New Military Strength of the North/Jon Snow
Quoth the raven, replied to YeniAy_Ottoman's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Jon Snow will be brought back to some twisted form of life by the white walkers. Twisted in mind because of his single minded thoughts of Arya. I don't think any of the house of the north will support Jon. His support will mainly come from the wights and the white walkers because he will become one of them. That will grant him an army of the undead which will be hard to stop. -
The beginning and the end of the Darkness
Quoth the raven, replied to Kierria's topic in General (ASoIaF)
It seems that is indeed the structure of the series of novels. Bran is the prince of darkness who will bring misery and suffering to the people while Dany brings back the light and the hope. -
GRRM will repeat the cycle and Euron will dominate the south in westeros. His rule will end when Daenerys and her dragons come to Westeros. Euron will kill many people before that happens though. I am thinking poor Aegon and Arianne will be among the casualties of the Iron born invasion.

The symbolism goes deeper. If we take the direwolves for example. They are pack animals and we see that nature in the Starks. It is the Starks' pack nature which will bring the darkest tragedies to Westeros. Arya and Jon will no longer have the ability to discern right from wrong. They will start a campaign of revenge and seek to murder entire families as they lose the ability to separate the guilty from the innocent.

Daenerys is Azor Ahai Reborn
Quoth the raven, replied to James Fenimore Cooper XXII's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The wildings will run her out of the North if she tried to sell them that story. Jon is not AA. He's the Night's King reborn. -
Jon didn't set out to weaken the watch but that was what he was doing. Jon had to choose between the watch and Arya. He chose Arya even when he knew it would weaken the watch and risk the safety of everybody in Westeros. He was just somebody who should have never been chosen to lead. There was no time to formally charge Jon with treason because he was ready to lead the wildlings out.

Hope for the Frey family
Quoth the raven, replied to James Fenimore Cooper XXII's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The Starks are too prideful for that. Walder should have milked the advantage for all it was worth and required more from Robb. -
Hope for the Frey family
Quoth the raven, replied to James Fenimore Cooper XXII's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Walder has no history of trouble-making. It is the Starks who have that unpleasant reputation. Remember what Brandon Stark did before the rebellion. He made threats to harm the ruling family. It is also beginning to look like, per Barbrey Dustin's words, that the Starks were part of a devious secret plan to remove the Targaryens from power. Cat's reaction to what happened to her son is what started the war of the five kings. I know it is mostly Jaime's fault but Cat should have known better than kidnapping Tyrion. -
George R. R. Martin on The Unsullied
Quoth the raven, replied to Only 89 selfies today's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The Unsullied will be fighting a Westeros army made up of laborers and farmers who occasionally play at soldiering. Don't expect much fight from Westeros. It will be much easier to just start another field of fire and barbecue the Stark forces and their wildling friends rather than going through the trouble of meeting them in open battle. -
Hope for the Frey family
Quoth the raven, replied to James Fenimore Cooper XXII's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The head of the Frey family might surprise us and outlive the Starks. -
Protecting the wall was not what Jon was doing in his last chapters of life. He was undermining the wall. He wasn't doing this on purpose but he chose to risk them all for the sake of finding his sister. He wasn't plotting against the wall. Jon is not smart enough for that. What he was doing to get Arya was causing problems for the Watch.

Skahaz mo Kandaq and the Brazen Beasts
Quoth the raven, replied to Aline de Gavrillac's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Skahaz is indeed loyal. His loyalty opens the way for Daenerys to leave Meereen in capable hands so she can claim her father's kingdom that is now hers. -
Will Daenerys Cook Casterly Rock?
Quoth the raven, replied to Maegor_the_Cool's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Harrenhal was also a huge chunk of stone and mortar. It burned and melted like wax. Three dragons would make short work of Casterly Rock. I would love to see the dragons bake the Lannister scum, however, Jaime already had a vision of ice wights attacking the castle. Lord One-Hand will freeze in his castle as the poor outside his walls. -
Tywin is as responsible for what happened to Elia and the children as Jon Snow is for the crimes committed by Mance and the wildling women. Both commanders unleashed savage criminals.

Why weren’t the Starks angrier with the Targaryens
Quoth the raven, replied to Maegor_the_Cool's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The Targaryens were tolerant of the Starks. The North is poor and revenues from taxes were most likely paltry. Aegon removed Black Harren and saved Westeros from Ironborn domination. The Starks should be thankful. -
Dany's fires serve many purposes. The first fire cremated Drogo and punished the witch. Witch's blood added to Khal Drogo's and the stallion's made the magic more powerful. The second fire will cremate Aegon and execute Euron. The blood of Pyat Pree will provide the magic. Burning the Silence will take the part of the Stallion. More dragons eggs will hatch. Jon Snow, Mellissandre, and Ghost will burn in the third fire. More dragons will hatch. Mellissandre will try to fool the people to accept Jon Snow as Azor Ahai. She and Jon will be roasted for this crime.

Any Maths or Numerology Related Secrets in the Books?
Quoth the raven, replied to Craving Peaches's topic in General (ASoIaF)
I doubt mathematical expressions and equations are relevant but one number is special. The number 3 is specifically connected to the story's protagonists, Daenerys Targaryen. -
Jon’s Deception and It’s Consequences
Quoth the raven, replied to Lady Stonehearts Simp's topic in General (ASoIaF)
There is a big problem with the plan. Gilly's child is in danger. What if the witch sacrifices the boy without asking Jon first? This decision once again proves Jon's biased and emotional way of making decisions. He liked Mance and didn't like Craster. Therefore he valued one life more than the other. Based on how he felt about their fathers. Jon had no business commanding and even less ruling the Watch. -
Daenerys is Azor Ahai Reborn
Quoth the raven, replied to James Fenimore Cooper XXII's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The story will enter it's next act when Daenerys finally realizes she is Azor Ahai. Five books have proven the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, and Greyjoys lacking the competence to rule Westeros and lead the people through the shadow and then back into the light. Only Daenerys can do that. -
The Silver Queen and the Weirwolves
Quoth the raven, replied to James Fenimore Cooper XXII's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Rickon will not. Jon, Arya, and Bran will die but their spirits will find new homes in the wolves. Bran's will flit from wolf to wood. I might add to this main topic. Bran is a weirwood. Part tree, part boy, part wolf. And he freely moves from one to the other. Sansa is the one to die for sure. The red shirt. -
Daenerys is the more pragmatic. She tried to compromise with the slave masters to buy peace in Meereen even when she disliked them. That's pragmatism and it is what a very smart, caring ruler does for her subjects. Give peace a try and if the Harpy fails to carry their end then it will be time to rain fire on their Ghiscari asses. Daenerys made a good command call when she chose to risk Belwas instead of Ser Barristan against Oznak. She knew which man had more value to her objectives. Jon was too emotional and let his feelings for Arya carry him into the most terrible decisions a lord commander can do. There is no pragmatism, no smarts, in Jon Snow. He was a good friend to the young recruits but beyond that he had little in the way of leadership qualities. Jon is a lone operator who doesn't fit in. He, like Ghost, are outcasts. Ghost was found away from the other wolves.

Was the Corpse Queen a Weirwood?
Quoth the raven, replied to Corvo the Crow's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Spirits of the dead Starks were absorbed into the Weirwoods and their memories recorded. The tree network absorb the memories of the humans. The Starks had pacts with the Others and the trees. They kill and feed human blood to the trees. They give human babies to the Others. In exchange for warging and skin changing abilities. The corpse queen was the rare human female, must have been a daughter of House Stark, who was turned into an Other. Two Stark daughters remain, Sansa and Arya. One of the girls will get turned into an Other and wed Jon Snow. -
Why did Quaithe touch Dany ?
Quoth the raven, replied to Tyrosh Lannister's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Our Princess Dany is a brave girl. That's one reason why I'm her fan. -
Why did Quaithe touch Dany ?
Quoth the raven, replied to Tyrosh Lannister's topic in General (ASoIaF)
That kind of touch is some kind of intimate. Like she knows Dany. And she would know of prophecies and Dany's significance if she is Shiera or Ellissa. Dany doesn't know it yet but she is Azor Ahai. Quaithe has no way to convince because it would sound like a lie. But something in Asshai is the proof to convince Dany.
