Howlin' Howland Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I admit this is a joke thread. But almost every other character who dies off page has a thread dedicated to the theory that they're still alive. Balon proclaimed himself king, please come up with your best, or most absurd, theories why Balon is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Dolorous Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Nope, not a chance. Euron and his warlocks cast him down for good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maester Emrick of Seagard Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Balon = Eddard Stark = Ned. It is known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardstheRealmsofMen Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 "Balon" hasn't been alive in years. He died during the rebellion. Bloodraven warged him, and has been secretly ruling the Iron Islands for years. However Bloodraven had to warg Coldhands (secretly Rhaegar, he brought his body up there after Robert killed him) and it was just too many corpses to deal with moving around all the time. He didn't want anybody to get to get too close to the body and realise he had been dead for ages, so he just chucked it off the bridge. Problem solved. Also lemons.

Good Guy Garlan Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yes, he's living in a farm upstate, where he can run and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronfried_IV Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Or Euron made some kind of deal with Balon because he wanted to rule the iron island now, balon knew that euron is the better ruler and they switched places, Euron is king now and Balon took on the disguise of Daario Naharis and made his way to mereen. The real reason why Euron sent Victarion to Mereen to is that he wants Vic to kill Balon/Dario and ruin Vic honor by making him a kinslayer, after all that seems to be the only thing Vic does not want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Martell Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Balon's true desire was to frolic nude amongst the flowers and trees of the summer Isles. That is why Balon faked his death and Euron showed up the day after he "died." It is known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even think of that, now it is crystal clear.

Beorn Snow Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Balon used a glamour and is hiding as the Dusky woman Love this theory. There is also textual evidence for it:Did Ned Stark dress you like that? Was it his pleasure to garb you in velvets and silks and make you his own sweet daughter? This quote from ACOK reveals he is secretly jealous of Theon´s more feminine dressing, and possibly the moment he conceived of his plan. Notice also how he likes to dress up his daughter in manly clothes, giving her manly work. Perhaps his dream is to become the wife of either Euron or Victarion. Or queen.

Westorosi Batgirl Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Any "Balon is alive" theory needs to find some way around the Ghost of High Heart. Which is why I propose that Balon killed tGoHH and is using a glamor to look like her and spread word that he is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time between ASoS and AFFC for Balon to fake his death, assume the GoHH identity and make it back to the Iron Islands on time to assume the Dusky woman identity.

In both cases he is dressed as a woman which fits the textual evidence that Beorn Snow pointed out. But I can't help but wonder if there are any other women he could have posed as in the mean time.

The Santa of House Claus Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yes, he's living in a farm upstate, where he can run and play. HA, love it!... But you are wrong. See Balon, like his son, Theon, secretly always loved the Starks. So after realizing what he had done, he fakes his own death and made his way up north. Where he is now, with the help of Howland Reed, acting as the Hooden Man, killing Bolton and Frey men. He and Howland Reed, aka the High Septon, they comunicate using Palantir that Euron found in Ashi. All this is done to prep the North for Ned's return at the head of part of the Golden Company, where he has been hiding ever sense his death was faked by Varys. Little known fact about the Golden Company, their helmets are actually just gilden tin foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hooded Man is not wearing fine women clothes and we know that Balon's endgame is to supplant Dany, ride a dragon to Westeros and become Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and of the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea,Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
