Goes right in line with my re-read - bran and the gang are at the Nightfort currently.<br /><br />One squabble over a nerdy detail - and I could be wrong - but in my current re-read, Im fairly certain Deep Lake was built as a smaller, cheaper replacement for the Nightfort and was paid for by the Queen. That same Queen is who the Watch renamed Snowgate to Queensgate for - it was an already existing castle, just renamed in her honorDave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04011762238019759340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-39153618272535994492013-04-09T12:42:38.300+02:002013-04-09T12:42:38.300+02:00I was wondering about this the other day when I wa...I was wondering about this the other day when I was re-reading Jon's AGoT chapters. Maester Aemon was talking about Harren's brother having 10,000 swords at his command when Aegon I immolated Harrenhal and it just seemed amazingly high compared to the less than a thousand figure we've been given for recent times, 300 years later.<br /><br />Raymun Redbeard was the most recent King Beyond the Wall and his march south was around the ~first Blackfyre Rebellion, I think. Although, the Watch missed the main battle and were ordered to clear up by Artos the Implacable but I'm sure they had to face some retreating raiders as they made their way back toward the Wall. So I'm not sure they suffered many losses at all.<br /><br />Love the blog, dude. Keep up the good work.<br /><br />KCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-78615931815800943812013-04-09T11:07:23.387+02:002013-04-09T11:07:23.387+02:00Very good analysis, sounds fully convincing to me ...Very good analysis, sounds fully convincing to me and gives some much-needed background - if only we could read book 6 now!slowcarhttp://spielersofa.denoreply@blogger.com
