Point still stands, as of right now, Volantis is currently recking the Free Cities.

At our starting point they've only taken Lys and Myr. If I recall the Stormlands have a marriage alliance with Tyrosh. Besides if Pentos, Braavos, the Stormlands, and Tyrosh all team they should be fine. Heck maybe I'll do what Volantis can't and found the New Valyrian Empire instead of taking Westeros.

Orys was a bastard until the taking of the Stormlands. Once Argliac was slain and the people of Storm's End presented his daughter to Orys, Aegon legitimized Orys and granted him Storm's End and the Stormlands. Orys would take the words and sigil of the Durrandons but keep his name of Baratheon.

Anybody making a Braavosi App? If not prepare for a Braavosi house, most likely will be Sealord, but I could just be a noble family too

Oh I know that, but I wonder how things will turn out. Especially if Orys ends up becoming Lord Paramount of another region (never know).

I do wonder if the Targaryens, and their associates plan on giving up the Valyrian faith or keeping it? Am playing a CK2 AGOT where they refused to convert to the faith of the seven.

Pretty interesting really.

Still waiting for that mod to update. I enjoyed having the colonize Valyrian sub mod, taking Essos and putting my capital back in Valyria. Also the Valyrian religion is really cool and I wish Martin would give more info on it. I'll leave that up to Nux to decide as I believe Aegon didn't give a hoot about religion (he has cynical in the mod) and went to his sisters like "I'm gonna convert cause that's what everybody on this continent follows (like 80% of it) but maybe we'll keep the religion would be very interesting.

The CK2 AGOT mod update released the 11th this month gives a 10% vassal opinion for Valyrian rulers since the faith itself wasn't on a campaign of mass comversion.

The Main power of the Braavosi are at Sea with war fleet second to none with perhaps 200 warships to it's beck and call not to mention an even larger mercantile fleet
History of the House (At least two well written paragraphs please): The Marorans are a relatively new merchant nobility, arising after the great uncloaking after it's founding father, Aros Maroran, a merchant man whom owned a ship and carried goods of dubious origin and as among the first officially Braavosi ships to reach the far shore on the shadow of Asshai and return with it's wealth. It was this wealth which bought Aros his own estate and ships and crews and trade goods to continue his business. In comparison to the keyholders to the Iron Bank families, many of whom were very wealthy themselves. The Marorans and several other merchant families (magisters) were seen as upstarts but were soon accepted as the wealth and prosperity they brought to Braavos. The Marorans were accepted as magisters of Braavos and through business guile. Aros made them family very wealthy and have their on share in the Iron Bank and more.

Of course that as some time ago and like water, wealth ebbs and flows, the Maroran's wealth and prosperity was no different. Since the time of the uncloaking one Sealord of Maroran had reigned until now, this sealord, named Belero was known for sinking the last great Sarnori War Fleet prior to it's destruction. The Current head of the family, Sealord Haren Maroran has seen a great amount of wealth fall into Maroran hands with cunning and beguiling business deals and buying out smaller magister famileis as well as create cadet magisters. Under him has also seen a greater militarization in foresight of the wars wreaking havoc southern Essos.

Appearance (Picture appreciated): Despite his age and wealthy upbringing, Haren has a stout body and calloused hands, in his youth he was scoffed at for his unorthodox appearance. With a finely trimmed and pulled back graying-black hair and a short trimmed beard of the same nature. His skin is a dark tan with plenty of wrinkles from being out in the sun. What sticks out is his clear, green eyes which bear a quiet or intelligent ferocity.
Personality: Haren is a patient man, and firmly ambitious and clever. He is extremely diligent and undeniably passionate for Braavos, progress, and improvement, that is of himself, his family, his business and the city. He is kind and just to his fellow Braavosi and ferocious to it's enemies.
Skills: Haren is a great business man, and with it a great administrator to boot, he also bears a great amount of charisma and diplomatic skill (negtiation) as well as plenty of intrigue and plotting to spare...he did become Sealord afterall

Haren is a sea-man true and true and a skilled admiral, however when it battle leaves coastal combat, Haren has experience, relying only on his education and quick wit and cunning to get him through.

Biography (At least a well written Paragraph please): Haren was born at a difficult time for the Maroran family, a trade fleet which his father had put a great amount of trust and wealth into was attacked and stolen by pirates on it's trade mission. The Maroran family estate as growing smaller as his father had to sell more land, cursing the way he as raised and swearing he would raise his children different. Haren was put to work day in and day out, some days he would be studying and learning the art of business, administration, and leading. Other days he was out with House Maroran men, either on the docks, on the ships, or in the practice yards. It was then Haren found himself interested in water-dancing and the sea.

As Haren became a young man, he became a captain for his father's fleets and led them very successfully on trading operations and took the fight back to pirates and raiders when needed. But when he was back home, he was a water-dancer, known because he did not dress in flamboyance but in the dark, plain, but fine clothes he always wore. He was developing quite the name for himself when a young and new courtesan caught his eye, or perhaps they caught each-other's eyes and developed an interest in one another and a relationship budded.

It was then that Haren's life would spin as his father led a trade expedition only to get lost in the smoking sea, putting the family in debt and a young magister in charge, his younger brother was only 12 at the time. While he was 19 that courtesan that he loved abandoned her old ways and married the new magister, her name was Serylla. From then on a success story began, they together bore three children and raised them, Haren brought the family out of debt and brought in more wealth than before seen by the family thanks to his business tact. Eventually the old sealord died and the knives came out, due to his wealth, Haren literally bought weaker magisters own family and business into voting for him and making wealth for him in contracts that were equitable. Thus the new Sealord came to be and the challenges that have faced him for the past 20 years are arising to a whole new level with the threat of the Volantenes, not to mention the last of the Valyrians in Dragonstone.

Well, we've got Volantis, Braavos, and Pentos almost ready and waiting in the wings *Rivalry intensifies*

I have been thinking, and House Bloodstone of the Island of Bloodstone might end up trying to take over Volantis and use the ensuing chaos to seize power of the Neo-Valyrian Freehold, staving off the free cities with the promise that he wont invade them.

Volantis is pretty far from Bloodstone, wouldn't it make more sense to conquer Lys, Myr and Tyrosh so the army isn't spread too far apart

Warg has a point, you're better off uniting the Pirate Lords of the Stepstones and then basically forming the Nine Penny King alliance but like 200 years before.
