The Heir of the Dragon: A Rhaenyra Targaryen Quest
At this point I'm more interested in having a tour of Westeros, feeling that whatever happens with Viserys second marriage is going to happen and we will deal with it whatever it is.
I think we need to have some more slow paced plans, and going on a royal progress seems like the thing to do next. It might allow us to concentrate on the Knight quest before we get tied down with Council duties. It could provide a way to befriend Laena and Laenor. And it handles the current issue, which is solidifying our father as King and us as heir through the traditional Targaryen method of showing off our dragon.
After a couple years of that, we handle any foreign travels we might want to get in: Braavos and Volantis are on my list. Probably as a representative of our father, further burnishing our heir credentials.
Then in about three years or so, we shift to a focus on Kings Landing, our marriage, and joining the Small Council. Establishing our power base to secure our inheritance and deal with any issues that might develop around siblings.

Going on a year long tour right now sounds indeed like a good plan. We just need to find a reason for Alicent to come along. Can we make her our lady-in-waiting maybe?

It may be worth it to wait for a bit with the tour so we can spend a turn or two training. Depending on the time schedules we may be able to try the various tournies on our road while dressed as a mystery knight, and it'll give some excuse as to why there's suddenly a mystery knight showing up in a tournament when the princess' dragon just so happens to be in the area.

idk what our max potential is but I really really want to try nd push his knight thing as far as it can go. the singers will adore us if I have any say. going around the realm and mystery knighting would rule. but yeah we do need to find a way to bring alicent along, tho idk if we need much more excuse than shes our best friend and we're the princess

I have been brainstorming a fair bit on Royal tours and I will say preparing would definitely help. BNot a huge huge amount but the more prep the more likely you'll get the results you want and the people you want to join you. Also a full tour of the Realm, everything sans Dorne and the Iron Islands, would probably be four turns, maybe three. So keep that in mind.

Would we be able to fit going to tournies as a mystery knight while on tour?
I think we need to take a sword practice action next turn, while it will require at least one talk action to set up a royal progress, and probably multiple talk actions. So we should be able to spend some actions doing sword stuff.
Yeah, it should take some preparation. Probably some talking with... either father or Otto to get support for the idea. It's a pretty reasonable action too. A talk action with Alicent to try and get her to come along. A talk action with Laena/Laenor/Rhaenys to invite them along. Even if they don't come it's worth it to make the offer, thus continuing to signal to Corlys that we see him as a potential ally. But really, I think Corlys would love for his children to be included and thus implied to be royals.
Then four or five turns to take the tour. Should we skip the Iron Islands? I don't think we should make them a major priority, but putting in at least an appearance my be worth while. Make it clear that they should support us if it comes down to a fight, and should not cross us in peacetime.
I'm not against it, but I don't think we should absolutely commit to that yet. I want to see what the trade offs are. Maybe it will be wise to do so in the Stormlands or the North, but should refrain in the other Kingdoms:
Might also be worthwhile to do so in the Vale for different reasons.

Skipping one of the constituent kingdoms when we visit every other one would be a severe slight.

I was gonna say there's never been a royal progress to the Iron Islands but it turns out Aegon did that 3 times. So yeah, if you want to go visit the whole Realm (and you don't have to make it the full realm) then it would be four turns.
Is there any chance for us to go on a foreign tour? Would be pretty cool to check out the Free Cities.

Weren't we planning on hitting up the stepstones when that whole debacle happens? feels like it might be hard to squeeze in, also seems like it probably planning way too far ahead, we dont even know who viserys is marrying yet so a prospective post-royal tour feels like a cart before the horse

No, foreign tours are for younger siblings, you don't generally send the heir on a foreign tour. Also I don't want to write Essos all that much.
Nah, weird shit comes when we get to Harrenhal

Spit-balling two routes.
Southern Route:
This one is fairly straightforward and quick due to using sea travel repeatedly. Hits all Lord Paramount seats and doesn't spend much time on sightseeing.
Scenic Route:
This one is far more indulgent, using scenic roads and making some trips through less important areas just cause. Also includes a stop at the Wall, which while not important right now strikes me as something Rhaenyra might like to see.

We probably shouldn't delay that much. A tour of the realm would also be a chance to find a prospective husband that we like, in which case taking too long would mean Viserys breathing down our neck about marrying before we finish it. A turn is 3 months. After next turn we're fifteeen, the tour takes a year, Viserys starts pressuring us about marrying at 17, canonically, so I'd say we should already be heading on the tour no more then five turns from now, when we turn 16, so that by the time we turn 17 we'll already be done with it.
Add to that we probably should be spending some time, perhaps at least two turns preparing, then we don't actually have that much time before we need to start readying ourselves for it.

Well, IIRC the QM told us that Viserys would be extremely reluctant aboit us doing the Royal Progress for the first 1-2 years of the quest, and that was when Rhaenyra was supposed to be 16 instead of 14...
So whereas I really want to do the Royal Progress, we may have to wait at least until we are 16 before even propose the idea to Viserys...

No I said Viserys would be against a Royal Progress in the immediate future because he was in mourning.

So yeah. If a tour takes a year, and there's reason to think Viserys will be pressuring us to marry by the time we reach 17, then it seems prudent to be starting the tour no later then we reach 16. In that case we have five turns until our sixteenth birthday and less then that to start preparing.
