ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[Sirken]

i cant read the WoW chapters. i read a barristan PoV chapter, and i feel like punching myself in the face for dropping book 6 spoilers on myself

[Aenor]

Desperate times.

I've been rereading a Feast for Crows, mostly because I hated it and missed a bunch of shit that happened. ANYWAY:

"The armor of the Others is proof against most ordinary blades, if the tales can be believed," said Sam, "and their own swords are so cold they shatter steel. Fire will dismay them, though, and they are vulnerable to obsidian." He remembered the one he had faced in the haunted forest, and how it had seemed to melt away when he stabbed it with the dragonglass dagger Jon had made for him. "I found one account of the Long Night that spoke of the last hero slaying Others with a blade of dragonsteel. Supposedly they could not stand against it."

"Dragonsteel?" Jon frowned. "Valyrian steel?"

"That was my first thought as well."

"So if I can just convince the lords of the Seven Kingdoms to give us their Valyrian blades, all is saved? That won't be hard." His laugh had no mirth in it. "Did you find who the Others are, where they come from, what they want?"

That's from Chapter 5... I had always assumed that Dragonsteel meant Valyrian steel, because of no real alternative, and because I assumed at this point that Jon was going to be extremely important. I completely missed the Long Night part...
If dragonsteel is Valyrian steel, that would make absolutely no sense so far in the past, at least in my opinion.

Any ideas what Dragonsteel means? I would still assume that it's Valyrian steel, but like I said, that doesn't exactly make sense.

Cant wait for the ultimate twist where Jon has to stab Danny in the heart to create light bringer...

I figured it would be similar to what happened to Beric Dondarrion. And damn there goes my Bran theory

as far as what happens to Beric, surely hes clearly suffering from rezz effects, but Thoros (the guy that rezzed him) did not die. Beric only died so that

 

Cat could be brought back

after the RW.

and so i don't see how Melisandre is in any danger should she rezz

 

Jon

that being said, you should check out Preston Jacobs on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXU...Wd6tAHYO8g9vAA) guy has awesome tinfoil theories that are near impossible to prove wrong (however that still doesnt mean i agree with him).

enjoy

ToJ was Rhaegars happy place. he worshiped the 7, as did his wife. theres no reason to have a weirwood. and since ToJ is between Dorne and the Stormlands, we know the terrain is mostly mountains and desert.

surely anything is possible as none of us know enough about the ToJ, but i just think its very unlikely. im convinced Howland Reed is the only living person that knows what transpired at the ToJ on that day.

Will check out those books, thanks for the recommendations. I have Name of the Wind in my car, I just haven't gotten around to reading it. Re-read the silmarilion here a while ago, then went into Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. Still haven't read Dune and I hear that's a must too.

Haha PJ (preston jacobs) posted something about the great northern conspiracy... Coming from this guy this should be fucking good. I'm really glad I'm like 7 beers in after a bar night reading this, I love this guy

yar, i saw that. tbh, i wasnt crazy about this video. but still entertaining [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] for example, i dont think cat wanted winterfell, i think she just didnt like Jon enough to support him. also Rickon, im convinced will be scooped up by davos, i dont think hes with Moors Umber. steak and kidney pie versus deer pie could easily be an author error, like certain people eye colors as well as the gender of Sandor Clegane's horse. and PJ cant really be right about davos bringing rickon to moors because all these things are happening at the same time as far as we know

edit- also the reason the umbers only have old men and young boys is because all the fighting men went south with the greatjon umber to fight with Robb.

[Mandalore93]

I highly doubt that Rickon's guide would have brought them to the Umbers, the major Stark bannerman closest to the wall and probably the most hostile to wildlings such as Osha. Unless she's been magically ditched.

My latest thinking on the series has been the probable inaccuracy of the strength of the Iron Islands and Robb's seeming inability to fight off what should have been an easy fight.
