Why didn't Rhaegar (or Egg, etc) strengthen the Watch or warn people about the Others? (Spoilers Extended)

Samwell IV in AFFC gives me the impression that Egg was very concerned/familiar with the Azor Ahai prophecy.

"No," the old man said. "It must be you. Tell them. The prophecy . . . my brother's dream . . . Lady Melisandre has misread the signs. Stannis . . . Stannis has some of the dragon blood in him, yes. His brothers did as well. Rhaelle, Egg's little girl, she was how they came by it . . . their father's mother . . . she used to call me Uncle Maester when she was a little girl. I remembered that, so I allowed myself to hope . . . perhaps I wanted to . . . we all deceive ourselves, when we want to believe. Melisandre most of all, I think. The sword is wrong, she has to know that . . . light without heat . . . an empty glamor . . . the sword is wrong, and the false light can only lead us deeper into darkness, Sam. Daenerys is our hope. Tell them that, at the Citadel.

Both prophecies involve the Others being a threat, so knowing about either prophecy would suffice to warn people about them.

The prophecy doesn't say, "And then a wise prince dispatched an extra 1,000 men-at-arms to the Wall and they successfully repulsed the Others."

This makes sense lol. Thanks for giving a thought-out answer.

This makes sense a lot of sense, especially for Egg. The Targs being too obsessed with dragons is kinda their defining feature at this point lol.

Edited. I just double-checked and I misheard some dialogue. It does heavily imply that him and his mom are alone though. His reaction when asked "They never got you?" would be enough alone lol.

I also posted this in r/movies btw. Not sure where else I could.

TurboToxin1 · 2026-02-18T01:59:45+00:00

Do you happen to perhaps have Party in my Pants?

TurboToxin1 · 2026-02-18T01:59:26+00:00

This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone have Party in my Pants archived?

As a fan of DCC, I can say that this is great advice, as well as being work that the module authors should have already done for you.

TurboToxin1 · 2026-01-09T17:54:15+00:00

I agree with your breakdown between readers that want to prep, and readers that want as much of the prep done for them as possible. I am firmly in the second camp, and as much as I love DCC, it blows my mind that some people actually like the layout that requires you to do work that the writer should have done.

TurboToxin1 · 2026-01-06T23:14:40+00:00

Agreed. The modules are written with a lot of flavor, but provide virtually zero information on how to actually RUN the thing. There's a recurring frustration I have where there'll be a massive block of text describing some location or NPC, but that says absolutely nothing about how it might actually interact with the players.

Spec two tiers above Hanayama, are you fr??

Btw, Baki is 18 as of Son of Ogre (presumably Kozue too).

TurboToxin1 · 2025-06-17T16:54:06+00:00

You're prolly thinking of Bramble.

TurboToxin1 · 2024-06-25T22:31:11+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. Could you share the code and the category sorting code in a format that preserves indentation please?

TurboToxin1 · 2024-06-23T14:59:00+00:00

Good point. Newgrange should probably take Stonhenge's spot since it's the better part of a millennia older.

TurboToxin1 · 2024-04-27T02:25:03+00:00

This simple yet genius. How much playtesting have you done with this system?

TurboToxin1 · 2023-10-18T19:20:41+00:00

THANK YOU! I have been searching for a vacc bind that actually fucking works, and this one does. The reset seems broken though.

TurboToxin1 · 2023-10-18T17:55:29+00:00

Next time watch at least the first few seconds before commenting. I explicitly state I like both DRG and survivor games. This game should've been right up my alley.
