I think they should have made this lady from deadwood Catelyn Stark:

Why not just make her edward scissor hands you freak?

Kitchen steward, but I would never join the watch unless I got into some serious trouble or was gelded.

I hate being really cold, so the Watch is OUT.


Which castle would you most like to live in / own? (Westros only)

High Garden sounds dreamy.  I'm sure Casterly Rock is very nice, too.

Of course the Vale is the bomb, but you can't use that rough rider in the winter.

Part of me wants to rebuild Harrenhall and make it the crap again....

[GoodForAnother]

The Eyrie would be pretty legit

Ya, said Vale, but that's what I meant.

You can't use it in the Winter.

oh man, I think I'd go with sunspear. I'd just rough ridin' sitting around eating oranges and wearing tanks and flips and plotting crap like a boss. And then I'd go to a beach or something, because I'm in the most boss kingdom on Westeros.

If I couldn't own sunspear, I'd probably want to go to Braavos. San Francisco meets Venice! A world melting pot! I mean come on!

[Pete]

Sunspear is crawling with snakes and scorpions and crap.

yeah, those are just metaphors for strong sexy women, obviously.

[Asteriskhead]

Rusty has the right of it. Sunspear is the tits. Second choice would be Casterly Rock, and that is only if all the gold is still there.

[Rage Against the McKee]

If we are talking about best places to live, I would say the best are:

1. Highgarden - Green fields and happy people. What's not to like?

2. Sunspear - It's warm and isolated from the bullshit in the rest of Westeros.

3. The Vale - Sure, you can't use the Eyrie in the winter, but it's so badass.

If we are talking about the best castles to be the lord of, then I would say:

1. Casterly Rock - The most money, therefore the most power.

2. Winterfell - You pretty much run things in a very large area. Sure, winter sucks balls, but if you are the lord, you will be taken care of.

3. Highgarden - Sometimes food is more powerful than gold.

I think the worst places would be:

1. The Iron Islands - You have land that cannot be worked and lead a culture of people who pillage for a living and drown themselves.

2. Storm's End - It's a small, rocky province. It sounds pretty boring.

3. Riverrun - It seems like the lord of Riverrun has plenty of power, but it also seems to be the center of most of the fighting, leading to burned fields and hungry people.

[GoodForAnother]

Winterfell also has the sweet hot springs running through the walls keeping it toasty warm

[Asteriskhead]

You forgot Dragonstone, eff Dragonstone.

well, the worst is obviously castle black, if it counts. eff that place. Not even a real castle.

I wasn't counting it, and yes, it would suck balls to live in castle black.

Qarth.  One boob out at all times.

Qarth.  One boob out at all times.

It's not in Westeros.

Side note, and I know this is the book discussion thread, but I was pretty disappointed that Emilia Clarke's boob wasn't out in Qarth in the TV series like it was supposed to be.

Yeah, I was expecting a whole city full of boobs. It wasn't really a big deal, though.

Yeah if one thing is wrong with the show, it's that Emilia Clarke does not show off her boobs enough.

Well, then def High Garden.  Sunspear sounds way too much like AZ.

Does AZ have a beach? no. It's like Palm Springs climate w/ LA's water access.
