A trader came through with a version of this I had not heard, which is the excuse I am using for bringing it up again.

The question, put plainly: how the Long Night ended the first time. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.

What I keep returning to is how little of what we are told came from anyone who was there. It is all copies of copies, and each copy had a lord paying for the ink.

It matters less than the harvest, and I will still be arguing about it at midwinter.
