Salty janitor edition
I went down to the beach today /got/, and it had me thinking about the Iron Islands.
We all kinds of assume that they're small little islands, but considering Westeros is actually the size of South America, shouldn't the Iron Isles actually be around the size of the British Isles? Or Ireland, at the very least.
Those islands have quite a lot of land and mass on them, and lots of castles. It makes imagining how Ironborn culture works a lot easier, and imagining Robert's defeating of the Greyjoy rebellion much more impressive
I'm pretty sure /got/ is finished
Our general has been banned, it was nice knowing you all.
episode when though
>>69246122
I thought they were based on Ireland.
>>69246126
It has? Why?
Why did Balon make a big deal to Yara about making a new heir if she disobeyed him when it sounds like they vote for new rulers anyway?

>High Sparrow: You don't fear justice... You welcome it. Your punishment must be more severe.
>Jaime Lannister: Death?
>High Sparrow: Yes. But not of your body... Of your soul.
>Jaime Lannister: Where am I?
>High Sparrow: Home, where I learned the truth about despair, as will you. There's a reason why this Sept is the worst hell on earth... Hope. Every man who has ventured here over the centuries has looked up to the seven pointed star and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy... So simple... And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. I learned here that there can be no true despair without hope. So, as I terrorize King's Landing, I will feed its people hope to poison their souls. I will let them believe they can survive so that you can watch them clamoring over each other to "stay in the sun." You can watch me torture an entire empire and when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill The Mother's Mercy... We will destroy the Seven Kingdoms and then, when it is done and Lannisport is ashes, then you have my permission to die.
What did he mean by this?
>>69246122
The Iron Islands are somewhat like Corsica, Sicily, Sardinia and more smaller islands mashed together.

True, that is strange.
>Unlike regular lordships or the kings of the mainland, in past centuries the King of the Iron Islands was not a hereditary monarchy, but an elective kingship
Maybe the iron king is elected, but the Lordship of Pyke is still hereditary? So even though she knew she was unlikely to win the vote, she could be lord?

so where are the leaks ?
>>69246449
>>69246553
Yes, that's exactly it. Pyke belongs to the Greyjoys, but they are not the only lords that can claim the right to be kings of the Ironborn (from their own fortress).
>>69246486
You are a pathetic peasant, you wet the bed AND you have filthy underpants
>>69246588
i think the question you need to ask yourself is, would you rather have barristan being a badass, or missandei tits?
>>69246587
how does that work? after his spoilers leak, I get LESS hype by the shit story that turns out to be true
>>69246381
>>69246469
Well, GRRM is a screenwriter after all, and film swordfights are all about slashing in big arcs. Realistic combat, like halfswording and grappling, would just not work on screen. Even without those, realistic fencing is too fast for the layman's eye.

>>69246713
Does that mean the Salt Throne =/= the Seastone Chair?
Are the spoilers that fake as fuck death list from last night? If you believe that then kys senpai
What's your favourite "D&D can't write believable character motivations" moment? Mine is either this or Robb Stark wants to tap some foreign booty because reasons.
I thought the Dornishman just gave opinions this time since he couldn't give spoilers?
>>69246676
Yeah that... wood? bone? is gonna heavy enough to be a significant weight compared to the STEEL OF THE FUCKING HANDLE AND BLADE
>>69246622
I'd rather have barristan being a badass, and if I want to watch tits I have the internet.

Plus, it's not just 'that one scene'... it's like in every story arc they kill/ruin the best characters and keep/promote the shitty ones.
Kill off selmy, keep greyworm/missandei
Kill off Doran, keep ellaria/sneks
Kill off Roose, keep Ramsay
>in b4 the showfag tard twist that around to imply I said these were all excellent characters
No, but they're all much better than the shit they kept instead.

>>69246717
I'd want to call you a showfag but they explain that on the show as well.
Just forgot I guess?
Anyway : It was a bear originally, but when Mormont decided to give it to Jon they reshaped it into a wolf.
>>69246788
Hi, Kit!
>>69246744
AFAIK the seastone chair hasn't been mentioned on the show. But if I'm right, then yes. The Seastone chair would be the physical throne found by the Ironborn settlers from whoever came before. The salt throne might be an abstract idea of rulership. Though you'd wonder- why not called The Stone/Rock Throne? Considering rock wife is the main primary wife of an Ironborn, whereas salt wives are concubines and slaves (so I'm imagining rock>salt)

ramsay is called a manlet all the time as well. it's probably your 2nd day in /got/
Not as often as for Kit, but it's because Ramsay doesn't have a horde of cocksucker praising him all the time so no one cares that he's a manlet.
>>69246788
Fuck off Kit
>>69246853
That would be really dumb

Not to mention Aidan Gillen or Michael McElhatton
A couple of years ago, I got myself a bit of work as an extra on Game of Thrones, just in the background on some of the bigger scenes. As anyone who’s done this sort of work will know, it’s not that exciting, but the money isn’t bad, considering that you don’t really have to do much.
One of the worst things is that there’s a lot of waiting around doing nothing while the crew set stuff up. Generally speaking, the proper cast - as opposed to the extras - all fuck off and sit in a trailer to warm up and have a coffee, while the rest of us wait around outside.
On one of these occasions, we’d been standing around doing nothing for about half an hour, so out of boredom I decided to have a wander around. That’s when I noticed Maisie Williams just on her own, leaning up against a wall. I wasn’t going to try anything on, she just looked liked she had nobody to talk to, and I thought it would be cool to say hi to her, so I walked over.
She didn’t notice me at first, so I just said “Hi”, which made her look up. I didn’t even get the chance to say another word before she looked at me with this look of utter disgust on her face and shouted out in a sarcastic tone of voice “What? Seriously?”
I was completely taken aback and just stuttered “I.. I just thought…” She took a pace towards me, raising her voice and said “You thought WHAT? Thought I’d suck your dick?”
By now I’m mortified, just opening and closing my mouth, but she gets even louder and starts making this sort of whooping siren noise and shouting “PEDO ALERT, PEDO ALERT.” (I’m about three years older than her by the way.)
I step back, but she’s still advancing on me making this whooping noise, until a couple of guys from the crew arrived. One of them said something to her, and other led me away, just saying “Don’t worry mate, it’s not you, it’s not you.” I didn’t get in any trouble, just steered clear her for the rest of the time I was working there.
>>69246853
i wish they would keep some ambiguity
but considering euron's hamfisted introduction/ little fingers involvement in joffery's death i have zero faith

Exactly, there are many actors of average and normal height on GOT. Only one gets mocked though.
>>69246959
Well there isn't any allusions to him being a targ in the show so it wouldn't be bad if they said as much
>>69246752
Robb's reason is literally the same as in the books: love. The "honor" thing was only a tall tale he used to justify marrying Jeyne to his mom ("Family, Duty, Honor").
>>69246947
w-when exactly did that happen? trying to picture it with the right maisie in mind
>>69246969
>Can't I still enjoy a simple fantasy novel
He literally has the worst prose of any mainstream author with the exception of that 50 Shades of Grey author.
He's shit. There's nothing wrong with enjoying it, but people need to quit acting like these books are some sort of masterwork that's being ruined by muh D&D.
>>69247027
No it's not, he and Jeyne didn't even know each other. It was Ned's influence that got Robb killed and further proof that an excess in honor and political intelligence are contradictory.
>>69247022
Dude it's because he's considered a sex symbol or something. It's just like Orlando Bloom back in the day. He had a lot of fangirls, but without the elf wig he wans't that greek god people hyped him to be.
>>69247023
i disagree
even if it's a connection obvious enough that a showfag could figure it out, it still beats clunky exposition that outright states it.
>>69247027
jeyne took advantage of robb while he was grieving the loss of his brother and he felt honor bound to marry her.

Gillen is 1.75
>>69247027
>love
Robb didn't have sex with Jeyne because he loved her. He was injured, drugged with opiates and grieving because he was told that his brothers had died. He had sex with Jeyne in a moment of weakness, realised his mistake the next morning and married her because it was the honourable thing to do. He knew this would threatened his alliance with the Freys but if he didn't marry Jeyne it would go against all that his father taught him. Simply put Robb was too much like his father and their sense of honour got them killed. TV Robb just fell in love and should have been fully aware about the repercussions of his actions. There was nothing honourable about it.

>>69247148
>or so he said
Not marrying Jeyne also would break ANOTHER, older promise, which would also go against anything his father taught him. His father, who brought "a bastard of his" to Winterfell.
He obviously fell in "teen love" with Jeyne and wouldn't want to let her go (the bastard wasn't really a problem, since Jeyne's mother gave her moon tea to make sure she doesn't actually get pregnant). I don't believe he truly married "out of honor", I think in both the books and the show he just got infatuated with young love and decided to abandon his previous oath.
Promie me, Ned
>>69247225
She was too busy pulling promises from Ned and she likely would have chosen a stupid name anyway.
That said, was it strange or an honor for Jon to be named after Jon Arryn, considering he was a bastard and all?

Robert named one of his bastards after Ned.
>>69247260
Breaking a promise to Freys is one thing, dumping a ruined girl after her family risked their lives to help him is another. He chose the lesser of two evils even if it was a stupid choice.
>>69247235

I like him but he wouldn't have worked for the show at all. Replacing him with Yara is stupid though.
>>69247292

>tfw you'll never set sail for Ib Nor with blood magiv
>>69247260
>brought "a bastard of his" to Winterfell
This was different. As shown with his execution the one thing that Ned puts above his honour is family. When Lyanna made Ned promise her to keep Jon save from Robert's wrath (yes that's what happened because it's bloody obvious) Ned forsook his honour to protect his family.
>>69247319

No, where'd you get that idea?
He didn't get stuck in Ghost if that's what you're implying, as Jon says in the upcoming episode, he was nowhere.
>>69247363
And you wonder why d&d make things so explicit
It's to pander to idiots like yourself
>>69247235
These don't really count as 'retroactively' pham
>>69247363
The show has completely left out the "Stark" kids warging, so I don't think that it matters in the resurrection scene. He just came back the way Beric came back. Not even Arya was shown to warg, and hers was more obvious in the book.
Unless you believe in the theory that Sansa warged the Hound into protecting her.
>>69247299
>dumping a ruined girl after her family risked their lives to help him is another.
>implying
As king he still could've married her off to someone else, even deflowered, as plenty of Kings have done in the past.
And breaking a bethrothal to a Frey is a much greater evil considering the Freys own that bridge, have a sizable army that they'd be unable to use and he made a vow
>>69247403
>Jon
>In the show
>a warg
Yeah, no.
>>69247403
You didn't answer my question. When, at any point, did Jon or someone around Jon ever mention warging?
>>69247380
I agree. We need to be more active in reporting other GoT threads and linking them to come here to the general
By no more "x edition" do you mean have links, news etc in the OPs?

Barristan was literally endboss tier and they treated him like nothing.
>>69247425
>greater evil
No, it's not. The Westerlings would still get fucked over (as per what Robb knew) and he wasn't even really a king. At best Jeyne could be married off to some Northern nobody, her family wouldn't want that. From his point of view yes, he broke a promise to the Freys but nobody there actually got hurt, the Westerlings got it worse all around.

To be honest? Yes. We need to be an actual general instead of a chatroom thread, those /got/ threads outside /got/ feels more like an actual general than this dump we've had for 3 years now
>>69246122
It's worth remembering that the Iron Islands have more people in them than Dorne. Dorne's bigger though.
>>69247514
Congrats on making the cut. You're almost a manlet.
>>69247468
What? What the fuck are you talking about? They have to set up Jon as being a warg or they'll confuse the general show-only watchers. I doubt anyone outside of bookfags even know Jon is a warg.
>>69247452
I'm one of the people who supported that change, to keep thread wars at bay, instead of having "X edition" (which is more useless than the links and wikis), we should make the general's face the same with every thread
>>69247490
>breaking a vow to a family that owns a bridge you'd need and an army you'd need is less worse than deflowering a chick
No. Who cares if she married a Northern "nobody"? Their family ain't got shit anyway to get a "good" match.

Hey anons, HBO exec here.
Stop posting Sasha Grey and relating it to Ned Stark the King of the North.
We all agree here at HBO that Sasha is somewhat talented and could probably play Daenerys better than Emilia Clarke but its too late now.
Also be on the lookout for a surprise cameo in the next episode.. Towards the ending of the episode.. Blink and you will miss it.

They were of higher standing (reputation wise) than the Freys were. That's another reason why Robb's broken promise pissed them off so much.
So yes, Robb fucking them over after they did so much to help them (making them traitors in the process) would have been a ruthless, though sensible, thing to do.

Reputation don't mean shit when you don't have an army or the money to get a match.
Fuck a chick and marry her and lose out on a whole army but get a couple of knights, or marry her off to a Northern House, a second son which is still better than the nothing Jeyne had, and keep to the vow with the Freys and have their army and access to their bridge, no brainer

why? Probably gave Dayne a reason why he has to dualwield to take care of more than one of Ned's posse
What do you guys think the final scene in the show will be. Here's my guess based on previous season endings:
>Dany comes to a nearly destroyed / decimated Red Keep
>Riding Drogon
>Orders Drogon to set the Iron Throne ablaze, then flies off, the end while Dany's theme music plays, cut to black.
The only problem is her character development needs to lead to her realizing the Throne is worthless.
>>69247760
There is nothing indicating that Jeyne wouldn't have found a good husband. And yes, clearly he should have known better than to marry her, it was a mistake. But it was a mistake based on the honor system he was raised with, hence his (and Ned's) downfall.

By breaking the vow he besmirched himself and the Freys, he could've chosen to only besmirch the chick, he's a retard.
And Jeyne's the great grandkid of Maggy, her mother's side just a merchant family and the Westerlings are broke enough as they are, she was never gonna get much.
>>69247836
Jorah should've sold it to Tywin instead of breaking one of the North's laws so that he wouldn't have to be exiled and get cucked in the first place
>>69247753
>>69247836
better question would be, why even bring it to the wall (unless he knew the sword could kill Others and never told anyone, would be kinda retarded)?
Why not give it to Maege or someone?
on the wall it's just "a good sword".
>>69247806
>The only problem is her character development needs to lead to her realizing the Throne is worthless
stop projecting, we won't quote what your wife said about your dick, Mike. You gotta let it go.
>>69247920
He read the script and knew what was coming
>>69247836
It felt weird to me too. the sword was of mormont house not Jeor's personal sword. By giving it to jon jeor kind of cucked future mormonts
>>69247952
>By giving it to jon jeor kind of cucked future mormonts
This really bothered me.
>>69247952
>>69247995
Perhaps there are no future Mormonts
>>69247952
>future mormonts

>>69247920
He left it for Jorah. After jorah ran away Maege came to the wall and gave the sword to Jeor

>forgetting the letter Stannis received from Bear Island
>>69248009

>>69247914
no point. his gold digging whore of a wife would never be satisfied. eventually the gold would be gone and she'd leave him anyway. your ancestral sword is worth more than some marriage that had literally zero political value.
although i do wonder just how much tywin would pay for a valyrian steel sword. Longclaw sounds more appropriate for a lion than it does for a wolf.
>>69247952
The only remaining Mormonts are women. He knew the house was doomed.
>>69247806
Probably some next generation thing; maybe the first baby born after the Long Night, or a Harry Potter style flashforward with Jon andDanywith their kids, and Jon is dressed up to look like Ned or something.
>>69248052
I don't know, are there still men of House Mormont left?
>she was supposed to be khaleesi
>she looks like sid the sloth
>she was such a bad character in the pilot that she was replaced with emilia clarke, another shit-tier actress
>>69246242
Yeah only they are to the west and pretty far north getting close to sub arctic regions. They are clearly the Hebrides and Shetland isles after the Danes/Norwegians had conquered them.
>>69248052
Isn't it only women left?
>>69248058
Didnt Jaime mention that Tywin is after for a Valyrian sword? In the show or book?
>>69247999
>>69248006
Its certainly not dead house Alysane Mormont is current lady and it looks like will have no problem passing the Mormont name.
>>69248052
Perhaps Jeor knows his the bitter truth about his extended family: they are comprised of Faceless Men, bearfuckers and bastards
>>69248087
ayyy lmao
>>69248087
does she have FAS?
>>69248087
She is fucking hideous.
And I thought they replaced her because she left for something else.
I live in the hebrides and that's exactly what I thought when I first saw the iron islands
>>69248094
>>69248094
Not being an SJW but whats wrong with a strong independent womyn wielding a sword?
>>69248009
The whole Long Claw thing is super vague in the books too
He got it once Jorah exiled himself to evade execution. Why would he get the Mormont family sword when he no longer lays any claim to the family name? (vows and all)
SHouldn't Maege just keep the sword in case she has heirs?
It just seems like sloppy writing in the books and show to give the red herring prince a weapon against others
>>69248087
I kind of like it desu, she looks truly otherworldly
>>69248061
Doesn't really matter since Maege and her daughters kept the Mormont name
>>69248087
Jesus, what an uggo. We dodged a bullet there.
>>69248146
They can't pass on family names in most feudal systems.
>>69248087
>>69248140
Didn't another actress audition for Dany?
>>69248087
She should really get into playing sci-fi roles. She would make a great alien even without makeup. Then her face would be a selling point.
>>69248148
To me, I'd have thought Maege and the remaining Mormonts wouldn't want a sword of a slaver and Craven.
>>69248140
i heard her acting was abominable, truly shit.
>>69248097
in both. tywin wants valyrian steel really badly. that's why melting down ice was so important to him. he'd probably flip out if he knew jaime gave oathkeeper to brienne.
before aegon's conquest the lannisters used to have a VS sword named brightroar, but the western king took it with him to valyria and never returned.
>>69248177
They can in some rare cases, I just don't know if the Mormonts are influential or important enough for it.
Had nothing changed from A Game of Thrones they might have done something like marry Jon (or some lesser Northern noble) into the family and have him take the Mormont name.
>>69248061
Why didn't he just shag someone then
>>69248173
>dodged a bullet

>>69248237
Fuck off, Emilia is great.
>>69248177
Somehow the Mormont women do (Maege Mormont's daughters are all named Mormont)
>>69248148
yeah, unless there is a hidden reason we are not told yet, it just feels like GRRM just needed jon to have a valyrian sword.
>>69248250
Well fuck me then.
Idk.
>>69248217
But it isn't the sword of Jeor or Jorah
It is a FAMILY sword
Ice was wielded by bunch of weak cunts but the Starks don't give a fuck
>>69247753
To be fair, he had no male heir anymore.
>>69248258
GRRM has fudged some important little details like that (for instance, Robb/Theon never being betrothed or fostered, in the case of Robb).
>>69248258
yes because dragonsteel melts ice zombies
>>69246676
longsword pommels weren't counterbalances like modern fencing swords, you need the weight up the blade to be effective as a cutting weapon. all they were for is to look good and keep your hand sliding off

>>69248269
Mormonts confirmed for sexist pigs
>>69248177
If a lady marries to a significantly lower house, sometimes they can keep their fathers name and pass that onto the children
>>69248087
I dunno man,close the distance between her eyes and she'd be incredibly beautiful
Even know she has a certain appeal, altough she's not a traditional beauty
Kind of like a female Cumberbatch
>>69248244
I hope you don't mean she's a great actress. She used to be great to look at but she's turning into a bit of a chunky bitch lately.
>>69248264
Ice was such an amazing sword, holy fuck.
It pains me that the Lannisters destroyed it. It's worse than the red wedding.

>>69248289
Nobody is fucking bethrothed. Even guys like Wilis and Edmure in their twenties.
Seriously fucking Robert Baratheon is the greatest political mind in Westeros at the start of the series because he's the only one where the thought occured to him that he probably should marry off his son like he's supposed to in a feudal system.
>>69248311
>she'd be incredibly beautiful
I sincerely hope you are joking. Emilia is leagues hotter, so that's really saying something.
>>69248293
... well, it does
>>69248328
this desu
>>69248311
With makeup on and at the right angle she actually looks rather decent.
>>69248312
I don't think she's as bad as this general makes her out to be.
I also love her expressive eyebrows
>>69248269
Well if Jeor's niece had a son wouldnt he be his heir?
>>69248148
Speaking of valyrian swords...
Did Eddard have Ice at the ToJ?
>>69248346
No.
>>69248289
they're not important. they're autist details. fostering isn't mandatory, it's an optional custom that can help tie cross-noble bonds tighter. war of the five kings disrupted the habit for the present gen Starks.

>>69248364
Yeah, it was an unrealistic situation in general. The only ones who seemed to care were the Tyrells.
>>69248380
>I don't think she's as bad as this general makes her out to be.
She was good at being fragile and helpless in the first season. Anything else she failed at.
>>69248389
He did not, Ned wasn't strong enough to battle with it (he could scarcely lift Robert's warhammer), he had a sword made by Dolan Noy if I recall
>>69248415
>they're not important
It would be very important for powerful lords to keep their alliances strong. Ned had good relationships with a lot of people in Westeros, it makes no sense that his children were not fostered and even ignoring that, it makes even less sense that Robb essentially reached adult age without any stated marriage prospects.
>>69248461
> valyrian steel
> ned wasnt strong enough
>>69248379
Any fucking person that isn't disfigured can look good enough at the right angle with well done enough makeup, you fucking troglodyte.
>>69248514
oh shit right
his older brother had Ice I think so Aerys still had it at that point?
>>69248541
And she still looks like shit with all the makeup and "right angles."
>>69248550
Don't you mean Lord Rickard? He had it.
>>69248419
DABID BAD ENDING BAD ENDING DABID!!
Was Ned's Tower of Joy dream shown in the tv version? If not, I wonder if they'll have the same dialogue. Easily one of my favorite scenes desu.
>>69248550
ToJ happens after Robert was already on the throne.
Ned went south to finish the war after a heated falling out because Bobby B pardoned the Mountain's slaughter of Elia's children.
He probably already had Ice back
>>69248581
Since Rickard was called upon to the king and Brandon then came afterwards to save him I assumed he had it but yes same difference that's why ned didn't have it.
>>69248496
they keep alliances strong by being more powerful than any other potential allies the current ally may consider switching to. it's a romantic story already filled with 'graphs of fucking and food, high society cotillions and sweet sixteen galas just to satisfy autism would make the reading experience even more gay.
>>69248628
