No, I don't believe they did.
The absolute madman that is the B R O N Z E Y O H N is certainly alive.

None named on the OP, but possibly at the Trident if that's what you decide.

viserys vs rhaenys succession crisis incoming

[Dunree]

I added an extra brother to the household if that's okay, just to get some action at the Wall as well


Name: Ser Daemon Grafton
Titles: The Tower Knight
Culture: Valeman / Andal
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Appearance: The Tower Knight
Allegiance: House Grafton
Profession: Knight in Service to House Grafton
Religion: Faith of the Seven
Family Members:
- his wife, Elysa, formerly of the Gulltown Arryns (28)
-- their son, Jon, (11)
-- their daughter, Alysa (8)

- his brother, Lord Gerold Grafton (30)
-- his wife, Alayne, formerly of House Shett (27)
-- their son, Marcus (12)
-- their son, Manford (10)
-- their daughter, Julia (8)
-- their son, Gyles (7)

- his brother, Domnyc, a Brother of the Night's Watch (36)
Personal History since 282 AC:

The youngest brother of the Grafton household, Daemon was only twelve years old at the time of Robert's Rebellion, and so had no part to play. With his brother as lord and no clear heir, Daemon himself was groomed for the position lightly, but to no great extent. He much preferred training in the yard as opposed to the study. It served him well however, as he earned himself quite a bit of repute in a few tourneys. Not just from the House Grafton sigil, but also from his almost lanky height he earned the nickname of the Tower Knight, which he wears quite proudly.

Before he even earned his knightly status however, his lordly brother organised a marriage for him, to a daughter of the branch of Gulltown Arryns,
a cadet branch of the Lord Paramount house and a very well connected merchant family. The marriage secured support for Grafton control over the area and opened a multitude of new opportunities for the Houses and the port city of Gulltown. Ser Daemon is largely disinterested in politics and commerce, though not dim-witted, he is much happier to simply carry out the orders of others in his duty as a knight.

Name: Ser Domnyc Grafton
Titles: None
Culture: Valeman/Andal
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Appearance: Ser Domnyc
Allegiance: The Night's Watch
Profession: Brother of the Night's Watch
Religion: Faith of the Seven
Family Members:
- his brother, Ser Daemon (28)
-- his wife, Elysa, formerly of the Gulltown Arryns (28)
--- their son, Jon, (11)
--- their daughter, Alysa (8)

- his brother, Lord Gerold Grafton (30)
-- his wife, Alayne, formerly of House Shett (27)
-- their son, Marcus (12)
-- their son, Manford (10)
-- their daughter, Julia (8)
-- their son, Gyles (7)

Personal History since 282 AC:

The eldest son of the late Lord Marq Grafton, Domnyc was an anointed knight and twenty years of age when Gulltown was taken.
Naturally he fought alongside his father in the defence of the city, but was sadly wounded quite badly in the fighting. It took him a number of weeks to recover, by which time it was decided by the leadership of the Vale that he should not be allowed to rule as Lord of House Grafton and Gulltown,
considering his involvement in the fighting. Unwilling to pass the sentence of execution, Ser Domnyc was instead sent to the Wall to serve as a member of the Night's Watch.

Almost sixteen years later and Ser Domnyc has settled in to his role at the Wall, though he does still occasionally think of home. Neither of his brothers have been to visit him in the time since he has joined, nor he them.

Oh, apologies, Dunree - that should be fine, aye.

It's even better when you consider that Viserys is from the North (Ice) and Rhaenys is of Dorne (sun, fire, etc). Stark-Targ-Martell == the prince that was promised???

But alas. Rhaenys would rather kill everyone in King's Landing than marry her bastard half-brother.

Meh, wouldn't be the first arranged marriage in Westeros. I'm sure Rhaegar would rather the realm be at peace than his children be happily married

[Lithra]

Well this just got interesting. Have to figure out how I want to start off.

Oh I apologise!

[The Valyria Empire]

Well, that just happened. Guess I’ll chalk up Aegon as one of Westeros’ biggest idiots.

Like, no seriously. Does he not realize how much more he can do for the realm and against the incoming threat as King than in the Night’s Watch? I assumed Aegon while raised around this prophecy he must fulfill also was raised like his father to see being a King as “not his right but Aegon knows kingship is his duty, that a king must put his people first, and live and rule for them“

But eh, that’s just me. I guess this is a fine twist, I’ll work on a post. Try to have to it up tonight or tomorrow hopefully. Not sure really what to write for Arthur or Edric as I don’t know Rhaegar’s reaction yet.

[Lithra]

I have an idea where I want to go now. Will have it up tonight or tomorrow myself.

Call it a hunch but I don't think the news would have traveled that far south yet?

But Edric and Arthur are traveling with Rhaegar, so they would know about it

Rhaegar's immediate (and I mean immediate) reaction is to lock everything down, demand all of his sers be sworn to silence about this, and to haul Aegon and the LC into a private room to discuss. There, the King will demand the LC not accept Aegon's vows, or that the the LC release Aegon from his vows -- possibly threatening the LC in the process with the threat of withdrawing support. Afterwards, Rhaegar will be intensely broody and extremely hair-trigger angry, and he'll depart the next day ASAP, riding towards Winterfell. I imagine you would be able to slip a few ravens out, but the king's ravens would be placed under guard by the Kingsguard.

During the ride to Winterfell, he'll be sullen, silent, and demand to be left alone to his own thoughts. The NW's reaction depends on Of The Quendi

I think the nightswatch take their vows in front of either a sept or weirwood, so it could be argued that because Aegon didn't his vows aren't acceptable

EDIT: From the wiki; "When recruits are considered ready to take the black, they say their vows either in a sept or before a heart tree."

Recruits also seem to have to be 'considered ready' as well, so Aegon might not technically even be able to join until the LC deems him ready to take the vows

I am loyal to the Targaryens, no need to send out ravens. Arthur will follow Rhaegar no matter what (cause BFFS), and I wanted to know. My post will begin with the lock down, Arthur grabbing pushing Edric out of the room and others. Then either we could have Whent stand guard at the door or Arthur, with the other hauling Aegon and Jeor into the either the King's Tower or perhaps the Lord Commander's Tower.

Also a King can remove someone from their Night's Watch vows, so Rhaegar could easily remove this.
