Night's Watch Deserter Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Melisandre, well at least she will figure out that Jon's parents can't be a Northern Lord and a fisherman's daughter from the Vale. Jon Snow is dead (I don't think there is space in the story's timeline for him to be convalescing for several months) - The Night's Watch will burn the body (and by saying the words release Jon from his vow) - The flames will revive Jon, completing the PtwP prophecy (born / reborn amidst salt and smoke) - Mel will witness this and realise that her visions relate to Jon and not (poor) Stannis Note: I'd imagine the story of Howland Reed returning to Winterfell after the war with Ned's bastard is pretty well known in the North. - Thus introducing the need to seek out Howland Reed into the plot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felguy Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Howland Reed is the obvious choice. I could also see Bran-as-tree observing it directly in the past. Either way, it'll have to be something definitive and first-hand. Do you mean seeing your aunt get screwed or?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank of House Hutton Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 i think an interesting scenario I've heard before/thought of before is that with Jon dead/in a coma/in ghost whatever, i can see BloodRaven or Bran giving him visions in his dreams and seeing how he is the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna. When he awakes he will need confirmation from someone of this dream of his real mother and father. And i believe Benjen or Howland Reed will confirm with him. Maybe Jon tries to go North to find Bloodraven to see what he knows and then comes across Benjen? Maybe Howland Reed is already on his way North? Maybe Bloodraven told Howland to go north? not sure but i think it would be really cool if he saw visions of it from Bran/Bloodraven in his dreams.

Wolf's Bane Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Howland Reed. But who would listen to a crannogman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 There are several characters still alive (or who may still be alive) who could know about Jon's true parentage. I'm thinking either Ser Barristan Selmy or Benjen Stark may spill the beans... What do you think? Among the living, Howland. Among the dead, Ned's ghost in Jon's dream. Maybe Lyanna's ghost too. "When the time comes, I'll tell him myself." Jon finishes his dream? Exactly. Howland Reed. But who would listen to a crannogman. Jon. He does not need the words of this man or that man to convince people of R+L=J. He will do that by deeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
