I think due to Winter there will be a Kingdom of the North and a Kingdom of the South in Westoros.
Dragons don't do well in the cold and winter is coming. |

Yeah, I know, but I wanted to be super-especially careful. If nothing else, I know more about medieval history than probably anyone here, and it is, at its core, based on the Wars of the Roses.

Is the right to the throne determined by capability or power? Interesting question as I don't have any quibbles with Dany, but Tyrion is a sage adviser at the least and a fair and just ruler at best, compared to Dany who has 3 bad mofos on retainer and can walk through flames. They'd be a great alliance, but can alliances endure at that level? Or does someone always have to be Mozart and someone always Saliere?

Compare with Tyrion, Baelish, or even Jon who are more reasoned and less susceptible to square peg round hole thinking. Jon even sacrificed short term power for a long term goal. The Nights Watch needs able bodies to fight The Others, so he granted amnesty to the Wildlings. TLDR: She is basically a less psychotic Ramsay than a Tywin. |

IOW: if you back people into a corner don't be surprised when they resist with violence and don't care that much for you no matter how righteous your cause is. Last edited by GloucesterChief; 05-28-2016 at 04:41 PM.. |

Daenerys Targaryen, 'Mother of Dragons,' Daenerys the 'Unburnt,' is Azor Ahai returned.
She fulfills the ancient prophecy: Star, Salt, Smoke, Sword, Sacrifice, Dragon, Blood. With Daenerys' brother dead, that makes her the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. The big twist may be that Jon Snow and Daenerys share the same noble mother. Interestingly, Snow slightly fits into Azor Ahai's prophecy - The magic sword, coming back from the dead. Will we eventually see him riding one of Daenerys' dragons in the future? Glad they brought back the Dothraki storyline. Got to love the muscularly men.
