DaSh!t Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi im new to the thread, so go easy on me :) The sword Illyrio had for young griff, is it Blackfyre?In the third Tyrion Chapter from ADWD there are some quotes that had me wondering if it is. *"How fares our lad? asked Illyrio as the chests were being secured. Tyrion counted six, oakenchests with iron hasps. Duck shifted them easily enough, hoisting them on one shoulder.He is as tall as Griff now. Three days ago he knocked Duck into a horse trough.I wasnt knocked. I fell in just to make him laugh.Your ploy was a success, said Haldon. I laughed myself.There is a gift for the boy in one of the chests. Some candied ginger. He was always fond of it.Illyrio sounded oddly sad. I thought I might continue on to Ghoyan Drohe with you. A farewell feastbefore you start downriver" *"It took another few moments for Duck to finish securing Illyrios chests to the three pack horses.By that time Haldon had vanished. Duck seemed unconcerned. He swung into the saddle, grabbedTyrion by the collar, and hoisted the little man up in front of him. Hold tight to the pommel and youlldo fine. The mares got a nice sweet gait, and the dragon roads smooth as a maidens arse. Gatheringthe reinsin his right hand and the leads in his left, Ser Rolly set off at a brisk trot.Good fortune, Illyrio called after them. Tell the boy I am sorry that I will not be with him forhis wedding. I will rejoin you in Westeros. That I swear, by my sweet Serras hands.The last that Tyrion Lannister saw of Illyrio Mopatis, the magister was standing by his litter in hisbrocade robes, his massive shoulders slumped. As his figure dwindled in their dust, the lord of cheeselooked almost small." *"Haldon eyes Tyrion and then begins to speak in another language. Tyrion cannot tell what it is but think it might be Volantene. He catches a few words that come close to High Valyrian. The words he catches are, queen, dragon, and sword." So my question is...Did Illyrio give Young Griff "Blackfyre,"? (the ancestral sword of House Targaryen that was taken overseas by the Blackfyres) "Illyrio says he wants to give Young Griff his blessings and has a gift for him in the chests. Haldon tells him there is no time for the litter. Illyrio gets angry and says there are things Griff must know. " Does he want to tell him hes no true Targaryen? ...
