Darth Sidious

I like Big Walder Frey. BW and Bran would make good adversaries for each other.

Paid as far as I’m concerned. Many of the Freys died in the north during the battle with Stannis. They already paid with blood.

Confirmed. There won’t be another who can hatch dragons from petrified eggs. She is Azor Ahai.

I would add another one of Jon’s boneheaded plans to the list of the worst. The Arya Rescue Mission, or ARM. Jon is far from a smart person but this move would obviously cause war between Bolton and the Night’s Watch.

Jon Snow’s plan to lead a wildling attack on House Bolton. It was illegal and would have destroyed the watch.

Robb and Jon got their tickets punched. Robb is feeding the worms and Jon will soon feed on people. They weren’t really interesting characters. Cersei, on the other hand, is an interesting villain. Aegon wants the throne but she is in the way. Only one will live to start the last book.

Jon and Robb got their tickets punched because they were unfit to rule. Robb is in the dirt. Jon will soon become one of the walking dead.

Arya could go Stark raving mad and likely will after she finds out about Jon's assassination. Bran is somewhat laidback for a Stark. But say Arya, Jon, Sansa, and Rickon are dead. He just might snap and do something terrible. Arya doesn't look like a monkey. She looks like a donkey. A long, braided hair would look like a tail. The woman in the legend had a long braid.

I do agree. Daenerys is Azor Ahai. The Great Empire of the Dawn included Asshai and Yi Ti. Everything is bigger in scale in Essos. The Five Forts are the northern border of this empire.

Now what if human greed and too much messing around with the environment caused the climate imbalance. There is a message there. A warning to what the author sees as the existential threat to life. The biggest threats I see are human greed and destructive emotions. Destructive emotions are not necessarily only those one thinks of as negative, such as hate. Love too is a very destructive emotion.

Good guess on the black stones. Maybe it is a cast material like concrete.

I am not too sure about an object to call in the winter. Cold and dark are the absence of heat and light. In other words, the absence of those elements needed for life. The warmth and the light must constantly fight to overcome the cold and the darkness. Dark is the default state of the universe. It takes energy and work to have light. Humans are like bugs. Hard to exterminate. Humans will survive and will rebuild. So obviously the first city will be later known as an empire of the dawn. And it very well could start in Westeros. Basically it will be the cradle of the civilization again.

I am sure there will be challenges. The issue of legitimacy and gender will not be insurmountable. Not at all. The people of Ghis have kept slaves for thousands of years and that did not stop Dany from liberating as many as she could. It was the right thing to do. And it will also be the right thing to do to fight gender bias in Westeros.

Gender is not going to be an issue. Daenerys Targaryen will be the first ruling queen of Westeros. She is the wind of change and Westeros is due for a change. The people have seen the Lannisters, Starks, and Baratheons make a mess of things. The most recent lord commander at the Wall commits treason and allows the savage Wildlings to come through. The Baratheons could not even pull off one (1) succession. The treasury was overflowing when Robert started his reign and the realm was in bankruptcy at the end. Oh she has legitimacy. She is the Mother of Dragons, which is basically a goddess in Targaryen hierarchy. There was no such thing as a khaleesi who leads her own khalasar until Daenerys Targaryen came along. She won them over. Westeros will come to her.

One of the going thoughts proposes the origins of the eggs is none other than Dragonstone. The ones stolen long ago and sold. Qaithe in another life stole the eggs and used the proceeds to custom build ships.

I would happily accept a few hundred pages dedicated to Yin and Asshai. Picture a meeting between Daenerys and Bu Gai.
