Irish Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Jon is obviously more adept at being able to play with deception than his father (fooling Mance, Tormund and Ygritte to protect the Night's Watch) so what would the outcome have been if Jon had gone south with Ned, like Catelyn told him? The outcome on the events in King's Landing, Robb's war, the Wildlings at the Wall, the Ironborn invading the North? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 We cannot know what would have happened. So we'd know nothing? I feel that set up was too easy, and spit on you, sir. Okay, what do you think would have happened, and what its affect would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tony of House Stark Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 he probably would have died with Ned for an imagined crime or be murdered like the rest of his household. if he survived that, idk where he would go. he would be wanted by Cersei and would probably have made it to the Wall with Yorren and Arya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well, Jon only started to learn subterfuge later. In aGoT he was kind of an immature kid.But well, starting with the incident at the Trident, Arya would probably be playing with Jon instead of Mycah, and Joff probably wouldn't hurt Ned's son, so maybe they all get to keep their wolves. That means Nymeria and Ghost tear Joffrey to pieces when he tries to kill Ned :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, what do you think would have happened, and what its affect would be? No, what I mean is...we could guess some things that could have happened if Jon, for example, had decided to be Lord of Winterfell. But Jon going south with Ned...that is early AGOT. I mean, everything could have happened and still be plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morticia Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think maybe he would have accompanied Arya. Or died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpymaster Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ned would be too busy with his bastard and woudnt notice robert's bastards..!! And there would be Snow at the red keep..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tony of House Stark Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 thats a good call with the messy business on the Trident. Jon could have also become Robert's squire. he was the Hand's son and Robert was already known to have two squires. this might have saved Robert's life at least for the time being. exercises like this are fun and creative. it helps test our ability to construct plausible theories so it is not an exercise in futility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamoDega Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If i must be realistic i can see him do something stupid when Ned was arrested/executed and get killed If i can count on Jon's plot armor all the above but he will escape, then he will probably go try to join Robb's army.From here again: realistic he die at red wedding, plot armor he escape and go search whoever/whatever can help him fight his enemies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamoDega Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 BTW it will be awesome see Syrio train Jon too In b4 boring "he got already knighty training"... golden rule, the more tricks the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Jon would either have died with Ned or been taken captive, the real events that would have changed would have been at the wall, where Mance likely would have taken Castle Black before Stannis got there. If Jon went south with Robb that's another story, because he could have put Jon in charge of the infantry instead of Roose Bolton. That would have changed things, but still the events at the wall are rally what would have changed, without Jon the Thenns and co who scaled the wall would have been able to hit Castle Black by surprise.

Not likelyRoose was an allie, a Lord with men and an experienced commander You can't just give his place to your bastard bro for the lulz, it will be a bad move under all point of view (of course assuming you don't know what wil happen at Red Wedding) and will affect Robb's image as leader He will probably keep him close in battle, claiming to his men that if he die Jon will be theyr new leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tony of House Stark Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 the wall is another interesting area. the Free Folk would have crossed the wall and destroyed the NW unless Mormont brokered a truce with Mance similar to Jon's. if not, the FF cross into the North and pillage it while Robb is gone with the rest of the men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aryagonnakill#2 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Roose was not entitled to the command, it would not have been taking his place. Robb and Catlyn even considered giving Theon the command and only decided against it because he was Ironborn. Everyone thought of Jon as Robbs oldest brother, it would not have been out of place at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateVergo Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Jon was 14 and too stupid to actually help his "father".Not sure if he would have died or not though, it's not like if he was some valuable hostage so Joffrey could have killed him since i'm pretty sure Jon would have done something REALLY STUPID after his Ned's execution like trying to kill Joffrey.
