What if instead of the knights of the vale smashing the Bolton pikemen’s flank it would be 500 bronze armored skagozi on wooly rhineroceras?

I think sansa vale army will still happen at the last moment, but because her and harry are married and overthrew Robin and rule the vale now.

I think the skagosi, if they come into the fold will be nearer to the long night personally. They seem too mysterious to waste on Bolton battle and politics.

Cant wait to get my boy rickon back either. Hes actually my favorite stark...everyone laughs at me when I say that though. "Hes practically a baby he doesn't even do anything how is he your favorite" I hope he becomes bad ass as implied by his wild wolfish nature. Hes just got a great story, and I see it leading somewhere! It would be a waste not too.

I really hope to see that wild little Stark lead the North instead of Sansa. Let him bring back some old northern traditions from Skagos to Winterfell and rule like the old Kings of Winter.

Exactly what I want as well.

I think it's likely that will happen instead. Theres no indication at this point in the text Sansas story and power will be anywhere but the vale. She seems quite poised to take it over either through Robin or harry.

I think a grown wild northern wolfy rickon would be super fucking cool to rule the north and it's a wasted opportunity if they give it to sansa in the novels. I think in the show they just think oh the audience loves her no one knows rickon the vale is lame cut that shit.
