There must be someone there who will speak for them or know where they went, on the Septon's request I had guards stationed around the Starry Sept to protect it, one of them must have seen him leave.
Also find me the man who let the Faith Militant into the city, my orders where clear they where not to enter, now they've burned some of our oldest and holiest sites.

Greetings Lord Wyman, I know that the current times are kind of hazy because of the war and well ... most of the Houses of the North are suspicious of my House because of past events, but I really wonder if you Lord Wyman would not be interested in changing the relationships of the past and have something more friendly between our two Houses, the Houses of the North must show unity do not agree ?, and I would really be interested in DreadForth having a commercial relationship with White Harbor, but what you tell me Lord Wyman ?.
The Golden Company sits on the Stepstones with a significant force, watching as the forces of the seven kingdoms fight one another with glee biding their time to strike. More and more followers of the Red Faith settle the other islands in that unruly chain, in anticipation of launching an attack on Westeros in the name of their fire god. I will find it difficult to stop a naval invasion alone, and I ask all of you to send me vessels to station at Plankytown to better anticipate and deal with the threat from the East.

I lack the ships, but have a forest doing nothing useful. Grant me shipbuilders to defend my own coast and together we can build something capable of defending our lands.

I'm afraid, that while I posess some shipbuilders, I don't have a great deal of them to spare Lord Baratheon, Dorne is not known for its wood industry.

My Lord Tyrell, with so many lost at Duskendale and with so much trouble at home we must ask how can we continue to fight this war as our people suffer at home?

We have shipbuilders in very close proximity to the Stormlands. The timber there is good, and we have need of replacements for the ships lost. If we can combine the tradition of the Arbormen and the strength of the Stormlanders, we can build an even greater fleet together.

"They say he is tall, strong, fearsome in battle, kind to his men and kinder to his women."
Maella sighed. She had heard a lifetime's full of the charms and wonders of Robert Baratheon. "It is Rhaegar Targaryen we must lust for, sister. At his side we could be as Visenya and Rhaenys come again. We would make a Conqueror out of him....yet weaker, obedient. We could make him ours."
"The Dornish serpent would never allow it."
"We would have to defang her....." ventured Serra, displeased nonetheless. "Perhaps we are fated to die maids, untouched, unloved and unwanted."
"So long as we remain unknown, unseen and unheard...." insisted Maella. "We must reveal ourselves to the world. Land on Westerosi soil and take back what is ours. With the Red Priests and any adventurer who would take us to bed. With poison and with steel. With fire and blood."
"Yes, fire and blood, fire and blood and that accursed sword. Others have tried before us, better others, better men, and they have all failed. Will Yronwood rise for us now? Will Frey? Will the Sistermen and the swords of the Riverlands? We have friends in the Reach still, and elsewhere. But it is not enough."
Maella frowned and sputtered, rising to regard her new dress in the Myrish glass once again. The Monster's daughter had his temper and hard head, but when it came to vanity and appearance, she was all her mother. "So Rhaegar is our hope? We risk it all for the false dragon in the hope he will one day wed us both and give us golden-blooded sons?"
"Hope? Who said anything about hope?" Serra toyed with her sister's straps and tresses, before stepping back and admiring her handiwork. Serra had long shed any vanity she might have had, and these days preferred riding leathers and attire approximate to those of the men of the camp. She might never make for a warrior queen, but she was born to rule and she meant to start looking like it, for one.
The image of the shirtless Blackheart, covered in sweat and staring lustily at them from the doorway, startled them both.

Do you happen to have women available for marriage ?, I heard that Lord Manderly is looking for a marriage for his second son and it would be great to have a friendly relationship with House Manderly.
To: The group of men composing the so called Lord Regents in rebellion against the Crown
CC: Every castle in Westeros and travelling septon and messenger to take to the people.
From: King Rhaegar Targaryen, First of his name, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms etc. etc.
The crimes against my body, the crown and my kingdom are many and well known. The perpetrators of these vile and violent treasons have spilled rivers of blood, mostly their own and the innocent. It is clear now as it was at Harrenhal that their greed outstrips their reach and power by some margin. However a true king knows that he must always consider the good of his people and there is little good to be found in war. As such I make the following offer in the earnest hope that sense and justice will prevail.
Those great houses who have risen in rebellion may keep their seats and traditional titles.
The murderers of Harrenhal and betrayers Rickard Stark and Jon Arryn shall take the black for their crimes but their lords and heirs shall be taken back into the King's Peace.
The Crown shall take hostages, and such lands and fines as it deems appropriate from each of the houses of the regency as the price for full pardons for all concerned.
All may return to their homes and live the rest of their days in peace and plenty.
I urge you to consider these terms earnestly for they are just and gentle. And I warn you to think of your people, of the horrors to come with continued defiance and the million voices calling for peace. I warn you that if you refuse and continue to subject my kingdom to war and anarchy when the time comes that you are defeated in full instead of one army at a time I will not be so lenient.
Ser Willem is a good man and true but I have already promised Lord Royce that I shall release the children to the custody of their mother. I do not wage war on babes unlike some. However I am sure that we have a knightly prisoner to exchange in their stead.

In the days following what was now called the Battle of the Seven Hells, men on both sides worked to recover from the horrible losses on both sides and prepare for the next stage of fighting. Priests and Silent Sisters wounded the battlefield, giving last rights and oversaw the burying of the dead and removal of the wounded. Great works of construction also began on both sides as new machines of war were constructed and repairs to the defenses of Duskendale were worked on.
As the next few days went by ships would arrive and go from Duskendale, presumably bringing in supplies for the besieged soldiers and people within the town. Fortunately no major fighting took place over the next several days as both sides were just too exhausted to do so. Some "probes" were conducted towards the town but they were forced to withdraw by alert defenders on the walls. Every day ships would come and go, until finally they didn't.
A strange quiet suddenly was heard from within Duskendale as all repair work stopped after four days had passed. Curious members of the Grand Army began creeping towards the walls and were utterly shocked when the witnessed white flags go up across the walls and the doors to Duskendale were opened. A man on the wall would call out. "King Rhaegar Targaryen is no longer in custody of Duskendale I have been ordered to surrender the town and the Dun Fort to the Regency Army!"
Ser Roland Crakehall garrisons and occupies Duskendale, accepting the arms and surrender of the occupiers. The surrending nobility is placed in house arrest, and the soldiers guarded watchfully by the vengeful westerlanders.

To put it simply, I wish to offer your followers the ships you need to reach Westeros, so that you may go on this crusade and defend followers of your faith from the Westerosi.
In return though, I ask that the Temple of Light to condemn Braavosi Imperialism whose ruling class, heathens, have inflicted many atrocities on the people of Pentos and brought war to Essos.
Braavos is already offering the same, we will not condemn them at all. Our war is with Westeros not Essos you would do wise to remain our friends. Remember the Lord of Light sees everything.

My lord Leyton, I have been informed that the guards that were at the Starry Sept were those of the Faith and that they walked off with many of the Septon of the Faith and out the gates. Those at the gates were also of the Faith and freely let them into the city.

Private: As promised to your Lord Husband I shall be releasing the children to your care, I offer you the chance to return to your seat or take up residence in Gulltown where I swear you will be treated as guests not prisoners. If as is entirely natural you prefer to join your husband across the sea instead then I shall arrange for a ship to take you and yours away. I beg your pardons for forcing your unseemly rout and taking your home from you my Lady, war is a cruel thing.
