The Dragon Has Three Heads

[Young stormlord]

Oberyn would not of mentionned Aegon to the Mountain. He was brash and arrogant but not stupid. Hiding him for this many years would of been blown out of the water.

If Arellas is Aegon, why did Doran forget to mention it to Arianne when he revealed to her his secret plans? Could be for the same reasons as Oberyn but if Arianne does not know, then you can bet that Quentyn would know.

How many times do I have to tell you that Sarella is a black woman with yellow eyes whose mother was trader?

 

[Tysha]

Aegon the Unworthy! Gosh, I didn't think it was arguing.. only a friendly conversation
About the age of Sarella and Aegon:
"What of Sarella? She is a woman grown, almost twenty.”
THE CAPTAIN OF GUARDS (at the end..)
Aegon must be about 16-17, 'cos when he "died" he was a babe at breast (And Dany was born short time after that):
Viserys had been a boy of eight when they fled King’s Landing to escape the advancing armies of the Usurper, but Daenerys had been only a quickening in their mother’s womb.
All that shows that Aegon is a few (1-2) years older than Dany. If Dany was forteen at the begining of her pregnancy, she must be 15-16 now..
Alleras is "a comely youth", his skin "was dark as teak" - which is not black! And he's half Dornish. Sure, his story reminds Sarella's ("his father was a Dornishman, his mother a black-skinned Summer Islander"), but why not? After all, the name he chose reminds Sirella's as well!
And I think that the talk of the dragonglass candle (that can be lit only when there are dragons) lit in the Citadel just when Alleras gets there (a year ago) is not a coincidence. Might be it was Alleras (Aegon the Dragon) who has lit it? And another thing - have you noticed that Alleras is a very talanted scholar? ... just like Rhaegar! (Three links in one year...) And I think that Marwyn's discussion of the Dragons in the presence of Alleras (a mere acolyte?) is not a coincidence as well.
But the most important argument is - consider the fourth person present at this conversation (Sam is the third). Pate? Or, should I say - Jaqen H'ghar? There must be a very important reason for a Faceless Man to be at the Citadel. Moreover, he is there for a long time (since the beginning of AFFC), and I cannot think of a better reason than protecting the Targaryen Heir.

I don't think Aemon knew anything about Aegon's life or death; he came to understanding that the prophecy was about Dany being the "Chosen One". However, this does not contradict the fact that the dragon has three heads (which is another prophecy). I guess that his phrase "the Sphinx is the riddle" talks of yet another prophecy or some other strange insight that he might have, but why can't it be about Alleras the Sphinx?

About Viper making no difference between Aegon or Rhaenys during the fight with the Mountain - I guess he would be rather stupid if he did, wouldn't he?

 

[TK-421]

Well, someone needed to present new ideas to this forum who salivates everytime we hear GRRM news on ADWD. Good for you Tysha. It's certainly a credible theory and one I hope to hear others express their views on.

 

[Tysha]

I am so sorry to tell you but there is a big cockroach in that theory. And here it is: Sarella (Alleras) is black woman (man).

Alleras is "a comely youth", his skin "was dark as teak" - which is not black! His eyes are black. - "He had skin the color of a light brown ale and a cap of tight black curls that came to a widow’s peak above his big black eyes. " (The last chapter of AFFC)
And where did you find Sarella's description?

 

[Tysha]

I'm rather proud of this theory Thanks TK-421 for your support

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Lets not put the cart before the horse. Does the Dragonglass Candle or whatever have anything to do with Alleras? I dont neccessarily think so. Its (and correct me if Im wrong and Im sure you will). It may be the scholars of oldtown actually doing their job. I get ya Tysha but I dont see it. I can accept that one of the people in question are responsible but I dont think it points to anything. Unless yer telling me Sarella and Alleras are two different people and Sarella knowing Alleras' true background and the prophecy in question lit the candle as a joke/statement in reference to the head of the dragon? Nah...too risky.

Teak is a golden brown by the way. Nothing more than a Dornishman with a tan.

I find my information on Sarella in Wikipedia . I make no promises to its veracity but Wert will be along shortly to tell me Im wrong.

Heres the thing, if youre the Viper, youre incredibly clever. You know it. Youre given a baby to hide, you dont hide him. You parade him around for all the world to see. You say this is my child by a merchants daughter, you have other bastards so this is not a stretch. Then as youre daughters grow older you train them in martial matters (or have them trained) so that you can train your "other" daughter at the same time. The merchants daughter is the perfect cover, ambiguous (plenty of merchants daughters out there), no one is going to look deep into that and because its not a Lords daughter the child has no legal political ramifications.

As his other daughters get older he tells them the secret (not the reason) that Alleras is a dood and they bond fiercly around this secret and they all have a big laugh at the world.

Im telling ya Tysha yer on to something here, I just dont know what.

 

[Tysha]

If Arellas is Aegon, why did Doran forget to mention it to Arianne when he revealed to her his secret plans? Could be for the same reasons as Oberyn but if Arianne does not know, then you can bet that Quentyn would know.

Well, I don't know who knew about Aegon at all, but one of them has to be Oberyn. If Doran knew about Aegon, why would he reveal such a valuable information to his treacherous daughter? And maybe Oberyn didn't tell Doran about it at all...
By the way, Oberyn has been a "student" at the Citadel:

"He had studied at the Citadel, going so far as to forge six links of a maester’s chain before he grew bored. " ASOS. That means Oberyn had connections and friends at the Citadel (possibly, Archmaester Marwyn?) - where he sent Aegon(Alleras) more than an year ago, when he has left Dorn to go to Kings Landing.​

 

[Boaz]

Aegon, when you leave the Himalayas and get oxygen back into your brain let me know. You're talking crazy... and I should know.

I like a crackpot hypothesis as much as the next ASOIAFan and I'm intriuged that Sarella=Aegon, but I have a few qualms about embracing this hypothesis.

First, Doran watches the children play in the pools. He's been doing this for thirty some years... He reminded Obara that he watched her. He reminded Arianne that he watched her and Tyene (or Nym). He tells Areo to take the youngest snakes to the pools instead of to jail. So I presume he watched all the Sand Snakes frolicking naked or semi-naked... ergo he, Areo, Arianne, and others know that Sarella is indeed a woman.

Second, the Sand Snakes were taught by Oberyn. Could he have trained Aegon/Sarella without the other snakes knowing? Without Doran knowing? I doubt it... and even if Aegon/Sarella is hiding in plain sight, man oh man, this is too big of a secret to let slip to anyone.

Third, if Sarella is Aegon, could he disguise himself as a woman, as a dark skinned young man, as older than his seventeen years? He could if he was a Faceless Man? Could Aegon have mastered the assassin guild's talents at age 17? In fact he'd then have no need of another Faceless Man to protect him, i.e. he killed Pate.

Fourth, this hypothesis did not originate with me, therefore it is false... or at least my ego will not give credence until I am the one who proves this true.

Fifth, who at the Citadel knew about Alleras/Sarella/Aegon and communicated it to Aemon? Sure Aemon receives the Ravens at the Wall, but he's blind and his assistant reads them aloud. I've not heard of Westerosi Braille, yet. The message would have needed to be encoded, but Aemon was a hundred years old... he'd been on the Wall for seventy plus years... who is still alive in Oldtown who's 1) his friend, 2) not freaking senile (they don't call it Oldtown for nothing), 3) a Targ loyalist), and 4) politically minded to get involved. Did Doran (as the leading closet Targ supporter) send this vital info to Aemon?

Aegon, the only way this really works is if you see Aemon being fed information by Illyrio. Yes, Illyrio was in cahoots with Doran... this is how Viserys' marriage to Arianne must have been worked out. Illyrio hid Viserys and Dany in the Free Cities and hid Aegon in plain sight in Dorne... not to mention allowing Eddard to hide Jon in plain sight in Winterfell. Yes, you must agree to my crazy hypothesis that Illyrio was pulling Aemon's (and maybe Shae's) strings to enjoy your own silly Sarella=Aegon hypothesis.

Aegon, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power to hypothesize. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the boards.

If you only knew the power of the dark crackpot.

Now I'm wondering who is Sarella/Alleras? Is she/he Aegon? I don't think so. He's too young to have shape changing powers... It would have been next to impossible to keep this a secret in Westeros... And the news on Young Griff seems strong. Is Alleras a Faceless Man? The man who killed Pate said he did not want to disturb Pate in front of his friends, yet Pate did not see him at the tavern. If Alleras is a Faceless Man, he was hiding in plain sight. Is Alleras really Sarella? If so, what is her purpose in the Maester's Enclave? Has she decided to learn talents that her three oldest sisters have neglected?

Could Alleras have some connection to Jalabhar Xho, the exiled prince in KL? Could he be studying to prevent his return or to assist him?

Edit: Tysha posted before I finished my rantings...

I'd forgotten the Oberyn connection to the Citadel... So Sarella might be acting on the Viper's orders and not her own as Doran suggested to Areo (or maybe to Arianne).

Or are you suggesting that Arellas might be studying to be sent to the Wall to meet Aemon? It'd be easier just to send him straight there or to visit as Tyrion did or to say Sarella wants to trade like her mother and grandfather did and so visit the Night's Watch.

 

[Tysha]

Lets not put the cart before the horse. Does the Dragonglass Candle or whatever have anything to do with Alleras? I dont neccessarily think so. Its (and correct me if Im wrong and Im sure you will). It may be the scholars of oldtown actually doing their job.

About the candle:
“Yes.” Pate had heard the same stories. “But what’s the use of a candle that casts no light?”
“It is a lesson,” Armen said, “the last lesson we must learn before we don our maester’s chains. The glass candle is meant to represent truth and learning, rare and beautiful and fragile things. It is made in the shape of a candle to remind us that a maester must cast light wherever he serves, and it is sharp to remind us that knowledge can be dangerous. Wise men may grow arrogant in their wisdom, but a maester must always remain humble. The glass candle reminds us of that as well. Even after he has said his vow and donned his chain and gone forth to serve, a maester will think back on the darkness of his vigil and remember how nothing that he did could make the candle burn . . . for even with knowledge, some things are not possible.” (first chapater of AFFC)
“Call it dragonglass.” Archmaester Marwyn glanced at the candle for a moment. “It burns but is not consumed.”
“What feeds the flame?” asked Sam.
“What feeds a dragon’s fire?” (last chapter of AFFC)

And maester Aemon said something about it in his dying fever:
"He spoke of dreams and never named the dreamer, of a glass candle that could not be lit and eggs that would not hatch. He said the sphinx was the riddle, not the riddler, whatever that meant. "

Unless yer telling me Sarella and Alleras are two different .

I have no doubt that Alleras and Sarella are two different persons; one of them is the Viper's daughter and the other is the Targaryen heir! The theory that it's the same person is impossible - Sarella is a woman of twenty while Alleras is a teen boy - maybe you can trick someone at a Halloween party, but not in the REAL life! If Sarella was a dude and just pretended to be Oberyn's daughter - that would never go unnoticed; she grew up with her sisters - they WOULD know if she was not a girl (and that means all Dorne would know and so on), and if it was Sarella the girl who pretended to be Alleras the boy - that is impossible too, 'cos the boy is LIVING in the Citadel for an YEAR - someone would have noticed that it's a twenty year old woman (especially the SMART maesters who teach there).

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Lets see if I can explain this again....cause if one person misses something its usually their fault, if more than one person misses a several points then its probably the posters fault (that would be me)

Tysha- The think the Dragonglass Candle has nothing to do with the idea that Alleras and Sarella are different people and Alleras is Aegon. The reason is simple, its too risky to call attention to yourself by lighting a significant candle like that named after the House youre trying to hide. That was the point in that snippet you quoted above. Now I see how people can say they were misquoted when its the exact same words that were quoted.

I have no doubt a woman of 20 could pass for a teen boy in an extended cloistered isolated environment like Old Town. This is the "mysterious" Sphinx for one. Not your runamuck ragamuffin street urchin types that loiter around the pool halls or what not. The mysterious Sphinx. Just take a gander at Sandy Duncan as Peter Pan back in the day. It is a staple hollywood conceit if nothing else. Heck I remember an article in the newspaper growing up about a woman that made it through Basic Training and AIT (about a year of close proximity) in the Army made it all the way til her first duty station. Lord knows how she passed the physical on the way in the door. As for the SMART Maester comment....Not all of em are Aemon, I think more of em are Pycelle than they let on. Whatever they are, they are not worldly.

Boaz- I actually contended that the Sand Snakes do know. At least the older 4. They would know hes a she but maybe not who he/she is. As for Doran I cant say whether or not he's involved in this but I will say except for the one obvious thing and the color of a bow on a kids head its not that easy to tell infants and toddlers genders apart. Im not saying Doran doesnt know, I am saying we dont have all the details about the kids playing in the water together. Maybe Sarella wasnt there at all.

Of course he didnt train his daughters in secret. He did so out in the open for everyone to see. All of them, even the NotDaughter.

I dont think Aemon is being fed information. I think he found a hole in the Vipers cover story for Sarella by reading census reports merchant contracts and the whatnot, started digging, found out more, asked a few questions, then concluded that there was something fishy. Then asked himself why the Viper would cover up a persons background of Sarellas age.....put 2 and 2 together got 47 and decided the Sphinx was the riddle not the riddler.

We know the Viper is kind of androgynous about life. Hes the manly metrosexual ideal, I really dont see this kind of plot as far fetched for him.

 

[Tysha]

its too risky to call attention to yourself by lighting a significant candle like that named after the House youre trying to hide.

And that's why the candle is being kept out of sight (at Archmaester Marwyn's room with a closed door, where only Sphinx, Sam and Jaqen are allowed to enter.
Well, I don't know how the candle came has been lit, maybe it started to burn the moment when Alleras/Aegon came to the Citadel (recall that acolytes are required to try and light this candle the night before they say their vows... so he has probably been the first to succeed since the last dragon died) or maybe Viper has send Alleras/Aegon to lit it to convince Archmaester Marwyn that Alleras was a Dragon, so Archmaester Marwyn could help him...

So, why do YOU think Jaqen is there anyway?

I have no doubt a woman of 20 could pass for a teen boy in an extended cloistered isolated environment like Old Town.

He is not just at Oldtown, he is an acolyte at the Citadel, he lives with other boys, there are no women at the Citadel (and no girl bathroom as well)... Remember how Arya had a hard time to hide her real gender when travelling with Yoren? And she was only a little dirty girl who has looked like a boy anyway, but, she only needed to pee - and that was not that easy and caused suspicions...

Heck I remember an article in the newspaper growing up about a woman that made it through Basic Training and AIT (about a year of close proximity) in the Army made it all the way till her first duty station.

And I remember an article about a man who was kidnaped by aliens...Hey, maybe that was what happened to Elvi...I mean Aegon Even if that article was true, it still sounds unrealistic, and George R.R. Martin has a very realistic point of view. Fortunately.

I think he found a hole in the Vipers cover story for Sarella by reading census reports merchant contracts and the whatnot, started digging, found out more, asked a few questions, then concluded that there was something fishy. Then asked himself why the Viper would cover up a persons background of Sarellas age.....put 2 and 2 together got 47 and decided the Sphinx was the riddle not the riddler.

Why should Aemon (a Maester of the Night Watch and a Targaryen ) care about Viper and his daughters and digging about it? The only thing Aemon was thinking about while dying (and that's when he said this phrase about the Sphinx) were the Dragons, the Prophecy, and the Targaryens! I don't know how it came to him - probably some weird foresight dream, but, as he said - this is the weird time when anything is possible and prophecies come true.

 

[Young stormlord]

To citate Xaro: It is said that glass candles are burning in the house of Urrathon Night-Walker,that haven't burned in hundred years.

Glass candles wasn't burning since last dragon dyed. The only reason why Marwin's candle is burning is because dragons are alive again and magic is back in the world. I think about real dragons not Targaryens by the way.

So what If Alleras has 3 parts of a chain? Both Oberyn and Rhaegar were at Citadel and were good students. It is not proof, no more than Pycelle is Aemon's son because they both were good student at Cytadelle.

About Pate: Could it be that "Jaquen" is fat man that Arya served wine at Braavos?

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Tysha- Acolytes in study imply cramped cells and individual piss pots. Not a communal arrangement like Arya had on the road. I can only compare Maesters to modern day monks in that arrangement. These people wear robes, seclude themselves to study, have individual cells, have individual bathrooms (admittedly just holes in the floor a half step away from their bad). In this arrangement she could pass for quite some time as a boy/girl. Of course Im contending that Alleras is Sarella is Aegon so hes a she is a he anyhow so at the end of the day this doesnt bother me.

Heres the thing with Aemon. He read everything. Before his eyes went bad, then he had everything read to him. Im not saying he went looking for this information, he read something which clicked in his razor-sharp mind and then went digging. He sent out a few birds, got some information from some books and dig around for years. And he did this over a decade. Because he's Aemon, he's the freakin Batman of Westeros dammit. I would think this would support your theory Tysha on Alleras being Aegon....so how would you think Aemon has an inkling to Aegon? He was originally in the know? I dont think Aemon had a prophetic dream in his delirious state, I think he had the flash of insight that allowed him to connect that which he'd already started questioning.

Im gonna go with YS on the candles. I thought it was something like the pyromancers fire....they'd been trying for generations then all of a sudden poof its lit. The candles shouldnt have anything to do with The Dragon Prince returned or whatnot because no matter how secret you keep this you risk discovery. It just seems like poking a bear with a stick to light this candle. Maybe no one will notice and maybe we'll keep it a secret and maybe we wont.

 

[TK-421]

I also agree with YS about the dragonglass candles. But, let us remember as well that there was a feeling of secrecy to lighting it and Marwin certainly has selected certain trainees (or whatever Maesters-in-training are called) to witness the lighting of the candle. Otherwise, the Head Maester would of done it in a ceremony of sorts. There was almost (dare I say it) air of conspiracy to that chapter.

I also doubted that Arellas=Sarella and now that Aegon has been added to the mix, they definetly CANNOT be the same person. In can hear the themesong for The Crying Game everytime I read this thread. Sarella is in hiding somewhere or maybe on her way to catch up with Quentyn in order to force Doran to release her sisters.

 

[Tysha]

Aegon the Unworthy and Young stormlord - OK, maybe the candle thing proves nothing by itself, but - it's just a little hint, there are many others!
Ok, the my theory goes like that:

1. Princess Elia fears for her children lives (while Robert's rebelion) and replaces her own babe with some other poor child, while sending (in secret) Aegon to her family in Dorne, to be precise, to Viper (who was very close to Elia and surely knows how to keep a secret).
2. Aegon is raised with Viper's daughters (not as his own son or god help me DAUGHTER). Aegon and Sarella grew up together, they were close friends (maybe she even knew the secret though I doubt anyone knew besides Viper), luckily - the boy had the dornish looks of his mother.
3. When Viper feels the time has come (rumors about the dragons and Dany) he sends Aegon to the Citadel and goes to Kings Landing (for vengeance). Why does he chose Citadel for Aegon? He has friends there (Marwyn?) and Aegon will be safe there. To make sure, he hires a Faceless Man (Jaqen) to protect Aegon while he is there. (I guess that Jaqen had to reach Citadel earlier, but he was delayed at Kings Landing ..)
4. When Aegon forges his first link, he becomes an acolyte, and he should say his vows. So he spends the night with the candle, like any other acolyte, but in his case the candle burns. Look, we do not know that, but it looks like a nice (small) part of the theory so far, ok?
5. Where is Sarella meanwhile? Well, she can be anywhere, but if they grew up together, they must be close, so I guess "her little game" has something to do with Aegon/Alleras.
6. Have a look at Aegon's friends (court?) at the Citadel. He has the Archmaester Marwyn the Mage, the Faceless Man, and Sam (who came from Aemon Targaryen, bringing valuable information about Dany and the dragons). So Aegon waits for something, and gets ready meanwhile.

That's my theory. You are not convinced? Fine, then please tell another theory that explains the "Dragon has three heads" prophecy, the "Sphinx is the riddle", the dragonglass candle, the Faceless Man at the Citadel, and try to fit there Alleras=Sarella which you believe is true

 

[Boaz]

Tysha, thanks for spelling it out. The first two points finally lead to the rest. So Aegon=Alleras. Sarella is best friends with Aegon, supporting him in this venture. Hmmm. This is a lot to think about.

Lord knows I need to re-read with these new ideas in mind, but I'm gonna go ahead and post some thoughts and questions off the top of my head...

If Elia sent Aegon away, she did it in total secrecy. We've seen from the Baratheon/Lannisters and Targaryens that the royal family never travels without the Kingsguard. The only example of this seems to be Rhaella's and Viserys' trip to Dragonstone to await the outcome on the Trident. Your point that Elia sent Aegon to the Viper requires the heir of the heir to travel without a White Cloak. Perhaps with Rhaegar gone, Aerys distracted, Rhaella gone, and with Varys' help Elia was able to send Aegon via trusted Dornish friends... which means someone close to the Viper knew/knows. His paramour? Was she a confidante of Elia? What about Ashara Dayne? Was she ever one of Elia's maids?

You say Alleras somehow lit the candle, but none of the acolytes nor Marwyn confirmed this. If he had, don't you think this might have been mentioned in the Pate preface to AFFC? I don't know how often an acolyte spends the night, but I'd think even the densest Pates could connect Alleras' night with the lighting of the candle.

YS proposed that the candle is lit because of the revival of dragons. The Pyromancers of KL confirmed that their containment spells are now more effective and that the potency of Wildfyre is increased since (unknown to them) dragons have returned. Also I wonder if dragonglass held it's properties of other slaying while dragons were absent? Perhaps it is not coincidence that Sam slew an other after Dany birthed her clutch.

So is Young Griff actually Young Griff?

What about the alcoholic lecherous acolyte that Pate and the rest detest? Could this be Sarella's disguise? By publicly disliking each other, they are not seemingly connected to anyone looking. Alleras is obviously connected to not-Pate, Sam, Marwyn, and others... but not the jerk whose name escapes me.

Obara's mother was an Oldtown prostitute. It's said she died soon after the Viper took Obara. What if she did not... would this not provide Sarella with a contact? Perhaps Sarella is related to Rosey. I'm sure Oberyn had many contacts, but I'm just looking at what I know.

Euron's horn is supposed to have an effect on dragons. What about Targaryens? Will the horn affect them? Euron and his fleet are currently raiding downriver from Oldtown, compared to the overall size of Westeros, Euron and Alleras are in close proximity. Probably nothing comes of this... unless Alleras was looking in the Citadel for clues to the horn.

 

[MIDNIGHT]

1st, Great theory. Ties up some loose end nicely.
However as someone already pointed out Alleras has dark (teak, brown, whatever...) skin. Aegon as described in the books has Targaryen traits such as silvery hair and fair skin not dornish traits of dark skin or dark CURLY hair for that matter. Yes maybe he sits in his cell at night with hot rollers in his hair and a bottle of black dye, But I find that highly unlikely and improbable(is that a word?). I would love to eat this theory up as much as the next person. We are dying for something new to discuss, I'm just not taking the cake. (cowers and awaits flaming!!)

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

For the record I actually dont buy any of this. Im just discussing for the sake of discussing....(for me its still Young GRIFF=Aegon)

Just a couple of points about why Sarella and Alleras are one and the same. Feel free to tear those apart.....probably should go find the thread where we initially hammered this out.

Similarity of birth. Both Alleras and Sarella claim to be from a Dornish/Summer Isle mix. That particular combo can not be that common as the two countries do not share a border. Not saying its uncommon just saying its not common. So they share similar coloring. Not definitive but another piece to the puzzle. Aegon would not share this coloring.

Alleras is described as a comely youth. Thats a nicer way of saying effeminate, regardless though it implies both a youthful appearance and a metrosexual quality. Rhaegar was never described as being particularly comely or ambigously unmanly. Not definitive.

The sphinx is mysterious, wearing robes and hoods and what not. He is enigmatic to his classmates. These are not traits that Alleras/Aegon would neccessarily be forced to adopt. Again not definitive but another piece of the puzzle.

The strange coincidence of the name mirroring itself. When Sarella is "playing a game" in Old Town this would seem to be the perfect ah ha Im not who you think I am kind of thumb the nose gesture a prankster would make. Not definitive. Why would Aegon feel the need to do this?

Maester Aemon did not have a prophetic fever dream. He admitted to Jon earlier that he did not have the spark for magic even though he studied it. I do not believe him to be playing Jon for a sucker at that point in time. Therefore his conclusions should be taken as moment of fevered insight and desire to express to Sam what he knew in an instant.

For reasons Midnight mentioned above Alleras is probably not actually Aegon. Silver hair is harder to hide than a utereus in this case. Disagree with me all you want but the way George describe this Sphinx screams chick-like to me. Not son of Rhaegar.....but daughter of viper.

 

[The Rabid Bunny]

I just wanted to let you all know that I love reading everyone's theories. Since I don't have anyone to talk to about these books, your theories give me a lot of insight. I always figured that Aegon was stillalive somewhere, but never even considered that he could be at the Citadel. I was wondering about the significance of all of the new characters in the prologue of AFFC (slaps forhead). Thanks!!!

 

[Young stormlord]

Aegon the Unworthy and Young stormlord - OK, maybe the candle thing proves nothing by itself, but - it's just a little hint, there are many others!
.....

That's my theory. You are not convinced? Fine, then please tell another theory that explains the "Dragon has three heads" prophecy, the "Sphinx is the riddle", the dragonglass candle, the Faceless Man at the Citadel, and try to fit there Alleras=Sarella which you believe is true

And fine theory that is . But in that theory you forgot to give us some real evidences. Give me 2 evidences I cannot beat and I be first to follow you ,Tisha . And I don't want evidences to be some wild guessing, speculation,prophecy or mumbling of old dying man. Everybody can give you above mentioned and make a story. I want something real.

To Boaz: Alcoholic acolyte is Leo Tyrell, also called Lazy Leo. He recognised Sam and called him whale in a cloak. That could also be reason for Martells to spy Oldtown. As I can remember there are at least 3 (male) Tyrells there : Lazy Leo, captain of Oldtown watch and Maester Grommon.

I actualy agree with Midnight and Aegon. And I add proof: Elya is said to have pale skin in story told by Meera Reed. It is not likely that children of Rhaegar and Elya have dark skin.

I have also found thread where we discussed about Alleras=Sarella

http://www.chronicles-network.com/forum/36139-quaithe-a-sand-snake.html
