Ser Arlan is quite the knight. Dunk really knows how to tell a story about him.
Also heartbreaking to see Dunk sell his horse Sweetfoot. With all the lessons Dunk is giving to Egg it would have been nice if Egg could have seen that one. Although it was also a tender moment between a man and his horse, so maybe that was the best version.
I'm a little confused why Egg asked to be put down off of Dunk's shoulders during the opening joust. He looked at his hands, and then asked to be put down, but I couldn't figure out why.
::: spoiler Novella spoilers
I'm assuming he wanted to get down so he wouldn't be recognized, but no one seemed to recognize him.
I also like when Dunk asked him how he knew about Ser (? Crabs). Just likes fishing, no other reason.
::: spoiler I don't know how spoilers work but...
Do we know where the other novellas might take place? I listened to the ASX stream at work today, and knew about the She-Wolves of Winterfell, and something in the Riverlands, which has a working title now?
And the last chapter...
But if it's a dozen, we know six locations so far.
So we have three Dunk & Egg stories so far, and 12 other stories that have at least a sentence or so that outline what that story is.
There are two "confirmed" novellas,
The She-Wolves of Winterfell, which based on the name probably takes place at Winterfell.
The Village Hero, which is said to be taking place in the riverlands.
Now it's possible those, having titles and being written somewhat, exist on top of the 12, but lets say they were 2, so we have 10 left.
The Wall, at the end of The Sworn Sword that's where Egg wants to go and Dunk also thinks that maybe his father is there.
Oldtown & Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, Maester Aemon lives there, they visit him in a line of text, and we know Dunk escorts him to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea.
King's Landing, Egg becomes King and Dunk Kingsguard. They have to be there at some point.
Wendwater Bridge, the climax during the Fourth Blackfyre rebellion where Dunk brings it to an end. I don't expect the story to be during the rebellion, but probably just after.
Storm's End, at some point Dunk has to fight Lyonel Baratheon after one of Eggs kids refuses a marriage.
King's Landing (Winter), Dunk loses to a young Barristan Selmy at a tourney.
Summerhall, the tragedy that ends our heroes stories.
So that's 7, roughly maybe in order.
But also at some point he has to do something "Tarth" related because Brienne is somehow secretly related to him.
So that's two more free squares that I don't really have any ideas about without just making things up completely. So let's have them travel to Essos for a little bit.

Want to baselessly speculate?
