Hugor of the hill (aka hukko) killed the swan maidens as a sacrifice, George is secretly telling us that hugor nissa nissa’d his wife and that he is the same figure as huzor amai and azor ahai

What are some professions you'd like to see explored by a POV character in Westeros? George once said he considered a lawyer type character to explore the laws of the Seven Kingdom more. I also think a Stepton might be interesting.

any of them really. it's strange that there's barely any mention of any sort of professional/middle class in westeros, even though we know they exist. we really only ever hear about the peasants and the nobility. but there are whole families of bankers, craftsmen, merchants etc.

Sounds like in Elric when yrkoon kidnaps cymoril and he has to search a foreign continent to get her back (and he eventually ends up killing her with a magic sword too)
