- brianwawok 10y agoWasn't that movie only? I read book longer before but I never remembered the empty vault thing...
- ciroduran 10y agoIn the TV show there is Xaro Xhoan Daxos http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Xaro_Xhoan_Daxos http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Xaro_Xhoan_Daxos
- brianwawok 10y agoXaro was in the books, but his plot was totally different. At no point did he open a giant empty vault.
