re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

i feel sure it was part of the maesters' plan to slowly ween the realm off their use of dragons

As for dragons and stuff...

Brandon Snow, King Torrhen Stark's bastard brother, wanted to kill Aegon's dragon. I think he's the one that Bran sees in his weirwood vision carving 3 weirwood arrows. They went south with an army, and Torrhen ended up changing his mind and sent 3 maesters with Brandon Snow to treat with Aegon.

I think he went south with an army in order to lure all 3 dragons, but only Aegon showed up with Balerion. They couldn't kill just 1 dragon because that would not only piss off Aegon, but his sisters would be much more careful in protecting their dragons and Brandon may not even get a chance to kill them.

Another thing, there's an illustration of a few pages of the new World of Ice and Fire that's due in October (You can pre-order it on amazon). You can look at them here.

There's a page on the Faith Militant Uprising and this caught my eye: "A rainstorm dampened Balerion's fire but could not quench them entirely."

This makes me wonder how effective Dany's dragons would be in a snow storm like that one we see in Winterfell in adwd.

It's a bit of a clusterfrick right now, so I'll need to organize it a bit. I'll post it once I'm done

not if they can't flame on...and don't call me surly

what do you think about the ice dragons from old nan's tales? do you think we see them battle Dany's? maybe jon gets a different dragon than we expect

an ice dragon hiding underneath Winterfell or in the Wall

really? any credence? let me guess, they tried to tie that into the Stark in Winterfell/Crypts theme? it does get cold down there

To this, Archmaester Marwyn reveals...... Ask yourself why Aemon Targaryen was allowed to waste his life upon the Wall, when by rights he should have been raised to archmaester. His blood was why. He could not be trusted. No more than I can."

Is Maester Marwyn a Targaryen/Blackfire?

There's two things I know. First, there's something going on with the crypts. Too much emphasis has been put on them and the dead Starks that are down there. Second, didn't one of the Starks knock someone up who hid in the crypts for months until she had her baby (I can never remember who exactly)? That seems to imply there are things down there that can make you self-sufficient. And I doubt a pregnant woman who is not a Targ could just kick it with a dragon down there.

One of the more interesting things I've heard lately is that the Winterfell lower levels could be full of obsidian and could be the key for defeating the Others.
