Familial Accent:
-[X]The Port: You need men to work in the Port, and that means you need places for them to work from. Rolled:
D100 + 200 => 240
It took almost an entire year for the men to really have a port to speak of. As it turned out, trying to leave Sunstones harbor required the tide, which somehow was not affected by the tower literally being magicked into existence by the Power of Old Valyrian magic. Well, there was something that was a small problem.
Well, less a problem, and more a quirk that the castle's construction and shifting of the island's landscape have created.
The Tides could only allow ships to arrive only two times a day, at mid-afternoon, and at midmorning, and if they tried any other time, they would be blown off course, and they would have to try again at a later time, waiting in the outer harbor, well within sight of the castle's defenses. The strange thing was ships could leave despite the tides at any time, and always drift outwards. And even if the sailors were coming in had to be wary about running into the port walls.
The water was also incredibly deep, deep enough to where even if a ship were to sink, you think that the port would be operating fine.
That quirk aside, you free-dived to try and see just how deep it was. You didn't reach the bottom, and you thought for a moment you were going to die…
Yet the Grey Ghost saved you, as he always seemed to know when you were in danger of death. But looking into his eyes, you saw that he was afraid of whatever was down there. Whatever it was.
Reward: The Port is up and running and you learn of its quirks as well as what will happen if something happens in it.
You will now have an income in the port, and it will be a big one.
You also know that trying to get to the bottom of the Harbor is… difficult. Something is down there, and you don't know what it is.

-[X]The Castles… Greenhouses?: Vaegon created a large section of the Castle dedicated to large expansive greenhouses, like the Glass Gardens in Winterfell, where they can grow year-round crops. It would be best to get someone on that. Rolled:
D100 + 200 => 214
It took a lot of doing, but the Castles Greenhouses or Glass Gardens were connected to the Volcanos geyser and steam system, meaning that much of the food that was now available to the ten thousand inhabitants of the islands could be supplemented with native fruits and vegetables.
The Sailors could also purchase more supplies… And Winter stocks could be replaced year-round, while older foodstuffs could be used before they spoil or go bad, and replaced by newer supplies. And could remain with such a stock even in winter.
That may change during Winter itself when the island was more populated… but you saw this as an absolute win.
Reward: The Castles Greenhouses are now active, and it it's currently growing winter stocks. This can be changed in a new action.
---------------------------------
-[X]Furnishing the Castle: While the Blackstone is there, there are not really any comfortable places to sleep. So you need to get the place furnished. Rolled:
D100 + 200 => 299
You looked at the Banners that were now at the Castles throne room. "Um, Rhaenyra, where did these banners come from?" You asked as you looked at her, currently smiling and trying to decorate.
"Well you see, we found many of the old banners and tapestries within the Red Keep that my father was trying to place into storage, but instead of letting them rot away in storage, he shipped them to us. Beautiful isn't it." She smiled as you looked at all the banners.
"Is that Aegon's war Banner?" You asked as you looked at the tattered banner that was being hung. "Used by him during the conquest?"
"No, that's Maegors." She replied with a smile. "Balerion had it tied to him before the Faith militant uprising… To show just how powerful the Targaryen Family was. And still is."
"I would believe war banners are not needed." You stated before you saw a Grey Tapestry be placed at the wall where your… throne was supposed to sit. A black Banner, with three heads, and a grey dragon. Grey Ghost.
"I don't believe that the war banner is needed… only that our family is needed to remind us of something." She replied with a smile, as she stood beside you.
Then others unfurled, each of them different banners of dragons. For all your family.
And finally the Three-Headed Dragon of House Targaryen by its side, and a Dragon atop a tower… Alicent's new Personal Sigil. "We are all together now."
"Anything else?" You asked as she snuggled up to you.
"When we get a throne in this room, I'm tying you up, and we won't leave until I'm with child." She whispered hungrily in your ear.
"As my Princess commands." You whispered back.
Reward: The Castle is now properly furnished, though you lack a throne at the moment that is truely yours.
Rhaenrya wants to have more kids.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]The Books: You need to make Vaegon get ready to start keeping tabs on your finances so that you don't get into the black or red too quickly. Rolled:
D100 + 200 => 297
Alicent was waiting for you with the books and she was dreadfully angry. "Must you waste our time?"
Green was all you could see as her dress furled past you, and you were trying your best to control yourself. While it was safe to say you both would find yourselves getting hot, bothered, and touching each other in inappropriate ways later, now was not the time.
You raised an eyebrow. "Apolgise, but what do you mean?"
"You are well enough an administrator, hells, you are even a master above masters, but you continue to shirk the duties of your lordship, and that means we have to look through the books." She said. "It is only a dammed miracle that this entire lordship isn't falling into debt."
"Doing everything we can to handle finances aside, have you forgotten that we no longer need to spend millions of dragons on the castle, to build it up? We only need to furnish it, arm the garrison, and train it. We are quite well right now, aren't we?"
Alicent was not amused. "That may be, but even with that, we have a significant amount of income we must delegate into hiring a staff for this place, which we still do not have, despite your assurances we would."
"I've been busy." You replied.
"As if I have not noticed, but there is a problem, you and I, and Rhaenyra are working together to make sure this entire place won't fall apart."
"Vaegon did good work." You stated.
"That aside, we have to make sure this place won't fall to the elements, as we must try to do that."
You frowned. "Are we making money?" You asked her as you put a hand on the book. "Are we in danger of making a bank loan?"
"No," she said. "But we must."
You shut the ledger. "Alicent, stress is not good for you, and our finances are good. Very good. So let's just put it down, and let VAegon deal with this." You than smiled. "Can you do that?"
Alicent nodded. "I will."
She then gave a peck on your cheek, and you nodded. "Thank you."
Reward: Your finances are very good. Thanks to blatant magic fuckery.
+50 to the Sunstone rumor mills.

-[X]Lord Westerlings' Revenge: Lord Westerling has a request he wishes to make. He wishes to write a letter, saying he would never pay homage to the West ever again. Rolled:
D100 + 200 => 283
To Lord Jason Lannister,
I am told that you have made requests for Lord Westerling to pay Westerland taxes, in addition to his own contributions.
That ends today. When you receive this message, if I learn of any attempt to tax my lord, I will do what Visanya and Aegon failed to do, and burn Casterly Rock to the ground.

Reward: You thoroughly scared the pants off everyone in the Westerlands.
Something tells you that you are slowly stealing Daemon's title as the most dangerous man in Westeros.
-------------------------------------------------
-[X]Dragonrearing: You are going to Vhaegar and separate the dragons to parts of the island where they will be comfortable. Rolled:
D100 + 200 => 257
Laena was surprised that you were coming with her. "You are really doing this?" She asked. "Vhaegar trusts no one but me, and the Dragon keepers?"
"Perhaps, but I have little to worry about." You smiled. "I know dragons."
"Vhaegar is no dragon." She replied as she walked in front of you, looking at the massive Vhaegar as the mighty dragon slept.
"<Vhaegar!>" She shouted as the sleeping dragon woke.
You needed to take the dragon towards the peak, and where the lava flowed, in stead of having her take up many miles of coastline that you could use.
The Dragon woke and looked at both of you, eye dilating as it turned its massive frame to face you. Angered and annoyed.
Laena was annoyed as well. "<Vhaegar, we are moving up the mountain.>" She ordered. But the massive dragon did not move, instead, it puffed smoke, billowing hot air above you to tell you off.
Vhaegar was not… amused by the orders of her young rider.
And than she tried to huff asleep.
<To the Flying leader
Come with me, To a place of warmth and fire.
Where we live, and where we die.
Returned to earth and tire.>"
You sang and the Dragon seemed alert, and attentive, not asleep. Instead, it seemed the great dragon was…
Happy.
You smiled. "<Vhaegar!>" You shouted. "To the summit, to your new home."
The Dragon acknowledge with a roar… before flying up to the mountain, to where you had sent Dragon keepers to mark her landing.
"Incredible," Laena said, completely in shock. "You just-" She stammered.
"Yes." You replied.
Reward: You can now sing and control other dragons, even when their riders are no longer around.
Laena is enraptured by you.
Vhaegar trusts you to be around, though not to ride.
Word spread across Westeros.
They call you the Dragon Lord of the Stepstones. And all Dragon obey you.
