mindchap Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 From the previous topicAny chance you think the Sothoros continent will make an appearance? Or any other general info about it?It's on the maps that were published but just like Ulthos I think it is mainly just to fill in space. Or perhaps when he finishes this story it gives him more places to go if he writes other stories set in the same universe.Does the red god require people to be burned alive or is that something only melisandre or other fanatics of that religion do? I don't remember thoros burning people.I'm beginning to wonder about this too, if Thoros can revive Berric as often as he has without a sacrifice, then either it's not required or Mel just isn't as good as she thinks she is.

I am sarting to wonder how "organized" the cult of R'hllor really is compared to the Faith for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewingedwolf Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Why were there no naval battles in Robert's rebellion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Gwynhyfvar Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Why were there no naval battles in Robert's rebellion?Afaik, the only naval forces belonged to the Redwynes (together with the Shield Islanders) and the Greyjoys/Iron Islanders. Since the Greyjoys stayed apart from the rebellion, the Redwynes, as Targ loyalists, had no one to fight with at sea and stayed occupied with the naval blockade of Storm's End.eta- I believe the Velaryons were traditional Masters of Ship for their Targ kinsmen. I don't recall mention of any of them in connection with RR though, although it would be the same story if they were involved- Targ ships with no one to fight against.

Manderlay Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Why were there no naval battles in Robert's rebellion?There were sort of naval tactics, but not battles in the sense you mean, Redywne Fleet blockaded SE, Stannis went to Dragonstone with his fleet to take it from the Targaryens, but most of the Targaryen fleet was destroyed during the storm.

Manderlay Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Does the Vale have a navy?well it must have a small fleet since Gulltown is roughly the same size of White Harbour and a port city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Gwynhyfvar Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 well it must have a small fleet since Gulltown is roughly the same size of White Harbour and a port city.I think it's principally a trading port, although you'll recall the lords of Gulltown did try to prevent Robert from sailing from the Vale to the Stormlands. Same story as the Redwynes and Velaryons though- they were Targ loyalists and the rebels really didn't seem to have any ships of their own. Robert ultimately defeated the lords of Gulltown in a land battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewingedwolf Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 well it must have a small fleet since Gulltown is roughly the same size of White Harbour and a port city.They must have a way to protect Gulltown from piracy and reaving and such. I am fascinated by the Vale. I sincerely hope we find out more about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manderlay Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Do the Boltons use melted down human flesh for their pink seals?Don't think so, AfaiK No, there is no indication that the Boltons do that, they used to wear the skins of their enemies but that was long ago.

Eir Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 From the previous thread: did Dolorous Edd nominate Jon for Lord Commander in collusion with Sam? Or did he nominate him because he wanted to, and it just happened to fit in with Sam's plans and save Sam from having to nominate Jon himself?ETA: This may not be a small question, thinking about it, but I'm just curious about the sequence of events. Did Sam plan to nominate Jon himself and then find out he'd already been nominated by Edd? Or did he plan it out with Edd ahead of time, once he'd decided that Jon would make a good compromise candidate? (Or is this not mentioned at all?)

(Or is this not mentioned at all?)Sam must have certainly talked to Edd after talking to Mallister and Pyke, that way he could get Jon in the choosing of the LC, since no one nominated him at first, neither was he interested, so when the time came Edd withdrew and nominated Jon.

Manderlay Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Is Varys really a Eunuch?? Yes, everyone calls him a eunuch and his story on how he was cut when he tells Tyrion, was the only time I think Varys was being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewingedwolf Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yes, everyone calls him a eunuch and his story on how he was cut when he tells Tyrion, was the only time I think Varys was being honest.Yet we have never had any actual proof of it.

thewingedwolf Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yes, but there is no reason to think otherwise as wellFair enough. I will say however that if it turns out he is not a eunuch that would be his greatest feat of mummery would it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
