Burn the Witch!: Septon Ryman and his followers start doing this to people they declare heretics.Some of the biggest are: The Battle of Tara, the Siege of Myr, the Battle of Narrow Run, the Battle of Novodomo, the Battle of Bloodstone, the Battle of the Agneiat, and the Battles of Ghoyan Drohe. Big Badass Battle Sequence: Due to the number of wars in this story, there's a lot.As a side effect, the resulting inferno burns down most of the inner city enclave. Better to Die than Be Killed: During the sack of Tyrosh, a noblewoman sets herself and her household on fire to avoid being killed or raped.Rhaegar for his part has to reign in his temper at the sight of the Lannister banners.And Ned at least seems to have one for Arthur Dayne for the white knight's loyalty to Rhaegar. Robert and Ned both have one for Rhaegar.While the exact details aren't known, it seems to be that in exchange for the battle strength for Ned's forces win, Ned himself has to die. Bargain with Heaven: On the eve of the showdown with Viserys' forces, Ned invokes the Old Gods to enact revenge on his enemies.Oberyn 'the Red Viper' Martell, leads the Red Viper Rebellion against the Iron Throne.The Sunset Company is led by Robert Baratheon.Their competence is only exceeded by their hatred of slavers. Badass Army: The Iron Legion, a Romanesque infantry consisting of former slaves and some Ironborn.Asshole Victim: Gregor Clegane's death might make readers cheer for the Myrmen for a moment.Mantarys is later press-ganged into the League as well after Viserys leads Volantis' forces in crushing them in battle, while the League and Pact sign a mutual defense treaty and Volantis allies with Khal Drogo and the pirate lord Chang the Invincible.

Also in response to the Abolitionist Alliance, Volantis and Lys grow closer and eventually form a mutual defense alliance known as the Valyrian League, with plans to draw in Norvos as well.Saath and Ibben eventually come together to draw a metaphorical line in the sand against Braavos' perceived expansionism.In response to the growing abolitionist powers, the city-states of Slaver's Bay forge a cooperative Pact amongst themselves.Later on, Lorath becomes a Braavosi client state, and the Summer Islands begin providing resources and volunteers (though whether they formally join the alliance varies from island to island).

Petyr Baelish avoids his canon role of throwing a kingdom into chaos out of hatred.Four years of drudge work in and around Myr has done little to curb his self-importance, however. Instead of being a self-aggrandizing fool who would kill an innocent child on a whim, Gerold Dayne here has entered into Ned's service for the chance to restore his family's honor by killing Arthur and reclaiming Dawn from his fouled hands.Here, he's one of the great heroes of the Abolitionist Alliance. Likewise Vicatarion, who in canon was little more than The Dragon to Balon and later a thug for Euron.Subverted, as it turns out that he's playing a Long Game to take the Iron Throne for himself. Euron Greyjoy is far from the psychotic reaver of canon, instead being one of Stannis' most stalwart and loyal allies.Thanks to being raised and trained by Arthur Dayne and Barristan Selmy, Viserys is an actual Targaryen warrior rather than a wannabe.A Child Shall Lead Them: Viserys becomes the titular head of House Targaryean with Rhaegar's death.
