1. King Aegon Targaryen II
No change at the top but Aegon is barely holding on at this point. He will soon be overwhelmed and subsequently lose the top spot, and once he does, I doubt he ever gets back to it.
2. Ser Criston Cole
Cole has exercised his newfound influence as Hand of the King immediately by marching an army towards the Riverlands.
3. Lord Larys Strong
Larys has slithered his way into Aegon’s absolute trust and is now officially on the Small Council as Master of Whisperers.
4. Queen Alicent Hightower
Alicent still has some say, but with Cole now willing to challenge her, she must consolidate her relationship with Aegon or risk falling out of favor completely.
5. Prince Aemond Targaryen
No change for now but Aegon’s continued harassment looks like it has awakened the beast in Aemond.
6. Ser Otto Hightower
No appearance, but those under Otto have not done enough to move up.
7. Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen
Rhaenyra’s judgement is now openly questioned by her Council as she insists on a passive policy. Hopefully her ill-advised visit to King’s Landing snaps her out of it.
8. Princess Rhaeyns Targaryen
Rhaenys has cemented herself as Rhaenyra’s most-trusted advisor. Too bad her advice is no good.
9. Prince Daemon Targaryen
Daemon moves back into the top 10 for claiming Harrenhal. Although with the castle in abysmal shape and the Greens fast approaching, he may be in trouble.
10. Lord Tyland Lannister
No contribution.
11. Lord Corlys Velaryon
No contribution.
12. Mysaria
Mysaria’s loyalty has been rewarded with a place on Rhaenyra’s council.
13. Princess Baela Targaryen
Baela moves up a few spots owing to her willingness to sound judgement. She did not engage, as commanded, but she found a way to be of use nonetheless.
14. Jacaerys Velaryon
No contribution.
15. Ser Gwayne Hightower
Gwayne debuts well outside of the top-10. He should be a capable knight, but he’s also obviously green.
16. Lord Borros Baratheon
No appearance.
17. Lord Jasper Wylde
No contribution.
18. Lord Simon Strong
Also making his debut is Simon Strong, Castellan of Harrenhal. He doesn’t have much going for him but he had the sense to pledge his allegiance to Rhaenyra upon Daemon’s arrival.
19. Queen Helaena Targaryen
No contribution.
20. Grand Maester Orwyle
No contribution.
20. Princess Rhaena Targaryen
Rhaena’s been sent off to the Vale with Rhaenyra’s kids, a couple of baby dragons, and four eggs.
20. Ser Harrold Westerling
No appearance.
N/A. Joffrey Velaryon
Rhaenyra’s third son.
N/A. Prince Viserys Targaryen II
Daemon and Rhaenyra’s first son together.
N/A. Prince Aegon Targaryen III
Daemon and Rhaenyra’s second son together.
