I don't see the need to do both when it would dillute the effect of the other stuff we are doing. Our training mostly focuses on fighting experience at this point and we can get that by joining tourneys just as well as if we challenge people on training yards in keeps.
To be clear the option to train will still be there if you don't pick either option you're just not preparing for how you're going to train before hand.
Fine. I added it since I already can see that this will be consistent point of contention.
Must have.
The wise move.
We likely shouldn't take Viserys if we aren't taking Johanna. Him missing the birth of his child would be too big of a slight. As for whether or not he comes, well, to be frank, It might be a very good idea to get him away from the Iron throne for a time and possibly in the care of a more accomplished healer than the grand maester, who by everything I've seen and read is something of a Buffoon when it comes to healing.
If we leave behind Syrax could we include a write in to have her leave behind hers? If not her mother would probably be better.
Seems good.
I'm leaning in favor of this so we can get Viserys away from the Iron throne and his shit excuse for a healer.
Pretty big since you'll be lacking a major alliance, lack heirs who are firmly loyal to you, and have many wondering why bother with her if Johanna's kid will inherit anyways
Why are you including Kingslanding? We live there. This is a tour of the rest of the realm. Utter fallacy.
We should be in the Riverlands or Vale when the baby comes.
This is just the start / end marker of the journey.
I think we should delay until turn 10 and bring Viserys and Johanna. Viserys's health might improve under a different Maester and getting him away from the bloody throne of swords that idiot Aegon made can only help, but we shouldn't separate him from his pregnant wife.
I would like to point out that going on a tourney with the plan of being anointed as a knight would be useless without the only two people in the realm who can anoint Rhanyra, namely King Viserys and Ser Harold Westerling...
Do you really think that this is how things will go? Those duel partners are more likely to think that losing against a girl is emaculating that they are more likely to turn on us
No it's not vital to make it happen, more dramatic for sure, but there's nothing stopping you from using a suitable victory to put pressure on your father to knight you once you return to the capital.
I severely doubt we would be making friends with anyone who has issues with our sword fighting being better than theirs.
