"You Sound Quite Jealous."

What is this brief mortal life if not the pursuit of legacy?

I want my child to be born where I was born, at Driftmark, in my lord father’s castle. I want my daughters to be raised in their homeland with their family according to their birthright. And at my end, I want to die a dragonrider’s death.

CALL VERMAX TO HEEL, PRINCE JACAERYS

You have your honor and I have mine.
