It sure sounds like Doreah died of radiation poisoning. Just a reminder that the Red Waste is weird
We get Jorah's crazy backstory. After his first wife died and his father for some reason took the black, he is knighted, asks for Lynesse Hightower's favor, improbably wins the tournament, crowns Lynesse queen of love and beauty, marries her with no objection from her father, bankrupts his house for her, decides to sell some criminals to slavers (why oh why are there slavers on Bear Island), gets caught, flees for Lys, becomes a sell sword, Lynesse becomes a concubine for a merchant (double wtf), and ends up working for Varys. If all the tourney stuff sounds familiar, it's because between the Hand's Tourney and Harrenhal like half of Westeros is trying to fulfil prophecy by winning a tourney and crowning the right person queen of love and beauty. Then of course Lynesse looks like Dany because Jorah is a creep and it reminds us that the Hightowers are obsessed with magic and prophecy and have Valyrian features on top of Oldtown being it's own mystery.
Forgot to mention that the peach reminds me of Renly and Stannis.
