Aemons brother daeron was never king so he does not get a number, daeron the 2nd was aemons grandfather

Strategically Robb makes sense because they can't give back Jaimie who is the second most powerful opponent during a war for his sister's who has no strategic value in the war

Avery

keep in mind robb is like 15 at this point so he is actually just a kid

Jon looked up to Daeron the first, Aemon’s grandfather and Maekar’s father is Daeron the second. Little family tree; we have Daeron the second, who had 4 children with the youngest being Maekar, then Maekar had 4 sons the oldest being Daeron, then Aerion, then Aemon then the youngest being Aegon.

azor ahai is the prince who was promised

I'm pretty sure ned sent one of his people to stannis personally and was instructed to only tell stannis

Avery

can't wait for the theon chapters

Stannis already knew about the bastards before Ned found out. Him and Jon Arryn figured it out together.

CM

I think it's mentioned in the first book that Stannis knows about Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen's parentage because he and Jon Arryn were investigating it together before Ned came to King's Landing. It's why he fled the city after Jon Arryn was murdered.

The Faith of the Seven and the old gods, interesting. Here's what I think about it. The seven have a strong parallel to medieval Catholicism. Moral authority over rulers, gender roles, class expectations, empty of real truth - basically a comment on Christianity by the author. Religion with fake gods that don't act. The old gods and the lord of light are the real ones, it is known.

I just love the details about Jon reflecting on his hand wound/burn. It’s so grounding compared to the larger story. He’s constantly reflecting on how he got the wound, or how it impacts his life. He flexes his hand and feels the wound/scar stretching or impeding his grip of Longclaw. It’s just so much more human than the shows representation. (And generally I like the show)

daeron 1 is the one jon looked up to and is the cousin of the father of daeron 2 who is maekars father and prince daeron is maekars son

GRRM has said that the gods in his world don't directly influence the story or the characters. They're not like, say, the gods of Greek mythology.

IcySystem

Jaqen and Syrio are both from Bravos, maybe that's why they talk in a similar way. There's a fan theory that some believe: Jaqen was hired by Littlefinger to kill Ned on his way to the wall. LF has the money and it makes sense to kill Ned so he can't tell others about LF's role in the betrayal. Or maybe even to make Cat a widow and marry her? I would love to believe this, but I'm not really buying it. There were tons of witnesses to LF's betrayal anyway. Did he hold the dagger to Ned's throat in the book like in the show? I don't remember.

I think you confused yourself with the Daerons lol. It'll make more sense when you finish the first season of 'A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms'.

My_Cousin_Mose

I agree 100%. Its a cool theory but I haven't seen enough evidence to really support it. Or maybe I just missed the clues George laid out.

Lee Smith

Stannis was investigating the bastards with Jon Arryn after Arryn dies Stannis leaves *i believe* because Arryn dying confirms his suspicions.

Random facts: The Faceless Men aren't necessarily Braavosi, but they are based out of Braavos. Does the House of Black and White owe allegiance to the the free city? They... "feal" more independent. Jaqen is too weird. He says that he is from Lorath and speaks in a straith up Lorathi manner. But of course, all of that is part of his deception skils. Syrio says that he is a former First Sword, as in, retired. But Syrio replaced the one before him after their death. How does the position of First Sword work?

Tylor

I personally think that along the lines of the “power lies where men believe it lies” I feel like people can just *feel* who’s powerful. Like how you keep making comments about how people look at Jon? Yeah like that lol. But those details could be getting skewed bc of your prior knowledge of the show. So excited for you to get to the third book

Tylor

I didn’t think I’d have the same sympathy arc as I did in the show for him but… alas 💀

Nathaniel Hilton

I love your focus on the religion of asoiaf, it's one of my favorite themes in Martin's work. On the subject of the gods being the same/walking amongst us, that is one of my favorite questions in the whole series, and I'd implore you to think about who the Old Gods might be.

Rafa

I'm more of the type that thinks the gods aren't real, and that the "evidence" for any gods is more magical (or even sci-fi: old gods == hivemind) forces by characters/creatures. Especially after reading George's work outside of asoiaf. But I like that the story is ambiguous enough for different interpretations.

Benji Skyler

The first Davos chapter was excellent, especially since Stannis fleshes out why he's turned to the Lord of Light. He's not devout, like his wife, but he's willing to try anything since the Seven never did anything for him (going back to his parents' deaths). Like seeing that Davos has a much bigger family than in the show. Anyone who has read the books before watching the show couldn't be blamed for mistaking Matthos for Maester Pylos (Cressen's understudy and new head maester after Cressen's death). In the book, Pylos, not Matthos, is writing the letter Stannis is dictating.

Cersei killed babies in the books Joffrey did it in the show
