Winter is Coming: House Stark Quest

[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] 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.
 
[X] Send word to Storm's End and awaken the men. Shireen Baratheon is Queen of Westeros now.
[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.
 
Anything aside from Ned Dayne please.

Like Arya is too good for fucking Dorne, wouldmt want to be sent to the other side of the literal continent, and the dude has zero claim anyway.

Take the leap.... you don't want lady Yronwood

Fuck it, you guys convinced me.

[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!)

Depends on whether or not Ned Dayne is in the win. I'd prefer to go with Yronwood as it's the only really sensible option but if I had to choose between Arianne and Ned Dayne...

I'll rationalize it as Arianne seducing the sexy warrior king rather than the other way around, as TBH it actually makes somewhat more sense and given that she used sex in canon it's not utterly implausible, especially if she thought it would mean her family's death otherwise (and it's not like she can seduce/marry fAegon either seeing as he's already married to Dany).

I think his reign would be too unstable, it would be like making House Umber the LP of the north. It wouldn't work long-term and by long-term i mean a span of a few years. Would it be stable enough to last the entire long night.. i wouldn't think so. Our way relies on less lives lost, much more stable than putting the Yronwoods or the Daynes in charge. We also get Gorgeous Waifus

Ned will be so proud of Robb, kicking ass in the south and then coming home with a Dornish bastard just like he did ;)

Except home is now atop a wicked metal chair, so, maybe not exactly the same.
 
Tyene is an infamous poisoner and we are (indirectly) responsible for her father's death.

Like sure she's pretty but we aren't touching the Sand Snakes (save perhaps Sarella who is always the exception, and one of the most awesome people in Westeros) with a ten foot pole and twenty good crossbowmen.
 
[x] Prince Doran can have one chance. Surrender unconditionally and he and his line will be allowed to return to the realm (with hostages) and his brother's bones will be returned. You extended an olive branch with Ser Gregor's head and were met with silence.
[x] Make no announcement beyond the murder and lead the army forward. The rest can come in time.

People want to take crack options , just because they think they will get away with it. But - taking the quest a little thoughtfully would be better wish fulfilment. A serious quest makes Good End For All hard. This quest makes it easier. Think of all the people of Westeros you could give warm fuzzies!
 
Besides folks, Robb has just conducted several outrageously successful military battles, is now the only realistic option to take the crown, and is just a few sexual conquests away from becoming The Most Interesting Man In Westeros. Why vote for options where he's not getting laid for years until Shireen is old enough. He's fourteen, an affair with a northern girl would be like screwing a shaved bear, so he's looking for a bit of strange. Considering all this, why not the Dorne chicks?

Having fun is one thing...putting Small Robb into Things That Could Kill You...Bad Idea.

Rule number 1. Don't sleep with crazy. Or those that may have a grudge more so if they are excellent poisoners.
 
Speaking of which:

@DkArthas, @Crimson Moon, @Dark Abstraction, @Shapeless Phobos, @Superticus, @Ultimatum, @LordCassius, @Molyneux, @oilworker, @Pipeman, @Versharl

Though I know many of you may not agree with my write-in, I would like to plead with you to change your votes. Disunited, we are nothing against the tides of realists and naysayers who don't want starks on literally every lord paramountship we can plant a warging brat on.

I know many of you may not tolerate one waifu or another here for various reasons, especially given both's track records. However, rather than arguing over which is better, you should unite under a single banner.

Rather than squabbling over which of these wonderful ladies sleeps with Robb, I implore you to vote for both (two is always better than one, after all)! Together, we can take this vote to greater heights than ever imagined.

DON'T LET OUR DREAMS REMAIN AS JUST THAT! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

JUST DO IT! ONWARDS TO VICTORY, MEN!

... :V
*Best Gimli Impersonation* You have my vote! (Also my Dice Modifier)

To everyone voting for the write in, I'd just like to say that you do you.
Also, I'd like to pose a question to those same voters. Is there a reason to not include Yronwood's daughter? Or hell, a Dayne? They probably have some unnattached females, right? That way, all the bases are covered. Just a thought.
Yronwood is already married and the only Dayne girl is betrothed. You have to draw the line somewhere y'know. We have standards.
Edit: Also marrying the daughter of someone we've killed is practically a Stark tradition. We're gonna bring that back.
