http://xkcd.com/488/ Re: BackstoriesA question for those who never read the books. I've been very curious about this for a long time. Re: BackstoriesAbout Summerhall. Reading between the lines, it appears as if Ghost of High Heart is the Woods Witch (who knew Jenny of Oldstones, Duncan the Smalls loved one!) "Your grandsire commanded it. A woods witch had told him that the prince was promised would be born of their line.” So who else was at Summerhall? Ghost of High Heart! [To Arya]: "She began to sob, her little body shaking. “You are cruel to come to my hill, cruel. I gorged on grief at Summerhall, I need none of yours. Begone from here, dark heart. Begone!”" Then we have Ghost of High Heart mention "my Jenny", and her song. Who is good with songs about Summerhall? Viserys had spoken of Rhaegar’s birth only once. Perhaps the tale saddened him too much. “It was the shadow of Summerhall that haunted him, was it not?” And the only line we know of Jennys song yet: The song is mentioned so many times, and sung by Tom of Sevenstreams which makes Ghost of High Heart rock back and forth and cry and mumble the words. Even Thoros of Myr says: So what's the point? Well, consider this, the song has no name, she just say "my jennys song". But he was wrong, as Aemon understood: Tl;dr: Jennys song, aka the song of ice and fire, about the prince that was promised, is still sung, and it contains the original prophesy that will tell who will bring light into darkness! A pretty neat thing if you ask me, because there are dead things in the sea, and the dead are walking again in the north, as was stressed in the very first prologue of the whole story. Winter is coming, and Westeros will need its hero pretty darn quick now! 9 2014-09-01 16:20:52 (edited by peter 2014-09-01 16:26:37)Re: BackstoriesPaisley wrote:
Good question. Here's what happened and why it is important to understand: Ned Stark had a sister called Lyanna. She was quite wild, like Arya, and liked to ride horses and practice fighting with Benjen when they were kids. She was supposed to marry Robert Baratheon. Robert loved Lyanna, but he also loved to sleep around and drink a lot. Lyanna didn't like that. Posts: 9Forums - Next Episode → Game of Thrones → Backstories |
