My Latest Crackpot Theory- Howland Reed

I would back this up with more details, but it has been a while since I've read the ASOIAF books, and I've only got a translation of the latest one on my shelf.

Really???

Children of the Forest Question

Children of the forest

Who is Coldhands?

Horn of Winter or a horn of the Children of the Forest?

Who is the three eyed crow?

About Bran (Spoilers)

Theory: Coldhands=Benjen Stark, Three-eyed Crow = Brynden BloodRaven Rivers

Benjen Stark-Coldhand's

Starks as Wargs [possible spoilers]

Benjen as the Three Eyed Crow?

martin, magic

Bran's Warg status...

and for fun:

Crazy theory about Hodor,Nan,Bran,And the children of the forest

Meera told the story of how Howland met the Stark pack. Brandon, the fierce wolf. Eddard, the quiet wolf. Benjen, the wolf pup. And the girl... the Queen of Love and Beauty... the girl who took Howland's cause as her own... the girl who physically protected the smaller Howland, just like Meera protects the smaller Jojen...

Are you trying to tell me that Meera... is actually Lyanna Stark?!?!

Warging is not unknown to Starks. Warging (or understanding dragons) is not unknown to Targaryens. Is this how Lyanna and Rhaegar understood each other?

Isn't it quite possible then that Jojen is Benjen. The brother and sister protector thing fits. Howland could easily be the 3 eyed crow. Cold hands could be non important or some oddball character.

Imp, let me start off by saying that I love this theory. I do not think it's correct, but I love it.

However, it made me think of something. What if the Crannogmen are not reincarnations of the Children of the Forest or something, but rather halfbreeds? It's obvious that they are far closer to nature than others. Perhaps they interbred and the Crannogmen are the last remainders?

Also, I do not think that we should take "little grandfather" at anything more than face value.

Syphon, long time, no see. You've summed up how I feel about all theories that I don't agree with.... I still love 'em.

I kinda like but but...

How about they aren't crannogmen but in fact children of the forest pretending to be Howland's get? Only the Crannogs are small enough to pass as Children so they pose as Reeds to get close to Bran and whisk him away North, little Grandfather could be homage to the gods?

In related news, Eddard and Edmure - one and the same.

In other news, I believe Tyrion is the reincarnation of Baelor the Blessed. He just doesn't want to be known as the boring "Tyrion the Blessed" so he's just whoring it up!

Lover and brother. Where have we seen that before?

Also, Imp, "crackpotty" should be trademarked!
