Neo Carrick I totally agree with you. This channel is so amazing and informative I’ve learned so super much from all her videos and I just love her voice . Thank God it’s not one of those stupid robot sounding voices because I would never have watched the videos.

If this is true, then the North doesn't remember....

"Called it the wall because that's what it was. It was a wall." Riveting commentary.

Winterfell is so interesting to me. Like you've said, it is so much more than what we know, the name in itself has several meanings that most likely tie into the past and future. Great video Gray!

More likely the crypts are blocked on purpose, not collapsed, for a reason. What that reason is I haven't a clue. But everything Bran the Builder made stands at this point in the story. Why would the crypts be any different?

It would make since if winter is buried in the crypts, because the knight king was rumored to be a Stark.

Here's what I think. the only other castle in the seven kingdoms that have gargoyles like the original bit of Winterfell is Dragonstone. Gargoyles are a mark of Valyrian architecture. I know the history buffs will tell me that the first keep was constructed over 5,000 years ago and therefore was built before the founding of the Valyrian freehold. This is true but those who pay extra attention to detail will know that this doesn't mean shit. The Hightowers and the Daynes are of first men ancestry yet have Valyrian features. Jorah tells Dany that his Hightower wife resembled her for one, for two, we see the some Daynes having extremely attractive looks and some have silver hair (Darkstar) and purple eyes (Ashara). Their sword Dawn was forged from the metal of a meteorite instead of steel made from iron but it has Valyrian steel features which means it was forged with the spells of the fire and blood magic known to Valyrians and was forged like steel and the first men didn't know how to make steel because that knowledge was brought to Westeros by the Andals. Sam mentions Dragonsteel being wielded against the Others which for the reasons I mentioned above, I believe is what they called Valyrian steel before there was an actual Valyria. The people who went on to find Valyria were once in Westeros. They made Winterfell and the Starks descended from them like the Daynes and the Hightowers. They made the first keep and marked it with gargoyles. They wielded the Dragonsteel against the Others in the North. It is said that the great sword Ice got its name from an earlier family sword. I believe that the original Ice was made of this Dragonsteel Sam mentions and that it rests in the crypts of Winterfell. My last piece of evidence that links these pre-Valyrians (for lack of a better name) is that we know that the Valyrians like to build around volcanoes like we see with the fourteen flames of Valyria and the volcano on Dragonstone. Think about the fact that Winterfell is built on a hotspring. There are hot pools of water all over Winterfell and they even managed to pipe it through the castle itself for warmth. The reasons there are hotsprings under Winterfell is because it was built on top of an UNDERGROUND VOLCANO! Yellowstone National Park has hot springs all over it because it has a massive underground volcano under it that erupts once every couple of thousand of years. I'm not saying that it will erupt under Winterfell, just pointing out details. Volcanos are obviously an optimal place for fire magic and therefore a great place to build a fortress to fight the Others from and the Valyrians were attracted to them. There could very well be access to obsidian in the deepest parts of the crypts if they've dug deep enough and even the Long Night won't freeze those who take refuge there. I also believe that the Night's King's bride is the Great Other and was defeated there and even possibly imprisoned there. She was based of the leanan sidhe from Celtic mythology the way the children and the Others were inspired by the regular Sidhe. It explains her ability to take the Nights King's soul. And if she took his soul than she was ruling through him because he would have been no more than a thrall to her. She targets and enslaves men which is why all the Others are male. And she makes for a perfect description for the Great Other. The leanan sidhe enslaves and feeds off those who are seduced by her, but it cuts both ways. If a man is able to resist her temptations than she is bound to his will and must do as he bids. I think something happened to reawaken her and this is the reason behind the return of the Others. Or the pact was broken which allowed her to return to her ways. Or maybe she was biding her time waiting for the return of the long night and when she saw the signs of its return she started building power again. I won't presume to be able to guess everything when there are so many possibilities. I will say that he was called the "Night's King" because she is the Night and he is her King.

Maaike R there is a problem with the three heads of the Dragon thing. Rhaegar mentioned it once to his wife in one on Dany's dreams. The undying mention 3 to her several times but never bring it up, although when they call her child of three it could mean she is one of three. I think the biggest thing about the three heads of the Dragon theory is that people enjoy trying to guess who the other two dragon riders are. Most people think it's Jon and Tyrion. I really like the show a lot too but I won't try to theorize it because they have changed so much it makes it hard. I think the white-haired woman in Brans vision was shown so Bran and us could see a more sinister side of the old gods and the way they were worshipped. I still can't say about the pregnant woman. I do believe that knowing GRRM, the NQ most likely was a normal person at some point and that neither the Great Other or Rhhlor are physically walking around somewhere in this series.

GrayArea winter is the dragon who fell there 8000 y3ars ago.... winter.... fell..

Well I think they build winterfell on a simular cave/tree spot as bloodravens cave....with a simular function. But did they do it to protect something or to keep it contained and prevent others from reaching it...are they guarding it and will winter come for it? The children brought their dead to bloodravens cave to feed the tree and had a spell to keep the others out. While winterfell has spells to keep the dead inside (does that also mean keeping others out and did the spell on bloodravens cave keep their dead in too or is it specifically on the crypts? Why?). And the starks feed their dead to the tree (all around the castle) as well. Maybe the deeper you go inside the crypts the nearer to the roots of the tree that would explain why the oldest dead are buried the deepest... they are nearest to the tree and that was the purpose of the crypts...the other dead are just build above it. Winterfell would be expending towards the sky not into the ground...cause its about what is inside the caves not about the building on top of the tree. Bran had a vision of a white haired woman doing human sacrifice to the tree at winterfell...she was feeding the tree like ned fed the tree when he cleaned his sword beneath the tree. I think the family customs are bloodmagic like the children/WW practice cause they are related they just don't know it anymore but the WW sure do thats why they don't kill but turn the starks. It explains the starks abilities as well. I think in order to know if WW are evil we need to know the origins of the Starks and how they connect to the children. The children did bloodmagic does that make them evil? Or are they just nature. Its interesting that bran got trained by bloodraven to enhance his greensight/warging, arya got trained by the faceless men (also bloodmagic) to skinchange. There is something about the starks. I think the dragon has 3 heads means 3 different types of magic rooted in the same history..probably all 3 coming from the children. With every dragon having 1 person be its head....like all the red priestesses believing in the red God supporting Dany. Faceless men...many faced god and all the faces on the trees....its human sacrifice to the tree....could there be a tree in the house of black and white cause they also store the dead there...are they feeding a tree? I don't think this will end in war and destruction.. it will end in balance and peace.

GrayArea I watched other vids and saw a pattern. Like Arya and bran both eat something before getting trained in their abilities. The house of black and white felt like wintefell...no shit girl...its the fucking crypts. They targeted Arya because she is a Stark. Thats why they didn't mind she went back home...she was always meant to do that, its what they wanted..to help the Stark be what she was meant to be...just like they did with bran. I wonder if Ned knew....knew the secret of the starks...knew about the prophecy rhaegar/lyanna knew about jon and knew about Arya's future. If her dance instructor was a faceless man...could ned have known? Arya would need protection and training. He send Jon to the wall where he would be more safe. Could Ned have been part of it or be alive if a faceless man died in his place? I think there is more going on than we know. And I think all the religions are the same and rooted together...the trees of the children...nature. So fighting amongst yourself cause ya call it something else is fucking stupid. I think feeding the tree is meant as...going back to the roots...going back to the Gods. So killing someone infront of the tree is honourable in a way.....but the Targaryens burn their dead. I think BOTH the Targaryens and the WW started as an act of anger towards the first men. And the Starks might be the grandkids that don't fucking remember what they say they remember. No shit Jon knows nothing.

At this point I'm pretty sure this whole thing isn't about 3 dragonriders or a war. Its the SONG of ice and fire. And the children call themselves singers. Apparently a long time ago they sang a song about ice and fire...WW and Dragons. And its ice AND fire not ice against fire. It was based on the poem about the world ending in ice or fire. Could ice and fire both be a creation by the children...two responses out of anger/fear? But it got a bit out of hand... wooops.

I think a Great Other is down there, the cold drafts coming up from below where it should be hot because there are hotsprings. Also good job pointing out that the only parts of Winterfell left that Bran built is the crypts and the..well I think the broken tower but you say the first keep. (not sure which if either are right) I also think the iron swords are to keep the Other from taking the dead kings as his army, and the ironwood door to the crypts is the last line of defense in case of an escape. This Other is important enough to be held hostage against an entire army of Others, long enough to even build a wall.

I'd think it is called "winterfell" because it might be the place men made their last stand and won, In the war against the others.

"Winter" is a great dragon that breathes ice and fire. That's why the walls stay warm...and also why there most always be a "Stark in Winterfell". I love your channel. You do a great job. Thank you.

George Martin likes hiding things in plain sight: Brandon Stark is Winter, reborn over the ages as required.

Winterfell is truly an amazing castle. The Crypts are fascinating. They have some bigger purpose that we don't know about, yet. I imagine that the damage the Greyjoys and Bolton's did to the Castle probably didn't help either. And of course, "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell."

Winter was the name of the queen of the night king which the north forgets... The north will remember this april.

What if... Ned Starck turns out to have done something that broke the pact of The God's Eye that ended the war so long ago. What if what he did - that we don't know about yet, is the reason the Nights King is coming South.Many things are not what they seem.

not a villain; just a bit of a fool. Also, Ned's father and brother dying together may have resulted in the loss of critical info that may have been passed between Ned's father and his eldest but not passed down to Ned. Bad planning there between the Starks, but that is nothing new.

Sorry, I did not mean villain as in maleficent. More unwitting. He may not have known what he was doing- or rather he may not have been aware of the implications of his actions - or perhaps someone like Baelish persuaded him that what he was doing was the honorable thing, when in fact it was to have consequences even Baelish doesn't yet fully comprehend.

It is an interesting idea. Good question, why the WW came back. 1. Either Jon's birth could be awaken them - but I don't like this idea, although it makes some sense. But if I am right, and Rhaegar and Lyanna was not pure love, but duty too, warnings of the Old Gods (Bloodraven/Bran on the Isle of Faces) to create a hybrid to save future Westeros from the doom, then if Jon would not have been born, then no problem at all... So it would be a paradox... 2. I like your idea better: that Rickard shared the Stark secret with Brandon, but Brandon and Rickard both died, and the huge Stark secret was forgotten, some taboo broken by Ned unwillingly (Ned was raised at the Vale, had not so close bond with Winterfell and it's secrets), which awoke the WWs. Or during the Tourney of Harrenhall, or the Rebellion the rule of "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" was already broken, when Ned marched South to war. 3. Or: just the rings of the sun turned into such a state (in the intro and in the Citadel on the ceiling), where they close Planetos from the sun for a long while. I don't know, but it is a very interesting question, what awoke the WWs.

Fell is a high barren landscape. It's an English word derived from Old Norse. Fells refer to uncultivated high grounds moor-covered hills and grazing lands. Based on the description of the land surrounding Winterfell I say this is what the word fell means in the name. Since people gather around Winterfell in the Winter you can say that Winterfell is Winters high ground. People go to the high ground when a storm with potential flooding comes. It is the same for the people around Winterfell, they come to escape the flood of snow.

What I think is...you do an awesome job of storytelling and picture painting. You, Go Girl!

it is really interesting how the first lords and kings of winter are in the far first depths of the crypts "Bran the Builder does it again"!

Winterfell is where the Children of the Forrest drove dragon glass into the Night King who was a Stark. Which is why there is always a need for a Stark to be at Winterfell.

i think winterfell has some kind of magical protection against walkers.

I just thought of something. Maybe Winter is an ice dragon! They're guarding him there. The warm springs are too hot for him, so they keep him from coming up to the surface.

Winterfell, winter has a rarely used meaning Years... As in using it to mark the passing of time, "He is Sixty Winters old." Fell also has many old meanings, some of the odder ones, 1) Finish by sewing an edge down flat. 2) fierce; cruel; dreadful; savage. destructive; deadly. 3) an Middle English form meaning wicked person (ie Felon). 4) Skin or animal hide. 5) an upland pasture, moor, or thicket; a highland plateau. GRRM likes to use words, and naming is important to him, as you know. So going with your theory, its not where Winter was defeated, but where Winter's Fell is, where they buried Winter, the Crypts... and using fell if the area is hill the meaning can be hidden under the term Winterfell, or Winter's Pastures.

Hella deep once again. I like how you broke that down about the castles meaning exactly what they're named. It makes a lot of sense. Winterfell.... The fall of Winter. You're so brilliant! I can't even articulate how much I love your analysis and the way you think. Can't wait for tomorrows post!

The starks.

I just heard it, "Down, down, down". There is the female other, imprisoned, down, down, down, in the burning ring of fire! (that explains the hot springs and also what GRRM is listening to when he writes)

In aTV show called Supernatural , humans faced the World’s End. A well-known monster killer , Dean , lost his honor while trapped in hell. That broke the world’s first Holy Seal. All other holy seals that protected the realms of men fell like dominoes. Dean was expected to sacrifice his life to prevent the End of the World. If Ned started the Long Night by breaking some forgotten oath, someone of Stark Blood must end it. Of course Supernatural,famous for breaking the mold , stopped the Great War without killing Dean. I’d like Ned to comeback and clean up his own mess.

Ya...Stark Week! I believe all Starks are buried in the cryps, only Kings & Lords have statues. Ned broke that rule with statues for his sister & brother. Thx for great vid!

The Kings of Winter have their swords in a manner in which denies guest right, the way Robb does with Tyrion when he came.. that's interesting information..

ya been doing good work GrayArea. thanks for these. excited to see what you have planned for season 7.

My favorite videos are about Winterfell and the weirwood trees. I like them more than any of the actual characters in the series. Lovely voice, you should do audio books.

If you believe the ice dragon theory, then Winter was a dragon that fell at Winterfell, and might come back. Or, Winter's eggs are in the crypts and that's what was being guarded down there all those centuries - not simply the bones of the Starks, but a dragon's egg.

Based around what was said about Ned burying his brothers and sisters in the crypts and breaking some sort of rule, that could be one of the reasons that there must always be a Stark at Winterfall because Bean the builder new that a future Stark would bury some one down there that doesn't belong

that was AWESOME!!!! the howling woke my Beagle puppy, Charlie, up and he started howling. So I know he liked your video too😀Man, Winterfell is a huge mystery. u did an incredible job. The crypts will definitely, absolutely play a huge part in the Winter that is now here!!much love and howls🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💙💜💚😘🐺🐺🐺

I wonder if the show is going to include the book fact that the walls are heated because it was built over hot springs? Seems like a good reason for the Starks to have been able to weather winters so well in the past.

I do think it highly likely something is down there and has either been jailed there or protected in some way. I tend towards jailed because of that wonderful passage in the first book. "By ancient custom an iron longsword had been laid across the lap of each who had been Lord of Winterfell, to keep the vengeful spirits in their crypts. The oldest had long ago rusted away to nothing, leaving only a few red stains where the metal had rested on stone. Ned wondered if that meant those ghosts were free to roam the castle now. He hoped not." What if the lack of that protection of an iron sword has allowed enough of a hole for whatever is down there to whisper to the Night King. It does make you wonder though.

I love your channel so much so much new and interesting info, also you are one of the rare channels that is not irritating to listen to :))

You must have been reading my mind. This is going to be a great week🚂🐾🐾🐾🤺

It is said that there is a dragon in the crypts, or beneath winterfell, it could be in the collapsed section. With dragon eggs.

Bran is Lord of Winterfell and John is King of Westeros. Being the son of Edard Stark Bran is first in line. If John is King of the north then hew doesn't need Winterfell anyway. He should build his own castle.

I wake with a thirst to dry out the Kraken, I come for the JUICE!!!

I think even though the study starts above the Wall and not Winterfell it still begins in the north and that's where it will end. I've heard SO many things that could be in Winterfell. That there's an ice dragon named Winter, that's where he "fell," and that's what the pool in the godswood is (The Ice Dragon has the same thing). So many possibilities. 🐺🐺🐺

Winter=Ice Dragon, Winterfell may=where Winter, the Ice Dragon actually fell...

i like your idea that it was the burial of Lyanna and Brandon that started the others moving. I am not sure I agree but fun to think about. Depending on the order the father and brother died the brother could have been Lord of Winterfell for a brief, uncrowded, time.

I'm thinking Winter is an Ice Dragon...maybe that's why Ned's sword is called "ICE"...because it killed the ice dragon and their castle is where that dragon fell. Perhaps there are more, maybe even in the wall. There could be three dragons: Winter, Ice, and Snow...Ice is named for the dragon it killed...maybe snow was killed long ago, and now the lady of them, Winter, is coming next.

🐺🐺- Love your channel and the whole golden company, keep up the great work-🐺🐺

I have thought for a while that the crypts could serve as a hide-out for when/if the White Walkers come south.

Little Finger is no one. I think he can change faces and at the end of this episode, he was pretending to be Arya. Sansa got a letter earlier to go to see Cersei. He knew she wouldn't go and that she would send Brienne, who is supposed to protect the Stark sisters. They even made it a point to show that scene with Sansa and Little Finger. He's trying to divide Arya and Sansa. The first time Arya and Sansa spoke this episode, Arya showed emotion. She showed uncertainty when speaking about their father. The final time they speak, Arya spoke much differently. She spoke calm and with no emotion. She also flipped that blade and handed it to Sansa like someone who has handled that blade for years. Little Finger owned that blade for years. Arya just got to Winterfell and we've never seen her handle a blade like that. Just Needle and a bow.

I couldn't even begin to write all that I can imagine that might be down there but I do hope they address this for I like to think it's something awesome! I would like to see something awesome coming from the crypts of Winterfell. Something magical and meaningful!

🐺 Yes Stark Week! What a clever idea! Well done!

Very nice Sweetie, the Ladies and I have discussed this at length, & I at least agree with you, wards should be in place at all the places Bran the Builder built, it seems. Take care & have a great week. Old Nan

I believe that a dragon of ice is underneath Winterfell, and when Jon fights the others the old Winter Kings will Rise and fight beside him

Not true the older the king, the deeper he is in the crypts. Walking with Robert, Ned tells him, “She is down at the END, with Father and Brandon.” (GoT pg. 42.) “Ned stopped at last and lifted the oil lantern. The crypt continued on into darkness ahead of them, but beyond this point the tombs were empty and unsealed; black holes waiting for their dead, waiting for him and his children.” (GoT pg. 43.) So it started with the oldest & the deeper into it (deeper meaning further down the “long procession of granite pillars that marched ahead two by two, into the dark. Between the pillars, the dead sat on their stone thrones against walls...”) the more recent the death.

There may be whole bunch of dragon glass in the crypts... That may reveal in some vision of bran...

My only thought against this is the overly strange coincidence of the timing of the Red God’s followers entering Westeros at the same time. Seems like it would only be one of those two to cause the Night King to return. And my money is on the fire vs ice theme.

I have to two theories of what is down there in the Crypts. A.) A Identity, Creature that needs to be contained and is sealed away with ancient magic. B.) The Kings of Winter are resting down there, waiting for the Time the long Night returns. Waiting till the time has come to rise. To defend their own Blood, the Starks, against the prime Enemy of all life. Maybe that´s the Reason why 🐺 The North remembers 🐺 that 🐺 Winter is coming 🐺

Daniel Wolfgang I think B has been foreshadowed

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 Winter is Coming. So excited for the next few days !

There is an Ice Dragon at the bottom of the tombs of Winterfell named Winter. The hot springs keep it weak enough that it cannot break out.

It explains why there are gargoyles, why the bottom is collapsed, why the Kings have swords. , and why there must ALWAYS be a Stark in Winterfell.

What in Winterfell? Yetis. Who'd make ice creams for all the people in Westeros, by means of pooping.

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 We need more Direwolves......Calling all Wolves in the Far North, we need you 🐺

I am wondering what did happen to the Knight King and his wife the Ice Queen when Brandon Stark and the Children of the forest defeated them? Could they tomb or prison be located deep in the lower crypts of Winterfell? Closed off so they can't escape if they are still alive guarded by dead Starks and that is why there must always be a Stark at Winterfell.

Giorgio Corrado maybe the door to the crypts is made of iron wood, iron wood is live the reverse of Weirwood. Some people have theorized that Iron wood paste is what is used to make Shade of the evening

winter*fell. *fell* =geman ->*Fur* i guess it's meant to mean, that it's the only plase you can find warmth/protection during Winter.

The crypts are a mystery as they seem to imply they are built with a certain amount of occupants in mind. If the lower levels are collapsed then shouldn't repair work be underway? Fishier than Sister's Stew.

The wolves are my favorite! Love them🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

You are my girl! Some of the best analyses in the seven kingdoms.

True Love thank you!

Just found your channel. Love your voice! Great content as well!

"There should always be a Stark at Winterfell"

A hall is a hall, a woman is a woman, a dog is a dog. thank you for clarifying the apparent to us simpletons

Lion, dragon or wolf it matters not to the night king. All will fall

for sure something is there, and Jon who dreams of the crypt will find out.

Tv show shows less the importance of Winterfell than the books... in the books crypts of Winterfell are most mysterious place in which only few people can enter.... (for example the conquerers didnt went down there, or couldnt)... also no one knows whats on the lower levels, and also i think Rickon (in the books) talked about seeing Ned down there (after his execution)... Winterfell is definitely everything but an ordinary castle... too bad we dont have much infos, only some clues here and there... Btw i liked your video, it made me remember some stuff from books which i find interesting :)

I do think that the Night King will fall at Winterfell. Bran will warg Viserion and Jon will have lightbringer when Mellissandre makes the ultimate sacrifice.

It is so sad that Ned and Robb are not in the crypts. That's where they were meant to be placed.

alright grey...looking forward to this series!! 🐺

I think Storm’s end is like u said: where storms end. The Wall is a wall. High Tower is a high tower. But I think Winterfell is where winter fell 8,000 years ago. As in The Others came & were defeated & so winter fell on the field of battle. But I think the King of the North knew The Others would return 1 day & so The Stark words are a warning: Winter is coming. But when it comes, Winter will fall. About Ned’s siblings... his brother was momentarily Lord of Winterfell since I think he died moments after his father. And his sister was a Princess. And if the theories about Rhaegar being alive are true then Lyanna would technically have been a Queen.

great work once again Milady. I've always believed winterfell is where the ice Dragon died

Ser_Dustin_Wolfsbane thank you!!

fell4 ADJECTIVE literary Of terrible evil or ferocity; deadly. ‘the fell disease that was threatening her sister’ More example sentences ‘Sometimes, the wind also brought unnervingly fell sounds with it, as if a chorus of unholy demons was singing in the distance.’

I like the idea that Winter is a name...that makes so much sense. GRRM doesn't input anything into a story for no reason, so the whole night king/ night queen has to have SOME place in this story. A few people are suggesting Winter is the Night Queen and I dig that. But "Winter is coming" sounds like that makes it the Night Kings name. But assuming the Night Queen is buried in Winterfell and the Night king is Winter that is coming for her (maybe hoping to resurrect her like Jon) why would the Starks want to keep her body in the crypts? Was she a Stark? Did she have a brother like Ned who wanted to put her body there? If so, maybe when Winter first came they were coming for her, but now that Lyanna is there Winter is coming for her. Except maybe Winter is different this time...maybe he's Lyanna's man (Rhaegar). I know it sounds crazy but the walkers look Targaryan. Nevermind. Doesn't really make sense.

What if the crypt is basically a Vault for the people to hide when the Winter comes?

*7🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺7* Lady StoneHeart was a Stark by the kings decree and birthed Stark children. She is also back from the dead due to the same magic that has awakened all things previously lost to the world. She has unfinished buisness and is a part of our story. Might she have part in protecting whats left of her family and Winterfell?
