re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Jojen paste = WIFI

I'm currently doing a reread and just got to the Kingsmoot on Old Wyk and found something interesting, that i'm fairly certain hasn't been mentioned here.

In the Damphair's chapter, when the very first claimant to the seastone chair, gets up the Damphair has the following thought:

quote:

---

"Aeron knew some Farwynds, a queer fold who held lands on the westernmost shores of Great Wyk and the scattered isles beyond, rocks so small that most could support but a single household. Of those, the Lonely Light was the most distant, eight days' sail to the northwest among rookeries of seals and sea lions and boundless grey oceans. The Farwynds there were even queerer than the rest. Some said they were skinchangers, unholy creatures who could take on the form of sealions, walruses, even spotted whales, the wolves of the wild sea"

I'm not sure if it means anything but I know that there are different types of dragons because the Kindly Man tells Arya about the Fire Wyrms of old Valyria and others have theorized about an ice dragon and maybe a sea dragon.

I'll leave it to smarter men than me to come up with a crackpot theory I just found that note by the Damphair to be interesting.

Well, the Ironborn are First Men, so I think there definitely could be skinchangers there. As for the sea dragon, there's Nagga's Bones. But I read the the theory that Nagga's Bones may actually petrified weirwood, which may indicate that the Old Gods were worshiped there.

quote:

---

On the crown of the hill four-and-forty monstrous stone ribs rose from the earth like the trunks of great pale trees. The sight made Aeron’s heart beat faster. Nagga had been the first sea dragon, the mightiest ever to rise from the waves. She fed on krakens and leviathans and drowned whole islands in her wrath, yet the Grey King had slain her and the Drowned God had changed her bones to stone so that men might never cease to wonder at the courage of the first of kings. Nagga’s ribs became the beams and pillars of his longhall, just as her jaws became his throne.

The Ironborn also hate ravens and associate them with the Storm God, who's always in conflict with the Drowned God. Then there's the theory that the Iron Islands were once attached to Westeros at one point and separated when the Children tried to bring down the Hammer on the Neck. Hence their hate for ravens, as ravens were associated with the Old Gods (the Children teaching First Men how to use them as messengers), but after a time came to associate ravens with the Storm God because of their water-based culture or w/e.
