The age of hero’s is fucking awesome, it’s basically just Skyrim, but in Westeros. It’s cool as fuck.

Cannibal is my favorite, he's a menace

[roguecrow]

Noticable thing about the cannibal, the day of corlys velaryon funeral the mighty dragon showed up and allegedly flew overheard in salute .

[hahaimout]

Ancient Westerosi were built different

[Chriswatt]

In the og game of thrones sir Davos is talking to stanis daughter about the knight who polished his shield story a they say the dragon saw a dumb man holding a shield a he got burnt to a crisp

[CreatiTech]

Man i kinda wanna see more of those supposed sea dragons.

[scotmac]

Tying a dragons 🐉 neck in a knot 🪢 lol. Def legendary. Can't believe the dragon let him do that 😅

[thezestyshrimp]

So we're really just gonna ignore that there's a guy named "Crack Bones" and he was so strong he tied a dragons neck like a cherry stem? Guy sounds like an absolute unit

Cannibal wasnt in Westeros vefore the Targaryens. Thats only one theory/legend but is considered an exaggeration from common folks by many of the scholars. They say Cannibal is smaller than Vhagar (as its describe as the biggest dragon at her time) and Balerion (the biggedt of all Dragons in Westeros), probably similar in size to Vermithor.

Adjusting size with birth data you gues Cannibal couldnt have been in Westeros before the Targaryens. So he probably was born during the conquest or shortly before/shortly after. Some say it could be the dragon born from Maegor's egg that he rejected to claim Balerion.

Fighting using mirror shield is like fighting a hansome dragon

[malptheg]

George RR is simply the GOAT. He created all of this.

[blazeblade]

Almost 100 percent of the stories about someone killing a dragon are most likely just stories

[comrade_marshal]

First Men truly had big balls. Imagine moving to an unknown continent with no human settlement on the vast land and the land being populated by large weirwood forests and in it magical creatures called Children of Forest and mighty Giants. Sad that they were easily succumbed to the Andals, though the Andals had iron and heavier gears to aid in their conquest.
First Men had seen and endured many things which the Andals were fortunate enough to not witness in their daily lives

If I could choose a mount during the Dance, it would def be the Cannibal.

[danshotguns]

So cool.... Who doesn't like dragons and talking about them and seeing cool pictures of them?

[OcarinaSapphr-]

Except for the fact that knights *didn't* exist in the era of the First Men, not before the Andal invasion- so there were no Sers going dragon-slaying in the Age of Heroes; _maybe_ there were warriors/ armies who fought & won against tough odds, &/ or duels with a foe- & the event was later poetically personified as an individual against a terrifying beast, to exemplify how great the feat was...

[Bestialce]

HBO could make an anthology series with every season dedicated to a kingdom/people in ASOAIF. So much information there

[nickkangtaylorb]

Missed one!! We know that Florian, an ancient story, must include a dragon since it was reference in Dunk and Egg when the puppeteer performs a play

[rogue]

How tf did cannibal survive once prime balerion showed up did he just hibernate till balerion kicked the bucket or did he just not want the smoke?

[gorlithia]

Urrax and Serwyn was probably a reference to the slaying of the basilisk in Greek legends
