Dyslexia was strong in this one. Thanks for the correction. -

The man-stone in Bran's wolf dream in ACoK 46, Bran VI, is it a statue? -

Because the survivors inside Winterfell would know what really happened? I've got a question of my own. Maester Aemon dispatched ravens to the kings in the realm about Jeor Mormont being slain beyond the Wall with most of his force and an imminent attack on the Wall. Stannis received his letter which was largely ignored by Alester Florent because they don't have the men and Tywin Lannister gets pissy the letter was sent to the other kings, and decides to ignore the appeal since the north is now independent anyway. Where was Robb's letter? It doesn't even seem like he was aware what was happening at the Wall or that there was a Great Ranging and most men were lost when he decides to name Jon his heir. Did someone decide that he didn't need to know about this? -

I think he's been wearing the dagger since AGoT. This is from Clash of Kings; "That's a handsome knife as well." "Is it?" There was mischief in Littlefinger's eyes. He drew the knew and glanced at it casually, as if he had never seen it before. "Valyrian steel, and a dragonbone hilt. A trifle plain, though. It's yours, if you would like it." (Tyrion IV, ACoK 17) Only if you'll do the same for me, Tyrion thought, glancing at the dagger sheathed at Littlefinger's hip. (Tyrion VII, ACoK 29) When the dagger is sheathed, no one knows it's Valyrian steel because the dragonbone hilt gives it a deceiving look. Tyrion was staring at his nephew with his mismatched eyes. "Perhaps a knife, sire. To match your sword. A dagger of the same fine Valyrian steel . . . with a dragonbone hilt, say?" Joff gave him a sharp look. "You . . . yes, a dagger to match my sword, good." He nodded. "A . . . a gold hilt with rubies in it. Dragonbone is too plain." (Sansa IV, ASoS 59) And this in AFFC during the fake confrontation with Lyn Corbray; Candlight rippled along the smoke-grey steel of Corbray's blade, so dark it put Sansa in mind of Ice, her father's greatsword. "Your apple-eater holds a blade. Tell him to give it to you, or draw that dagger." (Alayne I, AFfC 23) -

The only thing we have as far as I remember is this; His uncle said the top was wide enough for a dozen armored knights to ride abreast. (Jon III, AGOT 19) I think it might make it less than 18 m -

Not per se or that I've ever seen myself. But those of us who believe it was him think the answer to that question is in Tywin's bed in the 3rd book. -

The problem with this is that his children are presented as being full siblings in the appendix. -

@Ran, I was wondering if you happened to have seen the Hightower family tree (if there is one). I'm asking mainly because I'm interested in finding out the name of the brave woman who popped out 10 children (and then probably died of exhaustion). -
I did it! Have an awesome looking cheese cake!
