As An Eagle Flies (A House Arryn Quest)

Welp, time to support both the wall so we won't suffer a mini-apocalipse and Aerys 'cuz he sure needs a morality pet right now to comfort him.
Gonna be a bit on the difficult side due to needing to play politics.
So Hoster has a son instead of a daughter as per OTL.
Actually, he already has a daughter.
Knew Tywin could do it.
It's Tywin, who else could have done it.
From royal son to Lord Commander huh?
Aemon really hates it though.
Also seems like the fertility problems Aerys had OTL were really on his side huh. Those shadowy guys certainly aren't helping either.
Pretty much.
hey @Magoose I noticed a mistake on Arstan's character sheet it says that our combat level is skilled when a few turns ago we reached mastery on combat
Fixed that.
 
so @Magoose got a question on how the statue of the father works. The mountain clan interlude was the offspring of a good duties roll. I was wondering if we should have gotten a + 5 from the statue to the negotiation roll.
 
Shit. Going to the Crownlands to settle the King of the Mountains matter might be a good pretense, but I think spending our time there talking more about Joanna's and Aerys' lost child would go over better. We should be there for Prophet!Bro in his time of need.
 
Important Announcement
Alright guys, I'm taking a break for a little while on this quest. I have been paid by some friends offline who liked a quest I did "Silent Second Life" to start a Naruto quest on here.

Money has already been exchanged, So I'm duty-bound (and legally bound) to write that quest.

I hope you all understand.
 
Just thought I'd let you all know.

I'll post a link to it for character creation if Naruto is your thing.
 
Hot damn, a 92 and still at the brink of war. By the looks of it, anything lower than a 90 would have simply decided how much the Valemen would have killed each other, which means we got pretty lucky all things considered.
 
KermitTully?


Tell me the poor boy will not end up looking like this or thinking he is a god.



Edit: For explanation, this is the 'Kemitterand' muppet from old French Political Satyre show 'Le Bebete Show' when they mocked president Mitterand with a Kermit muppet who was often saying ' simply call me 'God' '

Wow that was something. Maybe we could offer one of the Houses of First Men lineage to go back to their Old faith and take up the mantle of the defender of the Old Gods, kinda like how Manderlys hold the title of the Defender of the Faith in the North.
 
An idea for a compromise regarding the Crown: Say our daughter will inherit it as Queen of the Mountains even if we have a male heir for the Lordship of the Vale, then betroth her to Aerys' eldest son so it passes down the line of the Targaryen Kings.

That is an excellent compromise and would be acceptable to all parties due to our daughter's Targaryen blood. Plus, we become the Tywin of the setting by getting our grandson to sit the Iron Throne... OMG, what if our daughter is a Cersei and grandson a Joffrey! Everything we've built destroyed in the next generation.

She can't cheat on her husband with her brother if her brother's her husband

A New Vale: A Happy Beginning
A New Vale: A Happy Beginning.

You smiled as you felt Rhaella's warm hands touch your chest as you woke up from your slumber. The celebration of peace between The Vale and the Mountain Clans was a cause for great drinking throughout the Vale. Enemies joined the halls of their enemies and drank with them as allies.

All around the lands, the drums of war beat… but they only beat. Your orders were absolute. There would be peace. There would be negotiations… the peace you forged would last longer than a year.

Rhaella's illicit purple eye opened and a smile rose on her face. "Good morning." She whispered. She shifted her body and you saw the tiniest hint of what you both did last night.

"Cold my dragoness?" You whispered as you pulled the furs over her a little more, before pulling her up against your body. "I can warm you if you wish?"

The smile on her face turned to laughter. "I don't think you can warm a dragoness, my dear… we are known for our heat."

"I think we can put that to the test, can't we?" You grinned as you began to feel her body with your hands.

Then the door opened and Maester Coleman walked into the Room. "Forgive the interruption of my lord, my lady." He bowed his head in a sign of respect and apology. "A Missive from Lord Tully has arrived, requesting that you read immediately-"

"Maester Coleman… My wife and I are conducting matters of state." You stated. "I hope that this can wait for a little while."

Maester Coleman saw your wife covering herself in the furs, and your… sword was unsheathed beneath the furs. "Forgive me, my lord… we shall continue this discussion after you break your fast."

"Indeed." You replied. As the door shut, you turned back to Rhaella. "Now… Where were we?"

So this should have us mainly focusing on the Vale and keeping its Lords and Clans away from each others throats as well as expanding our retinue and available advisors which works just as well with going to recruit Marq so he can help us out.
