butterbumps! 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:This inspired me to download the app, so thank you and very nice job. I am kind of curious though. In looking through it, the rest of the Daynes (aside from Edric, I think) are noticeably omitted, which of course only furthers my curiosity about them-- it looks like there aren't any entries on the rest. Do you happen to know if this is something that will be added before the next book in an update or the like, or information we'll only get after we "keep reading?"

Sworn Shield Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thank god Darkstar = Darkstar. Now that he is just another average guy in Westeros, he can die like a average guy in Westeros when Balon Swann smashes him in the face with his Morningstar.

Ran Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 I can't say what future update plans are. I think the focus had been primarily on characters present at the time of the novels, with only the occasional pre-novels character sneaking in. Perhaps there'll be more of those, down the road.

SFDanny Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thank you, Ran!Not that it changes my theory he is Aerion "Brightflame" Targaryen's son's grandchild! :drunk:Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 I should add that this World of Ice and Fire app is not the same thing as the World of Ice and Fire book. The name might confuse things, I guess. :)As to the Aerion Brightflame theory, seems to me that the moment when Arianne thinks she'd have children as beautiful as dragonlords with Darkstar would be the exact moment when we'd be told that that's because Darkstar has a drop of Targaryen blood from several generations ago. So, you know where I stand on that one. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittykatknits Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I think the most important takeaway from this is that Darkstar may not be Aegon or Ned's secret love child, but that doesn't mean we have to stop making fun of him. And really, that's all that matters....ETA: going to download the app now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilrob6 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 hahaha what was it Arrianne said "but Darkstar was Darkstar" how right she turned out to beYeah, this is awesome foreshadowing about who Darkstar really is. Sometimes a Darkstar is just a Darkstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab aeterno Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yeah, this is awesome foreshadowing about who Darkstar really is. Sometimes a Darkstar is just a Darkstar.And sometimes he is a Dorkstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashur Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Dorkstar? Douchestar? Everybody seems quite cynical about Darkstar. The fact is... we know nothing ;) all we have si a few facts, and Doran's words to Arianne, and by know you should know that Doran is a liar. In fact, i guess he's the Big Liar. He lied to Arianne several times, and at the end, he always find great excuses. And... eh... someone really believes Doran when he told Arianne that he knows about her plan on crowning Myrcella, but he didn't stopped it because he was expecting her beloved sweet girl to change her mind? There are people who talk, yes... specially if they were on the plot since the beginning. it was cool that thing about the viper and the grass, quite a Zen guy this Doran, but i now tend to think that the real viper is not already gone.Anyway, we have to wait for see. I seriously doubt it ending with a combat with Swann. Something different is to happend in High Hermitage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that he says Men call me Darkstar, and I am of the night. without any hint of irony, and we know that he is incapable of defeating an unarmed young girl.

He's the least dangerous man in Dorne. You had absolutely no chance of success with him on board. Seriously, I saw him try to fight his way out of a paper bag once."
