For sure. I love the mystery surrounding Oldtown and the Citadel. I'm anxious to see Martin flesh it out

The citadel is the most intriguing place left in the series by far

yea I want to know more about that

Also, the Isle of Faces in the God's Eye lake. A lot of stuff has been going on around there, but so far we have not been on the lake or to the Isle of faces. I would be there is a lot of old magic there because it is where the Children of the Forest and the first men signed their treaty.

When it is confirmed that Jon is AA, how will Stannis react? Would he bend the knee to Jon? Will he get killed before that happens?

Earlier in this thread I seem to remember a few people suggesting Harwin may be the hooded man in Winterfell. I just got done reading the last Brienne chapter in AFFC and a young Northman was there and talked often. Unless another northman was part of the BWB, I feel like this takes Harwin out as an option.

Well the brotherhood without banners is made up of former members of Ned's household guard. I would think there would be another northman there.

If the Mountain doesn't have a head how can he see to do stuff?

The BWB was hanging around the Riverlands, one of them could have hidden themselves with the Freys and snuck up with them to Winterfell. The Hooded Man recognized Theon and knew his way around there.

It was not his head that was sent to Dorne. Just some giant skull.

I thought it was really his. I thought I read it had to be cause it was too small to be a giant's and too big to be anyone else's. Remind me, who's he gonna fight in the trial?

Introduced into A Dance with Dragons is the silent “Ser Robert Strong”, recommended by Qyburn and placed in the Kingsguard after Cersei urged it on Ser Kevan. This is, clearly, Ser Gregor… or what remains of him. It’s noted that he does not speak (allegedly because he has sworn a vow of silence), does not seem to eat, use the privy, or even sleep, suggesting that whatever Qyburn has done has left Gregor as something inhuman and perhaps not even truly alive, as Kevan speculates.

Just finishing the Egg & Dunk series, and have come to wonder if Coldhands is Bloodraven. I don't recall if this was a theory thrown out earlier in this thread, but there is a certain saying that brings me to this conclusion. Bloodraven has a thousand eyes and one.

Coldhands has a flock of ravens with a thousand eyes, as it mentions in ADWD. Add 1 eye for Coldhands himself, and this leads to Bloodraven. Thoughts?

Bloodraven is currently the three eyed crow and embedded inside weir wood roots at the moment as the three eyed crow. The three eyed crow's appearance matches bloodravens exactly and he even mentions having a thousand eyes and one at one point.

I think cold hands is a wight that is being warged into by Bloodraven somehow though

Thought this was cool so I thought I'd post. Still on the first part of the first book again. God I forgot how much of a douche Joffrey is, even at the beginning.

Well the pic I was trying to post is acting funny and I'm on my phone so ill just give the link.

This all makes sense. I knew I read somewhere in ASOIAF about someone having "a thousand eyes". Then when I read Egg & Dunk, and they kept repeating "Bloodraven has a thousand eyes and one", it came back to me. I just re-read the chapters involving Coldhands, and at one point Bran notices that he sometimes closes his "eyes" (plural). Therefore, Coldhands wouldn't be Bloodraven directly. What is his goal or endgame in this?

A theory I have that no one else really believes, hell I'm not sure I believe it to be honest, is that Bloodraven is evil and is actually the Great Other that Melisandre speaks of.

He is out for vengeance along with the children of the forest against the people of the seven kingdoms who drove them both from their homes. They have found a way to control the others or worked out a deal with them and are leading them on a campaign against the descendants of the Andals. However Bloodraven is dying, he needs an heir, someone as powerful as he is to carry out his work. Thats where Bran comes in.
