Iona Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Ironborn can be useful as well. Even though the old way may not be practiced as such, they do keep some enemies of the 7K in check. For example, Asha used to harass some pirates near Stepstones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Volantis has a fleet of what 300-500 ships, if they ever decided to come over to Westeros and start some shit, the Ironborn would be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably wouldn't even care or they may even raid thrle Westerosi west coast if such an invasion happened. They would be too busy fighting Volantis to do anything about it.

I could see a similar situation where the Ironborn join the fight against foreign invaders. It also really depends who's on the seastone throne at the time. I could see things changing for the better with Asha or Theon in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be content with ravaging the north or reach while they are off fight Volantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have thought that one reason Robert did not utterly wipe them out or turn them over to Lannister control was that he wanted to keep a dagger at Tywin Lannister's back - sitting just off the coast. You can be sure Hoster and Ned probably thought it a good idea to keep them separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosimaistheHottest Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Because they wanted Westeros and the Iron Islands are a part of Westeros. Hell, there have been people who have fought over barren land before because they wanted it not needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
