Ser Creighton Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Dear lord. I have just saw that hashtag for WOIAF... So, relieved... Whatever it is, I don't care as much as I would care ASOIAF long-term theory... NO... That's all I am going to say on a subject. Gods only know how stupid I feel right now... :)Don't say no, I think the Wights may be reanimated by the Others using whatever it is they use for blood, which would draw a parallel to the Valyrians.

Werthead Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If it's a long standing one then it's surely one which begun before Dance, so nothing to do with Aegon. Aegon's survival has been guessed and discussed on these boards (or their forebears) since ACoK came out in October 1998, so yeah, that'd be pretty long-standing ;) That said, if it's WoIaF-related, it likely won't be anything to do with that at all.

Red Raven Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 IIRC the Daynes are descended from the First Men and can track their history back about 10,000 years. They just happen to be non-Valyrians with silver hair and purple eyes. I think GRRM put them in there to give Jon plausible deniability in case Jon was born looking like Rhaegar. "The platinum hair and violet eyes...uh...Ashara Dayne was his mother. Yeah." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always ask him, then say you won't tell anyone, then tell us and we will keep it a secret for you and Ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterbumps! Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 IIRC the Daynes are descended from the First Men and can track their history back about 10,000 years.

"The platinum hair and violet eyes...uh...Ashara Dayne was his mother. Yeah." I brought up the Daynes thing because I saw Ran mention proto-Valyrians as a theory of their origins. The specifics aren't the issue-- this whole teaser thing is basically a deductive logic problem if you want to make educated guesses on the answer. Think about theories you've seen Ran argue for, and then narrow those down to theories that pertain to world-building rather than the ASOIAF plot. I gave the 2 theories that fit this criteria I knew of, but if you have better knowledge of his theories, then more can be added. Anyway, dragonblood, you heard it here.

Mladen Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We all need to think like the bumps now, don't we? :P I have skimmed the links and read the line without the hashtags... And thought it is ASOIAF related... TBH, I am not as interested in WOIAF as I am in ASOIAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Abstract Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Actually, it would be hysterical if R+L=J was revealed through this supplemental book. I hope that's what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to find threads where Ran generally isn't so I don't know his pet theories. I defer to you on that. I just wanted to share what I came across about the Daynes.

The Crow's Third Eye Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm hazarding a guess at someone's ancestor, or something to do with a family tree. Ned's Mother or Prince of Dragonflies or who Aegon V wed or something? Idk, but really looking forward to the book actually, more than I thought I would. Also, no idea what Ran's theories are, does anyone actually know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanna Stormborn Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I really don't see the point in doing a teaser like this. In fact, I disagree with it, as I did telling us that Sansa's next chapter is controversial. cuz poor sansa is gonna be raped by HRH :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolkboy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 cuz poor sansa is gonna be raped by HRH :( well if GoHH vision of the snowcastle was a red herring and it was really Sansa at winterfell - she was still a maid in the vision. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyti_Von_Totiy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Actually, it would be hysterical if R+L=J was revealed through this supplemental book. I hope that's what happens. R+L=J is by far the worst keept secret in the history of franchises. Atleast George Lucas droped his suprise with quickness and style. RR Martin is 10 years behind his fanbase on this one even the TV show watchers are becoming aware of it trough Youtube spoilers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. And it's funny to me. And no GOT/ASOIAF posting or article can exist anywhere on the web without 1000 comments containing this factpothesis.
