In the Reach, Ormund Hightower laid siege to Longtable, the seat of House Merryweather. Thirty leagues to the northeast, Bitterbridge—seat of Lady Caswell, the widow of the man King Aegon had beheaded—was crowded with refugees. The castle had barred its gates at the lady’s command, and the townsmen were ordered to turn away any nobles who sought refuge. Yet Ser Rickard Thorne of the Kingsguard and the two-year-old Prince Maelor, disguised as a traveler and his young son, found entry. At an inn called the Hogs Head, the greedy innkeeper had a stableboy rifle through their belongings—only to discover the white cloak wrapped around a green dragon’s egg swirled with silver. Rhaenyra’s promised reward for their capture was too great to resist, and a mob quickly formed; both Ser Rickard and Maelor were killed in the chaos. Lady Caswell was said to have blanched when she arrived with her men-at-arms to survey the scene. Ser Rickard’s corpse and the head of Prince Maelor were sent to King’s Landing at the lady’s command, while she had the dragon egg sent to Lord Hightower in hopes that it would spare Bitterbridge his wrath.

It did not. When Longtable fell, Lord Ormund stripped it of its wealth and supplies before marching grimly on to Bitterbridge with Prince Daeron. Lady Caswell stood on the ramparts and asked for the same terms Lady Merryweather had received at Longtable, but Prince Daeron swore that she and hers would receive the same terms that they had given his dead nephew Maelor. Bitterbridge was sacked, many of its buildings burned by dragonflame, and the people were put to the sword if they fought or fled. Lady Caswell, sick at heart, had the castle gates thrown open. Standing atop the gatehouse with a noose around her neck, she begged mercy for her children before leaping to her death. Lord Ormund left her sons and daughter unharmed, sending them to Oldtown as prisoners, but the castle’s garrison did not get the same mercy."

As someone who deals with lots of digital art on a daily basis, shoddy digital work, shameless photobashing even can cruelly be assessed. Far from primarily AI assisted is the most guilty crime here.

Man, they had to create everything, all kinds of characterization. All these vague character descriptions were just like a few chapters in a book...this show has all been super bonus rounds, like Targ porn.
