Never said it wouldn't happen. Just that they would be very capable of keeping their gods and feeding themselves.

The traditional method the Andals use is intermarriage among the nobility: look at Ned and Cat. A man generally tries to keep his wife happy, so he'll let her keep her old gods, and naturally her children will have at least some exposure to it. Give it a few generations, and you have the Royces.

A New Vale: The Good Child

    • A New Vale: The Good Child:

    You smiled as you held Aemma in your arms, it was a quiet evening, and you looked out across the hills and mountians.

    "Papa." She said quietly. "Prwety."

    You smiled. "Of course it is my dear. It is."

    The past several months was quite a ride, and it was very much a good time. The Vale, for the first time in centuries, was at a true era of peace, with the mountain clans at least for now… no longer causing any problems.

    Of course, it would take centuries for the rift to heal. For the mountain and the Vale to heal.

    But for now, What you could do is enough.

    Why are these here when in the previous update it was stated they wouldn't appear until we got a low region report.

    A New Vale: Keeping the Peace

    -[X]Keeping The Peace (Mountain Clans): You will ride, to make sure that the Clans are not continuing their mischief. Reward:1D100 => 77+50=127
    -[X]Keeping the Peace (The Vale Lord's: You will Ride, and make sure your lord's understand that your orders were absolute. Reward:1D100 => 70+50=120

    You rode to several clans that lived close to Vale Lord's, those who felt slighted by the current peace that had now descended upon the Vale itself by your decree.

    They were cowed as you rode into the land of dispute, and made your displeasure clear.

    Lord Finger was not happy that half his lands belonged to the Fishers, but was very… persuaded by the number of men you promised to defend his lands, and the amount of Fish the Fishers had to pay him to use his waters.

    The Clansmen were angered, but since their wishes and protests were acknowledged and fixed by you, they were happier, and not willing to cause a ruckus.

    It was the same for almost every other lord and clan you went to. The Lord got paid in goods, or in a few cases, mining rights in the mountains, the clans gained lands for trade, food or living spaces.

    The maps would need to be redrawn… but soon the land of the Vale would have some semblance of peace.

    For how long is anyone's guess.

    Reward: Peace is maintained in the Vale. Due to rolling so well, only a Region report roll of lower than 40, will make this action appear again.

    Getting an update from our council, or our father's council really should be prioritized as they may be aware of things we're not or allow us to better prioritize our actions. This is moderately important if we're to also to the Bow Dispute. Winter is coming and it's important we get food to survive the times, war is not expected for the shortterm but getting the census and stockpiling weapons done will allow us to better prioritize our actions and prepare for the unexpected future.

    Handling Aerys is extremely important and possibly getting his to name our heir a Prince should be a happy bonus if we can manage it. Further to that we need a son, our position is not secured until we have at least two. Knowing our own home is a checkmark action.

    I think this action should be removed for a notable reason.
    []Patrol the Eastern Road: You shall gather the knights of the Vale, and patrol the Eastern Road, to protect it from Mountain Clan raids, and bandits, and other vagabonds.
