Game of Thrones: Aftermath (OOC)

[Jade Confederacy]

@Lunas Legion: so was my hightower app accepted? (page 32)

About that . . .

Two things.

One: House Brightwater does not wield a fourth of the Reach's forces. I simply must protest to that notion, as it would leave the Houses of Crane, Florent, Fossoway, Mullendore, Oakheart, Redwyne, Rowan, Tarly, and Vyrwel, with an average of 5111 men each--an incredibly importable number, if one recalls that Redwyne and Florent are also powerful Houses.

Two: House Florent is deathly loyal to House Tyrell after Willas Tyrell restored them to Brightwater Keep. I do not think they would casually enter into a coup d'etat with House Brightwater.

I would also polite request--though this is not as important--that it be recognized that Willas Tyrell did not move his fleet to the Arbor out of demand. It was simply the most convenient choice.

Those are just Hightower's and it's vessel house's troops, which are not under the direct command of the Tyrells. The feudal system states that each lord commands a certain number to troops and they must put forth a fraction of that in support of their liege lord in times of war. The liege lords troops does not equal to all the troops that their vassals command. Its also 60 years since the war happened -that's plenty of time for the gratitude of the Florents for the Tyrells to fade and for the Hightowers to shove a wedge between the two houses again. Plus Hightower has blood ties to House Florent, which is stronger than any informal bond forged over half a centuries past. As for the fleet, im just working on what was put on the Tyrell app. It didnt state the reasons so i made up one.

1: Still, it seems improbable, even with that understanding. Robb Stark barely raise 20,000 men when he marched south. Even in recognizing the might of House Hightower, I think it is safe to say that their might does not exceed the might of an entire Kingdom.

2: I concede the point, understanding what you are saying. Under a minute point of interest, Willas Tyrell did not restore House Florent immediately. It was after the birth of his son, so I imagine it was closer to thirty years ago. That would have made his son Mace Tyrell ten at the time.

3: Understandably, and I appreciate the creativity. Do recognize, though, that it was not for the reason stated.

And, perhaps in the recognition that the Reach is stronger united, a tie might be brought between the Houses Tyrell and Brightwater. A fierce enemy is also a valuable friend. Garlan Tyrell has a younger brother; Garth Hightower has a young daughter. I have no doubt that Loras would enjoy seeing the Arbor, as well.

Stark dynasties and Tullies received letters from Iron King. Can anyone respond?

I'll respond in a bit.

[Arlye Austros]

The Bog Devils are waiting those raiders

You mean Lord Delusion of Kingship.

You mean Lord Delusion of Kingship.

You do know the Ironborn have been independent for more than half a century, right?

[Rephesus]

A Martell-Tyrell marriage? That's laughable.

[Mormak]

You mean Lord Delusion of Kingship.

You do know the Ironborn have been independent for more than half a century, right?

The C.S.A were Independent for five years.

You have point? Independnece means little unless if you maintain the alliances and power required to sustain it. Those Raiders seek not the power of Dorne, Casterly Rock nor High Garden, They seek to sup with Wolves and Trout.

A Martell-Tyrell marriage? That's laughable.

Would you have said that of a Martell/Lannister Marriage?

Kevan's adorable, Little darker then most of Westeros but still has those killer eyes and blond hair

Dorne? More powerful than the North or Riverlands? Uh-hu?

The House of Martell is a far sight easier to rally under then the Northmen.

Possibly because they do not have bannermen on the edge of the world.

[Krumbia]

So no one objects to Lord Dilon Hardyng-Stark being Warden of the East?

[Zentrut]

The Lord Paramount of the Vale has always been Warden of the East.

[Mormak]

The Lord Paramount of the Vale has always been Warden of the East.

Indeed, Although the dragon queen could have changed that, She bestowed the title of Warden of the West back to the Lannisters.

[Logistica Suprema]

A Martell-Tyrell marriage? That's laughable.

I would not be so sure. Trystane Martell wants peace, and peace cannot be had with a Tyrell army standing between your own host and the Lannister's. I believe House Dayne has been the first step already, ushering in a new age of bondage between Dorne and the Reach. I believe Lady Nymyne Costayne-Dayne has seen to that.

Indeed, but who knows what would happen in 60+ years, with House Arryn being dissolved and other such events. Anyway, I'm fine with that - just checking.

Of course not, Myrcella is the current Lady of Sunspear, is she not? Plus the Dornish loved Tyrion, who raised Tommen. So long as the Lannisters don't make a claim to the throne or start a war, I'm sure an alliance would develop.

And Dorne is easily one of the strongest houses. The North was devastated first by the war of 5 kings, and again (more severely) by the Other Invasion, the majority of their population would've died from that and they would have a significantly smaller military. The Riverlands would be somewhat stronger, but the war hurt them swell. In contrast. Dorne was left almost untouched.

Hehe bondage…

Dorne is still 7th of the 9 regions of Westeros, the North would be inhabited by Wildlings, and the Riverlands repopulate quickly. Dorne could still beat out the Iron Isles and the Crownlands though.

Yes, she married into the Three Towers, Not Highgarden. The Costayne's aren't the most loyal bannermen.

It was already explained that the Other Invasion did not see them occupy and exterminate, instead they rushed south and hoped to defeat the armies opposed to them before exterminating. So we didn't lose that much life, the most damage was material and that can always be replaced, especially 60 years down the line...

So what are the current faction aiming for the Iron throne?

How could they not be loyal? They are paving a road that should have been built long ago. It is time for the Reach and Dorne to recognize that they are stronger together than apart. Where would House Martell be today, I ask, had not their founder seen fit to accept the Rhoynar?

[Keznov]

So what are the current faction aiming for the Iron throne?

Only the Blackfyres publicly claim the Iron Throne. Otherwise Lord Stark and Lord Lannister both put forward their names for the regency, both were rejected and Tywin left, Rickon has put himself forth once again and is awaiting a response.
