True of everything if you wait long enough

“Doesn’t look very comfortable,” Jannet Tarner said as she peered through the glass case at the remains of the Iron Throne, still in pride of place at the Museum of Kings Landing more than two hundred years after the founding of the Republic of Westeros. It had been treated for rust a few decades ago, and the crack in its foundation where it was toppled had been repaired as well as could be. The cushions added by the last Empress’s father were sadly irreparable.

The security guards in gold-stripe jackets watched the tourists parade past, on their way to the exhibition of a recently unearthed “dragon” skeleton.

Strange the things people believed in and fought for back in the day.
