re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

If ole Nan is around 100, that puts her being born right around the same time as Dunk, which was around 192. Likely, she was a little younger than Dunk.

D+N=H (you read it here first)

I also recall that Arya used the alias Nan when at Harrenhal. Nan being short for Nymeria. Interesting, if nothing else.

What I really like is Nan's story of the Last Hero:

quote:

---

So as cold and death filled the earth, the last hero determined to seek out the children, in the hopes that their ancient magics could win back what the armies of men had lost. He set out into the dead lands with a sword, a horse, a dog and a dozen companions.

The entire story is on the Wiki. I think this could foreshadow Jon's story in TWOW. But is also parallels Bran's.
