random asoiaf trivia for oyu folks. originaly you know sansa did not exist in the book? it was going to be 4 kids. 3 boys and one girl.. arya. But then GRRM decided it didnt seem realalistic to have a family where everyone liked each other and got along perfectly, so he created a sister for arya nam...

hedge knight and sworn sword actually take place about 100 years before the present series. To givew you an idea king aerys great great grandfather is ruling in the hedge knight. bassicly, the stories recount the early lvies of dunk and egg. Egg being Aegon the unlucky (reember the story the old bea...

ohh i enjoyed erickson. hes not a faovrite of mine but i enjoyed it well enough. however my point was that with erickson.. he doesnt explain anything. it doesnt unfold. he throws you in and its sink or swim. like.. some of the stuff they are talking about in book 1... relating to their magic (warren...

no darth. dont think so. if you get any questions as you read you can always answer. but the books are pretty good in the way they unfold (unlike some ::Cough erickson cough::) so you should be able to follow along etc easly enough

well technicly shes still married yeah. the lack of consumation only means it *can* be voided if done through the proper procedures. its possible to get the equivlent of a divorce in other words. long as it isnt consumated

though excuse me vance is in the riverlands. was late last night. heh was confusing it with house vaith.

well i exagerate slightly bassicly the theory is that theres a great deal of symbolism in the fact that lady was killed but sansa lived on. that it signified her not being a 'real stark'. When we mentioned this to martin he grinned and bassicly confirmed it in so many words. I beleive he likewise co...

ahh.

thanks for clearing it up!

i'm new to the forum and to the covenant series. I have just finished wounded land. I had a question i was hoping you guys could answer. Im probably just confused or missing something obviouse lol. but anyway. At the ned of wounded land when the giants come back. I thought the only giants were the o...

mmm. ::rubs chin:: I think iirc he mentions it in passing at one point when talking with brienne. but you actually have a flashback scene in feast

well as to aemon....

Spoiler

he will be in all the sam chapters untill/unless he dies. since he actually is going on the boat *with* sam as they head to oldtown. likewise my personal theory is that they are sneaking mances son aboard with them... that gilly did a switch between her kid and mances

dany
tyrion (forshadowing in book 1 with his facination and

Spoiler

we know he is heading to meet up with dany in the next book

and jon.. if you buy into the theory of jon being rhaegars son as most seem to. including myself.

well. mmm. having read a nubmer of cercie chapters form book 4 i can say (no spoilers here) she hasnt come off sympathetic to me. but that could just be my opinion. ohh and spoiler... i dont know how to do the black thing but will give a try we find out in one of cercies chapters that their mother d...

as a long time poster of the message board (one of the most active message baords *period* let alone on an author) i will say this.. yes there are *tons* of spoilers.. but they are all located in the feast for crows forum. if you want to look in on the song of ice and fire forum or misc etc (providi...

lol so you came across R + L = J huh? heh if you go to the asoiaf site you will see so many threads devoted to this topic (and variouse twists on it) your head could explode lol. one of the most popular theories. right along there with the Grand Conspiricy Theory (largly proven.disproven) Aegon is s...

mm by book 3 bran and arya are the only two pov's that can be considered children still robb (besides from being dead) was married and a king. as was arya. if we look at a list of the pov's we have in the books and hteir ages either at death or in book 3 (and not counting prolouge pov's all of whom ...

yeah like malf said parris and many of us fans have recognized for a while the book would probably be 7 in length anyway (it fits in nicely with the seven kingdoms too). This has its upshots too. namely a dance with dragons coming out fast on the heals of feast. and yes george did have to trash what...

stannis jaime cercie are all obviously going to die at some point unless their role in the story changes dramaticly. likewise we know at least some of the starks will survive untill book 7 since that book is hesitantly titled "A time for wolves" beyond that its all speculation really. alot...
