You could always bring back Ethan, or even Lord Gregor, since he didn't even know anyone had died when he said it (and told Gared to tell no one, maybe because "I'm the one coming back ya bastard, don't tell anyone about this, lest they bring back someone else")
TTG probably doesn't even know. He will literally get there and we won't see it with our own eyes. Just his reaction, pulling a Pulp Fiction briefcase. They couldn't even properly render Gryff's mutilated face. I don't expect much.
What if the North Grove is not a way to save our home, but another home for us to live in (even if for just some weeks), filled with Forrester magic and etc? Remember, we Forresters have a "way" to burn Ironwood, while the Whitehills don't, so what else can we do? What with we find a library filled with creepy ass secrets, or maps of secret tunels leading directly into Ludds chambers?
Yeah, I have no idea what the end game is with the North Grove shit.
Say they find it, which presumably they will. Like, they have to rig… moreht? What then? They just stand there like "hey, this is great!" then what? I don't see the end game to it, or how exactly it's meant to help the Forresters in the immediate future. I mean it has to be in the immediate future because their distant future is looking pretty fucked. How is this helping? Is it just for some cool snazzy super ironwood 5000 or something?
Like imagine that.
Gared running back in to Ironrath. "I FOUND IT! I FOUND THE NORTH GROVE!"
"For real? Shit, that's great, Gared, what's it do? Maybe we can win this war after all!"
"Yeah, there's a whole bunch of wood there!"
"Nice! What else though, come on Gared, don't hold back the details!"
"Like, a shit ton of wood."
"Yeah, but what else?"
"Yeah, I mean... that's it. Just loads of wood."
"..."

"Man, … [view original content]
It's never said, but when Duncan gives Gared the map to the North Grove there is writing in the top right corner that says:
"The North Gr… moreove... beneath the watchful eye of the Ice Dragon"
There are multiple references to the Ice Dragon constellation in the books. When Bran is beyond the Wall he seeks out the Ice Dragon constellation. The Ice Dragon's eyes point North, while its tail points South.
I think this is unlikely due to the growing threat of the WW's, if hardhome couldn't survive an attack, the North grove with much fewer inhabitants most likely won't
What if the North Grove is not a way to save our home, but another home for us to live in (even if for just some weeks), filled with Forrest… moreer magic and etc? Remember, we Forresters have a "way" to burn Ironwood, while the Whitehills don't, so what else can we do? What with we find a library filled with creepy ass secrets, or maps of secret tunels leading directly into Ludds chambers?
Could be anything, really.
I am starting to wonder what is the secret of the North Grove. In the beginning, I thought it was a secret stash of Ironwood, but what good can it do in the Forrester's war against the Whitehills? There has to be something more than just Ironwood.
It worries me that, according to Lord Gregor's last word, the North Grove CAN be lost. Yet Sylvi tells us that it's a safe place, from winter and things creeping up north, spiders, the others, wights and whatnot.
So the North Grove can be lost to WHAT? The Whitehills? If that was Gregor's concern, he would have taken the secret to his grave.
Plus, surely something that can be lost cannot possibly be so tide-changing in the upcoming war, can it?
Of course, this is all based on the loose interpretation of "The North Grove must never be lost".

Oh God, Telltale, please don't effing end this season with a cliffhanger of Gared getting to the Grove.
Like, he gets there, the camera z… moreooms in on his face being all "Whooaaaaa" and the screen cuts black. We don't even get to see what it is.
The terrifying thing is that I can imagine them doing this
I think it will just be something simple, like a nice warm place where the ironwood trees came from. And even after the Whitehills wipe out all the ironwood in the north, they can still regrow the forest using stuff from the north grove. That's probably the actual meaning of "iron from ice", the ironwood originated from north of the wall.

I bet the writers don't even know themselves, kind of like the whole traitor scenario "We'll come up with an answer when we get to it"
Oh… more. If Royland is your sentinel,, then the North Grove holds a ton of treaties and diplomatic items
If Duncan is your sentinel then the North Grove holds a super powerful weapon that only a level 100 hardened Warrior can wield.
"Hope who ever the sentinel is can use these!"
This is my theory, too. The Forrester exists in the first place because of the Ironwood. Gregor knew before dying that his house would be in a dire place. He also knew seeds for iron trees can be found in the North Grove.
Episode 6 will see house Forrester lose the war, with determinant brother dying. When all will seem lost, Gared will come back and resurrect the house by planting another forest of iron trees somewhere else. Season 2 will be plotting revenche+managing your new forest.

Gared will arrive to discover Malcom. It's revealed he found the North Grove years ago and it's the source of his teleportation powers.
Actually it's not. GoT isn't shipping them.
It can't be anything too special. It's probably the source of ironwood. Gregor might have known the House and their holdings were doomed.
The Ice Dragon's eye/ eyes are the Westerosi version of the North Star.... oh wait Tyler beat me to it.
It is. Rodrik already f*cked Elaena. That's one of the few reasons I kept him.
.
If it's what saves the house surely it must be more
I'm glad I have
Thank you for your thoughts

It would be cool if the "north grove" is where Bran and Hodor are.

Remember, we Forresters have a "way" to burn Ironwood, while the Whitehills don't, so what else can we do?

Not Gared and Sylvi. That's all on disturbing people in our reality.
I think saving the House as many see it is a misconception. It may just be meant to restore the ironwood after the Whitehills have plundered it.
The episode is called ice dragon,the north grove is in the north,the ice dragon is in the north...can you see the endgame now?
That is what i thought! would be interesting to see how telltale portrayed it
Keep the awesome ideas coming
The have a multi-year, multi-title deal with HBO.
Maybe it's a Vault? Gared is probably the Stranger.
Thank you

Doesn't matter. Had sex.
Edited the initial post
I think Talia will become like Arya, and mostly going on to kill the people who need killing.
Edit: wrong thread.
This has become my favorite GIF.

Yeah exactly

Don't give them ideas!

Wow, nice point. Iron from Ice makes sense in that way.

I also think that perhaps the writers did not know what it would be in the earlier episodes.
Never speak of the Devil, fool.

Are you sure it isn't the source of the healing power the Whitehills' measter has ?
