That was Thistle - but you're VERY close!

 

[The Imp]

Thanks for the hint. I've read that prologue chapter many times.

Meha is Varamyr's sister

 

[Mister_Oy]

She is indeed - the one who named him "Lump"

 

[The Imp]

She is indeed - the one who named him "Lump"

Huge mistake. Now I have to come up with a question.

 

[The Imp]

I've never tried making up a riddle before, so please excuse this if it stinks

I can grow or shrink and kill in a blink. Born of light, I weaken at night.

Who or what am I?

 

[MemoryTale]

Mellisandre's shadow children?

 

[The Imp]

Mellisandre's shadow children?

Yes.

 

[MemoryTale]

OK, next:

Petyr Baelish is proud of himself because he's come a long way from a poor start. However if you define success as bettering yourself, there is arguably someone even better at it than Littlefinger. Who?

By the way the answer is not Varys. I know it *could* be, but we don't know enough about his past to be certain.

 

[Mister_Oy]

See Davos?

 

[MemoryTale]

Close, but there's a character who owned even less than Davos and won't be instantly executed if found in King's Landing.

 

[Narkalui]

Ilyrio Mopatis?

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

I am thinking if Varys is incorrect that Ilyrio should be as well.

Bronn? He doesn't wield nearly as much power as littlefinger, but he definitely came from lower. At least Littlefinger was born to a noble house (if a very VERY minor one) and Bronn has risen from nothing to the lord of a house himself (If a Minor one)


Another possible answer is Melissandra - she was a slave and now is an advisor to a king

 

[MemoryTale]

Bronn was the answer I was looking for. He's not risen as far as Littlefinger, but he's done it a lot quicker.

Again I can't really count Mellisandre as she's the advisor to an unofficial King.

Arsten's shot

 

[The Imp]

Bronn was the answer I was looking for. He's not risen as far as Littlefinger, but he's done it a lot quicker.

Arsten's shot

Advisor to the rightful King according to the laws of succession.

Just saying.

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

Woo Hoo!

Oh wait... this means I have to come up with something

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

Give me 7 links in a chain that connects Tywin Lannister to Jeor Mormont

Each link must be a family member (wives/husbands are included) but must be a direct link. 1st Cousins, aunts/uncles, etc are also allowed, so no need to Father's Brother's Son or any of that.

Example: "Ned Stark (son) Rob Stark (wife) Jayne Westerling" would count but "Ned Stark (good-daughter) Jayne Westerling" would not count.

Erm.....

7. (Husband) Jorah Mormont

[ArstenWhitebeard]

Not the connections I was looking for, though you actually did it in fewer connections. Margery's Father's Wife's Sister is actually just her Aunt

Tywin Lannister
1. (Daughter) Cersei Lannister
2. (Son) Joffrey baratheon
3. (Wife) Margaery Tyrell
4.
5.
6. (Aunt) Lynesse Hightower
7. (Husband) Jorah Mormont
(Father) Jeor Mormont[/QUOTE]

I will give it to you though. Here was the connections I had and next time I will do some more research to see if there are shorter ways to get there.

Twin Lannister
1. (Daughter) Cersie
2. (Husband) Robert Baratheon
3. (Brother) Stannis Baratheon
4. (Wife) Selys Baratheon nee Florent
5. (Cousin) Rhea Hightower nee Florent
6. (Daughter) Lynesse Mormont nee Hightower
7. (Husband) Jorah Mormont
(Father) Jeor Mormont

Alrighty then...
