Synopsis
Aeron Greyjoy, in the chapter referred to as the "prophet" is drowning men at a beach. This a practice in which a worshiper of the Drowned God is held below the water until he passes out. The priest then reanimates him. Through this initiation the person is stronger:
- “What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger.” —Aeron Damphair[1]
Gormond Goodbrother appears to bring Aeron to Lord Goodbrother. Aeron declines but when the messenger tell him the king, Aeron's brother, is dead he goes with him. During the journey Aeron remember his brothers. His father married three times. The sons of his first wife died young. The eldest son from his second marriage was the strongest and fiercest of the remaining. Aeron admired Balon although there were not close in their youth.
When they arrive at Lord Goodbrother's hall Aeron demands that all people are send away so he and Gorold Goodbrother can talk. Lord Goodbrother insists that his maester will stay as well. Aeron disagrees and prepares to leave himself but the maester stops him by informing him that Euron Greyjoy has occupied the Seastone Chair. Aeron is shocked. He remembers his brother but with little love. Goodbrother wants advice who to support but Aeron want to pray first and goes to Pebbleton.
Again Aeron thinks back to his youth. He was not a very religious man but rather a drunken sod. This changed when he fell overboard in a sea battle during Balon's Rebellion. He almost drowned and became a devoted follower of the Drowned God. Aeron had discussed the succession with Balon. Thought Balon had wanted his daughter to succeed him Aeron did not agree. Theon was a weakling and probably dead. Balon's eldest brother, Euron is ungodly and Aeron hates him. Thus Aeron makes up his mind, it must be Victarion.
A few day later Aeron has arrived at Pebbleton and starts to preach. Asha has also claimed the throne. Now Aeron's followers and a number of lords look to him for advice who to support. During his preaching he finds his inspiration: the Ironman should elect the king in a Kingsmoot as they did in the old days. Every captain is to go to the hills of Nagga the ancient place where the old kings were chosen. Aeron hear his followers take up his call and knows he has done the right thing.
