redriver Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 In the Hedge knight we see Daerion T explain to Dunk the dream he had about Dunk killing a red dragon, and he said to Dunk " my dream are not like yours, they do come true" (paraphrase). I know he does not worship the old go but do you think that some of the Targaryen are Green-seer?Bloodraven is,of course,so perhaps it's in the blood.Don't know of any others,though I haven't read any more Dunc&Egg.

Rune Targaryen Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Some Targs do have dreams of the future, this does not necessarily means they are greenseer, and even if it does, it was never told that you have to worship the old gods to be a greenseer...In ADWD we are told that the greenseer are probably the old gods.

adamsputnik Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Both appearances by the Others in the books were in the presence of "sentinel" trees.Personally,I think it's probably an irrelevance,but then does George say things without a reason?I can't think of any other mentions of sentinel trees.Sentinel trees are pretty common in the descriptions of the landscape of the North. I am doing a re-read of AGOT and I've already come across a bunch of references around Winterfell and the Haunted Forest around the Wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he does not worship the old go but do you think that some of the Targaryen are Green-seer?No. I think that's of a different stripe than being a greenseer. Two different types of "gifts" that happen to overlap in the prophecy department. No evidence of warging ability or power over nature or anything of that sort in the Targs.

Waterfall Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Stannis pretty much retreated when the Lannister/Tyrell host arrived at Blackwater.As well as that Stannis was heavily outnumbered at the wall but won because the Wildlings were taken by surprise and disorganized.Also Mance dived into the center of the fighting and was captured,essentially causing a mass retreat.Stannis also had trained knights on horseback in full armor who tore through the wildling ranks before they even knew what hit them.Thanks. I forgot the obvious advantage Stannis had with his armored knights, together with the element of suprise. But his armored knights where mostly Florents (Queens men) am I right?Can someone tell me with how much men Stannis attacked Kings Landing, and with how much he landed at Eastwatch? Lastly, when he moved south, did he left all the Queens men, or did he took some with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Rayne Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 At the end of AFfC, why was Leo included in Marwyn's band of conspirators? He didn't seem to get along with the rest of them, especially Alleras and original Pate in the first chapter so isn't it suspicious that he was hanging out with them in the last?

Olorun Sand Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Bloodraven is,of course,so perhaps it's in the blood.Don't know of any others,though I haven't read any more Dunc&Egg.I think Bloodraven said that some Targs have dreams of the future. Not all are interpreted correctly and leads to problems for that person. It reminded me of seeing the future in the red priests flames. I think it was the last Dunc and Egg story.

If you haven't read it yet, you should probably stick to the "Still Reading" section until you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirePenguin Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 What does "thick as thieves" mean? Very close friends? It's about Tyrion and Bronn. The two of them had grown thick as thieves since Chiggen had died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirePenguin Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks.At the part where Brinden was talking about Lysa refusing tons of men for marriage, catelyn replied with this“She says yes, provided she finds a man who suits her,” Brynden Tully said, “but she has already rejected Lord Nestor and a dozen other suitable men. She swears that this time she will choose her lord husband.”“You of all people can scarce fault her for that.”What's the sentence in red mean?Sorry for all my questions but . . . I think I realized now that my English isn't as good as I'd like it to be :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykos Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 @DirePenguinIt means "You of all people can hardly fault her for that"Brynden, "the Blackfish", Tully never got married, even though Lord Hoster Tully really wanted him to. Brynden rejected all marriage proposals. Catelyn says to Brynden, that he can´t criticise Lysa for rejecting Lord Nestor and a dozen other suitable men.

Buckwheat Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 At the end of AFfC, why was Leo included in Marwyn's band of conspirators? He didn't seem to get along with the rest of them, especially Alleras and original Pate in the first chapter so isn't it suspicious that he was hanging out with them in the last?I think it is weird too. I assume that the answer is that GRRM may need a tratior in the group later, so he decided to add a character like that among them. Or to show that the Tyrells had their hands in everytinhg.In-world: Maybe Marwyn had nothing against him like his fellow students did, and I assume he was the one who chose his own conspirators. Other acolytes had nothing to say in that matter, most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirePenguin Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 what does "went to his fate" mean?The dwarf gave a bark of laughter. “Would that I were a pumpkin,” he said. “Alas, my lord father would no doubt be most chagrined if his son of Lannister went to his fate like a load of turnips.

Lykos Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 @DirePenguinThis is when Tyrion goes up to the Eyrie, where he is to be tried. I´m surprised that you understood chagrined (displeased). I didn´t. Went to his fate means went to his destiny.So the whole sentence: “Alas, my lord father would no doubt be most chagrined if his son of Lannister went to his fate like a load of turnips."You can also say: "Unfortunately, my lord father would no doubt be most displeased if his son of Lannister was going to his destiny like a load of turnips."
