Opening post by Lord Halys Redfort · #1
This will not help anybody take a seat, and I am posting it anyway. Winter nights are long and the board is quiet.
The question, put plainly: who Jon Snow's mother really was. My maester has a theory. My maester has fourteen theories.
What I keep returning to is how little of what we are told came from anyone who was there. It is all copies of copies, and each copy had a lord paying for the ink.
I expect to die not knowing, and I have made my peace with it.
