re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

The Cranogmen ARE related to the Cotf.

Greywater watch was created by CotF magic at the end of the time of heros when they created the Neck in an attempt to keep the Andals out of the north.

IMHO, FWIW, GFY!!!

It is unknown for how long the children lived alone in Westeros, nor where they themselves came from. Eventually about 12,000 years ago, they came in contact with the First Men, the first outsiders. These invaders brought with them bronze, great leathern shields, and the first horses and their own gods. Burning the great Weirwoods as they came, leading to war between the two.

The two races fought a desperate war for dominance, the children used their magic to shatter the Arm of Dorne, the land-bridge through which the first men came, in a futile attempt to end the invasion and later flooded the Neck, legend has it that the children called upon their gods from the Children's Tower to send the hammer of the waters to smash the Neck, but it was not enough to stop the advance of the First Men. Eventually they fought one another to a standstill. The two races agreed to peaceful coexistence and signed the Pact on the Isle of Faces, granting the open lands to humanity and the forests to the Children.

CotF

The Cranogmen are most closely related to the CotF and the Starks are most closely related to the First Men. They remember the old alliance forged to fight the Others and will honor it again for the same purpose.
