I'm sure I read about it on the Westeros forums - in fairness every possible outcome has probably been debated a thousand times over there. The fact that Euron is drinking warlock juice in the first place has got to be placing some significance behind his plan other than simply conquering/plundering the south.

so, in book 4,

Euron returned to the isles the day after Balon's death. The timing of his return was questioned by some. He claimed to have traveled all over the world during his exile, including a trip to the feared ruins of Valyria. He also captured and holds hostage several warlocks of Qarth, who may have coached him in black magic.

couldnt find much on demon road, but didnt really look hard, seems it was only ever mentioned twice, both in book 5. chapters 6 & 16

The Valyrian road that connects Volantis to Meereen, going east from Volantis, is commonly known as the demon road because it is such a dangerous way. It runs through Mantarys and the runes of Bhorash.

as for robbs wife being related to maggy the frog, is it possible that theories got mixed up because cersei went with her friend Jeyne to see the woodswitch?

As a girl, Cersei Lannister sought Maggy after hearing rumours about her magical powers. Cersei and her friends Jeyne Farman and Melara Hetherspoon went to her during the tourney held in honour of King Aerys II's visit to the West, at which Cersei became enamoured of Prince Rhaegar.

Jeyne fled the scene at the sight of Maggy's yellow eyes. Maggy initially refused to tell the futures of the remaining girls, but grudgingly agreed faced with Cersei's threats. She allowed Cersei three questions and made the prophecy of the valonqar (High Valyrian for "little brother"), which haunted Cersei thereafter. When Melara took her turn, Maggy predicted that she would die young, and hinted that it would be by Cersei's hand. Dissatisfied, Cersei threw a jar of potion into Maggy's eyes and fled, leaving Maggy to curse them both.

Prophecies

Cersei's queenship: A younger, more beautiful queen will be Cersei's undoing.
Cersei:"When will I wed the prince?"
Maggy:"Never. You will wed the king."
Cersei:"I will be queen, though?"
Maggy:"Aye. Queen you shall be... until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear."


Cersei's children: Cersei will outlast her children and die by the hands of the valonqar.
Cersei:"Will the king and I have children?"
Maggy:"Oh, aye. Six-and-ten for him, and three for you."
Maggy:"Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds," she said. "And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." ”


Melara's marriage: She later fell down a well and drowned.
Melara:""Will I marry Jaime?"
Maggy:"Not Jaime, nor any other man, Worms will have your maidenhead. Your death is here tonight, little one. Can you smell her breath? She is very close."
