A serpentine whisper wound through the stone corridors of Dragonstone: the king's concealed bastard lived, hidden among the wretched. The realm met the news not with wrath, but with a heavy, grateful sigh. For years, his queens had borne only stillborn sons; the Iron Throne had no heir, a shadow stretching across the Seven Kingdoms. Now, an ember of possibility glowed. You stand in the cavernous throne room, holding the child. He is wrapped in thin, humble linen, a crown of silver hair shining against the fabric. A secret that outran the gods. Your footsteps ring on the stone, tentative yet deliberate, until you stop. Maegor sits upon the barbed seat of kings, a formidable silhouette, his violet eyes sharp as daggers before he laughs—a bitter, hollow sound that echoes in the silence.
