Game of Thrones: A New Dawn (OOC/Open)

Events are up!

Events-

A Merchant attempting to past through Blackwater Bay without paying his taxes to you is caught by two of your House's ships. It is clear he is a slave merchant by the fact that he has a lot of coin from the mainland Westeros he was sailing away from and by the many empty shackles in the hold of his ship. During the search of the ship however the merchant's two remaining slaves are found and it is made clear that he sells pleasure slaves overall. The two slaves are beyond beauty with a pure Valyrian one named Daenerys, and a mixed race Valyrian named Argella. When questioned about the two the merchant bemoans that his usual customers (some of the seedier lords in Westeros) refused to pay for the two girls.

He goes on to explain that the two are a "Package Deal" with Daenerys aged ten and six and Argella aged ten and eight with them both costing a hefty 10,000 Gold Pieces. When asked why they cost so much the Merchant replies that they are both of House Belarion (though by what relation whether it be as servants or actual family members he does not say), one of the former 40 Valyrian families that ruled over Valyria and well known for their architectural prowess even amongst Valyrians. In addition both were trained in Lys as Pleasure Slaves after the Doom while maintaining their maidenheads. The Merchant offers to sell them at the reduced price of 5,000 Gold Pieces as a form of his paying taxes. A few options are immediately available and in mind. You can pay him his fee and buy the slaves, force the merchant to give up his two slaves without payment as a form of him paying taxes, ignore the slaves and take his gold he already has for taxes, take his gold and slaves for punishment and taxes, or kill him and seize his slaves, gold, crew, and ship for refusing to pay taxes.

A man arrested in Gulltown for attempting to smuggle slaves through the Vale is brought before your King for judgement. The man is clearly Valyrian and he reveals himself to be a former Valyrian Knight who survived the Doom by being in the Freehold at the time. Vivor Nohlaeris is a poor man with only his plate armor and his Valyrian Steel Sword "Bloodletter" to his name now, forcing him to resort to seedier ways of making a living. Understanding he can be executed for his crime Vivor swears to serve your King loyally if his life is spared. Two options are immediately available in mind, execute Vivor and take his sword for your family or accept Vivor's offer and enroll him as a knight in your service.

Ulcrax is dead, the dragons died suddenly and mysteriously. And with Ulcrax's passing comes another problem. Balerion is deathly ill, what ails him is unknown but some whisper it is the wrath of the Gods. Balerion is unable to move even to eat or drink and his scales have dulled and appear to be undergoing a process of becoming translucent. A few options seem available. Sacrifice Balerion to appease the Gods and spare the other three dragons, preform another ritual to the Gods to attempt to spare Balerion's life, or see if Balerion overcomes his illness on his own.

A lost Braavosi Gold Barge was captured by several longships belonging to your House and a few of your Bannermen. The gold is enough to "buy half a kingdom" as your men say. A few options come to mind immediately. A) Take all the Gold for yourself, making your House the 4th richest House behind the Lannisters, Garderners, and Martells. But at the same time causing discontent with the Bannermen who helped capture the barge. B) Split the Gold with your Bannermen, doesn't boost your wealth too much but it certainly keeps your Bannermen loyal and gives them the ability to field better equipped conscripts if war occurs. C) Give the Barge back to the Iron Bank of Braavos as should the bank discover who stole this barge they would surely look to punish those who stole their hold.

A khalasar of Dothraki was located encroaching on your Southern Lands, throughout the past these tribals have been little more than annoyances however this time the size of this tribe has some of your Southern Lords worried and they petition you to act quickly to destroy this roving band, however to do so may draw other Dothraki to your lands in search of blood for blood. A few options are available, let your Lords handle it themselves to keep your hands clean, kill and enslave the horde with your own forces to appease your lords, or let the Khalasar pass through to avoid conflict.

A noble of House Frey guesting at Seaguard has been loud in his opinions about House Durrandon at several local taverns he's visited. All such opinions seem to be rather negative and while this doesn't truly concern your House the Nobleman's suggestion that House Mallister rise up once again and claim the title of Kings of the Riverlands does. If such words are not silenced quickly then House Durrandon may hear of them and use them to blame your House for conspiracy to commit treason. Actions that come to mind are: A) Have the man's tongue cut out for speaking ill of his King to keep the Durrandons pleased, B) Imprison him and interrogate him to find out why he has let his tongue be so mischievous, or C) Allow him to continue speaking as an act of defiance against House Durrandon.

War is being called for by many of your Lords in the South, they claim that it is time to take on the Reach with the Stormkings distracted by the growing tensions in Dorne. Will you silence these calls, heed them and go to war, or try to find a middle ground?

With the rebellion in its infancy it is very much vulnerable to being crushed by the Starks. Great care must be taken to avoid this, especially considering that House Stark has 25,000 men to counter your 15,000. However at the same time you cannot be too cautious or your bannermen may abandon you due to inaction. Currently the Stark Host is still gathering at Winterfell while yours is almost complete. Now may be a good time to seek extra allies such as the Dragonlords in Blackwater Bay or the ferocious Ironborn of the Iron Isles, or perhaps it is time to strike while the iron is hot, after all many vassals of the Starks have left their castles undefended while they march their conscripts to Winterfell.

House Wyl has been accused by multiple Stormlands Marcher Lords of sending soldiers across the border to raid the Dornish Marches. Despite lacking solid evidence they demand that they receive recompense for their losses or they will march on Wyl and raze it. This would mean war with the Stormkings who hold one of the largest swarths of territory in Westeros. A few options are available A) Compensate the Marcher Lords, expensive but it'll avoid war, B) Reinforce Wyl and refuse to pay the Marcher Lords, hopefully calling their bluff, or C) Truly call their bluff and leave Wyl open while not paying.

Your Lords are clamoring for war with Dorne. They claim the Dornish Marches are being raided by soldiers from Dornish Houses and demand action. However if your army marches south it could leave the Riverlands in the North open to attack. But if you do nothing then perhaps your lords will act without you.

Your spies in the Westerlands are sending back whispers of a growing desire of Lords in the Westerlands to go to war with the Reach. Two options are immediately apparent, call the Banners and prepare for war or wait for more solid evidence from your spies.

Denied. 15,000 Levies is way too much, you should be closer to 1,000-2,000 and the trained soldiers would be somewhere around 200 not 2,000. Also no way am I giving you the lands of multiple different Houses for a custom house which btw would have been given its territory by House Stark, not Bolton. Finally your House seems all Mary Sue, no flaws whatsoever, they're "honorable but not too honorable", they're rich, they're progressive in terms of women...far more than anyone else I might add which makes little sense, etc. You have to rework this entire thing man.

I think, seeing as he controls a fairly large city like White Harbour, he should have closer to 3,000-4,000 men.

No you can't have Oldcastle, that's the seat of House Locke! And if you aren't doing a custom house than you need to be House Manderly since they were given white harbor and the wolf's den 900 years before this rp takes place.

Ok, but can I be a "Custom house" with the Ashwoods taking over from the Wymans from some sort of event? I can change the history, then I'll edit the military and resubmit.

I'm late as usual. Someone give me a vague rundown of events so far and then I'll decide what to do.

[Slakonian]

I was thinking creating a "custom" exiled house. Instead of the Manderlys the Tarlys were exiled a long time ago to the Riverlands and the Blackwoods took them to their care and married them to house mooton who had only one female member in exchanging change their religion to the old gods and swear fealty to them. Not they are vassals to the Durrandonds..... so many option here

History of House:
Ashwood is a old house, with its ownership of Whiteharbor and oldcastle spanning several centuries. Nobody really knows how the ashwoods came into existence, the history books only tell us that one house either Stark or Bolton awarded Ashwood White Harbor The previous house, Wyman was destroyed after the only heir was killed in some forgotten battle, and Ashwood was awarded White harbor and all its bannermen, which stretch through the eastcoast
Culture, Customs, and Skills of House:
The ashwoods are renowned ship builders and traders, and its people are the best at ship building. They are great at money keeping, collecting and using. Many of them are honourable, and some not so. They worship the old gods, and the gods wood is one of the biggest in the north. Women aren't as looked down on as in other parts of the world, and some have jobs even in ship building. However, the house is renowned for its extremely harsh laws and regulations, with severe punishments for most crimes, where anything violent from Murder to Rape will get you executed. The wolfs den jails are full of criminals, and House Ashwood has a major problem with lack of space for criminals and tough laws. Many of the people hate them for these rules, as the harshness is known throughout the region. (Note any person may avoid these punishments by taking the black)

[Pirimus]

Name of House: House Raelnos

House Banner: A Three Headed Dragon on a Black Field, with an axe embedded in it's second head.

General Description of House: Boqorron the Bull had been a slave in Mantarys until the Doom came, both freeing him, and leaving him a refugee with naught but the monstrous strength granted to him by the pit, his wits, and an axe. It is said, then, that he gathered the other pit slaves and slaughtered their master, taking his riches and entiering his Dragon Pit. None know truly what happened next, none but Boqorron and Ashheart, the Dragon he pulled from the pit. It is believed that he managed to subdue the chained and relatively young Dragon, managing to mount it and fly it out from it's pit. As ash filled the sky, he fled with his small vanguard of pit slaves and fighters, carrying some of the riches of Valyria, gold, jewels and a Greataxe of spell-woven steel. They fled from Mantarys,northeast into the remnants of Ghis, Ashheart slowly growing with his newly given freedom and food. The small mob soon grew into a small army, gathering up slaves recently ''Freed'' by the Doom.

Boqorron found himself at the gates of Meereen after the passing of a few months, the city open and relatively unguarded, it's military drawn out across it's entire territory, forced to hold on to their land from encroaching powers newly given Freedom. The army marched toward Meereen, Boqorron atop Ashheart in flight overhead, they assaulted the City as soon as conditions would allow, burning in through the gate and taking a mere moment to mop up the enemy before running to the armories, grabbing what could be found, and turning around to man the walls against the groups of soldiers returning from the surrounding area.

That would sum up the next few months, holding Meereen against outside invaders, intimidating the remains of said invaders into serving their city once more, but this time getting pay, rather than chains. The slave armies of Meereen turned coat slowly, over time, fleeing from their masters to join the Army defending their City. Boqorron has established control over the city, allowing slavery for domestic matters, but offering any slave the oppurtunity to join the military voluntarily, if they happened to be trained enough to fight.

The house rules Meereen, Boqorron possesing the largest cohesive military in the surrounding area, and one of the few Dragons brought east over west. His strength ensures that he remains in control, and the enemies amassing on the borders cannot easily spook his people from under him.


Head of House: Boqorron The Bull , 36 years old. He stands at a height above seven feet, almost always clad in heavy, thick armour that lesser men would be scarcely able to move within. He wields the massive Valyrian greataxe wielded by one of his master's ancestors, formed of clean steel upon a massive, reinforced wooden haft. His figure and form are massive, his face a rugged and almost bear like thing with little beauty in it. He is often said to be cruel, but that is not so, instead, he is brutally pragmatic. He will not slaughter a man from boredom, but will not hesistate in beating a thief to death with whatever happened to be near by. He is rarely conversational, and incredibly uneducated, though not stupid by any means. He knows to take counsel when it is offered by a man who knows more than him, and he is in the process of learning to read, though he is reluctant to admit this, and few are aware of it. He rules Meereen with relative benevolence, enough to keep the people happy, but not quite enough to allow the masters to think him weak. He must remain strong, Yunkai and Astapor loom, their armies mighty and ready.

Notable Figures of House: Ashheart, The Dragon of Boqorron, a black, ashen thing, with teeth bright like steel and eyes of dark orange, similar to embers. It's fire is a dark red, verging on blue when concentrated, able to melt flesh and leather with ease, though steel takes a few moments of concentration. Ashheart can eat an entire pig in one mouthful at a stretch, and can carry Boqorron in plate armour for a fair while in flight. Ashheart has a demeanour similar to his master, ruthless but rather genial to those few that have the nerve to approach him asides Boqorron.

History of House: Boqorron escaped his pit during the doom, running through the streets to the sound of breaking chains as the sky burned. He ammassed a following of terrified slaves and pit fighters, leading them from the ruins of the city and out into the world, along the Demon Road, gathering up refugees as they went. They stole from the fleeing people of Valyria, looting caravans and small settlements to sustain themselves in the Journey toward the remains of Ghis, hoping to find a home in Slavers bay, or to die in battle against a fine enough opponents to dignify their death.

Boqorron's aim was to take one of the former cities of the Freehold for his own, Astapor or Meereen if at all possible, taking advantage of the political vacuum left by the Doom. Meereen and Astapor had considered themselves among the heartlands of the Freehold just days before, but now, they were on their own in the world, their armies sent off as levies or swept away by the great waves cast from the ruins of Valyria. Boqorron had hoped this would be enough to allow him to begin conquering at least one of them before they could adjust to the new world. If Astapor were taken, the Unsullied warriors would be at his beck and call, but he would have to fight to have them. Meereen would grant him a glorious stronghold, The closest major city to Valyria, asides Volantis. Thousands of refugees would be pouring in, and that meant many, many new slaves to be bought and sold. Meereen's armies would swell quickly, so Boqorron had only a short time to strike.

And so he did. He marched the army toward Meereen and took cover in the area around the city. The cities gates were open, waiting to collect refugees, it's military scattered like jacks across their land, struggling to maintain order. The Garrison itself noticed moments too late that the army was attacking and sealed the gate just in time to stop the enemy. Ashheart was set in front of the gate, and began to breath flame upon the gate, turning it to mere embers in a few, horrifyingly tense moments. Once the gates fell, the Dragon was flown above the great walls and landed atop the Pyramid, Boqorron left to fight at the gate, leading his vanguard through the few slave soldiers the city could muster, marching through the streets for a short moment, reaffirming their control of the city. Boqorron took the great Pyramid for himself, Ashheart constructing his nest within the top area, sleeping across from Boqorron, flying out to hunt and harass any soldiers of Meereen that had decided it better to try to retake the city, rather than surrender.

Boqorron took residence as King of Meereen, being crowned by the temple of the Graces in exchange for a promise of protection and conversion. He converted to the worship of the Harpy without so much as a thought, insisting his coronation take place during a Gladiatorial battle. He began to plan his battle, taking the best fighters each noble house could offer, saying they would fight against one another in the pit, and he would give a great honour to the Victor.

He began to refortify the city, recruiting and training militia, paid militia, not slaves, offering to recruit any slaves who had the training. The slaves taken from each noble familly were trained and made to go against the slavers, and then assigned to Guard the men that had beaten them all their lives. It proved an effective strategy to keep the nobles in line. A city of complacent old men can scarcely defend themselves when their defenders have been freed and have tasted the fruits they had been denied.

Boqorron now sits atop his great Pyramid, sharpenning his axe and looking out across his city. The people had taken his arrival rather well, but it was to be expected. Boqorron wouldn't enslave them, he didn't need to, there were plenty of Valyrian refugees for that. He had promised to continue Gladiatorial games, and had kept his promise, he had even cut taxes for a short while as the slaves taken from refugees brought in a large influx of income. His city was happy, the nobles sat with their own defenders holding blades to their throats.

Culture, Customs, and Skills of House: House Raelnos functions based around the fact that Boqorron is the strongest, and has been affirmed as king by the Graces. He rules by keeping the population happy and the nobility cowed. His army is the largest in the Region, and his city is the largest too. Yunkai and Astapor are the only large threats remaining, and so he remains ruler, as his position is one that could hold off the Astaporii and Yunkai'i. Honour exists in a fragmented manner, keeping poisons as disfavourable and cowardly. Assasination is frowned upon, if a man should die, he should die with a weapon in his hand. Fighting is noble, and victorious fighters are revered. Gladiatorial games are popular, and slavery is accepted as normal, though military slaves are almost all freed to fight for their lord in defense of their home. The Meereenese are still rather spooked by the ash on the wind, and are undergoing something of a cultural revolution, as the Freehold has now truly fallen, but they haven't had their own culture in centuries.

Many wish to rebuilt Ghis, others wish to build something new from what could be salvaged of northern Valyria and Slaver's bay.

Name of House: House Sorryl
House Banner: A gray skull, on a black and purple field
General Description of House: House Sorryl is one of the oldest families of Braavos, among the original escapees, with an illustrious past. One of the Keyholder families of the Iron Bank, and allegedly from their family the worship of the Faceless god began, they had assisted in the creation of the House of Black and White. Now one of the mot powerful families of Braavos and Essos, House Srryl now holds the Sealordship assuring its many titles and honors a great deal of respect
Head of House: Sealord Garran Sorryl, a man of fifty and four, called 'the Titan' was the second born son of three sons from old Patriarch Sorryl, Garran was taught mercantile and trading, but also became involved in water dancing although is high status. When he came of age, Garran abandoned his family and trading to become a bravo, and for near five years he lived the life of a lower class man, battling other bravos for courtesans and pretty women, and for honors sake, During this time, Garran came to love a courtesan in training, whose name was Voreah, they spent a whole year courting before a tragedy occurred, His father and eldest son and heir, died in a storm while overseeing thier merchant fleet. Leaving what was left of the family and its wealth in the until recently exiled second son. After years of tempering and hard work, Garran rebuilt his families strength, and soon after at the age of forty and nine was elected sealord, where he remains now, five years later. Garran is of a medium build and even in his old age, muscular and greatly built. After his time as a Bravo, Garran had become quite clever and became more so as a business man, leaving him now a hard-working, patient, and ambitious man, with a wit and courage to face most situations. Still a man of valor and honor to his vassals and citizens, he shows little mercy to those who do not follow through with promises and debts, and still a very capable fighter with his water dancing.
Notable Figures of House:
Lady Voreah 'the White Tide' a kind an gentle woman of fifty, previously a courtesan, she is now the husband of the Sealord, whom had bore him four children. Voreah was Valyrian in ethnicity, and obviously an exceptionally handsome woman to be a courtesan. She can be the very voice of reason and support her loving husband needs when in tough times.

Marono Sorryl, of the age twenty and one, the dashing eldest son of the Sealord, and heir to the family, was trained by the best to be a skilled fighter, speaker, leader, and trader. And has shown as much, however the young lad has a problem with women....he can't keep his hands off them, and is known in Braavos to frequent whore houses and courtesans and most likely have born several bastards. Marono stands taller than his father with wide shoulders and an athletic build, with black hair of his father and purple eyes of his mother, he is tanned from his adventures sailing and visiting other cities..

Irran Sorryl, of age eight and ten, the twin of the beauty, Lady Leah, is as dashing and clever as his sister. But not as strong as his older brother. Irran devoted himself to checking and balancings, books and scholarly pursuits, and is moderately obsessed with the Valyrian Culture. He is slimmer build and slightly shorter than his brother. Black hair and purple eyes

Leah Sorryl. eight and ten, the beautiful daughter of the Sealord, Leah, is both beautiful and ambitious, using her servants, bravos that admire her, and courters to gain her access to all the secrets of Braavos, her little spy network has expanded so far, that her father often has her assistance with his own business network. Leah, still a virgin enjoys the company of men and women equally. Long black hair, pale soft, skin, and purple eyes, a princess in her own right.

Adar Sorryl, six and ten, now a man fully grown,the youngest Sorryl like they have for generations joined the house of black and white to become a faceless man, and has begun his journey to become no one, he looks the closest to his father of any of the Sorryl children

Uncle Sorryl, the younger brother of Garran, Uncle Sorryl is a faceless man and thus often never takes the identity of what once was his true self, and continues his silent work for the faceless god.

History of House:House Sorryl was founded by Sorryl, a slave of Valyria whom like many others escaped their fate and found the foggy lagoon where Braavos was to be formed. Sorryl and his children who adopted his name as their last name became Merchants, using fake charts and identification as they traded around essos and westeros, Sorryl's son, was on of the sixteen men who founded the Iron Bank, and thus thier family was a key-holder and now have a permanent spot on the council meetings. Later on, an unnamed (of course) Sorryl is claimed to have founded the House of Black and White, and the discovery that all the Death gods are but one faceless god. House Sorryl since its founding remained a dominant merchant and noble family of Braavos, and several Sealords have been Sorryl in thier long history.

Culture, Customs, and Skills of House: Being Braavosi, They are avid traders and bankers, whom hold no slaves all across the world, they are also renowned worldwide for their beautiful courtesans and skilled water dancers, thier own different way of fighting, poorer folk dress in bright flamboyant colors and clothes, while the nobility wear dark grays, purples, and blues. The anniversary of the Uncloaking, celebrated every ten years is ten days of masking and revelry, culminating at midnight on the tenth day where tens of thousands of revelers remove thier masks at once at midnight while the titan roars. Here people have freedom of speech, even to mock the sealord in thier mummer's plays. Also being a faithful of the faceless god, Sorryl is known for thier secrecy and secret ways, it is a rumor that the Sorryls can do the same power the faceless men can do, as they formed it.

General Description of House: House Sorryl is one of the oldest families of Braavos, among the original escapees, with an illustrious past. One of the Keyholder families of the Iron Bank, and allegedly from their family the worship of the Faceless god began, they had assisted in the creation of the House of Black and White. Now one of the mot powerful families of Braavos and Essos, House Srryl now holds the Sealordship assuring its many titles and honors a great deal of respect
Head of House: Sealord Garran Sorryl, a man of fifty and four, called 'the Titan' was the second born son of three sons from old Patriarch Sorryl, Garran was taught mercantile and trading, but also became involved in water dancing although is high status. When he came of age, Garran abandoned his family and trading to become a bravo, and for near five years he lived the life of a lower class man, battling other bravos for courtesans and pretty women, and for honors sake, During this time, Garran came to love a courtesan in training, whose name was Voreah, they spent a whole year courting before a tragedy occurred, His father and eldest son and heir, died in a storm while overseeing thier merchant fleet. Leaving what was left of the family and its wealth in the until recently exiled second son. After years of tempering and hard work, Garran rebuilt his families strength, and soon after at the age of forty and nine was elected sealord, where he remains now, five years later. Garran is of a medium build and even in his old age, muscular and greatly built. After his time as a Bravo, Garran had become quite clever and became more so as a business man, leaving him now a hard-working, patient, and ambitious man, with a wit and courage to face most situations. Still a man of valor and honor to his vassals and citizens, he shows little mercy to those who do not follow through with promises and debts, and still a very capable fighter with his water dancing.
Notable Figures of House:
Lady Voreah 'the White Tide' a kind an gentle woman of fifty, previously a courtesan, she is now the husband of the Sealord, whom had bore him four children. Voreah was Valyrian in ethnicity, and obviously an exceptionally handsome woman to be a courtesan. She can be the very voice of reason and support her loving husband needs when in tough times.

Marono Sorryl, of the age twenty and one, the dashing eldest son of the Sealord, and heir to the family, was trained by the best to be a skilled fighter, speaker, leader, and trader. And has shown as much, however the young lad has a problem with women....he can't keep his hands off them, and is known in Braavos to frequent whore houses and courtesans and most likely have born several bastards. Marono stands taller than his father with wide shoulders and an athletic build, with black hair of his father and purple eyes of his mother, he is tanned from his adventures sailing and visiting other cities..

Irran Sorryl, of age eight and ten, the twin of the beauty, Lady Leah, is as dashing and clever as his sister. But not as strong as his older brother. Irran devoted himself to checking and balancings, books and scholarly pursuits, and is moderately obsessed with the Valyrian Culture. He is slimmer build and slightly shorter than his brother. Black hair and purple eyes

Leah Sorryl. eight and ten, the beautiful daughter of the Sealord, Leah, is both beautiful and ambitious, using her servants, bravos that admire her, and courters to gain her access to all the secrets of Braavos, her little spy network has expanded so far, that her father often has her assistance with his own business network. Leah, still a virgin enjoys the company of men and women equally. Long black hair, pale soft, skin, and purple eyes, a princess in her own right.

Adar Sorryl, six and ten, now a man fully grown,the youngest Sorryl like they have for generations joined the house of black and white to become a faceless man, and has begun his journey to become no one, he looks the closest to his father of any of the Sorryl children

Uncle Sorryl, the younger brother of Garran, Uncle Sorryl is a faceless man and thus often never takes the identity of what once was his true self, and continues his silent work for the faceless god.

History of House:House Sorryl was founded by Sorryl, a slave of Valyria whom like many others escaped their fate and found the foggy lagoon where Braavos was to be formed. Sorryl and his children who adopted his name as their last name became Merchants, using fake charts and identification as they traded around essos and westeros, Sorryl's son, was on of the sixteen men who founded the Iron Bank, and thus thier family was a key-holder and now have a permanent spot on the council meetings. Later on, an unnamed (of course) Sorryl is claimed to have founded the House of Black and White, and the discovery that all the Death gods are but one faceless god. House Sorryl since its founding remained a dominant merchant and noble family of Braavos, and several Sealords have been Sorryl in thier long history.

The anniversary of the Uncloaking, celebrated every ten years is ten days of masking and revelry, culminating at midnight on the tenth day where tens of thousands of revelers remove thier masks at once at midnight while the titan roars. Here people have freedom of speech, even to mock the sealord in thier mummer's plays.
