Hello, and welcome to the Nauticast podcast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through a song of ice and fire.

I'm one of your hosts Emmett, also known as Poor Quentin.

And I'm your other host, Manu, also known as Manucleur Bomb.

And welcome to the 215th episode of the Nauticast titled Underworld, an analysis of a storm

of swords, Sansa 6, in which Littlefinger, the protagonist of the story, shows Sansa around

his beautiful estate before the woman he loves shows up to whisk them all away to a happy ending,

which would be great if any word of that was true.

Especially the part about Littlefinger being the protagonist of the story when it's so clearly

lies I, Aaron.

I'm so glad she's back, our favorite character, to grace the stage until falling from it in the very next answer chapter.

So our spoiler winning, as always, prepare to be spoiled for all five A Song of Ice and Fire novels,

the three Dunkin' Egg novellas, any histories, interviews, wins-of-winner sample chapters, as well as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon the TV shows. Anything and everything. Our question this episode comes from our patron Michael B, who asks, has anyone realized that Little Finger could be a three-eyed crow? Peter has a near-death experience with Brandon, like Brands Fall, and his mockingbird self-styled

symbol says a lot. And that's interesting. I'm always on the hunt for more a Blood Raven

protege, since I love the theory that Uron is one of those. I think if it's anyone in the

veil, though, my vote would be sweet Robin. What do you think? Oh, that would be great. Like he's also broken in his own way. He likes making people fly. He's up there

at the top of the mountain. You know, it's kind of got the Blood Raven vibe. I don't think it's

actually true. But I think if it's, if I'm going to go in on someone in the veil, being a secret

blood Raven protege, my vote, sweet Robin. Yeah, I think that's good. As for this question, I don't think Littlefinger is obviously the three-eyed crow.

He is trying to serve that purpose in a clearly political and non-supernatural mystical realm

in the sense of kind of being the guy behind the scenes who's trying to puppet everyone else.

I like that.

That's about the extent of the metaphor that I can draw out. He has a stark child as a protege. But, you know, he's trying to accomplish things and he's like fighting the war he thinks that needs to be fought. It's just a completely personal individual war for his own glory. You know, maybe Blood Raven has some of that's, you know, selfishness in him too a little bit still.
