the Faith is pretty much broken after the burning of KL. Cersei was quick to reinstate the ban on the right of holy men to bear arms. The Citadel can't do much in the North. And nah, that was some flavour/epilogue stuff.
TyrantGod
Will the Citadel and the Sept go after him? When he awoke from his funeral pyre (Chapter 1) there was a world wide reaction in Asshai, Valyria and Island of Toads, will there be an expansion of the storyline into that?
Gladiusx
Different lords will have different reactions.
Gladiusx
Ah, but they did the kill. Aegon was killed before Jon set him on fire. The Faceless man had taken the appearance of one of Aegon's squires and taken use of the distraction to sabotage the whole setting and kill Aegon, making it look like an accident. Also, even if they didn't do the deed personally, Aegon is with the Stranger now anyways, so the contract is fulfilled. Tl;dr There are no refunds given by the Assassination cult.
TyrantGod
How will rest of Westeros react to him decimating an army? Will they offer to submit to him?
Zachary Williams
I think my biggest question is are the faceless men going to return the gold to the lannisters, keep it, or turn it over to Jon since he carried out their job
TyrantGod
😂 North will be like “Whaaaaaaat 😦?”
JH
Jon returns North and is like "Yeah, so I killed the Ironborn after sinking their fleet, revealed myself to Cersei when she decided to fuck with me, ambushed Daenerys and her dragon after she tried to take a leak in the middle of nowhere, challenged Aegon to single combat and torched his army and dragon with my bare hands. But yeah...other than that, nothing exciting"
LordChoto
Damn now this was one hell of an entrance, the shock and awe and total devastation he left behind. Glorious!
Chrisk
great chapter Jon shows them fire and blood and the north remembers lol
Gladiusx
They don't work for free, for all we know. After this, the price on Jon's head will be 9-10 digits in gold at the very least.
Rick Malone
Oh interesting. I noticed the weirdness of his chair collapsing, but didn’t equate that with the Faceless Men. I can’t recall- have they appeared in the story before, or is this the first time?
Maniac000
Well, that certainly is a statement that’s going to spread far and wide. Who else is going to be willing to take a shot at Jon? No one in Westeros after that. The Faceless men gonna try to take him out?
MyAfroAteMyDog
Holy shit crazy good chapter
TyrantGod
How is Arianne Martell gonna react to her “cousin” Aegon’s death?
Gladiusx
The Faceless man poses as one of Aegon's squires and sabotages Aegon's chair, and placed rocks around it, so when he fell and cracked his head open, it was an "accident".
Rick Malone
Good chapter. Not sure I understood the comment in the notes about Viserion and the Faceless Men. Must be something I missed
Gladiusx
Not impossible, but Jon wants nothing to do with the South(they're more trouble than they're worth in his opinion).

Will Jon's descendants trying to get the 7 kindoms under try control? Because I could see them trying to be Aegon the Conquer...
Gladiusx
Arguable, since a castle with a few dozen defenders can hold out a much larger force. Defenders that would never surrender to essosi slavers. But yeah, some lords on the eastern coast would definitely not be able to defend their lands if slavers come knocking. Also, let's not forget that the Vale is still almost completely untouched.
Gladiusx
Nah, no more HP characters. And the fight could hardly be long, when one side has overwhelming advantage.
Sefa Baah
It's seems now that some parts of Westoriesis ripe to be invaded by people from Essos... Man the seven kindoms are fucked... except for the North, Dorn, and the West Lanistors...
TyrantGod
Damn! Very good chapter. Wish the fight was longer! Is this the end of house targareyan (not counting Jon)? Will there be any HP related characters later and will story move to a wider world setting or end?
BriskyMortar
Man, that chapter was awesome. Congratulations!
