The Winds of Winter - Estimates & Predictions


jaimereborn

Recommended Posts

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All of them.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Jamie and Tyrion.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Vic, Cersei, Mel.



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


I think she'll be closing in over the Narrow Sea.



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Not sure about this.



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


I think there are two possibilities.


Cersei burns KL to the ground after the death of her children and escapes, but runs into Jaime who strangles her for this.


Or Jamie stops the Wildfire plot 2.0 again and kills Cersei. Then, fAegon arrives to lay a siege.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Rickon with Davos and Stan the Man and other northmen.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Might be something about Others and stumbles upon some conspiracy of FM or Maesters.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes



Is Aegon fake?


He thinks he is Targ. But only Varys (possibly Ilyrio as well) knows the truth.



Is Jon still alive?


I hope so.



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


I don't think Howland Reed would blab this kind of thing to anyone but Jon. So maybe in the next novel.



What role will Dorne play?


Hard to tell. We all know Doran is very calculating and patient. Depends on the inteligence Nym, Tyene and Arriane will provide.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Not sure about that one, but I think Theon will outlive his sister and his uncles.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


What's Others' deal.


Who's the Harpy.


Is Mirri Mazz Durr's prophecy fullfiled?


What the hell is Robert Strong?



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Probably not. Although I hope Arya will meet her sister, but Sansa won't recognize her and Arya won't blow her cover. (either for FM or her personal reasons)



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


Definetely not. He has to got out of this one somehow.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?

All of them.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?

Jamie and Tyrion.



Which POVs are most likely to die?

Theon, JonCon



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?

Maybe at three quaters but i dunno on what circumstances



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?

Totally invaded the north


Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?

Tommen but completely controlled by the tyrells

Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?
Stannis will have it handed over to Rickon or just about to.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?

Nothing about the others or anything like that. Too far south to be of any relevance. Maybe something about taming dragons



Will Cersei win her trial?

Yes


Is Aegon fake?

A different color of dragon


Is Jon still alive?

Yes, wounded and naturally healed. Nothing like warging of unJon


If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?

We will know but He won't. I don't see Howland Reed going that far north just to tell him so. although we don't know where he is


What role will Dorne play?

Major, they will show their game and promise Arianne hand to Faegon (Doran wouldn't know He is a Fake) and they will be the main antagonist to the Tyrells in the iron throne.


What role will the Iron Islands play?

Just what they have been doing. Messing things up. Maybe Victarion reaches and help the battle at meeren but Being Khaleesi at the dothraki sea, i don't think they'll meet


Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?

-Jon's parentage

-Who is coldhands


Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

Not, Sansa and Arya will se each other again. Arya will be sent to bring the gift of mercy to Alyane (because she has grow in power and danger) and whe she sees that is Sansa, she won't do it, leaving the FM for good. But they will go their separate ways again.

It's perfect! both of them will snap out of their distractions and focus on what's important.


Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?

Brienne will break her Oath and kill LS in order to save Jaime. It's perfect, Brienne will finally understand that remain truth to oneself is more important that an oath that no longer means what it was when sworn.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All and perhaps we'll have Rickon as POV as well. I hope so!



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Tyrion and Cersei. I don't want Jaimie to die but it seems to be going that way. Maybe Lancel can fill him for him. It can be interesting given that he has changed so much since book 1 and his involvment with the faith vs protecting his family legacy (plus his dad just died).



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Connington, Jaimie and Arianne Martell (one Dornish has to take a blow at least to make them take openly action)



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


No. Too predictable.



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Beginning of the invasion during the last chapter of TWOW.



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


Nobody we'll except or like to see. I think Stannis though Dorne and the North will split from the Seven Kingdoms.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Stannis and the Manderlys who will quietly wait until Rickon is back to turn their back on Stannis.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Info about the origins of dragons and the others and to craft weapons with obsidian.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes but the faith, Randy Tarly and the Tyrells will spy on her and try to bring her down anyway.



Is Aegon fake?


He is a fake maybe Illyrio Mopatis son or he bought him young (a slave's baby) to put his and Varys plan in action...



Is Jon still alive?


Yes and no. He will be revived but will then lose bits of his soul.



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


He won't but Bran or even Melissandre will.



What role will Dorne play?


Having no answers from Danaerys they will side with Aegon. And Sarella Sand has her own agenda.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Asha will end up married to one of the Boltons ex bannerman that Stannis will have gained after the Battle of Winterfell. Ensuing the battle, Theon will have to confront Ramsay during a trial to reveal that Bran and Rickon are alive and that he married Jeyne Poole instead of Arya.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


Benjen Stark disappearance and why he took the black, Jon Snow's parents, stuff about the others (Night's king?, necromancy), the horn of Joramun, how to bind a dragon, the mystery that is Ashai etc..



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


No but Bran will try to catch a glimpse of them.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


I hope because that way he'll get to live. But I think she'll kill him for not fulfilling his promise. She'll use Brienne instead.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All of them that are still alive now



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Jaime, Tyrion



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Cersei, Theon, Victarion, JonCon, Barristan



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Yes, but only at the very end



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


They will have breached The Wall, but not a full on invasion yet. I think there will be a major wight infestation first.


Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


Samwell Tarley, but seriously more like Jon, Stannis or Dany.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Sansa/Rickon, but Bran will be back sometime in aDoS.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Enhanced knowledge of ravens, green men, dragons and weirFi



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes, but she's still on a downward spiral.



Is Aegon fake?


Yes



Is Jon still alive?


Yes



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


Yes, most likely in Winterfell crypts, but may not completely understand or accept it yet. I don't think we will see Howland Reed until aDoS.



What role will Dorne play?


They will make some serious messes in KL, and bring Cersei and Tommen down. They would be smarter to go with Dany, but could go with fAegon instead.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Hardest storyline to figure out, but I think they will end up giving up on the North and move into more southern areas. I doubt Victarion will survive, but Euron will most likely hold on until the last book.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


Benjen, Coldhands (may or may not be the same person), Isle of Faces, Harrenhal curse.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Most likely Sansa/Jon/Rickon, possibly Arya/Sansa/Stoneheart



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


Freys yes, but Lannisters much less likely.

Jaime, Tyrion

Which POVs are most likely to die?

Cersei, Victarion, JonCon, Barristan

Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?

Yes

Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?

They will have breached The Wall, but full-on invasion? Na..

Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?

No one and I do not mean Arya. King's Landing will be destroyed.

Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?

Jon Snow, not as Stannis's Stark or even Commander of Night's Watch but as the Last Hero, using it as a base of operations against the Others.

What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?

How the dragons died and the connection between fire and ice, Dragons and the Others.

Will Cersei win her trial?

No

Is Aegon fake?

Maybe but it doesn't matter. We may never know. To this day we do not know if one of the major claimants to the throne in the War of the Roses was real or fake. Power resides where people believe it resides. If Aegon proves to be a strong and much loved King he will be King and people will believe he is real, whether he is or not will not matter.

Is Jon still alive?

Yes. Do not believe his wounds were fatal or even if they were Melisandra will bring him back like Thoros brought back Dondarian.

If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?

Yes, through evidence in the Winterfell crypts, and the reappearance of Howland Reed

What role will Dorne play?

They will help to bring down Cersei/Tommen. The question is whether they will support Aegon or Danny or both.

What role will the Iron Islands play?

They will wreck havoc on the mainland before being driven out by Aegon, Danny and the North.

Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?

The Great Northern Conspiracy and the Dorne Conspirarcy

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

Jon, Arya, Sansa and Rickon will all be united by the end of TWOW.

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?

Yes, but do not know exactly how

They will first ally with Aegon, but he will set them aside to make a deal with the Tyrells, Adrianne then committing suicide. After Myrcella's death, Doran will offer Tristane to Dany. She'll accept (Hizdahr long dead) and begin her invasion from the South. First stop: Highgarden.

What role will the Iron Islands play?

Euron will sack Highgarden, killing the Queen of Thorns after she tries to poison him. Theon will fight for Stannis after Bran speaks through the weirwood and blesses him. He will join Mace Tyrell in a siege of Highgarden that begins as the book ends. Damphair will lead an insurrection against Erik Ironmaker, taking the Iron Islands throne in Asha's name.

Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?

R+L=J

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

Jon/Rickon and Sansa/Arya

A warning: all of my answers are off the top of my head with little to no thought beforehand, read at your own discretion.



Which Starks will be left standing?



All the children will be left standing. I believe that Catelyn/LS will become redead or die again, whatever.



What POV Lannisters will be left standing?



I don't foresee Tyrion dying anytime soon. I am not sure about Jaime and Cersei, however I do think they will both die around the same time, so I will say both will die in WoW.



Which POV's are most likely to die?



Without completely thinking about everyone who's been a POV, I will say off the top of my head that Barristan, JonCon and Victarion are for sure the most likely. Asha Greyjoy is a possibility, since I dont see her story progressing past the 6th book as I believe that Dream of Spring will refocus itself more upon the core characters.



Will Dany reach Westeros by the end of Wow?



Short answer: Yes!



Will the Others have invaded Westeros by the end of tWoW?



Yes, I do think they will be breach the wall, and perhaps just start to enter the northern region around the gift. I think an epilogue chapter of someone in the Night's Watch being in Mole's Town enjoying a woman, being killed by White Walkers would be cool. And now I'm immediately shooting down that idea because why in the world would a NW member be in Mole's Town with a pending invasion, Fool of a Took!



Who will be sitting the Iron Throne at the end of tWoW?



My mind changes every two seconds on this one. I think Stannis will sit the Throne at some point near the end of tWoW, but I think he will quickly be killed after he takes it, with a bite of irony after his long struggle to win it. And since I see Aegon/fAegon, what have you, taking it early in the book and losing it fairly quickly, I'll have to say Stannis dies early in Dream of Spring, so long story short the answer is: Stannis. Didn't think I'd ever say that.



Who will hold Winterfell?



I see two options: One being Sansa and the other Davos with Rickon in the stead of Stannis.



What will Sam discover in Oldtown?



One, that the horn he has found will be of huge importance (wink). And two that the Faceless Men / Maester conspiracies, whatever those may be.



Will Cersei win her trial?



Yep



Is Aegon fake?



I think so, not as convinced as others though.



is Jon still alive?



Yes, I do think that everyone looks to far into this and that he warged into Ghost. How he regains Human form, I'm not sure, either Melisandre or the help of Bran.



What role will Dorne play?



Early on they will ally with Aegon and he will marry Arianne. I also think that they will opose Dany due to Quentyn's death, which ultimately leaves a battle between Dany and Aegon's forces of which Dany will win.



What role with the Iron Islands play?



As I referenced earlier, I think they're overall importance will lessen greatly by the end of the book. Asha's storyline will revolve around Theon/Reek. I think there will be a vie for Dany among Victarion/Euron, Euron will win and I think Euron creates chaos among the South, but ultimately does not accomplish much. The Iron Island narrative leaves me at a loss and I don't think will be hugely important in the end.



Which mystery/theory would I most like to be solved?



I wanna say R+L=J, because I think by now everyone knows this and I think GRRM ultimately planned this to be a huge reveal and now realizes that most know, so I hope he doesn't put as much stock into the shock and awe of the reveal.



Will any Starks be reunited?



I think the most likely would be Sansa and Rickon in Winterfell. Bran will not with anyone. Perhaps Jon at Winterfell.



Will Jaime help bring Lady Stoneheart bring down the Lannister/Freys?



I think Jaime continues his quest of redemption and LS will realize that Jaime isn't a truely awful Human being and she will be put to rest or killed with a sense of peace.

Is Aegon fake?

Yes, in the house of the undying Dany was told about a ''cloth dragon'', and that she'd be a ''slayer of lies'', and Quaithe says ''Mummer's dragon''. Also Varys could never have known that Aegon would be unrecognizably murdered. I think Aegon is a blackfyre, like Varys.

The Great Northern Conspiracy, Jon's parentage, whether Aegon is real or fake, whether Joanna truly loved Aerys or not, whether Ashara committed suicide and why exactly, why the Daynes honor the Starks and why they have a connection, why Darkstar went nuts, who is the harpy, etc

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

Jon and Sansa. Maybe Sansa and UnCat.

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?

No idea.

These are just my opinions and guesses.

They will try to bring down Cersei (and Tommen) and once they join Aegon's side, they will marry him to Arianna and kill Myrcella who no longer has any use to them as they don't need to align with the Lannisters anymore.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


They will have some involvement in getting Dany and Aegon across the sea. Theon will end up joining the Black and may eventually sacrifice himself in ADOS to save his sister or Bran.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


Where Benjen Stark went. Who is Darkstar?



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Arya and Lady Stoneheart. Arya will put her out of her misery. Maybe Sansa and Rickon but can't see her leaving the Vale yet



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


The Freys in this book yes. In ADOS he will kill Cersei

Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Maybe towards the very end or in the prologue.

No.



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


(f)Aegon



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Stannis.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Some tantalizing information about what the Maesters are up to which will spawn a hundred threads on this forum, but not the whole Maester conspiracy.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes



Is Aegon fake?


Yes



Is Jon still alive?


Yes, warged into Ghost



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


No. Us readers might have though but I doubt it.



What role will Dorne play?


They will support fAegon.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Hopefully not a large one. They may make fAegon's conquest easier by weakening Highgarden, perhaps.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


The Others. Varys/Illyrio conspiracy.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Nah.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


Maybe.

On the whole I think many of the predictions on this thread are way too optimistic. Given the pace of the last two books I don't see how the plot can progress so fast and so much further in WoW. I mean, Dany arriving, the Others invading AND Jon finding out about R+L=J? Too good to be true imo. I also think this series won't be finished in 7 books, we'll need at least 8.


Really hope I'm wrong though.

I feel the same way. GRRM has changed plans about the number of books several times already. First there were supposed to be 4 books, then 4 became 6, then 6 became 7... when I think how much story still has to told and what mysteries have to be solved (I know not ALL is going to be revealed, but still!), 2 books just don't seem enough.

And he has said the book 6 and 7 will be big books, 1500 pages each. The previous books consist of about a 1000 pages. Take the 500 extra from both future books and we already have a 3rd book. If that will happen I think we will get 4 more books... :') I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

But that's why I think it's so stupid that the show has apparently decided to have a maximum of 7 seasons (correct me if I'm wrong)... just so stupid, that's nowhere near enough :(

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All of them who are still alive as of ADwD.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


All of them. I think Cersei survives until ADoS.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Melisandre. JonCon. Barristan. Asha. Brienne.



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


If so, it will be her very last chapter. I think TWoW will cover her journey back to Westeros after the Battle of Meereen.



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


No, but I think the Wall will be coming down due to them and it will be in the back third of the book.



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


Aegon.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Stannis.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


He will learn about the Maesters' role in exterminating dragons/magic.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes.



Is Aegon fake?


I believe he is real.



Is Jon still alive?


Yes.



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


No.



What role will Dorne play?


They will help Aegon take the Iron Throne.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Victarion provides Dany's army a means to get back to Westeros via The Iron Fleet. Theon reveals the truth about Bran and Rickon to Stannis and the northmen. Euron's attack on the Shield Islands causes a distraction to the Iron Throne/Tyrells which inadvertently gives Aegon the chance to take King's Landing unawares.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


I want to know 1) Jon Snow's parentage and 2) will anybody else ride the dragons and, if so, who will it be?



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


No.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


No. I think Brienne helps Jaime escape but loses her life in the process. Also think Stoneheart goes down with her. I just struggle to see the significance of LS once this plot concludes.
