Lords are more powerful then landed knights both in prestige and political influence. For the most part in incomes too but it would depends on the lands each held. Comparing the Dothraki horselords to the Feudal westori is strange because they have NO political connections what so ever. The Dothraki are very much based on Horde like nations (Golden Horde, Timurids) of the late middle ages. One big thing they have in common is the "pay us tribute or die" political method to other nations. The High Septon would argue he has equal power to any great lord of the kingdom. | ||

He would probably lose that argument unless all the guards in question were religious fanatics And you can ignore the dothraki, I just copied this, its derived from the gurps status system, in which it makes sense. | ||

So before the Starks where Kings, so where the Lannisters, Baretheons, etc. Now where did the Targeryn come from, that is from Valkery (or close) which is where dragons are from and the people that made Valerian steel like the sword Ice (Ned sword) and the dagger they tried to use to stab Bran and the Sword Jon receives for the Commander, etc. The blood of Dragons is just because of there ancestral land is where dragon and other spooky magic was. So any "true" Targeryn is heat immune and said to have the blood of Dragons. There are some family spelling mistakes and locations name erros but that's the gist of it. thx for clearing that up | ||

Well, that is still up for discussion: GRRM has said in an interview that he doesn't intend Dany's heat resistance to be something permanent, but that her walking into the funeral pyre was a unique moment in which magical things were happening. Dany's immunity to fire was one of them. She does have a high tolerance to heat as is emphasized both in the series and in the books by her taking her baths scalding hot, but fire/heat resistance is not supposed to be a genetical trait of Tagaryens according to an interview with GRRM. The white hair and purple eyes (omitted in the series, because purple eyes just look really weird) are described as typical Tagaryen traits... and it is somewhat hinted that their ability to control dragons is also due to some innate affinity with dragons rather than something anybody could learn. | ||

and the nigthswatch scene is kinda weird too ,it doesnt seem that they have enough men to march to war and leave the wall un-manned.. really what do they expect ? they are probably outnumberd,and outclassed by wildlings (wich they migth only talk with to see wtf is going on , they could trade information for opnening the wall for them to leave,and maybe joining forces for the incoming war) but it seems like is just a big scouting crew.. | ||

I dont think that they plan to fight the wildlings. Like you said they are not many men. Their maingoal is to find Benjen Stark because he is still missing. | ||

Tywin still have a huge army, huge enough to take down Robb, and his army is not folding back, he is going to stay in Harenhal, which is a big castle at the frontier between "the north" and "the south". The main problem the Lannisters are facing is that Robb is not alone - which mean Robb in itself is not that huge of a threat if you put aside his strategical qualities. I think you should not consider Robb too much, but more the whole picture : Renly, Stannis, Robb, Tyrion/Joffrey at King Landings, Tywin going to Harenhal with Gregor rampaging. That's basically the "plan" as it is now. Things are great, I'm absolutly blind about what is going to happen next episode. I'm pretty sure we will not see Daenerys until S2 now that we have seen the dragons, or nothing serious. | ||
