Prince Yourwetdream Aeryn Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Gilly wanted her child to be girl. So I suspect that Craster wanted to marry his granddaughter to widlings (or gods). Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zandru Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I agree with Varysblackfyre321 - Craster sacrificed all the male babies to the Others. He married off all the females - to himself. This seems very clear from the descriptions of the man and his compound. No telling how many generations this had gone on. Craster probably even beat Walder Frey's record.

John Suburbs Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Ditto above, but another conundrum arises: if Craster fathers a daughter on one of his daughters, does that make the child his daughter or his grand daughter, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both, I'd presume. But they'd probably only ever call him 'father'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fattest Leech Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 1 minute ago, Lady Dacey said: Or 'husband'. What a sad fate. A ridiculously sad fate. It seems they call Craster “father” up until marriage, and then it becomes “husband”, which is such a sick mental switch. Look at how the daughter wives are actually slaves (even though Craster has them parrot they are “free”). And I believe Gilly explains Craster was her father until she drank the wine in summer and he became her husband. Yeah, Craster worships other gods, alright.

Both. Moreover, daughter 1's daughter is also daughter 1's sister. As they say, "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Lovejoy Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I have always been curious what his inheritance/succession plan was. Just die and let his daughters/granddaughters/wives figure it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varysblackfyre321 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I have to ask and his other daughters/granddaughters and even the little monster aren't totally deformed and not stunted or suffering any sort of infliction that goes on with prolonged inchest especially one up to the scale of father-daughter-granddaughter.

I mean they fully expected the boys to come after Craster was killed? I mean these are probably seen the mothers as the mothers of the leaders of the successors of mankind. Then again we know little of the others and how they view things even family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheThreeEyedCow Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 He didn't give any indication that he would do otherwise. It was the status quo at Crasters keep. The boys are given to the cold gods and the girls were raised for rearing more babies. Craster is very much the odd man out north-of-the-wall as he has little to no affiliation with Mance and the rest of the wildlings. So marrying daughters off would be pointless. Sadly, he really has only one use for his wives/daughters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
