A Storm of Swords – The Conclave

A Storm of Swords – The Conclave

Varys tells Tyrion about the maesters’ conclave in Oldtown. It was fun trying to figure out what this would be like. I tried to imagine what the maester’s council hall would look like. In the end, I used a picture of a the Council of Clermont as my reference.

 I couldn’t resist putting one of Varys’s little birds in plain sight.

The Conclave met in Oldtown behind closed doors, Tyrion knew; its deliberations were supposedly a secret. So Varys has little birds in the Citadel too. “I see. So my father decided to nip the rose before it bloomed.” He had to chuckle. “Pycelle is a toad. But better a Lannister toad than a Tyrell toad, no?”
