Hello everyone! I don't have anything intelligent of my own to add, but I did just stumble upon this youtube playlist that may be of interest to all the Dayne fans out there (cough, voice , cough).

This person doesn't claim that SAD is Jon's dad (though his theory doesn't conflict with this idea, and I'd be tempted to modify it accordingly), but he has some surprisingly well supported ideas regarding the three KG and their current whereabouts. In short, the suggestion is that all three are still alive, and are present-day Mance Rayder, Qhorin Halfhand (RIP), and Tormund Giantsbane. I know, it sounds crazy, but he's fairly convincing. Really worth checking out, IMO!
Have we considered Mance = Arthur before??
I must admit, I've only seen the first two videos so far - but I liked them enough that I felt the need to share! It seems like an angle that hasn't been considered, or at least not one I have come across before.
(I know, Ned says only two lived to ride away.. but that could be interpreted numerous ways. The three men guarding the tower are indeed dead; three different men went North to finish Rhaegar's work of preparing Men to fight the Others. Also, maybe they didn't ride away, maybe they walked. And the cairns... well, Ned never said all of them had bodies underneath, did he? )
If this theory were true, it would lead to soooo many other interesting possibilities. Perhaps Rhaegar was just as "able" as Barristan thought (aside from getting killed, lol) and had this whole thing planned out well ahead of time; maybe BR was in on the plan, possibly even Varys who looked after his other son. Dany seems like a bit of a wild card, but then again, maybe he dreamed of her leading a great Dothraki host, and that's why Illyrio was comfortable giving her to Drogo. Sadly, I have limited time at the moment, but I'd love to hear some others' opinions!!
