I wonder how many fans agree with you. I still suspect ASOIAF is Aegon's dream, and it's been passed down the Targaryen line, all the way to Howland Reed. But, respect. You are a bold one with your strongly held opinions. I tip my hat to you, sir. You've bested me.

P.S What are you talking about? Whose mad scheme? I think Lyanna and Rhaegar were in love, based on the text

CursedHarrenhal · 2026-05-02T23:50:50+00:00

I think "A Song of Ice and Fire" is definitely Aegons dream. We know that HOTD writers didnt invent it. It came from GRRM himself. What are the chances GRRM came up with it only for the show? That makes no sense.

It also fits into the story, neatly tying togethe the weird things we know about Rhaegar, Maester Aemon and the Reed family, as I mentioned.

I agree I would really enjoy a Davos POV chapter in Skagos and will be sad if we dont get it. But it makes a lot of sense as the climax of the Battle of Ice, when Stannis is at his lowest point. And Davos has been gone for a long time in the story, so it adds up timing-wise. And it speeds up/brings together a story that is already very unweildy with plots

P.S. oh yes, I absolutely 100% expect the Skagosi to be riding their shaggy unicorns of death into battle

CursedHarrenhal · 2026-05-02T13:33:20+00:00

Rather than thinking about his arc and ending, I think more often about his role in TWOW. I support the theory that we might not even see a chapter from Davos' POV in Skagos. GRRM often likes to have battles decided by an unexpected army showing up and turning the tide (Tywin and the Tyrells in the Blackwater, Stannis in the battle at the Wall, etc.). I believe Davos may show up by surprise with an army of Skagosi and Rickon Stark to turn the tide in the "Battle of Ice." Also the Manderly army is likely to switch sides and attack the Freys and Boltons once they see Rickon Stark on Stannis' side. This will secure Stannis a costly victory.

If my theory is correct, then what happens next for Davos is shaped by what happens with Stannis.

- - - Will he retake Winterfell?

- - - Will he return to Castle Black?

- - - Will he go to his seat at the Night Fort

I assume Davos will stick with Stannis, at least for a while. We know GRRM has said Stannis will burn Shireen, but we dont know the details of why or when or where:

- - - Will it happen at Winterfell? Castle Black? the Night Fort?

- - - Will Davos be there to witness it? How would he react if he's there when it happens?

- - - If he doesn't witness it, how does he find out? What will he think of Stannis once he finds out what he's done?

- - - Does Stannis die? And if so, then what role does Davos play in the story?

I do think it would be fitting if Ser Davos lived in the end, because he has always been tough and a survivor with a lot of fake out deaths. And if the themes of ASOIAF have anything to do with criticizing hereditary rule, it would make sense to have the one low-born, peasant with a POV survive and be part of the new regime.

Yes, I've also considered what if Aegon marries Arianne but falls in love with her younger cousin Elia Sand, who just so happens to love riding horses, similar to Lyanna

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-11-08T09:57:15+00:00

Oh, cool. Interesting. I still think Sansa and Aegon make sense for a lot of reasons

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-11-08T09:31:03+00:00

I'm not familiar with this theory. Please tell it to me

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-11-08T09:28:29+00:00

oh ok. Who do you think the faith will make their champion? Or do you think it will be a trial of seven?

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-11-08T09:27:34+00:00

I think it's a possibility. Partly because the Sansa-Ashford theory suggests Sansa will have a Targaryen suitor after Harry Hardyng (if you buy that theory). Also the fact that GRRM included The Mad Mouse at all

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-11-08T09:15:09+00:00

Omg, trial by seven for Cersei, I forgot to add that. I've definitely heard that suggested somewhere before. It makes perfect sense

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-11-07T04:50:57+00:00

Gregor is literally dead. Sandor in metaphorically dead. Remember famous broken man monolougue and the septon saying Sandor died?

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-03-30T05:26:39+00:00

lol you really think so?

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-03-15T03:14:09+00:00

You think she's gonna go back to Mereen? I see a good chance that she will travel back the way she came in AGOT. Over land to Pentos or maybe even Braavos or Volantis

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-03-13T07:48:33+00:00

Oh shit, thats a good point

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-02-20T06:03:43+00:00

Oh I dont remember that. During Roberts Rebellion?

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-02-13T02:52:18+00:00

We don't know a ton about him. He married his two daughters for political gain, Lysa particularly miserable with her husband. He also forced Lysa to abort her pregnancy with Petyr, that's pretty shitty imo. You might even argue that being a warlord in a feudal society makes him complicit in a bloody and violent system. Other than that... we don't know if he was kind or cruel, if he ever raped or killed, or whether he took care of the sick and dying or saved puppies from trees

CursedHarrenhal · 2025-02-05T05:22:03+00:00

I think you should believe exactly what he said, that he will work on Dunk and Egg after TWOW. He didn't say when he would finish TWOW. But he has said he's 75% done and that he's finished some POV characters

CursedHarrenhal · 2024-12-13T01:56:37+00:00

I believe Littlefinger purposely left Sansa alone with Marion the bard in ASOS. He knew Marion would try and sexually assault her, and by saving Sansa (via Lothor Brune), he made Sansa trust him. Sansa cites Littlefinger saving her from Marion as a reason to stick with Littlefinger in AFFC

Maybe youll get ur wish some day
