Re: Something I totally missed first time through Cannoli Send a noteboard - 16/07/2011 01:24:23 AM
Commentators on Westeros have accumulated a fair amount of evidence that Ramsay castrated Theon (most notably because Theon gets confused when Ramsay tells him to get Jeyne warmed up for him and he says, "But I don't..." ). Owch :( And possibly bad news for Asha's plan, if Theon can't father an heir. Although he did get that girl pregnant in ACoK, so that could be a get-out clause.


I think he even comes out and says that he castrated him, using a euphemism IIRC, but the context left no doubt. I think he said something about taking three of your fingers and the "other thing."
