Welcome one and all to our first news post. The first of many, hopefully.
Plot Announcements:
-As I hope you're aware, the plot will be set after the very end of A Dance with Dragons, and drawing some plot points from the sample chapters of tWoW. So there are a lot of major events that are about to happen that must be dealt with before anything else. I'll detail these below, speculate on how we could do them (open for discussion), and characters we'll need.
-The Battle of Ice: This is a big one. The battle for Winterfell between the Boltons and the Baratheons. There is a number of ways this could go, so it's hard to say exactly what will happen. The writer and authenticity of the Pink Letter is a point of interest. I personally believe that Ramsay wrote the letter based on false information, perhaps from someone in Stannis's own camp or Stannis's men in Winterfell (based on the Theon sample chapter.) Also, that frozen lake by the crofter's village that Stannis is hiding at will surely come in handy against the incoming Frey and Manderly attack. (The Manderly's hatred for the Freys also.)
Characters needed: Stannis Baratheon, Roose Bolton, Ramsay Bolton, Mance Rayder, Wyman Manderly, Theon Greyjoy, Asha Greyjoy, Jeyne Poole, Hosteen Frey, Alysane Mormont, Mors Umber, Hother Umber, various clansmen and King's men and men's men..
-The Battle of Fire: The battle for Meereen. This one seems pretty clear-cut to me. The Yunkai'i do not seem to stand much of a chance. The Unsullied and Barristan's men are well-trained. The Ironborn have landed and are craving bloodshed. The Second Sons loyalty to the Yunkai'i is waning, aswell as many of the other sellsword companies, who are surely fearing for their lives. But there will be tremendous losses on both sides, and many wildcards (Moqorro, the dragon-horn, the dragons, maybe Dany though time-constraints probably prevent her from making an appearance.)
Characters needed: Barristan Selmy, Victarion Greyjoy, Tyrion Lannister, Grey Worm, Skahaz mo Kandaq (the 'Shavepate'), Brown Ben Plumm, Missandei, Marselen, The Red Lamb, Larraq, Tumco Lho, The Tattered Prince, Daario Naharis, Wulfe One-Ear, Moqorro.
-Cersei's Trial by Combat: Cersei is on trial by the Faith for such heinous crimes as the murder of the previous High Septon and King Robert, adultery, incest, treason.. A lot of crimes basically. The mysterious Ser Robert Strong (unGregor) will be championing for her. Who will champion for the Faith and fight him is something to ponder. Even more interesting is will it matter who? So long has they can unmask the silent knight (not so holy knight) then surely the trial will be over. A couple candidates could be Lancel Lannister or Theodan Wells (both knights of the Warrior's Sons, and Lancel is surely in a bad state of mind after the death of his father), or maybe Loras Tyrell (though less likely I believe.) I loathe to suggest Sandor, as poetically wonderful as Clegane Bowl would be, I don't see it happening. Though who they even be skilled enough to take off his helm before being crushed by his mighty sword? I'm sure Margarey's trial will be a much less bloody (and far more successful) affair.
