No One of Importance Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Varys' actual words are, "We need allies in Westeros and we need ships." The Ironborn fit both bills there. He's going to negotiate with them: you provide use of your ships, we'll give you land and defeat your creepy uncle for you. Killing Kevan, Pycelle, or really anyone else gets no friends and no ships. Dorne could offer alliance, but famously has no ships since Nymeria burned the fleet when they arrived in Dorne centuries ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob also enlisting fox force 5 down in dorne now that they have probably solidified the succession of power to female bastards because, ya know, that's how that works. Also possible varys enlists the help of the hound, presumably with a bag of chickens, and maybe even swings by a newly retaken winterfell because somewhere out there someone thinks that joining together all the different disparate groups who were in some way wronged by the lannisters and having them all come together like a westerosi voltron would be good writing.

WhatIsDeadMayNeverLive Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 He went to KL to kill the faceless man masquerading as Kevan Lannister. Because there's no way Kevan can be that stupid, he has to be a faceless man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masha Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I think Varys will do the same thing as he did in the books. There will be no surprise here. The only thing I will be surprised if Varys plays some other game that Targs there, but I doubt it, he had been whitewashed in the shows just as Cersei and Tyrion were.

So Varys cuts a deal with Euron (who is just finishing up his 1000th ship) on behalf of Queen Danaerys for them to eventually find that she made her own deal with the Ironborn splinter cell headed by Yara/Theon? I'd sign off on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the books there is a reason because Kevan is making all the moves in KL and restoring order and reason. In the show hes a non-factor, as they have made Tommen a puppet to the High Sparrow, any motivation to kill Kevan has been removed in the show version.

That guy must be a rowing like a pro by now, he will get all those Dothrakis and Unsullied across the narrow sea in a heartbeat. My thoughts exactly! Gendry has a ship and could be made an ally. Instead of 20 good men, we will have an Olympian rower with royal blood. Who can't make something out of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he off to kill Kevan? Isn't it obvious? Kill Pycelle and Kevan. After all, D&D have to hit their requisite plot points from the books, though I'm just betting the context in the show will not make a lick of sense. In fact, I know it won't.

Your money is on Varys embarking on a secret mission to parlay with the captain of an Ironborn fleet that's currently in Volantis and on their way to Meereen to seek the audience of the Queen anyway? That kind of goof would be way too unVarys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only he had known the slaver's fleet was about to show up and bombard the city a few hours later (or did he?). Then he would be better off to let them come to him and earn their audience with the Queen. It seems like we should have seen Tyrion desperately trying to find out how to get word to Varys about the attack so he could convince the Ironborn to show up and engage them.

Lord Spark of House Spark Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It could be to off Kevin and panelled, but I think they'll be in the Sept when it goes up, if the Cercei wildfire theory is right. A stop off in Dorne seems a possibility, and could he be taking the place of whatever Marwyn ends up doing with Sam in Oldtown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonKnight21 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I also believe he will go to Dorne (*cringe*). Spoiler Conleth Hill AND Diana Rigg (Oleanna Tyrell) were spotted shooting in Alcazaba Almeria, which is the setting for most of the Dorne scenes... Soooo yeahh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He killed Kevan to keep up the chaos there, but in the show chaos is still very much ruling KL. I was wandering how much control he still has over his little birds. Qyburn took over some of his netword in KL. I wonder how that will play out or if They just forgot about that. I was wondering this as well. The reason for his murder of Kevan and Pycelle doesn't exist in the story, so surely he is off to something else. What that is I have no idea.
