If we consider that Westerosian lions died out about a century later than the dragons (which were introduced there by the Targaryens roughly 200 years before the event of HotD), it seems to be a mere coincidence that lions died out in the same time period, after being a deteminating part of the local ecosystem as an apex predator for probably _several hundred thousand_ years.

      The show made him too likeable. In the books he was a weak King who allowed a Civil War to simmer during his reign because of his blind favoritism.
      Both he and his daughter used to cut themselves on the Iron Throne, which indicates that the Throne itself rejected them.

      @@gerardjagroo The only indicator that Rhaenyra ever cut herself on the Throne was from a third hand account of her sitting the throne and apparently having her legs riddled with cuts. The problem is that Rhaenyra sat on the Throne while wearing PLATE MAIL, which means it would be impossible to get an injury like that.
      The Throne doesn't have a mind of its own, but for thematic reasons it usually happens when someone isn't behaving well, Kingly and gets careless. Even Aegon The Conqueror cut himself on the Throne. It's a throne made of swords.

You currently only have one place to hatch dragons and 16 under your control, when you could have multiple sites in case of a disaster. Most of the dragons died because they were only hatched in Valeria, too many eggs in one basket so to speak, why not seek to expand your families power by rebuilding the dragons numbers with a marriage alliance with my house?
