Lord Rhaegel Tarly Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 If Stannis wins the Siege of Winterfell, and rallies the majority of northern houses to his cause, what are their next move? The Others? I think the northmen will dismiss him (stupidly) and take him for some madman. My other theory is that he will move south: either to the Vale and Riverlands to gain the support of the river and vale lords, or use Wyman Manderly's fleet to take King's Landing from whoever sits the Iron Throne at the time.

Guard of the Rainking Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 He might tell them that the Wall is about to be attacked by the Wildlings again to get them up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aFeastForDragons Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Unless the snow storms stop he is going nowhere. At this rate he could just about make it to Winterfell. My guess is he goes back to the Wall to fight the Others. All the pieces are there for Stannis to rapidly gather a large army & navy to invade King's Landing and take the Throne but its not going to happen in this story.

ShadowInTheDarkness Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 north will supply him and his man with food and shelter and probably use the north as his base of operations but i don't think there going to march south again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Sword Donor Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 What scale are we rating it on? If I had to guess, every house except the Boltons are going to end up supporting him or whoever he makes Warden of the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salafi Stannis Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 His mere presence will leave the northmen in a state of awe and admiration and they will immediately bend the knee and begin chanting "One Realm. One God. One King!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the Rock Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think the majority of the north will support him in liberating the Riverlands and defending the kingdom from the Others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, every house except the Boltons are going to end up supporting him or whoever he makes Warden of the North. And the Boltons are probably gone at that point. Come to think of it who would Stannis name as the new lord of the Dreadfort? Edit. He might marry one of his supporters to Fat Walda and make him the new lord.

Only if he wants the guy dead by northern blades. Fat Walda is a Frey. He'll just have to name a Lord. Or rather, Rickon Stark will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or rather, Rickon Stark will do. But isn't Fat Walda the legal lady of the Dreadfort after Roose and Ramsay are dead? Actually it might depend on who dies first Roose or Ramsay. If Roose dies first Jeyne pool becomes the lady of the Dreadfort, and if Ramsay dies first Walda becomes the new lady of the Dreadfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In A Coat of Gold Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Even if he wins, he doesn't have enough to march south with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Sword Donor Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Concubines? Stannis, like Rhaegar, doesn't seem like the type to go whoring. Massey has been gunning for lands since Stannis went North. If he comes back with the sellswords and cash like he was ordered to do, I can see him getting a few lands and titles for it.

Guard of the Rainking Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Even if he wins, he doesn't have enough to march south with. Depends on what support he can get. If he has a Stark on his side that'll gain him much popularity in the Vale and the Riverlands. There are also the sellswords his planning on buying.

Ramsay, Walda, and Roose are going to die, well assuming Roose isn't undead*. Ramsay's marriage to fArya is a sham, and Stannis would dissolve it anyway. Ramsay has no legitimacy in Stannis' eyes. * don't actually believe that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Roose's son by Walda would be the heir. She herself is utterly unimportant and has no claim. And she is hated with a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
