Winds of Winter Predictions: Euron, A Sea of Blood 

I think you all forgot something crucial when discussing Euron's intentions in Oldtown. It is the center of the faith of the seven, containing the Starry Sept and Most Devout. Aeron's released TWOW chapter has visions of Euron on the iron throne with countless gods dead and impaled on the blades. He is also gathering holy men for sacrifice. Smashing Westeros' equivalent of the Vatican seems very much in line with what we currently know of his character and goals. Think of the power such a sacrifice could grant. For a new God to rise the old must fall.

I’m so sad euron wasn’t in the show (hell yea top comment im the king now )

Now this is a proper villain, not that joke on the show

I have a feeling Euron is way more powerful than we think he is. That guy knows something we don't.

Lml.. Got good herbs I assume. Great stuff. It's Euron day. AltshiftX also dropped a Euron video.

I liked the interpretation of the Dragons, Krakens and Sphinx’ bowing down to Euron representing the Targaryens, Greyjoys and the Citadel. That makes a lot of sense!

To put it simply: Euron aspires to be akin to the Bloodstone Emperor of yore. And to top that off, Danaerys is already the known successor of that line, from one of her specific visions at the House of the Undying.

Sea of blood is going to be the most disturbing scene in the books i think

The ones im more hyped to see in the upcoming weeks are Stannis in the Battle of Ice and Littlefinger's Vale Masterplan

If Oldtown is to be the point where Kraken and Dragon meet, I'd point out that the great smells of blood and battle attracted Drogon to the fighting pits. I wonder if the smells of blood would cause the dragons to respond with an aggression that Euron didn't anticipate. I also don't think that the dragon horn will bind the dragons to Euron's will, Moqorro would totally interfere with that idea. I do love the Euron - Night King connection though!

If we assume that Bran wins the Game of Thrones then I think that Euron might be the final villian because he mirrors Bran in alot of ways.

Don't forget that Euron didn't want to attack Oldtown. He went south becouse of journey to slavers bay, to bring Daenerys and her dragons to Westeros. But than he sent Victarion there and was pushed to attack Arbor and Oldtown by other ironborn, that just wanted to raid and plunder. Attacking Oldtown was never his intention.

Oh hell yeah. Right after Alt Shift X made a video about this too! I wish you guys would make another Danerys video. LML mentioned that he think she dies during the war with the Others. I'd like to hear more about that. Anyway love your videos Quinn!

If and when George finishes the books, I have a high feeling that the world is going to be in Armageddon with Euron vs Stannis and Dany for not only the throne but for all humankind.

Euron from the books is so epic and threatening,compare and contrast with the character of finger-in-the-bum in the show.

So one of the things I remember them mentioning several times was that the tower of old town was so tall that you could see the wall from that. Now it’s clearly not physically tall enough to see the wall, but perhaps with a magic candle and a horn (1 of 2 there) could bring the wall down, and perhaps unintentionally...

I love this Quinn-LML collaborations. You two are my favorite ASOIAF content creators. Thanks.

Currently reading Clash of Kings for the first time I’m on the last few pages and I can’t wait to start reading about Euron

There's also a bank in old Town, that could find his magical endeavors. Also, overthrowing the maesters and/or the faith would be a huge help in showing his power to the rest of Westeros.

Two ways it could go are 1. Euron is calling to the nights queen. 2. A god is rising but it won't be him it will be the great other because what god was missing when the rest were impaled.

I feel like Euron knows very well what he is venturing. It is what has made him so crazy and dismissive of convention thus far. I would not be suprised if he remains a force to be rekoned with, bearing many secrets still into the last book.

If you think about Euron could have been responsible for reawakening the Others... He has the eye of the Bloodstone Emperor... Who some legends say caused the first long night... So maybe Euron found a way to caused it to happen again... 🤔🤔🤔

Quinn has the best voice for narrating, it’s really smooth I’m not sure how to describe it but I like it I like it a lot

An instantaneous LIKE. I know this will be another fabulous episode

I'm hoping that GRRM bunkers down and stays safe. The coronavirus gives him the perfect excuse to literally do nothing but finish these damn books already. Either that, or we won't get the last two books :'(

Tinfoil theory on Euron's gal pal: She's not really there. We see them laugh at the dwarfs, so we know they see the same thing, but we don't see them acknowledge one another. I think this woman could be using a glass candle to watch Euron. It could explain why she appears as a shadow w/fiery hands as opposed to a regular woman. The "alive" with pale white fire description could imply the candle is being actively used at that moment. Also, there's some similarities between the glass candle's description and the woman's. (Alleras nodded at the glass candle) "Sam stared at the strange pale flame for a moment, then blinked and looked away". "Pate knew about the glass candles, though he had never seen one burn...He had heard there were four; one was green and three were black, and all were tall and twisted". "Beside him stood a shadow in woman's form, long and tall and terrible, her hands alive with pale white fire..." As to her identity, I'd guess Sarella/Alleras, using a glass candle she takes before being forced to flee the Citadel due to Euron's attack on Oldtown. Sam might not be the only one to steal something before being forced to leave...Not to mention, a gc would be a convenient way to inform Marwyn as to what transpired with Euron, or just spy on Euron for Marwyn and Daenerys.

These dudes would read a random description about like Robb Starks wife’s hair that’s like one line long and be like “oh yeah symbolism” and figure out some way to connect it to strong belwas or some shit like that

You gotta include Gemma from secrets of the citadel😍😍💅🏾

It's really awesome that we can get still get great book content like this. There were book fans before the show and we are still here after the show.

I kinda got the feeling that Euron went to Oldtown because his followers were getting impatient with their lust for riches and he was worried they wouldn't have the patience for the long game of stealing dragons. But there's too much hype around oceans of blood next to a city that could contain nuclear-level game changing artifacts. I subscribe to the idea that first it's a trap for the Redwyne fleet to be devoured by summoned krakens, then Oldtown will get sacked but I don't know if it's for anything specific. Ironborn aren't likely to stay long regardless.

Really loved the video and seeing all three of you together! Great segment as always

I like connecting Euron to the Others. There are some interesting Parallels you could draw to how he commands the silence.

Great job! Truly a powerful trio you have become

The Euron plot is so interesting. Like what makes him think he can turn himself into a god. The only other character we’ve seen that is being set up to be “god-like” is bran and most of us believe he is being tricked somehow. So naturally that makes me wonder if someone is tricking Euron and that everything he is about to do to become this god will really benefit some unknown person. I think “an American thinks” had a theory a long time ago tldr it’s about the others being dead wargs both children and humans mostlike who either created a body or took a body to live in somehow. Maybe we have some body snatchers coming in the next book lol. Either way it’s dark, scary, and super cool can’t wait!

I've been loving this series! Thank you! It's interesting that Jorah called the Dothraki sea, when in bloom, "a sea of blood"

Seems plausible to me that Euron will do a lot of what the Night King did in the show.

Love all three of y’all o this video and thanks for all the info, been stoned and had to listen more then once and lived it more n more, thank you again

I’ve been waiting on a good series that makes TWOW predictions. Thank you so much for providing great content. You are talented

Love ya work guys! Great readings as always Quinn :)

Euron will become the true hero of the story. When all is said and done, Euron's actions will result in the salvation of the world. Which will amuse Euron.

Nice addition of Ba’al. Nice prediction guys. Looking forward to Eurons stuff for sure

I could listen to you 3 talk for HOURS. Love ALL of you

Euron is certainly an evil self aggrandizing maniac with an insane level of diabolical aspirations. Among many major issues with the show , the HBO series' portrayal of him was terrible all around & did not capture him at all ; honestly they would have been better off leaving him an oft rumored & whispered about off-screen character with no payoff , the lack of follow through similar to many other show concepts. But anyway , definitely will be interesting to see what comes of Euron's attempts , he is surely trying to become a god and will stop at nothing to do so , hopefully it becomes a mega epic Icarus-like iteration collapse that we see at some point with Euron. So much theorizing and conjecture on exactly what he will / be able to summon , what his plans are for Oldtown (beyond destruction) ; though as mentioned here and elsewhere it does seem like he wants to break the world and create it anew in his evil image with Euron as a seeming deity at the helm. This impending blood sacrifice should be epic ; all types of religious and magical blood , his own kin (kin-slaying) and his child via Falia (could be argued kings-blood at work there) , will be interesting to see what transpires from that. Also it has to be said Euron must be politically savvy / astute and charismatic as well because he could not have gotten where he is without those willing to follow and support him. And i think Euron's metaphysical experience trial / evaluation from Bloodraven in Euron's youth , where Bloodraven likely deemed him to sick and evil to be chosen , gave EG a glimpse into the magical mysteries of the world of which he took to a very dark place and fueled his endless selfish evil ambitions. One thing I am not sold on is that he will get his hands on the Horn of Winter , not saying definitely not but sort of too much a monopoly on horns for me considering he already has the dragon-binder , and i don't believe the HoW will take down The Wall anyway. The timing with the books' Night's King is a bit murky but most of it suggests that whole episode came after the Wall was built and the HoW was blown during that time and the Wall is still up and intact. Though with dragon-binder , knowing Euron clearly is 10 steps ahead of not the sharpest Victarion , definitely curious to see what the exact results of blowing the dragon-binder will be. Euron is just a well written evil villain whose fall / collapse should be just as epic as his rise with likely some type of backfire or blowback with his continued reckless heinous actions , especially with the idea of the magical cost principle we see so often in GRRM's ASoIaF universe.

I predict Hands of White Fire Lady is Aeron. Tin foil theory: Aeron witnesses Euron's victory at sea and Oldtown, and starts to beleive the mad dreams of Euron, then does worship him as Euron demanded. He becomes Euron's high priest and is taught some fire magic. Perhaps he is dressed as a woman to represent how easily he submits to Euron. Aeron comes from a culture where women are taught readily submission to men, maybe he fills that role. Lot of what ifs, but how awesome would it be to see Aeron become everything he feared to be. I think Euron meant it when he offered his brother a position of power. Aeron would not submit out of fear or love, but probably a display of unstoppable power.

Awesome to see Ba'al there great series, glad you guys are doing this for us awaiting the arrival of the real Winds of Winter to blow off the crap of D n D ....ops sorry I had to go there

Oh yeah been waiting for this, it's the plotline I look forward the most in Winds of Winter, along with the battle of ice

UR CHANNEL IZ GUD!! You have great theories, they seem to be so well thought out. Euron rules! 😨😳

appreciate you Quinn & LML

IIRC there's also a Valaryan Sphink at Vaes Dothrak as well. I think it's the same one Illyrio points out is missing to Tyrion as they travel to meet Duck and Haldon.

It’s always possible that Marwen has purposely or unwittingly baited Euron to Oldtown through the glass candles. Maybe to distract Euron and keep him away from Dany.

Oh hell yea, the Legends return for another epic video! Keep it up, your stuff is a blessing during this neverending wait for George 😭

I swear I have all the Euron stuff from the sample TWOW chapters memorized word for word at this point

Endless appreciation for your hard work and passion guys

Love this podcast style video.

Could "the shadow in woman's form with hands of pale fire" be Quaithe? She is a shadow binder and possibly using a glass candle. Could he tempt her & she accepts because she seems to want to help Dany? But then things go terribly wrong for Quaithe? GRRM does like to do the whole "I meant to do good but it turned out terrible" trope.

I love it when people read off of homemade teleprompters, just have a piece of paper guys. It's okay.

Has anyone else wondered about the plots and intrigue that we don’t see in the westerlands? I feel like with the death of Tywin, the Lannister’s will have a lot of problems, even in their home land.

These stories from the Age of Heroes which seem to continually repeat in the present leads me to believe George is foreshadowing the fact that these stories aren't from the "past" per say, but are actually prophecies of future events.

If he’s going old town maybe to learn the info to control the dead in the north. Or learn how to control the dragons?

I love this intro so much, specially the sounds of the winds

Love the props!!! Y’all got wildfire! 😧

You know I wasn’t much into the GOT books, because of the TV show and since season 6 onwards ruined the show my interest diminished even more, but this book Euron has definitely spiked my curiosity on reading WOW. 🤔

Euron and Eminem: “Why be a king when you could be a God”

Many thanks to Quinn and LML for highlighting a lesser known high quality content channel like Ba'al with their much bigger platform!

This on the heels of the altshift x video was great. It’s Euron season?

Hey I just looked up and I'm seeing some fell sorcery atplay here your messing with that glass candle again huh.....wait are you inside of my mind , is this even real🤣

Ba'al gettin' in on the action too. Noice!

About that weirwood tree with the purple moss, I heard a theory that the trees in front of the House of the Undying might be rotten or corrupted weirwoods. The parallels _are_ there. The Shade of the Evening is similar in its effects to weirwood paste in that it's a hallucinogenic liquid. It's also blue, the opposite of red (not really, but that's the common belief and this isn't a science lesson). And when you combine blue and red you get purple. Blue like the ocean and red like blood. Both of those are in abundance around the Iron Isles and Qarth. Also, octopus blood doesn't have hemoglobin which makes it blue. Like Shade of the Evening. Bloody hands of gods and blue blood of Cthulhu sounds incredibly dangerous. That's without combining them and giving them to a sadistic, madman who grew up sexually assaulting and killing his little relatives.

Pfft! Asha and Faegon are going to have the Cthulhu baby

Of course the shade of the evening visions are things that may have been but will never be - some of the time.

Ha! Spot on with Alleras! You should be in more of these!

In all seriousness though, Euron might just be insane. Doesn't mean he's not extremely dangerous. But we don't really see much indication of this level of sorcery.

I love that you guys are open to all possibilities. Like Dany potentially becoming evil or at least a little “tainted”. OOTGH shoves that idea right out the window just because the show did it and they can’t seem to grasp any of the foreshadowing George has laid out for us. Could it happen? I don’t know. But to outright say “no” is the wrong way to go about it.

"You've seen a ship with black sails that is crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out."

LmL looking extra baked in this one

LmL looks like he’s ok another planet right here!

Part of me would love to see Euron commission a new ship built entirely from weirwood, sailing on a sea of blood on a ship made from the corpses of gods while clad in Valyrian steel and commanding krakens and a dragon is a hell of an image!

I just finished my reread of A Game of Thrones and Danaerys has a HUGE vision in the flames of Khal Drogo's funeral pyre. She also recognizes that SHE is Fire, just as Bran has the dream that Jon is Ice. The lannguage of the funeral pyre is extremely symbolic, with the warlocks from the House of the Undying, either the weirwood, or the shade of the evening tree, then it shows masts of ships and great wings, as of dragons before showing the great Houses of Westeros by their sigils.

Been loving this collab. The show may be done but that doesn't mean our fav story is over! I am so much more curious about what happens in Winds that I am in any talk about HBO and their lack of realization. The ironborn are such a fascinating people I'm so glad to hear more about them and especially this evil fuck right here. Truly one of the most terrifying people in the entire series. Great job guys!

Damn Quinn.. when'd you get almost 250k subs? Congratulations.. keep it up man

Everybody gangsta still the scary hot topic manager show up to their city

I loved this series so much.....millions will cry when wow releases

what a team we got this episode

So much awesomeness in one room! If I was king, ya'all would be on my small counsel. Quin would be Master of Ideas, Gretchen Master of Mythology, and LML Master of Compendiums.

George RR Martin has a lot of Admiral Byrd references too "The Long Night" he called death Also, when the Vikings left a Greenland settlement and disappeared and the Inuit Eskimo people said that they went north to search for the mythical land of "Always Summer" and the dragon Lord who flew over Sothyros to find endless desert, jungles, forests, lakes, etc... That matches what Byrd said about his ✈️ over Antarctica after he got past the ice (when he flew over the N & S Poles) the ice shelves. Good shit

It would been awesome to have Victarion and book Euron on the show, I hate how they downplayed the fantasy on the show.

Bran is going incapacitate Euron. I getting so confused, so many different plots, how do they converge, will they converge?

What about the horn Sam has ? The one he found with Jon beyond the wall ? That might be the horn that tears down the wall ( cant remember what is called )

I can’t wait for this book all of the badass plot and fights will be going down In TWoW

The 3 heads of the dragon!

This combo seiries is fucking rad. I was worried the fandom would be dust and bone by the time the next book came out

Why would euron attack Old Town? Mmm, why would a pirate king, whose position depends entirely on keeping his men rich in spoils, want to attack the richest city in westeros? Not everything has to have a magical motivation, this is likely to be entirely tactical.

Looks like David had brought out his good Blood Eyes for this one.

I think he want's to become the Night's King so he can blow the horn himself and take control of the dragons and such.

‘I am your king, I am your god’ Quinn’s narration is fantastic

A woman like shadow - Melissandra Control of fire - Melissandra She's trying to protect the world from The Others, but she's already a really dark character who is pretty bad at interpreting what the Lord of Light tells her. A very corruptible and radicalized person who can be led astray by false visions and already has been

Do you guys think the show portraying Euron and Cersei teaming up will be in the book at all? Does anyone here know if George has commented on this? I'm personally inclined to think hes going to try to convince Dany to join the dark side but if Cersei is heading towards a "Evil Mad Queen" arc, would she really team up with Euron??

-Good- unspeakably evil and ambitious Euron. Others that talk to each other. Valonquar prophecy. Lady Stoneheart. This is gonna be awesome. I’m guardedly optimistic that we won’t have to wait ages for book 7 after book 6 is released, since I’d imagine the big challenge for George R.R. Martin (a prolific writer) is to contain the remaining story within two books. The release of Winds of Winter should be confirmation that he’s found a way to do it, and has the structure of A Dream of Spring laid out.

You’re Pre-TWOW ASOIAF collaborations are the best thing going on in my world right now... did you know?

inetresting too that westeros seems to be in the "eye' of a dark and terrible storm
