* [[Rule of Three]]:
** In ''A Storm of Swords'', there's a detailed description of how Robb bids farewell to Jeyne Westerling thrice before departing to his uncle Edmure's wedding, {{spoiler|which turns into the Red Wedding, making it the last time the couple bid farewell to each other.}}
** Jaqen's life debt to Arya plays out as a [[Wasteful Wishing|"wasting the first two of your three wishes"]] plot familiar to lots of [[GEGenie Niin Ea Bottle]] stories.
** The [[Rule of Three]] runs through Dany's whole story - contrast the Rule Of Seven in the Westeros chapters. She's one of three children (as are a lot of past Targaryen generations), she has three bloodriders, three handmaids, three dragons, three ships. She sends her bloodriders out from Vaes Tolorro to find civilisation, and only the third succeeds, returning with three envoys from Qarth, only the third of which is any help. The Undying's prophecy is stacked to the gills with threes - the famous line that "the dragon has three heads", along with "three fires must you light, one for life and one for death and one to love... three mounts must you ride: one to bed and one to dread and one to love... three treasons will you know: once for blood and once for gold and once for love". She conquers three Ghiscari cities, settling in the third.
