Or until that Wall comes down.


Don't forget the end of ADWD. I think he's relieved of his vow.

But the dragon has three heads, right?

Are the 3 heads, Dany, Aegon and Jon Snow Stark Targaryen?


It's almost 100% that Dany and Jon are two of the three. But let me throw a wrinkle in: What if Tyrion is #3? The Mad King raped Tyrion's mother, so it is possible that Tyrion could be a Targaryen as well. It would also explain Tywin's complete hatred for him, especially if there is no way to be sure. I'm not sold on this theory, but it is one that I've been mulling over, and I think it's interesting. Plus, Varys has always had great respect for Tyrion. Is there something he knows that we don't?

I've just picked up on this theory the past few months. Honestly, I haven't dug into the wikis much before the end of last season. I was way behind on the books. I was just starting to get a little ahead when this season started. I'm going to be traveling on and off through the end of June, and I should be caught up, completely, with the main novels by then. Of course, the show is getting ahead of me in spots, again. This season has been the most eye opening so far, in that I see the clear divisions while they're happening, as opposed to retrospectively. I think we will do a rewatch this offseason - I certainly want to make some notes and do my own research before the next book comes out.

They are really telling 2 different, although very similar stories now - Martin versus the show writers, I mean.

ETA: Back to your point - if Young Griff/Aegon turns out to be a red herring (which I suspect he is), then Tyrion could very well be the third dragon.

But *CRACKPOT WARNING*




what if Mance is really Rhaegar?

Hmmm, maybe we can look to the show as guidance with this. Varys is very keen on getting Tyrion to Dany, what if his complimenting him on his ability to rule is just fluff to get him there and then declare him a Targ? Don't think I buy it...

Has this be stated to have happened or was it just rumored through his joke of prima nocta?
