The Iron Throne was already in massive debt to foreign banks before the war even began, and the Lannisters' immense wartime spending increased the crown's debts to crippling levels. House Lannister and its allies have managed to crush House Stark, but in many ways it was a pyrrhic victory. However, Cersei is neither a master strategist nor a skilled diplomat (unlike her father and brother) and she faces mounting crises that would have strained even their abilities. Now with even Tywin and Joffrey dead, and Tyrion fleeing the realm, there are no more checks on Cersei's power, and she is essentially the Ruling Queen of the Seven Kingdoms in all but name. Cersei has been blocked by several powerful men over the years, including her husband King Robert Baratheon and his friend Eddard Stark, but due to her betrayals they are both dead. Queen Cersei Lannister succeeds her father as the head of House Lannister, and once again takes over as Queen Regent, as Tommen has yet to come of age. 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. King Joffrey Baratheon, poisoned at his own wedding.
