The crazed boy-king Joffrey Baratheon, Tywin's grandson, is also dead after being poisoned at his own wedding, and succeeded by his younger and more pliable brother, Tommen. Tywin Lannister is dead, shot on the privy by his long-abused dwarf son Tyrion. With Tywin dead and Tyrion gone, Queen Regent Cersei is now Head of House Lannister and tasked with the burden of continuing her father's legacy. Westeros is on the brink of collapse, and many are seizing what they can while the realm implodes, like a corpse making a feast for crows. The War of the Five Kings, once thought to be drawing to a close, is instead entering a new and more chaotic phase. Tywin Lannister shot dead on the privy by his own son Tyrion.
