S6E08 vad var det som Cersei och Qyburn talade om?

Vi kan bara spekulera tills någonting visas, vilket sannolikt inte kommer att hända i S06E09; Jag misstänker att fyrverkerierna kommer att reserveras för (extra lång) säsongsfinalen. Men

• går av Qyburns ord:

  "Your Grace... that old rumor you told me about."

  (notera "gamla"),

• titta på vad som sägs nästa:

  Qyburn: My little birds investigated.

  Cersei: And? Was it just a rumor or something more?

  Qyburn: More. Much more.

  (med "mer" som tyder på att han talar om volymen av något),

• och titta på sammanhanget (Cersei letar efter sätt att besegra trogenen),

Jag kan bara tänka på en sak: Wildfire .

Det finns mycket av det under huvudstaden (citat från Wikia):

While convalescing at Harrenhal, Jaime Lannister reveals to Brienne of Tarth that the real reason he killed Mad King Aerys II Targaryen is because he was planning on burning the entire capital city to ashes with wildfire, rather than let it fall to the rebels. When it began to appear that the rebels would win the war, the Mad King had his pyromancers hide caches of wildfire all over King's Landing - under the Great Sept of Baelor, under the slums of Flea Bottom, under houses, stables, taverns, and even under the Red Keep itself.

Det finns lite förvarning i Jaims ord någon annanstans i episoden, i hans konversation med Edmure Tully:

I suppose all mothers do, but Catelyn and Cersei, there's a fierceness you don't often see. They'd do anything to protect their babies. Start a war. Burn cities to ash. Free their worst enemies. The things we do for love.

I "The Bear and the Maiden Fair", en episod från den tredje säsongen (S03E07), Jaime antyder också att katastrofen han avstod :

Denrelevantadelen:

Qyburn: How many men have you killed, my lord?

Jaime: I don't know.

Qyburn: 50? 100? Countless.

Jaime: Countless has a nice ring to it.

Qyburn: And how many lives have you saved?

Jaime: Half a million. The population of King's Landing.

NoteraocksåTyrionsordtillDaenerysi S06E09, "Battle of the Bastards" :

You once told me you knew what your father was. Did you know his plans for King's Landing when the Lannister armies were at his gates? Probably not. Well, he told my brother and Jaime told me. He had caches of wildfire hidden under the Red Keep, the Guildhalls, the Sept of Baelor, all the major thoroughfares. He would have burned every one of his citizens. The loyal ones and the traitors. Every man, woman, and child. That's why Jaime killed him.

I "Winds of Winter", säsongen sex finalen (S06E10), lär vi oss vilka rykten Qyburn och Cersei hänvisade till:

Ser Gregor Clegane prevents King Tommen from leaving the royal palace to attend the trial of Ser Loras Tyrell and Cersei Lannister in the Great Sept of Baelor. Queen Margaery Tyrell, Lord Mace Tyrell, and Ser Kevan Lannister are already there amongst many spectators, as well as the High Sparrow.

Finally the Sparrows bring Ser Loras in. After his trial is done, Lancel tells the High Sparrow that Cersei has yet to leave the Red Keep, so the High Sparrow asks him to go retrieve her. As Lancel is walking out, one of the "little birds" lures him away into the area below the Sept. There, Lancel discovers a cache of wildfire about to be set off.

Margaery, realizing something is very wrong with the fact that neither Cersei nor Tommen are at the trial, confronts the High Sparrow. She tells him that it's a trap, but he does not listen. Margaery tells everyone in the Sept they need to leave immediately, but the Faith Militant prevent anyone from exiting. Lancel does not make it to the wildfire in time, and the Sept explodes, killing everyone inside and outside of it as well as levelling most of the surrounding area.

Denna omgång av händelserna baseras i stor utsträckning på den som finns i Wikia av episoden.
