The Uncrowned Heir: An Aerea Targaryen Quest

If we have to conquer a kingdom I'd rather it be on Essos than Westeros. Jaehaerys, for all his many faults, ultimately improves the lives of people on Westeros a lot as fairly effective king and administrator, and that's in addition to him being the only other person with dragons around, who could consequently push our shit in if it came to blows unless we get other dragon riders to help us, and these days all the other dragon riders are either Jaehaerys' wife or his kids

In contrast Essos may as well be free real estate in comparison.

I mean that is an option, sure. I think my plan would work well for that as well.

Balerion's rider usurping their relatives? Maegor the Cruel redux, albeit with a better claim than he ever had. Boring. Played out.

Let's do admin shit and improve on Jaehaerys's projects tenfold instead. Show the old man up at his own game. The future is now.

I'm fine with either, the problem is that Jaehaerys... Sorry if I'm wrong, but isn't he like notoriously stubborn and kinda, uh, sexist? It'd be an uphill battle for everything

Info dump post, because that statement is not quite correct.

Jaeaherys' kids are 2 (Daenerys) and 0 (Aemon) by the time you come back (early 56). You won't see further dragonriders from that line for another 10 years at minimum, and probably for even longer.

But there IS another dragonrider.
Aerea rides Balerion
Jaehaerys rides Vermithor, a powerful dragon, too.
Alysanne rides graceful Silverwing, often coiled together witgh Vermithor.
...and your own mother Rhaena, Jaehaerys' oldest sibling, rides Dreamfyre.

Of course, you are not on best terms with your mother, either. In fact, you may resent her more for taking you from King's Landing than you resent Jaehaerys for stealing your throne. But she has over the years grown resentful of her rights being skipped over by Jaehaery's revolt against Maegor, too.

Hmm. I suppose in that case if we could convince Rhaena to back our claim then we could take the throne by killing Alyssane and Jaehaerys. Balerion being on our side does seem like it should tip the scales in our favor if its 2v2 rather than 1v2.

Mind, in that case we really do seem like we would be replaying Maegor the Cruel, complete with taking the throne via the support of our dragon riding mother.
 
Another point in favor of VengeanceMaxxing is that, with Rhaenyra Quest's Rhaenyra going full KnightMaxxing, the multiverseos is probably going to run into a Maegor-with-teats deficit. So, really, when you think about it, we have to overthrow Jaehaerys and crown ourselves Empress and Autocrat of all Westeros for the good of the multiverseos

Maegor isn't even himself anymore, given Maegorquest. Although given that Maegor's sorcerous bent, he may give himself teats and save other teat-havers the trouble.

By the Fourteen Flames, I hadn't even considered this. But if this happens we run into a Maegor-without-teats deficit.

Now, I'm not one to stand in the way of a dragonlord sorcerer/alchemist giving themselves the gender-affirming surgery they desire, which means, for the good of the multiverseos Aerea must both overthrow Jaehaerys and get top surgery
 
[X] Plan Dragonlady of the North
[X] Plan Heir of Doomed Valyria
[X] Plan: Holy Unicorn Girl
[X] Plan: Dragonlord Reborn

I am edging my bets with all my favorite Plans.
 
[X] Plan See the World
-[X] Shivering Sea
-[X] Northern Free Cities
-[X] Valyrian Steel
-[X] Precious Stones
-[X] Agility
-[X] Restless

Aerea was happier being a stableboy than a princess; to me, that says she she values freedom over glory. So IMO, taking the throne, legitimately or otherwise, isn't what's going to make her happy. If the adults in Aerea's life all want to make themselves miserable, spending all their time worrying about taking or keeping the throne, let them; more fun having cool adventures out on the road for her.

EDIT: Of the other plans, the ones I'd rather see win are:

[X] Plan Crusader Queen
[X] Plan Holy Unicorn Girl

Also, I'm pretty sure "The Horse Girl That Mounts the World" is invalid, because you can't take "Restless" if you choose to take 2 curses instead of 1, so either that plan needs to be reworked or the people voting for it should change their vote.

Plan: Dark Queen

[X]Mantarys
[X]Summer Islands
[X]Precious Stones
[X]A Crown
[X]Sorcery
[X]Scales

Is it advantageous? No
Is it interesting? Hell yeah
 
[X] Plan: Dragonlord Reborn

Actually changing my vote to this because melancholic potentially messes with the action economy.
 
[X] Plan: Came Back Strong
I really like this plan but I also think it'd be fun/interesting to see Aerea and Ghost convos so...

[X] Plan: Ghost of Valyria
-[X] Shivering Sea
-[X] Grass Sea
-[X] Valyrian Steel
-[X] A Crown
-[X] Possession
-[X] Sorcery
-[X] Bloodlust
-[X] Melancholic

(also I think the warcraft aspect would really help when we fight Jaehaerys), I was also considering swapping out Either Shivering or Grass Sea for Mantarys so we aren't completely inept at Leadership but wasn't sure

Eh. My plan ain't winning anyway, but for completeness sake:

[X] Plan The Horse Girl That Mounts The World
-[X] Shivering Sea
-[X] Grass Sea
-[X] Valyrian Steel
-[X] A Crown
-[X] Prowess
-[X] Restless

And the one that has still a chance:

[X] Plan: Came Back Strong


Though I feel it's kind of a waste to not go full FITE Visenya at that point.
