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? Hide contents Sorry, my riddle isn't quiet so eloborate. The order is probably not completely correct, I fear. Anyway, I said "the child is kind of Bran", not "mostly Bran". General hint to my riddle: Hide contents Some of the "persons" bidded farewell are real people, others are just concepts.

Farewell lord, farewell king? Who or what is left? Spoiler Could we say that after all those farewells perhaps no one is left? is the answer Arya as a Faceless Woman? ... Or ... no?

Ser Not Appearing Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 There are no farewells left, we know that much. They were all used up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Consolidated list of people's answers to Yomi's riddle. Spoiler a shadow! - SNA sister and direwolf - Fragile Bird confusion - Castellan A bear. There's always a bear - DG The Stranger - Lady B The Night's Watch - Lady B A Queen - Lady B Jaime's fighting hand - SNA Winterfell - Castellan Dany - Castellan Sorrow - Castellan Castellan asked if it was a list of people who had died, in order, and described by their relationship to the POV whose chapter they die in (eg father is Eddard, death shown in Arya's POV) After all those farewells No one is left? Arya as a Faceless Woman? - Julia H There are no farewells left - they are all used up SNA Consolidated hints by YOMI Spoiler general hint: Some of the 'persons" bidded farewell to are real people others are just concepts in response to castellans ideas about Winterfell and Dany The teacher is mostly Luwin and the child is kind of Bran in response to castellan's muddled idea about the list of dead characters Sorry my riddle isn't quite so elaborate. The order is a bit muddled I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I am giving up, that's why i have gathered the answers and hints for some other fool to break their brain on. I can't find a point of access to this riddle at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksniffer Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 i hate riddles...but my guess is Spoiler the nightswatch oath... the farewells are the shit you have to give up to be the watcher on the wall....but if the question is what is missing, it is "farewell wife"...

Castellan Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hmmm my first game with no prelims, just yes/no purchased hints. I am trying to work out if it is worth spending the points. And what questions could be asked?' This requires some thought. I have never been good at budgeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night'sQueen Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 yomi = diabolical genius Or, alternatively, I need to lay off the purple voodoo edibles. But I'm really banking on the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It's bad that I have still only had a couple of cursory glances at the clues. I've spent far too much of my forum game time on Renly in acrophobia with those tricksy letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
