Queensmoot Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm also a sucker for back story! I haven't read the Dunk and Egg tales yet, but I'm very interested in summerhall, and actually all of the attempts to bring the dragons back.The story of the Nights Watch commander and the Queen of the Others sounds fascinating. I think that would give us a lot of insight into what the Others are ultimately and how sentient/ social they are.If there was a Simarilion type book I would be all over that.I'm also curious about the various religious beliefs, and whether any or all of them are true. I mean, Melisandre can see things in fire - how does she know that came from R'hollor and not just natural magic? The supernatural and the dogma are quite separate in most of the faiths. I'd like to see that explored further, and I imagine we will in the coming books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Cara Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 What all facts(ie legends) do we know about Westeros? For example we know Lann the Trickster, tricked the Casterly's out of Casterly Rock. We know that Bran the Builder, helped construct The Wall. We know the Nights King might have been a Stark. Those are the 3 tales I want to know more about. Whats yours? I want to know more about the Targayens and The Doom of Valeryia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queensmoot Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I hope that we get a lot of back story and world building in TWOW. I'd especially like to hear about the relationship between the citadel, the faceless men and dragons. Ideally this would shed some light on the Doom of Valyria also. Maybe we could also get some more information on how dragons and riders choose each other, and how they are trained.AFFC: Hopefully some of the dragon info will be in that book Tyrion has mentioned. With Sam in the Citadel with Jaquen/Pate and Marwyn on his way to Dany, I'm sure that we'll learn much and more! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeyouintee Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Great thread. I'd read a-whole-nother series about the Doom of Valyria (assuming Martin could crank out more than a book a decade.) I'd also like more Arthur Dayne, and a play by play of the events surrounding the Tower of Joy incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Eater Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Second, third and fourth! I would really like to learn more about the history and culture of the First Men. We know they lived in barrows and used iron weapons, but where in Essos did they come from? At what point did the Broken Arm get broke? Were the children of the forest in Dorne? Wouldn't strike me that there'd be much forest there. That earliest history of Westeros and the first men would be extremely interesting.The First men used bronze weapons, and barrows aren't dwellings but earth mounds that served as collective tombs. The First Men had a Celtic-like culture with clan-based societies run by chieftans.One legend I would like to learn more about is Old Nan finishing her story of the Last Hero and the Others before she was interrupted. Is there a connection between the Last Hero and Bran the Builder, or is Bran the Builder the Last Hero?I also want to know more about Rhaegar.

Ser_Patreck Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Valyria. Everythings - It's gods, it's culture, it's people, the Doom... And a tale of the First Men. Where did they come from, which Gods they worshiped before the Old Gods of the forest, why did they came to Westeros, which of the modern Houses descend directly from them (Stark, Hightowers, who else?) etc...

Red Wedding Participant Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Lann the CleverValyria. Everythings - It's gods, it's culture, it's people, the Doom... And a tale of the First Men. Where did they come from, which Gods they worshiped before the Old Gods of the forest, why did they came to Westeros, which of the modern Houses descend directly from them (Stark, Hightowers, who else?) etc...This. I have often wondered about the First Men. The Andals came from Andalos, it is known, and kept their gods. The First Men so far seem to only have existed to help George give the North a little bit of a different culture from the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
