Yeah, it'd be Kevan. Who amusingly as a TV viewer seems to show up suddenly and with relevance when all older figures of white male authority are gone or dead. Did Cersei tell him to go home or did he just up and go peace out bitches and go back to Casterly Rock? I can't remember.

Cersei was like 'be hand of King pls' and he was like 'fuck this shit I'm out oh btw you suck as a mother' and went home to the Rock.

Yeah he was pissed off that Cersei was removing everyone else from the small council to be replaced with her pawns. Considering Kevan is one of the few people in power in Westeros that actually cares about the welfare of the 7 Kingdoms, this really rustles his jimmies.

Pretty sure Cersei is Lady Paramount of the Westerlands right now. Not entirely sure who rules in her name.

Also, according to Maestre unMaestre guy, Kevan returned to  Landing when Cersei was imprisoned.

And that is actually another good question. How on Earth would the white walkers invade the Vale?

The Vale is 90% rocky mountains and goats, and every person starving to death is another of their soldiers.

Nah Kevan returned to King's Landing from Casterly Rock - Grand Measter Pycelle asked him to come back and serve as Hand of the King. And it really guts Cersei to find out that he's in King's Landing and refusing to see her in her cell.

Pycelle is rather interesting, because he's very loyal to the Lannisters, so much so that he's betrayed the Targaeryans, the Starks, and even Lannisters like Tyrion in order to ensure that the family retains its hold on the Iron Throne. Especially interesting considering how as he lost favour with Cersei... One wonders if he even sees her as Lannister.

Actually, according to the books, there's a huge amount of fertile farmland. It's just that what we see is 90% mountains and goats.

Yeah I forgot about that. The Eyrie runs out of food come the winter, but by then the Lord just moves down to the fertile land below.

I suppose Winter would affect the farms too, but the WW themselves wouldn't be able to get past the bloody gate. Also Dorne. What's a zombie got to do against the terry taliban of Dorne? Nothin'
And the Pyke islands are already a craphole

But Dorne is actually 90% mountains and goats :v

More on the Vale though: water freezes during winter. WW wouldn't have to go through the Bloody Gate, they can just walk along the Bite coast to the north. It's not like they really have to worry about logistics either.

Seawater only tends to freeze when it becomes ludicrously cold, though. I doubt that is the case. The iron isles would probably be safe too, considering the WW don't have much in the ship department.

can the white walkers walk on the bottom of the sea?

[Tiruin]

can the white walkers walk on the bottom of the sea?

I think realistic physics (pressure, depth, etc...)stops that from happening.


Disclaimer: Tiruin knows nothing about the white walkers, or anything in the book. She thinks the show is very fancy.

Couldn't they just dogpile the gate until they got trough? By the time they get that south they should have a pretty sizeable pile of undead, heck, they could probably make a siege tower out of them and use that.

They can only stand two abreast at the bloody gate. At which point the Vale garrison could just start throwing burning timber and pitch down on the undead. Hell, do you know what else kills a white walker other than obsidian and valyrian steel? Giant rocks. Lots and lots of giant rocks.

On another note, white walkers might not be stopped by mountains. They could just go around, eventually.

[Loud Whispers]

They could also just be really smug
