Opening post by Lord Halys Redfort · #1
Every few years somebody swears they have the answer to this, and every few years it turns out they had a story instead.
Strip the songs away and it comes to this: what the Others actually want, if they want anything. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.
The thing that unsettles me is that the people best placed to know went to considerable trouble to leave no record. Men do not do that over nothing.
Say I am wrong, if you think so. Somebody usually does.
