And an army of Skagosi warriors, after all those Chekhov ships (2 or 3, can't remember now) were not mentioned to increase the word count! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This image of Davos sitting upon a shaggy garron with a single horn projecting from the middle of its head with colorful rainbows in the background is hogwash. A Dance with Dragons - Jon I A wild rain lashed down upon his black brother as he tore at the flesh of an enormous goat, washing the blood from his side where the goat's long horn had raked him for some reason I can't use the icons so <love> and <cool> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote It taught him Winterfell’s secrets too. The builders had not even leveled the earth; there were hills and valleys behind the walls of Winterfell. There was a covered bridge that went from the fourth floor of the bell tower across to the second floor of the rookery. Bran knew about that. And he knew you could get inside the inner wall by the south gate, climb three floors and run all the way around Winterfell through a narrow tunnel in the stone, and then come out on ground level at the north gate, with a hundred feet of wall looming over you. Even Maester Luwin didn’t know that, Bran was convinced. (AGoT, Ch.08 Bran II) TreeBran knows, RavenBran knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the camp that thinks there is a secret entrance or a back door hiding under WF. The description of WF and its gates have caused me many headaches. WF is double walled with a moat between the two walls. Theon & his men grappled the outer wall and swam the moat. I’m guessing that the inner wall doors/gates were open? I’m trying to imagine these gates/drawbridges. One of my pet head scratchers, these gates of WF are. Hunter’s Gate is fairly straight forward. It leads into the wolfswood for easy access to hunting. This is the gate Roose told Manderly’s men use. The south gate or the main gate (?) ----Roose tells the Frey’s to use --- leads to Wintertown. I’m probably not making much sense here but the outer wall has has to have entrances. The drawbridges across the moat to the inner wall ---- are they a permanent fixture or something that opens and closes? Quote And IIRC, we are told that the crypts extend beyond the walls. Perchance the crypt (an underground burial chamber) is possibly part of a larger underground cavern? Edit: I'm thinking I may have made a mistake. So please correct me ---- Manderly's men left outta the East Gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
