Voting ends Friday

I think probably the greatest Kingsguard (when they represented something noble) would beat our man from Braavos.

Centurion · 18th December 2006, 05:01 PM

Alas, Syrio, i have forsaken you for the Sword of the Morning

Aegon the Unworthy · 18th December 2006, 05:02 PM

Yup, I have the sinking feeling Syrio is going to win, because he's Syrio....but this would be Arthur Dayne....maybe youve heard of him?

gigi · 18th December 2006, 07:32 PM

Ned said that Arthur Dayne was the best. Ned's word is law.

Scary how a guy no-one has ever "seen" fight in the books is heading towards the final - I want his publicist

Weasel Soup · 18th December 2006, 09:31 PM

Centurion, I had the same thought. But I'm consoled he made it to the final 4, unfortunately he drew the sword of the morning.

Edit: To TK: Kettleblacks in the kingsguard, hm they have depreciated significantly.

To WS: I suppose its true, but for some reason, when it comes to Arthur Dayne, "it is known".

Centurion · 19th December 2006, 02:00 AM

yea, thats the way of it WS.
Though its sad none has voted for poor Syrio.

While we haven't seen him fight we do know he was in the Tower of Joy, 7 vs 3 battle. He did okay in that fight.

Winters_Sorrow · 19th December 2006, 05:45 PM

Well he died in that fight. So not that well, obviously

I do remember a fight he survived & someone saw though. Wasn't one of Jaime's recollections about when Arthur Dayne took on (and killed) the Smiling Knight in single combat? He sounded pretty kick-ass in that fight - although that was a 16yr old boy completely in awe of him anyway.

I am going to have to borrow an argument that has already been used in the other bracket. It's Arthur Freakin Dayne!!!!! Thats right I used the same line for both of my posts, and it's not even my idea. I am so original.
