A New Dawn: The Aftermath of Cerceis Bombing in Westeros
A New Dawn: The Aftermath of Cercei's Bombing in Westeros
In the grim landscape of King's Landing post-Cercei's bombing of the Sept of Baelor, a twist of fate could redefine the course of Westeros: Margaery Tyrell, Loras Tyrell, Mace Tyrell, and the High Sparrow survive with no other survivors. This article explores what might follow such an event, focusing on Tommen, Cersei, and the shifting alliances that could come to light.
The survival of Margaery Tyrell, Loras Tyrell, Mace Tyrell, and the High Sparrow in the aftermath of Cercei's bombing would have profound implications for the political and military landscape of Westeros. Tommen, who assumes he knows that the Tyrells have survived, would not kill himself but would remain king. Instead of yielding to despair, Tommen and the Tyrell army march into the capital to arrest and eliminate Cersei and the Mountain/Qyburn.
The Trial of Queen Cersei
In this hypothetical scenario, Queen Cersei faces a trial for mass attempted murder and attempted regicide. Unlike the fleeing monarch and her diminished forces, she is now brought to justice with a custody trial. The Tyrells, with Tommen's support, ensure that Cersei's trial is comprehensive and fair, implicating her in the bombing and her plots against King Tommen. Her fate is sealed as she serves the punishments she so unfairly meted out to others.
The Battle Against Daenerys Targaryen
Tommen and Margaery would band together to fight Daenerys Targaryen and her forces, who are now closing in on Westeros. Despite their initial reluctance to face one another, Tyrion, always the pragmatist, convinces them to unite against their common enemy. The Tyrells' army, bolstered by Tommen's resolve, faces multiple battles against Daenerys's forces.
The United Front and the Threat from the North
The survival of Tommen and the reformed Westerosi forces presents an opportunity for a united front. With the Tyrells and their army supporting Tommen, they are better equipped to face the threat of the Others, also known as the Walkers. The Lannister army, now aligned with Tommen, would provide crucial support in defending Westeros against the impending danger.
Conclusion
The aftermath of Cercei's bombing, with the Tyrells and High Sparrow surviving, sets the stage for a new chapter in Westeros. Tommen's reign could be the turning point, with unity and strength against the looming threat of the Others. The survival of Tommen and Margaery ensures that the Lannister army remains a formidable force, ready to defend Westeros against the Walkers.
