It's complicated, Ghost, Melisandre, Asha and Theon POVs but no Jon POV.



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


No, he will not know. He will learn his heritage eventually by a combination of BenJen, Mance and Melisandre



What role will Dorne play?


Make Dany unstoppable and make Sam's time in Oldtown more dangerous than his time at the wall.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?

Jon Snow, Bran, Rickon, Sansa, Arya, Theon.

Yes, I consider Theon a Stark.

Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?

Jaime, Tyrion, Cersei

Which POVs are most likely to die?

Melisandre, Cersei, Barristan, Jaime, Victarion

Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?

No. In fact, I doubt Daenerys ever returns to Westeros.

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

Probably.

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

Nominally Tommen. In practice, one of the Tyrells. Probably Mace, since the others are much too smart to want to be quite so exposed.

Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?

Stannis, if he survives. Hopefully not for long. I am rooting for Theon, though.

What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?

He will find evidence of the Faceless Men activity.

Will Cersei win her trial?

No

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 idea.

What role will Dorne play?

They will enable an understanding between Daenerys and the Iron Bank, saving Meereen and Daenerys both.

What role will the Iron Islands play?

Good question. I expect to see them break out into various factions. Euron will probably be betrayed, but perhaps not in TWOW yet.

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

Where is Howland Reed?

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

Jon, Theon and Bran.

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?

No. Stoneheart isn't that rational anymore. He may turn the Bannerless Men to his side, though.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?




Arya, Jon Snow, Sansa. Bran will get renamed as he becomes something else.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Jaime, Tyrion, Cersei



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Davos, Victarion, Barristan



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


She'll set sail by the end.



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


The wall will fall. I suspect there's an Ice Dragon in it, too.



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


Aegon



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Sansa/Rickon



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


The Citadel is conspiring to kill magic, dragons, and all things that are a threat to them secretly ruling Westeros through controlling its Lords with counsel while simultaneously working together in secret. Even sweet Maester Luwin will look like a villain by the end, and his talks to Bran about how foolish magic is will take on new meaning in hindsight.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes



Is Aegon fake?


No.



Is Jon still alive?


Yes. He'll be resurrected either through Melisandre, in the center of the nine Weirwood trees, or purely through the power of the prophecy. Jon Snow is not going to become a giant dog.



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


Yes



What role will Dorne play?


An alliance with the Targaryens, and a powerful one at that for having not been bled by the war of the five Kings.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


I thought Euron Greyjoy saying he had a dragon egg that he threw into the ocean was significant, and how can it not be? Dragon Eggs are very real things. Either this dragon egg will hatch something Patchface mentioned, or it'll hatch a sea dragon, or he still has it, or he gave it to the House of Black and White to kill Balon, prompting the FM to arrive at the Citadel for a book.



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


The Dragon has three heads.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Yes, in the North.



What role is Sansa going to play?


Sansa is going to kill Littlefinger at the moment of Littlefinger's great moment, taking for herself the fruits of all of his labor to wield great power against the people who once believed she was a stupid little girl with stupid dreams who never learns anything. This will probably coincide with the rise of Jon Snow in the North so the house of Eddard Stark starts to come to fruition all at the same time against its enemies.




What role will Arya play?


Arya will set sail for Westeros at the end and reach the land she once left as the most dangerous and deadly character in the Seven Kingdoms, and people will be in big, big trouble.



I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a contract for Azor Asai, which sets her on her journey.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


Jon, Sansa, (Tree-Bran).



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Jaime (and Tyrion if GRRM is a chicken).



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Cersei, Melisandre, Victarion, Daenerys



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Yes. Finally.



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


Yes.



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


Stannis (not for long).



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Jon? Or Davos with Rickon.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


No idea. But the maesters are really not cool with the dragons, so there is that.



Will Cersei win her trial?


No.



Is Aegon fake?


Yes (still wavering if there is a real Aegon VI hiding in the bushes somewhere).



Is Jon still alive?


Yes. Hell GRRM pretty much said so.



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


I think it's time, yes.



What role will Dorne play?


Will try to ally with FAegon but not sure if this works out (FAegon wants Dany not Arianne). Maybe head a Southern Alliance themselves.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Creating chaos all over the place(es). Nerfing the Tyrell forces.



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


R+L=J. Seriously.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Sansa and Arya (who might be sent to murder Alayne Stone) and Jon and Rickon.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


No.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All. Jon may be a little different, and Bran's probably never gonna truly "live" again, but I think GRRM is bored with killing them. . . until the next book.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


None.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Cersei, Jaime, Tyrion, Areo Hotah, Barristan, JonCon.



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Your guess is as good as mine.



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


They will be starting, but no one will be taking it seriously yet.



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


Aegon or no one (in dispute)



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Jon, or the Manderly bunch with Rickon.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


The glass candles, the Sphynx, maybe some clues on the Others.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes, but there's a good chance Frankengregor will be exposed for what he is, which the HS won't be too thrilled about.



Is Aegon fake?


Yes. Darkstar is the real Aegon. It is known. (Was that a pot cracking?)



Is Jon still alive?


Of course.



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


At the very least, we will have more clues. He's gonna have dreams a la Bran before he "comes back", and may be driven to find some answers, but maybe not.



What role will Dorne play?


Aegon's pawns.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Trolling everyone everywhere, also giving Dany ships.



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


R+L=J. GNC. The reappearance of magic.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Jon and Rickon. Maybe Jon and Arya.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


If she doesn't kill him first, so probably not.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All, but I could see Sansa getting offed.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Jaime and Tyrion



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Cersei, Theon, Barriston, Victarion, Asha, Aeron, Jon Con



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


I predict she'll be in Pentos. The Windblown were promised the city, and I think she'll just happen to meet up with Tyrion and Jorah and maybe Barriston making good on that promise while she shows up with a Dothraki horde. Perhaps she'll hear a rumor Meereen was torched by her dragons and just say screw it. It'll be a long, bloody march west. Would love to read about Mantarys and the demon road.



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


I'm thinking the wall will come down somewhere towards the end. The invasion will be just starting. Maybe they'll get to Winterfell.



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


My man Stannis



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Rickon, or the others.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


I'm thinking the dumbass unknowingly blows the horn of winter atop the Hightower, brings the wall down.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Of course. When the headless Gregor gets revealed she'll go nuts, possibly wipe out with the faith, go full blown Mad King Aerys on the city.



Is Aegon fake?


I don't think it matters. He's going to die.



Is Jon still alive?


Yes.



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


No. GRRM said that in TWOW we'll go farther north into the Land of Always Winter. The only POVs up there (who can walk) are Jon and Mel. I bet she takes him up there, maybe to revive him or find the weird White Walker place shown in Season 4.



What role will Dorne play?


The same role as the Freys in the Red Wedding. Destroys Aegon after he scorns Arianne for Sansa.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Provides the ships for Tyrion and everyone to head back to Pentos. As for Euron, it's anyone's guess.



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


I don't much care about the R + L = J. I'd like to know if Jaime and Cersei are the bastards of the Mad King. Also would like to know if the storm hitting Winterfell really is because someone other than a Stark is holding it.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Kind of. I predict Arya will kill both Fake Arya and Ramsey.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


No. I don't think Stoneheart lasts very long. And Jaime will get away, somehow, maybe Brienne dies for him.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All of them. But I feel like not all of them will appear in the book. And something will happen to Rickon, not death, but his ship will be lost or something otherwise the the Next Lord of Winterfell and Theon plots may be resolved to quickly.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Tyrion, I don't think either Cersei or Jaime will have any impact on the final battles, so they can be cut for more relevant POVS.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


All/any of the Greyjoys, JonCon or Barriston (the Wise Advisors always die before the final battles so their proteges have to sink or swim themselves).



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Yes or at least have a solid plan/timeline for when she will arrive.



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


They will have taken the Wall and the NW will fall. I doubt we will have a repeat of Mance Rayder & the Wildlings vs the NW, where the NW holds the Wall. We have to have the enemy have a greater impact/be a greater threat and Jon will be released from his vows. :leer:



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


Aegon, I hope. But Tommen is still likely.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Stannis.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


The Origin of the Others, Coldhands or Bloodraven. He will find out something useful, but it will be too late by the time he returns to the wall.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes, she needs to be thrown down by a younger Queen and killer by her brother.



Is Aegon fake?


I think their will be a feint on this one. Either we will have evidence he is legit that will be disproven in ADOS or evidence will come out that he's not legit and will be proven false in ADOS.



Is Jon still alive?


Yes, barely alive. And he will be banished from the Wall. So when the Wall falls he won't be there and will live on the avenge his Brothers.



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


Either her will or it will just be revealed to the reader.



What role will Dorne play?


They will support Aegon. And narrate clues/thoughts that prove or disprove his legitimacy.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Honestly, hopefully some of the Greyjoy POVs will be dying off. We don't need 4, they don't have a great enough impact on the overall plot of the story.



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


The Prince that Was Promised/Azor Ahai Reborn.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Sansa and Jon (maybe with Rickon)



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


Yes and no. He may try, but I don't think he will succeed (at least his role will not really impact the overall conflict).



What role will Arya play?


Defects from the FM, maybe gets chased by FM assasins for being a defector who knows too much. Will reunite with Nymeria and her wold pack. I feel like she may be reunited with the Hound, but that last one may just be wishful thinking.



What is this "controversial Sansa chapter"?


GRRM says her chapters will introduce a new plot and Elio said it will make "lemoncake fans happy." So, overall, I think Sansa will do something useful/brave/impressive and it will be controversial for Sansa haters/underestimaters. I think she will probably have a sexual awakening with Randa and learn some secrets or she will escape the Vale with the Mad Mouse and meet Rickon or Jon or LS.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


At the end of TWOW, all of them, though maybe not Rickon. But I think Arya will die before the end of ADOS.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Tyrion and possibly Jaime. Jaime will kill Cersei.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Greyjoys galore, Ser Barriston



Will Dany have reached Westeros?


Yes and ascended the Iron Throne, which I think she will lose in ADOS as she will not be able to unite the Seven Kingdoms.



Will The Others have invaded Westeros?


I think there is much to learn about the Wall. I like the idea that the Others actually built it (I also like the idea of a marriage pact sealed by the Starks to keep the separation sacrosanct - which Jon Snow may have to repeat, to the doom of his real affections for Arya). I think in TWOW the wall and the NW will fall, and by the end of ADOS some kind of equilibrium will be restored, but at significant cost to the Starks.



Who will be on the Iron Throne?


Dany. But she will lose it in ADOS



Who will hold Winterfell?


Stannis is as good a shout as any. But he will lose it; it will be in Stark hands again by the end. I still think the Final Battle will be at Winterfel.



What will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Something to do with the marriage pact with the Starks and the Others, or something else significant to do with the Others



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes. But she will die anyway, probably at Jaime's hand (though I'd love GRRM to trick me on that one)



Is Aegon fake?


I don't care. He's a distraction and he will fall by the wayside, real or fake.



Is Jon alive?


Yes, preserved in ice, as foreseen, maybe for some time. How he "comes back to life", I'm not sure. I think if by Mel he wouldn't be preserved in ice for a time; so maybe by warg/Bran's intervention, though I'm stretching here and am probably wrong, But he's definitely alive somehow or other and I think he ultimately ascends the Iron Throne.



Will Jon know his heritage?


This may be a late revelation in TWOW, setting up ADOS



What role will Dorne play?


Whether or not they believe in Aegon they could use him as a reason to act - or he could use them.



Ditto, Iron Islands


I think Dany can blow Victarion's horn (matron!) without dying, and may need to at some point. For the rest I have no clue but I'm interested to see what happens with Euron...



What mystery/theory do I want to see solved?


Tough cos you have to leave something for ADOS. For me the Big Picture is the presumed (by me) marriage pact between the Others and the Starks, unwittingly broken in "recent" times leading to the invasion. Also, who is Mel, really (clearly very old, clearly using a ruby-powered glamour, etc - but Who Is She?). R+L=J is kind of given at this stage so a little old pat - I'd like to be surprised.



Will any Starks be reunited?


I hope so, but this may wait until ADOS. I'd love for Arya and Jon to be reunited, though I also think they have one of the great tragic love stories ahead of them (Jon has to marry Someone Else to reforge the pact with the Others to keep the rest of the world safe, and Arya is probably getting killed by the FM at some stage anyway). Bran will possibly have magical contact with Arya and, separately, Jon. God only knows what will happen with LS.



Will Jamie help LS bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


I think it's an open door to get him to go after Cersei, though I'd love to be surprised on that I suspect I won't be; and he has no love or respect for the Freys, so quite possibly.



What role will Arya play?


She will kill a lot of people, some with her wolf pack. The FM will kill her, probably not until ADOS. And I will cry. A lot. I want her to win and to be happy and to survive the series.



What is the controversial Sansa chapter


She will use her sexuality to manipulate LF in some way. More dramatic things seem ruled out by the hint that it's in S5 of the TV show, which surely will depart from the book canon, but surely not too radically.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All of them



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Tyrion and Jaime



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Victarion, Jon Connington, Barristan Selmy and Cersei



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Yes. Please.



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


All of Westeros? Nope. But I think the Wall will go down with a bang by the end of TWoW, so they will be moving steadily in the North by then, and maybe even the Riverlands.



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


Why are we assuming there will be an Iron Throne by the end of TWoW? But if we do... fAegon.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Rickon in name, aided by a bunch of loyalist houses. Mainly Manderlys, Umbers and Mormonts.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


What caused the Doom of Valyria, and maybe even the magic and power of numerous horns in the series.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes.



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)?


I'm 100% sure it will be confirmed to us readers, but Jon may never find out.



What role will Dorne play?


I kinda think Dorne will split: some will support fAegon, while the others will stand by Daenerys or even Myrcella/Trystane if Myrcella outlives Tommen. But the bulk of them will support fAegon, probably.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Make everything even more miserable for everyone while there are far worse things to worry about (like an invasion of ice demons)... basically to wreak mindless havoc.



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


What are the Others? What caused the Doom of Valyria?



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


I want Arya and Jon to be reunited, and Arya and Bran may come to some sort of... communication through weirwoods/warging. But the latter might be too much to hope for.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


Lannisters are bringing themselves down just fine. But the Freys, yes.



What role will Arya play?

Reunite with Nymeria and her pack, and thus fire one of GRRM's biggest Chekhov's guns.


What is the controversial Sansa chapter

Something to do with sexuality? Maybe poisoning Robert Arryn? Idgaf about Sansa so I didn't exactly think this one through.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?

I am thinking atleast one Stark will die, my bet is on Sansa.

Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?

Jaime, Tyrion

Which POVs are most likely to die?

Cersei, Asha, Victarion, JonCon

Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?

Yes

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

Yes, they would have reached as far as Winterfell and start attacking the Boltons and the other northern armies, forcing them to chose to ally with eachother or be annihilated.

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

The throne will probably go to many people throughout TWOW.

Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?

Stannis.

What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?

The conspiracy of the Faceless Men, that Jaqen Hager was the one who killed Robert Baratheon when he warged into the boar and assassinated the king on orders of Tywin Lannister or Cercei, the death was way too coincidental, since Robert was about to find out that his children weren't his just before he died.

Will Cersei win her trial?

Yes but she will be killed by Jaime.

Is Aegon fake?

No, it is possible he could be a Blackfyre but in Danys vision during the house of the undying, she see's Rhaegar naming his son Aegon and saying he is the prince that was promised and then saying there are supposed to be 3. So its likely he is the real Aegon but he needs to mature a little more and that will probably happen after he becomes a prisoner and is saved by Dany and the dragons.

Is Jon still alive?

Yes, he is Azor Azai, he will be brought back from the brink of death, while he is recovering, he will be warging and roaming around as Ghost, he will find the sword of Azor Azai as he is warging.

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

I doubt Jon will learn his heritage but Bran probably learns of it and Howland Reed will most likely tell Dany or Aegon while they are pushing into Westeros.

What role will Dorne play?

Dorne will try to ally themselves with both Dany and Aegon but will end up caught in the middle of a initial Targaryan rift between the aunt and nephew, they will later convince Dany to rescue Aegon after he gets captured.

What role will the Iron Islands play?

They will probably try to ally with the Lannisters or The Boltons to attack Stannis and try to get Theon back.

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

The disappearance of Benjen Stark.

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

Benjen Stark and Bran, Jon and Sansa.

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?
No, Jaime might try to take over House Lannister once Cercei dies, he will probably try to switch sides and redeem the Lannister name.

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


+ Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?



A maester was present at Jon's birth and made a note of the event in Citadel records, where Sam will find it.


The Faceless Men have an interest in the same information, for whatever reason, and Arya gets involved.


Sam may or may not succumb to a Faceless Man, Arya will convey the information to Jon.



(Just taking a convergent approach here.)

I'll take a shot (if I haven't already and forgotten):



Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All of them. Unless one counts Stoneheart/Cat as a POV Start. She'll be done in by Brienne, or maybe Jaime or Pod. Or perhaps she'll expire once she learns at least one of her children is alive, or that Ned didn't really betray her. Come to think of it, I like that ending better.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Tyrion and Jaime.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Cersei, Theon, Victarion, JonCon, and UnCat.



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Yes. Finally.



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


If you mean breached the Wall, yes. Will the South know? Maybe or maybe not.



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


Aegon. But Dany will be coming for him.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Jon Snow.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Some kind of conpiracy of the Grey Rats. To do what, I'm not sure. But I'm sure they aren't impartial. Or at least, many of them aren't. They have an agenda.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Of course.



Is Aegon fake?


Yes. But I'm not sure he knows it. Kind of like Boomer on Galactica.



Is Jon still alive?


Of course. Dying, but not necessarily dead. And will warg into Ghost if he does expire (as I think he will).



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


Yes. Somehow, Bran will find out via greenseeing/weirwoods and tell him. Howland Reed will confirm.



What role will Dorne play?


They will get revenge on the Lannisters for Elia. They will sow discontent and undermine Cersei with the Sand Snakes in KL. Making it easier for Aegon to topple here. Arianne will decide to throw in with Aegon, which may end badly for both of them when Dany gets there.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Depends on how long Victarion survives. Does that horn Euron gave him do him in? Is he killed in battle? In any case, I think those ships will be Dany's Navy, and help to ferry over her troops, and some more slaves from Volantis who don't stay to rules slavers bay. Euron will wage all out war in the South somewhere, unleashing chaos and distracting from the coming invasion of the Others. But I think he'll bit the dust, leaving Asha as the only remaining Greyjoy, unless Theon somehow survives.



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


Tyrion's true parentage.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Yes. Jon and Stoneheart. She will learn he IS a Stark and that Ned didn't betray her. He'll also tell her Rickon is alive.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


Yes. And he will succeed.
