    by contrast anyone near the wall has gotta be nervous everytime it gets dark!

    But Gift is huge. Or land area of both gifts is about as large than average state of USA. So if a person living in there is careful he should be very unlucky if his home is visited by raiders.

    The issue is the northerners have already rejected the gift to  settle as it is and voted with their feet!...no one wants to live in lands  where someone could rape or kill you at any min! 

    It could also happen if local lord really wants to have sex with some peasant or just kill somebody. After all we know what Roose did when he saw a woman who seemed to be healthy and fertile. So sometimes people would be more safe living at Gift that near castles or manors.

    You would think Royce or Blackwood branch members would have strongly objected to the RW.

    Actually Roose should have had same problem bc lordlings have tendency to marry children of other lordlings. So there should have been at least some people among his followers who were ordered to kill their relatives. Or those people either disobeyed those orders or they became kinslayers. 

  4. Most of ex-slaves lack necessary skills to run a state. Or I am sure that very few of them know how to read and write and their other education is minimal. After all only members of elite had access to any kind of education and owned books. So if Dany wants to have working government she needs to keep those nobles who have necessary skills to run a state happy.

    I don't think any of them were concerned with blood purity tbh. The Targaryens were the exception. The Starks mostly married First Men houses, because they were surrounded by them. They still married Arryns (the most andal of the andals) along with Blackwoods and Royces who have both intermarried heavily with andal families in the south.

    Some of Starks married their cousins (like Lord Rickard) and couple of them seemed to marry their nieces. So they cared either about blood purity or just wanted to minimize number of people with strong claim to Winterfell.

    Qaithe will provide convincing proof in Asshai.  Dany will accept her Azor Ahai identity.  Add one more title to the many she already has. 

    To my knowledge Dany is only person who had seen Qaithe. So there is a possibility that Q does not exist outside head of Dany. Or Q could be either some kind of illusion or she is created by Dany's imagination.

  7. Sansa (Lannister?) is legal wife of Tyrion. So unless High Septon cancels her marriage or Tyrion dies she cannot marry somebody else. After all in Vale the Faith of 7 has more political power than other kingdoms. Or there is a possibility that Sansa's status as married woman limits what kind of moves Littlefinger can do with her.

  8. I know that we will never see a book with tittle A Time for Wolves. But it would be easy to find 3 potential meanings for that tittle.

    1. Hour of wolf is darkest moment of night.

    2. It will be time when many people will suffer and die and law and order do not exist anymore.

    3. However that tittle also indicates return of dawn (Starks?) After all most nights end sooner or later.
