Modesty Lannister Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It takes a very tendentious reading to go from eight cairns and only 2 of 10 survived to "Nah, some of those are alive as well."One might as well suppose Dayne is dead, and the White Bull is alive. Or maybe it's Oswell Whent?It's not as if Ned hated those men. It's a tragedy that they all fought, and eight men died. It's weird and not very Ned-like to have Ned's bitterness be solely about his buddies, and not these noble Kingsguard whom he respected and admired dying in the fulfillment of their vows, but that's what you're requiring with that reading.The text never said they fought. It says "they came together in rush of steel and shadow". That does not necessarily mean they fought. Where does this certainty come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
