The process does appear "deeper" from the texts you've quoted. E.g. the kingsmoots can go on for days, and there seems to be a lot more jostling between contenders making their cases, and the political power of the priests is more apparent. That was a great, comprehensive answer - thank you - the cited text is inspiring me to pick up the books (I've only experienced the TV adaptation so far). | |

| Nov 29, 2018 at 21:26 | comment | added | Skooba | @StoneThrow I'll add in what they did in the interim, it was like normal lineage father to son. The trouble was Balon had no sons left. I'll find the quotes to back myself up. | |

| Nov 29, 2018 at 21:12 | comment | added | StoneThrow | If the Kingsmoot hadn't been performed in a long time, how was leadership claimed in the interim? I'm assuming "a long time" means a period longer than just since Balon Greyjoy became king...that assumption seems somewhat supported by the content and tone of the text you've cited. | |
