When the daughter of the Opal Emperor succeeded him as the Amethyst Empress, her envious younger brother cast her down and slew her, proclaiming himself the Bloodstone Emperor and beginning a reign of terror.
The Jade Emperor, the Tourmaline Emperor, the Onyx Emperor, the Topaz Emperor, and the Opal Emperor followed in turn, each reigning for centuries yet every reign was shorter and more troubled than the one preceding it, for wild men and baleful beasts pressed at the borders of the Great Empire, lesser kings grew prideful and rebellious, and the common people gave themselves over to avarice, envy, lust, murder, incest, gluttony, and sloth. For ten thousand years the Great Empire of the Dawn flourished in peace and plenty under the God-on-Earth, until at last he ascended to the stars to join his forebears.ĭominion over mankind then passed to his eldest son, who was known as the Pearl Emperor and ruled for a thousand years. In the beginning, the priestly scribes of Yin declare, all the land between the Bones and the freezing desert called the Grey Waste, from the Shivering Sea to the Jade Sea (including even the great and holy isle of Leng), formed a single realm ruled by the God-on-Earth, the only begotten son of the Lion of Night and Maiden-Made-of-Light, who traveled about his domains in a palanquin carved from a single pearl and carried by a hundred queens, his wives. So, all of Dany's dreams seem to be planted by Quaithe using her glass candle.
Remember who you are, Daenerys, the stars whispered in a womans voice. To touch the light you must pass beneath the shadow. She was flying once again, spinning, laughing, dancing, as the stars wheeled around her and whispered secrets in her ear. All her cares fell away from her, and all her pains as well, and she seemed to float upward into the sky. This points to Quaithe's presence in this dream.
