed fear of public opinion as the reason for not killing Eddard Stark. A Lion Doesn’t Concern Himself With The Affairs Of The Sheep If all the crimes committed by House Lannister in Game of Thrones were to be paid in full, even the death of all Lannisters couldn’t pay for it. While they had gold, that saying meant something because they could settle their creditors, but not after their mines run dry. Tywin Lannister killed Ellia Martell and her children and sought to kill all of the Mad King’s children including Daenerys. Tywin rode to King’s Landing and sacked it killing all the Targaryens. In fact, the Lannisters were the first to betray the Targaryen Dynasty after the Battle of The Trident. Not all Lannisters paid their debts though. In the words of Tyrion Lannister, the greatest debt the Lannisters owed were their lives and they owed it to the Targaryens since Aegon the conqueror spared Loren Lannister’s life. The truth is, what was dead was just dead. However, if an Ironborn died at sea, they went to feast with their god although the Ironborn including Balon didn’t seem so eager to meet this god. So who exactly were these dead that could never die?Īccording to their faith, if their enemies drowned, they were vanquished by the Drowned God and so they were really dead. The Ironborn died just like any other Westerosi as did their enemies. Euron then claimed to be the Drowned God come to life which was false because he himself didn’t even die in the sea. What Is Dead May Never DieĮuron Greyjoy said those words to his brother Balon just before he killed him. ![]() So why were the Iron Born so eager to die for a god that didn’t even care about them? The Iron Born aren’t the only ones whose words didn’t make sense though. Everyone could die, Iron Born or not, and even the dead died when stabbed with Valyrian steel or dragon glass. However, if you look at those words in the light of the events in Game of Thrones, you realize they didn’t make any sense. Those words meant so much to the Ironborn that they started a rebellion against the crown and burned all the septs in the Iron Islands when the High Septon tried to change them. She was referring to the white walkers which were the only know dead that didn’t remain dead. But kill those bastards anyway,” Yara told her little brother as he left to defend Bran in the Battle of Winterfell.
