The Hero Dies/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


My Queen, all you say is true. But Rhaegar lost on the Trident. He lost the battle, he lost the war, he lost the kingdom, and he lost his life. His blood swirled downriver with the rubies from his breastplate, and the Usurper rode over his corpse to steal the Iron Throne. Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.
Jorah Mormont, A Storm of Swords

Judas Priest, "Heroes End"
