Joffrey is a year older than Edric.

What happened to the sword that belonged to the Other, the one used to kill Small Paul. The weight of him tore the strange pale sword from the Other's grip. (Sam I, ASoS 18) The Other's armor melted. The Other shrank and puddled, dissolving away. The bones melted too. Grenn goes to Paul to see if he's still alive, but he dies, so he closes his eyes. And we get no mention of the Other's sword. Did it melt too?

I have a quick question about the phases of the moon. So in Cersei III, AFfC 12, we get this; When Cersei looked up she saw the tower's crenellated battlements gnawing at a hunter's moon. I looked up "hunter's moon" and found that it's a full moon that follows the Harvest Moon and happens in the month of October. I was wondering if this is something that would apply to Westeros or if it should be disregarded timeline-wise. (I am having a bit of a difficult time believe that 10 months have already passed since Joffrey's death). Same question with the harvest feast in ACoK. The harvest is supposed to be in the fall (and the harvest is in the fall given the white raven that arrived), but should we look at the fall months for the harvest or completely due to the wonky seasons?

Yes, he is. It was established back in ACoK when he was posing as Reek. Unlikely as it seemed, Reek could read and write, and he was possessed of enough base cunning to have hidden an account of what they'd done. (Theon V, ACoK 56)

There are no instances so far. Things might change in FaB II. And I see him participating in the archery part of the tourney rather than the joust or the mêlée.

I don't think absorbing a house happens. Ynys's children are Allyrions, and that's the House the eldest will rule. As far as I understand it the rule of the House passes down to the next child. Myriah Martell was the eldest child and in line to rule Dorne, but her brother became the ruler of Dorne after she married Daeron. And the pact that was signed to marry Arianne and Viserys would have made Quentyn the ruler of Dorne after Doran died. Unless something happens to Gwyneth Yronwood, then I think she should be the one to inherit after her father dies. And if something happens to her, then I think Ynys's other son would become the Lord of Yronwood, and change his last name from Allyrion to Yronwood.

I was thinking about your question, and I remembered a House that was founded in 209 AC, and that's House Fossoway of New Barrel. So their seat would have been built within the last 90 years. They could be one of the most recent construction.

He didn't recognize Arya (or that she had the look of a Stark) and she was his cupbearer, so I doubt he was paying any sort of attention to the smith.

Because building means a lord has to borrow money from the the bank or from some other lord or levy more taxes from their smallfolk. And it takes years to build something. We don't know that. The Rains of Castamere was pulled out of the repertoire for the Red Wedding and was played about a 100 times at Joffrey's wedding because Tywin was there. I wouldn't call it a hit as much as a threat disguised as a song. The Bear and the Maiden Fair seems to be a big hit. Jenny's Song seems to be a hit seeing as Catelyn stuck flowers in her hair and pretended to be Jenny and Robb knew the song. It may not be a top 50 on Westeros's Billboard, but Lord Renly's Ride is a very recent song.

Harrenhal. The Eyrie and the Gates of the Moon. Sunspear, maybe. Definitely the Water Gardens. I think any castle that belongs to a family of Andal descent may have been built after the Andals invaded. The castles belonging to the Houses Vance since they would descend from Armistead Vance would be other castles that might have been built after the Andals came to Westeros.

Robert's crown is not described in the text as far as I remember.

There's nothing. There's a lot of Ser Denys, but Elbert is mentioned as Elbert only. Oddly enough, I can't even find him in the app of Ice and Fire.

They're a bunch of shitheads who are still his family. How many people in real life have shitheads for family and still gravitate towards them? I think Theon's biggest mistake when he was on the Iron Islands was that he never went to see his mother. She loved him. She wanted him. I think the outcome with Theon would have been completely different if he had bothered to go to her.

It's an error. Asha receives a similar letter to the one Jon receives and hers is signed by "Lady Dustin." "Ramsay Bolton, Lord of Winterfell, he signs himself. But there are other names as well." Lady Dustin, Lady Cerwyn, and four Ryswells had appended their own signatures beneath his. Beside them was drawn a crude giant, the mark of some Umber. (The Wayward Bride, ADwD 26) Same signatories, Dustin, Cerwyn, four Ryswells, the Umber giant.

In that case, perhaps House Massey and the actual lord of Stonedance have nothing to do with Stannis. Maybe they remain sworn to King's Landing. We know Justin squired for Robert, so there is a history there between him and at least one Baratheon. We know Justin was eyeing Winterfell as his seat and when that fell through, he started cozying up to Asha. Plus unlike a bunch of lords that are marching with Stannis, he doesn't seem to have his own retinue. He doesn't even seem to have a squire.

Was Justin Massey the Lord of Stonedance, though? We're told he lost his lands when he joined Stannis, but no one insofar (as far as I remember) has called him Lord Justin like they do with the other lords in his service. No one was calling Beric Dondarrion "ser" even after he lost his lands and titles. There are a bunch of rebel lords that are still called "lord" and unless something happened with House Massey, as far as we know they're not a House of landed knights.

Yes, a fifth. A regular monster-looking that Jon Snow. I'm not sure why I bother anymore.

We're not told that about Ned, though. Catelyn said he was plain looking compared to Brandon who was dashing. As far as Jon goes, between Ygritte who says he has a sweet face, Val who flirts with him, he probably has a more interesting face at 16-17 than he did at 14.

Just because Dany assumes that this is what he was doing, doesn't mean this is what he was doing, or that he was expecting another girl. I know a lot of people tend to dismiss Kevan saying that Rhaegar wanted sons because it's coming from a Lannister, but he has no reason to make this up.

How canon is the Campaign Guide, exactly?

Baelor being a hostage in Oldtown seems to be connected to the Greyjoy Rebellion.

Two things; Going through Feast. Tris Botley was fostered at Blacktyde after he was sent away from Pyke and there was mention that it was as Baelor Blacktyde's ward. It was Balon who'd sent the boy away from Pyke, to be a ward of Baelor Blacktyde's. "Is it true you are Lord Botley now?" (The Kraken's Daughter, AFfC 11) I'm sort of trying to do the math on this one. Asha is 24-25 years old currently. Tristifer Botley is about her age or a tad older. The Greyjoy Rebellion was in 289 AC, putting Asha at about 13-14 years old. Baelor Blacktyde was taken as a hostage to Oldtown and stayed there for 8 years. And his father died during the Greyjoy Rebellion. Is it an error or am I misunderstanding the timeline? Or are we looking at this as yes, he was on Blacktyde as a ward of Baelor because he was the lord there, even though he was hostage at Oldtown. Crackclaw Point, old gods or the new, since the region was not conquered by the Andals.

Him not thinking about her doesn't mean he wasn't there or doesn't remember her.

Goodman/goodwife Goodman Willit, Goodman Beck, Goodwife Amabel, Goodwife Harra, Goodwife Maerie, Goodwife Nolla are the ones I can think of from the text.

I don't think things are as complicated as that and granted, I've watched only one episode since season 4. Bran is already king in his own right in the books. Bran became king when Robb died without issue. And we can argue that Robb left a will naming Jon as his heir, but he did that because he thought his trueborn brothers had been murdered and he did not want the north to pass to some Vale lordling or to a Lannister through Sansa's marriage to Tyrion. Rickon is set to reemerge which will change things. And if and when Bran leaves the cave and makes it south of the Wall, then he will be the one with the claim to Winterfell and to the north. I can easily see D&D going, so Bran will be king in the north, but let's make him king of westeros and give Sansa the north. It's not like they haven't hacked story arc to pieces to distribute among characters for reasons.
