Tyrion will find House Lannister's sky-metal weapons.
In chapter 95, Tyrion reads a letter from a Lannister that was Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, which mentions there are some things in his crypt that belong to the Lannisters, and clearly implies they are supposed to be used in the coming fight against the Others. Most mentioned sky-metal weapons have already made their appearance, save for the axe Rocktooth and the twin daggers, which belonged to the Casterlys.- Confirmed in chapter 104: the expedition to the Nightfort finds both Rocktooth and the daggers (known as The Warnings) in a box next to Tyrek Lannister's grave.
The Resolution of the Iron Islands Civil War Sub-plot...
In chapter 92, Victarion Greyjoy has, while accepting his orders to attack Harlaw, loudly and in great detail made Balon and Aeron aware of what their foolishness has done and expressed his extreme reluctance at the orders given. In addition, Rodrik Harlaw has been fortifying his holdings and has the means to ensure early warning of invasion, while the Iron Fleet is at a third of its original strength.The engagement at Harlaw, therefore, will be minimal - a brief trade of blows, if anything, before Victarion surrenders. He will recognise that Harlaw's position is insurmountable and send a message to his brothers that his forces were overwhelmed as they tried to carry out their orders; this would not necessarily be a lie. He will then either be kept as a "prisoner" (re: ally) on Harlaw or sent north to help fight the Others.
With the Iron Fleet either gone, or under Asha's command, the Old God Ironborn will be able to surround Pyke, cutting Balon off from what little support he has left, leading to his defeat.
- Jossed, at least with Victarion's surrender.
Euron intends to kill his brother
In chapter 108, Euron Greyjoy makes his return to the Iron Islands and suggests to Balon that he host a parley meeting with Rodrik Harlaw, and that then Euron can come in and "accidentally" kill Harlaw and his allies. However, given what he did in canon, it is not that much of a stretch that he will kill Balon and any of his supporters there, only to then claim they had been killed by Rodrik Harlaw's men.- While the circumstances are different, Euron did plan on killing his brothers, and succeeded.
Ned Stark will go to the Iron Islands and defeat the Drowned God
It was revealed that the Drowned God is a God of Evil who will meet his end when the Stark in Winterfell wields his Fist against him. With the Ironborn Civil War in full swing and Balon Greyjoy calling a parley that Rodrik knows is a trap, Asha Greyjoy is travelling to Winterfell to appeal to King Robert, to send an envoy to the parley and forestall whatever it is her father is planning.With Asha knowing of the prophecy, Ned (and possibly Theon) will go to the Iron Islands as Robert's representative, taking the Fist of Winter with him. Somehow, whatever mad plan Euron Greyjoy has up his sleeve will invoke the Drowned God and summon him into the real world in person, and Ned will strike him down with the Fist of Winter just as prophesied.
- Possibly Jossed, as the latest chapter has Wilias stating that Ned will need to come to Oldtown to defeat the Drowned God, as that is where the gate that contains him is located.
- Now definitely Jossed as of chapter 172.
Rhaegar had visions of the Night King and his upcoming invasion
The horror of these visions drove him to become obsessed with finding a way to protect his people from the monster. This lead him to the Prophecy of the Song of Fire and Ice. This lead him to believe that a child conceived by him nd Lyanna would be the key to defeating the Night King.In the Original Timeline, Jon would have killed the Night King. In the New Timeline, things have changed so that while Jon will be of great assistance, the victory will be someone else's.
The Riverlands's First Men shield is located in the Foxhold.
During a discussion of First Men weapons like the Fist of Winter, Dawn and Stormbreaker, Lords Royce and Redfort mention that the Riverlands had a shield that was once carried by their kings. While Bronn is exploring the crypts of the Foxhold, he finds evidence that the Cawlishes, the previous owners of the Foxhold, were related to the Mudds by marriage (the Mudds being the old kings of the Riverlands), and his explorations has his eyes notice a dusty shield in front of one of the crypt statues.- Confirmed. One night, Bronn finds Ursula sleepwalking towards the crypts, and the direction of her steps later guides them to a hidden part of the crypts that contains the shield.
The second Gold Cloak Robert executed was Allar Deem.
Allar Deem was a particularly vicious and nasty Gold Cloak in the novels who personally murdered Barra, the infant bastard daughter of Robert Baratheon, along with her mother. He's described here as spitting at the crowd before he's executed, which fits Deem's nasty manner.Bronn is descended from the Casterlys in some way.
Admittedly, a bit of a tinhat theory, this is mostly based on Pycelle reacting to Bronn's surname strangely, and the fact that Cassley and Casterly sound very similar. He could be descended from the Casterlys that didn't follow Lann to face the Others or a Casterly who DID follow Lann but didn't abandon the name or also perhaps a Casterly who COULDN'T follow Lann but supported his cause. Maybe a Casterly man who couldn't fight or a daughter of the family.- And how interesting that during his wedding to Ursula Cawlish he makes mention of her green and *gold* cloak over a *red* dress feeling right in some way he can’t adequately explain.
Euron is the one who possessed the Mountain.
Luwin deduces that someone must have discovered the required information for the human-warging ritual in the ruins of Valyria. Other than Gerion, Euron is the only person to ever return from Valyria alive, and he's definitely crazy and twisted enough to use a ritual even the ancient Valyrians considered Mind Rape.Daenerys will be contacted by the Seven in Andalos.
While the Seven have shown themselves to be active with their warning in the Great Sept, they have done little else thus far in the story - the Old Gods are getting things done in Westeros. However, I feel the Seven will make themselves known once more, through Daenerys. It is still unexplained what the silver glow was in her eyes when she woke up after the hatching of her dragons. Changes in eye color is often associated with some kind of possession in this story, such as green eyes and/or red pupils for the Old Gods, and black for being possessed by someone using Valyrian magic. Glowing silver eyes could work for the Seven. As of this writing, Daenerys is in the heart of Andalos and in the vicinity of the ruins of the old Andal capital city. Thus, she is in position to learn some forgotten things in the birthplace of the Faith of the Seven, and the New Gods should have some power there. Personally, I want to see the Seven do some more things and Daenerys is a potentially powerful game piece currently in place where the Old Gods have no influence.Andalos once had Long Night countermeasures, but they were destroyed.
Relating to the above WMG, much like Westeros and the Five Forts to the east, Andalos once had countermeasures in preparation for the next "Long Night" event. However, due to the actions of Theon Stark, pretty much any knowledge of them was lost or destroyed.Bran and Quicksilver will marry.
During Bran's meeting with Quicksilver, a female child of the forest who has the green sight, she makes a comment about them being something before stopping herself. She further states that Bran can't tell his friends about her because they won't understand and gently placed one of her fingers on his lips and then brought that same finger to her own lips.- Though it hasn't yet, happened chapter 168 essentially confirms that it will happen.
Who sent the assassins after Daenerys and Viserys?
I was rereading the story and reached the part where Varys revealed that Robert hadn't sent assassins after Daenerys and Viserys. Thus the following are likely options.- Cersei was responsible for the assassins, either unwilling to risk the potential Targaryen threat to her children or in a moment of fearing that a returning Daenerys was meant to be the younger more beautiful queen.
- Jon Connington was responsible for the assassins, unwilling to risk Targaryen loyalist in Westeros siding with Viserys and/or Daenerys over "Aegon."
- An unknown figure was the responsible for the assassins and will be revealed when Daenerys comes to Westeros.
- There were no assassins, Viserys was simply being paranoid and Daenerys was too young and naive to see it.
