Winter is Coming: House Stark Quest

[X] Edric Dayne will make a fine Lord of Dorne with the Martells broken. Pressing his (nonexistent) claim would shift power away from the Rhoynar. Perhaps a marriage to Arya could work as well, for he seems a decent enough lad.
[X] There are moments where your choice is all that matters. You have won Stannis' victories and you are betrothed to his only daughter. The men will support you. Do not be afraid to leap. Take the throne.


Fuck the Martells, figuratively. We shouldn't leave a wounded snake alone like that. They will pay us back with interest for this, if left to their devices. We need to have good control over the majority of the Lord Paramounts if our dynasty is to survive.

Maybe we can even call back Jon Snow from the Wall once we are king. We need honest men we can trust to rule effectively. Since there are no whitewalkers, Jon is just wasting his time at the Wall.

Why are people going for Arianne? Just curious. Are you hoping to put a bastard in her, to put her onto Sunspear's seat, what's your goal here? Basically, how are you working to destabilize Dorne for us by voting for it?
 
[X] Lady Yronwood has been recovered by Lord Tarly. With her betrothal canceled, she is heir to your promise to her father. She may not know that, but she would make a fine puppet ruler and could be wed to a man of your choosing to secure her and her children's loyalty.
[X] Send word to Storm's End and awaken the men. Shireen Baratheon is Queen of Westeros now.

Damn it, Stannis is dead.

[X] The Prince of Dorne is an old and sickly man. Write to his daughter and ask for her compliance and surrender. With her wed to a man of your choice and any other claimants removed, Dorne could be secured. Or perhaps a different sort of arrangement could be made if you met her face to face.

Don't really care about Dorne. If this decision backfires, we can always deal with them later. However, the Iron Throne is a different matter altogether. Becoming King is a much preferable thing than merely being a consort and I can't help but want to put a Stark on the Iron Throne, hopefully the first in a long line of Starks. Maybe we can even revive some of worship of the Old Gods in the future once our reign is secure.

[X] Fuck it. Try to seduce the sexy blonde and name your bastard the Lord of Sunspear.

These seem like the most beneficial options for us even though they are a bit risky.

[X] Sleep with the hot blonde chick and Arianne Martell. Whichever one bears our child first will have their kid inherit the throne of Sunspear and the Lord Paramountship of Dorne. The other will of course be kept, with her mother, as wards/captives of the Crown (to be used should the other family start shit up again! Always nice to have a spare dynasty with claims under your thumb to keep things under control!)

The latter choice is absolutely nonsensical but I'm sure it's the one Charcolt appreciates more. :V

Changing my vote. I don't trust Arianne. Let's go for a Stark hegemony.

After thinking a lot, and despite my own previous advice on the matter, I´m going to choose the undoubtedly worst (but also the undoubtedly funniest) option

[X] Fuck it. Try to seduce the sexy blonde and name your bastard the Lord of Sunspear.

As one wise man once said

 
I know there's a crack element here, but is it even IC for Rob to seduce the blond to get her pregnant? I mean, remember that this is a guy who married a chick because she slept with him, breaking off his betrothal with Rosyln Frey.

Anywho, have a tally.

*The point*


*Your head*

Just because it's not canon Robb doesn't mean the character is radically different to the degree that he would cease to give all fucks about honor.


Just because we guide Robb doesn't mean we have to make him fall prey to the same mentality and pitfalls that his canon counterpart already underwent.

He doesn't have to have the same level of honor here, and a teenager riding from pulling off some of the greatest military victories in living memory could easily justify his actions to himself here.

Let's get the bastards out of the way now, so that our future queen won't be upset by infidelity under the vows of marriage.

Robb to Shireen : "Look dear, you were way too young, we weren't married yet, and a young man has needs."
 
. Your scouts had reported that the Targaryens had departed from Saltpans only to land again in the northern Riverlands following the burning of the city.

That's pretty balls.

We can entrap them with the Manderly Foley and crush them with the Royal fleet. We just need to be wary of the Iron Fleet if we do that. No need to risk losing all of our ships in one battle.

The North can raise some more levies and march from Moat Cailin and we can march from the South.

They picked a poor area to start their campaign. We'll drown the dragons in the rivers.

Maybe even at the Frey's doorstep. It would be a nice ending to this part of the campaign. To end at the beginning.
