Also thank you, now I can expand on Arthur's and Edric's histories.

I'd note several things, by the way, that I'm not sure I emphasized clearly enough in the application....

1) Rhaegar is hated in Dorne, certainly among most Dornish nobles and absolutely by members of House Martell. Not only did he cheat on Elia Martell (w/o her knowledge or consent), he used Dornish troops to protect his paramour (and secure peace, but c'est la vie) and he raised the bastard child up to be above Elia's daughter. Rhaegar has consequently not set foot back in Dorne since.

2) Rhaegar and Elia do not sleep in the same chambers, nor do they sleep together. Rhaegar brings high-quality prostitutes to tend to his needs when necessary, paying them well to ensure there are no Targaryen bastards running around. I assume Elia also has a paramour or two. Their marriage is dead in all but name.

3) Rhaegar is slowly getting increasingly preoccupied with finding the 'threat' that the Prince That Was Promised (Aegon) must fight. To that end, he has filled the court with a large number of septons, septas, mystics, faux greenseers, Volantene prophets, red priests, etc, who attempt to divine the future in nebulous ways. As a result, when he's not engaged in matters of state, or traveling to deal with one lord or another, he's usually overseeing Aegon's "training" or trying to divine the meaning of the latest mystical stuff his court has come up with. As a result, he won't have neglected Edric, certainly, but he won't have been entirely 100% attentive to Edric either.

4) Viserys doesn't like Aegon, nor does Aegon like Viserys. Edric can befriend one or the other at your discretion, but not both. Aegon is very much the paragon of the 'lawful good paladin' that does no wrong, while Viserys is more of a neutral, neutral good character -- not malicious, but not exactly a paragon of virtue (prone to gambling, drinking at times, cavorting with whores in KL, etc -- but still learning his lessons relatively dutifully, etc). Viserys is also more of a brooder, prone to melancholic twists of mood.

Rhaegar and prostitutes? The fuck... both Eddard and Barristan mention that Rhaegar was not one to go that route. I think Rhaegar would continue to mend the situation with Elia rather than move on. He was prophecy obessed, but before Lyanna he was kind towards her. He obviously cared about her, and made sure harm never fell upon her. Elia, would be pissed no doubt, but I personally feel Rhaegar should still be trying to mend things. /rantover

Arthur and Rhaegar are still BFFs. (I hope) Arthur was involved in the kidnapping plot, so he has no ill will towards Rhaegar about it. With Arthur being the father figure that Edric never had, Edric mostly feels the same way. However, since he was not alive when the event took place he is neutral for the most part.

That's fine, I mentioned that Arthur is teaching Edric had to fight. Arthur is making up for where Rhaegar can't. I also didn't plan on having Edric befriend either of the two boys since they're mostly older. (If we want to we can) However, he'd probably drift towards Aegon since he's raised on Dayne values. Plus, I plan on having Edric basically be how he was in the books, just without being surrounded by death.

I see the parallel you're pulling with Viserys. Making him very similar to the Rogue Prince.

Elia, would be pissed no doubt, but I personally feel Rhaegar should still be trying to mend things. /rantover

I understand what you're saying, but I'm pointing out that Elia Martell no long sleeps with Rhaegar, both for her own security & safety and also out of sheer anger at Rhaegar's actions. I mentioned in my application how Rhaegar attempted to reconcile with Elia multiple times, but Elia rejected or misinterpreted his efforts. Eventually, after several efforts, Rhaegar started leaving Elia alone more often than not, hoping that time and distance would soothe what apologies and gifts could not. It didn't work, unfortunately for Rhaegar.

Additionally, I'm not saying Rhaegar is cavorting with prostitutes every other day; I'm saying that over the course of thirteen years, Rhaegar has felt the need -- he's no Baelor the Blessed, doomed to a life of celibacy. Yet, at the same time, he doesn't dare get a full paramour out of fear for the disruption this causes to the court and the extra slight it does to Elia. So yes, once every two or three months, he has a prostitute slipped into the Red Keep. On top of that, Rhaegar is not the Silver Prince anymore. He's the King, he's aged, he's been worked steadily to rebuild and maintain his House's control over the Seven Kingdoms, while desperately preparing Aegon to fight some unknown threat. He's grown more short-tempered, more paranoid, more obsessive with prophecy; he's no Aerys, not even close, but he's not the perfect prince anymore.

Arthur and Rhaegar are still BFFs. (I hope) Arthur was involved in the kidnapping plot, so he has no ill will towards Rhaegar about it. With Arthur being the father figure that Edric never had, Edric mostly feels the same way. However, since he was not alive when the event took place he is neutral for the most part.

Indeed - just mentioning it as a note, since the Daynes are nominally a Dornish house, so if you're going to RP with other Dornish characters, it's undoubtedly something that will come up in the Dornish plot --- plus Arthur's interactions with Elia Martell and others.

That's fine, I mentioned that Arthur is teaching Edric had to fight. Arthur is making up for where Rhaegar can't. I also didn't plan on having Edric befriend either of the two boys since they're mostly older. (If we want to we can) However, he'd probably drift towards Aegon since he's raised on Dayne values. Plus, I plan on having Edric basically be how he was in the books, just without being surrounded by death.

I figured he would befriend one or the other at some point, since they would have been trained together (albeit not with each other, but certainly in close proximity), and given Rhaegar's friendship with Arthur, both of the Princes would certainly be aware of Edric's presence, and possibly have befriended him as a result. Aegon is 5 years older, while Viserys is only 3 -- large differences in training, maturity, etc, but not entirely insurmountable. Up to you on how you want to handle this.

House Name: The Night's Watch
Culture: (Westerlander, Northerner, etc) Multicultural
Leader: Jeor Mormont, 997th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch
Lands: Brandon's Gift, New Gift and the Wall
Sovereign: None
Coat of Arms: Sable
Direct Forces/Vassal Forces: 2,500 men
History of the House since 282 AC During the tenure of Lord Commander Qorgoyle the Night's Watch, having struggled for years became the subject of renewed royal patronage by the new King Rhaegar Targaryen and saw a slow but steady growth of its recruitments. This continued following the death of Qorgoyle and the election of Jeer Mormont as 997th Lord Commander and in recent years the Nights Watch has begun to develop the gift lands and made plans for the refortification of the many abandoned castles on the Wall.
429 - DO NOT REMOVE.

Name: Jeor Mormont
Titles: Lord Commander of the Night's Watch
Culture: Northman
Age: 68
Gender: Male
Appearance: Lord Commander Mormont is an imposing figure in spite of his age. He has broad-shoulders and a stern gaze. He has lost most most of his hair save for his shaggy grey-white beard.
Allegiance: Night's Watch
Profession: Lord Commander of the Night's Watch
Religion: Old Gods
Family Members: Ser Jorah Mormont, Maege Mormont, Dacey Mormont, Alysane Mormont, Lyra Mormont, Jorelle Mormont, Lyanna Mormont,
Personal History since 282 AC: Some time before Roberts Rebellion Jeor Mormont abandoned his Lordship over Bear Island to join the Night's Watch. He advanced quickly through the ranks of the order being tasked to refortify the castle Stonedoor with exiles from Roberts Rebellion in 286 AC. After the death of Lord Commander Qorgoyle in 288 AC Mormont was elected as the 997th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Concerned with the rising threat of the Wildlings Lord Commander Mormont exploited the increasing patronage of the Night's Watch by the new King Rhaegar Targaryen to strengthen the Night's Watch. On the advice of his First Ranger, Benjen Stark, Mormont gave up the regular patrols used by his predecessor Lord Qorgyle in favor of a more random system, varying the number of patrols and the days of their departure, to make it more difficult for the wildlings to know their comings and goings. He also began to use the influx of new men and resources to develop the holdings of the Night's Watch further. At the time of his election the Night's Watch manned only four of their fortresses permanently; the Shadow Tower, Stonedoor, Castle Black and Eastwatch-by-the-sea. The Lord Commander made it a policy to man most of the castles on a part time basis and in 289 AC Woodswatch-by-the-Pool was given a permeant garrison. Icemark followed in 293 AC, followed by Long Barrow in 296 AC. Plans for the permanent fortification of Westwatch-by-the-Sea is currently under way.

Hey @Utceforp are you still looking for a husband for Wynafryd Manderly? I have Crakehall have three sons that could be wed.

[Liecthenbourg]

Excellent Quendi, just a reminder its Westwatch-by-the-Bridge, not the sea

Also, of course, since they've gone for more forts over consolidation, all those forts you've mentioned are certainly manned, but undermanned, oui?

[Utceforp]

Not a problem. I did the school thing long ago lol. So I have three to choice, two are at Crakehall, and the youngest in King's Landing.

Ser Tybolt Crakehall, his eldest son and heir to Crakehall.
Ser Lyle Crakehall, his second son, called the "Strongboar"
Ser Merlon Crakehall, his third son.

Not necessarily. With roughly three times as many men as in the books I can afford to man quite a few castles as well as the three manned in the book. Of course that wasn't all that well. I was thinking something like this:

Castle Black: 1,200
Shadow Tower: 400
Eastwatch: 300
Stonedoor: 200
Woodswatch: 150
Icemark: 150
Long Barrow: 150

I'd contend that everything outside of Castle Black there is undermanned, to be quite honest. Not that that's entirely bad, given the situation for the NW is much greater than in canon.

House Name: House Tyrell
Culture: Reachman
Leader: Mace Tyrell
Lands:The Reach
Sovereign: The Iron Throne
Coat of Arms:

Direct Forces/Vassal Forces: The Reach is known for its chivalry and fertile lands, among other things. In any case with that combination it shouldn't be a shock that they control the biggest bulk of forces in Westeros. With the fleet of the Redwynes, the Reach also holds incredible naval influence. In total, according to the official ORBAT, the Reach controls the following forces:

Total: 70,000, 220 ships
House Tyrell: 5,500
House Tarly: 3,000
House Hightower: 5,500
House Redwyne: 3,000
Other Reach Houses: 1,500 per house

History of the House since 282 AC After the decisive victory at Ashford and the taking of Storm's End, House Tyrell had looked forward to a great reward -- But when the Lannisters installed Rhaegar on the Iron Throne, the Tyrell's loyalty went virtually unrewarded. Not even Lord Mace's new office as Master of Coin was any aid in lending him the King's ear, who supposedly doesn't think much of Lord Tyrell. Their resignation over the new King's ignorance ended when a fourth child was born to Alerie and Mace: Margaery, a girl. And another girl, although considerably older, joined the Household at the time: Lysa Tully, sent as a ward to Highgarden after the rebellion failed. Dismissed by Lady Olenna, Lady Alerie took a hold of her and allowed her to join her entourage as a handmaiden. When the Greyjoys rebelled, House Tyrell stood by the Iron Throne and lended the might of the Reach's fleet and armies -- not the least out of self interest, since the Reach was in fear of raids. After the Greyjoys were crushed and their House nearly exterminated, it was decided that Theon would be sent to Highgarden as a ward. He bonded with the older boys Garlan and Willas rather quickly. Unfortunately, he was also the cause for House Tyrell's biggest modern tragedy: When Willas was tending to the horses, Theon accidently scared them. In the ensuing chaos, Willas fell to the ground and one of the horses onto him, which seriously crippled his leg and nearly cost him his life. While Willas forgave the young ward, Mace and Alerie did not. Willas used the time to advance his state of mind , Garlan was (to the honor of his family) admitted to the Kingsguard and Loras, unmarried like Willas, travelled Westeros to attend one tourney after another. With Margaery coming of age too, the Tyrells could soon forge new alliances that could alter the future of Westeros and of their own House drastically.

Name: Mace Tyrell
Titles: Lord of Highgarden
Defender of the Marches
High Marshal of the Reach
Warden of the South
Master of Coin

Culture: Reachman
Age: 42 Years
Gender: Male
Appearance: Mace's looks are commonly the center of jokes and jibs -- mostly his weight. Once a desirable young Lord, he not only became buff but also looks older than he truly is, with his neatly cut beard already having white and grey hair. His hair is curly and brown, like his children's.
Allegiance: House Targaryen, House Tyrell
Profession: Noble, Master of Coin
Religion: Faith of the Seven

Family Members:
Olenna Tyrell (mother)
Maester Gormon Tyrell (uncle)
Moryn Tyrell (uncle) and his family
Garth Tyrell (uncle) and his family
Mina Tyrell (sister) & Lord Paxter Redwyne (cousin & brother-in-law) and their children
Janna Tyrell (sister) & her husband Ser Jon Fossoway (brother-in-law)
His wife Alerie (née Hightower) and their children: Willas, Garlan, Loras and Margaery
As well as Alerie's father, Lord Leyton Hightower (Mace's father-in-law) and by extension his family

Personal History since 282 AC: Mace's forces crushed Robert Baratheon at Ashford, forcing him North into his demise. It was Mace who besieged Storm's End and (for the first time) broke their defense. He rightfully executed the younger Baratheon, as his King would have wanted him to, and what did he get for his loyalty and commitment once the war was over? Merely the title of "Master of Coin", not even Hand, and resentment from the new King. But he continued to execute his duties faithfully. When War came onto the Realm once more, he stood by his King and committed himself and far more than that to their War. As much in debt as the Iron Throne was, the Reach still offered their financial aid. Yet, no matter how patiently Mace seemed: Of course he was aware of the jibs and jokes, of how they underestimated him. But the time for him and his House would come, and then they'd laugh no more.

Name: Olenna Tyrell, born Redwyne
Titles: Dowager Lady of Highgarden
Queen of Thorns

Culture: Reachwoman
Age: 70 Years
Gender: Female
Appearance: As cunning as she is, her age has left literal marks on her. Olenna's small body and her face are scarred from her old age; her hair is white, she doesn't have any teeth anymore.
Allegiance: House Tyrell
Profession: Noble
Religion: Faith of the Seven

Family Members: Mace Tyrell (son) & his wife Alerie (née Hightower, daughter-in-law)
Willas, Garlan, Loras and Margaery (grandchildren)
Mina Tyrell (daughter) & Lord Paxter Redwyne (nephew & son-in-law) and their children
Janna Tyrell (daughter) & her husband Ser Jon Fossoway (son-in-law)

Personal History since 282 AC: Few have seen as much of what's considered history as Lady Olenna Tyrell. Yet the events after Robert's Rebellion were still extraordinarily remarkable to her. Quite simply: The Lannisters and Rhaegar played the Realm, and neither her son nor the foolish Martells did anything to intervene. And so it wasn't her son - loyal to the Iron Throne from the first hour - who was made Hand of the King, but Tywin Lannister, who only rushed to the aid of the Targaryens once their victory was inevitable. Her oaf of a son was made Master of Coin, not that he could use his seat in the Small Council to much of an advantage, and she continued to focus on the Tyrell's at home. Proud and beautiful roses, all of them, but one was particularly promising: the young Margaery, her grandchild, was sure to bloom one day -- and Olenna made sure she would, educating her and sharing her stories and wisdoms. Now she is ready to be married, and could be a great asset in the advancement of House Tyrell, but there's more: Olenna has her eyes on a change in the Small Council too. Maybe she should accompany Margaery on her visit to King's Landing?

House Name: House Grafton of Gulltown
Culture: Valemen, Andal
Leader: Lord Gerold Grafton
Lands: City of Gulltown and the surrounding hinterlands
Sovereign: House Arryn of the Vale
Coat of Arms: A yellow tower, burning, on a black pile inverted, on a red field
Direct Forces/Vassal Forces: Can levy a force of 3,000, a mix of spearmen and men-at-arms, with a mounted ratio of about 1/4 (so about 750 cavalry). An additional 300 knights. A further 1,000 levied by House Shett of Gulltown of a similar construct, plus 100 knights. (+10 Ships if I may be allowed them?)
History of the House since 282 AC

282 AC : House Grafton's lord, Marq, was killed by Robert at the outset of his rebellion. The Grafton forces were very early defeated and were uninvolved for the rest of the war. His young son, Gerold Grafton takes over as head of the household and Lord of Gulltown.
285 AC : Gerold takes a wife
286 AC : Their first son, and current heir, Marcus, is born
288 AC : Their second son, Manford, is born
290 AC : Their first daughter, Julia, is born
291 AC : Their youngest son, Gyles, is born

- brother, Ser Daemon Grafton, a knight in service (28)
-- his wife, Elysa, formerly of House Arryn of Gulltown (28)
--- their son, Jon (11)
--- their daughter, Alysa Grafton (8)
Personal History since 282 AC:

After the death of his father at the taking of Gulltown, right at the beginning of Robert's Rebellion, the young Gerold Grafton was made Lord. Only fourteen at the time, he had sharp enough wits and a strong enough arm, but his youth and inexperience made him rather unsuited to the position. He was manipulated into accepting punishments that were far too stringent for his father's 'disloyalty' to the House of Arryn. Punishments that should not have been dealt at all considering the royalist victory, a fact which left a sting in Gerold's conscience. In the early years of his rule
he relied heavily on advice and counsel, no small part of which came from Lord Shett, House Grafton's principal bannerman who had also been ostracised slightly for their support of the royalists. The two Houses grew closer through this, and three years later at the age of seventeen, Gerold married Alayne Shett.

Over the years Gerold has worked contently to strengthen and grow Gulltown, and some years ago began the constructing of a small fleet of ships in order to protect the large volume of merchant trade flowing to and from the city. This endeavour was helped somewhat by Lord Gerold's younger brother Daemon marrying into the cadet branch of Arryn's which operate from Gulltown. Though seen as uncouth by their cousins, they are quite wealthy and well connected, and through favourable deals and permissions they have been brought to support the Grafton's in no small degree.
Now with the question of Arryn succession on the table, House Grafton will be pushing for their friend's claim to be heard.

295: Monford begins to grow sick, asking the King to allow him to return home, taking his children and wife with him. Leaving his position open, which is sadly taken by an Ironborn.

297: His illness grows worse with time, leaving the once powerful man bedridden and broken.

298: Monford is incredibly still alive, bedridden and too weak to even feed himself. His days are numbered, while his son prepares to take over his father's position as Lord all be it reluctantly.

Personal History since 282 AC:

I put a bit more work into characters I plan to use more like Valarr and didn't put much history in for his sister as I dont plan to have her be a main character in whatever storyline I join and or create.

Just differentiate between the knights and the levy, i.e. give me some concrete figures on the knights (even if you lowball off of the ORBAT in the OP). Other than that, accepted.

@Dunree nice to see the app coming along.

@Rygondria Very good. Pleased to hear it.
