Where will Theon and Sansa run to since Stannis has fallen (most likely anyway)?


The Lash

Well her story can go many ways:

1. The wall, because word will not reach her about Jon's death before getting there.

2. Last Hearth, not White Harbor as Manderly's hasn't been mentioned ( yet) .

3. The Riverlands, because she has family in the area ( hopefully )

4. Sansa could double back and head to the Vale.

5. Sansa can get recaptured, by a hunter/ tracker.

One way or another either Brienne and or Davos will be asked or told to find Rickon and or Bran.

The way the show plays with the geography of Westeros I will not be surprised if they make it to the Wall with no trouble. 

 

But yeah as a previous poster said Broken legs can't run and atleast in the books they had really deep snow to cushion their fall and they were still limping when they got to Stannis' camp.

 

Now as Robert pointed out all the way back in season 1 the North is largely empty, Theon and Sansa can not go to the Wintertown as that is the first place Ramsey and his goons will search. They could try the Wolfswood and either travel to Deepwood Motte or use the woods to hide and go north to the mountains and the wall. Without Stannis and the Umbers their best bet is to travel west and North.

 

one thing is clear though they need to meet up with Brienne and Pod who somehow went around Moat Cailin without the Crannogmen's help or evidently a boat. Those muthafuggas are gifted.

I would be very surprised if a Vale army follows Littlefinger anywhere.


In the show, Littlefinger has the full cooperation of the Valemen. There's no reason to think they won't, particularly as the show has basically elided the internal politics of that region.

Sansa and Theon will undoubtably be picked up by Briene. I seriously think, Theon will not live long. His arc is completed as far as I am concerned and many others too. He cannot sire and heir to the iron islands and he snapped out of his "funk". So, let him cushion Sansa's fall and die honorably. Briene will learn from Sansa that Jon is LC and head toward the wall. Mel will undoubtably light a fire of somekind up there and see them in their vision, being chased by Ramsay and her a and Davos will intervene, maybe Ghost will tag along? and make it to Last Hearth and find Rickon. It seems easy at this point. That is probably why it will not go down this way at all.

I am almost of the opinion that they will be recaptured and the Vale will march on Winterfell. This will continue the LF/Sansa story arc. Also, I think the Lord's Declarant will back LF since Sansa went to bat for Petyr. He is the Lord of Harrenhall and Regent of the Vale. Plus the Vale Lord's will be scheming for Sweet Robyn/Sansa marriage (After it is known how Ramsay treated her and he is dead). The Vale knows that if Sansa is unearthed the North will rally to her. The only reason the North has capitulated to the Boltons so far is under threat of Roose Bolton. That only works for so long. Petyr would be in a Grand position to grant titles and lands over a vast area for support.
And he will get to be Warden of The North if he delivers Sansa. He will play the Vale against the Lannisters (they are broke in the show and live off the crown, which the IB will put a stop to) and bide his time til he is sure of the victorious side. With Tywin gone and Jaime unwilling to lead, Cersei will be at the helm, she will fuck that up right away, after he 'digs' up Sansa for her and receives his title. Petyr won't sit the throne, but he will be the most powerful man in Westeros and the supreme power til Dany crosses the Narrow Sea and the White Walkers attack in force.

Plus, Petyr is rich, like Illyrio rich (Varys considers him the most dangerous man in Westeros, that is quite a compliment coming from The Master Of Whispers. The One who turned a trusted lieutenant that Petyr knew about all along). He was Master of Coin, do you the think he did not take some for himself along with his other profitable enterprises? His only overhead as far as I can see is paying his girls and his spy network. He can afford to buy sellswords too. Golden Company maybe? Or the ones that deserted from Stannis? (This is what I am leaning towards, Petyr knows they were cold and hungry, He bought them with gold and food. Petyr did not go to the Vale without having his people in place. He is not dumb.)

That is his game, he said it, he is going to fuck them over, that's how he will win.

On a more practical note, it will cut down on excess story with Sansa and Theon having to travel and increase the amount of story that needs to be told.

The idea of Ghost chewing up Ramsay is something I'd pay to see.

I said "I would be very surprised if a Vale army follows Littlefinger anywhere."

But the overall politics of the Kingdom are present in the show.

Roose Bolton is the Warden of the North, as legitimate as Petyr Baelish.

The Vale's bannermen would need powerful reasons to rally behind a newcomer such as Baelish to attack the North.

 

For what they know:

Ramsay Bolton married Sansa Stark with Littlefinger's blessings.

Why would the Valemen think she is not happily married now?  

Is that their problem anyway?

Sansa hasn't request their help so far, and she is not in the position to send a raven right now.

Winter is a b*tch both in the North and in the Vale.

Even if news of Sansa disappearing reaches the Vale, is a war the way to address it while nobody knows her whereabouts?

_____________________________

 

That doesn't mean that Littlefinger will not go to Winterfell anytime soon.  Or that Sansa won't run into him.  Those are still possibilities.

But a full blown Vale army? I don't think so.

I can't imagine Theon and Sansa escaping at all, D&D have written themselves into another corner. Sure, they may run into Brienne who will escort them to the Wall, but isn't the Wall hundreds of miles from Winterfell? How would Brienne protect Sansa/Theon from Ramsay and his fleet of 20 good men (or a whole Bolton army, since Sansa as the key to the North should be pretty damn important to the Boltons)? Also, wasn't Ramsay right behind them as he had just returned from the battle? And hasn't it been established that Ramsay is a good hunter since he was able to recapture Theon after releasing him from the Dreadfort in Season 3? OR will D&D have it so Ramsay doesn't notice Sansa or Theon are gone until they're already hundreds of miles away from Winterfell, days later? I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

Why can't they?

In book Theon and Jeyne did escape and were brought to Stannis, Sansa and Theon escaped, but where is Podrick?

Also we have hints of the common people are for Sansa and house Stark so it is possible they get her either to CB, Last Hearth, River Lands, back to the Eyrie or hide her among themselves.

I will also mention White Harbor though the town has not been mentioned ( I think) in show.

This is one of the great clffhangers of the offseason. I know, Jon, Jon, Jon. Well, not worried about it. Sansa I am as they have diverted her so much, anything and I do mean "anything" could happen to her. Theon is much more expendable and him dying while cushioning her fall would be a good and noble end to the turncloak.

They're Stark loyalists in the show and dislike the Boltons, and Lord Arryn and Lord Royce will command it.

Er, no, they very much don't know that.  Nobody does.

:agree:  She was Alayne, niece of Littlefinger when she was in the Vale. For all the lords there know, she left with her uncle to go back to King's Landing.

The Boltons may have sent out a raven proclaiming the marriage of Ramsay & Sansa, and they could've been like "Ah the Stark girl's back home. Good for her."

She outed herself in the show after Lysa's death vouching for LF, she is Alayne in the books still.

LF told Royce he was going to the Fingers, Royce may not like being lied to.

Yeah, and if LF claims she was kidnapped away from him and they "buy" that, I would not be surprised.
