[] Make for Dragonstone. Shireen can ride up there for the marriage while you oversee the hunt for Aegon.
-[] Shireen will travel with a considerable escort, of course, and mostly by land until she can reach a port at Blackwater Bay, making her way to Dragonstone from there.
-[] You will not leave any of the Seven Kingdoms undefended if you can help it, for a threat to one is a threat to all. You will send a force of 30,000 North to aid against the Wildlings. This force will include the Umbers, Mormonts, and Hornwoods along with contingents of Reachmen and Stormlanders. It will be under the command of the Greatjon. Dorne will be expected to contribute to the cause once Arianne Martell 'retires' her father.
-[] Send word to the Westerlands. Call for their arms, as part of the Realm, to assist in hunting down Aegon.
-[] Send envoys to the Free Cities. The main message will be that Westeros will not look kindly on those that harbor or aid the false dragon, his supporters, or anyone else that would try to usurp the throne of Westeros. Those opposed to him, either in arms or by providing information on him, will be looked on favorably as partners in future trade.
--[] City specific envoys:
---[] Braavos: appeal to their rivalry with the 'free' cities that support slavery. Aegon is backed by powerful forces in the other free cities. Probably by their rivals, and those that support slavery (open slavery, or slavery in all but name) at that. If Aegon took the throne the rivals of Braavos would have Westeros in their pocket.
[] Make for Storm's End. You cannot lose the Baratheons or their claim. You will reinforce it with a force of 20,000. Get hitched, then on to Dragonstone to personally oversee the Hunt for Aegon.

-[] Dragonstone will be the primary staging point for the Hunt for Aegon. Forces not going North or to Storm's End will gather here. This will be a joint effort between Randyll Tarly and Davos Seaworth, commanding the army and navy respectively.

Here we are. Two variations of 'Protector of the Realm'. I specified Shireen's route in the first version, and added calling out to the Westerlands for both. I figure asking for their aid in dealing with Aegon, getting in on the dragon killing fun, is more palatable then sending them north to fight Wildlings. And it's a chance for them to 'rejoin the fold'.
Tarly/Davos are in charge of the Hunt for Aegon while Robb gets hitched with the version that has him going to Storm's End. Though he'll get back there as soon as he can.
The version that has us going to Storm's End has us bringing a force of 20,000 to get us there.
Still not sure about the commander for the northern force. Greatjon is cool and all, but is he a good commander? How is Roose as a commander?
And any input about the other free cities? Anyone?
