Where would you water-hammer in Westeros?

[Mithras]

Assuming you can use one-time supermassive hammer of waters, where would you strike?

Here is the map of Westeros.

I personally send this massive force from the bay of The Bite, sweeping the Twins (yeah baby :) and destroying everything up to and including Pyke like this. This way, The North is seperated from the Westeros forever. White Harbor becomes even more important city of the North. In the process, it may be possible that the Vale and the mountains can be seperated from the rest of the Westeros, forming a giant island.

1. I'll break the Westerlands and make them part of the Iron Islands. :D

2. I'll also do what you did Lamprey, but it is the second priority. ;)

The Twins. Just the Twins. Only a small hammer. Just fucking obliterate the Twins and leave everything else alone.

To settle the kraken problem once and for all time would be nice.

This would also be very cool. KL, Highgarden and most of Reach and Crownlands are destroyed. Mander river becomes Mander Sea. Remaining lands in the North are merged into Riverlands and the Vale, which makes them stronger. In the South, The Reach loses most of the fertile lands and become vassals. The remaining crownlands are merged into the Stormlands.

I'm not sure why you think this much destruction is cool Lamprey, maybe you're playing too many video games. :)

Meereen- just so something interesting finally happens there

All this filth and scum can only be cleansed by a massive Hammer of Waters :ack:

Then let it be cleansed. Be it I say. :lol:

I choose two small hammers instead of one big! One on the Twins, another on the Red Keep.

I'd water hammer the shit out of Essos. It looks like George just doesn't care as much, it's just a plain land rectangle. Rearrange the topography and give it more wiggly interesting coastlines.

if i lived in westeros i'd waterhammer right where the wall is, make things a whole lot more difficult for the others

from storyline standpoint right diagonally across westeros, seperating the Reach, Dorne, and the Stormlands trapping a large part of tyrell forces in the northern side and making Dorne far more powerful in the southern part. Would also make the other kingdoms much more powerful in the northern island

[The Drunkard]

The area immediately north of the Wall. That ought to slow those undead buggers down.

[LordToo-Fat-to-Sit-a-Horse]

Iron islands.. Send those savages to feast at the Drowned God’s watery halls..

[Light a wight tonight]

I'd hit the Water Gardens in Dorne with a mini-strike some time Doran's there, just to get that irritating bugger out of the storyline. That or sink Valyria like Atlantis. Nobody live there, anyhow.

[Jon's Queen Consort]

In Westeros:

Vulture's Roost-Oldtown

Quite Isle-Oldstones

The Neck

Total destruction:

King's Landing

Iron Isles

Can we use war hammer to Essos too?

[Mithras]

We also have some kind of Hammer of the Waters in Planet Earth. Although there is still debate on the subject, Missoula Floods are the most catastrophic flood events in Earth's History. During ice ages, giant ice dams can support a massive lake behind. And when the ice wall breaks, all that huge mass of water floods the landscape. The surface of Earth changes in a blink of an eye.

The Hammer of the Waters in ASOIAF is done by the magic of the old gods. You rise an incredible amount of seawater and unleash it to a land scape, sweeping everything across. The first HAmmer of the Waters created the Arms of Dorne, sperating Westeros and Essos forever. In the second Hammer of the Waters, the CotF tried to seperate the North completely from the South along the line I draw in the OP but failed. The result was the bogs and swamps in the Neck.

If we accept the deep black tide Mel sees as a Hammer of the Waters (which we should because Mel sees the power of the old gods in her visions in the North a lot), then we should ask this question: Does this tide is meant to destroy a city or rather seperate a land from Westeros as it was the original purpose in the first two events?

child murderer!

To my original post: I forgot to blow off the Dragonstone.

Hitting the coast of Slaver's bay would certainly dispose of that pesky Meereenese knot...
