Lord Ser Septon Maester Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Not really. He has no claim to it and he's a child. Hard to see him trying to sit it or anyone following him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Wylla Manderly Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I don't think the Iron Throne will exist at the end for anyone to sit on. I don't just mean it in a "There'll probably be seven kingdoms again in Westeros way," (though I certainly think that, too) but I also don't think the Iron Throne will literally exist anymore. Under Aerys II's orders, "thousands of jars of wildfire were gathered and placed in key positions under King's Landing. Hundreds were placed under the Dragonpit and the Great Sept of Baelor, under every one of the city's gates and even under the Red Keep itself. The pyromancers did their work in secret and did not trust their apprentices with the knowledge." Not all of these jars have been discovered. That means they're still scattered beneath King's Landing and even the Red Keep itself. We know that wildfire gets more fickle and dangerous as it ages. With all the Cersei/Aerys parallels Jaime has been subtly making... with the fact that Cersei is sure to win her trial... with how it's given that her paranoia will probably increase after Kevan's death... yeah, things are not looking good. (Also, I know "Game of Thrones" show is not canon at all, but D&D know how the books are going to end, so I thought I'd mention this anyway: When Daenerys entered HoTU, she saw a vision of the Throne Room of the Red Keep. I thought the roof looked suspiciously like it's been burned. Obviously the Iron Throne was still there in the scene, but I just don't see it not melting away or getting ruined at least if there was a shitstorm of wildfire in the Red Keep.)

Lord Lyman Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Bran will leave the cave, but he will never go south of the Neck will never sit the thrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grail King Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 KL is toast, not only because of the wildfire but also a certain auburn lady from the North wished for someone to burn the Sept of Bailor down. We know how her wish for Slynt went, this time it will be Cersei doing the honors. ETA: No Bran will not sit the Iron Throne, he will be Lord of WF, he's leaving the cave IMO.

RobertRivers Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 He's going to sit the weirwood throne that he's been taking his lessons on. I don't think bran is going to leave that cave. Even with all the power he has and is going to have, I would imagine that it would be a bitch getting to the wall.I think hodor has a better chance of getting to the wall and that's only when bran controls him.

Bendercj Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Bran will never sit the Iron Throne. But in many ways he will be more powerful than whoever rules Westeros, similar to Bloodraven, he will be able to control and manipulate things, and he may decide who does sit the Iron throne if it continues to exist. He may have been responsible for things that have already happened in the novels, like Jon becoming Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHappyFaceSalesman Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 He could sit on it for a few seconds and then,seeing as he doesn't have the use of the lower half of his body,slide back and bleed to death on all the blades. Poor Bran </3 trees are much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balerion the kitten Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Some characters haven't reached the point their story's been building to, but some have and Bran is one of them. He's reached his destination, anymore plot twists it's going to get ridiculous. Haha, didn't mean to do that. I like the idea if him being the next three eyed crow, that's what made me fall in love with his chapters when before I hated them. He'll have his tree throne but not the iron throne. And he'll be far more powerful than any king could hope to be because bran will be the next thing to a God.I don't think the Iron Throne will exist at the end for anyone to sit on.

Lady Wylla Manderly Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Why is everyone assuming that Bran will never leave that cave? While I completely agree that he will play a role from within that cave during the War for Dawn, that doesn't mean he still can't return, live a full life, and then resume his duties as the Last Seer, just like Bloodraven did. No one dragged Brynden Rivers to the cave when he was ten and told him he had to stay there forever. Bloodraven would rise to become Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch in 239 AC, serving until his disappearance during a ranging beyond the Wall in 252 AC. There's no reason whatsoever that Bran cannot become Brandon the Rebuilder, King In the North -or- Lord of Winterfell, live a full life, and then leave the North to his heir Rickon and go to visit the Night's Watch. A thousand years later, some maester will write about how a little crippled boy became Brandon the Rebuilder and restored House Stark to its former glory, before his mysterious disappearance while visiting the Night's Watch. It seems to me like most of these "OH, BRAN WILL FOREVER STAY IN THAT CAVE FOR SURE!" comments stem from his diability. He can't have children, he can't run and fight, so he should stay in that cave instead of doing lordly things, right???!! No. It breaks my heart that a nine/ten year old boy thinks in ADWD that he doesn't WANT to be married to a tree, but who else would have a broken boy like him? And the fandom seems to agree.

I agree with this as well. The Iron Throne will be destroyed and so will Kings Landing...as someone else mentioned...Sansa wanted the Sept of Baelor to burn so that is pretty much a given. Bran won't sit the Iron Throne, but he will leave the cave and have a significant role in the end of the story. I think ASoIaF will end with Bran's epilogue from Winterfell. The story began with Bran in Winterfell, so I think it will end with Bran in Winterfell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want my adorable baby prince to become a great ruler and be happy. Also, he's one of the top five most important characters ever, so it baffles me that people think he's just remain in that cave forever and be never heard of again.

SacredOrderOfGreenMen Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The Iron Throne? No. But he will be the Stark in Winterfell, on a throne first of stone then of weirwood as he joins the heart tree in old age, absolutely. Bran could perch for hours among the shapeless, rain-worn gargoyles that brooded over the First Keep, watching it all: the men drilling with wood and steel in the yard, the cooks tending their vegetables in the glass garden, restless dogs running back and forth in the kennels, the silence of the godswood, the girls gossiping beside the washing well.It made him feel like he was lord of the castle, in a way even Robb would never know.-Bra, AGOT "The rooftops of Winterfell were his second home."-Bran, AGOT "He had never feared the crypts. They were part of his home and who he was, and he had always known that one day he would lie there here, too."-Bran, ACOK Maester Luwin said after.‘One day you will be a good lord for Winterfell, I think.’”- Bran, ACOK Why must he waste his time listening to old men speak of things he only half understood? Because you’re broken, a voice reminded him. A lord on his cushioned chair might be crippled, but not a knight on his destier. Besides, it was his duty. -Bran, ACOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
