ASOIAF #6: The Great Northern Conspiracy
Aug. 12th, 2013 12:47 pm
I was going to save this one for later, because it's super meaty, but it's the hot topic on the forums last night/today, so I figure, what the hell.
I'm talking about The Great Northern Conspiracy.
Have you heard of it? Do you know what it is? It's a hell of a theory (originally posted by Apple Martini in December 2012).
It started with a forum thread that's grown exponentially. I can't take reading forum threads that go on that long, but happily someone (Yeade) has distilled the theory down in essay form, so all the extraneous stuff is removed, while the most important points are covered. She's posted the essay to Tumblr in seven parts, but the font's small and light, and I wanted to read the whole thing in one sitting, so I put it into a Word doc. Be forewarned: It's 43 Word pages long. :)) I told you it's a hell of a theory. Lots of supporting quotes from the text.
For those of you who don't have the time or inclination to read a 43-page hypothesis, here's the tl;dr version, though I highly rec reading the theory itself, which includes actual text proof points than I'm skipping in my summary version. ( The Great Northern Conspiracy summarized. )
