Yes great question. When Winds comes out this year, the prologue will be written by a maester or someone connected to the Citadel. It will be set in one of the major locations of the realm we haven’t yet been to. Mayhaps… - Casterly Rock or Lannisport - Highgarden - Storms End
Other potential settings, less “major city” and more “major plot point” - Starfall - ruins of Summerhall - Tower of Joy (present day) - Lys, Tyrosh, Myr - Gulltown
OH. the fucking dreadfort.
Starfall would be very cool, but also the fucking dreadfort! The fandom can always count on you!!
The long tenured Starfall maester reflects on his complicity in faking the deaths of Ashara and Arthur, then Darkstar comes in, steals Dawn, and runs over the maester with his horse on the way out.
Now that would be an interesting chapter!
Also, where are Ashara and Arthur? Ashara could be at grey water watch…but Arthur? Idk
Arthur could have been Qhorin Halfhand (rip) or have become a faceless man. (Almost zero evidence for either)
Yeah I don’t buy into any of those, not a fan of that tinfoil universe
That’s fair. The Tower of Joy / Ashara is my JFK assassination. The story just doesn’t add up and I spiral and spiral on all the little holes in the story.
Agreed, plus the whole thing with Ned Stark bringing the sword Dawn back to Starfall and the Dayne family being ok with it, even honoring him by naming a future child after him!
