The Heir of the Dragon: A Rhaenyra Targaryen Quest

I... don't think that's how it works?

@Teen Spirit , I didn't think that one of them had to be actually literally present at the very moment to annoint us a Knight? Since this is pretty damn important, we should probably get this clarified.

I don't really care if that's how it works or not. Based on certain assumptions from my impression of Books Grand Maester I'm in favor of taking Viserys with us anyway, and Johanna since it would be messed up to call him away from his pregnant wife.

I'm leaning towards this but the travel plan isn't great and I think we need to bring Laena with us.

But Johanna isn't willing to travel while pregnant, so bringing her would mean delaying for several turns, and even setting that aside I don't think it's a good idea to have the competition present on a tour that's meant to entrench our position as heir.

This is mostly a different route, I think the purpose/goals of the other plans are mostly the right idea, but my understanding of the discussion last turn was that if we're going to go on the progress immediately it would be better to go North quickly to avoid the deepest winter. Finishing with Driftmark is a consolation for cutting Laena as a companion for the logistical difficulties mentioned, at least if we visit we can spend some time with her.

Simple, when we get back to Johanna once she gives birth we bring her with us on Syrax plus Viserys and possible sibling.

I really really don't think Johanna is gonna be any state for travel, much less dragon riding right after giving birth.

Also not a serious issue, but I will actively anti-vote anything that brings Stepmom with us to show off her new likely son

Thank you for taking the effort to map out a solid route @Azel ,however, I disagreed with a few things such as the original stance to not include public training especially in light of the QM's clarification, and in spite of the urging of @The Laurent

This seems reasonable, and is the one accumulating votes, though I also worry about ending in the North for seasonal reasons.

Edit, oh, right approval voting. Approval voting this too:

It took ages to plot a proper course, that involved the North early and yet put us in proper range to witness our half-siblings birth.

See next page for Original Plan with updated travel route.

Your plan has two major flaws: first the route is just awful, as it leaves the North to end which will likely mean will be there in the Winter and I fail to see who detouring thought the Northern Vale leads to Seaguard. The second major issue is that you aren't using this time to scope out a future husband.

Edit: I'll also vote for [] Plan Introducing the Princess-Knight.

Later Edit: adding plan back because that is suppose to help with the tally

I'm sort of against a goal of scoping out future husbands rn for character reasons - Rhaenyra is just getting into a relationship with Alicent. It's wise, having her already thinking about husbands seems either romantically disloyal or politically cynical, in a way I'd prefer not to play her as.

Bringing along both Gwayne and Laenor for other reasons, but with the side effect of likely getting to know both of them better, seems like a happy medium.

Everybody should stop copying @Azel's travel plan, I feel it leaves the North until too late (we should remember the weather conditions) and the whole Eyrie-detour thought the Northern Vale-Seaguard thing makes no sense.

If we bring Syrax we shouldn't need to specifically detour the whole progress back to King's Landing to visit when our sibling is born, we should be able to just fly back when we get the news and then return to the progress afterwards

Yeah, uh, you have a dragon.

You can dip out of the Progress for a couple of days to return home while the Progress is in transit, it's cool.

I much prefer @Falliant's route (though I'm iffy of going to Stone Hedge / Raventree as a dedicated stop and iffy on Blackhaven) than the other routes in the current plans. Giving Driftmark respect is good, and the ships are not extensively long routes like the Pyke to Bear Island route includes, especially with such likely meaning we're reaching the North in the winter, which seems like a harsh choice.

I find your route a bit overstuffed with just how many locations it hits but the general idea I'm into, though I think The Twins should be after Seaguard here just logistically getting to the Kingsroad makes sense to then follow the Riverun, before turning back for your Riverlands flip towards Eyrie / Pull closer to King Landing for birth.

I prefer to be near-by so we get there quicker, so we can influence things like names and dragon eggs.

I suppose I could change the Riverlands route.

Basically future queen plan without Laena and replacing the husband search with Tourney fighting.

Don't see the need for looking for a husband when the choices are still basically just Laenor and Gwayne, maybe Harwin too. All of them we could meet easily without having every castle try to toss a son at Rhaenyra as she tries to spend private time with Alicent.

Feels like a time-sink and detrimental to finding friends if they're all too focused on getting Rhaenyra's hand.

Edit: Also cut down on a lot of locations, to focus more on the bigger areas and houses.

Way too many stops, Need to cut down on them otherwise you'll be traveling with a small retiune with little time to stop anywhere for any length of time.

Also I feel like bringing Laena is a bad idea, both for political (we don't want Vhagar to overshadow Syrax) and practical (how many places are equipped to feed both dragons at once?) reasons.

I was debating Stone Hedge/Raventree, but
Amos Bracken is a romance option and I think it would be nice to meet some of those on the way
and we can't really just visit one without pissing off the other. Blackhaven is there because I thought Highgarden straight to Storm's End was a really long leg with no stops and I wanted to break it up.
