Lann The Clever - Tumblr Posts


The Lannisters were an old family, tracing their descent back to Lann the Clever, a trickster from the Age of Heroes who was no doubt as legendary as Bran the Builder, though far more beloved of singers and taletellers. In the songs, Lann was the fellow who winkled the Casterlys out of Casterly Rock with no weapon but his wits, and stole gold from the sun to brighten his curly hair.

In my ‘Lannisters are a symbol of destruction for Targaryens because they’re a force they ignore until it blows on their faces’ era. Most of the times something goes bad for Targs, Lannisters are at fault, usually because they were spited first. No Lannisters at court?Rhaena mistrusting (with reason) of them? Damn, Maegor kills Aegon and she ends up a black bride. Westerlands issues being left unaddressed at Viserys court? Rhaenyra rudely rejecting Jason? There goes the biggest ally for the Green Party and the eventual death of dragons. Aerys dissing Tywin and Cersei? Keeping Jaime a prisioner? Enjoy a sword to your back and the end of your dynasty. Dany killing Cersei and Jaime and still keeping Tyrion by her side? Bam, duty is the death of love.
The Targaryens made a point of keeping them at arms length (probably because a valyrian prophecy about Casterly Rock and the end of their civilization) but somehow they’re always involved when shit goes down for the dragons. Even a dynasty so twisted and focused of glory stays away from the lion’s den. Even a civilization so greedy they worked slaves to death in hellfire mines knew not to mess with the descendants of Lann the clever. In the end, the gold of Casterly Rock really destroyed them.
