Opening post by Lord Beric Cerwyn · #1
This will not help anybody take a seat, and I am posting it anyway. Winter nights are long and the board is quiet.
Strip the songs away and it comes to this: whether Bran sees the past or changes it. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.
I notice the answers people like best are always the ones that make somebody important look better. That is not proof of anything, but it is a pattern.
It matters less than the harvest, and I will still be arguing about it at midwinter.
