Twin Girls! very nice. Hi Aelora we're gonna have panicked prophecy brain abt you hope thats okay!

Onto the Dream I think so genuinely that Dorne war would be the mosfun option, and trcks with the incredibleinfluence Tarly has on us. and wins us a lot of allies. We pull haalf the rach and most of the Stormlnds if we're seen as the Conquerorof Dorne or the Vehicle by which they can conquer it. Its a blck mark on our fmily name and we should work to rectify it. I do know tha that might be a bit much for thread so I thik the Exemplar could be fun. it pulls us in a direction I think wouldbe fun and really like, reinforces a reallynice duality with Daemon, the Drgon Knight vs the Rouge Prince on tourney grounds is the shit songs are written of, andduring the dance? its a strong like, vision.

Congrats to Taly for pointing out who controls the dragons with rhaenys! hes right! she wouldt let him use the dragons for stepstones and if she wanted, shed push her claim now.

I mean, the thing is - if we look at our character sheet, we have some generalized Learning... and apart from that we have put everything on muscles.

At the moment, we are a glorified club bouncer. Even a Warrior Queen needs to learn strategy, at least! I have no problem with staying on the warrior path (though "Rhaenyra the Lawgiver" also has a nice ring to it), but we can make it our aim to get a grasp on strategy to rival Aegon the Conqueror.

Maybe this would also prevent us from fucking up in Dorne for a second time.
I mean, theres no reason we cant take prowess stuff and pick up warfre,and taking conquering dorne would make us more serious abt the strategy and give us a focus on our learnig :p
 
why...would we do either half-heartedly? we've been powess maxxing prettyeffectively, and I really dont think picking up two skills (warfare and Law) with 3+2 free actions potentially would be, very difficult at all? specilly when we are surrounded by very capable tutors in both regards
 
I should note I originally had an idea for a Dream that was "Build a cadre of allies" basically Rhaenyra forming her own mini council of friends and advisors before becoming queen. But it felt much more mundane than any of the other goals. Like it's not really something that feels like Rhaenyra would aspire to, more like a goal she would make on the way to actual goals.
 
I'm pretty certain that I don't want Rhaenyra to get tunnel visioned into Prowess even harder when she's aiming to be a dragonriding queen - someone who needs to win allies and rule competently, and with her greatest weapon being a dragon. It was really awesome to prove ourselves to the Realm, to get knighted and even earn the family blade of Valyrian steel, and I'm sure that knighthood will continue to pose challenges of both the martial and the social kind, but we don't need to aim higher than where we are now.

In other words, I'd choose to spend an action every other turn on riding Syrax or learning law over more Prowess training in a heartbeat.
 
I think I'm going to pick the skill mastering as well. We don't have enough braincells right now.
 
It's honestly really sad that Rhaenyra just, can't bring herself to view her half siblings as actually being part of her family. It's understandable given how much stress she's had over a potential brother, but still a shame. Maybe we can help her get past that a bit if we want to put the effort in, but I dunno how committed we can be to that.

Here is a whole bunch of spelling corrections.

Twin Girls! very nice. Hi Aelora, we're gonna have panicked prophecy about you, hope that's okay!

Onto the Dream, I think so genuinely that Dorne war would be the most fun option, and tracks with the incredible influence Tarly has on us and it wins us a lot of allies. We will pull half the Reach and most of the Stormlnds if we're seen as the Conqueror of Dorne or the Vehicle by which they can conquer it. Its a black mark on our family name and we should work to rectify it. I do know that it might be a bit much for thread so I think the Exemplar could be fun. it pulls us in a direction I think would be fun and really like, reinforces a really nice duality with Daemon, the Dragon Knight vs the Rogue Prince on tourney grounds is the shit songs are written of, and during the dance? its a strong like vision.

Congrats to Tarly for pointing out who controls the dragons with Rhaenys! he is right! she wouldn't let him use the dragons for stepstones and if she wanted, she'd push her claim now.

------------------------------------------------

Rhaenys may truely control House Velaryon Dragons, but what if Daemon weds Laena? That would mean Daemon has at least two dragons including Vhagar. Additionally, Rhaenys fought for the Blacks during the Dance despite claims that Daemon and Rhaenyra had Laenor (her only son) assassinated.

Just marry Gwayne, secures the hightowers, and makes the side bae easy to access.
The question is whether we need to secure the Hightowers, or if chances are our friendly relations to Gwayne and Alicent, and Otto's animosity towards Daemon, means they'd support us anyway.

Though I suppose Gwayne, son of a second son, would have the advantage of not entangling succession lines (unlike Harwin or Laenor) and would probably respect us as the head of the household.
 
excuse you, she's our main bae 😤 the husband is just an obligation

Ngl, I could easily see that. If Viserys's words about making enemies where she could have had allies hit her hard, and she thought of what it would mean to become a queen when most of her subjects don't believe she should be on the throne. After all, to sit on the Small Council is also something of an important step towards future rule, so securing an actual bloc of allies and supporters for herself despite all the challenges in that could be a goal in and of itself.
 
[] [Dream] To be a Better Sister to your Siblings than Daemon has Ever Been to Viserys

I like this. It feels like a Rhaenyra thought. She will be not sink so low as Daemon and fail to be there for her sisters as he now fails to be there for Viserys in the final years of Viserys's life.

ah damn it, my keyboard has been fucked for the last week! thanks!
 
So is it possible at all to have a dream involving being a decent person to the girls? Could I approach it from being a protector/knight angle and them being innocent children?
If Rhaenyra had not gotten that vision or got it after the twins were born, I'd allow it. But as it is now that's basically a dream to do something that basically requires a number of stress giving actions which doesn't really make sense to me.
 
I am in favor of keeping up with the Prowess training. I want Rhaenyra to truly become the greatest fighter in the Seven Kingdoms.

Regarding the Dream:

[] To be the Greatest

This feels like a suitably fun and grand option.

Otherwise, is the option abaout making a New Valyria still locked because we didn't take the Scholar path?

Or maybe another idea:

[] Learn Sorcery like Visenya

Is this a valid option? Rhaenyra admires Visenya afteral, and might wish to learn magic like her.

And after the vision she had at Harrenhall, she might get an interest in the supernatural.

And a sorcerer like Visenya at the same time? That's not gonna work. We'll die of stress.

And I remind once again that Prowess is literally just swinging a sword. Not leading armies; that's a separate skill. We don't become "the Greatest" just on the merits of individual sword swinging, either.

First one, no that would require the ambitious trait which you guys did not pick.


Second one...hmmm, I'd say something like Explore the Higher Mysteries is allowed (Depending on phrasing) because Rhaenyra's encountered enough spooky stuff she'd want to know more about. But wanting to be a full Sorceror like Visenya is a bit weird after learning magic.

Okay, maybe becoming a Sorcerer might be the next step after learning more abaout the supernatural?

Is this okay:
