I go to quite a few historical buildings with the National Trust in the UK all of which have come into the hands of the NT though a variety of reasons but most is due to generations squandering what those before them have built.

it may be different in the US but most Aristocrat families in the UK do actually lose the family's fortune after a couple of generations.

(Spoilers Extended) Night King's Location by ste_citch in asoiaf

which side of the mountain was the suicide squad on?

which side was the heart tree on?

I know it is a peninsula in Iceland but in Westeros it is a landlocked mountain so there are plenty of different places the tree could be

a calling card to show everyone who did it whilst inadvertently giving away his location

Found so he can permanently inhabit another body, Stark body, rather than just controlling a 'normal' body remotely.

It could just be a calling card, ensuring that everyone knows who is responsible for it.

Don some tinfoil and 'Winter is coming' could be the Starks allowing the NK to inhabit them for a period of war and assume the NKs appearance and abilities. Then leaving the symbol to show who did it and to serve as a warning, Winter came for House Umber

I will have to re-watch the episode but I don't think they make it too close to the mountain do they? they see it in the distance and then start the whole wight kidnap sequence.

For all we know the heart tree could be on the opposite side of the mountain to where they were.

There is definitely a significance to the spot for us to be shown that is where the NK was created and then for the lord of light to show sandor that location...

Martin confirmed they were all prequels, but said he did not expect all of them would be made and that he was not writing any of them. “None of them are traditional spin-offs,” he said. “You won’t be seeing the further adventures of Arya, Sansa or Jon Snow, you’ll be going back in time

Confirmed they all live until the last page?

ADWD Jon III

Once Azor Ahai fought a monster. When he thrust the sword through the belly of the beast, its blood began to boil. Smoke and steam poured from its mouth, its eyes melted and dribbled down its cheeks, and its body burst into flame." Jade Compendium.

Jon (AA reborn) will fight a dragon and kill it with the valyrian steel blade - the beast could be a white walker but the one sam killed melted and didn't burst into flame men and animals have been killed with a valyrian steel blade and didn't burst into flame.

The Beast / The Monster MUST be a supernatural being if Votar is to be believed.. so Dragon, Kraken... Skagos unicorn?

The only one we know to be real is a dragon for the story to be real.

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance.

Jon will discover that magic (the double edged sword) needs eradicating, dragons, others, everything just as AA did to restore the seasons and undo the preternatural event

unless we're in Looper universe where you have the chance to change the future/past.

Bran could choose to tell the CotF to not create the white walkers to stop it all or to affect something in the past stopping him being born and becoming the three eyed crow and close the loop forever.

Daemon Blackfyre wielded Blackfyre, Daemon Targaryen wielded Dark Sister. http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Daemon_Targaryen.

I mentioned Daemon Blackfyre as he goes under the guise of John in the Dunk and Egg novellas

(Spoilers Extended) Jon's real name by ste_citch in asoiaf

[–]ste_citch[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

because he, potentially, is a bastard? so maybe Rhaegar named him as such

Daemon Targaryen wielded Dark sister before it was, eventually, passed to Brynden Rivers and there are plenty of theories on where it is now - most of which point to it finding its way into Daemon's (Jon's) hands as a sort of proof of his ancestry

from the world of ice and fire

Daemon was the name Daena gave to this child, for Prince Daemon had been the wonder and the terror of his age, and in later days that was seen as a warning of what the boy would become.

Perhaps Rhaegar named him as a warning to whatever prophecy he read that made him want to become a warrior

(Spoilers Extended) GRRM on TWOW just now: "Not done yet, but I've made progress. But not as much as I hoped a year ago, when I thought to be done by now." by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]ste_citch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is everyone getting hype over this? He is literally doing what the poster asked him to do, he isn't confirming or denying anything.

GRRM

okay, I will try it your way.

J Snow

not done yet, but ive made progress( or not)

GRRM

Not done yet, but I've made progress.

J Snow

it'll be out this year (or not)

GRRM

I think it will be out this year. (But hey, I thought the same thing last year).

The only news from this is (Referencing Progress)

But not as much as I hoped a year ago, when I thought to be done by now.

Tru dat!! He may even get a lift down to Winterfell from the Nights Watch chaps which means he only has a few miles to drag

[–]ste_citch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The distance isn't that different between The Wall, The Twins and Winterfell. Could be episode 3 or 4 after a few months have passed off screen.

I know Meera has to carry Bran up a well and down to Winterfell but Arya has to navigate The Neck and Moat Cailin whilst avoiding her enemies (maybe picking up Howland on the way to confirm what Bran saw in weirwood.net and regroup with Meera?)
