Wealth can also be used to buy loyalty, as those who are able to offer more money than their rivals may be able to build a larger army or attract more allies.
Furthermore, wealthy characters are often able to purchase land, build fortifications, and establish castles that can be used as strategic bases of operation.
The theme of wealth creation is so pervasive that Martin emphasises it throughout the timeline of BOTH House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones.
And above all, the series illuminates TRADE as the key to wealth creation.
