Read Game of Thones Jane Poole Chapter

This article comes from Den of Geek UK.

This article contains major spoilers for all seasons of Game Of Thrones.

Nosotros finally take an end to Game Of Thrones , but non everyone is happy with the mode things turned out. Showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss have come under a lot of fire from unhappy fans, but we know that George RR Martin shared the overall programme for the volume series with them long agone. Will there exist any significant differences in how things play out in the book series A Song Of Ice And Fire ?

George RR Martin himself has really answered this question on his web log, and the respond is "Yes. And no. And yes. And no." As Martin points out, books and television are different media, and they have different requirements. He also lists a number of characters who never fifty-fifty appeared in the Television receiver show but whose fate nosotros will learn in the books: Jeyne Poole, Lady Stoneheart, Penny and her pig, Skahaz Shavepate, Arianne Martell, Darkstar, Victarion Greyjoy, Ser Garlan the Gallant, Aegon VI, "and many more."

Merely information technology'southward the fate of the major characters that fans are really interested in at this point. And while we know that at least some of them are heading towards the aforementioned fate in the books, we are too fairly certain at to the lowest degree some of them will be going somewhere slightly different – here's who and why…

Daenerys Targaryen

Major differences

Nosotros have one main reason for suggesting that the story in the books will work out differently in most of these cases: prophecies. A Vocal Of Ice And Burn is absolutely brimming-full of prophecies, many of which never made it into the TV series.

There has, then far, been one notable instance of a prophecy that was non fulfilled (relating to Dany's son Rhaego), and George RR Martin has suggested that prophecies cannot be trusted, so no guesses based on prophecy are entirely certain. Several characters in-universe have commented on how unreliable they are, and fifty-fifty Melisandre suggests that although what she sees in the fire is never exactly wrong, she may mis-interpret it.

However, we have to assume, in the grand tradition of fantasy literature, that most of them are going to be fulfilled at some point of the story – it merely does non brand a satisfying story to provide numerous prophecies that are given lots of attention, and and then neglect to follow through on any of them. The interpretation may plow out to be quite dissimilar from what the prophecy initially seemed to suggest, but the fires will turn out to be correct in their own special way in the end.

Tommen Baratheon and Cersei Lannister

The fate of Cersei Lannister and her children

The prophecy given to Cersei by Maggy the Frog is longer and more than detailed in the books than in the show. She will be Queen; she will accept three children and the Rex will have sixteen; their crowns and shrouds volition exist gold (i.eastward. all three will be monarchs, and all 3 volition die before her); after their deaths a younger and more cute Queen volition take Cersei'southward place, and eventually, "the valonquar" (younger blood brother or younger sibling) will strangle her to expiry.

Most of this prophecy is more or less covered in the Boob tube show. Myrcella never becomes a Queen in the series, whereas the books take her at the middle of a Martell plot to put her on the throne, and since Jaime doesn't go to Dorne in the books and Arianne Martell is a significant graphic symbol, her death will probably play out differently. But Cersei's sons both became kings, all three of her children died earlier her, and she was supplanted by a younger and more than cute Queen (first Margaery, then Daenerys).

Cersei's death, however, will play out quite differently if this prophecy is accurate.

The identity of the "valonquar" has been hotly debated among book fans for years, merely whoever it is (prime candidates include Jaime, Tyrion, Arya or Sandor Clegane), information technology seems safe to say she won't exist killed by falling rocks, wrapped in Jaime's artillery. Unless he mercy kills her in the middle of the destruction of the Crimson Go along. Merely we suspect not.

Cersei and Jaime Lannister

Jaime abandoning Brienne for Cersei, and his decease

In A Storm Of Swords , when Jaime is being escorted away from Harrenhal leaving Brienne behind, he falls comatose confronting a weirwood tree (that'southward the ones with the creepy faces that are central to Bran's visions) and has a weird and very long and complicated dream. He dreams most himself and Brienne being in a nighttime place total of water underneath the Lannister stronghold of Casterly Rock. He sees his male parent, Joffrey, a agglomeration of other blonde Lannisters and, most importantly, Cersei. They all leave him – which suggests, since Joffrey and Tywin both die long earlier Jaime and Cersei, that Cersei will die before Jaime does.

In the dream, Jaime and Brienne both have burning swords, and Cersei tells Jaime that when the flames go out, he will die. They are then approached by the ghosts of the late Male monarch Aerys' Kingsguard and Rhaegar Targaryen (clothed in snowfall, suggesting this might in reality be Jon Snow and his men), who become to attack them and the flames on Jaime'southward sword go out – and he wakes up. Information technology is this dream that prompts Jaime to insist on going dorsum to Harrenhal to rescue Brienne from a bear.

Information technology doesn't take much of a dream interpreter to work out that last bit. If Martin sticks to this prophecy – and weirdwood tree dreams are normally the more than reliable prophecies in the globe of Westeros – Jaime will die fighting back to dorsum with Brienne (who will, hopefully, survive). In the dream he wants to follow Cersei, and metaphorically he may consider death to be "following her" bold she is already dead, but he won't exit Brienne for her, and he won't die with her.

Direwolf Ghost

Ghost and Nymeria

At the beginning of the series, the Starks adopted six direwolves. Two are expressionless in both books and evidence (Lady and Grey Current of air). Two died in the bear witness but are withal alive in the books, so whether they accept anything important to do remains to exist seen (Summer and Shaggydog). Merely two were never killed off in the show, no matter how little we saw them because all the VFX budget had been blown on the dragons – Ghost and Nymeria.

In the books, Bran is not the only warg in the Stark family, every bit both Jon and Arya have shared dreams with their direwolves. We call up it'southward prophylactic to assume that Ghost (who may or may not concord on to Jon'due south soul until Melisandre can resurrect him) and Nymeria (running wild in Westeros as head of a wolf pack, and presumably a useful ally against the army of the dead) will have bigger roles to play in how things go down in the volume version of this story.

Arya Stark

Arya'due south assassination skills

As many, many memes have pointed out, Arya spent years learning a great set up of assassins' skills, including the ability to swap faces, simply to use them once (on the Freys) and then never once more.

read more than: Game of Thrones Season 8 – What Happens to Arya?

The Freys have already been nearly wiped out in the books, mostly under the orders of Lady Stoneheart, with the item most serving some of them in pies provided by a (very) minor graphic symbol called Wyman Manderly. Arya, meanwhile, is even so in preparation and has not inverse faces at all withal. We assume that her arc apropos nigh abandoning her identity, but then reclaiming it (having stashed away Needle instead of getting rid of it) volition play out in a similar way, and information technology's unclear whether she will get so far as to proceeds the ability to swap faces. Just however her fourth dimension at the House of Black and White ends, we suspect that the skills of an assassinator that she has learned will have a bigger role to play in the conclusion of the books.

Arya Stark Killing the Night King

Arya killing the Night King

There is one other source we tin draw on for working out what may take been Benioff and Weiss'due south invention – their own statements. In "Inside the Episode" following Season 8, Episode iii, Benioff talked about the choice to have Arya kill the Night King, which suggests that this was their pick, not something laid out for them by George RR Martin. Protecting Arya so that she could kill the Nighttime King also turns out to have been Ser Beric Dondarrion's destiny – but Volume Beric long ago gave up his actress lives to resurrect Lady Stoneheart, so we know that will play out differently equally well.

Considering the Night Male monarch will likely be killed, as in the bear witness, in battle, this is not especially surprising. Arya is an assassin, not a soldier, and is more probable to kill Cersei or some of non-Tv characters. Every bit for who will impale the Night King – well, Jon Snow still seems the most probable candidate, but perhaps Martin will spring another surprise on united states at the final minute.

The Night King

The Nighttime Rex beingness killed before Cersei and Daenerys

We suspect, if the volume'southward prophecies are to be fulfilled, that the books volition deal with the human storyline first, and and so plow to the defeat of the Night King. Jaime'southward vision suggests that he and Brienne will terminate up fighting zombies in Casterly Rock, many thousands of miles south of Winterfell. But in that location are other prophecies that suggest that some things that play out in the same mode may have a different meaning, and therefore result in a different gild of events, in the book version…

Jon Snow Dying

Things that will probably piece of work out roughly the same

Jon Snow'due south resurrection

All the pieces are in place – Melisandre is at the Wall, and Ghost is nearby for Jon to warg in to and preserve his soul (so he doesn't end up common cold and detached similar Lady Stoneheart). There'southward no reason to think this volition be significantly different in the books.

Shireen Baratheon

The burning of Shireen Baratheon

Most of the really horrible stuff that happens on Game of Thrones has its roots in the books. Theon's mutilation happens off folio, merely information technology happens; Ramsey's abuse is inflicted on a different married woman, but it is no less horrible for happening to Jeyne Poole instead of Sansa Stark. The Ruby Hymeneals, Ned'southward execution, Oberyn Martell having his head popped – none of these are inventions of David Benioff or DB Weiss.

The burning at the stake of a young kid who is also one of the most likeable characters in the series is the moment Stannis crosses the line and becomes irredeemable – and it'southward nigh certainly Martin's idea. It may play out differently – perhaps Stannis himself will be at the forefront, if Melisandre has switched fidelity to Jon Snow, and possibly this will plough even loyal Davos Seaworth confronting him – but we suspect it will happen.

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen

Jon and Dany'southward love affair

The series is called A Vocal Of Ice And Fire after all – that would suggest a saga that is ultimately about Jon Snow (Ice) and Daenerys Targaryen (Fire). It is prophesied (at the House of the Undying) that Daenerys will "ride" three "mounts," "1 to bed and ane to dread and one to dearest."

If we desire to be a scrap gutter-minded in how we translate that, this could refer to 3 lovers – Khal Drogo (to bed), Daario Naharis (to dread, for reasons as yet unknown relating to book plot developments) and Jon Snow (to dear). Their romantic entanglement provides a sense of epic tragedy every bit the series draws to its close, because something else that will too probably work out much the same is…

Daenerys on Drogon's Back

Daenerys' descent into madness and murder by Jon

Melisandre frequently conflates a prophecy well-nigh The Prince That Was Promised with the resurrection of a mythological/historical character called Azor Ahai. Azor Ahai defeated the forces of darkness earlier, but just past forging a special flaming magic sword chosen Lightbringer. His method? Plunge the hot metal into his wife Nisssa Nissa's heart then that her soul becomes part of the sword. Melisandre used to recall Stannis Baratheon was Azor Ahai reborn (other parts of the prophecy referred to a bleeding comet and being born among smoke and common salt, which could refer to any number of people, including Dany, Jon Snow and Stannis) but she seems to be leaning towards Jon Snowfall more recently.

If Jon Snow is indeed Azor Ahai reborn, then a sequence of events that essentially replays his story might play out. Information technology'due south possible that Daenerys goes mad, and Jon decides he must impale her, but in doing so, he creates a new Lightbringer merged with her soul. This is why we think the order of events may exist unlike – Jon, the new Azor Ahai, can and then move on to defeat the Night Male monarch using the new Lightbringer.

Of course, information technology'southward possible that this prophecy will not play out the mode nosotros look it to, or may not fifty-fifty happen at all. It's possible that someone really unexpected volition turn out to be Azor Ahai – Jaime Lannister is ane of the hot tips to murder his lover/sister Cersei, was born by the sea and dreams of fighting with a flaming sword, and then it could even be him. Or this may be a prophecy that is never fulfilled at all, and another manner of defeating the Nighttime King is found.

read more: The Early Mad Queen Moment That Defined Daenerys' Fate

We still call back Jon and Dany's story will turn out roughly the same, though. Daenerys receives many, many prophecies relating to herself throughout the series, including one that she volition know "three treasons – once for claret and once for aureate and once for dear." We've seen blood (Mirri Maz Duur) and gold (Ser Jorah) which simply leaves Jon to betray her for love, possibly his love of his people, or (if things play out in a like way to the show) of his sisters.

Or perhaps the events of the story volition be the same, but the meaning once again different – possibly Dany, sensing herself starting to turn to the nighttime side, will volunteer to play the office of Nissa Nissa, to save Westeros from both the Night King and herself.

Tyrion Lannister in a Burning King's Landing

Things that could become either way

The wholescale destruction of King's Landing

We are fairly confident that Dany volition descend into madness, just whether she will actually succeed in reducing King's Landing to rubble is some other issue. Jaime killed Aerys just before he was able to exercise the same, and information technology's rather frustrating to meet all that try go to waste when it turns out that fate was only put off by a few years. It may be that in the volume version, Daenerys is nearly to destroy King'due south Landing when she is stopped – but this was changed for the boob tube show because actually seeing the destruction makes better television.

Some other of the Undying'due south poetic prophecies to Dany is that she volition "light: three fires – one for life (the birth of the dragons from Khal Drogo's funeral pyre), i for expiry, and one to love. It's possible that the burn for death will be the destruction of King's Landing – or perhaps Cersei won't destroy the Sept of Baelor, merely Daenerys volition, thus sparing most of the population just still making a pretty large mess and coming across as a major over-reaction. That might leave the burn "to love" every bit her soul being absorbed into Jon's sword and condign Lightbringer, the flaming sword born of their love, maybe even willingly.

Bran Stark

Who becomes King or Queen of the North and/or the Six/Seven Kingdoms

You'd assume that this fairly major signal would be the same, and it may well be so. Bran is the first point of view character in the first book, following the prologue (whose point of view character immediately dies) and, like Jon, is a typical fantasy hero, a noble boy who overcomes physical inability with magical powers.

There is a actually obscure possible alternative to Bran that may take seemed insufficiently dramatic for the TV serial. In the books, Margaery and Loras Tyrell accept an older brother chosen Willas, who is the heir to Highgarden and who is studious and physically disabled, with a bad leg. (Bronn volition non finish upwards Lord of Highgarden in the books – he has his castle and noble helpmate already).

read more: How Bran Stark Played Us All

Just equally the Starks and Lannisters are loosely inspired by the historical British Houses of York and Lancaster, the Tyrells' closest historical counterpart is the Tudors – the House that eventually emerged triumphant from the Wars of the Roses when Lancastrian Henry Tudor defeated Richard of York in battle and married Elizabeth of York to ally the ii sides and put an terminate to the wars.

Willas was adjusted out of the TV series, and it may exist that the showrunners felt it would be more satisfying to put a graphic symbol nosotros take been following from the outset on the throne – only making that graphic symbol Bran, also physically disabled and unable to walk, is a nod to the originally intended Willas.

Sansa Stark as Queen in the North

The spanner in the works here is Sansa Stark. A few years ago, publisher Harper Collins made public some of Martin'due south early plans for the series, which were in some means very different to the story he ended upward writing (Arya Stark and Jon Snow every bit star-crossed lovers was a major modify).

Sansa was one of the characters who seemed to have changed the most from her initial outline, equally she was initially intended to beguile her Stark family unit for her married man Joffrey and their children. Her story is also substantially different to that of the her Idiot box counterpart, as the television version merged her with the minor character Jeyne Poole, who in the books is claimed to be Arya and forcibly married to Ramsey Bolton.

Whereas the characters of Arya, Jon, Bran, Tyrion and Daenerys (Martin's original 5 who would brand it all the way to the end) have largely retained their basic nature even every bit the plot has inverse, Sansa is a wild menu – different in the TV series, unlike in the original plan, and the character that has probably inverse the most over the form of the books published so far also.

What that means is that information technology'south impossible to judge what Martin'southward plans for her are at present. Volition she ultimately be the "younger and more than beautiful" Queen who takes Cersei's identify? Will she fight for an contained North, as in the Tv set show? Volition she go a unlike direction entirely, leaving Bran as Male monarch? Will she even find happiness in a Lannister marriage after all, re-marrying Tyrion to unite Houses Stark and Lannister, leaving the two of them to reign? Will she be married to Willas Tyrell, to fulfil the same role every bit a fictionalised Elizabeth of York and Henry Tudor?

Honestly, we have no thought!
