Ser Arthur Dayne was a knight of Starfall and the Sword of the Morning. He was the younger brother of Ali Dayne, and the elder brother of Ashara and Allyria Dayne. Hailing from House Dayne he became a member of Aerys II’s Kingsguard and was considered the most chivalrous warrior of the Seven Kingdoms. He had the sword Dawn, and wore it on his back. He gained the trust of the smallfolk of the kingswood by paying what he and his forces took their grievances to Aerys II. Arthur defeated the Smiling Knight in a single combat and ended the threat of outlaws. He then shortly after knighted Jamie Lannister (Jamie who idolized Arthur greatly). He became the champion of the tournament that honored Viserys Targaryen’s birth in 276 AC, defeating Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. However Arthur lost to the Prince by breaking 12 lances against Rhaegar at the tourney at Storm’s End. At the tourney at Harrenhal in 281 AC, he lost againto Rhaegar. Him and Rhaegar were also said to be very close friends. It is speculated that Arthur help aid in the kidnapping of Lyanna Stark near Harrenhal at the end of the year of the false spring. Once the rebellion ended, Arthur along with Ser Oswell Whent and Ser Gerold Hightower were found at the Tower of Joy. Arthur was killed there by Eddard Stark and his companions, but the exact details are unknown. Eddard Stark described Arthur Dayne as one of the finest knights he had ever seen, and said Arthur would have killed him if not for Howland Reed. Catelyn Stark also referred him as the deadliest knight of Aerys II’s kingsguards. Stones used from the Tower of Joy were used to build Arthur’s cairn by a nearby ridge. Arthur Dayne’s sword Dawn was returned by Eddard Stark to Lady Ashara Dayne, as a sign of great respect. He was remembered as a skilled fighter, along as a valiant and true knight.

The Valonqar is a dude: "And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." (Cersei VIII, AFFC) I get that Valonqar is gender neutral but the prophecy also says that "his" hands will choke Cersei. So. Yeah. Keep your Sansa and Arya and any other woman = Valonqar away from me, lol.

Hello, welcome to (what I believe is) the first Rhaegar x Lyanna Week! The event will take place from Monday 4th of Dec to Sunday 10th, just weeks before Christmas.

This pairing is quite controversial and gets looked at in a negative light and is often hated - which is sometimes understandable - but why don’t we make something positive for these two?

Everything is welcome: fanfic, graphics, fanart, fanvids…anything you can think of! You can do one or all of the prompts, whatever you like!

Day One (4th) - first meeting Day Two (5th) - queen of love and beauty Day Three (6th) - blue roses Day Four (7th) - prince that was promised Day Five (8th) - ‘a woman’s name upon his lips’ Day Six (9th) - modern au Day Seven (10th) - alternate universe

Do you think Arya will ever marry and/or have children? I love your blog and meta!

Thanks for the question and apologies for the lateness 😘So I do think Arya will marry and have children before this story is all over. I go into more detail here: http://maisiestyle.tumblr.com/post/166672747540/arya-stark-motherhood-this-clear-parallelHinted in several places already, but wow this is a great parallel George creates with the kind of Lady and mother Arya would be:dacey once told cat:

“There’s a carving on our gate,“ said Dacey. “A woman in a bearskin, with a child in one arm suckling at her breast. In the other hand she holds a battleaxe. She’s no proper lady, that one, but I always loved her.”

~*~

As they were running toward the barn, Arya spied the crying girl (3 years old) sitting in the middle of the chaos, surrounded by smoke and slaughter. She grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to her feet as the others raced ahead. The girl wouldn’t walk, even when slapped. Arya dragged her with her right hand while she held Needle in the left.

The Grand Northern Conspiracy

I’ve attempted to talk about this theory with many ASOIAF fans on Tumblr, but apparently it’s not as widespread as I’d thought it would be. (As it should be.) So I’ve gathered a masterlist of the best meta about this theory.

If one third of the speculations I’ve read turn out to be true, I can die a happy fan. The Grand Northern Conspiracy theories feed my soul and my broken wolfish heart.
