Isn't the Iron Bank a plotline that was abandoned? If so, then how powerful were they?

[@TheCriticalAnalysisHub]

The Iron Bank is strong af in the books still. Stannis is still alive as well

Do you think the Iron Bank is the real power behind the throne?

No

Like the Bank of England, the Iron Bank controls a lot of foreign wealth. For example Larrys the clubfoot has the wealth of house Strong Banked at the Iron Bank. An other additional perk of the Iron Bank is a close connection to the Faceless men of Bravos. When anyone wants to make a move against the Iron Bank, the Faceless men kill this anyone because the Iron bank is their biggest supporter. The one thing that is lacking for total control of Power is a spynetwork like Varys little mice or birds but if you can pay the faceless men to kill someone discretely you can also pay them to find secrets or spread fake news.
