The 9 Greatest Unsolved Game of Thrones Mysteries

Finally: Book and show fans all have the same burning questions that only GRRM can answer. (Contains SPOILERS for those not caught up!)

Watch more Game of Thrones mysteries here:

[ViolentaShadow]

the biggest mystery of all: What exactly did Podrick do in that brothel?

[dorsal-qbfr]

If the Hound is still alive then I guess there WAS a maester hiding behind that rock.

[longjohnteabag]

Podrick Payne will end up on the Iron Throne. Mark my words.

[lordmaximus]

what was that book fans?! you don't know either?!!?

[Iadad]

no need for r+l=j the whole damn world knows who his parents are but Jon Snow...oh he knows nothing.

[Godfather_Al]

well syrio forel said 'the first sword of bravos does not run'. and meryn trant was alive afterward so we can be sure of his fate.

[ICantSplel]

Where's Robert Baratheon's bastard, last seen on a boat, never to be seen again... Or did I miss something.

[Gornodd]

Also "who is Coldhands?" One of my favourite figures

[iikingthunder]

It's simple... Jon Snow is Azor Ahai

[vedantkandalgaonkar]

two more:What did podrick do with the girls n why did the white walkers not kill sam?

[elizabethwear]

Most of these are not very big mysteries; a couple of them are, but fan speculation has arrived at some pretty strong answers for the others. Here is a list of some even bigger mysteries for you that are not quite so nailed down:
Where is the Blackfish?
What is the deal with the Darkstar?
What is the deal with Quaithe?
Who is the Valonqar?
What is the deal with Oldtown?
What is Littlefinger's endgame?
Who is Septa Lemore *really*?
What happened when Howland Reed visited the Isle of Faces?
Why is Howland Reed in hiding? What is he up to?
What is the deal with Ashara Dayne?
What is the deal with Coldhands?

Season 6 solved pretty much all of these, in show-story at least.

[ChrisGT]

The red priestess is soo good looking...

[manband]

We all know the answers to the questions after Benjen Stark though...
6. Balon was assassinated. We just never had time until this season to do it.
7. The show confirmed the theory that The Mountain is Ser Robert Strong
8. Whoever you're mentioning isn't Sandor Clegane. It's the Gravedigger Brienne sees walking with a limp.
9. Do I even need to say it... 
And also, Rickon is most likely on Skagos. They mentioned they "tracked him" in the video, but a name is a lot better.

[blackmanscoop]

Jon is the legendary warrior, if he's the son of a targarien and stark he would be the product of a family or fire and ice

[JambaDud]

Jon Snow: Who's my mother?
Ned Stark: Lyanna Stark
That's gonna start off pretty awkward.

[JenLight]

I gotta agree with everyone else. It's never a mystery who Robert Strong is in the books or the show. In the books, Qyburn doesn't come out and go "Hey, Cersei, check it out I totally reanimated The Mountain for you but sorry about the head because probably Dorne" because that would be clunky and stupid. GRRM simply doesn't feel the need to spell every single thing out for his readers. That doesn't make it a mystery. It makes it obvious without being stated.

[JenniferPerkins]

The hulking monster with the vow of silence is OBVIOUSLY the Mountain. When he was injured in the trial by battle scene, he's taken to the maester to try and heal him. Cersei asks the maester if he can save him. He says perhaps, but he may never be the same....
