White Harbors Wrath Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Has anyone been able to figure out whose markers those are yet? The ones from the episode 7 promo pics as well as season 5 trailers and probably elsewhere? They seem to be a sword hilt through a round disc...people keep claiming they're Greyjoy, which makes even less sense than usual for them to suddenly be in the mix. I'm guessing Arryn or Sellswords.

dielsis Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 http://calliander.net/stuff/stannis-map-markers-zoom.png Doesn't provide any extra detail and there's no "enhance, enhance … enhance" here. Definitely a sword through some kind of circular/oval item. Has to be sellswords. There's no way Littlefinger is back with the Vale yet, right?

Northbound3.0 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Either way, who ever they are; they looked to be surrounded. There is a single Bolton marker on the left half of map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dielsis Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Yeah, I'll bet that's Ramsay on a sneak flanking attack and that's why we saw him with the blood makeup in front of the Baratheon tents for that interview. Mannis fans better prep, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Harbors Wrath Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I was trying to guage what direction that map is facing...could that single map marker just be The Dreadfort and the double markers be Winterfell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Harbors Wrath Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Actually that might make sense looking at the blown up image I noticed the ship would be the general direction of Eastwatch and Stannis' (currently Jons) ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also considering the lakes on the west of the map at about the same latitude I'd say that the 4 surrounded markers are around Hornwood, but the Hornwood's sigil is an elk. I was thinking Manderly's forces? But the sigil of Manderlys is the triton king... :( no clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Emperor of Yi Ti Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 well Yara seems to be putting in an appearance this episode, if IMDB are to be believed- ambush on Stannis' camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Harbors Wrath Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Well the two "right middle" are definitely the flaming heart....it's the two next to it in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet199 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think the lone Bolton marker is definitely the Dreadfort. The two together must be Winterfell and some other Bolton forces. In the preview video, at 14 secs, one of the Bolton markers is knocked over, which I'm thinking is a good thing. The unknown markers are probably sellswords. They also appear on this trailer at 40 secs. They look like coins and swords to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metopheles Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 coin+sword = sellswords from the Iron Bank. Stannis asked for funding and got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pope Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 coin+sword = sellswords from the Iron Bank. Stannis asked for funding and got it. I am in agreement here. We know he got funded because Davos paid the pirates to bring his army to westeros. I think the flaming hearts and the swords/coins are all part of Stannis's force. Also, the dreadfort is to the east of Winterfell, so if the single flayed man is the Dreadfort, that would give us some refernce to the layout of the map. This also makes sence that stannis would be betwwen the Dreadfort and Winterfell because the King's Road runs between them. I doubt the single flayed man is Moat Cailin, because that means Stannis would be attacking Winterfell from the south. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny__bravo Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Glad there has been a thread started on this, has been bugging me too since the trailer came out.Agree with most of whats been said already, we have the flayed man and the fiery heart but the discwith the sword through it is problematic. Definitely not a kraken map markerhttp://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130528234914/gameofthrones/images/1/1d/Greyjoy_Map-marker.jpg This is the promo picture from the next episode, note Stannis has the mystery marker in his hand http://watchersonthewall.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/GOT507_120914_HS_DSC_76701.jpg Sellsword company might be a good shout, could even be the Golden Company, as Davos proposedthem to Stannis in the past and ther banner has a spear on it. http://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/thumb/e/e4/Golden_Company_pike.png/100px-Golden_Company_pike.png If you look at Stannis' map he has 3 flayed man map markers (say 1 at the Dreadfort, two at Winterfell), two fiery heart and two mystery markers.Go back to episode 5 when Roose is talking to Ramsey about the looming battle, Roose has 4 fiery heart markers at Castle Black, 5 flayed men on the map altogther (1 at the Dreadfort, 3 at Winterfell and one further down the map say at Moat Cailin). However if Stannis is to be believed they have more men and more horses (right now at least) so Iam not sure the markers are adding up here on the Boltons side, however on both Stannis map and Roose' there is 4 markers for possible Baratheon forces.Could also simply be that Stannis has different markers for his different forces, infantry, cavalry, navy etc. It's anyones guess at this stage, Northern lords, Littlefinger, Wildings, Rickon, Gendry, judging by what Davos was carving in episode 5 the Company of the Cat might even spring us a suprise!

aFeastForDragons Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I'm going to go with sellswords. Even if the show didn't explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king 0f the north Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I think they are the titan of bravos so his sellswords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metopheles Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I am curious what markers were in one of the trailers. They looked like krakens, but slimmer and taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yeah, now that it's been mentioned those swords look like they're on a base of stacked coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Deleted] Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yep, I always thought those were sellswords from the first time I saw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
