Just finished DwD, so I am new to this thread, & have a couple of questions that have likely already been brought up-


1) What happened to Robb's letter?
Prior to the RW in SOS Robb sent a letter North with a Mormont(Jorah's sister or cousin) I assumed it would legitimize Jon & name him King of the North. Wasn't shown in the show & don't think it has come up in the last 2 books.

2)Varys' deals
Did he have Tyrek killed or captured? Seems to me that once Lancel confessed, what good would Tyrek's info be?

Why would Varys conspire to a deal that would marry Arianne to Viserys, if he knew that Rhaegar's son was still alive?

1. A mormont chick has the letter, she is currently searching for Greywater Watch and Howland Reed.

Tyrek has me at a complete loss. I think he knew that Viserys wouldn't make it across the Dothraki sea. He and Viserys manipulated him from the start to remove him. By marrying Aegon to Dany, it brings the Targ Blackfyre lines together.

Pretty sure Howland Reed has it at this point.

Well, personally I think he planned on using Tyrek as a possible heir to Casterly Rock once the Lannisters were eliminated, and they could mold Tyrek to the person they want him to be. Then again it's clear Varys wants to use Tyrion to his own gain.

Because Varys had nothing to do with that. That was all the Red Viper and Doran Martell's deal. Varys didn't start manipulating Dany until shortly before the first book.
