Hello everyone.
I am back with another crazy theory of mine.
Do you remember the scene where Tyrion says that he will give "Harrenhal" to Little
Finger and he says that "It is cursed."
This curse prevents any lord from holding Harrenhal indefinitely.
We know that's true because it has been proven again & again over the years.
Ever since Harren the Black built Harrenhal, many houses like Qoherys, Harroway, Towers,
Strong, Lothston, Whent, Lannister, the Mountain, Bolton etc. have taken over Harrenhal.
NONE of them had been able to hold it for long.
LF also avoided taking a seat at Harrenhal.
I'll read a couple of lines from the books between Sansa and LF in short.
"Joffery gave you Harrenhal.
You are lord in your own right there."
"What a castle it is.
Cavernous halls and ruined towers, ghosts and draughts, ruinous to heat, impossible
to garrison.. and there's that small matter of a curse."
"Curses are only in songs and stories."
"Has someone made a song about Gregor Clegane dying of a poisoned spear thrust?
Or about the sellsword before him, whose limbs Ser Gregor removed a joint at a time?
That one took the castle from ser Amory Lorch, who received it from Lord Tywin.
A bear killed one, your dwarf the other.
Lady Whent has died as well, I hear.
Lothstons, Strongs, Harroways..
Harrenhal has withered every hand to touch it."
As you can see, even LF was scared of the curse.
Did you ever wonder WHO put that curse on Harrenhal?
I have a theory about it.
Unlike my other theories, where I reveal my crazy theory in the end, I'll reveal it
right here because I want you to know where my thoughts are going when I explain my theory.
You might remember how in my Stark Blood video, I compared the magic in the walls of Winterfell
and said that it was similar to the curse of Harrenhal?
Yes, You guessed it right.
I think the green men (or the children of the forest) who are living in the Isle of
faces were the ones who put that curse on Harrenhal.
We know they are still alive because Ser Addam Velaryon and Howland Reed had met them.
I'll post my theory for why Howland Reed went to see the Green Men next week.
I'll also post a top 10 video soon.
Make sure to subscribe my channel, and click on the bell next to it, so that you won't
miss it.
Anyways, to understand THIS theory completely, we need take a look at Harrenhal and the riverland's
history.
At first, I thought the curse was cast when Harrenhal was built, because NO ONE has been
able to hold it since it was made.
I thought they cast the curse because along with the reason that the children wanted to
stay hidden in the Isle of Faces, they were also mad because King Harren had cut down
thousands of years old weirwoods to use in his castle.
The pact signed at the Isle of faces also involved that the first men won't cut down
the weirwood trees any more than they already had.
But then when I started looking into it.
I found out that it goes ALL the way back to the Andals.
Harren Hoare or Harren The Black had built Harrenhal on the North Shore of the God's
Eye Lake.
Harren's grandfather Harwyn Hoare was the King of the Iron islands who took the riverlands
from Arrec Durrandon.
Arrec was the last Storm King to rule the riverlands, which was conquered by his ancestor
Arlan Durrandon III, who in turn had taken it from "House Teague."
Before that, house Justman was founded right after the Andals had invaded westeros and
had ruled as the king of the Tridents.
So you can see this pattern didn't just start with Harrenhal.
It went all the way back TILL the Andal's invasion.
But not before it.
So, here's my theory.
After the signing of the pact in the Isle of faces, where the first men and the Children
decided to live peacefully, the order of the green men were created.
According to the pact, the children retained the standing forests and the first men got
the open lands like the coastland, high plains, bright meadows, mountains and boggs etc.
The order of the green men were appointed to keep the isle of the faces safe after the
signing of the pact.
The signing of the Pact marked the end of the Dawn Age and the beginning of the Age
of Heroes.
It marked 4000 years of friendship between the men and the children.
The Pact endured all through the Age of heroes, and the long Night, and the birth of the seven
kingdoms until the Andal invasion.
When the Andals invaded westeros, they burnt out the weirwood groves, hacked down the faces
and slaughtered the children of the forest that they came across.
Everywhere they proclaimed the triumph of the Seven over the old gods.
A hill, now known to the Westerosi as High Heart, was sacred to the children of the forest.
There, the Andal king Erreg the Kinslayer cut down the children's grove of thirty-one
weirwoods.
It is said that the First Men killed half of the children of the forest with bronze
blades, and the Andals finished the job with iron.
So, you can see why the green men living in the Isle of Faces must have felt afraid by
the Andals?
Why they could have felt like they needed to take drastic steps to keep those people
from coming to the isle of faces & doing the same to them?
In order to prevent this from happening to them, I believe they not only cursed Harrenhal,
where the heart tree's face is full of hatred, but they also cursed or put some kind of magic
spell all around the God's eye.
The surroundings of God's eye seemed to have seen many bloody battles, like the Battle
by the Lakeshore, Butcher's Ball, Daemon Targaryen and Aemond's battle above the
God's eye during the Dance of the Dragons, where both the dragons and the dragonriders
had died.
A lot of people died in ALL these battles.
They always seemed occupied with something and didn't have time to even think of going
to the Isle of faces.
In the Mystery Knight of the Dunk and Egg series, Ned the Ferryman didn't like crossing
the lake at night.
The town near God's eye Whitewall was also destroyed.
The town on the southern shore where Yoren had decided to stay the night and to cross
the Gods eye next day to Harrentown was burned down by Amory Lorch and his men.
That was where Arya had saved Jaqen's life.
The curse on Harrenhal was definitely the worse but the magic around the shore of the
Gods eye wasn't that strong because Ser Duncan the Tall HAD crossed God's eye before.
Ser Addam velaryon had flown to the Isle of Faces to seek council from the green men during
the Dance of Dragons.
And Howland Reed had went to meet them and had stayed with them through the winter before
going to the Tourney of Harrenhal.
When I was re-reading COK, and I found a lot more evidences, which proved my Stark blood
theory.
I'll explain them in my Howland Reed video.
Someone said that the wolves had grown bolder than ever around the God's eye.
It'd make sense if there are still children or even the direwolves living in the isle
of Faces.
May be Nymeria can sense them and that made her bolder?
What do you think about Harrenhal's curse?
Do you think it's real or is it just a wetnurse tales to scare children?
And if it's real, who do you think cursed Harrenhal?
And does this mean that LF's days are numbered?
It's time for the #CrazyTheory shout out.
I have to say I was surprised by so many awesome theories and it was really hard to pick one.
So, I'll give shout out to 2 theories.
I also loved a theory on which I'll make a separate video soon.
So, the first goes to Jesse Johnson, who said this about the statues in the crypts of Winterfell,
" The Sword bare across their laps is them denying guest rights.
That's what that means to meet or be met a lord who has his sword bare across his lap
like Robb and Tyrion when he stopped by on his way from the wall."
May be Bran the Builder did hide something there and only a Stark is welcomed in the
crypts.
That's why the non Starks feel uneasy in the crypts.
You can read his whole theory in the Jaqen h'gar video's comments.
I really loved his theory.
The second theory I'd like to give a shout out to is by Sean Killackey, who said, "May
be Little Finger did bring Jaqen H'gar to King's Landing to discuss not only killing
but doing it in a way that would benefit Baratheon and Westeros.
So after Jaqen arrives in King's Landing, he poses as Syrio.
He meets Ned and becomes Arya's trainer.
He escapes Ser Meryn Trant and uses disguise to escape with Yoren."
So, these were the shoutouts for this week.
If you also have any crazy theories, use #CrazyTheory and then write your theory in the comments.
If you convinced me of your theory, I'll give it a shout out in my next video.
So, what do you think of these theories, don't forget to tell us in the comments.
