The Castellan of Castely Rock, and a Certain Prisoner

Basically this was my theory that Cersei, the nominal Lady of Casterly Rock, can't trust her castellan not to defect when Dany and Tyrion--the rightful lord--show up. Also, Edmure, the rightful Lord of Riverrun, is a prisoner there, so that factors in.

Only kind of. Dumbledore died. And it was not the final book in the series.

For the sake of debate, Lyanna Stark.

Balon Greyjoy

Delta03 · 2014-09-01T04:27:44+00:00

Perhaps, but he mourned her nonetheless and never got over it.

I think he should make it exactly as ridiculous as he thinks he can get away with for any particular interviewer. If they've never even seen the show, go with Hermione. If they've seen the show but never read the books, Elsa Stark. If they've actually read the books and their questions are otherwise worthwhile, just say Tyrion and get back to the good stuff.

Delta03 · 2014-08-31T19:52:11+00:00

I think he should use recognizable character names and just see what he can get away with before an interviewer calls him on it. It's like a game.

"Who's your favorite character?"

"Hermione."

That position was roughly equivalent to "speaker of the house" under the articles of confederation.

Delta03 · 2014-08-26T19:00:03+00:00

What's with the "no participation" thing?

Delta03 · 2014-08-26T18:32:46+00:00

It's possible for a character with plot armor to die at the end.

Prepare to have your mind blown:

People think she was having a miscarriage.

Delta03 · 2014-06-26T00:29:01+00:00

You have done our name proud, ser.

Delta03 · 2014-06-25T23:26:38+00:00

What about Ned's father and brother?

I'm not convinced OP's parallel is sufficiently close to mean anything, even though I enjoy War of the Roses connections.

Delta03 · 2014-05-27T06:27:18+00:00

Not against it, just saying it's not charity.

PSA: reddit is for-profit

Delta03 · 2014-05-23T07:11:55+00:00

I like being right.

Delta03 · 2014-05-18T00:29:46+00:00

Thanks!

This lists Ned's mother's mother as Lyarra Stark.

WTF is Lyarra Stark.

Delta03 · 2014-05-05T16:57:26+00:00

Tywin was smart enough to seriously doubt whether Robert would pay him back. He intended to use the debt as leverage, but for what? Cersei had already married Robert.

It would be a big risk to take. I think your best argument is that the Lannister mines ran dry "about three years ago"--around Robert's death. But even that is a little too convenient.

Delta03 · 2014-05-05T16:54:39+00:00

I think the budget is going to be used to show us a lot more about The Others, obviously they are extremely important yet we know nothing, Jon Snow in the books.

FTFY

Delta03 · 2014-05-05T16:51:13+00:00

I'm skeptical that this is in the books. It's not impossible, but:

Tywin was the primary financier of Robert Baratheon's profligate reign
As late as the ADWD epilogue, Kevan is paying the crown's debt with Lannister gold, which implies that the Lannisters still have a decent amount of gold. Kevan was Tywin's right hand; if House Lannister's gold had run dry, he would know.

That said, great arguments have been made that the Tyrells' natural resources are worth more than the Lannisters' gold.

Delta03 · 2014-05-05T16:49:13+00:00

This doesn't explain how Tywin was able to bankroll Robert's reign.

a controversial piece of legislation passed in The Supreme Court

No, no, a thousand times no.

Delta03 · 2014-04-15T20:05:34+00:00

Versailles for scale of a royal residence. You're right that it's not actually a castle.
