A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

If she does ever amass a force in Westeros it seems likely at this point that she'd need the help of Victarion, which would make her a bad guy in many people's eyes.

vs

Targaryen, Tyrell, Martell, Darry, Ryger, Mooton, Goodbrook, Connington, Cafferen, Fell, Grandison, Grafton

Not if you think the Targaryen's are the rightful ruling family of Westeros!

.

Martell sent a token force under Lewyn Martell (Kingsguard) of 10000 soldiers. Doran/Oberyn themselves did not participate nor did the bulk of Dornish forces. The Tyrells were fully committed but spent almost the entirety of their time/forces ineptly besieging Storm's End. Aerys II was basically doomed once Connington didn't go all Tywin Lannister when he occupied Stoney Sept.

Of course, it appears to be setting up for Arianne to (try to) betroth Aegon Targaryen (Blackfyre) and the Tyrells are, currently at least, fighting for the Baratheon/Lannister line. How Baelish/Sansa will align is unknown but won't be with the Baratheon/Lannisters (I am hoping they back Aegon but Baelish has stayed uncommitted thus far and may remain so). The North is likely lost to Bolton/Lannister because even if they win the upcoming battle with Stannis, without fake!arya and numerous treacherous allies, they simply can't sustain any real challenge. Jon Connington knows a secret entrance to Storm's End so the Baratheon homelands will be lost. That leaves Tommen Baratheon virtually bereft of allies and vassals outside of the Tyrells which are not the most loyal of friends. There is also the enigmatic phrase from Jon Connington about friends in the great council which most probably is Randyll Tarly (Sam's father), overall commander of the Tyrell forces. Overall, its looking more like Dany will fight Aegon than Tommen, who is probably doomed.

Two people paid $20,000 to be murdered in a 'future' ASoIAF novel by GRRM!

The rest of us can donate for various perks (One of his old hats, signed map of Westeros, etc) and be entered into a drawing for a chance to have a helicopter tour of the wolf sanctuary with GRRM himself.

Money goes to help a sanctuary for injured/formerly domesticated wolves and wolf hybrids, as well as a Food Bank (not related to the wolf sanctuary) in New Mexico.

I tossed in $10, just for a chance at the drawing.

If I win, I solemnly swear to uphold one of the statements I made on FoH. (If you could fight anyone in history, who would it be? To which, I responded, GRRM, while his precious Paris watched)

If I was gonna pay 20 grand, it would be to be in one of his novels and NOT be killed. There's nothing special about being killed in a GRRM story.

If you get to choose how your character dies, just pick old age!

I want my character killed in a fit of jealous rage by Jorah Mormont after a night of acrobatic and exhausting sex with khaleesi.

My character would die of Diabeetus. While working on an unfinished novel. That would be worth 20k.

This guy has theories about the Others and where the story is leading in the end. I like his theories. They are good theories.

The true nature and purpose of the Others and the ending of the series (Spoilers All) : asoiaf

Some level of a Crippled God situation seems inevitable.

I would be okay with almost everything in that reddit post.

Pretty interesting theory, I wonder if Ygritte will end up being his "Other" bride?

Ygritte would not be an Other, she would be a wight. The Others are seemingly transformed, wights are resurrected.

I think the Other bride would be some yet to be introduced character. Plus they burn Ygritte's body.
