Glad you liked it!

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of people say this but Brans chapters are some of my favourites, so much northern history and lore

Cheers! Yeah thought the subject matter was pretty metal so leant into it haha

Yeah and Pearl is also heavily associated with the Starks through the series too, with a Pearl Direwolf on Joffreys chalice and pearls all over Sansa’s cloak of Stark colours for Joffreys wedding

How else would you test if someone can fly?

Personally I think Bran the Builder is the son of the last hero, cleaning up after the long night but he could very well be the last hero himself yeah While there isn’t any examples of Starks in history throwing themselves from towers there are a lot of examples of maidens trapped in towers who have lost their family and either literally or symbolically fall from a tower eg. Ashara Dayne, Lysa Tully, Sansa Stark ect Check out my comment with Company of the Cat in this comments section

Thanks!

I think the Three Eyed Crow was the first human greenseer who found immortality through the Weirwoods

Checkout my greyscale kings under Winterfell series

@@eldric.stoneskin well thank you. but its too far out there to watch, nonsense . but yet i am going by the show,

Coz I’m a bad reader haha

Yes, that's the Australian Inflection you're hearing. Probably has something to do with being upsidedown during early development.

@@Brassblitz 🤣

Yeah that’s a very interesting scene, with Wun Wun being woken by a child and then described as a “boulder coming to life”, giving us a stone giant waking from the base of the Weirwoods

Yeah there’s some interesting parallels there, your right about making the shrouded lord laugh being connected to the smiling symbol, These are just some off the top of my head thoughts but The smiling knight reminds me of the knight of the laughing tree whcih was a smiling weirwood for sure, I’ll have to look further into this man

Bran does see “the bones of a thousand other dreamers” on the ground so yeah I think a lot of people did die in this leap as well And yeah the rest of what you describe is basically my theory, check out my other videos “Greenseers who became living statues” and “Does the horn of winter wake giants in the earth” or my Greyscale kings series

@eldric.stoneskin been following since you started so probably but hard to keep track of who's theory is who's or if I have a legitimate new idea. The Gods or whoever throwing out thousands of tests to find just an occasional seer is fine in theory but building a tower for your kids to jump off in their thousands is a bit more out there. The problem with time travel, if it exists, is that Ancient Bran could build any sort of nonsense machine knowing that what ever he comes up with will result in him anyway because, timeloop

Yeah it’s pretty dark but pretty cool, sacrificing the body for the mind, and I think this fits with the Ancient Starks, they were pretty dark and ruthless themselves by the sounds of things

You should check out the comment thread between myself and Company of the Cat in the comments on this video, Sansa leaping from a tower and wishing she could fly plays into the idea of leaping from the first keep for sure

@CompanyOfTheCat That is a great comment and you’ve given me a lightbulb moment! The idea of Starks abducting magical women for their skinchanging gift, while having a tower which you can leap from to awaken said gift, makes me think of the “maiden in the tower” trope we see constantly in ASOIAF With all of these maiden in the tower characters also having lost their family, just as the daughters of the Marsh King and The Warg King lost had For example; - Sansa at the top of the Eyrie - Arianne in the Spear Tower - Ashara Dayne in the Palestone tower - Jeyne Pool in the Great Keep ect We even find examples of these women who have lost family members falling from the tower they were trapped in, like Ashara Dayne, Lysa Arryn Perhaps the Starks of old locked the daughters of the marsh kings and Warg kings in the First keep, who after having lost their family jumped from the tower which didn’t kill them, but woke the gift the Starks were seeking to claim Sansa is a perfect example as her family has been killed, she has Warg blood, she been stolen for her bloodline and Stark name by littlefinger, has been locked in the symbolic tower of the Eyrie, and she has a lot of bird symbolism, wishing she could leap from the tower and fly, which is what happens when bran fall from the first keep I feel a video coming on….🧐

@@eldric.stoneskin Well, now I am waiting👀

Hey Karsnark, good to see you buddy🥺

Great call Karl, reminds me of Sansa (Little Bird) being trapped in the symbolic tower of the Eyrie, wishing she could fly or throwing herself out of a weirwood door as well

@@eldric.stoneskin Huzzah! I didn't even think of Sansa, but she checks all the boxes. I was also just mentioning your latest vid to @FeyFire on her channel in the comments of her new vid. She touches on the same "falling from a tower" motif with regards to Helena in HOTD, who is also "psychic" that eventually falls/jumps from a "Hightower", as well(So does Ashara Dayne/Quaithe??, for that matter). You were great on the Livestream the other day. Cheers!

@@KarlKarsnark thanks mate really appreciate that!

He didn’t fall from the broken tower he fell from the first keep, he was heading to the broken tower

@@eldric.stoneskin Did he? Lol I must have mixed up show and book again. 🤣

So your saying Brans not a Greenseer? How is he Greenseeing in ADWD then?

@@eldric.stoneskin The paste. Ritualistic cannibalism was part of First Man religious practices and what could be more holy than the initiation of a new deity joining the ranks of the Old Gods; note not each of the Old Gods were Greenseers in life or, at least, most weren't naturally so. Jojen disappeared from the story after reaching the cave, Bran's best friend and guide. Upon seeing Bloodraven, Jojen had looked pained and conflicted; maybe even sad. Bran couldn't tell what it was, having inherited the same trait as his mother and sister Sansa: if it doesn't directly involve him and his views, he ignores it. But hey, he's maybe eight or nine at this point so immmature thinking can be expected; they have no such excuses. No power is gained without sacrifice, be it one you chose or a decision you did not realize you were making. Jojen as Bran's best friend, loyal bannerman, and a Green Seer would be an ideal sacrifice, given his sickly nature and low life expectancy he's unlikely to survive the winter even without the Others so he is more likely to be a willing sacrifice, if unhappy, which should empower the effects. Notice, Bran doesn't Green Dream prior to the cave. He has prophetic dreams, innaccurate and confusing ones but nothing like what Bloodraven describes or after the Weirwood paste, but has no where near the abilities Bran the Builder or Jojen had at similar ages. Also, it is really weird that the protective older sister isn't questioning her sickly little brothers absence or even commenting on it, suggesting either a state of stupification or she knew beforehand what would happen. Months, maybe even years went by while Bran was tripping yet he only mentions Hodor, Bloodraven, and Meera. Also, Leaf is not friendly. She isn't welcoming. Or hopeful. Not concerned by Bran or for him. Just kind of a coldly amused. The Children's eyes are consistent with nocturnal and underground predators, so a Long Night wouldn't be nearly as dangerous with their caverns and eyesight. Their teeth are sharp, as well. They aren't the semi-vegetarian, noble, and sympathetic elves of LOTR, but predators, predators that have lured one of the few remaining scions of House Stark far beyond the Wall into a location controlled entirely by them, far from help with no hope of escape: tell me that isn't sketchy as all Hell.

@@eldric.stoneskin Remember, the Crow visited Euron Greyjoy (someone not even Bloodraven would tolerate, let alone empower) as a child, yet Euron has one blue eye and one red eye he keeps covered. If it were natural, he would not have to hide the red eye from others. Euron dreamed the same type of dreams as Bran, that implies maybe the dreams themselves are artificially constructed or something you are summoned into. There were countless other dreamers that died or worse due to the Three Eyed Crow yet he kept visiting children, sick children, cripped children, abused children, etc. He might be ruthless at times, even mostrous when necessary but thousands of children, one at a time over and over? I don't think even Brynden Rivers could keep that up for long, especially doing this to kids who he KNOWS wouldn't fit any histoical context or prophetic vision describing the Last Hero, Promised Prince/Princess, Azor Ahai, or Brandon the Builder such as Jojen and Euron; neither fit the molds, yet they clearly flew when prompted (something a trained Greenseer would've foreseen) so there was purpose other than a Heroic Role. Jojen led Bran to the Cave and likely died for it, but what is the only other person that was contacted by the T.E.C.? Euron is a madman intent upon becoming Cthulu with knowledge of magic, blood sacrifices, and breaking the world to do so, having no respect for anyone or anything (from kinslaying to blasphemy) and is cruel for the sake of fun. What manner of creature would choose such person as an agent or student? Also, this happened in dreams. Melisandre warns sleep is the purvey of the Great Other and believes Bran is an agent of the Great Other when she sees him in her own visions.

1. You are right to distinguish between the 3-eyed-crow and Bloodraven in my opinion too. His reaction is too off to being called the 3-eyed-crow. (Earlier, I used to wonder if crows and ravens have different symbolisms, but I cannot find evidence of that in real world mythology. So now I think it's just characters' personal preferences in terms of their emblems and sigils. Because of his house, Bloodraven's bird-shaped-birthmark would be interpreted as a raven, and so is a blood raven. Euron for some reason favoured crows.) In any case, if being the 3EC is a title and every next holder becomes enmeshed with all the previous ones, then perhaps it is the first 3EC, who I believe might be Brandon I who is doing all the visiting. That's how he could have such a large body count. He has been doing this since the last long night. (Bloodraven isn't because he did not understand himself as that. For him raven is obviously more closely associated to his lineage and greenseeing while crow is his stint in the Night's Watch. Maybe he thought he was visited by a raven, and maybe that is the shape taken when he was initiated. Or maybe he somehow skipped the process altogether.) You raise so many interesting points about it needing Bran's permission and all! Perhaps there being no Stark at Winterfell would indeed have magical consequences. And also your point about the eyes is compelling. But I just have one counterargument: even among the Marsh people, green or red eyes occur only with a minority. So I can see how that would not be considered representative of the people in general.

I’ve read the first book a long time ago and really enjoyed it yeah, need to finish the series one day

@eldric.stoneskin you are in for a real treat then. Wait until you notice all the ASoIaF inspirations throughout the absolutely epic series. It gets so much better than The Dreaming City. Check out "Elric: While The Gods Laugh" and then let me know what you think. EPIC.

Yeah your exactly right, I personally think the Three Eyed Crow is an ancient stark who discovered immortality through the trees through bodysnatching, kinslaying, not observing guest right, and other abominations, I’m going to make a video on this one day

@@eldric.stoneskin don't forget the quasi cannibalism.

@@Loreweavver very true

​@@eldric.stoneskin So sort of like a Euron Greyjoy of those times? And perhaps that's why Euron is doing such things today? Though he seems to be bent on doing on all religions' sacrilege simultaneously.

Glad you like them!

Exactly 👍👍 Kings landing is also symbolic for an old tree infested with rats. And I think Ned is feeding blood to the warg/stone/night kings via that black tree stump where he uses Ice to behead people by the dozen.

Love this.

I’m yet to finish it (but don’t care about spoilers) I’ve noticed so far there’s a large black dragon named “Bayle the Dread” which sounds exactly like “Balerion the Black Dread” And the Scadutree is interesting because “scadu” in Old English means Shadow or Shade, giving us a Shade Tree like the Shade of the Evening trees Also it seems like a rewrite to me that Miquella resurrected Radhan and not Godwyn (I saw spoilers) as there was so much foreshadowing for it to be Godwyn, although I have found another of his “faces” in a burial catacomb so not sure what that means yet

@@eldric.stoneskin I also wish it was Godwyn, but I don't think it was a retcon because of a reveal in one of the item descriptions that solves a very old mystery from trailers

It’s never said that he was no, but the Ironborn do go through a drowning ritual where they get very close to death, so perhaps this was the trigger? Only speculating tho

@@eldric.stoneskin thank you for the response. The drowning ceremony would make a lot of sense for Euron’s awakening. Fantastic video as always!!

@@soccrstar4you’re welcome!

It's at least probable that he was incapacitated somehow, since he is conversing with a maester. This could be a regular class, or maybe the maester was caring for him as he needed medical attention.

I do believe that Euron was recruited by The Three Eyed Crow as well. Somehow though, he was also recruited by The Great Other(whatever?) And chose that.

Cheers 💀🍻

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate 🍻

Yeah there a lot of dragon symbolism around the crypts, and I think it suggests the idea of Azor Ahai being behind the collapsed wall at the bottom of the crypts waiting to be reborn

Cheers! Glad you liked it! 💀🍻

@@eldric.stoneskin Your vids are top tier brother. You've really carved out a healthy place in the community in a really short time. Most impressive.

Yeah the symbolic hammer of lightning is really interesting, I’m glad you liked the series! Thanks heaps for watching! 💀🍻
