Ser RoddyRuinuous Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The best man in the realm! Good ol' Septon Meribald risks his life to bring oranges to the people of the Riverlands. Also, the 'broken man' speech. It left me in tears. Is there another character in ASOIAF who is as honestly good as Meribald? If so, please tell me. I think he wins.

ciliate Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Podrick Payne. But he's the only other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword of the Morgan Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yeah, Meribald is awesome. Totally selfless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRider Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Septon Meribald is cool and deserves some appreciation! His travels with Bri & Co provide a nice respite from the war and killing and torture plus his simple, basic humanity is refreshing. He is of course, a broken man, but one who has found a way to heal and serve. He and the EB are the 'broken man' bookends. SM provides the story for the psychological damages that come from war and violence that can break a man, and the EB tells us of the physical and near death damages from war that can break a man. Both aspects are important and each deserves the chapter given to them. When SM or the EB is compared with, say, the High Sparrow or some of the other militant religious folks in the story, I'm glad GRRM included them. Their compassion and humanity show brightly against the darker type of authoritarian punishment based approach of the HS. Makes for quite a contrast. I hope we see Septon Meribald and Dog again! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernmonkey Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Brienne meets all the nicest people. Meribald, Pod, Nimble Dick, Elder Brother, Hyle Hunt. I guess she meets a lot of bad eggs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merunka is the Fury Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 This discussion is one of the reasons I cringe when folks bad mouth the Brienne AFfC stuff. Her time with SM,and on the QI are some of the best "small folks" perspective we get. I really have to say big up to SM. And Dog, he sounds just like my first dog, Neville. Nice choice OP!

Cladinator Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah, Meribald is a pretty cool dude. As mentioned above, Podrick Payne is a pretty good guy as well. The only character that I can think of that kind of compares is the guy that shares his cave and food with Bran, Hodor, Meera, and Jojen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
