In “Driftmark,” Corlys assured Lucerys, his “natural-born” grandson, that the Driftwood Throne would pass to him, considering Laena’s death and Laenor’s then-current title as future King Consort. Now, they’re gathering again, this time to contest or assert the succession of the heir to Driftmark, a title whose value and power we’ve been told about ad nauseum, though we’ve never really seen that strength in action.

What does the Sea Snake say to the god of death? Well, we’re not really sure, but the hubbub surrounding his potential demise has been enough to unsettle the entire monarchy (again), send Targaryens leaping from island to island (again), and gather the whole crew for one cozy little melee (again).
