If Westeros breaks up, from a legal perspective, the Bank is at a loss. However, historical Bank practice would be to bankroll a would-be unifier who agrees to pay the debt.
Assuming that Westeros breaks up into the original pre-Targaryen polities at the end of the series, what happens to all the debt that the Iron Bank owns in the Seven Kingdoms? The Bank is suddenly at a huge loss, with no single polity in which they install a ruler who will pay off the debt. They can’t pressure sovereign nations to pay off the debt of a throne that no longer exists, can they? Or do they cut through all the legal obfuscation and just go after Casterly Rock?
