Re: alternate plans for Daemon II, what about pulling a “Stannis at the Wall” and landing on the Iron Islands? In OTL Bittersteel made common cause with the Ironborn at least once, but opposing Dagon would’ve made more useful friends in Winterfell, Casterley Rock and Seagard, I think. Good strategy, or too big a risk?

That doesn’t seem like a good idea to me – as with Balon, giving people what they want before you offer terms is a good way not to get what you want. 

And at the end of the day, all you’ve got is some islands. Much better to land in the Reach.
