I don’t like any of the main faiths. The Seven are intolerance incarnate, R’hlorr and the old gods both demand grisly sacrifices (stringing up entrails in weirwoods and burning people alive, respectively), and the assassin death cult is exactly that, a death cult. I’d embrace Stannis’s atheism, personally, but if I have to pick a religion, I’m going straight to the Summer Isles.

Borroq was apparently a mature adult when Varamyr was ten years old. I’ve seen a lot of fan art of Varamyr which portray him as a wizened old man, but then how old must Borroq be, then? But there’s no indication that he’s especially old when Jon Snow meets him. Do skinchangers just age differently or was Varamyr younger than assumed?

Westerosi Superiority ... or Inferiority?
James Steller replied to KingoftheRiversandtheHills's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Superior: no slaves (except the Ironborn, arguably) Inferior: intolerance towards many religions and other races, patriarchal feudal society, hang ups regarding sex, almost no class mobility (To be clear, I’m using Braavos and the Summer Isles as my barometer for the ways in which Westeros is inferior. I know most places in Essos have similarly severe issues) -

Who will be the Winged Knights ?
James Steller replied to Terrorthatflapsinthenight9's topic in General (ASoIaF)
I doubt we’ve been introduced to all eight knights yet. They’re probably gonna be new characters, most of them, relatives to the houses we’ve already been introduced to. -
Apparently wolves can’t see red or green, so that’s some clever attention to detail on GRRM’s part.

Wow. Shows you what I know, I guess. Though I do wonder about those animals who don’t see colour. Would a warg be able to see colour through their eyes or not?
-
I can’t recall how it goes in the books, but when characters warg into animals, can they still see colour? Far as I recall, wolves don’t have colour vision, nor do cats or bears. Did GRRM keep that in mind or is it just another aspect of warg magic?

New Military Strength of the North/Jon Snow
James Steller replied to YeniAy_Ottoman's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Probably for the best. We nitpick enough as it is, heh. If things are vague, then GRRM can dredge up details when he needs them and it isn’t a contradiction. That’s why the Manderlys, Ryswells and Dustins suddenly have most of their strength intact and are also very powerful houses to boot. -
I can’t recall if he ever completed his knighthood or if he was attending the tourney purely on the privilege of being a prince.

Not even Vaegon? -

I know such a thing is impossible to determine properly, but I feel like there are some obvious examples. Vaegon and Aerys I, for example, strike me very much as people with some level of autism (assuming that’s still the correct way of saying it, and I’m very sorry if it isn’t). Stannis could possibly be another one; someone else on this forum speculated as much and they made a compelling case for it. Any others?

I’m mostly a fan of House Blackwood, except for Brynden Rivers. One of the most repulsive and evil characters that GRRM ever created. On the other hand, I’m mostly indifferent to House Bracken. I have especially mixed feelings about Bittersteel. Yes, he’s partly responsible for the Blackfyre Rebellion, but he’s still better than Bloodraven.

Stannis would be proud. Joking aside, I firmly agree that the Old Way is awful and needs to be expunged from people’s mindsets. The II need to be dragged kicking and screaming out of that belief system.
