Alys is allegedly a bastard of the Sturdy household, though it is not truly clear who sired her. The historian narrator within the supply materials, “Hearth & Blood,” mentions some hypothesis that Alys is the daughter of Lyonel Sturdy, which might make her the half-sister of each Larys Sturdy (a.ok.a. Clubfoot) and Ser Harwin Sturdy. There are some issues with this idea, nonetheless — primarily that Alys seems a lot youthful than her supposed forty years, and that she’s closely imagined to be a witch.Â
One other idea from Mushroom, a dwarf jester on Rhaenyra’s aspect who’s secretly recording all his ideas on the Dance of Dragons, is that she’s “a malign enchantress who bathed within the blood of virgins to protect her youth.” Mushroom additionally believes that Alys was far older than the opposite sources declare, believing Alys to have been “moist nurse to each [Larys and Harwin], even perhaps to their father a era earlier.”
The e book additionally provides consideration to how all of Alys’ youngsters had been stillborn, which spurred theories on the time that she’s “a witch who lay with demons, bringing forth lifeless youngsters as fee for the information they gave her.” The “Hearth & Blood” narrator does not give a lot credence to this idea, however Mushroom followers know that the dwarf’s testimonies all the time are likely to have at the very least a shred of reality to them, at the very least so far as the “Home of the Dragon” canon is worried. From what we have seen of TV Alys up to now, she undoubtedly appears to be dabbling in witchcraft.Â
