After this House, you should do a video on the mysteries of House Hightower and its links to the Great Empire of the Dawn too, with them being Proto-Valyrians who were loyal to the Amethyst Enpress and therefore forced to flee the Bloodstone Emperor's tyrannical rule to set themselves up with the First Men in the reach.
In a storm of swords, when Arya met Ned Dayne, he was desecribed as having somewhat silver hair and purple eyes. In the chapter right after that, when Tyrion first met Oberyn. It was stated that there are 3 types of Dornish men, and Tyrion went on to describe the physical features of all the three. Non of the features matched the description that was given about Ned Dayne, in the chapter just before. Ive always thought that this is subtly hinting at something else.
I like the idea that the Dawn is psychic and the sword of the morning has to be able to “hear” it. Then while wielding Dawn they know the future and know what their opponent will do next and the sword can help direct them into winning any fight.
@@bouel2709I forgot about that theory...another possibility....and Cersei's speculation about Asharas suicide would still fit (if, say, the stolen child was Meera)
Thanks so much for showing me that Jen Zee made art for ASOIAF! She is the artist behind supergiant games(Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, Hades), super awesome work
once again thank you for adding in the purple eyes, it looks so much better I'm still pissed neither show has included it, fire breathing dragons, sure, silver hair, of course, purple eyes? no how ridiculous. again, thank you
I wonder when the sword of the morning role was created. They seem to specify that the sword of the morning is a knight of house Dayne, but if the Daynes are first men, they would predate the institution of knighthood.
I think the "Sword in the Stone" idea is really good, because otherwise it would be pretty easy for someone to just steal it whenever a Sword of the Morning isn't active.
Yeah if Dawn is really thousands of years old, it'd be pretty hard to believe it never got stolen/lost before. It seems plausible the sword must go back to its stone once a Sword of the Morning dies, and the sword only works properly if wielded by a knight of its own choosing.
26:43 "The keyblade chooses its master, and it chose you!" The words of House Dayne: "Simple and Clean" 🤣 Nah fr, great video my guy. The Daynes are freakin' cool.
I find it improbable that 2 lordling knights, a prince and a highborn lady of 15/16 (pregnant half the time) did not need any attendants at some point during their near year long absence. They would have had some basic skills (setting up camp, hunting, meal prep, mending a shirt), including Rhaegar who liked going away on his own, to help them on the road, but once settled they would need help with cooking, cleaning, food provisions and clothes (washing and replacement). Plus, old timey clothes required help to put on, so unless Lyanna was constantly half naked or swapped dresses for britches and shirts, she would have needed help dressing and undressing. If one stops and thinks for a minute, it’s obvious that there were more people at the ToJ than who we think Ned encountered. At least one attendant for Lyanna and one for the men would have to be permanently there. I believe that Wylla was at ToJ, then arrived at Starfall with Ned and baby Jon and that’s why she was believed to be Jon’s mother. While at the same time Edric was told about Ned and Ashara’s great love story. Little Gerold being there is not an unreasonable conjecture considering that the Daynes were probably sending provisions to ToJ and who more trustworthy that a little Dayne? But I don’t know why Gerold keeps that secret after everyone else is dead. Wouldn’t telling Doran and Oberyn how his Starfall kin aided in the disgrace of Elia be in his favour? He could have hoped that the Martells punish his remaining cousins and grant him Starfall with all it contains (including Dawn). Another option is that Ned put to sword any servant he found at ToJ, the cairns hold more bodies that we know of and that’s why he pulled the tower down and refused to tell how to find it, even if it made Barbrey Dustin hate his guts… There is also a case of where and with whom Lyanna was staying in the months between the Turney and her “kidnapping”. Benjen went North to replace his father as the Stark in Winterfell, so Rickard can travel to Brandon’s wedding. Ned went to the Eyrie. Brandon was at Riverrun and travelling around with his companions. But where was Lyanna? She was not with Ned. She was not up North because her father was travelling south alone at the time she was being kidnapped (Bran already was a prisoner in KL by the time his father arrived). Bran had heard about the incident from someone at some point (probably at the Inn and from Petyr who was looking to distract him and save his own skin). There is no suggestion she had been at Riverrun with the Tullys. Was she sent to stay with a southern family to get her used to this different world before she married Robert? Was she with the Blackwoods? Or maybe the Whents? Does it matter that we were not told? Tangent over. However, if Gerold is jaded ‘just because’ this still leaves Wylla as the living witness to the truth of Jon’s birth. Gerold only exists because Martin dropped the time skip. Ned Dayne won’t be old enough to do whatever needs to be done, most likely move Dawn from Starfall. Gerold is not another Edric because that’s not how Martin writes, but he exists for a purpose. And for this reason, I don’t think George imagined him at ToJ originally. Also, both Jon and Dany are much too young to be Harrenhall babies. If there is any conspiracy regarding Ashara’s stillborn daughter that I could get behind is that Allyria (so much younger than any of her siblings) was Ashara’s and adopted by her grandparents as a Dayne (maybe there was a late age pregnancy for Ashara’s mother that claimed her life and Allyria had been swapped for that other dead babe. George denied Brandon Stark having bastard sons. Sons specifically. So, a daughter could an option. Little Allyria being Brandon and Ashara’s Harrenhall baby is the only Dayne baby conspiracy that I could believe in. Although Arthur/Lyanna are my favourite fanfiction guilty pleasure 😊 How The Sword of the Morning is chosen is an interesting topic. Especially considering they don’t seem to be a big family at any point. A ritual then makes more sense. I quite like the idea of Dawn resting in a stone like Excalibur and hopefuls have a go at pulling it out. And the family are simply the witnesses.
There's a theory that Rhaegar and Lyanna spent some time at the Isle of faces before going to the TOJ. If not that, Oswell Whents family could've put them up in harrenhal.
I'm surprised that you failed to mention Barristans feelings for Ashara and appearance of pain and loss when he speaks of her and her stillborn child. His reaction tells me that the knight who "dishonored" her is either known to him, but someone he was never able to take revenge on (say, Brandon Stark who died soon after harrenhal, or Jon Connington, who was exiled) or even himself in a regrettable state of mind.
Great video!! Here's a theory I can get behind: Dawn chooses Darkstar instead of stealing it There must be some kind of magic protecting Dawn, that's why no one in thousands of years has been able to steal Dawn The Daynes made-up the part of “deemed worthy can carry it”, because they knew Dawn was too powerful and dangerous to be wielded by the wrong person
I know this is gonna be an excellent video. You're genuinely one of the best ASOIAF TH-camrs out there and you deserve far more subs. I hope you have a nice day ser.
Jon took a vow to be the light that brings the dawn. I think he’ll “bring the dawn” by ending the long night, and he’ll also literally bring dawn with him to do the job.
My Darkstar tinfoil is that he is actually Edric Dayne while George was still planning the five year time gap, once he nicked that idea he had to create an OC. Now with that out of the way Darkstar would know whatever Dayne secret that is so dangerous to Dorne, whatever makes Doran think 'hes the most dangerous man in Dorne' and that Oberyn 'should've killed him when he had the chance'. What that all leads to i'm not sure but its probably the one part of the story i've spent the most time thinking about trying to put together.
Ashara is Jojen and Meeras mother and you cannot convince me otherwise. She pretended to jump and die so she could run off into the north with howland.
Everything revolves around him and Daenerys, or the central five characters GRRM mentioned in his original outline in the 90s - Dany, Jon, Tyrion, Bran, and Arya
I feel like dark star is the kinda guy to boast about being at the tower of Joy, unless they swore him to secrecy and he is actually so honorable that he kept his vow to this day. But then again if they were trying to keep everything happening there under raps I don’t know if they’d bring in another person outside of Rhaegar’s circle, but Gerold being related to Arthur does make him the likeliest of unlikely people to be brought in.
7:07 I wouldn't mind if they were a mashup of some of these. I think "Of the Stars" would be kind of 🆒 and a bit of a nod to their whole falling ⭐ thing.
"Sword chooses the knight Harry, I mean Arthur." Something to consider. Steel is folded to remove anything that isn't steel. To forge a meteor you'd have to fold it a lot to remove the nickel. This is complicated because you'd also remove carbon making it hard and brittle. The suggestion of a 1000 folds and length of time AA did it supports the idea it was a meteor and required a very complicated process of folding and heating to remove other metals and put carbon back into the blade. Possible rhythming symbolism to support. Brienne takes Duncan's sigil for her repaint. Curiously it's a green falling star or meteor, and further comes from Evenfall. Which ties into a pattern of red flame becoming a green flame that we see in Quentyn and other places. The tower of Joy stuff. I honestly believe theorists ignore Selmy's words and Dany's vision to avoid having to deal with a much less desired truth. Lyanna was already pregnant and Ashara's role was quite a bit more complicated. However, your thoughts on Gerald do make sense as far as that goes. There is a symbolism in the Stark sigil that also gets avoided. Comets were interpreted as wolves in Viking culture, making a wolf a possible symbolic comet or meteor. That and Bran's vision of the white haired women are highly suspect in the context of the Daynes.
Not sure about the Dayne's but i do believe that Dawn is Lightbringer. a quote from Ned " The blade was as pale as milkglass and alive with light". Thus I believe its Lightbringer. The person who first made Dawn could actually be Azor Ahai and the reason why the person that wields the sword is called the sword of the morning could be because it was originaly wielded by Azor and he was the one that brought the end of the long night by beating the others. The end of night is the morning.
I dont know why, but for some reason I always thought that Wylla is Lemore. I can't even explain why. Just because she had a baby and have a culture that fits my idea of Dornish people I guess
the only thing i'd add is that allyria might've been a bit older.. not by much tho. It's unclear if the Daynes are one of the families that adopt non Dornish customs via their proximity to the border BUt it's said a few times dornish women are considered of "marrying age" in their early 20s, if i'm not mistaken one of Arianne's friends who helped her abduct Myrcella was married off at 23 as punishment (and they used the "marrying age" expression) and Elia herself was married at 24, so Allyria might've been engaged to marry Beric at her late teens (15 up) and Lord Dayne waited until she reached the 19/ early 20s zone
I'm still convinced that Dawn is the original Lightbringer. The phrase "alive with light" is only used in connection with Stannis' fake Lightbringer and Dawn, and I'm pretty sure the color of Dawn is tied in with the magic that forged it. I'm not discounting the idea that the metal which Dawn was forged from came from a meteor (bolide), but I think the white color is a result of Nissa Nissa's willing sacrifice. Human sacrifices are tied closely with Valyrian steel, a famously black metal: Valyrian magic is explicitly blood magic, and the smiths of Qohor follow the Black Goat who's worship involves human sacrifice. Both of these groups seem to use less-than-willing individuals in their sacrifices, but I'm pretty sure that in the legends Nissa Nissa willingly gives herself up when Azor Ahai quenches his blade by driving it through her heart. Alt Shift X floated the idea that the Daynes pass Dawn to worthy swordsmen because the next Azor Ahai is supposed to come from their line and they need him to bear the sword. Someone else probably generated that idea, but the point is that there is so much pointing toward Dawn being the original Lightbringer that I just can't be convinced that Dawn is just a cool meteoric iron sword
BRUH IT DOES MATTER!!!! the empire of the dawn is key to tracing all the history of long nights and understanding WHY all these mysterious magical things are happening all throughout the world were they previously were not. EXCEPT for the faceless men though i think theirs is more ancient valyrian blood glamor they figured out whilst still slaves.
I'm Pretty sure you meant Neolithic Anatolians. The Turks did not arrive in Anatolia until 1080 A.D. (CE). "Anatolia" is the region where the knives were found and "Syria" and "Anatolia" are geographic and not ethnic terms.
The Turks originated on the Eurasian Steppes and migrated to Anatolia around 1000 AD so neolithic Turks didn't exist in Anatolia. The dagger was found at Alacuhöyük which was a Hittite settlement. The Hittites were Indo-European and not Turks.
Also Turks didn’t exist in Anatolia before the 10th century AD. The people you mentioned were actually Hittites, who aren’t related to Turks in the slightest.
Ned had girl with him when he was on sisterton and everyone there believed them to be pair. That was before he had to sign marriage pact so that Uprising can have grteater survival strength by getting Hoster Tully and his Riverlords. Jon is possibly older than Robb because of their wolves are their symbols. Ghost had his eyes open first that's why he went away from the litter. Ashara being Jon's mother make far more sense if Jon is promised hero. He have blood of Ned as father and he is Dayne giving him rights to claim dawn sword when others come. Child from Tower of Joy was Young Griff/Aegon since he dye his hair blue in remembrance of his mother. No Jon and Dany will never Meet. Jon in nothing ever written about him have anything with dragons or south. Jon's story is about North. He will be King of the North and hero to fight against darkness of others. Also visions Dany has in House of Undying about blue rose in wall have nothing with Lyanna. Blue Rose is symbol of starks and Winterfell. They way worm Rhaegar crowned Lyanna with those roses doesn't actually connect them with her. That's a red herring. Blue rose is symbol of as i said North and even King Beyond the Wall Bael who asked for Rose
tbh i didnt know that Lady Allyria Dayne could be 1 when Jon was born. with that in mind let me try cook here, what if Allyria is secretly Ashara and Neds daughter, Lyana got secretly married [allegedly] why not Ned and Ashara after harrenhal. lol what if after all this time Robb is the actual Snow, im going off topic here, what if the Daynes only agree to keep the secret because they not only respect Ned but Ned is family.
nah bro ur not crazy for the theories every single one u named off has VERY CREDIBLE evidence and likely to be confirmed at some point, but even if they arent fr dude this is what its all about this is why George left the fog of history
to support your "Daynes aren't first men" theory, Dawn probably needed to be heat forged from the star, the only people at the time that we know could potentially have that tech would be the GEOTD. just somthing to mention
At "20:40" you quote Darkstars infamous "i am of the night" line and suggest this may be because of the dayne motto. There is so much talk about this line and it always drives me nuts =D Gerald gets asked if he his "the sword of the morning" and to that he replys to be of the night. So this is most likely just lame wordplay instead of something meaningful. The jury is still out whether its edgelord speech...
Nah the theory and the video are so cool and all that, I'm excited too see the truth in the books but will George ever finish his books? Wouldn't it be fucked up if you make all those theories and videos so GRRM could just go "nah im good" and just live off profit from tv shows
George collecting millions from HBO has nothing to do with him not being able to finish ASOIAF. One does not prohibit the other. George is clearly just struggling with Winds, and has spent more time doing Thrones stuff than writing. If he knew exactly how to finish his books, they’d be finished.

The words of House Dayne: "Simple and Clean" 🤣
Nah fr, great video my guy. The Daynes are freakin' cool.
Kingdom heart's in my asoiaf?
I've been anticipating this one from you.
I find it improbable that 2 lordling knights, a prince and a highborn lady of 15/16 (pregnant half the time) did not need any attendants at some point during their near year long absence.
They would have had some basic skills (setting up camp, hunting, meal prep, mending a shirt), including Rhaegar who liked going away on his own, to help them on the road, but once settled they would need help with cooking, cleaning, food provisions and clothes (washing and replacement).

If one stops and thinks for a minute, it’s obvious that there were more people at the ToJ than who we think Ned encountered. At least one attendant for Lyanna and one for the men would have to be permanently there.
I believe that Wylla was at ToJ, then arrived at Starfall with Ned and baby Jon and that’s why she was believed to be Jon’s mother. While at the same time Edric was told about Ned and Ashara’s great love story.
Little Gerold being there is not an unreasonable conjecture considering that the Daynes were probably sending provisions to ToJ and who more trustworthy that a little Dayne?
But I don’t know why Gerold keeps that secret after everyone else is dead. Wouldn’t telling Doran and Oberyn how his Starfall kin aided in the disgrace of Elia be in his favour? He could have hoped that the Martells punish his remaining cousins and grant him Starfall with all it contains (including Dawn).
Another option is that Ned put to sword any servant he found at ToJ, the cairns hold more bodies that we know of and that’s why he pulled the tower down and refused to tell how to find it, even if it made Barbrey Dustin hate his guts…
There is also a case of where and with whom Lyanna was staying in the months between the Turney and her “kidnapping”.

Was she with the Blackwoods? Or maybe the Whents? Does it matter that we were not told?
Tangent over.
However, if Gerold is jaded ‘just because’ this still leaves Wylla as the living witness to the truth of Jon’s birth. Gerold only exists because Martin dropped the time skip. Ned Dayne won’t be old enough to do whatever needs to be done, most likely move Dawn from Starfall. Gerold is not another Edric because that’s not how Martin writes, but he exists for a purpose.

I think dawn and darkstar will be like dombledore's wand where dawn wont except darkstar as a wielder and might even be darkened

@@CrusaderChris Yeah no problem, man. I don't know everything, but I know greatness.
Jon took a vow to be the light that brings the dawn. I think he’ll “bring the dawn” by ending the long night, and he’ll also literally bring dawn with him to do the job.
Nissa Nissa chooses who wields the Dawn, as her soul is inside (Team Dawn Brings Light) just like souls of dead greenseers are in weirwoods
It always makes me chuckle when he edits in the “that’s interesting” from GRRM 15:13
I like the "we're making this stuff up" clip
My Darkstar tinfoil is that he is actually Edric Dayne while George was still planning the five year time gap, once he nicked that idea he had to create an OC.

Rhaegar+Ashara=Daenerys confirmed…
Also if Gerold has beef with the starks and outs Jon to say F U to Ned would be really interesting
“ Summer is over! “ House Stark
Not to mention that Dane Whitman is literally kit harrington
He was great in Eternals! I was so hyped for a Black Knight movie after that
Ashara is Jojen and Meeras mother and you cannot convince me otherwise. She pretended to jump and die so she could run off into the north with howland.
Wake up, new Crusader Chris dropped ‼️
Are we sure Jon isn't the main character?? So far everything revolves around him
Jon is at least the main male character but he is not THE main character there is no single main character in asoiaf that's kinda the point.
Everything revolves around him and Daenerys, or the central five characters GRRM mentioned in his original outline in the 90s - Dany, Jon, Tyrion, Bran, and Arya
The road from summerhall to starfall makes sense due to King Maekar marrying a Dayne when he was essentially the prince of summerhall.
I feel like dark star is the kinda guy to boast about being at the tower of Joy, unless they swore him to secrecy and he is actually so honorable that he kept his vow to this day. But then again if they were trying to keep everything happening there under raps I don’t know if they’d bring in another person outside of Rhaegar’s circle, but Gerold being related to Arthur does make him the likeliest of unlikely people to be brought in.
Never thought about this but technically Jon Snow should technically be named Jon Sand…..he was borne in Dorne. He is a Sand not a snow.

Fuuuuuuck I like this theory a lot. Dont know if 100% believe but it’s definitely interesting and has fun story potential for Darkstar.
"Sword chooses the knight Harry, I mean Arthur."

I'd put money on Darkstar being corrupted by Dawn in a more moral sense, in so far as he will do evil things to get his hands on it then to keep it.
Not sure about the Dayne's but i do believe that Dawn is Lightbringer. a quote from Ned " The blade was as pale as milkglass and alive with light".
Thus I believe its Lightbringer.
The person who first made Dawn could actually be Azor Ahai and the reason why the person that wields the sword is called the sword of the morning could be because it was originaly wielded by Azor and he was the one that brought the end of the long night by beating the others. The end of night is the morning.

Amazing video my friend
I’m just happy Syrians are mentioned… thanks chris
I dont know why, but for some reason I always thought that Wylla is Lemore. I can't even explain why. Just because she had a baby and have a culture that fits my idea of Dornish people I guess
Rumble in the Marches when? 🔥🔥🔥
the only thing i'd add is that allyria might've been a bit older.. not by much tho. It's unclear if the Daynes are one of the families that adopt non Dornish customs via their proximity to the border BUt it's said a few times dornish women are considered of "marrying age" in their early 20s, if i'm not mistaken one of Arianne's friends who helped her abduct Myrcella was married off at 23 as punishment (and they used the "marrying age" expression) and Elia herself was married at 24, so Allyria might've been engaged to marry Beric at her late teens (15 up) and Lord Dayne waited until she reached the 19/ early 20s zone
I'm still convinced that Dawn is the original Lightbringer. The phrase "alive with light" is only used in connection with Stannis' fake Lightbringer and Dawn, and I'm pretty sure the color of Dawn is tied in with the magic that forged it.
I'm not discounting the idea that the metal which Dawn was forged from came from a meteor (bolide), but I think the white color is a result of Nissa Nissa's willing sacrifice. Human sacrifices are tied closely with Valyrian steel, a famously black metal: Valyrian magic is explicitly blood magic, and the smiths of Qohor follow the Black Goat who's worship involves human sacrifice. Both of these groups seem to use less-than-willing individuals in their sacrifices, but I'm pretty sure that in the legends Nissa Nissa willingly gives herself up when Azor Ahai quenches his blade by driving it through her heart.
Alt Shift X floated the idea that the Daynes pass Dawn to worthy swordsmen because the next Azor Ahai is supposed to come from their line and they need him to bear the sword. Someone else probably generated that idea, but the point is that there is so much pointing toward Dawn being the original Lightbringer that I just can't be convinced that Dawn is just a cool meteoric iron sword
23:10 At this point in time, Anatolia is more fitting for the region. Turkey officially came to existence in 1453, with the fall of Constantinople.
The sword may be made out of the same thing Wolverines claws are made of
Fallen and reborn would fit if Ashara is still alive somewhere under a new identity
I need a Crusader Chris X David Lightbringer tinfoil crossover
BRUH IT DOES MATTER!!!! the empire of the dawn is key to tracing all the history of long nights and understanding WHY all these mysterious magical things are happening all throughout the world were they previously were not. EXCEPT for the faceless men though i think theirs is more ancient valyrian blood glamor they figured out whilst still slaves.
A deep dive into old profile pictures
In the dance of the dragons always green 💚💚💚💚
Now Dayne I could get into…
I'm Pretty sure you meant Neolithic Anatolians. The Turks did not arrive in Anatolia until 1080 A.D. (CE). "Anatolia" is the region where the knives were found and "Syria" and "Anatolia" are geographic and not ethnic terms.
The Turks originated on the Eurasian Steppes and migrated to Anatolia around 1000 AD so neolithic Turks didn't exist in Anatolia.
The dagger was found at Alacuhöyük which was a Hittite settlement. The Hittites were Indo-European and not Turks.
All the best castles end in "fall" 😊
Is the thumbnail a reference to Kit Harrington playing Dane Whitman in Marvel?
Yep, I discuss how Black Knight influenced GRRM in the later sections of the video
Ashara+Rhaegar =Daenerys would be smarter since you know Ashara was lady in waiting to Rhaegar's wife
How would that be smarter when we know rhella died from child birth? .
@@thatoneblackdude3333 because he said Ashara +Arthur =Daenerys
Also Turks didn’t exist in Anatolia before the 10th century AD. The people you mentioned were actually Hittites, who aren’t related to Turks in the slightest.
I am a simple man, I find a theory that implies the maesters are evil sne manipulating history, I give it a like
Ned had girl with him when he was on sisterton and everyone there believed them to be pair. That was before he had to sign marriage pact so that Uprising can have grteater survival strength by getting Hoster Tully and his Riverlords. Jon is possibly older than Robb because of their wolves are their symbols. Ghost had his eyes open first that's why he went away from the litter. Ashara being Jon's mother make far more sense if Jon is promised hero. He have blood of Ned as father and he is Dayne giving him rights to claim dawn sword when others come. Child from Tower of Joy was Young Griff/Aegon since he dye his hair blue in remembrance of his mother. No Jon and Dany will never Meet. Jon in nothing ever written about him have anything with dragons or south. Jon's story is about North. He will be King of the North and hero to fight against darkness of others. Also visions Dany has in House of Undying about blue rose in wall have nothing with Lyanna. Blue Rose is symbol of starks and Winterfell. They way worm Rhaegar crowned Lyanna with those roses doesn't actually connect them with her. That's a red herring. Blue rose is symbol of as i said North and even King Beyond the Wall Bael who asked for Rose
tbh i didnt know that Lady Allyria Dayne could be 1 when Jon was born. with that in mind let me try cook here, what if Allyria is secretly Ashara and Neds daughter, Lyana got secretly married [allegedly] why not Ned and Ashara after harrenhal. lol what if after all this time Robb is the actual Snow, im going off topic here, what if the Daynes only agree to keep the secret because they not only respect Ned but Ned is family.
Can dawn kill a white walker?
❤
This video is liable to make preston jacobs mark you for death
why
1:26 lol wtffff is that. 😃😃😃😃😃 He wrote that?
love that George used the picardia smiling emotes, what a bro
nah bro ur not crazy for the theories every single one u named off has VERY CREDIBLE evidence and likely to be confirmed at some point, but even if they arent fr dude this is what its all about this is why George left the fog of history
to support your "Daynes aren't first men" theory, Dawn probably needed to be heat forged from the star, the only people at the time that we know could potentially have that tech would be the GEOTD. just somthing to mention
True, or it could've been cold forged using meteoric iron. Lots of possibilities, which George loves to do to us
At "20:40" you quote Darkstars infamous "i am of the night" line and suggest this may be because of the dayne motto. There is so much talk about this line and it always drives me nuts =D Gerald gets asked if he his "the sword of the morning" and to that he replys to be of the night. So this is most likely just lame wordplay instead of something meaningful. The jury is still out whether its edgelord speech...
Nah the theory and the video are so cool and all that, I'm excited too see the truth in the books but will George ever finish his books? Wouldn't it be fucked up if you make all those theories and videos so GRRM could just go "nah im good" and just live off profit from tv shows
Your TV shows are mediocre pablum, George, great job completely abandoning your actual fans for a coupla checks 😅
George collecting millions from HBO has nothing to do with him not being able to finish ASOIAF. One does not prohibit the other. George is clearly just struggling with Winds, and has spent more time doing Thrones stuff than writing. If he knew exactly how to finish his books, they’d be finished.
Good video, but the Joe Rogan meme... 🤢Ew
