thewingedwolf Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hello boys and girls,Here is how this works. The point is to ask a "What if" question about ASOIAF (i.e. how would the story be affecetd if an event had happened differently that it did). Each poster must answer the "What If" posted previously and provide a new one so the thread keeps going. The only rule is that the "What If" posted must have had a significant impact on the story.So let me start with this:What if Oberyn Martell won Tyrion's trial by combat?

Well, one phase of the Martells plan works and there is probably a war between Martell ad Lannister. What if Robb had escaped The Twins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaircat Meow Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Tyrion would have been released and Tywin would have lived a lot longer. Relations with the lannisters and the Dornish would not have improved much but Oberyn and Doran cooperated and were playing the long game. As Tyrion would not be on the loose he couldn't tell YGriff to head to Westeros too soon and Varys would be slower to move against the lannister leadership.What if; Donal Noye did not die in the defence of the gate and was elected LC of the NW?edit: huh, ninjad.

What if Robb had escaped The Twins?The northmen become galvanized in the their cause against the Freys and Boltons, especially Manderly.What if . . . Robb executed Jaime Lannister?

The Dublin Warrior Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 If robb killed Jaime than Sansa dies but the Karstarks cavalry dont leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehnaru Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Robb may have won but either way, Cat would be devastated...What if Robb had kepts his vows, ignored Jeyne, and married a Frey (presumably Roslin)? Even better, what if Robb hadn't let Theon go to the Iron Islands? What if Rhaenys had kicked Amory Lorch out a window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewingedwolf Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 What if; Donal Noye did not die in the defence of the gate and was elected LC of the NW?edit: huh, ninjad.Similar events I would think. Dolan was a mentor to Jon so he probably would have acted in a similar fashion.What if . . . Ned told Robert about his kids on his death bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dublin Warrior Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 What if Ned never left WinterfellRobert still dies, Joffrey declared King but Stannis and Renly oppose him. Don't know what Ned would do probably join Stannis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Winters Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Robert would have ordered Cersei and Jaime to be executed straight away. Renly would have made his move to get Robert married to Margaery. And maybe he'd order the children to be killed, as he didn't care about the Targ children.What would have happened if the KG won at the ToJ?

The Dublin Warrior Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 What if Ned told Robert about his kids' true parentage before he died?How far before? Well if Robert was told before he went hunting then he starts a war between the Lannisters possibly ending in their complete destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaircat Meow Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 What if Edmure had not botched Robb's plans?Tywin and Mace would have probably come up on Stannis as he was assaulting the Red Keep (Edmure only delayed Tywin for two days before he got the message from the Tyrells). So Cersei and Joff might have been slain and it would be a while before the lannisters-Tyrells found Tommen in Rosby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
