Damn it, why must red priest fanatics always make life more difficult I cant think of a good thing they have done
The Braavosi are some huge jerk waffles for this. They get caught stealing from the throne and now we're the thieves? There honestly can be no reconciliation with them after this. I also hope they have mass riots as they are now effectively supporting or allying with slavers, against the other major anti-slaver power on planetos.

it's bravos I don't think the people care about supporting slavery since they are fighting Valarians, also why would they tell their people the truth

No, Jahaerys wanted to take command, but he was persuaded (told) that he would not survive the rigors of campaign (which is true, the king is sickly and not as strong as his father) something that happened in canon and something Jahaerys (reluctantly) agreed to and placed him in command as a compromise.
I may have worded it wrong, but Orys was given the command of Leading the Royal Army, he did not take command from the king.
And dear old Jaherys isn't long for this world anyway. Aerys is the one who needs to earn his spurs... with all the young bloods who are joining and fighting in this war.
Including us.
Well here's the thing, It's the Iron Bank that wants Jon to be... tried in the Kangaroo court and their one of the most powerful institutions in the world, and control a very large percentage of the known worlds wealth. You can't just refuse them unless your Aegon the fifth, and then you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Basically, their butt hurt about losing some minor business (though they just are losing profits from the west, there still going to survive this war even if they lose) in Westeros and can't take out a king, so they want to take out the man who was acting representative, and the guy who stole very valuble documents from them.
Lord Jon Arryn... Dear old Dad.
The Braavosi pretend to be educated, and are definitely a more diplomatic entity than us, as well as being a place that "honours all gods" thus the average noble that knows a little about their former historical allies, would know of the Andal and first man religions being anti-slavery, an important sentiment in Braavosi culture from their founding. The mere association with slavers should bother anyone who has knowledge on Westeros.

You've already got twelve crazy basterds wanting to take over the Iron Throne, so best get it on when whatever event you choose is over.

Are the Braavosians idiots? The have no control over foreign nations, therefore Lord Jon Arryn - Lord Paramount of the Vale of Arryn, a place that given it's manpower could crush the Braavosi in actual warfare - because they've actually fought a war within like the past you know five decades at least, is a Lord Paramount of Westeros beholden to the King. The Highest Power in Westeros who makes the Laws can ask for legal counsel from any Lord he wants and Braavos can't do a thing about it, unless they've suddenly decided they're the people who make the Laws in the world and enforce them...

Hey, can you make sure to include, like, a rewording of the command deal then? I would be very confused if I hadn't read your post up above, and it's kinda important to the relations going on with the war.

Already in the process of doing that.
Meh I'm fine with the Iron Bank.being butt hurt (not really) but I just hope the rest of Braavosi doesn't fall for the obvious bs. Especially since there are probably different factions in braavos that don't always run parallel to the Iron Bank.
Ah ok. Orys was given the command. Just sounded like he just took it.
Time to show the Vale men and good old dad that we are worthy of being the heir. Our Skilled Combat, Command and scheming be helpful. Diplomacy will be very helpful to get new allies for the war and just help our men have better morale. Administration gonna help us on the campaign?

To be fair, we can't kill Braavos. Technically the beef is with the Iron Bank itself, just a part (read: massive part) of Braavos.

Heres the thing about what happened in Bravos.
The Iron Bank has suffered a loss of Face. They have lost money and several ventures in Westeros due to the North killing a few representatives, and their crimes being exposed for all of the West to see.
Since people are short-sighted when Angry, they want revenge, without going to the Faceless men because even they don't have the cash or the will to sacrafice themselves.
They are the most powerful faction in Bravos, but they are not the only faction vying for control. The Sealord has no idea what the hell they are doing due to... ehem replacing several people in his inner circle with cronies.
They are the most powerful and global reaching faction in Bravos, and the ones who can truly bring down entire nations with a few tricks, but they are not the only ones.
The Merchant guilds have lost a lot of profits and the patrician families are very very antsy about war screwing up their business.
If the sealord finds out, the Iron Bank is under new management until their house is cleaned up.

Okay, this is interesting.
The Band of Twelve have 124k fighting men, not including the 400-odd ships and other special units. Westeros commands at least 80k fighting men, this does not include the unknown number of men raised from the Crownlands and how many people from the Reach are reinforcing Dorne. We have 200 ships at our command, excluding the Royal Fleet, Redwyne fleet and the Iron Fleet.
We are at a disadvantage but will likely be fighting on home turf.
He didn't gain the title "The Bold" until after he rescued Aerys from Duskendale. Further to this the Iron Fleet, as a known and named entity didn't come into existence until after Robert's Rebellion when Balon was looking at independence.

This is just the first wave that is mobilized at this very moment that will be securing the Stepstone, and kicking some major ass.
The Crownlands got at least 50,000 men they can muster, with King's landing alone pulling up 10,000.
We'll be nearing even numbers in troops, though lacking in some special units, and have a lot more cavalry and ships when we get all grouped up and organized.
Barry gained the Bold Mokery when he was ten when he jousted Ser Duncan the Prince of Dragonflies as a mystery knight at Blackhaven.
As for the Iron Fleet: Well, its a fleet from the Iron Isles, crewed by Ironborn which is fighting under the Iron throne.
It's the nickname it has at this point in time, might as well give it it's nickname early when everyone's all together now.

Iron Fleet has been colloquially called the Iron Fleet, it just wasn't a standing thing and was more of the collection of all Iron Isles Houses ships unlike how Balon made it purely Greyjoy ships that served the Isles.

Interesting, numbers wise a bit odd considering the Reach alone could potentially muster up to 80 to 120k men and that is with them truly investing in the war.
So one way or the other the Band of 12 wont really have the numerical advantage for too long unless something epically bad happens.
Also what should be worth considering is maybe trying to get rid of the leadership of all the different armies among the 12.
Send out a few assassins whenever we can and just generaly be a nuisance to them before the fighting even starts. I know y'all have a hard on for the goody goody honorable type but let's fight smarter, not harder.
Through wherever we can pull it of or convince the king or the lords in general to go with it is another matter entirely, atleast that legendary diplo should come in handy.

That is a truly amazing amount of potential because by the War of the Five Kings the Crownlands were luck for 15k; and that's including the army in King's Landing.
That was after a summer almost two decades long. In Robert's Rebellion when everybody just got off of winter they were only fielding 30-40k.
Of course, everybody else was also doing half of their later numbers so...
