If I may ask about no cloaking and no bedding write-in request, what will we probably get if we don't ask for it? Also if we don't request it can we ask it in wedding prep? In Dorne marriage with women as the Head of House are more common so I wonder what balance Viserys and Qoren will push without the cloaking request.
[X] Plan: Foundation of a Reign
-[X] Delay the actual wedding.
--[X] Until the beginning of spring. (This is a Moderate Request)
-[X] Ask that all of your children be allowed to claim dragons or given dragon eggs. (This is a Minor Request)
-[X] Request that all your children have the Name Targaryen, with Qoren's heir taking the Martell name upon succession. (This is a Moderate Request)
-[X] Request absolute cognatic inheritance of both titles to be spelled out in the agreement. The firstborn inherits the Iron Throne, the secondborn Dorne, regardless of gender. (This is a Moderate Request)
-[X] Ask for a voice on Stepstone matters. (This is a Moderate Request)
This is Equal Pareting with Stepstone and Don't ask Major without Qoren Progress. As early pusher of co-parenting from the start I am gladdened more people support it. In the otherhand If I am allowed to convice people to Vote for Stepstone negotiation request. I feel neglecting it is a greatly missed opportunity and may let Daemon have a base to attack Qoren and Dornish.
Stepstone negotiation as a request is a request for Viserys to grant us more political power and influence. In previous discussion many were asking, how can we gain influence? This is one of the way how by actively involved in important negotiation we show that we have political power and influence over the realm. A seat at Stepstones negotiation is also the first time we will have direct control over the Realm situation like Teen Spirit said below, emphasis mine.
But again, Rhaenyra can only influence the agreement, not control it. With the Stepstones being an exception if you choose to get involved in that.
In canon Viserys won't actively give Rhaenyra control and influence beyond defending her Claim. He even actively reduce her influence when he invite Otto back as Hand after Lyonel death despite it being the perfect time to appoint hid Heir, Rhaenyra, as Hand. This is still the same passive Viserys.
We must actively ask for more power and influence, just like how we asked for our Progress, like how we independently desired the small council seat, and like how we forced Viserys to knight us. Having a seat in Stepstone negotiation is asking Viserys to start sharing power and influence over the Realm and the world at large. Another importance of involving ourselves at the Stepstone is an early effort to weaken Daemon, ally Velaryon, and empowering us.
-Daemon Targaryen
With us at the table we can prevent possibility of Daemon having power base by becoming Lord of Stepstones. As Lord of Stepstone he can amass power independently of the Crown and directly threaten Qoren in Dorne in case hostility broke out. We must weaken Daemon as much as possible as his path almost inevitably cross us. As he is currently not on the table we may easily push him aside and have ally in Otto and Qoren in this.
-House Velaryon.
House Velaryon either lack voice or have only Rhaenys on the table, in contrast with Qoren, Viserys, and the whole council. Either way we can endear Velaryon by benefiting them here or incentivizing them to be close to us at the table. Proving our shrewdness to Rhaenys or opening a chance of possible alliance.
-Power and influence.
Having a seat at Stepstone give us direct influence over dividing power and wealth from the Stepstones. People that wanted their agenda in the Stepstones to go through will approach us offering deal and favor increasing our power and influence. We can also benefit our ally like Isembard's trade fleet. This also show our capability to Otto and Rhaenys.
With this I hope people vote for Plan that include Stepstone those are Don't ask for anything "Major" and Foundation of a Reign
Approval Voting
[X] Plan: Don't ask for anything "Major".
