This thread is awesome as well

I mentioned this in the Crackpot thread but damn Arya throwing rocks at Nymeria and Ned killing Lady is going to be heartbreaking

Does anyone in this thread remember Ned later thinking what a terrible mistake he made by killing the sigil of his house and wondering if he had cursed the Starks or something like that? Please keep an eye out for that on the reread.

Also, the talk about Bloodraven in this got me wondering, does the information on him mainly come from Dunk and Egg?

WOIAF talks about him fighting for the King against his sibling Blackfyres and running Bittersteel off, so why do we think he's so bad?

I know Maegar had him locked up and didn't trust him, but wasn't Maegar kind of bad? I honestly can't remember.

I know Aegon released him and sent him to The Wall to accompany Aemon so he must have trusted him to some extent.

Did he ever make it to The Wall, or did he vanish before then? Just not sure of those details cause haven't read Dunk yet, but would love spoilers on that.

Did Aegon know what Bloodraven planned to do and want him to do it which is why he released him? TIA

Crackpot Club Day!

This Eddard chapter is great. Our first look back at the Tower of Joy.

One of my biggest doubts, and it gets raised by a key fact in this chapter, is that Lyanna died during childbirth.

quote:

Promise me she had cried, in a room that smelled of blood and roses. Promise me, Ned. The fever had taken her strengh and her voice had been faint as a whisper, but when he gave her his word, the fear had gone out of his sister's eyes. Ned remembered the way she had smiled then, how tightly her fingers had clutched his as she gave up her hold on life, the rose petals spilling from her palm, dead and black.


Now I'm no rocket surgeon, so "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies". But I do know how to drop old movie quotes. And I don't think Lyanna died from a fever because of childbirth.

Lyanna may have had something to do with how Howland Reed saved Ned from Ser Dayne. And that might have involved some sort of wound that caused the fever.

My "butt calling the pot cracked" post for the day. You're welcome.
