Coolbeard the Exile Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 They raid the coasts uncontested for a while but i find it hard to believe they would make any big gains other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunkard Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 With the Lannister fleet burned and the Royal & Redwyne fleets defeated (and split in half with the Iron Fleet in between them) the ironborn would control the seas and be allowed to reave wherever they wanted. Robert would need to salvage the defeated fleets, call up whatever ships Dorne and the Vale might have, start building a new fleet, or some combination of those things, before he could hope to challenge the Iron Fleet again (and this time Victarion won't sail into a trap). If he manages to do that and the new fleet defeats Victarion, history probably proceeds as normal. If not, I can't see him building a third, and the ironborn would likely control the seas for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Vance II Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Victarion gains the distinction of best commander in Westeros probably, at least at sea. Robert would be enraged at the escalating defiance and death of his brother, go all-in on crushing the Greyjoy rebellion and extinguishes the Greyjoy line. Giving control to the Goodbrothers or Harlaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphis Baratheon Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Robert would probably pardon Victarion and give him Dragonstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal Sword Donor Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 2 hours ago, Dorian Martell's son said: That was the royal fleet. AND..........the redwynes. “ Swift to respond, the young king called his banners and sent his brother Stannis, Lord of Dragonstone, around Dorne with the royal fleet. Warships from Oldtown and the Arbor and the Reach joined their strength to his. Balon Greyjoy sent his own brother Victarion to meet them, but in the Straits of Fair Isle, Lord Stannis lured the ironborn into a trap and smashed the Iron Fleet.” Don't believe me though!

Leonardo Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I doubt they sent every ship they had. They would buy and build more at speed, likely contracting out to Braavos for ear galleys and hiring fleets. The ironborn had no good in the long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
