Lann the Clever, the mythical founder of the house, was a trickster, and gained Casterly Rock through trickery, probably by pretending he possessed power he did not. Through the series and its history, the Lannisters have frequently appealed to power they did not have on hand.
This implies that they rely on manipulating other people's perceptions of their strength rather than using the muscle and might they may or may not possess. "Hear me roar." are the House words of the Lannisters. Tywin's daddy Tytos had a rebellion to put down, lots of offspring to take a piece of his wealth, and was generally crap at governing. My wild guess: The Lannisters are poor and their gold mines are mostly depleted. » /r/EarthOfIceAndFire - reminding of GOT This is used to define what the post is about, and to what level of discussion is allowable in the comments.įor more info see the guide and policy.
