If so then the tale that might parallel Bran being in Bloodraven’s cave might be the tale of Aladdin, where Aladdin ends up getting lured into and trapped in a magic cave by a sorcerer who passed himself off as Aladdin’s uncle. Hah! That would be like Martin and yet the cave of skulls reminds me so much of Moria with it's bones. It even has a stone bridge crossing a chasm and passages that go down to a sunless sea. Makes me wonder if there is something dangerous down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnS Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 I just finished watching Babylon 5 the complete series. It's all about war, religion., It has a Night Watch made up of rangers who guard against the darkness, shadows and the long night. The captain's name is John.
