StarksInTheNorth Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Are there any stories or notes of Prince Daemon interacting with his sons, or reacting to the "death" of Prince Viserys? I don't think I've noticed anything on my reread of F&B. I presume Daemon was presumably not that paternal, but surely he would feel something to lose one of his precious sons? IMO it would've been good to mention his reaction when he gets t he news that Aemond has left King's Landing and that they can claim the capital. The news likely arrived around the same time and swearing to avenge his son would've fit. Edit: particularly when you consider how paternal-ish he may have been with Nettles (I'm a much bigger fan of this than the lovers theory).

StarksInTheNorth Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 On 4/26/2022 at 4:21 PM, The Bard of Banefort said: Why did Stannis send fArya to Braavos again? He has not. Jeyne-as-Arya is being sent to Jon Snow at the wall because "a true king pays his debts." Pretty much, Stannis promised Jon to give him Arya, so he is. She is to be escorted there by Justin Massey, who is on his way to Braavos by way of Eastwatch. He is tasked to pay for sellswords and archers to fight for Stannis. However, it's a widely-accepted theory by most of the fandom that Jeyne-as-Arya will end up in Braavos. The theory goes that Justin, Jeyne, and company arrive at Castle Black on the tail end of Jon's death, during the sweet spot between "Jon is dead" and "Jon is alive, part 2." There are two potential backup plans: either send Jeyne with her companion, Alysanne Mormont, to the care of Queen Selyse at the Nightfort, or take her to Braavos. There's more to be done narratively with Jeyne if she's in Braavos, so idea prevails. There's no current POV at the Nightfort and likely not to be one for some time. In comparison, her running into Arya has a lot of potential for the story and their individual development. The Bard of Banefort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya Bolton is arguably the most powerful person in the north. When Sansa undoubtedly hears about her, well , Quote I had hoped to have four or five quiet years to plant some seeds and allow some fruits to ripen, but now . . . it is a good thing that I thrive on chaos. What little peace and order the five kings left us will not long survive the three queens, I fear." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only interesting I can think of is if the real Arya hears that Arya Stark suddenly is in town, but even then it's hard to imagine where it could go from there.

Ser Leftwich Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Are there any theories about the metaphor of the Crakehall's (boars) being related to the eventual fall of Tommen? (Boar killing Robert, Crakehall killing Tommen?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominusNovus Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Is it just me, or, at the start of the books, is Robb a particularly good catch for anyone looking for a powerful marriage alliance?

I assume that Lord Karstark thought that Robb's mother would want next lady of Winterfell to be follower of 7. After all in my head canon having a sept in Winterfell and septa teaching next generation of Starks are very radical ideas. So it is possible that he tried to bypass her by making Robb falling love to Alys. Adam Targaryen and EggBlue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Melnibonean Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Jeyne won't make it to the Wall... Quote "You had best run back to your room, little sister. Septa Mordane will surely be lurking. The longer you hide, the sterner the penance. You'll be sewing all through winter. When the spring thaw comes, they will find your body with a needle still locked tight between your frozen fingers."

TheLastWolf Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Just got a dumb smart question. Will there be any side effects or consequences of SummerBran and Pack eating the undead (moving even as they gorged) flesh of the Wight bear?
