Surprised GRRM allow such a big thing to happen. Kind of overshadows the dragons of the TV Series. Jesus Christicles, that'll be awesome, though. Unless of course, it started as a metaphor for an oddly shaped mountain or something and was exaggerated until people thought it was alive. That would be the most anticlimactic ending of all time. Besides, there is precedent for Ice dragons, as shown in the quote I posted earlier.

Of any of the protagonists, right now, I think Gared is the only one likely to die by the end of this season.

Yeah, I reckon they're actually going to keep the remaining Forresters alive for Season Two. If there is one. If it's about the Forresters. I think Telltale's playing the long game and Episode 2 proved they can keep players captivated without having shock deaths. TAKE A HINT, THE WALKING DEAD.

Very true, the choices were hard, the characters great, the tension high, and yet no one died, that never happened in any episode of TWD.

Oh no... I can't go on knowing sell-sword numbers 1 through 6 didn't make it! Oh, and maybe that asshole Lannister guard, but who cares, this episode has a shockingly low body count, not that I am complaining, I mean I really like it when Telltale develops characters instead of, you know, murdering them all! I mean I was so sure Malcolm was fucked, but nope, nice one Telltale!

Hey, I keep hearing the phrase Ice Dragon tossed about, is that a thing? Because no where in the history of Westeros or the mainline books did it ever, ever say Ice Dragon.

You haven't read the world of ice and fire book then. Furthermore, GRRM did write a story about an ice dragon before he wrote ASOIAF. I have a quote on the previous page from the world of ice and fire. Check it out.

Oh and I have read a huge portion of World of Ice and Fire (great book by the way, great images) but I have not finished it yet, is there a specificpage I should look for?

I have a digital copy so I can't give you a page number. It is towards the end of the book, on the section about the shivering sea.

Okay. I may have just found something huge related to the whole north grove plot. Spoilers for the world of Ice and Fire, as well as possible spoilers for the final episode (nothing from the files, so this could all be useless. ) The last episode is titled ice dragon.
And apparently, there's a possibility they actually exist. From the world of ice and fire:
“Of all the queer and fabulous denizens of the Shivering Sea (basically the ocean that's north east of the wall,) however, the greatest are the ice dragons. These colossal beasts, many times larger than the dragons of Valyria, are said to be made of living ice, with eyes of pale blue crystal and vast translucent wings through which the moon and stars can be glimpsed as they wheel across the sky. Whereas common dragons (if any dragon can truly be said to be common) breathe flame, ice dragons supposedly breathe cold, a chill so terrible that it can freeze a man solid in half a heartbeat. Sailors from half a hundred nations have glimpsed these great beasts over the centuries, so mayhaps there is some truth behind the tales. Archmaester Margate has suggested that many legends of the north—freezing mists, ice ships, Cannibal Bay, and the like—can be explained as distorted reports of ice-dragon activity. Though an amusing notion, and not without a certain elegance, this remains the purest conjecture. As ice dragons supposedly melt when slain, no actual proof of their existence has ever been found.”
Note: italics are me, bold is my emphasis.
Take from this what you will.
I see....... well then maybe Ice Dragons have a connection with the North Grove? But that really doesn't explain what the North Grove even is, or why the hell it must never fall for House Forrester to live, hell do we even know if it's beyond the wall?

Picture this: Asher riding up to Highpoint on the back of a motherducking ice dragon. GG, house whitehill.
