Lord Knightmare Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 So what new information did people find interesting in reading of TWOIAF? I liked finding out more about the Dance of Dragons, King Trystane apparently took the Red Keep. The Winter Wolves appear to have been on a suicide mission. Kermit Tully defeating Boros Baratheon. Cregan Stark's reign as Hand :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wondering Wolf Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Third Blackfyre Rebellion. I guess that is stuff for another Dunk and Egg story. Bittersteel got caught before some loyalists freed him and Haegon was killed. And finally we learned the circumstances of Bloodraven's imprisonment.

Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The deaths of Maelor and Jaehaera were things I had always been curious about..I loved reading about the reigns of Baelor I and Aegon IV, the tales of Aegon's mistresses, the life of Elaena (though sadly, barely a mention about Rhaena). The wars of Dorne vs Targaryen.. The Free Cities.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Knightmare Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Also Dunk's duel with the Laughing Storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barty Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 There was some good info about the Starks - Pretty clear that the Starks weren't too happy with their Targ overlords for a long time. We have - 1. Torrhen's sons openly plotting rebellion(or at least talking about it)2. Rhaenys forcing Torrhen's daughter into a marriage her family did not want - Seems like the Starks resisted marrying Andals or southrons - this makes Rickard's southron ambitions even more peculiar.3. Jaehaerys I forcing Ellard Stark into giving up his land to the NW4. Cregan Stark not getting the Targ Princess he was promised in the pact of ice and fire - I'm thinking this is why he fought Aemon the dragonknight (like Lyonel fought Duncan the Tall when the marriage promised to the Baratheons did not take place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barty Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Also the Valyrians were pretty interesting - there is further evidence that they tried to invade westeros a long time ago and suffered some big defeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay's Penguins Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Most of the stuff about the Dance. Also the Pig, Rat and Hawk rebellions, and Stormlands rebellion.Most interesting is that Casella Vaith, one of Aegon the Unworthy's lovers went mad after he abandoned her, and she is now the Lady Vaith Dunk and and Egg meet in Dorne.

Lord Knightmare Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 4. Cregan Stark not getting the Targ Princess he was promised in the pact of ice and fire - I'm thinking this is why he fought Aemon the dragonknight (like Lyonel fought Duncan the Tall when the marriage promised to the Baratheons did not take place) But the Dragonknight wasn't born for about 10 years after the Dance, that would make this duel at least 25 years later, why would he wait so long to claim a wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Grumpy Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The Five Forts, fortress in Oldtown, Seastone Chair, ruins of Yeen, Asshai... they are all black with a mysterious past. What about Old Ones residing beneath the subterrean ruined cities of Leng?Mazes! Gods be good, mazes! Lots of mazes. Mazes in Lorath, mazes in Leng and mazes in that fortress. Shapenchangers and demon hunters in Mossovy? Wtf? What is a shapechanger? How? :SWhat do you mean by a demon hunter GRRM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed madness was running in House Vaith too because we have met 2 mad Vaith ladies. lol. So they are the same person o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBloodraven Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 There was some good info about the Starks - Pretty clear that the Starks weren't too happy with their Targ overlords for a long time. We have - 4. Cregan Stark not getting the Targ Princess he was promised in the pact of ice and fire - I'm thinking this is why he fought Aemon the dragonknight (like Lyonel fought Duncan the Tall when the marriage promised to the Baratheons did not take place) That would have taken a long time to settle that dispute. I liked the info about the Westerlands, the Vale of Arryn, Valyria... Perhaps I'm too hungry, but the North section was a bit of letdown. It was very generic in its themes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay's Penguins Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well, it matches up timeframe wise. And after Aegon abandoned her to the sword, I think madness would definitely happen. Or perhaps she was just enraged by another Targaryen. Its far from confirmed, but I think I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barty Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 But the Dragonknight wasn't born for about 10 years after the Dance, that would make this duel at least 25 years later, why would he wait so long to claim a wife But then why fight? Cregan is supposed to be loyal to the Targs (But then so was Lyonel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor de la Tormenta Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I want to spoil myself, I dont care. Who won between dunk and the l storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maester Mando Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The descriptions of the westerosi regions as well as the other lands. Sothoryos sounds like hell on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBloodraven Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Also, I really liked the tidbit about the Burned Men starting to burn themselves as a test of courage, after the Painted Dogs started to worship a fire priestess, "after the Dance of the Dragons". I bet it was Nettles and Sheepstealer, and the Burned Men were daring the dragon during their clan feuds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barty Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I want to spoil myself, I dont care. Who won between dunk and the l storm? Duncan I presume PS - found the quote - definitely Duncan. The father of the spurned girl, Lord Lyonel Baratheon of Storm’s End, known as the Laughing Storm and famed for his prowess in battle, was not a man easily appeased when his pride was wounded. A short, bloody rebellion ensued, ending only when Ser Duncan of the Kingsguard defeated Lord Lyonel in single combat, and King Aegon gave his solemn word that his youngest daughter, Rhaelle, would wed Lord Lyonel’s heir.

Ramsay's Penguins Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Dunk won... Otherwise he wouldn't have died in Summerhall. Plus, Lyonel accepted a marriage to his child after the duel, so Dunk defintely won.Sothoryos sounds like Africa anology, but there is certain things that are just so Australian its funny. But maybe I'm biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
