Game Of Thrones Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Quote by Damphair about Balon:At ten he scaled the Flint Cliffs to the Blind Lord's haunted tower.If he wanted to attack the Flints of Flint's Finger, why didn't Balon just sail up Saltspear? So I don't think the Blind Lord of the haunted tower was a Flint.And look at the capitalization. "Blind Lord" is capitalized but "haunted tower" is not. So Damphair's not talking about a place called the Haunted Tower whose lord is blind, he's talking about a castle that is haunted and ruled by a lord known as the Blind Lord.Just worldbuilding? Or will this Blind Lord reappear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I read that as some sort of air vent that makes noise causing people to create rumors of ghosts. I doubt there is even a real keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there is even a real keep. There is at least a tower, and a lord of the tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Aimry Hill Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It's possible the Lord is an old dead legend or historical episode (compare Lord Harroway's Town) - so, especially considering Balon's age, I always interpreted this as an athletic, rather than military feat!

Very possible, didn't think of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
