[] Speak to Qoren About the Deal (This will involve Hidden Dice Rolls)
-[] Write-in Which Term(s) you wish to discuss
Well not so much about changing but asking about if we can add a dragon pit to dorne? And ask about the step stones and it's on goings? I'm curious.
Maybe someone will be able to write this out in a bit better way? If they want to.
[X] Accept them as is

Ok how about this?
[x] Speak to Qoren About the Deal (This will involve Hidden Dice Rolls)
-[x] Write-in bring up the the potential issue about building a dragon pit for sunspear? Tell the prince that dragons should at least have a place to rest and be alone. That Dragonkeepers would be extremely helpful in the matter in making sure that everything goes more smoothly.
Then ask about the situation in the step stones? What has daemon done now?

Not interested in anything more, no issues with the terms (that I have workable and reasonable solutions for), but I am curious about this one thing. (Sleep is for the weak)
Edit: am I seriously the only one voting for this? Alright then, from the popular options I prefer

I would probably emphasize that having expert dragon handlers like Dragonkeepers is pretty useful in itself, but it is pretty good

It's a negotiation, so why accept the first offer?

Um sorry I edited in the part about the dragon keepers as it seemed to be important to add.

It is obviously not absolutely necessary since the Dragons have been living around King's Landing for a few decades, but Maegor was a pretty practical man, and if he built it was for a pretty good reason...
It is not a dealbreaker by any means, but it seems like it would be good to talk about it at least...
As a suggestion, I would keep the Dragonpit and the Stepstones issueas separated in each subvote instead of mixing them together, besides that it looks pretty good

This unless someone actually puts in a vote adressing the real issues instead of giving the dornish their own dragonpit (and thus a place to get Eggs from later) like a rebellion/dance of dragons loving idiot.
Seriously, why do you wanna give them more dragons, the one/two they get the chance to influence without supervision is bad enough. And yes, giving the dragons a safe place to lay eggs, does give them more dragons.

-[X] The timing of Dorne's swearing of fealty
--[X] An immediate oath of fealty upon marriage would offer Dorne more protection against Daemon's Bloodstone Kingdom than an alliance. In a fight between an allied Dorne and Bloodstone, the Iron Throne would be forced into an impossible choice between kin, to help one over the other, or to help neither. In a fight between a Dorne sworn to the Iron Throne, and a Bloodstone which is not, the Iron Throne's position would already be decided. Even should Bloodstone itself later swear fealty, the Iron Throne would be obliged to side against the aggressor in the name of the King's or Queen's Peace. Swearing fealty immediately might even deter such a war entirely.

Again, more, smaller rebellions, separated in time and maybe place, are good (for us personally and for House Targaryen, not so much for the Realm). Gives us a chance to put them down in detail without any of them presenting much of a threat.

Perhaps it's the paranoia, but the gambit of "get dragon-riding princelings, then off their mother before she can come into her own" scares me a hell of a lot more than it seems to have scared the thread, and I want to forestall it if at all possible.

I added argument for Stepstone and I hope it is helpful if anyone want to use it feel free.
Also I wanted to balance the Squired Prince to extend trust in a two way street. Especially important if the Prince is Squired by Qoren skeptical vassal. Also add Zimmerwald excellent timing term.
From the approval I especially like A_somebody for adding Wedding Term so Northern contingent can attend whole.
Approval for every fealty timing option.

Yeah that delay for Dornish integration is too much.

OK, the integration issue is a pretty valid concern, and I think we should ask about the Stepstones as well, then we can see what our approach should be when we have better intel...

Pretty much like Urbans plan but legit don't want to risk the wedding deadline being smack dab in Winter proper. Sure people who really don't like this will have excuses anyways, but we seemed to make a good impression in the North so I really don't want weather to be a legit concern for those that do want to attend. And what's the point of having a giant ass royal wedding if whole portions of the kingdoms can't make it? I also think it's something that Qoren, from Dorne, would legit not think of and tbh Viserys probably wants Rhaenyra married sooner rather than later

This would be much more palatable if we give them a core concrete timetable... I would suggest 24 months because it is the high-end average os seasons duration in Westeros

Point. Updated to say 24 months. I get in character Rhaenyras main motivation is likely just Delay Delay Delay. I however do legit don't want to schedule the Wedding as North men and Valefolk--who seem to like her after her progress actions--are genuinely snowed out. No, dragon taxi really isn't a feasible alternative.

Honestly, considering that seasons in Westeros can go anywhere from 9 months to 10 years, it is pretty reasonable for the Dornish to put a hard time limit in case this is a very long season...
But considering that the average season tends to last anywhere from 18-24 months, I would rather have the hard time limit in the higher end of the average...
