Feast Chapters

[Jinglehopper]

He may have fled to the Free Cities, but I think you are right. He can do more from King's Landing, even if he is invisible. I like to think he would try to thwart the Lannisters with subtle politicking in the city. He definitely has enough contacts and little birds to plant the seeds of civil unrest. I imagine the smallfolk are unsure of their leadership with Tywin dead and the male heir so young. Even if they loved Cersei, which they don't, it would be an uphill battle for her to maintain order in the city with so much war present in the land.

So here's to Varys sowing discord in the slums of King's Landing.

 

[WinterIsComing]

"he's pretty firmly in the 'good guys' camp"

I agree Direwolf. I have thought that since the first book and Arya's overhearing him when hunting cats. I have always thought of everything going on as kinda a chess match between Varys and Littlefinger with Varys being the good guy. (well as good as anyone is in these books.)
