I don't know if I love or hate this theory.
On one hand, the encyclopedia released this year confirmed that Meera and Jon are the same age and wow, what an added twist to what would already be one of the greatest twists in fantasy. On the other hand, one could argue that it streamlines one of fantasy's best twists (R + L = J) into Star Wars. Last edited by Chiefspants; 08-31-2015 at 10:18 PM.. |

I just don't see why this matters, if it's true. Okay fine, they're siblings. Great. How does that change/excite/provoke/improve the story? What difference does it make?
I'm not against it in any way. I just don't see what the point would be. |

So yeah, could have a big impact. Which is why it doesn't feel true to me. I've never gotten any impression in the books or show that she is anything other than a bit player meant to get Bran to the three-eyed crow, and a possible love interest for Bran. |

It would make Lyanna's death in childbirth make a lot more sense (I always wondered about that and couldn't believe Rhaegar would have left her at ToJ without a maester to attend her*). It would explain why Jojen had abilities and Meera does not, and also explain some of Jojen's protective behavior towards her (and placing her safety above his). It would explain the odd coincidence of Meera and Jon's ages and listings in the books.

Yeah....way more easy to die in child birth from twins than just a normal birth.

Well, it means Jon Snow could ACTUALLY be dead. it means she is the potential third head, as I think someone already said. It changes the story in adding a new, character who is positioned in the correct area to combat the white walkers, who is hanging out with the people who best know how to deal with the walkers and can benefit from their knowledge - as well as the supernatural abilities of Bran and Bloodraven.
