It is the second of the two major battles that GRRM stated would open TWOW. Also, the Iron Fleet, led by Victarion Greyjoy, is on its way to Meereen to fight the Slavers on behalf of Daenerys. The Battle of Fire will be the great battle outside of Meereen between forces loyal to Daenerys Targaryen and the Slaver Confederation (Yes, I made up that title). The ships that Manderly has hiding up the White Knife.The Location of Robett Glover and the remainder of the Manderly heavy horse.Unknown number of soldiers from other houses.Lord Wyman Manderly (Currently wounded, status unknown).House Umber under Hother Umber (Likely Disloyal).Bran Stark (potentially through the weirwood tree in the middle of the lake and the crows at Stannis’ watchtower).3500 Glovers, Mormonts and Northern Mountain Clansmen.Remnants of Ser Rodrik’s army (Hornwoods, Cerwyns, and the Tallharts).Houses Flint, Norrey and Wull (Northern Mountain Clans).GRRM stated that this be one of two battles which would occur early in TWOW. The Battle in the Ice will be the showdown between Stannis Baratheon and Roose Bolton outside and perhaps inside of Winterfell. More importantly, how do think these battles will shape up in TWOW? Please feel free to comment on things that I might have left out or other relevant information. But for today’s purpose, I’d like to outline the 4 battles. I’ve written on Siege of Winterfell previously. In the future, I have plans to write extensively on the Battle of Fire and perhaps the other two as well. So, I thought it might be of interest to the sub to summarize the POVs that might be present at the battles, go over the commanders and summarize the respective military strength of the combatants. The others are less talked about but will likely be similarly bloody: The Siege of Storm’s End and what I’m terming as “The Battle of the Mander.” The two most prominent battles being the Siege of Winterfell and the Battle of Meereen. How the POVs will die will likely not be known before the publication of TWOW, but there are at least 4 significant battles that will occur in TWOW that might give us an idea. In fact, the number of POVs is about to decline. GRRM does not intend to add any more POVs. GRRM has flat out stated that the number of POVs will be declining. VI - The One with the Poison Wineseller aka the Khal Promises to Lead the Gang to Westeros (1:35:25)īonus Eps & More - Shirts & Stickers - Winds of Winter will be a bloody book. V - The One where Dany Eats a Horse Heart aka the Gang Crowns Viserys (1:17:53) IV - The Gang Goes to Vaes Dothrak aka the One where Dany Hits Viserys (1:02:03) III - The One where Dany Makes Viserys Walk aka the Gang Hits the Dothraki Sea (40:52) II - The One where Dany Gets Married aka the Gang Goes to a Dothraki Wedding (19:47) I - The One with the Marriage Pact aka the Gang Meets Drogo We'll go all the way through Dany in ADWD, then "we should start back" to the beginning with a different POV. We also have timestamps listed below in case you want to skip around.Īs of August 2022, one of these will release every Thursday for the foreseeable future. No banter, no ads, nothing but Dany! Given how huge ASOIAF is, going through the series reading only one POV at a time is a great way to absorb and immerse yourself in a particular character's story. Re-edited and re-organized: the Daenerys chapters from Valar Rereadis, all together.
