And What a Dance it Was (NO SV, War is Coming, Prepare)

Also Hotd episode one will be it's own adventure before the Stepstones war I've decided.
So we are starting in the tourney? As a participant I suppose...
Rhaenyra is probably going to be the heir to the throne ( By that time she didnt go to labour but as a Queen she needs to be realist, even if the baby survived there's 50% chance of being a girl)
Well since it seems that Rhaenyra will probably marry soon (with Lucien) and start producing heirs of her own, there is the possibility of naming his future grandson as heir...

I hope that he doesn´t but he may do it.
Yep.

This is going to be a long Saturday night.
Well, I can see Corlys pressing for this match even if Laena would not be the first wife, because if we get a lot in the stepstones (and we may reach +200 bonus so it is likely to be massive), our kids of Velaryon blood are likely to inherit it... That way the Velaryons would control the Narrow Sea as they always wanted.
They will. As long as Otto Hightower or one of his cronies isn't running the show... The Watch will maintain its standard.

However, that's the problem. It's the perfect army for a coup.
It is good that the Guard and his officers are loyal to us then...
Thank the Gods for that.
Well, as the official asshole he is likely to start some shit... Hopefully, he won´t destroy Alicent and Rheanyra's friendship though.

And @Magoose what would have happened if we have taken these other two actions last turn?
[]The Killers for Hire: You need to bring these men to heel, PErhaps coin can work Cost 30 BP
[]Breaking the Alley: You want to smash these fuckers down to dust. Make them think about what they have done… and then hope they survive. Cost 25 BP
Because I had doubts about whether to pick the actions of my old plan and these ones...

And besides that, when are we going to hit puberty and reveal the traits? In this update, in the rumor mill, or after the time Skip?

I think one of the main concerns of Lucien marrying Rhaenyra by Aemma is,

1 He might try to take the Power from Rhaenyra as her husband and as a man.( Wich was expected when the heir was a woman and she married)
2 His religion, its costum for the High Septon to bless the new ruler, no ideia of how they would react with Lucien on the Throne....
3 His multiple wifes, Lucien himself has a claim on the Throne, althought weaker than Rhaenyra. Nothing stops one of his wives or kids for trying to Usurp Rhaenyra and her children.

I think that covers it.

Well, I can perfectly understand why Aemma would be wary of marrying her only daughter to Mini Daemon... But commenting in the reasons you give.

Unfortunately the thing about the husband trying to take power away from Rhaenyra is that is something that is likely to happen no matter whom Rheanyra marries... At least Lucien has been close friends with Rhaenyra since childhood, so it is at least less likely to happen.
2 His religion, its costum for the High Septon to bless the new ruler, no ideia of how they would react with Lucien on the Throne....
Technically the new ruler would be Nyra (who practices the Faith of the Seven), we as king consort should be significantly less relevant...

And apparently the new High Septon is going to be significantly less stupid than his predecessor, so not many problems there.
3 His multiple wifes, Lucien himself has a claim on the Throne, althought weaker than Rhaenyra. Nothing stops one of his wives or kids for trying to Usurp Rhaenyra and her children.

Well, that is a risk, somehow mitigated by Targaryen's most disgusting practices regarding marriage...

But seriously let's make sure that we raise all our children right and make them learn common human decency (a great rarity in Westeros), so that we can avoid the train wreck that is happening in the show.

Or likely in the Small Council Meeting.

After all, we have time to really screw things up.

Now I'm not saying our actions will prevent a succession conflict. But we are having some fun times...

And since we have Maegors Blood still running around, Along with other possible events that could make the war come, and there are those that would love to see Rhaenyra not take the throne.

But since you haven't gotten that shit... you'll see later just how badly your chaotic actions will turn... things interesting.

All I shall say is this:

We will most certinaly have plenty of time.
It is good that the Guard and his officers are loyal to us then...

Well if he becomes a kings guard, he may still be a pure cinnamon roll that wasn't gone out from... you know, sleeping with his charge.

Not telling.
And besides that, when are we going to hit puberty and reveal the traits? In this update, in the rumor mill, or after the time Skip?
It will come in this next update.
1 He might try to take the Power from Rhaenyra as her husband and as a man.( Wich was expected when the heir was a woman and she married)
Well that is entirely possible, and you have the choice to do that. but it will carry consequences.
2 His religion, its costum for the High Septon to bless the new ruler, no ideia of how they would react with Lucien on the Throne....
We are going to be a consort, not the king. If we ever became the King, it would be because everyone would be dead.
3 His multiple wifes, Lucien himself has a claim on the Throne, althought weaker than Rhaenyra. Nothing stops one of his wives or kids for trying to Usurp Rhaenyra and her children.
Unlikely, for three very important reasons.

1. Lucien has no desire for the Throne itself, mostly because he's a good boy who... hates politics.
2.He still follows the last wishes of the Old King, which is to keep the realm stable, and at peace.
3, His other wives' children will have an inheritance they can claim, due to... Well, The Stepstones.
Unfortunately the thing about the husband trying to take power away from Rhaenyra is that is something that is likely to happen no matter whom Rheanyra marries... At least Lucien has been close friends with Rhaenyra since childhood, so it is at least less likely to happen.
Lets just say that we respect her well enough to not... take it away from her unless she tells us to take command.
Technically the new ruler would be Nyra (who practices the Faith of the Seven), we as king consort should be significantly less relevant...
Correct.

Though there will still be friction.

At least we're actually from Westeros, unlike foreign brides.
And apparently the new High Septon is going to be significantly less stupid than his predecessor, so not many problems there.
Wait until you hear what he has to say next update.

It's going to be something fun.
But seriously let's make sure that we raise all our children right and make them learn common human decency (a great rarity in Westeros), so that we can avoid the train wreck that is happening in the show.
Well, perhaps not decency, but self-control. They need to be ruthless.

They need to know that there is a time or place... for all the things that need to be done.

Well like I said those are Aemma concerns, since she doesnt know what we know after all

We should probably think of names for each of the islands of the Stepstones. Supposedly, there are a little over a dozen. So, far three of them have been canonically named: Bloodstone (the largest/unofficial capital), Grey Gallows, & Torturer's Deep. We could go with just 14 major islands and rename Torturer's Deep into something less ominous.
 
Again, nicknames are variable. To people who view them favorably or just normally, they are the "Gems/Jewels of the Realm." But to those who view Rhaenyra less favorably would refer to them as "Rhaenyra's Brood," implying they are nothing more than little pack of animalistic children playing around as though they are perfect adults.
