Has anything along these lines been posted in the previous thread, or does anyone know of any spoiler-free site that just explores the stuff that's been shown on tv?
Well I think I have a pretty good grasp on both of these.
1. The BWB worships the Lord of Light because they have a priest with them, Thoros of Myr, who brought back their leader from the dead 6 times.
2. "All men must die". I think it's just a famous line from the old Valyrian religion/culture. Probably pretty common to hear or maybe it's taken some counter culture like meaning. Wouldn't think about it beyond this. I'm sure it'll keep popping up.
