Ran Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 So, this is now published, the official companion app to the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Linda and I had a hand in it, and mostly it just covers information that hardcore fans already know or know how to find.But, there are some new things in there, straight from George. And I'm going to reveal one of them:GRRM finally gave us the age of Ser Gerold Dayne. As some of you know, one speculation is that he's in fact Aegon Targaryen. Another that I've seen recently is that he's in fact father to Aegon, by way of Ashara, or something. In the former case, he'd have to be about 18, give or take. In the latter, he'd have to be about of an age with poor, dead Ned, so mid to late 30s.He is neither. Straight from the GRRM, he's in his "late twenties". 26-29. He'd have been about 9-12 at the time of Robert's Rebellion, much too old for Aegon, much too young for Ashara. :smoking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thank you, George, finally all those crackpot theories about Darkstar can die. :cool4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mother of The Others Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Maybe now that he can't rely on being someone else, this will motivate him to do something awesome on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Éadaoin Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Maybe now that he can't rely on being someone else, this will motivate him to do something awesome on his own.I hope not. I kind of like him being decidedly un-awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alester Florent Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 So now he's cool for his own sake, rather than for who he might be. :cool4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab aeterno Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Maybe now that he can't rely on being someone else, this will motivate him to do something awesome on his own.Let's not get carried away here... Dorkstar has to move all the way back up to "mediocre" before he can even dream of reaching "awesome." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zupoleon Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thus eliminates the chance of him being Darkstar(k) - Ashara and Brandon's love child... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaeneryStormBorn Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 But this doesn't eliminate SFDanny theory about DarksStar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It bugs me that some people just can't get over the fact that Darkstar is just a douchebag Dayne of High Hermitage with no secret parentage.But now hopefully they can. :) This is great news!

The Mother of The Others Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 He's gonna drive north thru that mountain pass by highgarden's back door, perhaps with a some lady snakes & their army, and that'll be right about the time that Euron is riding the river straight up to highgarden's front door. There should be an opportunity for something to happen; who can say whether that something will be in the semi-amazing range or if it will rise to the level of turbo-whoa!Maybe Euron will be all, "Who in the blue hell are you?"And D.Star will shoot back, "I'm nobody special!" as he dumps that crippled Tyrell over the castle wall at Euron's feet and then slays the padawan learners and goes on to dismantle the universe!

Ingelheim Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I love Darkstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looks like the app also officially confirms Brynden Rivers is the three-eyed crow/last greenseer. There's some cool additional detail there as well. Great job Elio & Linda! (And George, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor227 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey. You have to remember that with Oberyn dead, Darkstar is the most dangerous man in Dorne. I mean, he managed to succeed in wounding a child!Seriously though, the man has no reputation that we know of. He seems to act like a badass just for its own sake, and that's kind of stupid. He should have had some backstory beyond some "Ooh! We ladies swoon at your feet" handsomeness-description and Doran saying he's the most dangerous man in Dorne, for non-specified reasons (it could just be that the Dornish as a whole aren't very dangerous. So him being somewhat dangerous puts him at the top of the heap).Perhaps Doran was planning to save him for a secret weapon when Daenerys finally makes it to Westeros? Just as she's recovering from mourning Daario and all the people of Meereen, boom! Sic Darkstar on her and subdue that dragon-lady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scipio Africanus Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I hope not. I kind of like him being decidedly un-awesome.Martin was being very naughty to us. The buildup of Douchestar was great. We all thought we had some badass brooding Errol Flynn dude on our hands.And at the "climax" of Douchestar's storyarc, we are so utterly let down, as he gallantly cuts off an unarmed little girl's ear and rides off with his tail between his legs.Oh well Martin still served us up a rehash of the Avengers, all he needs is is a bowler hat for Doran and its go-time.@OPHe could always be a secret Targ, Septon Lemore, Coldhands or the Hooded Man.
