Spoilers about the War and its timeline (you been warned). Roland00 Send a noteboard - 21/05/2011 04:52:20 AM
This is how the war started.

Tyrion is arrested by Catelyn

Tywin (Tyrion, Jaimie, and Cersei dad) raises two armies at Casterly Rock (the main castle of the Lannisters.) One army will be led via Tywin the other by Jaime (he flees King's Landing after hurting Ned for he is afraid the King will cut off his hand.) During this time Tywin unleashes Gregor Clegaine on the riverlands, pretending he is a roving bandit pillaging/and raping the riverlands, but everyone knows better since their is only one person tall enough to be the mountain.

Now Tywin unleashes Gregor Clegaine on purpose hoping to draw the honorable Ned into battle (so Gregor Clegaine can capture Ned so there can be a hostage exchange for Tyrion), he hoped that the honorable Ned would answer the call for Ned would see this as a personal slight, it is his fault that the common people are dying, it is his fault that his sister's people are being massacred due to his sister kidnapping Tyrion. This plan would have succeeded if Ned wasn't injured via Jaime's guard (see episode 05 of the series.) Instead Jaime sends some of the winners of the tourney as well as his own men to seek out Gregor Clegaine.

The Tulley's (Catelyn's) people are being raped and massacred via Gregor Clegaine thus Catelyn's brother (Edmure) raise their own armies. Edmure is the son of Lord Holster (Catelyn's father), Lord Holster is still liege lord but too sick to leave his city. Thus we have a powder keg situation, the Lannisters are having two armies raised, and the Tulley's are also calling their own bannerman, since there people are being killed in the fields via Lannister "bandits."

All this happens before while King Robert is still on the throne and Ned is still the King's Hand.

Robb doesn't call his own armies until his father Ned is arrested.

I think the revelation of Cersei's incest would be something "that everyone will be talking about" Cannoli - 19/05/2011 01:16:34 PM 860 Views
That makes sense, yeah *NM* ironclad - 19/05/2011 02:57:35 PM 264 Views

If GoT cotinues to be very successful, perhaps WoT can be next? *NM* trzaska2000 - 19/05/2011 04:11:36 PM 281 Views
I was actually thinking the same thing... Fox and Ravens - 19/05/2011 04:21:47 PM 635 Views
You can make the first 3 books into a very satisfying series.....3 seasons or so. trzaska2000 - 19/05/2011 04:26:38 PM 612 Views
If WoT was to be done at all, it could probably be crunched down to shorter than 14 seasons imlad - 19/05/2011 08:13:36 PM 546 Views
6 seasons. Werthead - 20/05/2011 12:28:36 AM 813 Views

If WOT became a TV series, I have to imagine that most secondary characters would be cut. trzaska2000 - 22/05/2011 01:04:11 AM 611 Views
