Señor de la Tormenta Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 what are we supposed to understand by he has no more strenght to do a third shadow baby? That an other one would kill him? Is he weaker now? Is he now a worst soldier? Is he going to live less years? Does he get tired faster? I never really got it...do we have a 50% stannis now? Did he recharge since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 In some (unexplained) way, the creation of a shadow baby weakens the life force of the male partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think it means that Stannis is physically weaker. Ever since the war started it seems he's gotten less bulky and Baratheon-like. He's thinner and more gaunt I would guess.As to how many years he's going to live, I'm not sure whether or not the shadow baby affects that. We aren't really informed on the long term consequences.

Arya kiddin' Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I always made the Horcrux parallel to the shadow babies. They take away part of your soul, and one can make only so many. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Alysanne™ Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Stannis is AAR so the third shadow baby will kill Mel (making her Nissa Nissa) and the third shadow baby will be lightbringer. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baby himself will be the Prince that was promised. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright Blue Eyes Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 tv show stannis seams quite the sameShow is show. And imho :bs:In the books, Davos describes Stannis as very changed after the two shadow babys. Leathery skin drawn tight over the skull, deep-set eyes, gaunt, all the not particularly healthy attributes are new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starve Stephen Dillane until he looks like a skeleton with skin stretched over it? :PJohnny Depp would have done it. :DI think it's very fitting with the tone and style of this series that magic of this kind requires a sacrifice. It's the whole "sword without a hilt" concept again; power such as this should cost a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Puff Fish Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I can't help but wonder if it's sort of like when the Night's King gave his seed to his Other queen, he gave his soul as well. What if Stannis' soul is also part of the transaction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
