The Telltales Game of Thrones Theory Thread
Hello everyone. If you've ever been a SOIAF or GOT fan you probably know the funnest activity the fandom usualy takes part in. Theories. So i made this thread so people can share and disscuss theories of their own with other members of the fandom. I will begin with a few of my own:
The Thirdborn Son
This theory states that Torrhen Whitehill (Thirdborn of Ludd Whitehill) will eventually kill or overpower the remaining whitehill. Torrhen is the Whitehill heir since his brother Ebbert (the secondborn) renuonced his herritage by working at the citadel to become a maester. Currently working for House Bolton he could easily comeback to take ironwrath by either declaring himself the future heir ( if Gryff is dead) or the true Lord (if Ludd is dead). It is possible he maybe worse than both his father and brother since he abbused Gryff when he was a kid and was reprimanded by Ludd. Those qualities could very well work to make him the next antagonist.
Morgryns Betrayal
This theory states that Lord Morgryn will eventually attempt ( and perhaps sucede) at betraying Ludd/Gryff and taking house whitehill. He has already tried (and determinantly almost suceded) taking over Ironrath by marrying Mira Forrester. But like Lord Baelish he may try to backstabb his way to power and House whitehill would be the most obvious second step. Another thing that backs this up is his enormous ego. The Whitehills openly excluded him from his deal and then came to him as a second option. It could be likely he would have a spy in the ranks for the whitehills or have already planned for a political move with another house.
The Secret of the North Grove
The North Grove is quite a mystery isn't it. It is an Ironwood grove beyond the wall filled with magical power that seems to emmanate from deep within itself. But where does this power come from? After a lot of consideration i have come to a bizzare but quite possible answer. There is a sleeping ice dragon under the grove.
Now before you denounce this theory immediately consider these facts.
Many SOIAF fans believe there are ice dragon asleep under the earth. Some believe Azor Ahai will bring them from their slumber or possibly that the horn of winter will release them. Possible locations for them or it include The Wall, Winterfell or Harhome.
Dragons are known to restore magic when near a person or area. This would explain why magic is so powerfull in the grove.
This would also explain why the white walkers would be so interasted in conquering or destroying it and why Lord Forrester prioritised his last words to ensure its protection even when he had entrusted his two magical bastards to make sure it was safe.
Well thats it for now. Looking forward to see what you guys have theorised.
Comments
I think Torrhen is a must have for season 2, he's the only other potential antagonist other than Ludd/Gryff and Morgryn.
If we're seeing Torrhen we will probably also be seeing Roose Bolton.
Really? I don't know, if Torrhen appeared I feel like it'd be by leaving Roose's service.
Yeah but do you think he'll kill or just over power Gryff/Ludd?
Me too.
Who knows, depends on what kind of person he is, I'm thinking he'll be similar to Tywin but not a carbon copy. Like he'll be calculating, ruthless and above all, pragmatic.
That sounds great.
Well if you killed Ludd he'd have a reason to come back.
Morgryn's got no right to Ironrath in my game, rather die than hand my life over to that loser.
And I left the North Grove so...
I think Morgryn will try to find an alternarive.
As for the North Grove.......well at least ironrath may be saved.
I think he would comeback if you killed Gryff too. With the whole "im the heir now" thing.
He is heir already. Gryff would be Torrhen´s heir.

I wonder if the whitehills will rename it.
I believe Vlad was pointing out that you misspelled Ironrath.
The only theories I care about now are the North Grove ones. While some small questions have been answered, we still don't know much about it. I just hope it's worth protecting, then again why would Gregor sent his bastards there and Gared if it wasn't important. It has to be more important than we know, than we realise.
Gregor said the future of the house depended on it, I fear that he said that so Gared was persuaded to go, there is nothing they could do there that would save the house.
Your theory seems plausible but waaay too ambitious. It has to be something more subtle. Elsera says that the North Grove gave her a gift, the ability to control the warriors... There's something special there but I cannot think what it is or how Gared has any part to play in it. Ironrath is lost, the North Grove can't help but there is something to protect and I can't wait to find out what.
Oh....sry
It probably has something to do with the great war between humans and the nights king thats been building up so far.
Talia is an alternative
I think both whitehills brothers will be in the next game. Torrhen will be an NPC and Ebbert will be the POV.
I wonder if that's where Gwynn is taking Asher
I mean if he failed to get Talla. He fully expected her to bow down and become his subservient wife. In fact he was so arrogant about it he blatantly told her she was going to become his slave and heirmaker robot. If she denied him he probably has a backup in the works.
To Ebbert? He doesn't seem to be a 'nice' guy from what we heard.
Let's just realize that he is no LF, so although we hope there's a backup plan.. I bet there isn't.
I think Mira was the backup plan. Because his main thing is that all the Forresters will die regardless and he will still control the ironwood trade with Ludd/Gryff
Isn't he the maester? Aren't all maesters nice?
Hahahaha........lets just say some 'members' have previously disproven that.
I think the whole Mira thing was his gambit for a big power move this early. He probably still has plans to make one bit it will probably take MUCH longer and depend on a LOT of work and effort.
Even if you agree to marry Morgryn, he technically still has 0 power over Ironrath because Rodrik/Asher are still alive. I think he was counting on the Whitehills to kill all of Mira's family, but what he doesn't know is that the lord of house Forester is still alive leaving his plan completely pointless. Now hes just stuck in a marriage with Mira lmao.
Everyone will probably assume Rodrik/Asher is dead.
Yeah as long as Asher/Rodrick is presumed dead Morgryn has a claim.
Don't forget about Ryon.
The Whitehills will claim hes dead to solidify the claim that house Forresters was wiped out.
That would have to tie with the books and as much as it would be cool I dont see that happening. Martin already knows what is gonna happen and now he´s just writing how is it gonna happen so that is intersting.
Except maester Luwin and Aemon I cant think of another "good" maester
But the conflict also takes place in the show universe were the game takes place in so its still VERY possible.
Im a game of thrones person not a asoiaf fan so I've only seen 3 maesters and they all did what they had to, in order to serve their house.
Yeah but even if they can change some characters´s arcs or cut out things they still need to follow the main story that is set by GRRM.
Yeah Luwin, Aemon and Ortenghryn.
They don't have to change anything. Just refrence it or something.
Rodrik/Asher will heal and come back to save the day (I hope), so Morgryn wont have Ironrath for long!
Or in true GOT/SOIAF fashion Asher/Rodrick will gain power, get new friends and enemies, get involved in conflics that have nothing to do with him, meet characters other Forrester pov's met before that you basically forgot existed and finally die seasons later for something that barely had anything to do with him never going back to Irorath or killing the remaing Whitehill.
But as i always say....Keep hope alive.
