Thanks. I realized I never saw one get bumped. Just this one. I mean, I could have searched myself, but I didn’t even know if it was worth doing, like if you all remembered off the tops of your heads. My least favorite part of doing a re-read is having my curiosity piqued and knowing I won’t get answers for months, if not years. (The upcoming Fire And Blood book might answer a few questions, like what happened to Aegon I’s wife in Dorne but not like… who poisoned the locusts.) ---

In GoT men were REAL men and giant zombie ice spiders were REAL giant zombie ice spiders. But they’re selling these goblets to namby pamby present day nerds who will sue. So do the goblets come with a disclaimer about “Not to be drunk from”?
