Theon knowing Sigils and Compass Directions


Angel Eyes

Recommended Posts

In Season 3, Theon is strapped to a large X, a flaying cross. Then the janitor (Ramsay) tells him to ride eastward to Deepwood Motte. Then while he’s on the cross again, he’s asked about where he is, and then gets his finger flayed. Was Theon ever taught geography or Houses of the North? The Iron Islands are west of Westeros, and Deepwood Motte is in the northwest of the North. How does he not know these things?

He was abducted. This is not a question about houses, but about location. It could be any of the many strongholds of the North.

Remind yourself that Ramsay is a bastard son and while Theon grew up at Winterfell, Ramsay was not a known son of the Bolton house.

probably that the showrunners just didn't put that much thought into it

And that is true, too, unfortunately.
