1. In the original GOT series, they introduced the Scorpion as some sort of new technology designed to fight off a dragon. Ok, great. Maybe it was poor writing, innaccurate, or im just mis-remembering, but i swear they made it seem like it was new tech.

2. So then we go back in time to HoD and they're discussing using Scorpions. Whoa....ok, so they WEREN'T new technology, they had them hundreds of years prior to GOT? Sure, i mean that makes MORE sense really since there woulda been more dragons around and thus a bigger need. But of course that's a major contradiction.

3. So....if we know Dragons are the biggest threat to pretty much every kingdom in the world....how is every castle NOT guarded by a slew of Scorpion ballistas?

In a series so well written....the fact that Scorpions are nowhere to be found is some serious unspoken plot armor.

I seem to recall that In GOT times giant dragons were just as much historical myth as they were fact for large parts of the population. It doesn’t seem that unreasonable that it would take time to rediscover a defense for them once they finally actually show up.

And I can totally buy the idea that if you do post dragon defenses you are basically advertising you don’t support Targaryens or their allies and are happy to invite a fight. Probably not the best idea.

Dorne definitely had them during Aegon the Conqueror’s lifetime. They killed one his sister’s dragons, Meraxes, with a scorpion, IIRC. There’s some badass art of the aftermath.

I recently read about Meraxes death. Don't know much about that storyline/period. That's a dope pic.

Agreed.

Imagine the guy who let that bolt fly.. he probably fathered so many Sands off the strength of that kill lol

The Dornish were actually super badass. They were the only kingdom who didn’t get conquered by Aegon and his sisters.

Yea, it really makes the Dornish sound even more badass, especially considering they never had to deal with a ****ing dragon before Aegon came to Westeros (right? Lol).
