Re: Your theory of the final battle being in the North. To me that idea robs ASOIAF of any pan-Westeros sentiment if the big battle is mainly and entirely set in the North and doesn’t extend outwards. Mostly because the books largely feature Northern characters and settings, (compared to LOTR where you have Non-Gondorians coming to the rescue of Gondor which makes it truly pan-Middle-Earth). How do you think this circle will be squared? Would Euron open a second-front for the Apocalypse?

I mean, the series is called “A Song of Ice and Fire,” not “A Song of Westeros.” The Wall is in the North, Winterfell is in the North, so you have to take that into account when thinking about the end-game.

But seriously….I think King’s Landing is obviously an important point, where Cersei and Jaime’s fates will be sealed, where Dany will confront the lies, etc. And Oldtown is shaping up to be an important inflection point, although I think that’ll be less a second front and more blowing a horn.
