How the lineage will be revealed


My brother has a theory that John will be flamed by one of the dragons but not die, thus revealing his Targaryen background. Other thoughts?

reply

Bran, Howland Reed or that super spooky Red Priestess Kinvara could also reveal it.

reply

Nope, nope, nope. I want the possibility revealed to Danny/Tyrion/Davos etc WITHOUT anyone around who can provide a full explanation. Let 'em wonder for a while.

Jon isn't fireproof like Dany is, remember back in season 1 when a corpse came to life in Castle Black and he set it on fire and his hand got burned?

reply

Oh, crap.

reply

Of course, that's before he was resurrected by the fire god...

reply

Ooh. That's a good point. But is Beric fire-proof? Or any of the Red Priests/Priestesses?

reply

Beric doesn't seem to be anything-proof, every time he comes back to life he's got the scars from the last time he was killed. So who knows about Jon, maybe his flamatory status changed when he came back to life but who knows, Melisandre didn't seem to know what she was doing or to have much control over the process.

As to Mel herself, who knows. There was an incident in the book where she shared a cup of poisoned wine with someone who was trying to save Stannis from her influence, and the poisoner died and she was totally unharmed. She seems to be able to use magic to protect herself, but we don't know what her limits are.

😂 Sorry, that made me giggle. You're right, though. He does manage to get himself killed quite a bit.

Melisandre is special, I think. We know her necklace has magic properties at the very least (glamour and poison-repellant).
