Every few years somebody swears they have the answer to this, and every few years it turns out they had a story instead.
Strip the songs away and it comes to this: whether the dragons came back on purpose. I think it will turn out to be simpler and sadder than the songs have it.
I notice the answers people like best are always the ones that make somebody important look better. That is not proof of anything, but it is a pattern.
It matters less than the harvest, and I will still be arguing about it at midwinter.
