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.

alchemistxp2 Excellent points!! God, why don’t I think of this stuff?! Aemon giving her an an egg, the egg hatching in their son’s cradle, and the death of Morning. Aemon LOOOVED her- I can totally see him picking out the finest dragon egg for her the moment she told him she was pregnant. Probably spent a week at Dragonstone trying to decide which one would please her most. Morning was pink and healthy. The last Targaryen dragon was green & didn’t live long, so there’s (obviously) more coming.

This video is awesome. I was literally working on a similar theory where Alys was Mel. But the guy in my head wouldn’t let me rule out the possibility of her being the woods witch of high heart. While I love the evidence linking her to Mel it would make sense that she would wait in the shadows then when enough time has gone by that people forget come back with her granddaughter/great granddaughter and convince a young prince to marry her and try to claim the crown that way. But I have to say after this video I’m def leaning towards Mel more than ever. Thanks for the great content!

I like the idea but I feel like the part from Mel's POV where she remembers 'Melony' and 'lot seven' which I believe was her original name when she was sold into slavery to the Red Temple kind of gives this theory a little less credit.

So it is more realistic that way.

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

I lean toward Mushroom’s theory that it was a sling. Westerosi are bow users (trees being generally plentiful) and so a sling culture has never had to develop and few have seen slings in action. 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?

@TookALevelInBadass They did include men. Actually (in europe) the trails were not meant just for women, but mostly for rich or influential people so that greedy nobles could acquire their land/wealth (including the payment for the priest). The salem witches were different because it all stemmed from the lies of some little girls that, to avoid punishment from their stern father) said they had been possessed by a local "witch". When the trials begun and things had escalated too far they kept lying to avoid taking responsibility for their lies.

The most famous example of this would be the trial of Gil de Rais, that was accused by naighboring nobles who wanted some of his castles. It was expected that he would be freed (given his status) but they wanted to extort him into paying with some land to ensure "everything would go smoothly" as was customary. What was not expected was for him to actually confess his crimes (which were terrible btw). This was one of the very few trials that sentenced someone truly guilty for their crimes.

@@reignorshine. 1) He wasn't a sorcerer, he was more of a demon/satan worshiper. He was being judge for the crimes of kidnapping, torturing, raping, and butchering children (crimes which he had been accused of by the kids parents, though dismissed due to his position as a noble). 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. The idea was that IF you could survive the process while claiming your innocence you were not a witch, but if you confessed or died during the process, then you were. 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. (this was not the case with the Salem witch trials, in this particular case it was the mob mentality of the towns people that ultimately killed the accused)

Maybe she is the mysterious figure that controls Euron. Mellisandre is not power thirsty according to her POV chapter, just a fanatic. I think she is a brand new character that manipulates Euron for her own egotistical plans and maybe she wants revenge against Westeros, because they stopped her somehow. 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?

"Odd device like Mushroom suggests" how is a sling an odd device? It is pretty much a bit of leather used to throw small objects, like stones or soft lead balls at a high speed. It is like a slingshot, but instead of pulling back on elastic the force comes from swinging it, and they were used on battlefields in for a very long time, possibly even up to the invention of guns.

If she was a follower of the Lord of Light, the death of two of the royal blood in a flash of dragons might provide her with a great deal of power.

Only in Salem 200 trials of accusation were run 19 people were found guilty and 14 people were executed. Those trials were run between 1692 and 1693. Now a year in a town disproves your comment. Witchcraft accusations were a serious deal and a horrible thing. Specially in Europe, where they would run those accusations to the people that was found not to be catholic. Also dont even mention the spanish colonies...

3:18 Aemond and Daemon died via dragon battle, 'tis true. However you confused me by using the picture of Aemond killing *Lucerys* as the image to demonstrate the aforementioned. Also you called her Alys Westhill at one point although I can see you acknowledged that mistake elsewhere in the comments. Otherwise, this was a great video!

I don't think she is Melissandre, but she does seem to be possibly a red priestess. Should be fun when she shows up on HoTD. Man I'm gonna be ultra pissed if they ruin this one...

She isn't anyone special, she is herself. A brand new character, never before written about, made for Fire & Blood which has been out for a couple months. Everyone wants her to be the ancestor of someone, but its just endless speculation for no reason. She is just a throwaway character, George has made dozens of them for fans to endless speculate about and waste time on.

It isn't a waste of time. Its a fun use of one's mind. Trying to see if an author who is known for many layered plots. Actual left one for the many characters he's helped bring to life. I consider it an interesting puzzle.

Agreed. IMHO, she is nothing but a filler character. I don't get the hype, simping, and over-romanticizing of Alys and Aemond's relationship/ situationship. Much less her character that is a discount Melisandre.

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.

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
