Styr, magnar of Thenn.

Question, why exactly are the Thenns cannibals?

Just...was it a need? A religion? Did they have nutrient deficiencies, needed meat and couldn't find any? Is it a Burial Practice? I'm just so freaking curious...

Jon hobbled across to Satin and grabbed him by the shoulder. "With me," he shouted. Together they moved to the north parapet, where the King's Tower looked down on the gate and Donal Noye's makeshift wall of logs and barrels and sacks of corn. The Thenns were there before them. They wore halfhelms, and had thin bronze disks sewn to their long leather shirts. Many wielded bronze axes, though a few were chipped stone. More had short stabbing spears with leaf-shaped heads that gleamed redly in the light from the burning stables. They were screaming in the Old Tongue as they stormed the barricade, jabbing with their spears, swinging their bronze axes, spilling corn and blood with equal abandon while crossbow quarrels and arrows rained down on them from the archers that Donal Noye had posted on the stair.

The Thenns finally attack Castle Black!

The hardest part about doing this challenge is being aware of who else has illustrated A Storm of Swords, especially when you're aware of their takes on the scene you're drawing. I can claim my style is different or I have different goals, but deep down I know I'll never be as good as Charles Vess! (Though I like to think I'm a slightly better researcher.)

I'm pretty sure I haven't shown the Thenns yet. I haven't even shown Styr because I got him mixed up with Tormund!

Since I've been listening to Otyken recently, I've been having a renewed interest in Siberian costumes. The Thenn are the closest thing to civilization there is beyond the Wall. I figured I should make them look the part.

(I just realized they should be wearing half-helms. Just assume these are ornate and well-decorated half-helms.)

Would the Thenns practice thraldom?

They might though I doubt their valley can sustain the additional numbers.

Thanks for the question, anon

Countdown to 1r0n anniversary (39/73) - favourite moment in every episode: Styr questions Ygritte’s loyalty and Ygritte states she’ll kill Jon - The Watchers on the Wall (4x09)

Jon Snow is mine. Anyone else tries to kill him, I’ll have an arrow for them. And not one of your bald friends is fast enough to stop me. - Ygritte
