4. Daenerys Sails For Westeros

It happened. It actually, finally happened.

After years of wondering when the hell Daenerys would actually head to Westeros, or if it would ever happen at all (at times it seemed impossible that she'd ever be able to leave Slaver's Bay), the Unburnt is on her way.

She has the ships. She has the armies. She has allies with a number of major houses (the Greyjoys, the Tyrells, and the Martells). She has, of course, three dragons. And she is sailing to Westeros.

It represents the culmination of everything Daenerys has done over the past 6 seasons, and opens up a new chapter as she can finally set about taking Westeros as her own. With the Unsullied, the Dothraki, the backing of the other houses, and those three dragons, can anyone really stand in her way? We're about to find out, with Cersei vs Daenerys, unless someone (see: Euron) arrives to delay their plan. After years of Dany sitting around waiting for this, I can't wait to see what happens next.
