Speaking of Alice Westhill there's no way she could have sailed to Asshai unless she turned around like the other ships but missed Sothoroys and continued on to Asshai. The Targaryen, the name slips my mind, that flew her dragon south was gone 3+ years. That means for at least 18 months due south, without any change in climate or scenery. On the low side a dragon must travel twice as fast as any ship. Without storms or land that has to be sailed around its prob closer to 5X the distance a boat could achieve. On a globe that size the entire known world be roughly the size of Greenland. Sun Chaser would have had to sail decades to wrap around to the other side of Asshai, and even then Asshai would be a target so small that after sailing uncharted waters for that long the chances of pinpoint accuracy are laughable. So no, Alys Westhill did not circumnavigate Planetos.

That head exploding scene had me thinking of Georges Nightflyers novella, where a male telepath has his head blown up by a more powerful female telepath because she feels he is trying to enter the mind of her son. Seeing how Skinchangers seem to work with similar rules as the telepaths of Georges earlier works; they can enter minds of animals and people, they can sense each other's powers and maybe even control dead bodies (if that's how the Others do it, which I think makes sense given how the bodies still need their muscles to move), perhaps Alys was a very powerful skinchanger, maybe even on the level of Bran + years of experience. She could enter the mind of Ser Regis and blow it up, and later she could probably lurk inside the mind of the man who delivered the warning and once someone laughed she took control of the muscles in his throat and strangled him.

I don't think she is Melissandra. If you believe the theory that Mel is like the fire version of the night's queen then that establishes Mel's powers as not unique to herself, but that these powers can be acquired by any woman with enough study, practice and dedication. Mel is devoted to R'hllor and believes that is where her powers come from, which doesn't makes sense if she could use magic before. Alys Rivers is another which of this type. And maybe she is the water version of this type, operating in Harrenhall, near a lake and being called rivers.

Alys Rivers is probably one of my favorite parts of Fire and Blood, along with Sun Chaser obviously. I hope we get a satisfying conclusion to her story in the next volume. Could Alys actually have a dragon? I think so, who is to say that Prince Aemond didn't give her a dragon's egg like Prince Daemon tried to give to Mysaria and his bastard child? The dragon would have hatched along with Aemond's bastard and would have been around the same age as Princess Rhaena's Morning. Morning has to die somehow, let it be fighting another dragon.

Probably spent a week at Dragonstone trying to decide which one would please her most. Morning was pink and healthy.

Begs the question how she gained all of this knowledge, whether magic or showmanship. Mel, Miri Maz Dur, Quaithe, Shiera Seastar, all were known to have spent significant time in Asshai, or at least on the opposite side of Essos from Westeros. Alys most likely never set foot across the Narrow Sea, if she ever left the Riverlands at all. The other women above used the mystery of their time abroad to enhance how they were perceived, to use the fear words such as the shadow instilled in both common and noble alike. I've had a theory about House Strong that I've yet to offer up on the forums. Something that connects the current story to the Dance, and may just be the magic bullet that connects Alys to several of the most important characters in the current timeline.1

Someone with an Essos background up on the battlements might have been an absolute master with a sling. The rest of the skull explosion event was just misremembering and the atmosphere of trepidation. Also, if witches could blow skulls apart with a wave of their hand why aren’t they ruling the planet?

And the only reason he was caught was due to his accomplices being tricked and admitting to the crimes. He later had some kind of vision of hell and confessed to all his crimes hoping for the absolution the priests had promised him. 2) The Malleus Maleficarum was like a manual for "identifying witches", though really it was a torturing textbook.

In reality, the methods where so painful and vicious that it was practically impossible to survive it. Most people admitted their crimes simply to put an end to their suffering.

Mellisandre on the other hand wants to save Westeros.She burns some unfaithfull people but does not mistreat anyone who offends her.She looked the Meister with a sad look and said that Davos is going to be usefull. i don't have the book to read the story myself but I don't think Melissandre is Alys Rivers.Alys Rivers would have tortured Davos even if he though of betraying her.She would do him things like.....hm.....like Euron did to his ship maybe?

Sıla Gülcemal Ik but magic is mostly gone from the world in the current timeline. Besides Danny’s three curiosities dragons are gone. In the past in the time of the dragons magic was a more powerful force and I have no doubt that Mel was even more powerful back then. Mel does powerful acts of magic without as much magic in the world as there was in the past.

Nice video and all but not Melisandra. Melisandra sings with the accent of the Jade sea, Alys Rivers is not IDed as having an accent and so is likely one of Westeros' own. Melisandra is convinced she on a mission from God, Alys is just straight evil with selfish motivations. Then there is no R'hillor "the night is dark and full of shadowbabies" rhetoric.

Sauron has yet to reveal his deadliest servant the one who will lead his armies in war. The one they say no living man can kill. The Witch Queen of Harrenhal.

Wow this video is really quiet. (Yes, I've turned the volume way up. Now I just pray I get no notification pings, or my neighbours will murder me.)

After learning about Alys Rivers all day I'm convinced that she's a red herring is really just a random huge breasted woman who relied on people being afraid of her and her playing scary. I feel like for that reason she's not gonna be in the show cause she's just kinda meant to act as a placeholder of somebody irrelevant to hold down harrenhal for a bit. Change my mind
