Jeyne's Addiction Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I've done a bit of searching and can find nothing on this topic. If Jorah ends up riding one of the dragons, could he give the creature Grayscale? Would it take longer to progress for a dragon than it does a man? What effects might it have, beyond the physical and mental changes? Is Grayscale at all magical in nature? Could it link dragon to rider? (The Stone men appeared to be working together).

sciteacher Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Interesting idea. Could it create "stone" dragons? I was thinking the other way entirely. I wondered if fire/dragon fire could cure Grayscale.Ser Jorah gets slightly grazed by Danerys' dragon in the pit and Shireen gets (partially) burned at her father's camp. We get a cured devotee of Danerys and a marriageable princess for Stannis to wed to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxWolfox Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 There are theories that greyscale was created to destroy the dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeyne's Addiction Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hmmmmm... The stone dragon is a dragon that Melisandre of Asshai wishes to waken on behalf of King Stannis Baratheon using king’s bloodhttp://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Stone_dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borodin Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Well, seeing as Jorah (Greyscale) Mormont just infected Daenerys, who just rode off on Drogon, we may find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midi Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Well, seeing as Jorah (Greyscale) Mormont just infected Daenerys, who just rode off on Drogon, we may find out! You really don't give up on that? Even though there is zero evidence that the disease works the same on the show as in the books, and plenty of evidence that it doesn't. Daenerys doesn't have greyscale.

Borodin Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Daenerys doesn't have greyscale. Of course she doesn't. She a main character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogon's Personal Trainer Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 When reading the books, I always believed that 'stone dragon' was just a metaphor for greyscale anyway. Like the Pale Mare is some kind of amoebic dysentery or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beric Zoolander Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 You really don't give up on that? Even though there is zero evidence that the disease works the same on the show as in the books, and plenty of evidence that it doesn't. Daenerys doesn't have greyscale. To be fair they do tell the story of Shireen getting greyscale from a doll earlier in the season. So I don't think anything is off the table. Of course why would Mormont want to harm Dany.

Borodin Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 You can get greyscale from objects handled by people who have had greyscale so it's pretty clear Daenerys doesn't have to suck on Jorah's greyscale patch to contract the disease. Incidental contact with an infected person is more than enough. That is unless you are a crappy screenwriter with a history of overlooking this kind of plot point David Benioff..."God, we got everything wrong on a very basic level with the writing of it. We brought three of our friends over just to get a reaction from them. Watching them watch the pilot was a deeply humiliating, painful experience, because these are very smart individuals, and it just clearly wasn’t working for any of them on a very basic level. At the very end of the pilot, Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) pushes Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) out the window. Jaime is lying with his sister, Cersei (Lena Headey), and none of (our friends) realized that Jaime and Cersei were brother and sister, which is a major, major plot point that we had somehow failed to establish."

KINGpanther Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think the way they are going about Jorah's greyscale is you have to be touched by the infected flesh to catch it but Jorah keeps it covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenlyTheOneTrueKing Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It'd be an interesting story to see Dany, Missandei and Jorah all cope with having greyscale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenlyTheOneTrueKing Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I know many people don't think the former two don't have it, but they really made a big deal of the hand thing. There were close-ups of the Jorah and Missandei one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were close-ups of the Jorah and Missandei one. I don't really see an interest in following the story of another human character with Grayscale. We've had Shireen, we have Jorah, what more could be explored narrativly? A dragon on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
