My theory is that "Winter is Coming" means the ice dragon named Winter is coming. A big clue for this is in the naming of the books in the series. A Game of Thrones A Cash of Kings A Storm of Swords A Feast for Crows A Dance with Dragons THE Winds of Winter A Dream of Spring The is a definite article pertaining to a proper noun. The winds are coming from a specific entity. Otherwise he would have chosen a different name to fit the series title style. I have written an encylopaedia of theories, many of them on ice dragons (book spoilers!), so if you wanted to check them out, click here. Below is my main ice dragon theory. The IceBrandon: “Winter Is Flying” “Winter is coming” means the ice dragon named Winter is coming. Bloodraven via Bran wakes the icedragon named Winter in the black pool of Winterfell. Bran is the King of Winter, the ice dragon. Bran has already flown as the ice dragon in his dream where he gave his (corn) seed and his soul to the crow, Bloodraven. Bran died and was reborn with the magic of the ground and weirwood roots just as Dany died and was reborn by fire. This entire story is set in play by the conflict when Jaime threw Bran from the tower and their conflict will frame the story’s conclusion. This post here has the biggest clues for the ice dragon appearing on the show. Or, just maybe, "A Wind of Winter" would have made no sense?

I love the idea for an ice dragon, but your reasoning on said theory is incorrect: Game, Clash, Storm, Feast, and Dream, are all Singular things, hence the use of "A." Winds ARE Plural, which requires "The." What's the Targaryen word for "Winter"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a stickler to incredible levels of detail and consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the simplest answer is the best one, no? None of this icebrandon stuff is happening on the show or in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asvpxkvng Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'll give theories like this one thing. Even if you know in all likelihood that they'll never happen they speak so much to that part of you that just wants massive magical fantasy awesomeness that inside you kind of hope they happen while your head keeps telling you no. So yea why the hell not.....WINTER IS BIRTHING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basic essence is attempted to be conveyed but with different characters playing those archetypal goals. I expect R+L=J tonight, the IceBrandon and the Others attacking the Wall leaving us with unDolorous Edd. But who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause that is an interesting prospect, particularly if Bran is the one who wakes/raises it. An ice dragon is the embodiantment of ice it will fight for ice. If white walkers gets a hero who rides the ice dragon the forces of fire will lose, which could be a good GRRM ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
