Where the hell will Dany&co. land in Westeros?

Its a good question.



I had always thought it would be Dorne, but after what happened to Quentyn & the fact they may declare for Aegon, might not be the best place to go.



She could still go the Westerlands without sailing round the world, but she would probably have to side with Euron to do so.



The Vale could be a possibility. It has a intact army though, but if Littlefinger or Sansa (I'm hoping she will have taken over by that time) declares for her, could happen.



The other obvious one I suppose would be Dragonstone, would be poetic if her invasion started from there.

I've always thought Dragonstone would be the logical choice. Good for propaganda purposes the whole "Aegon the Conquerer come again" thing.

You also get a strong fortress that you can attack King's Landing from, and you have sea access to the Vale and Dorne.

It's also Dany's birthplace and her family's ancestral seat. It commands the Blackwater Bay so you can blockade KL.

Also, Rhaenyra was on Dragonstone when the Dance started.

The Vale would be the next place to land for these reasons:

1) It hasn't declared for anyone and is still at full reserves

2) It is vulnerable to attack by sea as the Andals proved yet protected from counterattack from the rest of Westeros by land by the Mountains of the Moon

3) Tyrion is itching to pay back his debt to the Vale

Right on the front of the Second War for the Dawn. ie Oldtown.

Except GRRM said there would be a second Dance of Dragons.

The Vale is such an all or nothing proposition. If you can get them onboard, their integrity works to your advantage in a huge, potentially deciding way. If you don't get them onboard, you are literally choosing to confront the point of greatest resistance for no discernible reason, other than narrative.

Not exactly, dragons are good recruiting tools, and they can likely make a deal with Bronze Yohn, the most powerful Arryn bannerman, who would be grateful for some outside help in taking custody of Robert Arryn. They can also offer him justice for Robar's death.
