  1. [quote name='Artanaro' post='382027' date='Jul 20 2006, 10.24']Here's another good one I haven't gotten around to putting up. If anyone has googled "Davos", they'll learn about a nice ski resort in eastern Switzerland. Now, what does that have to do with our Davos Seaworth, the noble and honourable ex-mercenary in Stannis' company? Well, I have the answer. Near the ski resort is a little town called Davos-Platz. This was the summer home of acclaimed author, Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote the classic, [i]Treasure Island[/i]. In the novel duty is personified by Captain Smollett. He isn't the most charismatic soul, but has both intelligence and integrity, gifts equally bestowed on our Lord Seaworth. There are a few more homages and references I want to put up, but they need quotes, and I don't have the books on hand, so they'll have to wait. Artanaro[/quote] Geez, some of these "homages" you guys come up with make me think you are really playing six degrees of seperation! *giggle*
