Wow. Shows you what I know, I guess. Though I do wonder about those animals who don’t see colour. Would a warg be able to see colour through their eyes or not?
-
I can’t recall how it goes in the books, but when characters warg into animals, can they still see colour? Far as I recall, wolves don’t have colour vision, nor do cats or bears. Did GRRM keep that in mind or is it just another aspect of warg magic?

Probably for the best. We nitpick enough as it is, heh. If things are vague, then GRRM can dredge up details when he needs them and it isn’t a contradiction. That’s why the Manderlys, Ryswells and Dustins suddenly have most of their strength intact and are also very powerful houses to boot. -
I can’t recall if he ever completed his knighthood or if he was attending the tourney purely on the privilege of being a prince.

Not even Vaegon? -

I know such a thing is impossible to determine properly, but I feel like there are some obvious examples. Vaegon and Aerys I, for example, strike me very much as people with some level of autism (assuming that’s still the correct way of saying it, and I’m very sorry if it isn’t). Stannis could possibly be another one; someone else on this forum speculated as much and they made a compelling case for it. Any others?

I’m mostly a fan of House Blackwood, except for Brynden Rivers. One of the most repulsive and evil characters that GRRM ever created. On the other hand, I’m mostly indifferent to House Bracken. I have especially mixed feelings about Bittersteel. Yes, he’s partly responsible for the Blackfyre Rebellion, but he’s still better than Bloodraven.

Stannis would be proud. Joking aside, I firmly agree that the Old Way is awful and needs to be expunged from people’s mindsets. The II need to be dragged kicking and screaming out of that belief system.

I’m hoping that Perwyn, Olyvar, Roslin, and Alesander avoid the cruel fate which surely awaits the rest of their house. Big Walder Frey seems okay, but we’ll see. Also, Stevron Frey seemed like a decent person before he died. -

maesternewton reacted to a post in a topic: Why did Queen Alysanne betroth Viserra to Theomore Manderly?
-
Tough question, but my guess is that (A) Alysanne wanted to tie the North closer to the other kingdoms (B) she didn’t want Viserra’s kids to be serious rivals for the Iron Throne when there was already a surplus of heirs (C) Theomore Manderly had done some great service for the Iron Throne which Gyldayn breezed over (D) Alysanne disliked Viserra for being an ambitious narcissist and wanted to humble her without banishing her to the Starry Sept

Like Borros Blount?

Considering that Maegor’s offspring proved to be unnatural monstrosities (if the records can be believed) and considering how strangely powerful and strong he was from an early age, and also how unstable and psychopathic he was, my guess is that he had no “father” in that sense. Visenya doesn’t strike me as someone who’d sleep around like Rhaenys did. I’m guessing that she used some kind of sorcery and black magic to create the perfect heir, and it came with consequences that she didn’t anticipate.
