Bluetiger Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Why everyone criticises Slaver's Bay names? Most common argument: " They are strange" some people seem to think that everwhere ( in our world too ) there are only English surnames and everyone should be named Adam, Richard or Howard. That's annoying. ( I have rather bad experiences with native English speakers, once when I introduced myself, he answered "Strange name". Also once some guy ( in one game ) every time I wrote sth, corrected me. I'll care about people like him and write only in victorian age English from classic literature from the day native English speaker will pronounce "Grzegorz Bżęczyszczykiewicz" 100% correctly.

Spoiler tag for offtopic.Sorry dude, but Blue Tiger is a strange name. My Spanish speaking wife had so much trouble saying my English first name for the first few years that she used my last name. But that's German and she screwed that up too. Her family tells me I pronounce all five of her names very well. Harzoo and Red Ralloo are fun.

Avlonnic Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Has GRRM ever confirmed in an SSM or interview that Maekar did, in fact, deliver the blow that killed Baelor Breakspear? (I know about the story, the wiki, and the World Book but am seeking validation from the author anywhere.) Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maekar is convinced, however, and the realm seems to have been as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can be as confident in that as RLJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 And he was using a mace, right? And the KG were not allowed to attack the crowned prince, rght? I think we can be as confident in that as RLJ. The three KG were not allowed to attack, only to defend themselves. Daeron was out immediately, and Aerion only had eye for Dunk. That's 5 out of 7. Raymun and Steffon only had eye for each other. That leaves Maekar. We can be reasonably certain that it was Maekar, despite him never wanting to mortally harm his brother. It could be that one of the KG accidentally caused the wound during an attempt to defend himself, but the chances for Maekar are bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetiger Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Wyman doesn't know that it's Rickon who went to Skagos, does he? "Bring me back my liege lord" If Wyman knows that both Stark boys are alive, he knows that Bran is his overlord... Will Davos be surprised by who he finds on Skagos?

aryagonnakill#2 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I don't have the book in front of me, but I have a lot of problems with the whole story Wyman tells Davos. However, in the story he says that Wex follows them until they split up and then he follows Rickon and Asha, so he may believe Bran has died since then, or that any male Stark will do.

I feel I have recently answered most of this here. Will Davos ever reach Skagos? Anyway with Bran gone North of the Wall, the Northerners might according to tradition start an expedition there. If they ever get a round tuit around to it. I don't have the book in front of me, but I have a lot of problems with the whole story Wyman tells Davos. However, in the story he says that Wex follows them until they split up and then he follows Rickon and Asha, so he may believe Bran has died since then, or that any male Stark will do. Wyman does not know it is Rickon who went to Skagos, at least he seems to think it is Bran. Reasons not shown to us. eta: Oh yes, he does. I stand corrected by @Rhaenys_Targaryen who pointed out Wyman knows Bran is crippled and cannot just walk with Osha. Since apparently Bran's legs (Hodor) walked northwards, Wyman knows he is sending Davos to find Rickon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay's Penguins Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I always forget whether Cersei's and Jaime's children would be called Joffrey Hill, Myrcella Waters or Tommen Storm if their parentage was revealed. I'm pretty sure it's Waters since they are born in the Crownlands right? Or is it the fathers region, like how Edric Storm is a Storm even though his mother is a Flowers region? Thanks.
