(Probably not.) The "blue moon" also makes me think of the coat of arms of House Arryn, although the moon is the only thing there that isn't blue, and I can't t think of a way in which the other clues might fit in with the Arryns anyway.

Castellan Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I would be happy to have your middle place. Re shadow's clue Spoiler Is it the murder of Renly by a shadow? I am thinking - shadow is not flesh and blood but it gets Renly's blood, also it has Stannis's blood in a way Royal dance - Renly and the shadow have a sort of pas de deux - or else just its the dawn of a great royal battle that involves no Targs Brienne is the Blue Moon and Catelyn is the wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler My idea of "royal dance with no dragons" was from "shadows come to dance", and from Renly and Stannis being siblings who fought over the throne, like the ones during the dance with dragons.

Castellan Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hooray! I thought your comment about Ser being right by accident when he said shadow for the other riddle was a clue, but I couldn't make anything of it until I got got Nymeria howling at the moon out of my head for the third line (I was convinced that was right). I suddenly focused on the fact that there is no 'blue' in the books and just thought that could be wrong, so what Stark could the wolf be and also thought of Brienne for blue moon. I had always thought the first line sounded like the shadow baby and had vaguely correct ideas about the second line. Its funny how your mind drifts around in the right area without you being aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Farewell knight, farewell father, farewell mother, farewell teacher, farewell brother, farewell child. Farewell lord, farewell king? Who or what is left? Spoiler Perhaps its a what and its Winterfell. Well that doesn't really fit it should be farewell children Bran and Rickon and teachers Luwin and Mordan. Spoiler Or it could be Dany. I know neither of these is the correct answer but it feels like I am getting closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 YOMI, me again Spoiler So I made up a solution which I think would be elegant but I know is wrong because you said the child was 'mostly Bran'. Given I know it can't be right, I can't be bothered to work it out in full. I thought it might be partly right though. Selected people who died in ASOIF, in order. The person is described in terms of relationship to the POV of the chapter in which their death occurs. The first person, Knight is Ser Waymar - his status to the brothers with him is as a 'Ser'. Eddard's death is described by Arya, so he is 'Father'. Luwin's is observed by Bran, so he is 'Teacher'. I wasn't sure of mother and for child I thought probably Dany's unborn child. Anyway it doesn't work but is it correct in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
