  1. I assume that most houses in Dorne knew about her health issues. Or how fragile Elia's health was and did not want to gamble with a possibility that her pregnancy would kill her. But very interesting question is why Aerys II ignored that fact about her poor health.
  2. All males of house Gardener died either at Field of Fire or very soon after that battle. But my question is what happened their female relatives? After all there should have been many of them still around unless something really weird happened to them.
  3. I assume that WW are only puppets of some kind of mastermind(s). Or their real leaders are controlling them like wargs/greense'ers do with their own "puppets". So only way to really eliminate Army of Death would be to wipe out those masterminds and their ability to control their slaves.
  4. What about all those FM who had forgotten that they were Faceless Men? After all major potential problem in that trade is people who gained new face and kept using that face so long that they lost their original identity and so became useless for their old brotherhood.
  5. In Essos slavery is normal so I assume that one way that free companies make their money is that they sell all their captured enemies who cannot pay ransom of their own freedom to slavers. 1. Do Golden Company follow that policy or are members of GC slavers? 2. What will GC do to any captured Westerosi? 3. If GC are slavers how that will effect to Team Blacfyre?
  6. Why house Mooton is weaker than other major houses of Riverlands? After all Maidenpool is large town and one of the main ports and trade centers of that area and so they should be rich and powerful house. But somehow many houses in RL are stronger than house Mooton.
  7. I assume that purpose of Westwatch by the bridge was to guard western flank of the wall and stop anyone who wanted to use Bridge of Skulls without NW permission. But now that route is almost open for anyone who wants to bypass the wall. Why NW allow that route to exist? After all Shadow Tower is so far that any patrol from there would take at least hours to reach Bridge of Skulls. So why NW had not either rebuild Wwbtb or wiped out BoS?
  8. I suspect Bridge of Skulls. After all Westwatch is empty and Shadow Tower is far enough that a man who knows normal patrol routes of NW would have very good chances to bypass the Wall by using that route. In fact I think it is odd that NW had left that route almost open. Or they had not either destroyed that bridge or rebuild Westwatch by the bridge.
  9. Are there any weirwoods in Dorne? After all the children called Dorne as Empty Land. So Red Mountains might be southern limit of growing area of those woods.
  10. What kind of weather Dorne has during winters? Or can Dorne produce food during those? After all if Martells can feed their people during long winters unlike another kingdoms they should be relatively stronger than another houses during and after long winters.
  11. Who was overlord of "first Frey"? We know that he lived about 600 years ago, but we do not know which house gave him that piece of land and permission to build that bridge. Or did he just build his bridge and took over that land without asking permission from anybody?
  12. Another massive problem for any new kingdom in Essos are Dothraki khalasars. Or any new kingdom would have become target for raids by those.
  13. In Wheel of Time there are people who seem to be another incarnation of Fremen Aiels. They have their own society of female warriors known as Maiden of Spear and Freefolk seem to have their Spearwives. So I assume that Fremens => Aiels => Freefolk.
  14. I am almost sure that BwB is not united under 1 leader anymore. But that movement has become many groups each doing their own things and so lady SH might be only one of many leaders. What another groups of old movement think about either lady SH or Tullys is unknown.
  15. We know that his father had tendency to punish any lord who disagreed with him by raiding villages those lordlings owned and so hurting smallfolk living in those places. So there is a chance that some members of BWB will hate all Tullys.
  16. 1. Did Ironborn use that name b4 they started to use iron/steel armor and weapons? 2.Or did they use bronze armors and weapons like Firstmen? 3. Old myths talk about terrible soul eating black weapons used by ancient Ironborn raiders. Did those weapons really exist? 4. When Ironborn started to use steel?
  17. How active warships of Vale are in that area? Or there is a chance that bc Stannis failed in his invasion men of Vale are trying to prove their loyalty to the Iron Throne.
  18. But Aegon II never ruled Iron Islands, North or Vale and so by that logic he should not be recognized as a monarch either.
  19. Gulltown might have population about 100.000 people. For instance medieval London had smaller population than Gulltown. That city is also major economical nexus of about couple million people who live in the Vale. Or most trade into or from Vale either goes through Gulltown or just happens in GT. So lords controlling most of that city should be rich and powerful.
  20. Why house Grafton fought for Aerys II during the rebellion?
  21. Stokeworths are literally vital to King's Landing Tyrion IV ACoK So until Tyrells replace them as major source of food any sane ruler of KL would try to keep lords of Rosby and Stokeworth friendly.
  22. How openly slavers operate in Essos? For instance Dany and her brother seemed to travel around without any guards since they were kicked out by servants of their late guardian. Both seemed to be potentially very valuable merchandise for any slaver who would have captured them. So if kidnapping people for slaves is common phenomenon around "free cities" then it would be great miracle why Dany and Viserys did not find themselves as sex slaves.
  23. Which noble house owns Fairmarket? After all that town should generate at least some cash to any house that owns it and Fm was "capital" of Hoare empire b4 Harrenhall.
  24. I assume that people had tried to poison Dany so many times that she has gained healthy paranoia against possible assassinations by poison.
  25. I suspect that without Maegor and Visenya Targ dynasty would have ended. Or they wiped out all rebels when Aegon did nothing until his uncle and V had already saved the Iron Throne. So Maegor I gained his crown by right of conquest like his late father. Besides he has also proven his right to rule by winning trial of 7. That is reason why to me Maegor was legitimate king and so M I had right to kill Aegon as a rebel.
