Did anyone ever made a list of all (named) characters that die over the course of ASOIAF? Would be interested to see that.

[Whatever]

too much work xD

[Rahvin20]

I actually made a list as I did a read through a few years back. I had only made it as far as A Storm of Swords though. You can really see the escalation as the series goes on. For comparison, the first 3 books of the Wheel of Time had a combined 24 named deaths.

Impressive!  Bravo, sir.

Yeah, what he said.

[Corvinus]

WOW, really impressive. It took an effort just to read the list.
But I think you have an error. You listed Beric Dondarrion in the Clash of Kings list. He is permanently dead now, but it happened only after the Red Wedding, and you learn about it only in AFFC.

[Donkeycow]

so many dead haha, i would not have guessed so many named characters died throughout the books haha.

I wasn't sure what to do with him since he dies so many times, so I just counted the first time he was said to have been killed.

[Brude]

That makes sense, considering you also count Catelyn as "dead."

[Phobos]

After reading that list it now rings more true.

The common people suffer, when you Lords and Ladies play the game of Thrones.  I know that isnt the exact quote, but you get the gist of it.

[Middlejon]

I'm probably totally misremembering, but Davos' many sons were killed in A Clash of Kings weren't they?

I was counting them as they were confirmed. They were all killed in the battle of the Blackwater at the end of A Clash of Kings, but Davos doesn't learn of their fate until the beginning of A Storm of Swords.

[Buckwheat]

Congratulations. Now that I have seen the list, I actually feel a little bit sorry for choosing myself this name ... As Phobos said, now it feels more true ...

BTW, why is Syrio Forel not on the list?

[Whatever]

I think for the same reason why Benjen is also not on the list... there is no proof of their deaths (and there are also a lot of theories in which both Syrio and Ben are still alive)

[ph2586]

How many POV deaths?????

[evanesco75]

Ned

Catelyn


Maester Cressen

Pate

That arse from the NW who died when the Others came (name escapes me)


Can't think of anymore.

Just the good Lord and Lady Stark I believe....I mean besides all the one off POVs.

Waymar Royce?  Though he was an obnoxious blue blood he was not that much of an arse.  He died bravely.

But I guess you mean Will since he was the actual POV character.  Not really an arse either, really.

[evanesco75]

No, this is in SOS. Opening chapter, when they're going to the Fingers... the dude who w2anted to rebel against Mormont, remember? The first chappie was from his POV.

[evanesco75]

Yes, Will. Sorry, missed the last bit of your post!
