- After everyone seeking the Iron Throne obliterates themselves, Walder Frey, being the opportunist that he is, will move to claim it just because there's no one left, then becoming King Walder, the First (at least the first king) of His Name, King of the Andals, and so on and so forth. Two obvious problems, though: he's close to a hundred, and mostly everyone hates him for that stunt he pulled at the twins. You know the one. He'll die of old age, illness, or a terminal case of knife-in-gut just after claiming the Iron Throne. Naturally, it'll be Stevron that would have the strongest claim to take his place as he's the oldest son. But if he and his entire branch die, then all hell breaks loose because he's had so many sons and grandsons, and since half of them are named Walder Frey and there's almost no way to ascertain birth order at this point, House Frey enters into civil war and brothers and cousins start killing each other in the Red Keep. It would be something of a "Shaggy Dog" Story (on a punny and parenthetical note Rickon becomes King in the North after his direwolf comes back to Winterfell and just goes apeshit in the castle, managing to kill the entire current usurping family. There must always be a Stark in Winterfell, after all.) yet it would also see justice done to House Frey, who is probably the one house in- and out-of-universe that nobody likes.
A few speculations on how the characters end up and how the story ends:
• Daenerys comes to Westeros with Victarion and Tyrion, defeats Stannis and the Lannisters and claims the Iron Throne, Barristan Selmy dying in the process. Aegon turns out to be genuine, and he and Daenerys try to rule together but disputes erupt when she refuses to marry him. War between them breaks out which Dany wins, but allows Aegon to live on Dragonstone with his new wife Arianne Martell, even naming their son her heir since she can’t have children.
• Tyrion claims Lordship of Casterly Rock, but the other houses of the Westerlands turn on him. Tyrion wins the resulting battle, but loses his life. He names Bronn as his heir, with the condition that his son Tyrion takes over when he dies.
• Jon Snow survives, and defeats the Others with the help of Daenerys, Bran and Samwell Tarly (who discovered a secret about the Others in a secret library of Oldtown which proves key to their defeat). Jon finds out about his true parentage from Coldhands, who turns out to be Benjen Stark. He refuses to rule with Daenerys as he prefers being Jon Snow, he travels north and becomes the next King-beyond-the-Wall.
• Bran joins the Nights Watch, eventually becoming Lord Commander.
• Stannis will die killing a dragon. Because he’s just awesome like that.
• Arya returns to Westeros with a new face and ends up being the valonqar who kills Cersei, finishing her death list, is captured and killed.
• Tommen and Myrcella die, perhaps when Daenerys takes Kings Landing
• Jaime is arrested, demands trial by combat, but loses. Brienne, heartbroken, devotes her life to finding Arya Stark, and becomes known as the Wandering Knight.
• Melisandre flees east with Shireen when Stannis dies.
• Victarion and Euron turn on each other, with both of them and Theon dying in the process. Asha claims that the Kingsmoot wasn’t valid since Theon wasn’t there, and since no-one else is left with a legitimate claim Asha becomes ruler of the Iron Isles.
• Sansa marries Harold Hardying and takes the North with the knights of the Vale, defeating the Boltons. She refuses the North when she finds out that Rickon is alive, making him Lord of Winterfell and betraying Littlefinger in the process. She returns to the Vale and rules with her new husband.
• Davos returns Rickon to Winterfell, and upon learning that Stannis is dead, decides he has had enough of war, takes his family and settles down in Winterfell under Rickon’s protection.
• Walder Frey dies of old age. Catelyn, furious that she has been denied her revenge, goes on an even bloodier killing spree across Westeros before being stopped by Jaime, Stannis or Jon Snow
The series ends with a Distant Finale. The king of Westeros (Aegon’s grandson) receives three letters. The first informs him that the conflicts in the Iron Isles after Asha Greyjoy’s death have escalated to a full blown Civil War between the Greyjoy cousins and House Drumm. The second warns him that Shireen’s descendants are mustering support in the East, aiming to take back the Iron Throne in the Baratheon name. The third is from the North, and simply says ‘Winter is Coming’.
- An alternate version:
- Daenerys finally arrives in Westeros using the Iron Fleet. Euron was secretly following Victarion the whole time, and when Victarion's hownblower blows the horn, a battle between the brothers ensues. Victarion uses the dragons to burn Euron's ships, but is himself mortally wounded. Euron escapes. Dany arrives with a subjugated khalasar and restores order to Slavers' Bay, capturing the horn; it turns out that she can blow it without harm, because she's a descendant of Valyrian dragonlords. She uses the horn to restore control over Viserion and Rhaegal and prepares to leave for Westeros.
- Aegon is a fake, but everyone, including himself, believes him to be the real thing. He does not manage to take over the Red Keep, (Cersei is there), but sets up shop on the outskirts of the city and issues orders from there. When Dany arrives, he tries to blow the horn, which kills him.
- Tyrion arrives to Westeros with Dany. He manages to bond with Rhaegal (without use of horn, he finds a way to bribe the dragon, a la Nettle) and uses him to take control of Casterly Rock.
- Jon survives the "For the Watch" attack (with Melisandre's help, but no over-the-top undeadification, more like healing), but, since he was legally dead for a time (the brothers pronounced the eulogy over him), he's no longer a brother of the Night's Watch. He turns to the south with the Wildling army and arrives in the nick of time to save the scattered remnants of Stannis' army and take Winterfell. Soon, Howland Reed appears and tells Jon about R+L. Robb's Will is also revealed, Jon becomes King in the North. Davos brings Rickon to Winterfell, Rickon becomes Jon's heir.
- While Jon is gone south, the Others break through the Wall and collapse it. What's left of the Night's Watch goes to Winterfell and tells Jon. They start to evacuate the North.
- In the Vale of Arryn, Sansa manages to somehow thwart the schemes of Littlefinger and force him to run like hell. The Lords Declarant take control, Sansa tells them who she is. Once the Lords Declarant learn about the new King in the North, they decide to ally themselves with Jon and help clear up the Riverlands and prepare them for the refugees from the North.
- Cersei loses control over everything except the Red Keep once her champion knight is revealed to be a zombie. When fAegon's forces arrive, she threatens to set Aerys's old wildfire caches on fire. She tries to do exactly that after Dany shows up. But Jaime appears and kills her.
- What about Jaime? Brienne has won his life from Lady Stoneheart in a trial by combat. Later he and Brienne learn that Sansa is alive and well in the Vale. After that, Jaime feels free to leave Brienne and return to KL, where the aforementioned showdown is happening.
- Sam invents something really fascinating that works agaist the Others. Maybe even... firearms?
- What happens to Bran and Arya, I cannot predict, because I still don't know what to think about the Children of the Forest and the Faceless Men respectively, and their roles in all this.
- The grand battle against the Others happens somewhere between Moat Cailin and the Trident.
- Jon and Dany become king and queen, but the whole thing became too taxing for them. Jon soon dies for real (his health becomes already poor after his survival in the "For the Watch" attempt, and a job such as ruling a devastated humanitarian catastrophe of a country is not exactly healthy), Dany becomes convinced that she sucks as a ruler, and most of the ruling is done by the Hand, Tyrion.
- Quite a few problems. How could Tyrion name Bronn his heir? Bronn isn't even a Lannister. And Tyrion Tanner is Bronn's stepson. I doubt they could be named heir.
And the rulers will be Sansa (the North) and Daenerys.
Sansa and Daenerys seem to be opposites of each other. The physical reason being hair. Daenerys' hair is silver/white, the colour of snow, while Sansa's is red, the colour of fire. They are already representing each other's elements (if you take Sansa being Northern as a sign that her element would be ice). Additionally, G.R.R.Martin seems to be raising women up out of their usual story ruts. So it would make sense for the victors in the end to be two women. Who both also have fathers who were unjustly killed (Truth for Sansa; Daenerys doesn't seem to know much about her family in Westeros, so this is her own personal truth).
They are also the only two female P.O.V. who are in any condition to be victors in the Game of Thrones. Cersei is being taken down in King's Landing due to her own mistakes; Brienne may or may not be dead; Arya's interests lie only in revenge; Cat is down for the count; Mellesendrei is only working for the gains of her own gods; and Arianne has not done anything significant except have her actions result in the maiming of Myrcella Baratheon. As well, Sansa is the only Stark currently participating in the Game of Thrones (and this includes Jon; the Night's Watch takes no part). That takes away Bran and Rickon, who, despite having the same colouring, are not as involved in the war.
They also show both sides of the iron coin. All men must die (Dany; the phrase is mentioned multiple times in her storyline) and All Men Must Serve (Sansa; she was raised to believe that she has to do her duty).
They are also both naive in the ways of politics, though both are learning. Sansa is being taught by Littlefinger, and Dany in her plot line in Meereen. Dany also has her dragons, while Sansa is theoretically able to raise a strong army through name alone.
Aditionally, neither of them are welcome in Westeros by the crown. Dany because she is a threat, and Sansa because she is an assumed kingslayer.
Both come from old blood, and had families that were old by the time Westeros became seven kingdoms. The Starks in the North, and the Targaryeans in Old Valyria. Both families also have strong connections to their house sygils, the Direwolf and the Dragon respectively.
Dany is the unburnt. Who is to say that Sansa, the only living Stark without a (warging) connection to her house sygil, can't be the unfrozen?
- The Starks in ancient history bent the knee to House Targaryen without a fight. They were the Kings who Knelt. Sansa will be one of the first Westerosi that Dany meets, and she (Sansa) will swear fealty and all her knowledge of Westeros' current political situation, in exchange for protection and vengeance. They team up. They fight crime. They rule.
- While you're probably right, I'm not going to be 100% sure that the Lannisters aren't involved in anything magical until we finally see Casterly Rock. Yes, Jaime's dream about something ominous and terrible lurking under it are probably just dreams or metaphors, but still worth looking into.
- Due to Qyburn's love of Mary Shelley, the Lannister now have some magic to them. I'm sure that could in no way turn out wrong.
- The Iron Islands: The Iron Islands are still in open rebellion, and have no desire to bend the knee. The only one who could force them to do so is Daenerys Targaryen.
- The Westerlands: Without Tommen on the throne, Jaime will have no reason at all to be loyal to King's Landing. He will become the Lord of Casterly Rock, and will likely circle the wagons in hopes of survival. If Tommen and Cersei are dead, he may well declare himself King on the Rock.
- The North: The North is a powder keg already. Between Stannis, Melisandre, Lord Manderly, and the surviving Starks, the Boltons' hold on the North is doomed. And once the Boltons go, the Reeds will ensure that no one can send in reinforcements. The North probably won't get very involved in the southern war, due to a rather pressing need to fight the Others.
- The Vale: Petyr Baelish and Sansa Stark are poised to take control. And there really isn't an army left in Westeros that could take the Vale by force.
- The Riverlands: The Freys' control is so weak that the Riverlands will likely collapse into a series of independent lords. Especially if and when the Brotherhood takes out the Twins. The Tullys could eventually pull a comeback.
- The Reach: Euron will take Highgarden, and probably kill as many Tyrells as possible. If he manages to purge the house, the Reach will probably unite under the Hightowers (especially as we have Sam in Oldtown to serve as our POV).
- The Stormlands: Already falling to Aegon VI.
- Dorne: Will likely back Aegon.
If this happens, then it is unlikely that Aegon will be able to unite the Seven Kingdoms again. Dany could, with her dragons. But even if Aegon takes King's Landing, he'll only have the Crownlands, the Stormlands, and Dorne.
- I don't think it's very usual for civil wars to cause revolts (the other way around is of course a different matter). Wars are times when autocracies come into their own — would introducing a young, fragile democracy in the middle of a war end it, or just make your side more likely to lose to the guy with an iron grip over his armies? And once the war ends, the reigning monarch is the hero who saved us all from civil war, so he's got plenty of political capital to play with. Peasant revolts tend to come from long periods of misrule by a single regime on which all the blame can be easily piled (hence Cersei/Joffrey nearly causing one in KL).
- To some degree, I see the point, but that may just delay the inevitable to the new king's successor. This also assumes there'll be one new king, and not three or five or seven or more; there's no reason to assume that the winter won't force a stalemate. In that case, the civil war will be ongoing and you'll have cruelty and rot where the Lannisters and Boltons rule, at a minimum, plus other chaos elsewhere.
- Why would the museum-goers be bored? The story would probably still be pretty interesting even in fractured form. Besides which, why would people who find the story boring go to the museum? Wouldn't the museum-goers self-select for those who find the story interesting?
- To them, the story is quite literally ancient history, and most likely eclipsed by "future" events. They'd be bored for the same reasons some visitors to modern-day museums get bored.
- Not everyone thinks ancient history is as boring as you seem to. I prefer reading of the Mongol/Roman/Persian etc. Empires to last weeks news or 20th century history. I'm confident that your average visitor to an ancient history exhibition would agree.
- To them, the story is quite literally ancient history, and most likely eclipsed by "future" events. They'd be bored for the same reasons some visitors to modern-day museums get bored.
- As the camera pans the parking lot on the approach we can see the license plates proclaim "REPUBLIC BICENTENNIAL" across the bottom. On the tour we see the Iron Throne gathering dust behind velvet ropes...
- Because even if the Others and their wights are turned back, even with Dany and her dragons' issue is finally settled, even if everyone plotting and scheming and murdering and burning and avenging and destroying ends up settled, done, backstabbed, frontstabbed, sidestabbed, and stabbed from every other angle, and there is someone or a few someones still left standing who 'win'...it doesn't matter, because WINTER IS STILL COMING, a long long winter due to how long the summer was, and all the crops and livestock and foodstores and items needed to survive have been destroyed due to all the people playing the game of thrones and their grudges out while all their men rampaged around the continent putting everything mindlessly to the sword, and the survivors will just end up starving and freezing to death, leaving a dead land with just the animals wandering around. Like the Blue Öyster Cult sang, history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man.
- If true, this would give a particularly bleak twist to the phrase "A Dream of Spring". It seems to be usually assumed it's either a Happily Ever After (or at least, as close to one as one could expect in the ASoIaFverse) or some kind of mildly optimistic After the End à la Matrix Revolutions, that is, "yay, spring is here, no more Others, hallelujah", but it may simply turn out to be that everyone is dying because of the freak winter and can only ever dream of spring. Way to turn an already Crapsack World up to eleven.
- Except that per the wiki[1]
, women could inherit
Lannister:Cersei won't have any more kids and the two she has left are doomed (and aren't trueborn Lannisters anyway), per prophecy. I somehow doubt Jaime will, and if he does they'll be bastards since Kingsguard can't marry. Tyrion can't have any trueborn children since he's married to Sansa. Lancel's going to be a septon, young Tyrek is almost certainly dead, Genna's kids are Freys. Gerion might reappear, I suppose, but even if he's alive I doubt he's settled down to raise a family. Stafford had a son and so does Tywin's other male cousin, but it would be easy enough for something to happen to any or all of them.
Arryn:There's only Sweetrobin left and he's being murdered.
Tully:Lysa's and Cat's kids aren't Tullys even if any survive, and Brynden is hardly likely to marry or have children. There's Edmure and his unborn child, but I wouldn't bet too heavily on either surviving the series, and the kid could be a girl.
Baratheon:Even if Shireen survives and marries her children won't be Baratheons. Stannis is unlikely to have more children, given his frosty relationship with his wife. Cersei's kids aren't really Baratheons and are doomed by prophecy in any case. The chances of any of Robert's bastards being legitimised seems pretty slim.
- I think Stannis wants sons, it's just his wife keeps giving him stillborns.
- Really? I don't recall any mention of stillbirths or miscarriages in their particular case, just that they never had any other children. I guessed that they may have had trouble conceiving again, besides that the universally accepted version in-universe is that they haven't even tried in a long time. And Selyse's claim that the reason she hasn't given him any more children is because of Edric might even make some degree of sense if that's the case - if he feels (or she thinks he does) that their marriage was dishonoured by Robert's adultery on their wedding night then maybe she attributes his lack of interest to that.
- As I WM Ged below, one of Robert's bastards, most likely Edric, may be legitimized by Stannis in case he doesn't have children. Or if Jon becomes King he may do so.
- I think Stannis wants sons, it's just his wife keeps giving him stillborns.
Martell:Doran's estranged from his wife, Oberyn left only bastard daughters, and Quentyn got himself barbecued. Dornish law might make Arianne her father's heir, but she'll still don her husband's colours if she marries. That only leaves little Trystane, and he's too valuable a pawn to put much stock in his safety.
- Dornish law allows woman to keep their own sigils. There have already been ruling Princesses of Dorne.
Targaryen:Dany's a girl, and it's very likely she can't have kids. Aegon still has a war to fight, and in any case there's a lot of popular doubt of his authenticity. Jon is almost certainly still a bastard even if he's Rhaegar's. I suppose if Dany married a Targaryen bastard it might be generally accepted that they're Targaryens, but that's still no good if they can't have children. This troper's pet theory is that Rhaegar's not really dead, but somehow I can't see him marrying again.
Greyjoy:Aeron's a priest, I can't see Victarion marrying again, and Balon's only surviving son appears to have been castrated. Asha's children, if she ever has any, won't be Greyjoys. Admittedly Euron is a bit of a wildcard; there's no telling what he'll do.
The Tyrells are the only great house to really look like bucking the trend. Garlan's married - though childless as yet, and Willas might be a cripple but he's heir to Highgarden and so hardly unattractive. Garth is unmarried - perhaps too gross for most women to look at, but his brother Moryn has sons, grandsons, and a great grandson, and there's other male relatives too.
- Some parts of this WMG are based on an assumption that children can't inherit their mother's family name. However, there are examples of that in canon (e.g. all of Maege Mormont's daughters are Mormonts themselves).
- In Historic Patriarchal Societies like Westros, there's also a rule that allows the secondary heirs like second sons and daughters to be named to the wife's House if there are no other members.
- Dorne has followed cognatic primogeniture since Nymeria conquered it and since then House Nymeros Martell has ruled Dorne. Now, if it is the case that the children of a Princess of Dorne inherits its father's name, that means every single ruling Princess of Dorne since the Rhyonish conquest has married a male member of her own house. Since that seems highly unlikely, and since it completely flies in the face of the entire point of cognatic primogeniture, I am confident that any marriage that Arianne makes, excepting one, perhaps, with a Targaryen, will result in the children being of House Nymeros Martell. Also, as the person above points out, it is possible for a woman to pass on her name in certain situations in feudal societies, whether through matrilineal marriages or by passing on a name and title to a second born or lower son. There is also the possibility that any of the individuals of these dying houses could adopt a member of the lesser nobility or a second or third born son, granting him their name and titles (I believe this option was discusses when the issue of Lady Hornwood's inheritance was brought up). Also, House Lannister has at least one thriving cadet branch (the Lannisters of Lannisport) and thus it is unlikely that ALL of the Lannisters will go extinct.
And so what, in my mind, is the series about? Two things. One is the titular song of ice and fire: the rise of the Others, and concurrently the rise of a Targaryen ruler who battled them with fire made flesh. But the second? The second is about the family that history forgot: the Starks, who were once a great house but were effectively wiped out in the War of Five Kings and never recovered.
I mean, whatever even happened to the Starks? They just seemed to disappear overnight. The lord, Eddard, was killed, as was his wife Catelyn and soon Robb. A woman named Sansa made some crucial contributions, but at that point she was married to someone else and a member of their House instead (House Hardyng, from the looks of things, unless Littlefinger can't keep his Wife Husbandry in his pants anymore and takes her for himself). Commoners still tell tales of a figure named Lady Stoneheart, but surely she was fictional, a bogeywoman crafted to scare children: I mean, an undead woman? Yeah right. There was a long-faced, brown-haired assassin involved, and occasionally a tree spoke up, but who knows where they come from. Rickon Stark, the youngest, is the only one in position to have any impact, and R'hllor only knows what he's been up to on an isle of cannibals. (Then again, maybe I'm underestimating Osha's mothering abilities. She does seem to have a solid head on her shoulders.) And one of the great figures of the War of the Others—Jon, the dragon-rider, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch? Well, he was a bastard, a Snow, and in any case he had very different blood in his veins (like, "R+L=J" different).
Legend Fades to Myth, and the contributions of the northerners were forgotten forever. But fortunately we have the wise words and scholarship of George R. R. Martin, who unearthed the tale of Ramza Beoulve—excuse me, House Stark—to remind us that you don't have to be a king to be a hero, and that sometimes the forgotten are the most important.
(Though you do gotta have dragons.)
- More likely she'll die before meeting Jon and it will be thought Arya is dead. Then the real Arya may return.
- Somehow this doesn't feel right. Also, Sansa will eventually drop the pretense, that is Littlefinger's plan, and I doubt she will permanently stay as Alayne.
- Ned is dead.
- Catelyn is somewhat dead.
- Robb is super dead.
- Sansa is set to take over the Vale.
- Bran is a tree.
- Arya is no longer a Stark.
- Jon is on the wall, dead, and not a Stark anyway.
- Got to question a couple of those:
- Arya refused to throw away Needle, and secretly revels in her wolf dreams. She's hiding it well enough for now, but she's still Arya Stark. No way is she going to stay the course, though she will probably learn a lot of tricks before she quits/gets kicked out.
- I have trouble believing that about Jon. I don't know whether he'll survive his injuries or be raised by Melisandre, but that scene is way too reminiscent of Theon at the sack of Winterfell, Asha in the fight in the woods, Brienne in the fight with the 'Hound', Arya at the Twins. There's probably more. Quentyn Martell is the nearest thing to an exception, but even he didn't actually die in that scene. People have died in their POV, but there's a ton where they're implied to be dead and turn up later, and the way it faded out, dwelling on the last thing he saw/felt as he lost consciousness, is far more in line with the not-dead scenes. And he was legitimised by Robb, offered it again by Stannis, and there's kings all over the place who could potentially do it a third time.
- Got to question a couple of those:
- The baby Gilly took to Oldtown is actually the "Wildling Prince", who Jon substituted with Gilly's son to protect them from Melissandre.
- To provide a link to House Baratheon to the King.
- ...and name his first son Eddard.
- Going with the Margaery/Anne Boleyn parallel, and the fact that if Jon is a Targaryen he binds two royal houses together in his blood (which Henry VII did not do; he married the York heiress but it was his sons who carried both York and Lancaster blood) it's possible that Jon will marry Margaery.
- Henry Tudor was technically a Lancastrian, though; his mother, Margaret Beaufort, was the great-granddaughter of John of Gaunt. The seeds of the War of the Roses were first planted when John's son, Henry Bolingbroke, overthrew his cousin, Richard II, and became Henry IV. The Lancasters were eventually deposed, though, because Henry VI was crazy and his wife, Margaret of Anjou, could have given Lady Macbeth lessons in ruthlessness. I don't know if GRRM knows it, but when Henry Tudor went to war with Richard III, Henry fought under the banner of the dragon (the symbol of Wales) and Richard under the banner of the white boar.
- OP here. Yes, I know that Henry Tudor was technically a Lancastrian through his mother, but Margaret Beaufort was of a secondary line, the descendent of John of Gaunt's legitimized bastards. So he wasn't a member of the primary line, he was the only living claimant the Lancasters had left. Besides, it wouldn't be an entirely direct parallel - Cersei reads like an evil caricature of Elizabeth Woodville in some ways, and Robert like an extreme caricature of Edward IV in his later years. It's why I'm very concerned that Tommen will suffer a Prince in the Tower sort of fate.
- Oh, Robert is so strikingly like Edward IV it had to have been deliberate. Both were both very tall, muscular and handsome as young men; excellent military commanders, and didn't get along well with their brothers. They both got fat as they aged and were succeeded by twelve-year-olds. Cersei also has a bit of Margaret of Anjou and Lucrezia Borgia in her. Nevertheless, despite that York and Lancaster sound similar to Stark and Lannister, the Yorkists and Lancastrians have more direct textual parallels in the Baratheons and the Targaryens with the Blackfyres being legitimized bastards. If Martin plans to end the series like the War of the Roses did, then the logical end would be for a surviving Blackfyre male to marry a Baratheon female. But I don't think it's going to be that exact.
- Tommen suffering a murderous fate is almost written in stone.

- Not to mention the TV parallels Margaery Tyrell is played by Natalie Dormer who also played Anne Boleyn.
- Would that make Stannis Baratheon the Richard the Third of Westeros?
