King Doug Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Are there any unnaturally tall women other than Brienne? Someone really ladylike but super tall..There's also the woman that Dunk saved in The Hedge Knight. I can't remember her name but her nickname was 'Too-Tall' and Dunk was very taken with her. He always referred to her as 'not too-tall for me'. She was supposed to be attractive and more ladylike. But she was a commoner and I get the feeling you were looking for more of a highborn lady.

Osha is a tall woman as is Asha Greyjoy. Then there's Pretty Merris (or whatever her name was). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Leftwich Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Do we have any information about the color of dragon's blood? Or for that matter the blood color of any living things that are not humans. For instance: giants, CotF, dragons, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod The Impaler Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 The books state that there are "lizard-lions" (I assume this means alligators / crocodiles) living in the swamps of The Neck.It may be the southern edge of the North, but still probably prone to cool summers and cold winters. How do such creatures survive there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do such creatures survive there ?The American alligator, the Chinese alligator, and the broad-snouted caiman live in temperate climates, and can tolerate occasional frost or freezing. There are records of alligators surviving beneath ice as long as they can continue to breathe. Of course, alligators normally become quiescent in cold weather anyway. They dig deep burrows into the banks of rivers and lakes and retire to them. They don't hibernate in the strict sense, because they don't reduce their metabolism down close to zero. But they're able to tolerate low temperature quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolene Brown Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm not sure if Brienne is 'unnaturally' tall. Wasn't Pretty Meris described as a tall woman?ETA Yep. It's in ADWD The Windblown. "Just a thumb under six feet".I think Brienne is meant to be unnaturally tall for a woman - somewhere I thought I read that she's close to Robert's height, and slightly taller than Renly and Jaime, who are both tall. Dacey Mormont was around six feet wasn't she? She got the bonus - tall and pretty. Too bad she didn't get to enjoy it longer. Poor Dacey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balintos Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Why can't Jon request a maester from the Citadel? Why do the maesters of the Nights Watch have to be members of the Watch?He should request a maestar at least for the time while Sam is forging his chain.

Aemon did just to finally put an end to his claim to the throne. I'm not sure about the other maesters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He joined the Watch to get out of Aegon's way - so ppl wouldnt try to use him as leverage w Aegon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 As a maester, he already puts an end to his claim.But maesters can become ex-maesters, as we have seen with Qyburn. Night's Watchmen don't become ex-Night's Watchmen, they just become dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cersei thinks she can so whatever she wants with no consequences. She is learning (slowly) that she cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
