HexMachina Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 No there isn't any evidence of that, that I can see from a quick search and from memory. Her hair is usually described as silver or something similar. I don't remember it being said to grow in darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhaenys' kitten Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Why is Walder Frey one of Tully's bannermen? The Twins are so far north he is a ways away from anyone, but would appear to be closer to the Vale than to Riverrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there lands and their castle The Twins are located on the green fork, a river that joins the Trident. Definitely Riverlands. South of the neck - not in the North. West of the mountains - not in the vale. Far away enough to be no part of the Westerlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Am I remembering correctly that the Twins are 700 years old? I believe thats what Catlyn says but I don't have a kindle so I always need to read threw the chapters to find stuff. I ask because I am interested to know how many Freys have surrendered/ been defeated. As best as I can tell it has to have been at least twice.

TheCrannogDweller Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 As Rhaenys said, the Freys have been a noble House for 600 years. The bridge and the keeps are a bit younger though.The bridge was finished by the grandson of the founder of the House. He also built a couple of wooden keeps on each end - which were replaced by later generations with full-fledged castles made of stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopsang Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 why does hodor only say hodor? was he born like that? itd be weird if he were just a normal kid, and one day he just started saying that. its probably crackpot, but maybe, bloodraven showed him the heart of winter, and somehow that changed him. dont know why that'd make him say hodor specifically, but maybe its like the big boss other http://www.motherjones.com/media/2014/06/hodor-game-of-thrones-brain-speech Broca's region being damaged in the brain can lead to this.

Mychel_Redfort Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 From Game 59 : "The Freys have held the crossing for six hundred years, and for six hundred years they have never failed to exact their toll." (...) The Green Fork ran swift and deep here, but the Freys had spanned it many centuries past and grown rich off the coin men paid them to cross. Their bridge was a massive arch of smooth grey rock, wide enough for two wagons to pass abreast; the Water Tower rose from the center of the span, commanding both road and river with its arrow slits, murder holes, and portcullises. It had taken the Freys three generations to complete their bridge; when they were done they'd thrown up stout timber keeps on either bank, so no one might cross without their leave. The timber had long since given way to stone. The Twins_two squat, ugly, formidable castles, identical in every respect, with the bridge arching between_had guarded the crossing for centuries. High curtain walls, deep moats, and heavy oak-and-iron gates protected the approaches, the bridge footings rose from within stout inner keeps, there was a barbican and portcullis on either bank, and the Water Tower defended the span itself.

Lopsang Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 What castle did the Baratheons hold before the rebellion? This is a noob question - but who is Gerion Lannister? He was Tywin's squire who got lost in battle, right? Is there something important about him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was Tywin's squire who got lost in battle, right? Is there something important about him? House Baratheon is of Storm's End, they are the Lords paramount of the Stormlands, one of the seven kingdoms. After the Robellion, Robert gave Dragonstone to Stannis and Storm's End to Renly. Stannis' branch would have been House Baratheon of Dragonstone and Robert's branch (Myrcella and Tommen) are the royal House Baratheon of King's Landing. Gerion went on a quest to recover the ancestral sword of House Lannister in the remains of Old Valyria and never returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 http://www.motherjones.com/media/2014/06/hodor-game-of-thrones-brain-speechBroca's region being damaged in the brain can lead to this. It is a real-life neurosis. Neuroscience might not be my specialty, but still, I knew this: :P If I have to guess, I'd say that he suffers from Broca's Aphasia, or at least a form of it. Other names for this disorder are Expressive aphasia, or agrammatic aphasia. The cause of this disorder is developmental issues, or by damage to the anterior region of the brain. Brodmann Area 44 and 45 are located there (Broca's area). Though usually there seem to be cases where the patient is capable of saying multiple words, just not sentences that make sense. Patients with the syndrome have a difficulty constructing sentences, they omit words,, etc. Being able to say only one word is a more severe case of aphasia. But it does fit with the description of Hodor's condition. Usually, word comprehension is not lost, and Hodor indeed is capable of understanding the words that are being said to him. Though aphasia patients are known to misinterpret sentences. I'm not so sure how often that happens with Hodor (and whether it happens at all). What castle did the Baratheons hold before the rebellion? This is a noob question - but who is Gerion Lannister? He was Tywin's squire who got lost in battle, right? Is there something important about him?As @Jon Weirgaryen said, Storm's End was the Baratheon seat before the Rebellion. House Baratheon, since the Conquest, was the Great House of the Stormlands. Gerion Lannister is Tywin's youngest brother (from eldest to youngest, it's Tywin (242), Genna (245/246), Kevan (244/245), Tygett (somewhere between 244-250, roughly), and Gerion (255)). He left a little less than 10 years ago on a quest to find the old Lannister Valyrian sword, Brightroar, which was lost when King Tommen II of the Rock sailed to Valyria and never returned.

HexMachina Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Maybe not, if he's a Targ. Wasn't Tywin Lannister bald? Yes, but Jaime is only in his thirties (about 34) whereas Tywin is almost 60. There is no reason that Jaime should be bald... And being a Targaryen does not stop you from going bald either, btw. I don't know where you got that from. (Not that I think Jaime is though) ETA: Tywin also had his head shaved when he "started" going bald - which presumably means his hair was thinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Maybe not, if he's a Targ. Wasn't Tywin Lannister bald? Tywin was bald (or at least, has been shaving his head since he started getting bald). Tywin was also 57/58 years old when he died. Jaime is 34.
