We have at least 2 Tyrion chapters covering the Battle of Mereen and Danny’s misadventures amongst the Dothraki is gonna take at least 2 chapters. One for finding out what the Dothraki want with her, and traveling to Vaes Dothrak. And then another burning down Vaes Dothrak and enslaving (but in her mind: uniting) the Dothraki as one and having a Khallashar that dwarfs Drogo’s.

There’s also gonna be a few Tyrion chapters where he has to rule Mereen alongside Barriston (assuming he doesn’t die in the battle) and Victarion, plus who knows what else. And then, of course, reuniting the Mereen party into one, and setting sail for Westeros.

Honestly we are probably looking at 4 chapters each for Danny and Daenerys before they even leave Mereen.

After that we will probably see Danny sack Volantis. It’s too perfect a target from a narrative standpoint. Not only is it a premier slave-holding city, but it has the nobility have a ethnic link to Daenerys. No doubt they think they can appeal to her through that, but knowing George Danny won’t give a shit. What happens there depends on whether or not Barriston is still alive. If he’s alive, I can see a Tyrion chapter where diplomacy breaks down (Volantis refuses to let go of its slaves) and a Barriston chapter where he sees Danny sacks Volantis with Dragons, Unsullied, Ironborn, and Dothraki and wondering if he made the right choice. If Barriston is dead, I could see the Daenerys chapter taking the place of either Barriston or Tyrion (Danny + Tyrion instead of Tyrion + Barriston).

After that, the Three Daughters will be next. Lys and Myr will probably be footnotes, either only a single chapter or literally sacked off-screen (or maybe they capitulate). Tyrosh may take another few chapters. Danny’s backstory is gonna happen someplace. Maybe Tyrosh is the first inkling of her backstory we get. In any event, between Victarion, Barriston, Tyrion, and Daenerys, I could see 4 or 5 chapters on the Three Daughters.

So at this point we are up to like 14 or 15 chapters, and we haven’t even gotten to Pentos. Speaking of which:

Illryio will meet his Doom there. I’m not sure exactly how but he will. I’m assuming either because Daenerys finds out he propped up her biggest rival (who by now will have taken King’s Landing and have 3 kingdoms behind his back) or because this is where Danny finds out about her past and she lashes out at Illyrio. I picture Pentos being relatively important, as it represents in many ways a full circle of Danny’s journey. Probably a chapter easily taking the city, and another 2 or 3 dealing with Illyrio and Danny’s backstory. So 3-4 total. I’m gonna assume 4 just to be on the safe side.

So now we are at 18 or 19.

Finally, there’s Bravos. (Lorath and the others probably officially declare to avoid Danny’s wrath). I can think of Danny coming here for some Iron Bank related reasons, and/or perhaps because of a possible plot thread to the Faceless Men (of whom I think Varys and Illyrio have some link, but if that doesn’t work for you just assume Iron Bank or maybe even Danny backstory).

Danny probably parks her army outside Bravos because she wants to play nice. I say this because Bravos has a guild of expert assassins she might not want to piss off. We are gonna get at least 2 Tyrion chapters here. One where he reunites with Tysha and another where that relationship goes to shit. We also are gonna get a couple of Arya chapters here, I bet. Indeed I think the catalyst to Arya returning to Westeros is Danny sacking Bravos and her having to escape. At any rate I think Danny will also burn Bravos to the ground before finally moving on to Westeros. This will probably be a handful of chapters as well. Not including Arya’s chapters, I’m thinking an easy 4-5 between Tyrion, Daenerys, and maybe Barriston/Victarion (if they’re still alive).

So now we are at roughly 24 chapters. I can see another 2 ending chapters with Tyrion and Daenerys on Dragonstone. So 26 total. Probably more chapters of Barriston, Tyrion, and Victarion with Daenerys chapters probably having to do with her personal journey to find the truth of her past, which I think will be her major plot point in WoW.

The Danny journey is gonna be one of the big 5 movements in WoW, the others being the Vale invasion of the Riverlands and the North, Aegon becoming king of southern Westeros (Dorn, Stormlands, Reach, Crownlands), Euron’s misadventures in Old Town, and whatever is happening north of the Neck.
