Giles the Wizard Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 How far will Aegon/fAegon get in his conquest of Westeros? Will he be defeated before he gets any further? Will he take over any of the seven kingdoms (Riverlands, etc)? Will he get the Iron Throne?How much do you think he will accomplish, and if he fails, when and how do you think his campaign will end?

Gibzit Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think he will have the Stormlands, Crownlands, Dorne and maybe the Reach, but then he will probably be defeated by Dany since she has dragons and unsullied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Stark-Targaryen Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Pretty sure Aegon will be the one to end the Lannister hold on King's Landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle Pup From Astapor Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Yep, I also think he gets the Iron Throne. Martells have to get their revenge, Arianne has to become the "more beautiful queen" that Cersei is so waiting for. He probably won't have to fight Tyrells -- if Margaery gets killed by the Faith or by Cersei, Tyrells will probably just go home, maybe they'll cause some destruction first. I don't know if Aegon will manage to get most of the lords paramount on his side, he might die before that. Either way, he won't sit on the Iron Throne long.

aryagonnakill#2 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I believe Aegon will take the throne the day Dany lands on Dragonstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Santa of House Claus Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Yeah, I think he takes the Iron Throne and up into the Westerlands and Riverlands. With Cersei doing her best to drive the Tyrell's away, they will run to Aegon as soon as possible, maybe a reverse of what Tywin did and they will sack King's Landing as their way of showing "loyalty" to Aegon. After that there really isn't an army to oppose them south of the Neck and Vale. While I do think it will be Dany that defeats him, that is going to take awhile considering her location and situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeethGrinder Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 He will win the Iron Throne, secure the alliance of Dorne but he'll eventually fall to the Greyjoy/Dany alliance. He's been portrayed as an incredibly admirable character. Tough to see how Dany takes him out while still appearing "good", both to readers and to Westeros - Aegon has been foreshadowed to be loved by the people. Even if exposed as a fake, I don't think the readers will feel less sympathy for Young Griff, who obviously believes he's Aegon. I think his purpose is to bring a darker element to Dany's character. That's not to say she wont eventually redeem that element down the line. Euron is going to be trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Moat Cailin Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I think (maybe hope is a better word) Dany and he will rule jointly like William and Mary with Jon Stark as their Hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb1180 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 He'll win the Iron Throne for a short time. One of several to do so before we reach the end of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 ^ A lot of people seem to forget George said that. People talk like Dany will take the throne next and I always point that line out and they are like well ya thats 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People talk like Dany will take the throne next and I always point that line out and they are like well ya thats 2. I agree. This SSM originates from a time when Joffrey was still on the throne, if I remember correctly, but only Tommen has succeeded to the throne since then. There might be another "succession" to the throne in the sense of Lannister to Tyrell, that is, in regards to who truly has control over Tommen. (AFFC: "For the moment, his idea of kingship is stamping papers with the royal seal." "Tommen puts his seal on every paper that you put in front of him." "If there was one part of kingship that Tommen loved, it was playing with his seal.") Aegon could be the next king. Perhaps a Greyjoy could be after him, assuming the dragon horn works as it's said to? In the end, I see there not being an Iron Throne at the end of the series, most likely having been literally destroyed by wildfire. Daenerys ascending to a "throne" that no longer exist (which was ironically destroyed by fire) would also fit well to this bittersweet ending that GRRM has been hinting at. (If she become the ultimate leader; I have several ideas who this might be.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of the opinion that the "Aegon" mystery will be one we will never truly be able to solve, but an ending where Daenerys turns into an antagonist, unsure of whether she is doing the right thing by going to war with a self-proclaimed nephew - and possibly killing him in the process - is very much GRRM's grey-character-style.

Kyrion Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 First it was Tommen, Then Myrcella (Who is on her way to KL now), the it will be Aegon, as he will win it definitely, probably Myrcella dies someway aswell, and Cersei will burn the city down, but in effect he will have the burned city. After that, its up in the air who wins the Second Dance of the Dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connartist92 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 He probably won't have to fight Tyrells -- if Margaery gets killed by the Faith or by Cersei, Tyrells will probably just go home, maybe they'll cause some destruction first. If Margaery gets killed, the Tyrells aren't just going to go home. They'd probably ally themselves with Stannis, the North, f/Aegon, Dany, hell somebody.. It would be like Elia of Dorne all over again, with the whole family seeking vengeance. Except I don't think they'll wait 15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It has been foreshadowed that Cersei will TRY to burn the city, but it has also been foreshadowed that all her children, as well as Aegon and Dany will sit the throne, so the only way for all that to happen is for her to try and fail.

Wheres the foreshadowing that Dany or Aegon will sit the IT? I highly doubt they exist. Aegon will win it just for a necessity, as for there to be a second Dance of the Dragons, Aegon has to has the throne. Dany will have to win it from him, which may or may not happen. But I figure Jon will be involved in the second dance aswell, so it wont just be Aegon vs Dany, likely Jon will be the wild card in there aswell.

Balerion the kitten Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I very much see a dance of the dragons 2 happening between them.Aegon will have the love of the people (as seen in HOTU when a mummers dragon had a crowd of people cheering him) and daenerys will be feared, after all she's accepted what it means to be a Dragon.This is why I'm not convinced he'll sit the throne. If the first dance showed us anything it's that the green side (Aegon) had less dragons and in the end didn't win.He's been portrayed as an incredibly admirable character. Tough to see how Dany takes him out while still appearing "good", both to readers and to Westeros - Aegon has been foreshadowed to be loved by the people. Even if exposed as a fake, I don't think the readers will feel less sympathy for Young Griff, who obviously believes he's Aegon.After daenerys last chapter I don't think her number one priority is being loved but rather being feared.
