![]() But with the Shadow, or from the Shadow seems more likely to me. Possibly the dragons came before the Shadow. And independently of Bran's vision, I can't avoid to believe the Shadow is the cause or the consequence of the dark arts and necromancy that were performed before the Long Night. ![]() But " to Asshai by the Shadow, where dragons stirred beneath the sunrise" seems to unambiguously suggest that the dragons first appeared there. We may argue about our (or rather Bran's) interpretation of the vision. I would rather then believe his judgment.īut to me, Bran's vision should be an unquestionable truth. ![]() Suggesting he questioned the authenticity of the legend and found no evidence to discard it. It is ruled by a God-Emperor, who is worshiped as divine, though in the present day the God-Emperor has little actual power beyond the limits of the capital city. It is the supposed successor to the mythic Great Empire of the Dawn, which, according to legend, fell during the Long Night. But in the case of the Kindly man, he was cautious himself: " If the old tales can be believed". The Golden Empire of Yi Ti is a realm located in the eponymous region of the Further East of Essos. We always need to be cautious with what is written in the old books. I forgot this reference to the dragons' origin in Bran's vision. "He lifted his eyes and saw clear across the narrow sea, to the Free Cities and the green Dothraki sea and beyond, to Vaes Dothrak under its mountain, to the fabled lands of the Jade Sea, to Asshai by the Shadow, where dragons stirred beneath the sunrise. I had guessed that the name "scales" came from some decoration that Child was wearing and I had written the Shrykes off as mutants created by unhealthy energies from K'Dath. Tying the CotF to the World-Ash's squirrel (ratatosk? something like that) makes a lot of sense, imho because it functions as a messenger between the serpent/dragon Nidhogg among the roots (who is entropy) and the eagle in the boughs, he is a 'voice" as the CotF are. It makes the whole thing way creepier with Bran. That could be Bloodraven, and it also has a squirrel that runs up and down the trunk (hence, the "squirrel people" nickname). This theory is from James of Thrones, who has a youtube channel.Īlso, Yggdrasil has a serpent in its roots. Unless they are lizard people? Elves usually live in the forest. One of them is nicknamed "scales" by the kids. Three fingered hands with black claws - check. Leaf, one of the Children of the Forest, emerges from the cave of the Three-Eyed Raven to save Bran Stark and his companions from a group of wights. Have you heard the theory that the cotf are lizard people? Cat's eyes - lizards and snakes have them.
