The video has grown... it's now looking to be about 18 minutes long, making it one of the biggest ASX vids ever (:

As such, it's gonna take a while longer to complete. I'm now expecting a release in about 24 hours, on Thursday (US-time). Hold the door til then.

Cheers!

Willie Willie Willie, can't you see? Sometimes those doors need to be closed for me. And I just love those flashback days, but now we gotta wait longer for R+L=J.

Hit the locks when you see Hodor, slam it shut when you see Hodor, uhh. They stopped me and you cried at the finish, like a bomb blast full of fifty red weddin's. Willis, we shut 'em up. (Last one haha, mixing GoT and old gangsta rap is surprisingly fun).

"I swear it by earth and water." — Jojen "I swear it by bronze and iron." — Meera "We swear it by ice and fire." — Jojen & Meera Is this the Pact between the children of the forest and the First Men. In the Dawn Age a pact of peace was made on the island within the Gods Eye (Isle of Faces) If anyone knows about the nature of the ancient pact, it would be the Reeds. Interestingly, we have never learned the words of House Reed, perhaps something like: Sworn by Ice and Fire, or simply Ice and Fire. According to Meera, in the year of the false spring, a crannogman - almost certainly Howland Reed - traveled to the Isle of Faces, and spent some time there before traveling to the Tournament of Harrenhal. The Knight of the Laughing Tree - almost certainly Lyanna Stark - wears the sigil of a laughing weirwood tree, and defends the honor of Howland Reed. Also at the Tournament of Harrenhal, Lyanna weeps when she hears Rhaegar play a sad and beautiful song. I believe that this song may have been the Song of Ice and Fire. After Rhaegar discovers Lyanna as the Knight of the Laughing Tree, they fall in love. Some have speculated that during the time of their disappearance, they elope to the Isle of Faces. This would make sense for several reasons. Lyanna likely would have insisted on their marriage taking place in sight of the Old Gods. The Isle of Faces is very close to the place they fell in love - Harrenhal, which is set on the north shore of the Gods Eye. Their marriage would mean that Lyanna could birth a legitimate Targaryen heir. It all makes sense - Lyanna (ice) and Rhaegar (fire) marrying in the sight of the Old Gods on the Isle of Faces, where 10,000 years earlier, a pact of ice and fire had been made. Rhaegar always knew that he must have a third child. "He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire." — Rhaegar Targaryen As a side note here - as the only other person in the world (aside from Eddard) who knew the true identity of Jon Snow, Howland Reed may have sworn by ice and fire to keep Jon's secret. One more thought on all of this: It's apparent that many of the greatest secrets of A Song of Ice and Fire are being held within the Isle of Faces. Just think about the Isle of Faces: It has somehow gone unconquered for the entire history of Westeros, which includes more than 12,000 years of history, including the arrival of the First Men, the Andal invasion, and the Targaryen invasion. Ever since the pact between the children of the forest and the First Men, the Isle of Faces has been protected by the sacred order of Green Men. The order of the Green Men still persists and is thousands of years older than the Night's Watch. If the cave of the three-eyed crow should fall, the Isle of Faces may be the last bastion of the children of the forest. Its extensive network of weirwood trees left undisturbed for all time means that the entire history of the Isle of Faces has been recorded in the sight of the Old Gods. Not only is there much to learn, but Bran actually may be able to unlock some of its greatest secrets through the ages. The Isle of Faces certainly demands our attention.
