Yes, the grave digger I referenced.

My guess at some point it will be the Grave Digger vs Ser Robert Strong facing off in mortal combat.

My point is in the show, the moment she decided to go after Stannis, Sansa lit the candle in the tower for help and she was not there. So in a sense, she was not doing her duty.

So, here's a question:

Did the Targaryens not have a Valyrian sword? And if Rhaegar had had one on the Trident, would his battle with Robert and his war hammer come out any differently?

They had two, Blackfyre and Dark Sister, both of which were lost during the Blackfyre rebellion.

Dark Sister wasn't lost, it is unknown what happen to it when Lord Blood Raven was sent to the Wall.

If Brynden Rivers is still is possession of the sword?

I guess you're right. For some reason I thought the last mention of it was during Bloodraven's battle with Bittersteel. But evidently he had it in his possession when he was serving as Hand of the King. It's weird that nothing else has come up about it, especially since the Targs no longer have one, you would've thought that they would've kept Dark Sister instead of letting Bloodraven take it to the wall. But Mormont took his to the wall, but that was because his heir was banished from Westeros. I have a feeling that if anyone finds it, it'll be Dany that takes possession of it.

Speaking of Melisandre, there's no telling what she really looks like. Considering how well she glamours things, she is probably catfishing everyone when it comes to her own appearance.


I'm kind of proud of this post from Nov. 2013, but I admit it wasn't much of a leap.

it is unknown to the reader, but I wouldnt say it was lost. Someone alive knows what he did with it.

Edric Dayne was with his Uncle Beric Dondarrion, now is following Lady Stoneheart. In the show I believe they showed him teaching Arya how to shoot a bow & arrow.

Good call

I thought it might be Edric, figured he was one of the characters that were on screen but not mentioned, like Maege Mormont & Ser Oakheart.

Any good crackpot theories about the true Horn of Winter?

I'm on board that the cracked horn Sam has, found in the obsidian cache, is the real Horn of Winter.

I wonder how it could be used against the Others.

More likely than not the major use of any horn will be to bring down the wall (and well maybe to try dragon binding by whatever Ironborn goes to Mereen). I just don't see one being used successfully against the others.

Here's a question - will the White Walkers be developed to any extent beyond just being bogeymen?

I think we are (kind of) safe now in assuming that they are perhaps the Night's King and Craster's sons whom he changes in infancy (though now that I've typed that, I seem to remember that the White Walkers were there before the NK cause he was supposed to have slept with a female one or some such thing).
