ASOIAF Theories: The Necromancers | Men Who Raise the Dead 

marwyn is actually the arch maester of the higher mysteries. they mockingly call him mage because of his interest in magic, though that isnt necessarily what the link, rod, and mask represent. magic is one of many higher mysteries to be sure, thus falling under its umbrella.

I swear: GoT never gives me chills until I hear one of these theory videos. I don't know if it's the voice or the images but something hovers over this channel and it gives me the heebiest of jeebies.

Mirri Maz Dur's spell didn't bring hatch the dragons. It was Dany, who likely was taught the spell by Quaithe in her dreams. Mirri was just a blood sacrifice in Dany's spell.

You consistently put out amazing content...Baffling that you're not over 100k subscribers yet. Keep up the good work!

Another top notch video. I love the fact that you aren’t shy to report on the darkest aspects of GOT. The darkest aspects are the most interesting to me. Well done.

Necromancy is also named in A World of Ice and Fire, as something that happens in the city of Nefer, in the far east of Essos

Quinn your readings are just fantastic ❤

I like the fact that to go forward you have to go back to the very beginning of the Bloodstone Emperor and church of starry wisdom from the shadowlands. A wonderful idea that Qyburn, Mirri and Marwyn may all be connected possibly fulfilling a prophecy. Mirri said she paid a great price possibly her own death to learn necromancy.

You need to be doing full book readings. You have a perfect voice for it. You could also be a voice artist for projects out of LA.

i think what mirri did to drogo is to make his body alive but without his soul. she probably knew how to properly bring people back from the dead but that wasn't her intention. she was angry with the dothraki and she basically killed their khal. she was just pretending to help dany but she was firm in her goal for revenge.

Too bad D&D didn't put him in Game of Thrones

You're my fav asoiaf related person

Seems more reasonable to say Martin used the character mentioned earlier in the books to serve a new role he made up for the books. Also, her learning from a maester makes it more reasonable to the reader that Daenerys would let her try and heal Drogo. Just because they met the archmaester and they all like magic doesnt mean it is reasonable to think they all practice it the same way.

IOIAF: I love your theories and your presentation, especially regarding the grand game and starry wisdom. I know you love Dune, but please keep these GRRM videos coming. Have you thought much about the Winds Of Winter sample chapters yet?

Wait - don't we already know from the supplemental materials that Asshai is technically IN the Shadowlands and that the Shadowlands typically refers to the dark lands outside of Asshai but on the same peninsula - including Stygai? It could be I'm getting my book lore and the stuff from the CK2 mod's suppositions mixed up.

Finally a channel with someone who knows what he's talking about and doesn't post a bunch of crap theories. Excellent work.

That's it, I'm reading the books again. You can miss so many things

Not to be confused with "The Men Who Stare at Goats" which are a strange group from Qohor.

I haven't commented in a long time! I've still been watching and liking your vids. I'm so ready for WINDS OF WINTER!!!📚You're one of a kind Quinn!!!💕😎🐺🐲❄🔥👍

How did Mirri pay dearly for the lesson from the necromancer? Did she pay with her life? And was Mirri resurrected,and by Dany burning Mirri it was her CERTAIN death?

Another great video. Keep up the good work

So curious to see if the "important men" that were present at the first meeting of Dany and Drogo at Drogo's manse in book 1 are ever revisited. I remember GRRM made a point to note that there were only men there, no women. I have wondered if Marwyn, qyburn or Euron were some of them.

Cool idea I was thinking it must be hard to keep coming up w new stuff for these well done hopefully you'll have more to work with soon

Interesting topic. I hope u guys finish the mists of Avalon topic too. Keep it up!

Another great videos Quinn. Do you have a video looking at the Shadow and Stygai? City of corpses, Heart of Darkness... makes me think it's maybe a parallel to the heart of winter and the others

Nice work as usual. I really hope we find out what these characters are up to before 2024 when the final book is released.

You are my go to on you tube ,need to read winds of winter.It's all good I'm getting my dune on.

Good job brother! Love it!

Keep up with this quality content.

Strongly disagree with this one. 1: Qyburn has been established as the kind of person who will not balk at social taboos or controversial pursuits. Since Marwyn is the archmaester assigned to/entrusted with the Valyrian steel mask (possible RL analogue: the foremost professor of occultism?), he may have been the ultimate overseer of Qyburn's studies in that field, just like someone in Maester Luwin's student days oversaw Luwin's efforts to earn a Valyrian steel link to his chain. Is there anything beyond this hierarchy (established in Game of of Thrones and Feast for Crows) that ties Qyburn and Marwyn in any way beyond this professor-student setup? Both are fascinated by the occult, yet Marwyn travels across the world while Qyburn stays in Westeros, serving as military surgeon to scum like the Brave Companions. Sounds like an acknowledged professional vs. exiled wanna-be. 2: Mirri Maz Duur was a physician/midwife/healer (you tell me what's the closest analogue for "godswife of the lamb people"). Some exotic western sage is willing to teach her about anatomy? Why wouldn't she take him up on the offer? She can learn more about curing people through such a shocking display. As for Drogo & the closing events of GoT.... She was someone who had EVERY reason to want revenge on an army of genocidal, slaving rapists. She had some knowledge of blood magic - possibly as an accepted part of being a "godswife" (aka. if one can't hack that part of the job, one will not be ordained/acknowledged as a godswife). If this is an accurate reading of the characer (and every line she ever featured in supports it: as a side character whose death was written by 1996, what have we heard of her that contradicts this?), she lied to Dany and took her vengeance with Daenerys' unwitting help. No necromancy or half-zombies, just a chance for a learned woman to "poison" the Dothraki version of Genghis Khan so that he would die stillborn, rather than do what Dothraki culture would celebrate him doing (aka. lead a horde of murderers to rape, kill, enslave, burn, destroy etc. for potentially an entire lifetime). Two different characters, both of whom have strong personal reasons for their actions. Marwyn is the more enigmatic one, the only one out of the three who's driven by a larger ambition/a more selfless awareness of larger events. And even that's mainly because we have only vanishingly few glimpses into his thought processes, compared to Mirri or Qyburn.

"Yes, daddy!" with those voices!

Really starting to miss your longer videos ...

Great job!

Great content

Asshai, consumed by Fire Valyria, consumed by Fire Harrenhal, consumed by Fire

Great video!!

It seems possible that Qyburn gave Jaime the dreamwine and then Marwyn used the glass candle to send Jaime the dream where Cersei abandons him and Brienne sticks by him. We know glass candles can send dreams.

I would like to point out that if you pronouce the "a" in Mirri's name as you would in "ace" then "Maz Duur" sounds like "maester".

i love your work!

U thunk you are right about Mirri Maz Duur being at the right place at the right time. Why else would a powerful sorcerer like her be in a small Milkmen town tempel serving as healer? (This argument i think i have from Preston Jacobs)

Excellent connections!

In Lovecraft and in GRRM, it's "Church of Starry Wisdom", not "Church of the Starry Wisdom". I know it really doesn't matter, just thought I'd mention it. Great video.

Love how your brain works. Blown away again.

Hell yeah, great content

well said, young maister

Upon first glance I thought the title said “micromanagers”

do you think melisandre is also a necromancer in the books who will bring back jon?

I want George to write a side story about Qyburns work in the Citadel.

When I first saw the thumbnail, I though it said "NEGROMANCERS" and I was like "Wow, this is gonna get demonetized REALLY quickly". :D

I read all of the books and I hardly even remember Marwyn.

thats a very hot thumbnail my dude, be careful with the fonts xD

I think Marwyn is a student of Kreia, look at the ripples he has made, but is he controlling them, or is he just someone else's ripple?

I love your voice. So imma subscribe.

I know you and The Order of the Green Hand work together. Have you heard their theory that The Church of the Stary Wisdom IS The Faith of the Seven?

👍

it was mirri's intent to turn drogo into what he became.

*the church of the starry wisdom is fucking everywhere*

and who's the most gifted necromancer out there? The Night King is the Bloodstone emperor and Marwin's thesis advisor. booooom

By glass candle do you mean a smart phone?

Marwyn will bring Jon back in the books

'Magey' Doesn't sound right

Are you going to review Castle Rock on Hulu?

Yes!!!

I know thi is off topic .Quinn you ever watch American God's and if you have what you think?

Theory glass candles are just old palantir's

LOL i initially read that font as "Negromancers".

Audio is too low

Magic cannot manipulate or make prophesy. Prophecy is the by product of time and destiny.

if she is in fact pregnant.... is it far fetched to say; he's attempting to "alter" the unborn child, into some form of undeath?

Deadman walking...

That's not the best font to write "NECROMANCER" *on all caps* on

Oh fck i dont speak english. But this videos must be cool

I thought the title said ‘Negromancer’

Yoo i thought it was Negromancers

Nice vids, the reading could use a lot of improvement tho or just do it normally so it wont be cringy.

Aaaaaaaaand first

They made a boring movie. That's what went wrong. It was boring and kind of Robocopish with out the irony.

The content of your channel is amazing I appreciate a lot what you do here, but could you, please, stop reading characters' lines with that always same idiotic intonation?

See, that ONE SCENE made me quit on GRRMs books. He STILL hasn't moved his GD ice zombies south of the Wall, but he is throwing in 50 MORE subplots into a series which has far too many subplots? Maybe if he only had to write for his core characters, he'd go a bit faster in his writing. So I don't give a damn about Marwyn. I hate Marwyn. His inclusion into the series is a woeful mistake because the series is already overwritten.
