    "A Song of Ice and Fire (commonly abbreviated as ASoIaF) is an ongoing series of epic fantasy novels by American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. Martin began writing the series in 1991 and the first volume was published in 1996.
    The story of A Song of Ice and Fire takes place in a fictional world, primarily on a continent called Westeros but also on a large landmass to the east, known as Essos. Most of the characters are human but as the series progresses others are introduced, such as the cold and menacing supernatural Others from the far North and fire-breathing dragons from the East, both thought to be extinct by the humans of the story. There are three principal story lines in the series: the chronicling of a dynastic civil war for control of Westeros among several competing families; the rising threat of the Others, who dwell beyond an immense wall of ice that forms Westeros' northern border; and the ambition of Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled daughter of a king who was murdered in another civil war fifteen years before, to return to Westeros and claim her rightful throne. As the series progresses, the three story lines become increasingly interwoven and dependent upon each other."
    "Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for HBO. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, the first of which is A Game of Thrones. Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, Game of Thrones has a large ensemble cast and follows several story arcs throughout the course of the show. The first major arc concerns the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros through a web of political conflicts among the noble families either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from whoever sits on it. A second focuses on the last descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, who has been exiled to Essos and is plotting to return and reclaim the throne. The third follows the Night's Watch, a military order defending the realm against threats from beyond Westeros's northern border."

    One of my favorite details about the lead up to the red wedding is when Robb’s entourage first arrives at the crossing and meets Walder Robb asks for bread and wine to initiate guest right.
    Walder responds with “Mayhaps” and gives it to them.
    If you remember the first book two of Walder’s grandchildren are sent to Winterfell to be fostered and they play a game with the stark children called Lord of the Crossing in which When another player approaches, the lord of the crossing must say "I am the lord of the crossing, who goes there?" The player who approaches must then present his reasons for crossing the bridge and why he should be allowed to cross. The lord asks the player questions and makes them swear oaths. The player does not have to respond truthfully to the questions but the oaths are binding unless the player says "Mayhaps" quickly enough that the lord does not notice.

      Another one: When Robb's entourage arrive outside the Twins, Ser Ryman Frey greets them, saying "If you would follow me, my father awaits,". On the surface, it seems like he's referring to Walder Frey, but Ser Ryman Frey's father is Stevron Frey, who is dead.

    In the book we have not gotten the house words for house Frey as of yet with the exception of the tv shows version "We Stand Together" as being the house supposed words.
    IMO the words of house Frey should instead be *"Short Term Gain, Long Term Pain"* . Cause it perfectly encapsulates the situation of house Frey right about now.

      Same with the Lannisters because this wedding only guarantees endless conflict between the north and Lannisters. Nobody likes the Boltons and the only reason they're on power is through treacherous means, something that's bound to end one day. And nobody will forget that it was ultimately the Lannisters that made the red wedding happen.
      At least from the Tywins words in the show, doing this to 'end the war' and 'protect the family' only endangers his family in the future after he's gone

    I really hope Roose Bolton becomes more fleshed out in the next book. He seems very patient and it’s said he knows a lot about what’s going on “behind his back” in the north. He lets these things happen and watches because as Barbery Dustin puts it: “This is a game to him. Mildly diverting. Some men hunt, some hawk, some tumble dice. Roose plays with men.”
    I reeeeeeally hope he’s got some secret plan against Stannis and the other traitors. Just seems like a cool creepy villain that’s getting a fair amount of build up for something. Be a shame if he just died for nothing.

    Petyr Baelish becoming Lord Paramount of the Riverlands is also consequential, considering his plans for the North and the Vale (marrying Sansa and Harry the Heir, hoping to reclaim Sansa's birthright of the North), he'd effectively have control of Three of the Eight/Seven Kingdoms (or so he believes). If he can somehow rope the Stormlands, he's got the exact same alliance that deposed the Targaryens (I don't think it'll happen, just happy coincidence).
    Honestly, one has to wonder if this was all part of his scheme, or just happy chaos-ladder happenstance.

      ​@@Gray_ninja​1) Officially, he's in mourning for Lysa. He had an effective scapegoat for Lysa's murder at the time, but if he took another wife so soon it would have people questioning whether he might have actually had a hand in his wife's death, especially considering how much power he consolidated unto himself as a result.
      2) Sansa is in hiding and posing as Littlefinger's bastard. He's had to negotiate his way into cajoling Lady Waynwood into agreeing to marry her ward off to a bastard. And by marrying Sansa/Alayne to Harry, he's joining the rightful heirs to the North and the Vale which, combined with his overlordship of the riverlands, makes him arguably the single-most powerful person in the Seven Kingdoms.
      Littlefinger's regency of the Vale only lasts as long as Sweetrobin's minority, and all signs point to the former planning the latter going the way of Joffrey. By preempting Harry's marriage, he's preventing another party such as the Lords Declarant from forming a marriage alliance with him and undermining Littlefinger's influence, which he'll wield through Sansa/Alayne. So poisoning Sweetrobin and forging the Sansa/Harry marriage is more work, but it's more stable.

    • @X525Crossfire
      @X525Crossfire 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      One thing to consider, which would make the whole "alliance that overthrew the Targs" ironic - assuming Littlefinger is anywhere near as well-informed in the books as he was in the show, what if Littlefinger is forging the new North-Riverlands-Vale bloc in preparation for the Targaryen return? Specifically, what if the stormlords flock to Young Griff's banner after he takes Storm's End? Rumors say Tommen's a bastard and Stannis fled north after his defeat at the Blackwater, so there's effectively no more Baratheons in control of the region, and those Lannister and Tyrell pricks killed a bunch of their friends and family at the Blackwater.
      And what's this? An alliance of three kingdoms - one with an army untouched by the recent war, and the other two holding serious grudges against the Lannisters? Could the same kingdoms that united to overthrow the Targaryens become the very ones who restore them to power?

    You can't rule the North with just three strong houses (Bolton, Karstark & Manderly) and expect everything to go smoothly. Especially not if one of these Houses is split up in loyalty and the other is being pressured into this. The hubris of Tywin, Walder (Walder Prime) and Roose is unbelievable.

    An other reason for Frey anger imo is the murder of one of theirs, one of the sons of Genna Lannister, just for the fact lord Karstark killed the Frey boy, I understand why death was chosen over just hostage.
    Although it would have been nice if Robb had used that to explain it.
    4:30 fun fact, Roslin Frey is his full sister, the fact then all the children from this wife were decent is interesting.

    This event needs to be looked in the big picture of Westeros events. Possibly, and I really do believe that House Stark was dealt a crippling blow when Robb was declared King in the North. Had he followed the correct course and bent the knee to Stannis a proper alliance would have been formed. The Battle of the Blackwater was really when the Starks began to lose the North and Riverlands. Then the Lannisters could concentrate all their attention the Starks.

    House Reed caused the massacre of the Red Wedding. They always defied the Freys and their superiority when all the Freys wanted was to introduce advanced technologies and ways of life (Westeros wise) to this savage frog eaters; creating enmity betwen the two peoples. I bet when Walder Frey heard the whole North followed Robb that included the Reeds which of Course started their relationship badly. Later House Reed did not send any Men to fight for Robb, we are told they move through marshes and wetlands as the fearsome Crocodiles their sigil bears, they sound like Great scouts for the riverlands, and could be used to devastating effect by someone like the Blackfish. Yet they remain Hidden in their bogs and mud huts. Walder wanted the marriage of one of his girls with Robb Because then, finally someone of Frey blood could rule rightfully over the Crannogmen and civilize them. But no, Robb failed to hold his end of the deal. And with no other option the late Walder betrayed him. But imagine if the Crannogmen had been at the wedding their numbers could have turned the tide. But they did not, their sigil might be a cool af Crocodile, but their actions are more deserving of an ugly toad.
    Shame on you House Reed.

      It is specified in the first books that Robb wants the Crannogmen in the Neck to stop, delay and harass any invading force that may try to attack the North. Indeed, when the Ironmen takes Moat Cailin, they make it hell for them to hold it, killing every scout, raiding or foraging party that try to exit the ruined stronghold with poisonous darts and arrows, and Robb wants their help in attacking and taking the Moat back.

    I think my favorite aspect of the sample chapters released so far, aside from the entirety of the forsaken. Theon’s mention that Crowsfood Umber has the green boys and Whoresbane Umber has the old men. It implies coordination between them, also the idea that the old men of the north commit themselves to suicidal action when winter comes is great potential foreshadowing of the Umbers inside winterfell doing something suicidal to hamper Roose

    The north refused to "sink down to their level" while tywin had a "the end justify the means" mentallity.
    Would you rather risk loosing and forfeit your life and those of your comrades but knowing that whatever you did was at least honorable or do whatever to win and increase your chances considerably, if you're losing the end result for you will be the same either way.
    Taking the high road isn't always the best option, going with a logical and pragmatic approach it definetely isn't. You have nothing to win, only lose. Might as well try to win with whatever you have at your disposal.
