A letter is sent to King's Landing signed by Prince Rhaegar
CC: @Ceslas
Father,
I have just received news of the events transpiring in the northern part of Westeros and in the Stormlands. I am making with all due haste to put an end to this uprising as swiftly as any man can.
I humbly advise you and your council to strip Lord Stark and Lord Arryn of their titles as Warden of the North and Warden of the East and grant them to lords loyal to the Crown.
The man who holds these titles will have a far easier time consolidating the forces of our loyal vassals in the Riverlands and in the east, and it serves us little good to have the offices filled by men who are currently engaged in open rebellion. My humble suggestion would be to offer the title of Warden of the North either to Lord Frey or Lord Darry.
The office of Warden of the East could be offered to Lord Connington, who is currently marshaling our forces in the Stormlands as I write this letter. His appointment would potentially make it easier for him to consolidate our forces against Robert in his own Kingdom.
As always, I stand ready to serve our noble and ancient House. The Dragon has survived for nigh 300 years. It shall not perish to a band of rebels.
Your humble servant and loving son,
Rhaegar Targaryen

I thought you were dead. Where is the she-wolf?
You thought I was dead? Then pray tell, why did you order Lord Stark's execution? I heard it was for threatening my life, no?
Lyanna Stark is with me, though she had to be left behind so I can travel north to deal with the rebellion.

He was and you were gone for a disturbingly long period of time with your new mistress. I wondered if your horse might have thrown you or you had suffered some other accident.
OOC: Read, he really wished that had happened.
Thank the Seven, I am not. She is not my mistress either father. Elia can tell you all about what happened. She knew she could have no more children and as you know from my correspondence with Maester Aemon, the Dragon must have three heads.
I make for King's Landing. I've sent ravens of my own calling our banners but I trust the Lords of the Crownlands are mustering their forces?
OOC: At this point, Rhaegar hates his father about as much as he does him, so the feeling is mutual. This would be a lot easier if Aerys slipped on the Iron Throne.

Tempting, tempting, but as I recall I just married my son Merett to Mariya Darry. What is to become of them?
OOC: Aerys has hated Rhaegar ever since a witch prophesied if he had a son with Rhaella then he would with either be or be the forebear of the Prince that Was Promised. So he would maintain he hates Rhaegar more, having hated him before he was born.

From: Rhaegar Targaryen
To: Lords Stark, Arryn, and Tully
As you all know, I have been away from court for some time. In that time, it appears all of Westeros has gone to Seven Hells.
If you proceed with calling your banners, I promise you it will be slaughter for everyone, slaughter for tens of thousands of good men, women, and children. I beg of each of you in the name of all that is right and decent, call off your banners. No more innocent people have to die.
It is all that is left unsaid upon which tragedies are built. There is much that is left unsaid and much that must be discussed for the present and the generation which will follow us. Let our words do the talking, not our swords.
OOC: I can't allow myself to not at least try to solve this diplomatically.

That they do. Do you intend to lead them into the field yourself?
Well Lord Walder, no evil will come to your son Merett and his wife Darry, as to the other Darrys .... well after the war the Wall will need men and I'm sure that the current Lord Darry would be a great addition there, I can try to get your son to stay with the Darrys castle after the war if you want my Lord, but .... only if you accept my marriage proposal and join the war against the Mad King after the war ends and someone ... more suited to be seated on the Iron Throne, I will do my best to pass the castle of the Darrys to your son Merett, so that sounds like a good deal to you Lord Walder ?.

My grievance is not with you, and i do not wish to make one with you. So i ask that you strike your banners and bend the knee to me.
I don't want to have to kill fellow Stormlanders, not for when we can be killing Targaryens.
What say you, fellow Stormlander?
---------------------------------
Lords of the seven kingdoms,
My betrothed has been kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen, his mad father has burned her father and brother for the crime of asking her to be returned.
I cannot abide this.
I have raised my banners in the face of this insult, as have the Starks, Tullys and Arryns. For they know that we cannot let this disgusting dynasty sit upon the Throne any longer.
I ask of you, can you abide this Mad King? who would burn you alive with wildfire at the slightest excuse? Or the supposed 'perfect prince' who kidnaps and rapes whatever women takes his fancy no matter their house? or who they are promised to?
I ask you, lords of westeros to join me in this.
To join me in seeing the return of my betrothed.
To join me in ending this disgusting dynasty of mad, insane, sister-fuckers.
To join me for my cause is just, and righteous in the eyes of the Gods.
For though i would do this alone if i had to, i would rather have you at my side.

I can tell you're not a fan...and I can't blame you. If those accusations were true, I'd hate myself just as much as you do.
But they aren't. I won't bother with a lengthy letter filled with explanations that you'll just ignore but suffice to say, nothing that you've said it true...aside from the tragic fate which befell Lord Stark and his son, which was not of my doing whatsoever. I know nothing I can say will sooth your wounded pride so I offer you your chance to seek the fictitious revenge you yearn so much for. If you want to settle this personally, I offer you a Trial by Seven, as in the days of old.
Me and my Kingsguard (minus a man), verses you and six other men of your choosing who are willing to stand by you. The location can be a neutral ground acceptable to both parties, with as many Maesters and Septons as either side needs to oversee the affair.

I do not want to face your cronies Rhaegar I want to fight you.
Rhaegar Targaryen I challenge you to a trial by combat. No pretty white cloaks for you to hide behind and no other men to kill you before me.
If you aren't too craven to accept this, then we shall meet at Harrenhal.
You heard my terms. Will your men fight for you and your commanders if they hear you weren't willing to fight for them?
I have no quarrel with you and yet I'm giving you an opportunity to settle whatever imaginary score you have with me. Take it or leave it.
I think you'll need to worry about that with your own men, your grace.

A Raven is sent to wherever Rhaegar was last known, with the falcon of the Arryns stamped upon it.
Your grace, you overestimate. Not all of Westeros, not even half, has gone to Seven Hells, only one man, who I pray to the Seven hasn't burned this letter before it reaches your hands. You know who.
I share none of Lord Baratheon's hatred towards you, but having known him personally, Robert shares little blame in this matter. We have laws, and rules, and the last time one tried to defy the laws of gods and men, dragons danced. He may never forgive you for what you have done, but that does not mean the rest of Westeros lacks in forgiveness.
However, while the lords of Westeros may forgive you, Prince, your father remains the keep issue. While my heart goes out to Ned and Robert, who have lost a sister and a wife to your actions, I had my grandsire burned alive, at your father's behest, while Ned lost his own father, and his brother. Now if you expect me to ignore the murder of my family by blood, and my family by life, your grace is perhaps as foolish as the Mad King, who does not deserve the dignity of a name.
I hold you as the cause for the pain of my family, but the Seven made Humans weak for a reason, the Septans would have me believe. I may not be pious, but my time with Ned and Robert has clearly shown me that youth can make mistakes, and while this is grievous, and deserves punishment, setting afire half of Westeros is not my desire. The Mad King is old enough to show restrain, yet him of all people has committed terrors I, and no doubt yourself, tremble to read about.
So your grace, let there not be war. There are codes against a son ousting his father, that is true, but if you truly believe the Mad King is the father that reared you, then perhaps we must lock you up as well, before our sons come for justice, and receive only fire.
Prince Rhaegar, the blood spilt already is solely on your hands. Don't let your mistakes ruin the realm.
-Jon Arryn, Lord Paramount of the Vale, Lord of the Eyre, and Warden of the East

Had no clue where Rhaegar was at this point.
Speak plainly Lord Arryn. What would you have me do? If you have a grievance you think I can help settle, bring it before me and I will do what I can to rectify it.
Robert Baratheon is not a happy man.
His betrothed, his lovely Lyanna had been kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen.
The crown fucking prince.
He took his Lyanna, doing God's knows what to her.
And so he has called his banners and sent out letters to as many Lords as he could.
It seemed the Dragonspawn managed to get his hands on one of Roberts letters.
A trial by seven was his answer, for his 'fictitious revenge' in order to soothe Roberts wounded pride.
This made Robert even less happy.
'fictitious revenge'
As if Lyanna went with him willingly!
Oh how Robert was tempted to accept. The chance to get in front of that fucking cunt and plant his hammer firmly in his chest.
But no matter how consumed by fury he was Robert was not stupid.
The men Rhaegar would have taken with him were some of the best fighters in the seven kingdoms. He would have killed some of them before he fell.
But fall he would, if he accepted.
Without saving Lyanna, without killing Rhaegar.
So he sent back a counter offer.
One that would ensure no interruptions.
But raping bastard was too craven to face him one on one.
And Robert was too aware of how a trial by seven would end.
And so his revenge has been delayed, and the men still march.
But Robert Baratheon would have his revenge and his beloved Lyanna returned to him, safe and well.
Many more men would die before this could become a possibility again.
