Even thought this is one month old now, Imma still reply to this lol As far as I remember George RR Martin once said that it does snow sometimes in the south, but almost never in Dorne..? So I'd say that the temperature in Dorne stays quite the same, even in winter, maybe it has minimal changes that aren't really noticeable but that's just my guess. Anyways, I think he mentioned it somewhere right here: http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/The_Effects_of_Winter/ Adam Targaryen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but I assumed it could still get a bit colder even though it doesn't snow. EggBlue and Adam Targaryen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Corlys Velaryon Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 @Loose Bolt My guess is that House Swyft supported the Blackfyres at least once. And so, like the Conningtons & Darrys after Robert's Rebellion, the Swyfts were reduced from lords to landed knights. If perhaps not losing so much land & wealth as those two houses. Plus, with Cornfield's proximity to regionally-powerful Crakehall - assuming Redtusk indeed was from the namesake house, that is - it's not hard to imagine them fighting for the Black Dragon. Redtusk could've been married to a Swyft, counted one as his (grand)mother, been good friends with the lord/heir, or whatever. And as they almost certainly weren't among the most powerful of Lannister vassals anyway, Daeron II would've had more leeway to punish the Swyfts thusly. Compared to the likes of the Brackens to the Tullys, Yronwoods to the Martells, & (possibly) the Crakehalls &/or Reynes to the Lannisters - all of whom retained their lordly status, at least.

Lady Em Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Do we ever got to know how Jaquen H'ghar was captured by Yoren in ACOK? I'm just wondering how someone so skilled could get captured. Maybe he got caught while fulfilling an "order" he got? But idk, what do yall think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a great theory by In Deep Geek about this: Jaqen was hired by Littlefinger to kill Ned. Ned was supposed to be in Yoren's caravan to the Wall. So Jaqen needs to get on the caravan too, and the easiest way to do it is to be in the black cells, because that's where Yoren goes to get recruits. But Ned was executed before getting on the caravan, so Jaqen moved on to his next objective in Oldtown.

I've only heard about the theory that Syrio Forell is Jaquen H'ghar, but idk what to think about that. The theory with Ned and Petyr definitely makes more sense tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggBlue Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Quote Let it not be forgotten: in his youth, Daemon Targaryen had been the “Prince of the City,” his face and laugh familiar to every cutpurse, whore, and gambler in Flea Bottom. The prince still had friends in the low places of King’s Landing, and followers amongst the gold cloaks. Unbeknownst to King Aegon, the Hand, or the Queen Dowager, he had allies at court as well, even on the green council… who was Daemon's ally in Green Council?

The Bard of Banefort Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hmmm could it have been part of Black Betha’s plan to unite the realm? (I think the timeline works out). Or maybe it was Branda’s decision and part of the trend of noblewomen marrying someone beneath their station to escape the marriage pawn game. . .

Not sure, but Egg may have still been betrothed to his sister Daella at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
