Game Of Thrones Season 8: 20 Biggest Unanswered Questions & Mysteries

16. What'll Happen With The Greyjoys?

Away from the coming threat to Winterfell, we have the family drama of the Greyjoys. Theon wants revenge on his uncle, and to save his sister Yara, much like she tried to save him many moons ago.

Euron, however, isn't going back to the Iron Islands as everyone thinks - he's sailing to Essos for The Golden Company, and if the Season 8 trailer is any indication, successfully returning to King's Landing with them. So what does this mean for the Ironborn subplot?

It'd be strange if they didn't all come face to face again, but when, where, and what happens all remains very unclear. It'd be great if Theon could kill Euron and complete his redemption arc (although even just trying means he's more or less there), and you'd think Euron would have to go, but there's a strong death would fit Theon's arc too, and adding Yara's fate into the mix only complicates things further.
