MakeThemBurn Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Will it be? I find it quite convenient that GRRM has taken his characters to every little town in Westeros and Essos, yet the home of the most powerful House since the Targaryens has been left untouched. A battle is due.Family is a big deal in Westeros but I find it especially pronounced in the Lannister chapters. Tywin Lannister cares only about his legacy yet is unable to see how easily it's washed away. After all, he eradicated or tried to eradicate three entire Houses (Reyne, Targaryen, Stark). I feel like the writing is on the wall with this one. The Lannisters will suffer the fate of House Reyne and Tywin will lose the one thing he held dear. Also, the very first Tyrion chapters are quite telling. They're all about "you know how much I love my family" and "I would never bet against my family". Although he has changed his mind on the subject, he's destined to be killed only because he's a Lannister. That is his bittersweet ending.The timing would be most perfect when Daenerys attacks King's Landing. When Lannister troops are engaged there, it would be up to Targaryen loyalists (Greyjoy?) or any of House Lannister's many enemies to take the unguarded city. And after the battle of Houses winter would set in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis's Lawyer Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Casterly Rock is far too big to take unless you're using stealth and you know the castle well. Hence I believe Tyrion will use his knowledge of the sewers to take the castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah.jenice Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I would definitely like to see Casterly Rock via a POV character, but I don't want to see it destroyed. I'm still holding out on hope that Tyrion will end up with CR in the end. Stannis's Lawyer, I like the idea of him using the sewers to take the castle. Take that for trying to demean him with that job, Tywin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion of the West Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Tywin is the Great Lion because even when he goes to humiliate Tyrion he ends up sowing the seeds of Lannister salvation. :D If Tyrion would become the next Lord Lannister, that is.

King Tyrion I Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I would definitely like to see Casterly Rock via a POV character, but I don't want to see it destroyed.

Take that for trying to demean him with that job, Tywin! :lol: Well, I also hope that Tyrion ends up with being Lord of CR. (Of course, being king would be the greater honor.)

Vlaars Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hence I believe Tyrion will use his knowledge of the sewers to take the castle.Even though it would be sure to work (He's small, has knowledge of Casterly Rock and it would be ironic) but I would deem it too similar to Astapor. However, I don't really care that much; as long ad Casterly Rock is shown, I'm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamSongs Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 According to GRRM, we will see CR through a POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence I believe Tyrion will use his knowledge of the sewers to take the castle. Harrenhal was bigger than Casterly Rock and look what I did to it. Don't make assumptions. By the time Dany arrives in Westeros her army will be humongous however I do agree with you that it will be indeed Tyrion who helps take Casterly Rock. My point is Casterly Rock can be taken with force but it will take a lot and quite some casualties unless you have a dragon like my Balerion doing your bidding!

And that was with their big three, let alone Dany's juveniles.Also size =/= strength and stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to WOIAF, Harrenhall is tiny compared to CR. When it is said that Harenhall is the biggest castle, people in Westeros probably compare Harrenhall with the castle on the top of CR. But CR is inside the rock as well and this rock is humongous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I've been saying for months that Tyrion would lead Dany's forces into CR through the sewers. Then she won't need to get loans from the IB, she can use all the gold she wants and then turn CR back over to Tyrion after the war is done.

Harrenhal is in fact bigger than Casterly Rock Can you then point me where the size of Harrenhall is mentioned, that is bigger than CR? CR is 3x higher than the Wall, more than 10 km wide. Harrenhall is not that high by far. And I doubt it's that wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
