Secretly Dying: Jon Connington, of greyscale.

It's also strongly implied that Rhaegar and Lyanna had one of these, and a common fan theory is that they are Jon Snow's actual parents.

There's another between Renly and Loras - aside from a few pointed comments by other characters (e.g., Jaime Lannister threatening to stick Loras' sword 'somewhere even Renly couldn't find'), the only confirmation has been from Word of God.

Tyrion knows from the beginning, the reader finds it out from Bran's POV, and a lot of the book is about Ned gradually uncovering the secret.

Jaime and Cersei, since incestuous adultery doesn't go over well.The Secret of Long Pork Pies: Wyman Manderly loves a nice hot Frey Pie.Tyrion starts to feel this way about Shae, until she falsely testifies against him for plotting to murder Joffrey, and then when he finds her in his father's bed, he kills her.

PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.

All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.

Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.

Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
