I wanted to have a discussion about Prophecies, particulrly those that revolve around Dany, although please feel free to bring up others. I didn't see any threads dedicated to this so thought I would start one. There are 2 prophecies in particular that I wanted to address. The first can be...

This is post-ADWD, so anyone that hasn't read the last five books, please exit the topic to prevent reading spoilers. :) --- A Dance With Dragons ends with Dany only commanding a single dragon, with the other two chilling and burning around Meereen. I have a few questions, and...

I know all the theories about Jon Snow... I played with some myself. I wanted him to be Rhaegar/Laurana child hide from Robert by Ned. But what if GRRM never give us an answer? Would it change anything about how you feel about Jon? The Targayen side is a long shot the more I think about it...

Windhaven is a storm-wracked world consisting of a vast ocean and a small scattering of islands, home to the descendants of survivors of a spacecraft crash centuries earlier. The most efficient way of passing messages between islands is by the flyers, specially-trained men and women who can use...

This discussion came up on the GRRM and Women Characters thread, but I didn't wish to derail that thread from its intended topic any further than we already had, so I'm starting a new thread for it....if it please my lords. :rolleyes: To C of K, in response to your post here...

So you've read the existing books in A Song of Fire and Ice and don't know what to read yet? I thought I'd dedicate a thread where other authors can be recommended who may be of particular interest to GRRM readers, not least because their fantasy is more towards realism in fantasy, perhaps more...

SPOILERS!!!!!!! Yes, I said, SPOILERS!!!!!!! I know something has been discussed on the issue before, not least regarding the L+R=J theory that asserts that Jon is half-Targ. However, now we have Jon becoming increasingly involved with Mel and the Lord of Light, who appears in part...

Well it's taken me the better part of a day, but I've finally caught up (with only minimal skimming necessary) on the 26-odd pages of the Jon Snow thread that developed in my absence. That thread is so dense with detail and theories it's going to take some time to digest it all, but one of the...

Found a description of a new chapter from Winds of winter.Don't know if its genuine but supposedly from a GRRM reading. For some reason I'm not allowed to post the link on her so this will have to do For the second chapter we joined Tyrion playing cyvasse with Brown Ben, while they wait for...

We've been speculating for years about whom the Valonqar is or will be. Cersei has always assumed it would be Tyrion, but that seems so obvious. Other possibilities have been Jaime, Bran, Kevan (now impossible), Edmure, Victarion, etc. I think this is what will happen Cersei will be found...

An excellent new world map for ASoIaF. Also interesting is that GRRM provides commentary for it. He states the map is broadly right but not in the details. He then goes on to say the new Maps of Ice and Fire book coming out in October will feature a canon world map that extends as far east as...

I got the hard copy of Drance with Dragons a while ago. I know see that A Dance with dragons is in two parts dreams and dust and After the Feast in the paper back copies. I am just wondering does the hard back all ready have both these? Lewis

Hi all, I know it's incredibly early but do we have any expectation or estimation of when The Winds of Winter will be published? Has GRRM given any clues? Is he writing right now? Or is he having a break since ADWD was published? Cheers Crooksy

I haven't been able to post in a few months for a myriad of reasons. What's the latest crackpot theory? I need something new to sink my teeth into. :D

Hi everyone, I've just finished Feast For Crows, and I think I missed two things entirely – presumably reading it too fast or late at night! Can anyone tell me, as long as you’re meant to know by the end of FFC and NOT if I find out in subsequent books: · Did anyone else read who...
