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

If Valarr is successful in establishing a colony in the Stepstones, and it becomes Lucien's fief, we can have the right amount of income to create and maintain a small professional army.
That's what I'm aiming for, at this point I'm a single issue voter. "The Most Serene Port Tabasco of the Stepstones and The Narrow Sea" does that sound wordy enough? or should we add more ostentation to it?

Honestly, I feel the Stepstones could use a new name. The original is what it was a den for pirates and slavers to operate. Why not name it into something else like...? The Archipelago?
 
Or Lordship of the Dragonfangs
Dragonfangs is good, I think Grand Duchy will do as legal standing if Viserys doesn't make it a kingdom/Procterctorship "Prince Lucien, Lord of Port Tabasco, Duke of the Dragonfangs, and Lord Protector of the Narrow sea" sounds like nice collection titles for our boy.

Dukes aren't really a thing in Westeros though.
 
Lucien of House Targaryen, Prince of Arkynstone, Overlord of the Dragonfangs, Warden of the Narrow Sea

P.S: Arkynstone (formerly Bloodstone), Dragonfangs (formerly Stepstones)

Well, at least he won't die soon of sickness like some many infants... BUT knowing your dices that is not a guarantee for long term survival... Rhaenyra may still be named heir in a few years.

The same could be said for Rhaenyra, specially when she is coming to War with us. Remember that they improved the Scorpions bolts and failing in the sea from the sky could be deadly.


just think "Lord Paramount" is a mouthful. Either Highlord, Archlord, or Overlord would have been better fitting.

We could just be named Warden of the Steptstones or HighLord, Marshal or something that already exists...

Well, normally you would be right BUT thanks to Lucien´s insane ablative armor of omakes, memes, OC sheets, and other bonuses... Nyra, Laenor, Aegor, and Daemon are probably safer with Lucien in war than they are in the Red Keep.

To be honest, I don´t really have any problem with merely "Lord of the Stepstones"... The other titles are too wordy, and the Stepstones don´t really qualify for a Kingdom due to their size (the are 1/4-1/3 smaller than Iron islands)

Does it? That bonus only counts to Lucien own actions, unless he is glued to a character side all times things can get tricky, besides there more ways to die than an blade or a stray arrow.

Plus magic bugaloo.

Well, the Bonus for the Stepstones was not only a bonus for the recruitment call (IIRC it also helped to get more of the Stepstones for us and better rolls for battles), so I am pretty sure that ti would help a lot.

And even if it ends up only for recruitment, there will be plenty of meatshields between the Dragon Riders and the enemies so they would be significantly safer than otherwise.

Well the Dragonriders could just drop boulders on them or a lot of metal flechettes. Flechettes would be good against any army formations, static defences and ships. The ballista would have to be uncovered to take full advantage of their firing arcs.
 
Fuck, I totally forgot about the Magic Bugaloo...

I have to say that I am pretty worried about this whole magic thingy.
Even with the +350 bonus making the result as positive as it can reasonably get, Magic in ASOIF is always of the "Power for a Terrible Prize" variety, and besides that it also tend to be Dangerously Stupid, Stupidly Dangerous or both, for both the caster and its targets.
Lets just say that Viserys may soon find himself doing to Baelon what he did to Rhaenyra in canon.

That being, ignoring all his faults, and praising him when he does not deserve it, and protecting him even when he should be punished for crimes that he commits.

Among other things.
So the if I understand this correctly the roll was to see Viserys reaction to the baby and wether he would resent him for the death of Aemma and maybe hate him, no?

Well, on one hand it is not that good that he will grow up being spoiled rotten, but on the other hand it's great news to know that Viserys will love his son deeply and not blame him for what happened to Aemma (that poor child is totally innocent of all of that mess, unlike Melos)

All i shall say, is that depending on how the Stepstones goes, Otto might see a reason for another to be crowned.
To be honest the most "Otto" thing to do would be to use the "I WANT GRANDKIDS ASAP" card with Alicent and then try to get her Grandaughter betrothed to the new heir.

But I am a little worried about the fact that in 20 years we may very be the "Greens"

Well I am going to roll if one or both the girls get pregnant before we head out.

And even then, there is always the possibility of our leading ladies to just join us anyway because they are… well

We'll have a different color then the greens, unless we make that choice.
