ASoIaF: The Last King (OOC)

[Stjernland]

I'd like to reserve House Bolton if nobody has them already. Every story needs a solid set of villains. Siege of the Dreadfort? What happened at Winterfell?

I do believe House Bolton fell already. Roose and Ramsay are dead if I remember correctly.

I do believe House Bolton fell already. Roose and Ramsay are dead if I remember correctly.

At the conclusion of A Dance with Dragons, both Roose Bolton and Ramsay Snow Bolton are still very much alive. Ramsay has been declared Lord of Winterfell and has been married to "Arya Stark." The Boltons have positioned a strong army of Northmen in the fortress, sending the Freys and Manderlies to crush Stannis Baratheon and his army. It's implied that Lord Manderly betrayed the Freys. Theon Reek has escaped with "Arya" and met up with Stannis, leaving the Boltons in a politically awkward position. Ramsay may or may not have written a letter to Jon Snow demanding his wife back.

So what's changed from the books? If House Bolton is gone, I'll apply as somebody else, but, if they're still around, I need details to get involved.

If I recall correctly from the last iteration's happenings, Stannis defeated the Boltons in the Battle of the Ice, and with the help of the northerners took Winterfell, killing Roose and Ramsay. Theon was executed to appease the northerners. They then besieged the Dreadfort, and at the start of the rp have taken it. So they are pretty gone in this rp.

I'll be posting today for Littlefinger. If possible the Royce's could timeskip to the Gates of the Moon for the tourney, or it could be possibly that our current posts were in the near past, and that the timeskip is merely to the present.

That sounds perfect, our introductory posts could have been the previous weeks and now in the present you can welcome Lord Yohn to the Gates of the Moon. As for @The Valyria Empire, I'll have Andar Royce arrive at Ironoaks to meet with Harrold or alternatively the same meeting but by the Gates of the Moon if he'd travelled there for the tourney already?

-

I see. I just read through the IC, and House Bolton has been Tywin'd. Perhaps I could role-play the shattered remnants of House Ryswell and allow for scenes where the Mannis can give the Northmen justice? It'd allow a bit of creativity since the Ryswells aren't well fleshed out. Red Ronnet is another tantalizing option. Or I might just take Bronn and proceed to troll the Iron Throne repeatedly. Lord Stokeworth!

House Name: House Ryswell
Culture: Northmen
Leader(s): Lord Rodrik Ryswell, Lord of the Rills; Lady Barbrey Ryswell, Lady of Barrowton
Lands: The Rills, The Barrowlands, and Barrowton
Sovereign: House Ryswell formerly pledged fealty to Tommen Baratheon, the First of his Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms at the instigation of Roose Bolton, Lord of the Dreadfort and Warden of the North. Rodrik was the father of Roose's second wife, the Lady Bethany, and was thus understandably eager to lend support to the Boltons. He and his daughter, Barbrey, were among the fiercest of Roose's allies. In the aftermath of Stannis's successful assault on Winterfell, the remnants of House Ryswell have elected to sue for peace, hoping they might spare their captured kin from the pyres of Stannis's Red God.
Coat of Arms:

Armed Forces: 400 men (45 heavy cavalry, 67 light cavalry cavalry, 55 heavy infantry, 49 archers, 284 spears - does not include green boys and old or infirm men)
Other Notable Things: Lord Rodrik, along with his quarrelsome children Barbrey, Roger, Rickard, and Roose, were all present when Stannis stormed Winterfell. Rodrik, Barbrey, and Rickard were captured, whereas Roger and Roose both died from injuries sustained in the fighting. Rodrik's grandson by his eldest son and heir Roger, a boy of sixteen years named Brandon, suffered a dire wound and has been at death's door for weeks. Another grandson, Jory Ryswell, broke a leg and several ribs amid a fierce cavalry charge and was captured. The Ryswells are famous for breaking horses and fielding superb light and heavy cavalry, and they gave a good account of themselves during the battle. Meanwhile, in the Rills, Lady Jeyne Ryswell, wife to Rodrik, has scrambled the household in the hopes that bending the knee to this southern pretender might secure the release of her husband, living children, and grandson. Rickard's natural daughter, Rhea Snow, fearful that a raven might not be able to brave the horrendous storms sweeping down from the north, has ridden a palfrey hard for Winterfell to treat with Stannis.

Character Name: Rodrik Ryswell
Titles: Lord of the Rills
Culture: Northman
Age: 61
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Allegiance:
Profession: Lord, Battlefield Commander, Soldier
Religion: Old Gods
Other Notable Things: Lord Rodrik is married to Lady Jeyne (aged 56). They had five children: Bethany (deceased), Barbrey (38), Roger (deceased), Rickard (33), and Roose (deceased). His daughter Bethany married Roose Bolton. Their only child was Domeric Bolton, whom Ramsay Snow murdered. Bethany later died in childbirth. Barbrey married Lord Willam Dustin, who subsequently died at the Tower of Joy. Roger married Daena Glover (32). Their living children include Brandon Ryswell (16), Bethany Ryswell (15), Benjicot Ryswell (12), and Briony Ryswell (9). Rickard never married, preferring instead to engage in numerous dalliances across the Seven Kingdoms. His natural children of note include Rhea Snow (16), sired on the daughter of the stable-master, Rupert Snow (15), sired on the steward's daughter, Rhaenyra Sand (13), sired on a Dornish noblewoman, and Roderick Snow (10), sired on a daughter of House Dustin. Roose married a distant cousin named Rosellayn Ryswell. They had a single set of twins named Rory and Rowan (14).

Lord Rodrik, together with Barbrey, Rickard, Brandon, and Rory, are currently held captive by Stannis Baratheon. Roger and Roose were both killed in the Battle of Winter. The rest of the household has sought shelter at Barrowton, dispatching several ravens and Rhea Snow to entreat Stannis for mercy. Lord Rodrik, however, remains unremorseful and has resigned himself to die well.

Anyone else watched episode six of this season already?

[Of the Quendi]

Phew, long post. The Hightower family is grotesquely large and I wanted to give everyone at least a little screen time (thank god many of them are married women living with their husbands).

I hope what I did with the Florents was alright. Since Alekyne Florent is in Oldtown it didn't seem an unreasonable request, and besides I imagine its fairly unlikely that anyone will sign up for a house that has been unlanded.

House Hightower is sending 1,500 men to attack Garlan Tyrell at Brightwater, under the command of Ser Cuy, Ser Uthor Hightower, Ser Otho, Ser Roland, and Ser Peremore -- with Leyton giving 300 men each?

How odd, but very well...

[Liecthenbourg]

Wait, you're telling me that in the middle of Euron's impending doom on Oldtown, they marched on Brightwater?

[Hellenope]

By the way, since the Greyjoy player hasn't responded to my TGs, nor posted IC or OOC, could we open the Greyjoys back up? Or maybe someone else could switch to them. Garlan's post will be about preparations to deal with Ironborn raiding up and down the Mander --- and it's silly to do that if the Ironborn aren't.... doing anything....

Ay, I've been waiting on their TG too.

Let this be known, Greyjoys are open again.

No House Hightower is sending a small force to Brightwater Keep to aid the Florent garrison and convince the Tyrell forces to pardon House Florent.

Wait, you're telling me that in the middle of Euron's impending doom on Oldtown, they marched on Brightwater?

Only a tenth of the defenders of Oldtown is marching north, there remains more than ten thousand soldiers and five thousand sailors in Oldtown. If those kinds of troops can't hold Oldtown I doubt the extra fifteen hundred would make much of a difference.

[Liecthenbourg]

Fair enough, Quendi.

Brightwater Keep already fell; Garlan took it in the events of the prior RP. He's gathering forces there to prepare for a large-scale Ironborn raid up the Mander/a counter-attack on the Shield Islands.

Pardoning House Florent will be up to the Iron Throne, since it was by order of King Tommen that House Florent was stripped of their lands and they were granted to Garlan.

Edit: Working on a post responding to Tarly and another section from the perspective of Willas.

Nowhere in the OP does it says that Brightwater Keep has fallen. I am assuming that if its not explicitly mentioned in the OP that something is different from the books then it isn't, and in the books Ser Colin Florent holds Brightwater Keep.

I'm sorry, that's my fault. As of the last IC, Brightwater Keep fell when Colin Florent died defending it. The remnants of the garrison ceded it to Garlan Tyrell.

Apologies, Quendi.

Accept me Lieeeeccc

[Valentir]

Should get a post up within the next few days.

Traitors beware, the Iron Throne demands blood.

[The Valyria Empire]

Sorry about the delay, Harrold post coming tonight.

[North America Inc]

Also besides the Iron Banks support of the Mannis, was there anything in the lore that implied Braavos supporting anyone.

Also just for the sake of asking:
Is H'Ghar the alchemist theory canon.
Is Aegon blackfyre?

Those two probably effect my story the most.

I'm not aware of the bank supporting anyone other than Stannis though a loan.

I'm not sure what thar Alchemist theory is.
For the sake of the rp, yes, I believe Aegon is a black dude but probably only Illyria and Varys know that at the moment.

I'm basically asking that if the Iron Bank is supporting Stannis, do I infer the city prefers him as king as well?
The Alchemist Theory:
it basically connects to the Old Town Story line:
http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Ja ... r/Theories
https://warsandpoliticsoficeandfire.wor ... alchemist/
https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comment ... mist_want/

It connects to this:
http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/t ... cy-theory/

TL:DR: H'Ghar or another faceless man killed Pete in Old Town and has taken the form of a Maester,basically.

Character Name:Ferrego Antaryon
Titles: Sea-Lord of Braavos
Culture: Braavosi
Age:71
Gender: Male
Appearance:Here
Allegiance: Braavos
Profession: Appointed Dictator
Religion: Moonsingers
Other Notable Things: Antayron was born into a wealthy, and notable household, one that groomed him for power and prestige. The family which gained its wealth in fishing and agriculture, had made significant pushes within the inner politics of the city to allow for one of its own to be appointed as SeaLord for the past hundred years or so. When the previous Sea Lord died,inner factions within the private and public sector vied for their various interests. The Antaryon Family patriarch agreed to support the interests of a local engineering guild, in exchange for having his eldest son be appointed as Sea-lord. The agreemet was made and the local magistrates and judges were 'convinced' of this excellent choice.

This is a constant theme within Ferrego's life, he was smart but not smart enough. He was a pawn, a way too push varying interests into the forefront. Under his father, he remained a quiet yet successful pawn, and the same trend continued into his appointment. He chose wise advisors and councilors, and never particularly pushed for anything. The city continued on just as it always had. Now as an ailing man with a growing tumor in the kidney, he knows that his time is coming too an end. Now that he ever particularly cared about it.

I'll be making another character or hinting at another one as he dies. When he dies, I''ll produce the other character application.

[Liecthenbourg]

@Stjerland and North America Inc, you're both accepted.

@Inesea, let me give it some thought.

I apologise, I was busy yesterday.

In terms of the IB supporting Stannis, you might like to infer the city prefers him - given how he has agreed to take on the debt.
