LadyAlisande Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Dany sends Jorah on a mission to heal himself. So he will be investigating possible cures for grayscale. This will lead him either to the red priestess or some other such red faith mystic, or, since he may be distrustful of dark magic, more likely he will hear about how Shireen was cured in Oldtown and head there -- possibly meeting up with Sam and Gilly, and thus learning that his father Jeor's dying wish was for him to take the Black. Jorah may then be conflicted between his father's wishes and the threat in the north, vs. Dany's orders that he should return to her. What do you think, any other directions Jorah could go? Aside from dying of grayscale, I refuse to accept that as a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymeria-of-Royne Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 This is probable. Doesn't Jorah go to Oldtown in the books? Everyone knows Oldtown is where the Citadel exists and that's where he will find a Maester to heal him. I agree this is very possible and yes, I agree, meet Sam and find out about his father, the White Walkers and then after being healed run to Dany to serve her and tell her to bring her Dragons to the REAL fight, to save the WHOLE world where he expects her to rule for sure with her Dragons! YEAH!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo Kressh Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 IDK, I think Jorah will give up the quest after awhile, come back to Dany when she needs him most and sacrifice himself for her. Although it would be neat if he made it to Oldtown and Sam was there and they meet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that is also where Melisandre claims to have learned shadow and blood magic. It would be interesting to send him there to find Moqorro, and to give us a glimpse of a place we've only heard rumors of so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be super cool and I could see him being pointed in that direction as he starts asking around about cures. But if you think about it from the showrunner's perspective, that would be a tangential quest to the rest of the story; he wouldn't interact with any of the current characters. It would mean new characters, new locations. I don't think they have budget for that, nor time to tell the story. So if he goes that way, I don't think we would go with him -- he would disappear from the story for a while and be reintroduced in the next season, with a story to tell about how he was cured. Also, I think Martin said at one point that the books would never actually visit Asshai. He might change his mind, he has been known to do so. But it seems more powerful to keep it mysterious.

Spinoff time! But on a serious note, I can see Sam learning enough as a maester's apprentice to find a cure. Or at least he tries but Jorah survives long enough to download information to Sam.

Drz Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I think the Red Priestess we were introduced this episode will give Jorah a volcanic hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's in Mereen, though, and I don't think Jorah will go inside the city. I think he will head elsewhere. Another possibility: he goes to Braavos and encounters Arya, and maybe the Faceless Men can help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unhit Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Good point about the additional characters, budget etc. - but when I saw the scene on my rewatch, Asshai came to my mind quite clearly. It might not be fully irrelevant to the main story, because Jorah might also learn stuff about the old legends etc. there. But yeah, probably not worth the effort, from a series-production point of view. Oldtown seems more likely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Redwyne Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Ha, sure. We already have teleporting Littlefinger so why not teleporting Jorah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byfort of Corfe Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I think Dany has seen the last of Jorah. He has done all he can for her, this was the "Goodbye, we'll meet again" knowing you never will. Jorah took that last look, saw Dany riding at the head of a powerful army with Daario by her side and knew it was time to leave. I think this is especially true as what Jorah seems to have is known in the books a Grey Plague. Greyscale begins in the extremities, the fingers and toes turn black. Greyscale also isn't as fast as what's happening to Jorah. Greyscale can be treated by amputation, washing in vinegar, limes and mustard poultices and by very hot baths.

Aside from dying of grayscale, I refuse to accept that as a possibility. I think you posted the two most likely outcomes. I think Jorah staying east and getting a volcanic arm would be super badass. Not sure if it will happen--if it does, it won't be the Mereen priestess. It might be like Volantis or somewhere and then he might happen across Greyjoys. But him going (or at least attempting to go) to Oldtown seems like a good chance. You raise a good point that it would be a good way to finally start merging the Dragons-White Walker stories. Would he be willing to go back to Westeros yet though? Obviously, a whole lot has changed so I can't imagine anyone would care who he was, especially that far south.

Byfort of Corfe Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Jorah is done, he was getting his rear-end kicked in the fighting pits last season and Daario had to save his life in this one. I think it's time for Jorah to go and he knows it. He'll never have Dany, he can't go home, it's over for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Is Overdue Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The "I am your Queen and I command you to be healed" reminded me of the scene between Henry VIII and Charles Brandon in Tudors. King Henry also commanded Charles Brandon to be healed, and still died of his illness. It would be interesting to have the whole Oldtown idea play out, but I'm just not convinced it will happen.

sandpiper Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 obviously cannot say if it will happen, but I agree Jorah going to Oldtown would be a way to make contact between Jon's lot in the north and Dany in the south. Maybe it isnt that sort of book, but generally we might expect somehow the separated heroes must be reunited. to fight together. Also, the books start to set a few scenes in oldtown and from a TV perspective it would help to have more characters there who we are already familiar with if there is to be something important taking place there.

Baelor_the_Blessed Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think he's definitely headed to Westeros, although we may not see him the rest of this season. Unless I'm mistaken, book Jorah does not have greyscale. Jon Connington does. Where is Connington in the books? In Westeros, along with fake Aegon. Since the showrunners thought fit to introduce the greyscale plot line even without the correct greyscale victim, I'm sure there is a purpose for greyscale being introduced in Westeros. Perhaps there is an outbreak there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke317 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think Jorah will go to Volantis. Run into Kinvara who will save him ala Moqorro & Vic and then bump into the Greyjoys who will take him to Mereen. It'll be a great scene after Dany has retaken Mereen and realizes she has no ships to get to Weseros and here comes her right hand man sailing in to save the day with an iron born fleet...
