King Tyrion VIII Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 How would you feel about it? I'm not anyone expects that to happen. I know I don't expect it, but I may end up enjoying it or at least being satisfied depending on how it is done. I assume everyone dies in this scenario. But some of our favorites may end up in some small holdout somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkantos Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I wouldn't mind, let them have Westeros and everyone can mass migrate to Essos or something, plenty of abandoned land & cities there.This could be Dany's new role, she conquers Essos and makes a new place for the Westerosi to run to.

I like it. Any idea if Essos would be too warm for the Others to go there? Or will the New Long Night freeze it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will the New Long Night freeze it as well?I'm not sure about northern Essos, but the area Dany is hell bent on ruling, Slaver's Bay, is as far south as Dorne, so I'd assume it would be there.Worst comes to worse, do some continent hopping to Sothoryos.

ServantOnIce Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Then it would be like the, "Black Masoleum" series which is the sequel to, "Memory of Flames." The Dragons won and folks are hiding out from the terror of the dragons. The White Walkers/Others/Ice Monsters would invade Essos and and conquer northern Essos as well . .. The remnant would hide out in the Summer Islands and plan on a battle to find Euron's dragon egg to rehatch a dragon to defeat the others . .

Theda Baratheon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd probably have to bury a sword hilt in the ground (blade facing me) and throw myself upon it, extinguishing my life in this cruel, dark world if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenshi Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If so, there'll be more to it. I'd love to see the Others turning out to be some plot supported by BR/CotF/Braavos, to oppose the dragons - though the Jon-Arya reunion would be most bitter...

firepoet Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't think it'll happen but I have been thinking about this lately. What if Dany never leaves Essos? What if the story ends with the power hungry houses/people staying to fight over the Iron Throne and getting vaporized while the "decent" folk flee to Essos and live in a reestablished Valayraian Freehold under Dany?

The Mother of The Others Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It'd be exhilarating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kyle Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It would probably make the whole story seem pointless as already mentioned. I've found that in fantasy you can have sweet and bittersweet endings, but not too many series with plain bitter endings. Endings like that are usually reserved for Horror and Tragedy Drama stories.EDIT: Unless GRRM wanted to write a sequel series set during The Long Night where the survivors band together to defeat the Others, but not only is this totally unoriginal it would also never happen. GRRM has stated he intends to never write anything on the same scale as ASoIaF ever again, plus we'd be lucky just to see this series finished.

Kittykatknits Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Not really worried about it as it ain't going to happen.I do love a good apocalypse story though so I guess it wouldn't be all bad. Westeros overrun with mindless zombie-like wights might make for a decent story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It'd be a twist for sure. But it's very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mother of The Others Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Westeros overrun with mindless zombie-like wights might make for a decent story.Cersei would have jokes. (about not really noticing any change when the people of Flea Bottom got zombified. "Their level of sophistication and class is about the same as it was before.") Hiring Robert Strong would make her more popular with zombie smallfolk than she ever was with human smallfolk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
