Which POV Starks will be left standing?

All of them.

Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?

Definately Tyrion, I'm half-and-half on the prospect of Jaime surviving.

Which POVs are most likely to die?

Cersei, Barristan, Victarion, possibly Jaime.

Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?

Yes.

Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?

Yes.

Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?

Most likely Aegon, Stannis is a posibility.

Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?

Rickon.

What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?

Lots of stuff about dragons.

Will Cersei win her trial?

No.

Is Aegon fake?

Yes.

Is Jon still alive?

Yes, but I'm not sure if he'll be resurrected via Melisandre, or whether he'll warg into Ghost.

If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW

Dunno.

What role will Dorne play?

They'll side with Aegon, and provide soldiers and supplies for his war.

What role will the Iron Islands play?

The Iron Fleet will take part in Dany's invasion. If Euron can get his hands on a dragon, I expect him to mount an invasion of his own, in the Reach.

Jon's parents, Grand Northern Conspiracy.

Will any Starks be reunited reunited in TWoW?

Doubtful.

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?

Yes.

Barely.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?



All




POV Lannisters left standing?



Tyrion and Jaime




POVs likely to die



Vic, Theon, Cersei, Brienne, Barristan, Davos, Jon Con




Will Dany reach Westeros by the end of WoW?



Yes. I hope so.




Will the Others reach Westeros by the end of WoW?



Yes




Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of WoW?



Aegon




Who will hold Winterfell by the end of WoW?



Stannis/Davos/Rickon




What will Sam uncover in Oldtown?



A multitude of things about the Faceless Men, dragons, magic, Jon's birth




Will Cersei win her trial?



I believe she will, but will die by the end of the book, or if she doesn't win her trial, she will escape immediate death.




Is Aegon fake?



I believe so.




Is Jon alive?



Yes. I wish he was dead due to the sake of storytelling, and avoiding everyone near a red priest getting a reprieve. I like Jon, but the story would be more exciting and less predictable with his death.




Will Jon find out his heritage by the end of WoW?



Yeah.




What role will Dorne play?



A big one. I think Ser Balon is in for a trap with Darkstar/Hotah/Obara. The Sand Snakes in KL will stir shit up as well. Not to mention Dorne's military is very fresh and ready to spill blood.




What role will the Iron Islands play?



Euron is a tough bastard. I think he will take some more castles in the Reach, but I don't see Vic being successful with Dany. Euron wants the IT, and he'll fall short. It would be interesting to see him take it though. I'm sure he must be the least likely candidate to take it compared to Jon, Dany, Stannis, Aegon, or Mace. Aeron is up to something but I don't know what he could muster that would be significant.




What mystery would you like to see solved?



Aegon and Jon's true heritage. I wouldn't be mad if Aegon was a Blackfyre. If that was the case then I would still be a huge supporter of him due to him being descended long ago from Targs. I also want to see what Brand finds. I believe that he will make a noteworthy discovery while he's holed up in that tree with BR. I also am not sure what Melisandre's endgame is so that would be nice to see what she is up to. I am also interested in the endgame of Doran, LF, and Varys as well.




Will any Starks be reunited by the end of WoW?




Tough question. I believe that Rickon, Sansa, and Jon stand the best chance. Arya and Bran are so far off on their own quests I think that they are the least likely to come back into the fold right now.




Who will be the next person to take the IT?



Mace. With the Lannister downfall of Kevan, Cersei, and Jaime, I think Mace being the opportunist that he is will take it from baby Tommen. That said, he won't hold it for long before Aegon grabs it.




What role will the Vale play?



I think the Vale will make moves with LF at the head and having a very fresh army; much like Dorne.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All of them that were still standing in ADWD



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Tyrion, Jaime



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Cersei, Asha, Victarion, Barristan, Melisandre



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Yes, but only just



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


The Invasion will begin near the end of WoW when someone blows the horn of Joramun.



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


Aegon



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Howland Reed acting as Regent for Rickon



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


No idea



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes



Is Aegon fake?


He is a Blackfyre



Is Jon still alive?


He's dead, but Melisandre will have a vision in the flames the Jon is Azor Ahai and sacrifice herself for him.



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


He won't. We will, first when Jojen and Meera Reed tell Bran in a Bran POV, then again when Howland Reed somehow reveals it to more important/involved people.



What role will Dorne play?


They're gonna help Aegon into his throne



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Euron's of the Reach will be in full swing by WoW. Victarion will attempt to bind a Dragon to him but will somehow fail and Dany will execute him.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


What happened to Benjen, Jon's parentage (if it can still be called a mystery), and the one I'm most curious about,what caused the bloody doom.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Jon and Rickon near the end, perhaps Sansa as well, and Arya and UnCat.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


Both.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


All of them



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Tyrion, and hopefully Jaime but not too certain about that



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Cersei, Brienne, Areo, JonCon, Barristan



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Yes, most likely in the last or 2nd to last chapter



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Not a full on invasion yet, but they have breached the wall



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


Aegon



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Rickon or Stannis



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


why the Citadel is against magic, Others, dragonlore



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes



Is Aegon fake?


Yes



Is Jon still alive?


Yes, warged into Ghost



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


No, I think that will happen in ADOS, the reader might know though



What role will Dorne play?


Ally with Aegon and help put him on the IT, Arianne might marry him, later they could ally with Dany (prob not if Arianne is married to Aegon though and is still alive). Doran gives the order to kill Myrcella and deliver her body to Cersei



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Most likely they take over Highgarden/Oldtown, where they senselessly kill many people and Euron attempts to find out how to bind the dragons to him at the Citadel. It's very possible they'll get into a battle with the Redwyne fleet but I'm not sure when the fleet will arrive-before or after they have taken Highgarden, or who will win



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


The Great Northern Conspiracy, FM and their motive, Benjen, who is Azor Ahai



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Jon and Bran spiritually while Jon is warged into Ghost



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


Freys, yes! Not the Lannisters though, except I think he will kill Cersei and possibly himself

Which POV Starks will be left standing?
All of them, we might think someone is dead but they will really be alive.

Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?

Tyrion, Jamie and Cersei, I think Cersei will die but not till the last book. She has to die after all of her children and there are still 2 left. I think Tommen will die in this book and Myrcella in the last book, as Queen of Dorne.

Which POVs are most likely to die?
Victarion (I don’t think Dany will fall for the Greyjoys), Jon Connington

Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?
Yes at the very end of the book.

Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?
Yes, some of the wall will be destroyed, (I believe the wall is alive, it is a collection of thousands of weirwoods linked at their roots) the others will bring some of it down.

Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?
Kings Landing will be empty Aegon will be the last one to sit on the Throne but when he hears the Others are invading he will march north.

Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?
Rickon Lord of Winterfell with the Blackfish as his regent and Stannis as King.

What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?
Well first he will realize that the Maesters have their own agenda that is not the realms. The Maesters have fought for generations to kill Dragons and Magic, also Wargs, children of the forest, ect. The have fought a war science vs magic. The faceless man is there to kill one of the plotting Maesters and the Sand Snake is there to find evidence of the same plot. Sam will figure out the plot as well as he studies to be a Maester.

Will Cersei win her trial?
Yes, by the end she will be in Exile maybe at Highgarden.

Is Aegon fake?
Yes in that he is not the Aegon that people believe him to be but a decedent of the Blackfriar line of Targaryens. So he is still a dragon just not one from the right line.

Is Jon still alive?
Yes sort of, he has warged into Ghost and by the end of TWOW he will be back in a human body. (re-born) This will release him of his bond to the Knights Watch.

If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?
No, I think this will not happen till the last book, but Bran will have another vision that relates to his heritage. So I think Bran will know.

What role will Dorne play?
They will ally with Aegon and help him take Kings landing while secretly also sending agents to the north and play both sides.

What role will the Iron Islands play?
They will have their own Civil war.

Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?
I want to know if Cersei and Jamie are half Targaryens, but I think that GRRM will wait till the last book to reveal most of the mysteries.

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?
Well Bran will see all of them but no I don’t think any of them will meet in person.

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?
Lady Stoneheart will give him the same option, rope or sword. He will choose sword but say that he can’t kill his Kin so she will send him against the Freys. He will kill some Freys but not Lord Walder when he flees he will go north. I think that he will flee into the swamps and he will be the first to run into Howland Reed.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


Bran will help guide Arya, Rickon and Jon back to respect and power (but maybe not by the end of TWoW). Bran will also discover the fate of Benjen and his whereabouts. Sansa will not make it as the Hound tries to save her. LS will give her "life" to a dying Arya (via Thoros or Mel) in the epilogue.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Only Tyrion & Myrcella. Tommen will disappear



Which POVs are most likely to die?


All Greyjoys, Hotah, JonCon



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


In the very end....another Dance of Dragons with fAegon (3rd Blackfyre rebellion!)...the ensuing war and both fates will be decided in ADoS



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Will Bran the Builder's magic fail and dissolve the curse for the WWs and CH? Yes...but obsidian-armed armies will be awaiting.



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


Maybe fAegon or an adhoc council...the throne will be destroyed in ADoS though



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


A disillusioned Stannis



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Others history and CotF truths; weirnet interface; Euron secrets; Jaqar



Will Cersei win her trial?


Yes but she is executed by Arya (in FM mode).



Is Aegon fake?


Yes...he has Blackfyre blood.



Is Jon still alive?


Yes...warged as Ghost (who may find Benjen), indirectly helped by Bran, body directly healed/cared for by either Val/Mel.



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


Yes...at least we will know.



What role will Dorne play?


Will support fAegon and wage war with Iron Islands (Euron/Vic) over Highgarden and Oldtown, which will tear it apart...Doran/Hotah will be assassinated. Arianne and fAegon will reach KL.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


War with Dorne over Highgarden/Oldtown...Asha will betray Stannis and will die. Vic and Euron will fight alongside Dany but will both die. Theon may assume passive control but will probably die. Iron Isles power will dissolve and Stannis forces will eventually defeat them (again!) since they (Euron/Vic) are busy with Dany.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


Benjen's journey! The various horn powers (if any). CotFs. The wall magic.



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


LS will save a dying Arya; Bran will help guide Arya, Jon, Rickon...won't be able to save Sansa, who may be killed by a dragon.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


No...although he may help LS's cause before his doom. He may save Brienne once again though before he dies.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?

Bran (even though he won't be standing much), Arya

Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?

Jaime, Tyrion,

Which POVs are most likely to die?

Cersei, Jon Conington *duckdown* Daenerys ( I hope not, but there is a certain possibility)

Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?

Yes

Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?

No, I'm still not convinced there is going to be an invasion


Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?

Young Griff/ Aegon

Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?

Littlefinger

What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?

The song of ice and fire

Will Cersei win her trial?

Yes, but she won't be able to restore her power

Is Aegon fake?

Most likely in the sense of linaege, but power resides wherever people believe it resides and he will prove to be a good king. This is why Dany will support him

Is Jon still alive?

His body will be resurrected by Mellisandre, his mind/soul will come back from ghost. He'll be different from Lady Stoneheart and Beric but not the same as he was before

If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?

Mayhaps

What role will Dorne play?

They will fight for Aegon/Connington/Varys and win the Iron throne for him in the first half of the book

What role will the Iron Islands play?

Hard to tell... but maybe a very important one. Victarion might actualle be able to controll the dragons

Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?

Who the others are, what they really want and what their role is within the song of ice and fire. I somehow think they're on Bran's side... still not sure, though

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

No, not physically but Bran will have contact with some of them

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?
Yes

Which POV Starks will be left standing?


Bran, Sansa and Arya will definitely make it to the final book.



Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?


Tyrion definitely. I think Jaime and Cersei will both die in each other's arms as they came into the world (making Jaime the valonquar) but that could be final book material.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Barristan and Victarion will both perish in the Battle of Fire. Brienne will die after killing Lady Stoneheart, thus becoming an oathbreaker just like Jaime (I think these two people, on opposite sides of the fence at the beginning of the series, will eventually come to meet each other in the middle with Jaime gaining honor and Brienne understanding that sometimes a knight cannot keep their vows). Melisandre will sacrifice herself to bring Jon back. Davos will die after ensuring Rickon's safe passage back to the north.



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


No. She never will. She will unite the free cities of Essos under a single government and rule it herself, much as Aegon united the seven kingdoms.



Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Yes but they will not be the mercilessly evil beings that people believe them to be...



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


King's Landing will fall to Aegon and he will ascend to the throne.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


With Sansa and Rickon both revealed to be alive, the northern, riverland and vale lords will unite as they once did under Robert and set their sights on their new Targaryen king. Except the white walkers will come and bugger it all up a bit...



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Something that will pull the rug out from under every reader. Probably something GRRM has been hiding under his hat this whole time...



Will Cersei win her trial?


No. She will flee King's Landing and take control of Casterly Rock with what little power is left to her. Jaime will be forced to stop her for good and the will both perish (though again, maybe not till the final book)



Is Aegon fake?


Yes (though it might not be fully revealed until the final book)



Is Jon still alive?


Yes. He warged into Ghost and will be brought back by a combination of Bran and Melisandre.



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


Yes (though the Gods know what good it will do him)



What role will Dorne play?


Arianne will assist Aegon and Griff in toppling King's Landing. Aegon will order the killings of Myrcella and Tommen as Tywin once ordered the deaths of Elia's children, which Arianne and Griff will see as a hypocritical move and evidence that Aegon is no more fit to be king than anyone else.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Asha will smuggle Theon out of Stannis' camp and seek to put him on the Seastone Chair while Euron is away. Aeron will succeed in raising the Iron Islands against his brother and Euron will be vanquished in a suitably grisly fashion. In the final book, the Iron Islanders will HAVE to join forces with the north to help stop the white walkers.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


Pretty much anything Varys and Littlefinger are involved with



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Jon and Bran will be reunited as will Sansa and Rickon. Arya will remain the lone wolf until the final book.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


No, Brienne will slay her out of respect for Catelyn's memory. Jaime and his men will disband the Brotherhood once and for all.

Robin Arryn.

Hodor.

Nope. She will be sentenced to death but escape, only to be killed by wolves.

Nope. He's the real deal.



Is Jon still alive?


Yes, but now he's all crippled up. Tormund makes a special saddle for him. On a horse he is just as tall as any man.



If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?


Yes. Howland Reed+L=J



What role will Dorne play?


People will go to Dorne for the winter. Once there, Doran will tell them about Aegon, and point out that Tommen is not a Barratheon and he is a little kid. The smallfolk get all riled up to go back to Kings Landing in the spring and take the city.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


None. The Iron Islands will be hit by a hurricane. Everyone drowns but there isn't anyone left conscious to perform their CPR ceremony this time.



Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?


Is Mel capable of having kids like she promised, or is she only capable of pumping out smoke?



Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?


Jon and Bran will share some tree-talk. Arya will meet and kill Stoneheart as her FM mission.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?


No to the Lannisters. Yes to the Freys.

Which POV Starks will remain standing?


All of them. The development has been building up far to much to just throw them away. Any of their deaths will most likely be in A Dream of Spring especially judging by the Time for Wolves original title.



Which POV Lannisters will remain standing?


The implication that Tyrion may die is laughable. {Fuck, hope I haven't jinxed that}. Jaime, as Lady Stoneheart will most likely aid him, unless he gets his ass handed to him by some Other at the end.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


- Jon Connington - simply because he is already dying and I can't imagine that he has any legitimate medical aid necessary to cure his affliction.



- Cersei Lannister - possibly at Varys' hand or Margaery Tyrell, as I think Margaery has more potential to got to a war of wills with Cersei more openly after AFFC. However, GRRM has said that the evil characters with cunning survive in this kind of world rather than the nice ones e.g. Ned is dead but Littlefinger lives. Although, a lion is creature of summer, not of winter.



- Theon Greyjoy - Simply because the man is a wreck and his survival would be sort of meaningless, what is he going to do become King Reek the Gelding at the end of the war. However, perhaps GRRM has an interesting twist in line post Battle of Winterfell.



- Victarion Greyjoy - Dany and the khalasar are going to hand him his rear end on a plate and make him blow that dragon horn.



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


No, 'cuz knowing GRRM, she may yet chill in Meereen for a few more books. I thought she would be there by the end of ADWD, but look at us now.



Will the Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


I've always had a personal theory that I don't hold strong that the end of this book will see the devastation of the Seven Kingdoms at their hand. The seventh book will be set some years after this with the Stark children returning with Daenerys and her two as yet unconfirmed dragon riders. However, I think that's unlikely considering their current movements.



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


Aegon after Tommen, but then Dany. He's a stone's throw away and he will have the Dornish on his side to take a weakened King's Landing. Stannis may yet beat him or the Crow's Eye but to be honest I think it's him. Tommen may still pull through. He's been king for more books than Joffrey at this point I'd say. And by the end of ADOS it will be Hodor.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Stannis Baratheon with Rickon Stark as his lord supporting him. Either that or the Others will have destroyed the North.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


Jaqen H'ghar's true purpose, the truth about the Night's King, Jon's heritage, the identity of the Prince Who Was Promised, finds Jon' succession rights from Robb, also he will discover the true details of the Long Night.



Will Cersei win her trial?


Loras and Renly can finally be together again.



Is Aegon fake?


No doubt, as soon as JonCon said he lacked Rhaegar's eyes solidified it for me. Varys' statement in epilogue of ADWD has some merit but I honestly think he is just a puppet or a figurehead for Varys like he had in the Mad King. Also, I don't think he's a Blackfyre. He's Septa Lemore's son.



Is Jon still alive?


Yeah. He may warg into Ghost for a while but really because his body is in a comatose state of recovery. I think he could well have survived that.



If so, will Jon find out his true heritage by the end of TWOW?


Yes, because Howland Reed is hardly likely going to whisper in his ear who his mother is during the destruction of all civilisation at the hands of the Others. Or if he's Ashara's son, then when Septa Lemore returns.



What role will Dorne play?


They will support Aegon, unless Arianne turns him down. I think she will begin a relationship with FakeGon, and tell her father he is Elia's son, but Doran will meet him and Varys for an audience at King's Landing once the war is over, then plot with an imprisoned Cersei to overthrow him as he knows the boy is a fake. Doran will turn against FakeGon and send Areo Hotah to obtain Dany and Barristan then support her conquest. She will use her dragons to overthrow Aegon who will roast FakeGon alive but not Varys. It transpires that Varys is the son of Aerion Brightflame, gained eternal youth in exchange for his manhood (okay that last bit was a joke but I think that if Varys is a Targ his connection is to Aerion Brightflame, as he would believe he has more right to rule. It would also explain why he got so close with Aerys. The Mad King wanted to keep an eye on a potential pretender).



What role will the Iron Islands play?


Euron Greyjoy will battle Dany's forces full on after capturing Highgarden and butchering the sons of Mace Tyrell. Margaery will become Mace's heir and coordinate an army to defeat them. The Crow's Eye will be defeated and become a hostage of the Tyrells. When Dany's forces arrive, he offers to become a general for Mace as he knows how to slay dragons from his knowledge and travels around Old Valyria. He will kill one of Dany's dragons in battle. He will become Margaery's new husband uniting two houses into a new kingdom. Mace will die and Euron will become the King of the Reach. He and Margaery will still a force to be reckoned with by ADOS.



Which mystery would I most like solved?


Benjen's fate. Don't care if he's dead or not it's annoying at this stage. The Horn of Joramund. Jon's heritage. More history about the Long Night, otherwise the Others are invincible. The murders in Winterfell.



Will any Starks by reunited in TWOW?


In his comatose state, Jon will meet Bran as Ghost. Arya's return will lead her to the Riverlands and to her Unmother. Sansa, unless her new marriage works out, will come to Winterfell and may meet Rickon or perhaps Jon.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart defeat the Lannisters/Freys?


Jaime's disillusionment with his sister implies that a purge of the Lannisters may yet occur. Jaime and Brienne will hound down the Freys. Black Walder will betray the Freys and his great-grandfather. Walder Frey will be taken away during the winter weather but his descendants will nearly all be dead before him.

Which POV Starks will be left standing?

All of them

Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?

Jaime, Tyrion, Cersei (who will live from the help of Varys to ensure chaos)

Which POVs are most likely to die?

Jon Connington from Grey Scale

Brienne in exchange for Pod and Jaime

Barriston the Bold in the seige of Mereen

Asha as a sacrfice to the Red God in place of Theon (since it is pretty clear at this point Theon has been gelded, although not as blunt as the show, I think Melisandre will argue that his kings blood has been weakened)

Arianne from an assassination by Varys's little birds to help bring Dorne into the war

Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?

Dany will have united the Dothraki khalasars with the help of Drogon to prove her power and march to Mereen at the height of the battle. The Iron Fleet will be arriving around the same time breaking through the slavers' ships. As this is going on Tryion will then be able to convince Ben Plumm to switch sides again as Dany and the Iron Fleet appear proving he was on the losing side. Victarian will present the dragon horn, which I believe burns the user but not the blood of the dragon, and Dany will tame the dragons and set sail for Westros. They will arrive at in the epiloge just as Aegon did in ADWD.

Will The Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?

They will have breached The Wall but not at Castle Black. Probably one of the castles maintained by the wildlings who will send a rider to Castle Black as thousands of weights and Others pour through the breach. The Night's Watch will be forced to abbandon the Wall and make their way south to regroup and send a warning.

Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?

Tommen will remain as it suits Varys's needs.

Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?

Rickon will be brought back with Davos and Osha uniting the North for Stannis for saving the "last" son of Eddard Stark

What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?

The real histories of the Others

Will Cersei win her trial?

Yes, unknowing the help of Varys will provide to ensure she will remain in power

Is Aegon fake?

no

Is Jon still alive?

He is dead at the end of ADWD but is brought back by Melisandre. I do not think he will warg his way in Ghost since he is untrained as a warg

If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?

Yes, Melisandre will see the truth in the flames and tells him as they flee south

What role will Dorne play?

After the assassination of Arianne and Prince Doren Martell, Dorne will lead their armies led by the Sand Vipers for revenge and will learn of Aegon. They will join his army

What role will the Iron Islands play?

Victarion is simple. He will bring Dany and crew to Westeros. Euron will be killed by the Drowned Men. Theon will remain a captive of Stannis but will find the first joy seeing Rickon. Euron's fleets will sack the Arbor and Lannisport (there is no way after 6 books we will not see Lannisport or Casterly Rock) along with other general ravaging the westerland

Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?

What happened to the Hound. I do not think he is dead, and if he was GRRM would have shown it. Most likely GRRM is doing the same thing he did with Davos in AFFC and have him show up later. I bet Nymeria will find him and smell Arya's sent on him and protects him. The Hound and the Wolf if you will.

I also want to know more of Littlefinger's game and goals. Is he working for his own ends or is somehow part of Varys's plots?

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

Jon and Rickon. Also Arya and Nymeria (not technically a Stark but the wolf is still out there and Arya will find her at some point)

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?

I think that after Brienne dies Jamie will find it in himself that he loved her and agrees to help kill Walder Frey.

Other Question I have:

Who will most likely get a POV:

Roose Bolton/Ramsey Snow

Osha

Varys

Which POV Starks will remain standing?


All of them. For once the Starks will remain unscathed.



Which POV Lannisters will remain standing?


Tyrion and possibly Jamie. I think Jamie may kill Cersei.



Which POVs are most likely to die?


Selmy, Cersei, Connington, Melisandre, all of the Krakens with the exception of Theon.



Will Dany have reached Westeros by the end of TWOW?


Landing with an invasion force on Dorne with dragons in tow.



Will the Others have invaded Westeros by the end of TWOW?


They'll be scaling the wall.



Who will be on the Iron Throne by the end of TWOW?


I see Tommen being replaced by the High Sparrow after it's determined he's an illegitimate heir born of incest. That won't last very long though, as Aegon and Dany will look to take their rightful place.



Who will hold Winterfell by the end of TWOW?


Sansa Stark. I think it's nigh time for Sansa to quit being a pawn in other peoples' games and she'll rally The North.



What mysteries will Sam uncover in Oldtown?


That the Maesters destroyed the dragons and in turn have fought to downplay and subdue all forms of magic. I think Sam will discover that it's only through the use of magic that the Others can be defeated.



Will Cersei win her trial?


She wins her trial, but the dead Gregor Clegane is unmasked and she's again thrown into the cells.



Is Aegon fake?


Yep. Aegon was Varys' attempt at stealing the Iron Throne.



Is Jon still alive?


He'll have survived, but his first POV will be in the form of Ghost as he recuperates. There might even be a Bran and Jon reunion via Bran's new found powers.



If so, will Jon find out his true heritage by the end of TWOW?


Possibly through Bran or Howland Reed, although I think the chances of that happening in TWOW are slim and will instead be seen in the subsequent book.



What role will Dorne play?


They'll support the fake Targaryen and bind themselves via marriage, but Dany will ultimately make them pay for it by seizing Dorne.



What role will the Iron Islands play?


I think the Damphair has something nasty in store for Euron and Victarion. The Damphair will stir the pot and cause revolt on the Iron Islands. That civil war will lead to the death of all of the remaining Krakens with the exception of Theon. (I feel like Theon will be guided by Bran and escape the whole mess)



Which mystery would I most like solved?


Where in the world is Benjen Stark? Whose baby was Aegon? Who are the Others and what the hell do they want? What happens to Bran? Will Arya climb the ladder in the Faceless Men?



Will any Starks by reunited in TWOW?


I don't think so. Jon reuniting with Sansa and Rickon seems the most likely for me, but I doubt a Stark reunion will occur until the last book.



Will Jaime help Stoneheart defeat the Lannisters/Freys?


He'll strangle his sister, if that's help. He'll also admit to fathering all of Cersei's children.

All of them

Which POV Lannisters will be left standing?

All of them

Which POVs are most likely to die?

Aside from Jon, Theon, and JonCon already having an imminent threat of death hanging over their heads, I have no clue

Yes

Rickon

Is Aegon fake?

It's the stupidest build-up and reveal only to be a red herring in history if he is

Is Jon still alive?

I'll murder GRRM myself if he isn't, and showing red priests resurrecting people and skinchangers moving into the bodies of their bonded animals at death was rather pointless if not to set a precedent

If so, will Jon have found out his true heritage by the end of TWOW (and how)?

Probably not, but it has to be Howland Reed who eventually reveals it

What role will Dorne play?

They'll turn for Aegon, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Tyrells do, too, and it doesn't even matter

They won't stay unified - Victarion and Euron fight over Dany and Asha shows up with Theon to declare the kingsmoot invalid

Which mystery/theory would you most like to be solved in TWOW?

Can Shaggydog rip off Ramsay's entire head with a single bite?

Will any Starks be reunited in TWOW?

Doubt it, but they'll at least learn of each other's existence

Will Jaime help Stoneheart bring down the Lannisters/Freys?

He's gonna have a really hard time talking her out of killing him, but maybe if he promises to free Edmure and help retake Riverrun
