  1. Late to the party but a great chapter! Liked the little details, for some reason I liked how the older guard served with Lord Tywin back in the days. A nice detail, doesn't really mean anything but still interesting (at least to me!). However this chapter enforces my opinion that Essos is most interesting when there are Westerosi characters around..
  2. Krakarys! :D Time for Victarion to shine, doing what he does best! Edit:http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/80771-wouldnt-asoiaf-be-better-if/
  3. Great work Azador, really interesting! Imagine what the Yunkai forces must feel when an army of savage Ironmen comes storming ashore, lead by Victarion I assume. Must be a terrifying sight! Edit: Still, it does seem that more confusion is bound to follow. I doubt it will go as smoothly as Barristan might think.
  4. She has been training him though she thinks that he is still weak for someone of his age, IIRC she reflects that he is quick though not strong enough.
  5. I dont know if this has been suggested earlier but anyway here it goes: In AFFC (page 780) Brienne on seeing hanged men says: "On the gallows tree, all men are brothers". Brienne had read that in a book, though she could not recall which one. Could this passage be a reference to the 15th century French poet François Villon? And more specifically to Ballade des pendus? François Villon And Ballade des pendus (with english translation)
  6. Hmm I guess it was to be expected that Slynt would get his due eventually though I must say that I kinda liked him, pompous upjumped butcher son that he is..I also like Thorne hovewer and it will be interesting to see how he interacts with Jon, unlike Slynt Thorne is a loyal man of the NW though he doesnt like Jon. I hope it more or less stays that way, just because they dont like each other doesnt mean one is evil and the other good..
