Ronfried_IV Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Penny was never a whore.. then I misunderstood that, took it from her wiki entrance Penny senses Tyrion's fury and apologises to him. She then tells him she is frightened - but those were the same words Shae had used too. Tyrion remembers that he swallowed every bit of it, even though he knew what she was. Tyrion becomes lost in a black rage. He turns away from Penny and goes outside.[/quote} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 then I misunderstood that, took it from her wiki entrance The link to prostitution is about Shae, not Penny. If that's confusion, I'll remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Weirgaryen Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 The link to prostitution is about Shae, not Penny. If that's confusion, I'll remove it. Easily solved: she/Shae Penny senses Tyrion's fury and apologises to him. She then tells him she is frightened - but those were the same words Shae had used too. Tyrion remembers that he swallowed every bit of it, even though he knew what Shae was. Tyrion becomes lost in a black rage. He turns away from Penny and goes outside.

Megaera Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Theon refers to 'Skinner' a few times. Presumably he is one of the dreadforts torturers, meaning Ramsey didnt actually carry out all of Theons torture. Am I understanding that correctly?

Presumably he is one of the dreadforts torturers, meaning Ramsey didnt actually carry out all of Theons torture. Am I understanding that correctly? Yes: Reek knew the cost. Seven, he thought, seven fingers. A man can make do with seven fingers. Seven is a sacred number. He remembered how much it had hurt when Lord Ramsay had commanded Skinner to lay his ring finger bare. ADwD 20 Reek II No pain Theon had ever known came close to the agony that Skinner could evoke with a little flensing blade. ADwD 51 Theon I eta: added another quote.

Hangover of the Morning Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 No indications that I can recall. No mention of accent, for exaple. The fact that he studied at the Citadel also favors him being originally from Westeros, though it is not something which makes it certain. The Brave Companions have members from Essos, but also from Westeros. Think Timeon from Dorne, or Septun Utt, Rorge, or Biter. Thanks a lot.

Criston of House Shapper Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 My next question is really horrible, sorry about that in advance: Why was Arya never raped on the way to Harrenhal, after they found out she was a girl? The Mountain's men are terrible people, who raped every woman/girl in sight and Yoren specifically wanted her to pretend to be a boy so she wouldn't get raped. In that chapter we get horrid descriptions about the trek north to Harrenhal, it's really quite difficult to read, actually, so how did Arya escape that?

Most of the captives were women or children, and Arya was still rather young. I guess the fact that there were a lot of women to choose from, and the fact that there will have been plenty who were older than her, is what saved her from such a fate.

The author set a tension for us knowing that she could be raped. If she had been taken by the footmen she probably would have been raped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syphon the Sanitator Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Was the pair of skulls at the entrance to Craster's place foreshadowing of Mormont and Buckwell's death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Melnibonean Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Was the pair of skulls at the entrance to Craster's place foreshadowing of Mormont and Buckwell's death?The bear was Jeor but the ram was Craster. Craster was wearing sheepskins when Jon met him. He was sacraficing sheep to the others as well as his sons. And a group of ewes is generally mated by a single ram. Jeor and Craster were killed together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Quite a few actually, even a few Archmaesters. (Haereg and Hake). Do we know Haereg is Ironborn? I know he wrote exhaustively about them. It's likely that he is, but I could not find confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haereg (Hårek) at least looks like the Westerosi variant of a Norse kingly name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haereg sounds Ironborn and he wrote a lot about them so I just assumed he was Ironborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
