I know this is a bit unrelated, but after reading the quote for Viserys' crowning I was reminded... I really dislike that "Fire cannot kill a dragon" quote. Targaryens are resistant, not immune, to fire/heat. They're humans, not literal dragons. GRRM himself confirmed that Daenerys surviving Drogo's funeral pyre was because of blood magic that only affected her temporarily, even saying "fans read way too much into that part. It was a one-time thing." Plenty of Targaryens (Aerion Brightflame, Aegon V and his son Duncan) have been killed by fire. Hell, Rhaenyra Targaryen was roasted and then eaten by her brother's dragon.

Targaryens = fire resistant, not fire immune. End rant.
