[OT]When the whole book saga is done - who do you think will be the king of Westeros?

[Kamnik]

I have a gut feeling it will be Tyrion.

If I would have to put it in a list from who is most likely to less likely:
1. Tyrion
2. Arya
3. Bran
4. Jon Targaryen
5. Daenerys

[Antoniusz]

inb4 Hodor

[Skizbot]

From most likely to less likely?

1. No Iron Throne as we know it: Westeros no longer united as one single kingdom
2. Dany
3. Aegon
4. Stannis
5. Um, Jon I guess, if the theory is true.
6. Tommen
7. Myrcella
8. Euron Greyjoy
9. Hot Pie

[Pinkie Pie]

I m hoping for King Aegon Targaryen The Sixth of his Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.

[TNTNate]

Money's on Arianne Martell becoming Queen on the Iron Throne. Don't ask me how, it'll just happen

[Pinkie Pie]

*COUGH* Aegon is unwed *COUGH*

[Antoniusz]

Aegon might be fake.

[Skizbot]

Aegon might be fake.

You know, I always assumed Aegon was fake because of the prophesy about the "mummer's dragon"- in other words, a false Targaryen. But then I realized, Varys was supposedly an apprentice in a mummer's troupe, so being the "mummer's dragon" could just mean that Aegon is a Targaryen under the influence and control of Varys.

Still kind of think hes fake, though. There are many theories about him on the interwebs, some of the more popular ones being that hes a Blackfyre or even Illyrio's son.

[Pinkie Pie]

Pah, Hodor could be a fake.

Hodor is really Rickon in disguise

Lol Varys is a merling.


Also Cleftjaw I think Melisandre alredy corrupted him

There's still hope! :'(
Either way I'd rather have him than anyone else who's contesting for the throne.

[jacb547]

You think Tyrion will be?Really?Well your guess, I think Stannis will have The North and Dany the rest

[Pinkie Pie]

I do not see Dany gaining much support in Wesreos, her army is based around freed slaves, eunuchs and Dothraki.

What I want to know is if Illyrio was preparing both Viserys and Aegon for the throne what would he think would happen when they both appeared on the continent claiming it?

The King of Westeros will be the Great Other.

I think Aegon was more their Plan B. Had Viserys not been killed they probably would've sent him after Visery's failed, or killed him if Viserys succeeded. Remember if Viserys had landed his story probably would've ended in apparent victory or defeat around the time of ADWD, which is when Aegon arrived, and even then only because Tyrion tricked him into landing early.

[jacb547]

Viserys is dead

[Pinkie Pie]

No bloody Shirlock.

Illyrio and his allies spent all that effort preparing for Viserys to take the throne with a Dothraki army but while doing so they prepared Aegon for the same thing.

If Viserys had not died and both had appeared on the shores of Westeros all it would do is split the houses further and lessen the chance of one of them taking the throne. Why would they go through the trouble of preparing two of them if this was a possibility?

We know they did not plan on Viserys dying because Arianne was going to marry him. We also know they had plans for Aegon because he has had a large amount of training given to him to make him into a good king

[Skizbot]

This is the big question. I don't think we will know the true motives of Varys and Illyrio until the end of the series. It seems pretty clear that Aegon was the "plan A", what remains unseen is what the plan was for Viserys (I don't think they had a plan for Dany except for the marriage, some people have suggested they always knew Viserys would die among the Dothraki but the fact that Illyrio encourages him NOT to accompany Dany suggests they want to keep him alive). However, I actually don't think Varys and Illyrio knew about the marriage pact between Arianne and Viserys, I think the Dornish kept that very secret.

So since they wanted Aegon to be king, what was the plan for Viserys? Did they want him to bring a Dothraki army to Westeros so that he could plunge the country into chaos, and Aegon could swoop in as its savior? This might seem redundant because the War of the 5 Kings already spread chaos throughout Westeros, but remember there really would have been no way for Varys to predict Ned's execution and the War. Did they just want Viserys around as a Targaryen everyone knew to be genuine, just so that it would be easier to convince people that Aegon was genuine as well? Was Viserys just a Plan B in case Aegon was somehow killed, or turned out not to be an easily manipulated pawn? We just don't know. I really hope we find out eventually.
