Schteeke Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I just got an idea and i dont know if it has any value whatsoever but ill vent it here. Was Stannis death related to the resurrection of jon snow? "only death can pay for life" and stannis had kingsblood in him which would be a sacrifice (a sacrifice by the red woman, leading him into a battle he can not win) of great magnitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Null Infinity Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 "only death can pay for life" is from the many-faced god religion and not the red god religion, based on the story of Beric in the show I don't think that R'hllor resurrection needs a prior sacrifice, it's a gift from the red god to some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winds of Winter blow cold Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Death paying for life figured into the dragon's hatching too. How about Shireen's death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdJorahMormont Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 kinda off topic.... the death paying for life was the many gods thing yeah ? and when arya took a life not on the list i remember she got a telling off for it as it wasn't the life on the list that the gods wanted. What about the 3 names arya gave, those wouldn't had been lifes that could be taken by him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schteeke Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Yes I know it is related to the many-faced god religion, but "only death can pay for life" has been a theme for many religions, such as the previously mentioned dragon birth by dany, and also events like sansas direwolf Lady being killed which woke bran from his coma, among other events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Hound Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Good question. I also want to bring up, when Jon was a baby, he was going to die from the pox...Cat prayed to the old gods to save his life making promises she did not keep. She believed this cursed her family...maybe it also put a protection shield on Jon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
