See in store for T's and C's. The I'm going to do. Hey Jimmy have a good raven today. We can dive into it. This comes to us from Lord Robert of House Blackbird.

1:04.8

Okay, so diving back into sort of the main series of a song of Ice and Fire.

1:10.6

Dear Sirs, let's talk about Craster. I understand why the Night Watch tolerates him. He is a necessary

1:17.3

evil, plus he is not with mance and he provides information. What I don't understand about him is why the others need his sons.

1:27.2

We know that they are in some, they are in need of some kind of a gene that is in the Starks, right, you know, along with a sort of Night Kings theory.

1:36.0

I suppose that's what they're trying, what they're trying to get is perhaps a war,

1:40.0

greenseer, magical blood to empower their numbers. From what we know, there is no clue why they would need

1:47.2

inbred sons of some of a bastard wildling craster unless he has some sort of special gene or power in his bloodline.

2:22.0

Lord Robert of House, Blackbird.

2:25.1

Well, Robert, thank you for that, Raven. I think that this is a pretty interesting one and I don't know if we'll ever have the true answers for this.

2:58.8

You know, Krasster giving up his kids is one of the more interesting things. Like in the show we do it, you know, everything happens, but basically the same. But for some reason in the books, I have always found it to be a lot more interesting whenever I read it and part of the reason is because the whites are much different in the books in some ways you know they are they seem more intelligent than they do in the show, less zombie and more, almost mythical in a way. So I don't know why they're taking Craster's kids specifically.

3:03.0

Is it just the best, you know, constant churning out of people they have

3:06.7

that they can turn into whites possibly?

3:09.7

Is there a special gene required?

3:11.4

And who is Craster's father? and where is his lineage come from?
