Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice & Fire [OOC] -Concluded-

[Cruxa]

true, but no one said it was a loving marriage.

If it ain't for love the why would a Bastard marry some knight?
Especially since that bastard is of a great house

another good point.

[Vladivostokava]

Can someone review my app and give me tips and ideas. Ill get back to you after a nap. I went drinking with my friends.

[Great Franconia and Verana]

Will Stannis be offering Renly terms as he did in the real Lore? If he does, and Renly accepts, its basically game over for the Lannister's, and the end of the War.

If Renly accepts that would be very out of character. Renly will still have the bigger army. And it will take a while for the North and what's left of the Riverlands to reach KL. Renly has access to the Rose Road and thus can reach the capital faster than the King's Road can.

Thus bigger army diplomacy (not counting shadow babies)

Well, even with the bigger army, a siege is no easy task, especially the capital.

Well, even with the bigger army, a siege is no easy task, especially the capital.

The Crownlands have a very small military though, and the primary defence of King's Landing usually falls to the Gold Cloaks, who, against professional soldiers, would get shredded.

Renly, who has a military of 35,000 Stormlanders, and close to 100,000 Reachmen, could seize the Crownlands in a heartbeat.
What the Joffrey/Tywin player's need to do is to somehow get Stannis and Renly fighting each other, because even Tywin cannot fight a war on three fronts.

On a different note, Oberyn v Beric, how easy of a task would the Red Viper have in this bout do you guys think?

[The Novakian Empire]

His performance in the tilts was pretty shit, so i'd say oberyn would tear him to shreds if they went head to head.

He was beaten by Thoros of Myr at the real Tourney, who I would put below Oberyn by far.

[Jhet]

Well we have seen that the capital can be seized surprisingly swiftly. It took what, a couple hours without any real siege engines for Stannis to overwhelm the defenders? And that is after having his fleet burnt to a crisp which resulted in the near enough wiping out of the vanguard (the knights and maa on the boats) who were meant to establish a beachhead.

EDIT: damn those riverlords are gonna be angry when they hear of those plans.

Biography:

The old soldier of the ford was born in the time of King Aerys, of that no one can deny, he was a squire for his father who taught him much of the arts of war. He was a quick learner who knew what was needed. However he is someone who will do what he must to protect his family. But the Trioches as one of the favored houses of Targaryen know the rewards of loyalty and duty to the Targaryens. Hence only when the Northmen had surrounded Eaglesford and word reached the castle that Tywin Lannister had promptly sacked the capitol and killed the Royal Family had seen him being a man without a family. He and his wife had been struggling to have a child for a long time. Several miscarrages had not been kind to his beloved wife. A Frey as his father believed that having favor with the second house of the riverlands was good. Even though the Trioches keep the old Gods they are not above the use of various things to get there way.

Though Aron was hesitant in marrying a Frey with the young Lord of that house being a womanizer per the odd reports he got. He grew to love his wife and he would mourn the loss of several children. Not in the cradle, several miscarriages. When his eldest son was born as well as the rest of his children around the time of the Greyjoy rebellion where he proved the loyalty of House Trioch to the Baratheons of Kings Landing by being close to Barristan Selmy in the combat at Great Wyck with the Lord Commander and him become friends.

Now he will watch his eldest son ride in his fourth tourney and move to speak to Eddard Stark.

History of the House (At least two well written paragraphs please):
House Trioch of Eaglesford is a House that has been ever ready to serve. They rose to prominence in the time of Aegon the Conqueror with their actions as stewards for the Rosbys. Urging them to be quick about bending the knee to Aegon lest they be found wanting. The Trioch name was made in the service of the Old Gods though they were under House Hoare conversion though came swiftly after the Rosbys gave them favor. With Family legends speaking of resistance to Andals and others of resistance to the Red Kings of the Dreadfort. As ancient Knights stripped of their title they had wandered.

The founder of the House was knighted by the Lord of Rosby when Aegon took over and the Trioches were knights for many generations serving the House of Rosby until the time of the Blackfyre Rebellion. In the Aftermath of the rebellion they were given jurisdiction over the place where Daemon Blackfyres castle once stood. They built their seat across the river from where Dragonstounge was. The Trioches had served as stewards to the Black Dragon many proclaimed. The answer as to how they survived is closely guarded by the House.

They would go on to provide several prominent knights to the Kingsguard. Ser Ryder Trioch who fought alongside Bloodraven in the last time that he would do battle with Bittersteel.

Lord Commander Olmund Trioch who would see Duncan the Tall named to the Kingsguard.

Ser Calvan Trioch who would be among those of the Kingsguard who died at Summerhall. He was found outside the palace having appearently walked while burning. Dieing without a sound. However it was said he mouthed something.

In this current age the House of Trioch a proud family that owed everything to the Targaryens and was loyal to the house during the time of Roberts Rebellion. They bent the knee when the war was lost and pledged their fealty to Robert Baratheon fighting with honor and distinction in the bloody war for Great Wyck under the Lord Commander of Robert Baratheons Kingsguard, the last of the Targaryen whitecloaks with his honor in tact. The Triochs were appalled at the deaths of Elia and her children and respect the Starks for their actions.

Wait, why?
It'll benefit pretty much everyone aside from the freys, who no-one likes. If they tried to rebel, you bet your ass they'll get stomped into the dust.

The canal is a good idea, but it's enormously expensive and it'll take alot of time. I'd say scrap it, and leave everything else. Use the money from the iron bank to supplement the funds the riverlords have to contribute to other projects, and return anything else from the loan to delay the interest on the loan for a bit.

I say the melee is just combat roleplay, single elimination

The big issue and randomness like this is that it does not allow for skill to factor in. It would not make much sense for say, Lothar Brune to come out on top of a field with competitors like Loras Tyrell, and Sandor Clegane.

Stannis would always offer the terms, but if this goes down a similar route to the canon then I am not sure why Renly would accept the terms. Unless things change a lot then Renly will still have the bigger army.

In fact Renly would likely have double the men Stannis had if he were to attack King's Landing. And he could have far more if he so wished (but maintaining an army over 40,000 would be very difficult at this time). He even has the Redwyne Fleet in place of the Royal Fleet.

Stannis does have two shadowbabies, course. When will they see use? Who knows.

He was beaten by Thoros of Myr at the real Tourney, who I would put below Oberyn by far.

Do people care about the melee and Archery?

Also, Dentali, you sure about all that? The amount of money all of that will require is stupendous, in a time where both war and winter are on the horizon it does not seem like the best idea to nigh-bankrupt yourself and your vassals. You then need to spend to maintain the castle, the bridge (which the Freys would go crazy at as you have destroyed their most likely primary source of income) and the canal, which will also likely enrage the lords who are being made to pay for it in addition to watermills and guilds. Plus you have the Tullies policing their waters which does seem overbearing.

Good! Though you might want to be aware that Renly was sitting with Eddard, in case you did not want him privy to their little talk.

Ah I totally forgot Renly was with Ned, I will edit the post accordingly to reference him.
Its not like Oberyn really needs to keep his motivations a secret, every Lord and Lady in the Land knows how much the Martell's hate the Lannisters.

And in the canon melee Thoros of Myr won because people were afraid to fight his wildfire covered sword. So how do we factor things like fear in, if its done randomly

You play oberyn pretty well, franc.
Also, guys, how many more jousts before we can get to the melee?
[edit]
Nevermind, i checked my history and found the challonge thing.
If anyone else is wondering, it's 5.

Thanks, I like Oberyn, he gives literally 0 shits about anything except his family.

I'll make a response tonight. Ned will pull Oberyn to the side so that they might discuss this in private.

Also Dentali, this isn't a faction RP please do not list off decrees that the Riverlands introduce, have a character discuss these decrees. Also I'm going to have to retcon one thing.

The Order of the Trident has to be removed. You are not an independent Kingdom thus I will not allow a lordship to have his personal knightly order.

Edit: After re reading that, the Tullys are going to be in huge debt. The Tullys aren't rich, and I doubt the Riverlords will enjoy the greater taxes. That Iron Bank loan is going to kill the Riverlands before the Lannisters ever arrive.
