Well, that was extremely easy . Of course, Mother of Dragons was dead give-away. Here's some that you have both missed, and would have made it hard for you if I asked for all six.

Wife of some Fossoway: pregnant woman at Joffrey's wedding feast, happily married, meant to show difference between Tyrion's marriage with Sansa and those of happily married people.

Ferny: The reason the man who was not innkeeper didn't attack Jaime, Brienne and Ser Clyos Frey was the fact Sharna, his wife, was helping Ferny give birth to Anguy's or Tom O' Seven's child.

Pregnant woman Brienne, Pod and Merribold met at some mud-village. Part of three collection; maiden, mother and crone.

Mellisandre counts and so does Mirri Maz Durr: both gave birth to terrors of the night.

Robb's Jayne and Lienna do not count though. Jayne never got pregnant thanks to her mother's fertility potion... err poison and Lienna was never described as pregnant, there are only hints and hunches.



Your turn Imp!

Fully explain The Gift

[Ghost of Harrenhal]

I'm pretty sure Brandon the Builder gifted part of the North (Brandon's Gift) to the Night's Watch on completion of the Wall. Then I believe that during King Jaeherys' (spelling?) reign, he made a royal visit to the Wall and took his wife with him, who was so impressed by the Watch that she gave them the New Gift.

Pretty sure that's why there is a Queensgate castle along the Wall and why the village of Queenscrown exists.

Can't remember the name of the queen but I have a feeling she is from Dorne and not a Targaryen by birth?

I would have liked to have seen how big the original Gift was (25 leagues) and how much it was increased (another 25), but yours was a pretty full explaination, so you're up

[Ghost of Harrenhal]

I yield the floor as I only have A Game of Thrones with me at university and I can't think of anything without sources that hasn't been asked already.

[The Imp]

I'd prefer that someone who never gets a chance tgo do these puts one up, but if there's nothing by tonight I'll add something.

[TPA]

Name the sights that Sam Tarley saw on the island of Skagos during his trip across the narrow sea. I have to admit that I can't remember them myself.

[TPA]

Not a memorable event I'll have to admit, but that is what makes the question a tough one.

Here is a teeny tiny, iddy biddy hint

Page 223

[The Imp]

The wreckage of a galley?

[TPA]

correct!

[The Imp]

This will probably be way too easy, but the football game (Giants) starts fairly soon.

Name the tavern where Brienne was to meet Nimble Dick

[TPA]

yep, way too easy...

[The Imp]

I'm hoping a non-regular knows it and posts one.

[Eulalia]

Well Imp, I'm irregular, does that count? How about the Stinking Goose?

You seem pretty regular to me and you're up
