Game of Thrones: A Dream of Spring [OOC] -Concluded-

[Nuxipal]

Fair enough. I was just throwing out possibilities. The Daynes typically have more political pull than their holdings point to. Probably because of their position in Dorne as well as the exclusive titles that their men can possibly obtain. Wouldn't hurt if your grandchild became Sword of the Morning.

True enough, you gotta hope your grandchild is a badass for that to happen though.

Targaryens are always bad ass. Just.. not always with a sword.

There is the bad ass conqueror. The bad ass destroy the faith. The Bad ass, lock my sisters in a tower. The Bad ass, conquer dorne and die. The bad ass, burn them all.

Just needs to have the right bad assery for success.

Or the bad ass, accidentally killed my brother with a flail.

We could go on for days like this, but the one that takes the cake:

The Badass, I can't get my kids to listen to me so I'm gonna burn us all alive at our summer palace.

House Arryn
As High As Honour

Harrold Arryn
Lord of the Eyrie, Lord Paramount of the Vale, Warden of the East

Born three hundred and forty six years after the conquest in the Gates of the Moon
Sworn lord to the realm and House Targaryen

The Lord Arryn is a man who his vassals have longed to take up the mantle of rule. Most agree that he inherited his father's virtues and his mother's vices, a perfect blend of diligence and generosity with ambition and pride. He is a man of many words, of explaining his vision for all to understand even as he gifts his listeners with great banquets and festivities that could melt winter snows. And by a twist of fate he had to spend the first three decades of his life in service to his father, nothing more than a knight roaming the lands of Westeros as he pledged his sword to one tutor after another.

While his father had contented himself with the thankless task of finally restoring the bountiful lands of the Vale to its former glory, Harrold found himself uplifting the great chivalric values that had allowed the Vale to survive its many trials. Now an old man, Harrold has to not just prepare the affairs of his rule for the ascension of his firstborn, he must also lead the Vale through a civil war that is set to destroy all of his family's work.

Jon Arryn
Keeper of the Gates of the Moon, Knight of the Seven, Heir Apparent to the Lordship of the Eyrie

Born three hundred and sixty-eight years after the conquest, in the Gates of the Moon
Sworn Lord to the realm and House Arryn

The firstborn of Lord Arryn, Jon is a man of few pursuits. He does not hawk or feast or hunt like his father, nor does he find himself being hosted in the keeps of his father's vassals. Instead, Jon Arryn satisfies himself with the only activity that one descendant from the purest lineage of Andals could enjoy: the noble career of a swordsman. A reserved man by nature, only the mention of battle can make him come out of his shell. It is said that even his wife, the delightful Selyse Vance could not spur him to emotion as quickly as an eager squire recounting the War of the Five Kings within earshot.

And yet this image of a man of the Faith has enamoured itself well within the Vale's elite societies, for even as the Targaryens once more sully the good customs of the Andals, it is the families of the Vale to maintain the fires of propriety. As such, Jon often finds himself attempting to escape the clutches of his future vassals and their incessant demands for one duel or another, of their promises of a tourney or melee in the honour of distant relations just for the honour of his participation. While he often took to these mock battles with a gusto scarce matched, with the arrival of his own family, the aging man has seen fit to take up the position of Keeper of the Gates of the Moon in order to be closer to them and his father.

History since 301AC

D

uring the tourney in celebration of the first establishment of the Brotherhood of Winged Knights young Harrold Hardyng, the newly knighted ward of Lord Yohn Royce, was uplifted as the foremost of the brothers. In his new position as protector of Robert Arryn, Harrold remained a close retainer of the court of the Arryns at the Gates of the Moon. There, the young man was seduced by Alayne Stone, the ostensible bastard daughter of Petyr Baelish. Finally consenting the marriage out of love,
Harrold Hardyng found himself wed not to a baseborn daughter of the Lord Protector, but Sansa Stark, the last known trueborn scion of House Stark. Though there were questions of her true lineage, and of the sanctity of her marriage to Tyrion Lannister, the lords of the Vale were only too happy to see that the heir to the Vale would sire forth children of great blood.

It was shortly after this great twist that a dire calamity befell the Eyrie: Lord Robert passed away. Though the Lord Protector claimed no hand in the act, many came to believe fervently in his guilt. Harrold, now proclaimed Arryn, set about to quash any rumour that he was but a puppet of Littlefinger, eradicating all elements of the Lord of Harrenhal's edicts and appointments in the Vale. Driving out Baelish's courtiers and retainers from the Vale, Harrold instead brought in the Waynwoods and Royces to serve in office, as gratitude to their loyal service and to swiftly consolidate the true members of the Lords Declarant behind him.

Yet his reign would be short. Though he did not throw his vassals into the War of the Five Kings, preferring instead to unite the noble houses of his domain and neutralising the last vestiges of Baelish's regency, Harrold could not remain idle when the Other's invasion began its slow advance into the Seven Kingdoms. Bringing together an army of knights and their levies, Lord Harrold rode north to Moat Cailin, his hope: to stem the advance before it could reach the Andal heartlands. However he and many of his men would perish in the fighting, one tragedy among thousands.

With his death, Harrold's rule passed on to the infant child of Sansa Arryn, named Jon. Fearful that Sansa would attempt to further the ambitions of her ally Lord Baelish,
Yohn Royce and the Waynwoods were swift to intercede, taking the regency upon themselves and relegating Sansa Arryn to a merely visual figurehead. As the threat of the Others receded, the lords of the Vale held their breath, watching with fearful eyes towards the new regents. However their worries would not come to pass, for the true nature of Sansa Arryn became apparent, when she fled with the aid of bribed guards to Harrenhal and Petyr Baelish. There, to the horror of the Vale, she remarried barely before the time of mourning had passed, already pregnant on her wedding day.

Yet at home the lords of the Vale enjoyed a quiet decade and a half as they united to rebuild. And after fifteen years, when the first refugees who had come to the Vale for work and safety were beginning to make the long journey back to their ancestral homelands, Lord Jon Arryn dismissed the council. His first declaration was the reformation of the Brotherhood of Winged Knights, as a much needed band of both protectors and young nobles whom could form strong bonds together. And it was this strong bond that Jon Arryn would come to establish with all the ancient bloodlines of the Vale, ensuring for once and all that the fears of a young lord would not come to pass. Such was his dedication to unifying the Vale in a way few nobles before him had managed, the Lord Arryn scarce stayed at the Eyrie for more than a season, riding off to one lordly seat or tourney or wedding after the next. This came to establish his name as Saddlesore, for by the time he had lived three decades, it is said that he could not sit down without pain.

Jon would come to be succeeded by Jasper Arryn, a man who would come to truly bring the glory days of the Vale back to the present. Though a devout servant of the Faith, Jon Arryn did not embroil himself in the Faith Militant Uprising, following on from the path set by his father of remaining neutral and instead fostering relationships that would bring about prosperity and peace for his people. This drove several septons to attempt a violent uprising, which was silenced by the commonfolk themselves,
an act which would reverberate across the realm as a sign of the power by which the Arryns, once under the clutches of an upstart Lord Protector, had now won the love and loyalty of their people.

Now Harrold Arryn sits the weirwood throne, a man of fierce and pleasant renown.

In all the other great councils every lord in the realm where invited to vote and speak on the matter at hand

Lol, that is something i can't answer because i don't know

Which Small Council, I'm presuming that of Gaemon?

Yep, the one who locked the twins out of the city.

[Revlona]

Yep, the one who locked the twins out of the city.

All I know is the lord commander of the kingsguard


And if he locked the twins out of the city how is one using the city as his base?

[Lunas Legion]

I was confused by this too. I'm guessing the Goldcloaks chose a side.

[Eraus]

"When they arrived the gates to the Red Keep were barred to them, on order of the small council and Lord Commander of Gaemon’s Kingsguard, Prince Baelon, who did not wish for the city to be sacked over another war."

Is what it says in the OP so we'll just have to wait and see. Im guessing KL will for now be neutral, at least between the Brothers. When it comes to Cregan Stark...prob not

The Tyrells haven't chosen a side between the two Targaryens since Leo wants to make sure he's backing the legal heir, but he's quite sure that the Stark shouldn't be king.

The Westerlands are Neutral towards everyone for now, as he has Marriages up north and is Good friends with both Twins

[Revlona]

Yeah, I guess they did

Maybe the city is open too the brothers, but the red keep isn't?

[The Valyria Empire]

Bingo. The Red Keep (where the royal family, Small council and various others) is locked to the brothers. The city however was taken by Daeron, forcing Jaehaerys to flee to Dragonstone. Daeron has set the Dragonpit up as his base of operations. Baelon’s plan is to keep any possible fighting outside the city. However, should both brothers agree to attend the Grand Council there might be some fighting in the streets.

Originally in Warg’s plot he had Summerhall as Daeron’s base. However, with the invasion of the Others I thought it would be silly for the Targaryens to rebuild their summer home when so many other keeps, castles and roads would need to be rebuilt. In my rewrites, I have Gaemon wanting to rebuild Summerhall (that’s why he was visiting Highgarden, to try and find possible investors) but he died on his way home.

The Red Keep will only open again once everyone has come to KL for the Grand Council or one of the brothers steps down. Nobody knows that Cregan has declared himself King yet (he’ll do a Stannis and launch his ravens to all the realm in the first post).

Some time later this week (I hope to have it up by Friday). My app (is almost done) and the other king’s Apps are done. However, we have some apps that need changed (Flammen and King Manderly). When I get off work tonight, I will go through some of the other apps like Dayne, Baelish, Lannister, Tyrell (is it done?), Strong, and the two Targaryens. I’m also waiting for my personal friend to finish his Greyjoy app.
