Game of Thrones ~ Legacy (OOC/Open)

[New Frenco Empire]

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned what season it was, it's currently Autumn/Fall. Winter is Coming.

[Lunas Legion]

Lancel swears fealty to no one, unless one earns said fealty. A.k.a you win the war, he'll go quietly. Start losing, and you'll have the Westerlands pouring into the Reach, burning and pillaging as they move.

This is where those extra 10,000 could have come in handy, but oh well.

Anyway, the Reach will be at Lancel's mercy . . . and thus the Westerlands at Garlan's.

Westerlands is a lot more defensible; not to mention Casterly Rock was made dragonproof (although that has yet to be tested) so it'll take a long, long time to fall.

[Senkaku]

Of which he shall reply to neither, call his banners and burn the letters.

Then wait. And wait some more.

If he does that, he's just waiting to come and die. I's all good with that.

You know, for someone with only one of the Seven Kingdoms, a tenuous grip on the capital, a lot of people who don't like you, and has enemies who have mature dragons that were able to destroy white walker armies when they were smaller and younger....

Well, you're awfully cocky, especially when you think about the Volantene fleet with forty thousand-odd pots of wildfire waiting to slag the Red Keep and/or Highgarden (which is conveniently located next to the Mander). And the fact that the Reach's armies will be split between the Reach (which will almost certainly be attacked and potentially face rebellions), and King's Landing, which will be besieged, potentially by an army with three very large dragons, doesn't really help your strategic position.

The way things stand right now, Garlan's basically screwed.

A.k.a not-campaigning season. Only a idiot goes on or risks ending up in a winter campaign *cough*NapoleonHitlerMacArthurVarus*cough*.

And thus King's Landing at Lancel's mercy... or Aegon's mercy... or Trystane's mercy, if he escapes... or Lysis's mercy...


Garlan needs to either protect the capital and the throne (or risk losing a great deal of cachet), or the Reach, his power base. If he loses the capital, he loses the Iron Throne, probably forever, and will get squished between two armies in the Reach, one from Dragonstone and one from Casterly Rock. If he loses the Reach, he's utterly fucked.

Well, actually, he's fucked either way, since Lysis is planning on burning the Red Keep and potentially Highgarden into so much glowing slag and ash.

HELL YEAH!

[Senkaku]

Oh yeah, forget to mention this. Would anyone mind if it turned out a very elderly Varys was quietly living in Volantis with the triarchs' consent? It's not in any way crucial, I just thought it'd make a nice addition.

[Caralia]

And thus leaves 1 Baratheon left. (Not Counting Bastards)

HAHAHA, that be true. I guess only Dornishmen can trust they can campaign and not risk any change in their food income, provided it is a rather soft winter.

It's Murphy's Law that whenever a major military campaign vulnerable to the weather is attempted, the weather will be the worst possible for the campaign. See '41 and 1812 for examples.

Yeah, thought I'd make things interesting. If anything, this would hurt me more than anyone else. It doesn't snow in Dorne, so if we march north during this, we'll be right fucked.

[Logistica Suprema]

I do believe Ronnel Hardyng-Stark has not received news of Garlan´s Coronation yet?

And Loras respectively. He's going to be riding fast and hard. Also, if Vardis accepts, Garlan is going to write to Ronnel.

Dear Seven, thou hath no mercy. How many months hath we?

Who said anything about dragons, or sieges? No one. The power lies in the proletariats.

Garlan is cocky--indeed, he's fully arrogant. However, if we examine the nature of my comment, we will understand it was directed at the reactionary nature of Lancel Lannister--i.e., he is allowed Garlan to come and kill him as necessary. Also, how many sailors do you think are going to willing sail to their deaths? Everyone knows about the Battle of the Blackwater, everyone knows what happens to sailors when there's wildfire in the water.

Also, Garlan wouldn't face the dragons in field combat, and burning King's Landing to the ground would not earn House Crassius any favors.

It also makes the north goddamn uninvadable and the Vale nearly so.

Reminds me that time I killed Meera Reed in the previous RP (after revealing to her grandsons she had laid with Brandon Stark).

Who have no power. Name any single successful peasant revolt in the entirety of the Middle Ages.

I'll make a post taking place at the Citadel whenever I feel it would be interesting to throw it in. Stay on your toes.

Nor did I say they were revolting. One does not incite the base of a pyramid to revolt--one breaks it all together.

[Caralia]

Well, We've got about 4 possible Baratheons and Steffon. Edric has a son, Gendry may have had children, And then there is Bella, Roberts other daughter, who we know was a prostitute, So there are likely several Baratheon bastards scattered about the world. Steffon needs to find those guys. To kill or to Legitimize, I wonder.

And I could do the exact same by riding into the Reach and setting fire to everything. Especially since winter is coming, which would completely screw you over for that.

Hmm... Chevauchee, away!

[Caralia]

How I wish I was in any position to grab myself some reach. But nope, Steffon's Mum just died, along with Brother, Got bigger things to worry about.

Doesn't matter. War takes things off people's minds. Worked for Robb/Cat, it'll work for Baratheons.

[Caralia]

True. Lets see how much of a Heartless Legitimate Child Steffon is.

Edit: Answer: Very.

[The United Realms Of Lords and Paradox]

winter is coming sweet, still not pass day one on the putsch

[Lorellion]

And then the Riverlands will be burned... again. I should've thought more about choosing House Tully. Now everyone is going to be off doing wars and House Tully will get smashed between every army imaginable. Lovely.

Sounds fun to be you, actually.
