The Winds of Winter

"Winter is almost upon us, boy. And winter is death. I would sooner my men die fighting for the Ned's little girl than alone and hungry in the snow, weeping tears that freeze upon their cheeks. No one sings songs of men who die like that. As for me, I am old. This will be my last winter. Let me bathe in Bolton blood before I die. I want to feel it spatter across my face when my axe bites deep into a Bolton skull. I want to lick it off my lips and die with the taste of it on my tongue." - Hugo Wull

Winter has come to the Seven Kingdoms. The army of King Stannis Baratheon has been shattered by the forces of House Bolton and King Stannis is nowhere to be found. The Northern Lords however, are restless and plot to restore the Starks to Winterfell. Aegon Targaryen, son of Prince Rhaegar, long thought to be dead, has landed in Westeros and with the aid of the Golden Company, has captured most of the Stormlands. The Dorne has sent Princess Arianne to meet with Aegon and learn the truth to Aegon's claims. The Small Council of King Tommen has been thrown into chaos after the assassination of Kevan Lannister. The Seven Kingdoms have been thrown into chaos and Winter has come.

Damn, you skipped the Battle of Ice. Was going to be Baratheon or Bolton.

In that case... Reserve the Starks and assorted loyalists.

[Austria and Bavaria]

Hopefully going to open the IC tonight.

Am I in control of all of the Starks? Or will some not be used or controlled by others e.g. Sansa with Littlefinger.

I had actually not thought of that. You will control Sansa, that is for sure. Maybe Sansa, Jon Snow and Wyman Manderly as POVs?

Those three are fine. However I'll need to know what plans are for Jon. May I also have Alysane Mormont? I'd quite like someone who is outright rebelling against the Boltons (and a decent warrior), Manderly is still with the Boltons officially. She was with Stannis' army, but it could be said she fled to Deepwood Motte with Asha who she was assigned to guard.

Bran, Arya, and Rickon are different matters. Though something should be sorted.

Yes on Alysane Mormont and her story. Nuxipal and I are still working out Jon Snow.

A Robin Arryn POV? Oh boy.

I can't help myself in wanting to make him into at least a half decent lord for the Vale. It's gonna be difficult, but it should give me a good way to get a perspective on everything going on, and it'll make for a good intro.

Alright, Southerners can post now. My opening post ended up being slightly less consequential than planned though.

Baratheon, Bolton, Baelish Frey and Martell are still open.

[Argentumurbem]

I know that we do not have a Baelish yet but I would like to make a suggestion that we "remove" his "control" over the riverlands and instead insert a Frey faction.
- A) Baelish has no interest in the riverlands as of Winds of Winter
- B) Frey is the only pro-Lannister house within the riverlands, what with Darry about to pass on one of the Westerlander knights.

As for the Lords Declarant, while I understand the issue of "balance" certain houses have, by the end of DoD and beginning of Winds of Winter, been won over by Baelish, although definitely the most obvious is:
- House Belmore: lord corbray married a girl picked out by baelish and belmore (and grafton) and baelish become best buds afterwards.

In my (soon-to-be published masterpiece) post, I have Edmure being rescued off the bat, Olyvar getting free from his family off of the bat and Brynden rescuing the first of the Frey prisoners. I hope that is ok.

I am also going off of this:
GRRM has confirmed that Jeyne Westerling will appear in the The Winds of Winter Prologue. When we last left Jeyne Westerling, she was being escorted from Riverrun to Casterly Rock by Ser Forley Prester and 600 Lannister soldiers.
A Confrontation: After Jaime Lannister successfully resolved the Siege of Raventree Hall, he's intercepted by Brienne of Tarth who informs him that she's found the Hound and that he's holding Sansa Stark. More likely, Brienne intends to lead Jaime to Lady Stoneheart.
A Wedding: Ser Daven Lannister is set to marry a daughter or granddaughter of Walder Frey. This event looks likely to occur in Riverrun.
