Robert Baratheon's death is around the end of the year correct? So it should be 299 following his death?

Taking a deserter of the Night's Watch would kinda make the Brudes Personae non Gratae of the north, a lot different than taking him as a ward would have been

Is it deserting if you never take your vows in the first place?

I believe you can leave before you take the vows, but that would mean your crimes are not washed away.
In other words, tyb would still be guilty of treason, and the northerners would probably execute him, or hand him over to the lannisters.
Granted, things are gonna change real soon, so who knows?

Someone may take him in, as of now. If it's certain, I'll post it. But Im gonna log off, now. I have a game in FIFA waiting for me.

You were sentenced to the Night's Watch. That's like escaping the prison bus before you got to Prison. Your crimes are still there, AND you just escaped your sentence. You're doubly fucked, kiddo.

Also Warg, I would say Robert died around late October, going off the timeline.

Ah, gotcha, thanks

However, the death will come sooner. Ned is going to leave his position of Hand the following day due to disputes over what to do with Dany. From there, Davos will probably request that he meet with Stannis personally. Then they'll hop ship over to Dragonstone, chat things up until Robert's death and then the ravens will fly.

I plan to have Robert, go hunting sooner due to Ned's departure.

Ok. Just trying to make sense of the timeline and figure out what time in the year everything's happening in

Appearances aren't that big of a deal. But the show ages up characters so if someone is using a show appearance in their app you have to remember their book age.

Like I'm using Shaved Robb from the pilot but I'm using book Ned. Yaana is using show Stannis and Renly but I'm assuming he's using book Davos. Just refer to their app for their appearance. If there isn't an app assume book appearance.

Okay I was just wondering because I wanted to set up a meeting with Rana Blacklocke and Ramsay Snow (Bolton) and I wanted to know if I was going to be talking with the "strapping young psychopath" from the show. Or the repulsive oily psychopath from the book.

I think you should change some names. There's like three Ranas and I'm getting confused. Maybe some nicknames would help.

Yea, I know.... It sounded good at the time to have a II III and IV and all that but geeze..... I fully understand.

Um... Well, I can possibly retcon Rana (II) Karstark and change her first name. I only have one or two posts for her so it should be easy. She isn't a main character in my house anyway.

Nice! Welcome Altegonnia! :) Having Rodrik and Harras around will be very interesting!

I was planning to use Rodrik Harlaw as part of my plot, so I will bump Asha up from an ancillary character to a main character!

Name: Asha Greyjoy
House: House Greyjoy of Pyke
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Titles: The Kraken’s Daughter
House Seat: Pyke
House Sigil:
Image

Allegiance paid to: House Greyjoy
Appearance:
Image

Personality:Independent: Asha has grown up in a very macho society but she has taken up her role as her father’s heir and has excelled beyond the expectations for a woman in Westeros.

Sexuality: Asha is very empowered, she chooses her partners, but is also clear that she will not simply agree to any marriage. If she marries, it will be her choice and her choice alone.

Bold: Asha is not one to hold her tongue. She is opinionated and not shy share her views.

Proud: Asha is very much her father’s daughter. As his only remaining child upon Pyke, Balon’s personality has rubbed off on Asha. She is proud of House Greyjoy and Ironborn Culture. But unlike her father, she is wise enough to know its benefits and its limitations.

Charismatic: The crew of her ship, The Black Wind would follow her anywhere, even to their deaths. She is very adept at reading people and speaking to her audience.

Skills: Experienced Fighter. Respected Commander. Excels at throwing weapons. Cunning. Charismatic. Honourable.
Weaponry: Armour, axe, dirk and throwing axes.
Military Strength: N/A.
Biography:: Asha Greyjoy is the only daughter of Balon Greyjoy and Alannys Harlaw. She lived through her father’s rebellion, but unlike her brothers, she remained on Pyke at its conclusion. She has all the skills of the Ironborn, she knows how to read the winds, steer a ship and conduct a raid. She followed in her father’s footsteps by becoming the Captain of her own ship, The Black Wind and sailing across the world. She is considered by many to be Balon’s true heir and loyally serves her father.

Yet having been raised both at Pyke and at Ten Towers she shares the characteristics of both Balon Greyjoy and Rodrik Harlaw. She has her father’s determination, belief in Ironborn culture and she garners a similar level of respect from her people. From her Nuncle she has received a much wider view of the world than her father’s. She has traded across the world and this has provided her with a different perspective. Asha has learned from both her father figures and has respect for both the Iron and the Gold price. Behind her confident exterior, Asha is a caring daughter for her ailing mother.

Yeah, in Westeros you don't usually name your child the same name as yourself. You especially don't do it three times, as having three members of the family running about with the same name is confusing.

It is common to have your grandchild named after you however.

See Daeron II and Daeron (son of Maekar)
This is why I hate what the S7 leaks about Jon's true name is. They're saying Rhaegar names him Aegon... when he already had another son named Aegon. I still think if R+L=J is true in the books, his name will be Aemon since he compares himself to Aemon the Dragonknight a lot

I think Viserys is also a good potential option for Jon's Targaryen name. Since Rhaegar was kinda obsessed with "the Dragon has Three Heads" and he named his previous two children after Aegon and Rhaenys, and the closest male equivalent to Visenya would be Viserys. Also, it would make Dany's brother a sort of foil for Jon, at least if he meets her and Viserys ends up being his name, since having the same name as her brother might make a her a little wary.

I'm hoping Jon's name, as Val said, is Aemon.
Would be cooler due to his friendship with Maester Aemon. Not to mention, if Aegon VI is the real Aegon then that would make Jon's name very confusing and an odd thing for Rhaegar to do.

Also Warg
Rhaegar's brother is Viserys, I don't think he would do as they try to keep the name limit to one. A lot of people think it's going to be Jaehaerys but to me that seems really silly because he's named Jon.

I think it's more likely that with GRRM style of writing that it would be Aemon. As a child Jon would pretend to be The Dragonknight.

"I'm Aemon the Dragonknight!"

And multiple times through the books he would compare himself to the Dragonknight.
"I am no Dragonknight."

Plus add on his close partnership with Jon, and it would sense in the style of GRRM.

I get that Rhaegar was going for the three heads, with Rhaenyes and Aegon, all he needed was Visenya. This supports R+L=D more than it supports R+L=J though.


France I was referring to the Season 7 leaks which said that Jon is named Aegon which I think is stupid since at the time of his birth (if Rhaegar named him before leaving the tower) Aegon is still alive. The insult to House Martell would even greater.

Skagosi are animals, get them exterminated. Nothing good has come from that inbred dog sty.

While it is a long shot, Rhaegar might also have been a good name. By this point Lyanna would know (or at least suspect) that he was dead,
so what better way to support his ideology than to name the final piece after him? But yeah, a Viserys foil would be tasty.
