Will Stannis have a role to play in the upcoming Aegon vs Euron vs Dany conflict?


Recommended Posts

At this point, let us assume that the Lannisters are no longer in power, Aegon has taken the throne, Euron is still causing havoc in the South, Dany has landed and Stannis: has defeated the Boltons, rallied the North behind his cause and has made Rickon his puppet Lord of Winterfell.

One would assume that after Stannis restores Winterfell to the Starks, the Riverlords would also throw their lot behind him. I personally believe that the pro-Stark Riverlords (Mallisters, Blackwoods, Pipers etc.) will join Dany after she burns The Twins and restores House Tully.

I think that the one player who could make a difference, in this case, is Sansa: she could be in control of the Vale and have the option to join either Stannis/Rickon, Euron, Aegon or Dany, OR she could call ALL of them usurpers and start her own campaign as Queen of the Vale. I think that Sansa will do whatever Petyr tells her to do: which I have no idea what will be.

Obviously with the winter causing havoc in the North, and soon, everywhere else, neither Aegon, Euron or Dany would have any interest in the North: however, by the time the fighting in the South is done, and I'm sure that all armies will be severely weakened, could the Stark/Baratheon alliance have the upper hand over the victor in the Euron vs Dany vs Aegon conflict?

Yes. Providing he wins the Battle in Ice, though. I can't see Euron, Aegon or Dany going North any soon: their story line will be in the South (or Dany's will be in the East for a little while longer). I also think that the Mallisters and Blackwoods will join Dany, but Stannis will have VERY FEW Riverlords and Vale Lords supporting hime, as well. The majority of the Vale will back Dany, however, as she's Rhaenyra's parallel, and the Vale supported her claim during the first dance.

I think that a lot of readers underestimate Stannis' chances in the game. Even IF he rallies the North, he still has a wildling army with freaking giants and wargs! So yes, he will be a huge threat to Dany, Euron and Aegon (if he survives!).

I'd love to see giants fighting dragons, it would be such an epic fight :)! Otherwise, I agree with the above post: it all depends on Stannis surviving a little while longer.

Would be a little one sided, unless they have those bows from the show

I think Westeros is going to split in two: Aegon taking the South whilst Stannis stays in the North due to the winter



As for Dany she's in no position to be coming to Westeros anytime soon so I don't really see her as an issue at the moment.



Euron's a joke, no one should take him seriously

Aegon vs Euron conflict will end with Euron's death in Oldtown long before Dany arrives.

I think there will be Dany-Stannis conflict before the Second Dance starts and that will end with the death of Stannis.

Assuming you are right, what will happen to the North, and their lords? Will they follow Dany, or will they try and get rid of her once she's done with Stannis?

After Dany defeats Stannis, The Northmen will retreat to North and Dany will turn South to face fAegon. The North might crown Rickon but Dany will not pursue them as he has a bigger fish (fAegon) to fry in the South. The defeat of Stannis will convince the Vale Lords to join Dany without any resistance. Then Dany will secure Riverlands and burn down the Twins.

Even if he destroys the Redwyne fleet in the upcoming battle?

Winning battles doesn't mean you can win a war. The Ironborn are too weak to make an actual impact in the long term, right now they're just a nuisance.

Euron lacks allies, money, and a proper land army. His whole plan is based on the assumption that Dany will give him her dragons simply because she's a woman

I think that you might be right, but you're forgetting one very important player: The Blackfish. If you're prediction is correct, then when Rickon is crowned, Blackfish will try and turn the Riverlands against Dany: which he will be able to do (think about it, the Riverlords have more honour than fear). So when the dust has settled, a victorious Dany could be facing Rickon's North-Riverlands Kingdom. In other words, we will have a Drogon vs Shaggydog :)!

So your theory is that Dany will land in the North?

Westeros is going to descend into a free-for-all of madness.



The North: Loyal to Stannis.


The Riverlands: Pretty much in total chaos with a small Lannister power-base in the Freys. LF is unable to enforce his claim on the Riverlands.


The Vale: LF/ Sansa are pretty much playing their own game now.


The Iron Islands: Euron continues to pillage.


The Westerlands: Cersei flees to Casterly Rock after she wins her trial by combat but Mace Tyrell refuses to give up the regency, backed by the Gold Cloaks and the Tyrell Guards.


The Reach: Alliance with the Lannisters collapses after Mace refuses to give up the regency and the Tyrell's have de facto control in KL. HIghgarden will be sacked.


Dorne: Doran will be (F)aegon's main source of power, and Arianne will be wed to him.


Stormlands: (F)aegon in control with the backing of most of the storm lords.





Literally everyone will be against eachother. Stannis will most likely wage war on Dany first, as I think Dany will attack KL as soon as she can. Afterwords, she will march north through the Riverlands and eventually meet up with Stannis around Moat Cailin.

Whatever happens, I want a Dany/Stannis alliance to fight off the Others.



However, if the Others prove to be merely a distraction from the ultimate fight for the throne, I want:


1- The main players to forget about Stannis, while he gathers his strenght


2- for Dany to win the throne at great cost (including her dragons)


3- An lastly for Stannis and co. to appear in the throne room just when Dany sits the Iron Throne and thinks/talks about her winning the war because she is the 'blood of the dragon' (God, I hate that phrase).
