9 Most Important Deaths In Game Of Thrones
6. Elia Martell
Elia is probably the most tragic victim of circumstance in the history of the Seven Kingdoms. Not only did her husband kidnap another woman but being chosen to marry Rhaegar offended possibly the most dangerous man in Westeros, Tywin Lannister.
After being shamed by her husband, the rebellion ended in her brutal rape and murder by the mountain. The bodies of her and her children were covered with Lannister cloaks to hide the brutal defilement they had undergone.
Elias death shows that displacing an evil maniac on the throne does not automatically make you good. It also creates tensions between the crown and Dorne. Tensions which at first caused the revenge tear of Prince Oberyn and recently caused the death of Myrcella.
The chain of events that poor Elias death set off is only gaining momentum. There is no telling what horrible events will be brought about because of it. One thing leads to another.
