[[WMG:The Coal Boy works for Littlefinger and Littlefinger will have a cameo/stinger at the end of the game]]
The Coal Boy claims he is working for someone and helps Mira out far too much to be just a friend looking out for her. As shown with Sera, even her friends are scared to help her because of the danger she's brought upon herself. He's also exceptionally skilled, being able to sneak into Tyrion's chambers and take out Damien single-handedly if Mira abandons him. Littlefinger probably hired him to act as a spy, listening in on nobles while pretending to tend to the coals. Additionally, assisting Mira in breaking the Whitehills can be interpreted as an attack on the Boltons, cutting off one of their patron houses who supplies them with weapons. Of the people in King's Landing, Littlefinger is the only one who will benefit from this since he wants to be Warden of the North

With open warfare now having broken out between the Whitehills and the Foresters (with Ramsey explicitly making clear that they will not be allowed to negotiate for peace, and will have to [[DuelToTheDeath fight until only one house is left standing]]), and Gryff having been released by the traitor, there is simply [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no reason for Ludd to keep Ryon alive any longer]]. He will most likely have him killed right in front of his own family in their next encounter, as a means of psychological warfare to fill them with grief and throw them off balance.

[[WMG:The pit fighters that followed Asher back to Westeros will turn out to be useless]]
Even if [[spoiler:Asher survives]] to command and keep a leash on the [[PsychoForHire clearly unhinged and murderous]] pit fighters without them running off to RapePillageAndBurn the countryside for fun, remember what Jon said to Ygritte about the Wildling army:
-> ''"You don't have the discipline. You don't have the training. You're army is no army. You don't know how to fight together.''"
The pit fighters have spent the entire lives fighting in blood sport as individual fighters, who fights to entertain the crowd, they don't even have basic understanding in small unit tactics, let along anything that requires detailed planning. When they are used as part of a military unit, they will quickly fall apart.

* As noted in the [[Fridge/TelltalesGameOfThrones Fridge Brilliance entry for the game]], if you read her backstory, Lady Elissa's backstory was essentially the same as that of [[BreakTheCutie Sansa]] in the show. From her perspective, her house of original stayed loyal to the Targaryen as was their duty and went to war against Robert's Rebellion. Her entire family except for her brother got wiped out, and she was taken against her will to be married off to a person that, while might not be directly responsible, still belongs to the faction that murdered her entire family. Put yourself in her shoes, even if it turns out that Gregor is a good man (and that unlike Ramsay, didn't force himself on her in their wedding night), upon her husband's death, what reason does she have to be loyal to his house's legacy whatsoever? She most likely loves and cares for her children (As noted by Cersei, a mother have no choice but to love her own children), but not for Ironwood, not for House Forester, and is only concerned with keeping them alive,even if it means they will effectively get reduced to basically the same level as the common smallfolk.
** The flashback sequence will have you playing as young Elissa, to see the fall of her house from her perspective. Her family killed, her lands taken away, and her personally dragged off kicking and screaming to be married off as a reward to some lord in the North. Making this a case of GreyAndGrayMorality and her betrayal a lot more understandable.

[[WMG: Maester Ortengryn is the traitor]]
* In the first act, when deciding how to deal with the Boltons, Ortengryn suggests to sell them all the ironwood despite how this would ruin the Forresters and give the Whitehills the entire ironwood market. He's trying to deceive Ethan into giving the Whitehills exactly what they want
* His backstory claims that he had no intention to be stationed at Ironrath. Additionally, this makes him the newest member to the council and the one with the least attachment to the Forresters
* If you choose to make Ramsay leave his soldiers behind the gate, they somehow get in anyway. The only person who can open the gate is Ortengryn since Lady Forrester and the Sentinel are both in the room with you

* Episode 4 shows that the Whitehills are not as entirely bad as they first appear, despite their blatant antagonism toward House Forester. They have a proud history, were once close with House Forester, and their family was large and happy once, and Lord Whitehill can demonstrates that despite everything, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he does care for his children]]. However, the death of Lady Whitehill ([[DeathByChildbirth implied giving birth to Gryff]]) seems to have soured them. [[FreudianExcuse Lord Whitehill took her death pretty hard, and Gryff was tormented by his older siblings for being seen as responsible for their mother's death]].

*** Seems more likely by season 4. The Whitehills' slow and horrible craftsmanship is remarked on again and again, and Ramsay returns to Ironrath at the end of the episode to meet with Rodrick. Depending on how you approached him in episode 1 he might originally have proposed a trial period to see which house could handle the ironwood better. If so, the Whitehills should definitely be straining Roose's, and by extension Ramsay's, patience with their shoddy work despite all the goodwill they've been shown.

* Doubtful. She seems too collected when Rodrick returns for him to have actually hurt her, doing so would be an idiot move if he's hoping to make some kind of deal with Rodrick, and we don't actually have any reason to think that he's into younger girls. He seemed more interested in [[TheMostDangerousGame taking her "hunting"]] than abusing her sexually when he threatened to take her as his ward.

* It should be noted as well that Asher is attempting to get the Second Sons mercenary company to return to Westeros with him, and in Episode 7 of Season 5, Stannis and Davos mention the Second Sons deserting from their camp outside Winterfell. This implies that 1) The Second Sons (and presumably Asher) make it to Westeros, and 2) Either accomplish their goal and move on to Stannis, or were biding their time with Stannis before moving on to the Forresters. Though this assumes the show and the game are in that close of collusion, and that they didn't both just pluck the Second Sons from the books haphazardly.
