re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

I was about to mention the religious war that looks like it's about ready to break out between The Lord of Light vs The Seven.

Thanks again Cersei.

Seems like the Tyrells may have the most pull with the Seven and Stannis with The Lord of Light.

The people who worship the old gods seem to be indifferent to the other religions, probably because they don't have leaders/priests fricking everything up.

The Lannisters are all but finished IMO, thanks to Cersei and Varys.

The Starks Would love to see them make a move but it seems almost impossible for them to get their shite together in time.

Petyr Baelish Has become a contender through scheming and looks to possibly control much north of Harrenhal. Nothing but tears for Littlefinger in the end IMO.

Stannis Baratheon Does he continue his crusade for the throne no matter what or will he be willing to bend the knee if Melisandre advises him to?

The Targaryens Aegon/Daenerys will obviously be big players in the end, it's hard to see how this is going to shake out.

The Lannisters are done, except for Jaime and Tyrion. Cersei is toast and will die. Not sure about Tommen or Myrcella, but them too . I could also see Jaime potentially dying, but being recognized properly by the public as more than a kingslayer and being at peace with his legacy. I think Tyrion has the best shot of the Lannisters to live through the whole series.

Littlefinger is going to die too, probably at a point when he think he's going to have it all/at his highest point of the series. I think a Stark should kill him...lots of speculation points to either Uncat or Sansa.

As for the Starks, I think Jon, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon need to reunite, but not sure how probable that will be. They all seem to be leading their own lives/paths, still scattered.

I have a feeling Dany will die. Wouldn't it be too predictable for her to get the throne easily? I think would be left annoyed if that happened. And please, no Jon/Dany wedding .

I don't want Jon to die (again).

Could you imagine ILuv's reaction?

Though I could see Jamie dying, I could also see him living. His redemption arc is going pretty strong and he's started using his brain and negotiating now that he doesn't have his right hand. I think that arc may have a bit further to go yet.

And speaking of developments with Jamie in the later books, has this thread hashed out speculation over Briennne's "word" to UnCat and the brotherhood to get her off of the noose? I haven't seen it discussed but I haven't been on here since the very beginning.

I've seen several good theories floating around out there on the internet. But if I had to take shot I think I'd go with something like "Oathbreaker" said to UnCat to remind her that she swore an oath to Brienne not to stop her from seeking revenge on Stannis and I think she also swore an oath to protect Brienne as a lord protects those sworn to him/her.

Me too. Always been a brunette man.

Where do the Drowned God and the Others come in to play? I can't shake the ffeling that the Lord of Light (fire) will come in to play against the Whitewalkers

Anything outside the old gods of the North, the Lord of Light, and the Seven are small time players in Westeros.

Don't know shite about the others or how they are to be defeated... I look at them like aliens at this point.

What do they want and why?

What is their relationship with the children of the forest and the greenseers?

I think practically everyone knows my theory on this already but ill state again for those who may not.

In the beginning the children and the others were sole inhabitants of westeros and bitter enemies. They fought endless and countless wars between each other with neither faction gaining the upper hand for any meaningful amount of time (remember time is different for these practically age less beings and a thousand years to them may be what a decade or less is to us)

In the midst of an era that saw the pendulum swing in favor of the children the first men landed on a westeros that the others had been pushed out of. The first men waged war with the children only to fight to a stalemate that was marked with the signing of The Pact on the isle of faces. The signing of this treaty ushered in the Age of Heroes.

Somewhere in the middle of the Age of Heroes two things happened. The Andals arrived and the Others returned. Now it's unclear the order in which these two occurred but one can surmise that the long night occurred pre-andal. Anyway the others were pushed back once again by the children but this time with the help of the first men. And with a coalition of forces they saw the wall built to protect all future generations from the Other threat.

When the Andals came with the iron weapons and armor the first men were pushed north of the neck and te children were forced north of the wall.


So in present day we now have two bitter peoples who have been forced from their homes by foreign invaders and now who once were enemies are allies to retake their home for the sake of survival.

Their even being led by a man who gave his all to the realm and in return was ostracized, thrown in prison and then eventually forced into an "honor guard" to spend the rest of his days with the thieves and rapers.
