Eyron was a better cartographer than Gregor - plus he was out there for months locating the Grove so he would have come across other things. The map Gared had was likely the most direct route to the North Grove.
Rodrik was 7 when Thorren died, but Gregor probably made sure the two were far apart from each other most of the time. He probably knew Gregor's mother a lot better.
Also Rip that Maester with the piss-poor Frey hat. Read around a bit, and that would be the guy that got executed, right?
Fuckin' headsocks are the worst. Naturally a character who is scum would get the worst kind of headgear. And yeah, he was executed because he was the one who orchestrated the whole Karl-Whitehill-Greyscale-thing as part of Thorren Forrester's "undying legacy." As far as Rodrik & the other kids are concerned, though, the Maester just went missing one day or died of an illness or something - Gregor kept a lot of things secret as he didn't believe they should have to know about things like executions and such.
Royland, Duncan etc. would have known the truth, though. Maybe Elissa, but she can't really be trusted based on how often she went behind peoples' backs in canon.
What a shit.

I also learned that you are british.
Nestor was born in 219 AL to Lord and Lady Greyson. He grew up an angry young man, quick to throw himself into a fight which lent to a bond with Thorren Forrester, who was a like-minded individual.

You tell me
An amazing deduction here, man, no irony .D I would never have noticed, even though it's logical, given what we know about Nestor. That was impressive!
Here's a random Stormlands house I made overnight. They're linked to House Forrester through Lord Hardcastle's aunt, who was Thorren Forrester's first wife (and Genna Forrester's mother). I'll be adding them to the Wiki soon.

All I can say is that I really hope the flashbacks will las several more posts & maybe we get a look at, at least, one more thing from Forrester's past?) I'm enjoying this POV far more than I thought I would. Genna is a perfect cinnamon roll that the Forresters need to go pay a visit. I'm thousand percent sure if she remained at Ironrath, things would've still been just fine. But if she's happy wherever she is now, that'd be bloody great, bc this gal really deserves it.
And, although he didn't get any speaking lines, Gorden attracted my attention here. It seems like he was attached to Gregor at least a little, following him and all, but his asshole of a father had too much influence on him, so that he eventually strayed from his brother. I wonder how Gregor felt about his early death, since Gorden self-exiled after a quarrel with him, but later still fought for house Forrester to the end. I imagine it felt shitty enough, and maybe part of the reason why he didn't tell his children about him was some degree of guilt, for not looking out for his little brother, letting their father corrupt him and all? This seems like Gregor to me.
Another my headcanon-theory is that, maybe, while more sensible Genna & Gregor were close as siblings, Catrin & Gorden could have a similar bond? Both troublesome & exiled from the house, they are alike in a way. Maybe Catrin's exile worsened Gorden's behavior, along with obvious unhealthy family environment, him loosing the closest person he had?
Part 3.14
Duncan's lies (or half-truths) know no bounds.
This is the last post of the visions, but there may be more further down the line if people want them.
Yesterday I studied my Forrester family tree (it's ridiculous in size) and discovered that Rodrik/Talia/Ryon/etc are third cousins with Cregan/Britt/Taena/Grag/Boros/Colton Warrick etc. That makes them third cousins once removed with Torrhen's daughter, Roslin Snow. Also means Rodrik unknowingly saved his third cousin at that tavern wayyyy back in part 1.
Another fun fact is that Namond/Elaena/Lyarra/Kyra/etc Glenmore are all second cousins with Greta Bole, making them second cousins once removed with Karl Whitehill the Second O_O

Family trees of the asoiaf universe are the perfect representation of the word "insanity" even in canon :ь It's pretty hard to find highborn characters that aren't related in a way.

And Rodrik being a meanie by trying to suggest Gared would be a traitor. I will jump through the screen and put you through the wringer Rodrik! Don't think I won't!
Oh well, isn't this marvelous? After having his ass saved from getting killed by Gared, the guy has the nerve to bark this in his face with an accusing, self-righteous expression, as if he has any right to blame him for what happened :) What the fuck was I even expecting though. So very Rodrik of him. I really shouldn't have forgotten, that it's my Rod who at least tried to be a nice guy - the choice statistic pretty much confirms that most other people's one was one of my least favorite characters in the game. Gared, I highly expect you to not tolerate this bs, because you deserve better.
Aside from me venting, things are surely getting more and more interesting. I expected the squad to be heading to Ironrath, but now I'm genuinely curious about what the plan is going to be. I don't really have any good guesses, so I'll just have to wait & see.
GASP! After looking again I realized Rodrik was giving Gared a look when he talked about traitors. He best be not suggesting what I think he's suggesting!

Keep in mind at this point Rodrik's had very little sleep, he's just woken up from blood-loss-induced unconsciousness, he's just been told everything he thought he knew was a lie, he's heard his sister is dead, has no home left and all he has to go on is the idea of killing those who took his home from him so they can't do it to anyone else.
In his mind, Elissa is dead (confirmed), Mira is dead, Talia is dead, Ryon is dead, Elaena is dead and all the Whitehills are living happily ever after. He's like right on the verge of complete nervous breakdown. All he's got left is anger and hatred for those who took his home and family from him.

Part 3.10
Fun fact, Eyron Forrester is actually semi-canon (see here).
Here's his page on the S2AU wiki, too.
"The North Grove must never be Lost"
That's a big map.
Eyron was a better cartographer than Gregor - plus he was out there for months locating the Grove so he would have come across other things. The map Gared had was likely the most direct route to the North Grove.
Really cool that you created a character based on one line from Duncan, all the way back to episode 1.
Part 3.11
Thorren the Bold, indeed.
Oh my. Fuck that guy.
Did Rodrik ever meet Thorren?
Rodrik was 7 when Thorren died, but Gregor probably made sure the two were far apart from each other most of the time. He probably knew Gregor's mother a lot better.
What a shit.
Also Rip that Maester with the piss-poor Frey hat. Read around a bit, and that would be the guy that got executed, right?

What a prick
Is the armored up guy Nestor Greyson?
You tell me
I'm pretty confident
I actually went through the wiki trying to find an old guy that looked like him and found Nestor and read that exact description.
An amazing deduction here, man, no irony .D I would never have noticed, even though it's logical, given what we know about Nestor. That was impressive!
Part 3.12
Mira would be like... "tfw you look like an aunt you've never met."
I like her ^_^
Rodrik's reaction is great. "All right this is getting ridiculous now."
Here's a random Stormlands house I made overnight. They're linked to House Forrester through Lord Hardcastle's aunt, who was Thorren Forrester's first wife (and Genna Forrester's mother). I'll be adding them to the Wiki soon.
They're cool. I like them
I also really like that they chose to side with Renly Baratheon.
I think the Castellan is my favourite.
Part 3.13
I sympathise with Rodrik.
Why did I make this.
Oh my! XD
Too early indeed.
Everyone needs a wildling in their life.
Lmao
Oh, dear lord. This just reminds me of when Talia walked in on Rodrik and Eleana.
And that, kiddies, is why you always knock before entering.
It's sweet karma for Talia having to see Rodrik and Elaena up to their business, haha.
"What in all the gods of fire and fuck!" Too soon man, to soon.

I understood exactly half of those words! Yea! R.i.P

This is gonna sting.

This is gonna be good! I'm hoping Gared gets mad. At Rodrik, not at Duncan.
"Some pathetic attempt at peace with the Whitehills" That's Thorren's way of thinking.
GASP! After looking again I realized Rodrik was giving Gared a look when he talked about traitors. He best be not suggesting what I think he's suggesting!
Keep in mind at this point Rodrik's had very little sleep, he's just woken up from blood-loss-induced unconsciousness, he's just been told everything he thought he knew was a lie, he's heard his sister is dead, has no home left and all he has to go on is the idea of killing those who took his home from him so they can't do it to anyone else.

Gared's not taking any shit any more - this isn't the Gared we saw letting Bowen's insults slide : ]
Niccee, I always thought little Garbear needed to stop taking so much shit.
Oh shit! Rodrik's telling Gared the fate of his uncle! Things are about to get ugly, I can tell.
