With no one from Stannis' camp at Castle Black anymore, does the NW let her near Jon's body?
Why wouldn't they? She has power, i wouldn't try and stop her. I'm sure they won't be thinking she's going to raise him up.

Also from the wiki, with regards to "A Mother's Mercy" and Sandor Clegane

I don't see any reason why she would have to be in the same room as him to revive him

Just basing it off of what was shown for Bedric.

I was trying to google the sample chapter from Winds of Winter that deals with what you are asking about. Not sure if people want info or spoilers from the next book, I havent read a majority of them. And across a recent GRRM quote.

sample chapters

Mercy’s identity is out the window.

And then Davos will leave to go find Rickon.


Holy shite. I didn't even think about that, but they could easily set that up to put it back in line with the books. He just finds out from Theon or Sansa instead of Manderly.

Yeah but what incentive does he have in the show to go after Rickon? For a Stark to hold Winterfell like they offered snow? Seems easier to prop Sansa up if that's who tells him about Rickon

Also, none of those people have a clue where Rickon is, unlike Manderly did

But Sansa knows now. So I'm guessing if Sansa tells Stannis that she wants Rickon found before she agrees to align the North with Stannis, then I bet they would go look for him.

That's the issue though. I guess for Davos to go after Rickon, some northerner (probably an Umber since Rickon was headed to Last Hearth) will have to tell Sansa whereabouts Rickon is thought to be.

Keep in mind that Rickon was headed to house Umber and not to Skagos like in the book, so it would be more likely for someone to relate that to Sansa since House Umber is loyal to the Starks.

Would telling Stannis about Bran and Rickon be a good move for Sansa?

It seems like a lot of Sansa's power and worth right now is based on the fact it's widely believed that she's the last Stark and the heir to Winterfell.

If she tells Stannis that Bran and Rickon are alive and where to find Rickon she weakens her position since both of her brothers are ahead of her in the line of succession for Winterfell.

we have three options.

Getting stabbed is a definite it will happen


Option 1. In true GRRM fashion. Jon dies and is dead and that's it. Not R+L=J, no resurrection. He dies and is burnt. Though who would be the POV for the wall? So this is the least likely. Though Samwell did get laid, so odd things can happen.

Option 2. Which most consider the most likely. Is that he is stabbed and dies, and the Lord of Light through the Red Priest revives him. A lot would have to happen to get there, and IF we see any clip of Bedric, we know it's gong that way.


Option 3. He is stabbed but not killed. He is just badly wounded and recovers.


Option 4. Lazarus Pits. Jon is the new Ra's al Ghul.

I don't think she cares. Power or position has never ended well for her

As WTC93 has stated she doesn't care about the power she doesn't even want it.

Seeing how they are her brothers who so obviously misses, I'm guessing she could give a crap about ruling Winterfell. Plus it's not Dorne, so she can't really rule Winterfell alone since she's not male.

I'm thinking option number 2 is looking more and more appealing as the show goes on. She's shouldn't have so quick to shun that magic imp dick.

I still find it funny that people think this is his fashion. Aside from Ned sans head and the Red Wedding, he has not killed off any significant POV characters that I can think of and he has given us a number of instances where we are left thinking the character is dead and you flip ahead to see if they have any more chapters and see that they do.
