And that's before you consider House Lannister's strength in global trade and capital markets. "Whoever can control trade with the Free Cities can become quite wealthy," says Whitehead. In the show, the dominant Iron Bank of Braavos is located offshore. Whitehead compares the fictional bank to the Medicis in 15th century Europe-both financiers wield more power than kings. "That's why I think they've got the edge, going into the final season.
In addition to the dragons, the most valuable assets in the world, Daenerys Targaryen enters the concluding chapter of the story in control of House Lannister's Casterly Rock and the cities of Slaver's Bay. She has a large fighting force. While not necessarily relevant to our final valuation, Daenerys also controls the island fortress of Dragonstone, which sits atop a potentially valuable commodity: dragonglass.

Euron Greyjoy's pledge to build 1,000 ships at the end of Season 6 is clearly hyperbole, according to military experts. Still, boats are valuable, particularly when used for such things as trading rather than raiding, and the growth of this fleet indicates a rise in the ruling family's fortune.The sandy region of Dorne is limited in population and in arable land.
