The Forgotten Magical Creatures of A Song of Ice and Fire

[Herbert]

There is a lot of stuff in the world of ice and fire that is easy to miss it makes the novels even more interesting to read. I disagree on some bits though.

I think George has given sooo much attention to the iron islands that its nearly impossible for us not to see some form of the deep ones or some strange race from the sea. In the novels we've had 3 POVs from the ironborne perspective, Damphair, Victarion and Theon . The Iron islands also get more pages in the world of ice and fire than any other region. That can't be a coincidence. And when you consider other things like Davos' encounter with Lord Borrell on sweetsister. And the mention of the the mark in regards to the webbing on the hands. In the grand scheme of things how important was it to show Davos landing at Sweetsister? Why not just have him end up at white harbor? When winter gets truly underway we are going to see a lot of strange stuff. I'd like to think that there is a reason why they have "The Others" and the "White Walkers". I think it's possible that these phrases don't always mean the same thing.
