*Ser Damion Lannister surveyed the host arrayed before him. Mainly men-at-arms, Knights and Lords, levies, and hired hands. The Lannisters had been quick to rally what captains they can. The Crakehalls, Lannister’s themselves, Staffords, Baneforts, and others, will provide commanders for the host. They would follow Lord Tywin’s orders, monotonous as they are. The passes into the Westerlands were rough affairs. The mountains bottled the roads into narrows points, where Lannister fortresses dominate the passes. The Host begin to march to every point into the Westerlands, to seal it off. Work also begins to hire men to form standing guards in the mountain passes, and work to fortify them further.

**The Lannisters will continue to rally men to the Lion banner. Based in Lannisport and Casterly Rock, the Lords of the West are not required to send even more levies. They will stay home to prepare for the winter.  Casterly Rock will also open her treasury. Famed Lannister wealth is my no means dwindling. Mercenaries, hedge knights, peasants, they will all be given coin to join the army. The Lannister navy is tasked with keeping the sea routes open, to allow more Mercenary bands from afar to travel to Lannisport for this famed army that is being paid.

 

***Elsewhere the Lords and Knights of the Westlands are also called into action. They will protect their own lands, and assist their neighbors. They will begin to counter the Stark’s on their own land, on their own terms. Not giving the Wolf King a pitched battle, these small bands will harry him at every opportunity. A lesson well learned from the peasants without banners.

***The famed wealth of Casterly Rock will also be used to begin and build her own uses. Master Armorers displaced from war, craftsmen, artist, they are all offered patronage in Casterly Rock, and safety from the growing wars. Already a jewel, Lannister Gold will begin to turn Casterly Rock/Lannisport into the West’s cultural center and seat of rule. Work also begins to have whatever men not away at war start to prepare for the coming winter.

 

Of Tywin not much is heard besides his orders.

(The rallied military might of Hightower)

 

“War rages, my Lord.” Maester Yrreus told Leyton Hightower. Acknowledging it with a nod, the Lord stood up, in the chambers at the top of the High Tower. Looking outside the window, the Lord sighed. “Maester Yrreus… Rally the man. Prepare for the Tyrell call… The Hightowers go to war…” The maester nodded.
“Anything else, my Lord?”

“Summon the council…”

  • Ser Garth ‘Greysteel’ Hightower, Leyton’s second son, is sent to the Arbor, to contact House Redwyne on the behest of Lord Leyton for a possible alliance, which is to be concretized by the marriage of Lady Lynesse Hightower to Ser Hobber Redwyne. (MOD)

  • Ser Humfrey Hightower, fourth son to Layton, is sent to the island of Greyshield, the seat of House Grimm, to offer the house vassaldom under House Hightower. (MOD)

House Reed

Spoiler

 

 

[Happening near the end of the two month turn].

 

They stare off through the reeds into the distance, the four squatting men. Looking off into the distance. A man, an Ironborn nonetheless, stands atop the Children’s Tower, looking south and grimacing right over their heads towards the Causeway. Edric Peat points towards the man, maybe three hundred feet away.

 

“That one, he is their Lord. Kill that one first.”

 

“As you wish, mi-lord, I’ll shoot for his head.”

 

In the months since Edric began his watch, reports had come to him that the Ironborn had seized Moat Cailin from the undefended north. Leaving one hundred and fifty men to guard the Causeway, Edric had to rallied the Greengoods, Quaggs, and Blackmyres. Now he squats in the mud with four hundred and fifty of his brothers. They craft small islands in the mud, sharpening their arrows, and painting their bodies.

 

“Mandon, you will setup half the men on the west. Tyana, you will take the others on the east. The siege of Moat Cailin will begin. Day and night, fire your arrows, poison their wells, I shall travel to Quagg and request fresh poisons.”

 

“Mi-lord, these ‘Ironborn’ will see their last days here in our castle, I’ll shoot their commanders myself.”

 

“Hah! Mi-lord, I’ll tell my Lizard-Hunters to throw wastes over the walls at night, everyday they will grow weaker.”

 

“Have no doubts, the sooner they run from this castle, the sooner our Northern brothers can return home for winter.”

 

The three Crannogmen solemnly look to the water and mouth prayers long forgotten to those outside the Neck. The following days, which turn to weeks, turn to months, the Crannogmen begin a siege of Moat Cailin. Back in Greywater Watch, Howland sees these events unfolding, praying to his Godswood a swift end to the war, and to his children’s safety.


Actions

 

- One of the Crannogmen’s top marksmen crawls through the bog and attempts to the shoot the Ironborn leader who is staring out into the Neck.

  

- Four hundred and fifty Crannogmen lay siege to Moat Cailin, setting roadblocks and traps on the roads leading north and south during the nights. Additionally they constantly harass with poisoned arrows, especially looking for leaders. Finally, they throw waste, mostly human, over the walls at night.

 

- Howland Reed and his wife pray to the Old Gods.

The Battle of the Fords - 8/13 - 8/20

 

(the) Battle of the Fords was an outstanding victory for the Riverlands as the battle ensured that Lord Tywin’s army couldn’t cross the River to attack the King from the back. The first battle started with a Lannister force attempting to cross various locations between Riverrun and Red Fork. House Mallister and Brax would repel the small force with bows and scorpions.

 

As the first battle ended the battle at Stone Mill began where the Vanguard led by Gregor Clegane and Vargo Hoat managing to cross the river. Once the Vanguard took their foothold they'd be met with nothing but arrows while a shield wall was formed by the Tully host The battle continued to rage on with the Tully’s holding strong before the scorpions from the woods made their appearance beginning to target the main leader of the Vanguard, the Mountain.

 

After a long few days, the battle was finally won with Lord Tywin calling a quick withdrawal and Vargo Hoat along with Armory Loch captured, and Gregor Clegane’s whereabouts unknown.

As Ser Edmure Tully would arrive back at Riverun being met with the citizens outside and inside cheering upon his victory over the Lannisters at the Fords.

“My lord, welcome back to Riverrun. As you’ve noticed many of the refugees were able to make it to Riverrun, though we do need to get them placed elsewhere for winter.”

 

Ser Edmure Tully nods towards Ser Desmund.

 

“I understand, Ser Desmund, now wait for me in the Lord’s Hall as I will be there shortly to discuss on such matter.” Ser Edmure replies towards before Ser Desmund  returns with a simple reply “Yes, my lord.”

Roose sits in the lord hall of Harrenhal. In the past month he's taken the Lannisters stronghold in the Riverlands, and they’ve won a victory at the trident. He looks around the table of the lords gathered. Harrion Karstark sits right besides him, Robert Glover across the table and Ser Helman Tallhart on the far end.

Roose gestures to the servant girl, “Fetch us some waters please, we’re going to be here for awhile.” The girl quickly nods before slipping out.

Harrion is the first to speak, “We’ve taken Harrenhal the mountain is dead, I say we march our army right to King Landing.”

“Lord Glover and Ser Tallhart will march against Duskendale, maybe we can put some pressure on the Crownlands.” The young girl would return with a pitcher of water, and fills the cups of the lords. Roose raise his in the air, “A toast to the North I pray we see it again.”

A few days after Lord Glover and Harrion left, a ravin arrives. “A wedding? Seems we must be on the move again.”

HOUSE OF ARRYN

<strong class="selflink">House Arryn</strong>

As High as Honour

 


 

Image result for Eyrie

 


 

The council of the lords of the Vale was convened at the behest of the lords. High above in one of the highest towers of the Eyrie met the court of the Vale, the Houses of Belmore, Corbray, Egen, Grafton, Hersy, Hunter, Melcom, Redfort, Royce, Templeton, and Waynwood. The winds of the mountains blowing hard against the ancient stone walls and glass windows, and the moon door standing in the background, serving as a silent reminder of what could happen if you threaten to go against the Lord of the Vale.

 

The Lords were sat facing the throne, where Lysa Arryn sat with an exposed ***, where the mouth of the weak, pale, Robin Arryn sat joyfully suckling the milk of his mother. The first to speak is Harry of the Hunters. “My lord, we have all come to speak with you about a subject which is on all of our minds. We ask for the young Lord to be trained in combat and martial arts with any of our knights, so that he may serve the Kingdom to the best of his abilities.” At the hearing of this, Lisa cast Harry a face of disgust. “Fighting, combat? And risk hurting my child? Never! He will learn to fight when there is a war, when he needs to. For now I must protect him, I must protect the seed.” A Noble of the house of Royce chimes in, “But my Lord! The Lord will be a man soon! He must learn to fight now!” “Nonsense! He is not a man yet! He sti-” Lisa would be interrupted by the squeaky voice of Robin, who screams “Hey! Im very strong and manly! I always win in spin the sword!” His lips would quickly go back to his mother's breast. “Yes you are, little sweetrobin.” His mother would gently kiss her on his dark glossy head. “How can the seed be strong if he does not know how to fight!” shouted an unknown delegate. Lisa would stand up, shouting to the rest of the nobility, “HE IS MY SON, AND I WILL SAY WHEN HE IS READY TO FIGHT, HE IS NOT READY AND WILL BE READY WHEN I SAY SO.” The nobles of the Vale would quiet down, the only thing being heard is the wind wreaking havoc on the old walls and windows on the Eyrie. Lisa would take her seat once more, after being tugged down by Robin, eagerly returning his attention to the breast milk. “Now, we have more important matters at our hand, such as protecting the little lord, and preparing for the winter to come. We need to worry about what will happen in the present, the future will resolve itself, and the seed will be strong…” Lisa would smile kindly to Robins sweet, breastmilk smeared face.

 

 


 

-Preparations are made throughout the vale for winter.

 

-A small detachment of 200 Knights of the vale depart from the Eyrie where they go to the tribal lands of the Burned Man, and attempt to subjugate as many of the tribal savages as possible. The Hill Tribes need to be taught a lesson as they are increasingly becoming bolder and bolder.

 

-Preparations begin to be made for a reconstruction of the navy of the Vale, and resources, funds, and the ability to fund a naval expansion are assessed throughout the Vale, mostly in the fingers and in Gulltown. The nobles of the vale aim to rebuild the navy of the Vale at the end of the winter season.

Margaery Tyrell strode through the courtyard of the castle Bitterbridge, adorned in velvet and silk shaded like coal. She allowed her chin to angle downward, signaling to any wondering that she still mourned her late husband, Renly. A pale  white mare awaited her as it stood beside that steed of her elder brother, Ser Loras.

 

”How things have changed, Loras,” She’d speak softly, glancing to the great host that had formed around them, eager to depart the homely yet cramped keep courtyard. Her brother, matching his golden-brown visage to her own, would smile sadly.

 

“We must all do our duty, sister. We’re not unlike Littlefinger in that. We have to do what we can, to keep ourselves alive. Grandmother has always hammered that in,” He’d finish with a small roll of his eyes.

 

The former ‘queen’ and only daught of Lord Mace Tyrell would nod in agreement, focus now forward as her brother called up for the great host to begin moving onward. To where, nobody was sure, except for the siblings.

 

“Growing Strong...for father, for grandmother, for Loras...and for me.” Margaery would lift her chin upward as she thought on what awaited them at the end of their journey.


Actions:

A host, lead by Ser Loras Tyrell and Lady Margaery Tyrell leaves Castle Bitterbridge for a new destination [MOD]

Lord Mace Tyrell sends Littlefinger back to King’s Landing with an answer. [MOD]

The remaining strength of The Reach arrives at Highgarden [MOD]

The Battle of the Blackwater

 

Music #1

Three days before the sails were first seen in Blackwater Bay, Stannis Baratheon’s vanguard had been camped in the Kingswood. Some of King Joffrey’s war galleys were sent to exchange arrows with the army, though it did not seem to cause much damage. Elsewhere in the Kingswood, the Hand’s savages were harassing scouts and isolated groups of soldiers, but not too a huge effect and they were driven from the woods before the arrival of the remainder of the Host. Each day their drums boomed from the woods, announcing to the city that their time had come. Some in the streets called for Stannis, believing him to have brought food and to be the savior of the city. Others fear that he and his Red Witch will burn them as those on Dragonstone have been burned. Many in the city attempted to ignore what was coming and continue on with their lives, while others fled to the Great Sept of Baelor to pray to the Seven. On the afternoon of the third day, the sails in the distance made it known that judgment had come.

 

Tomasz_Jedruszek_Kings_Landing.jpg

King’s Landing as seen from the Bay

 

On either side of the river, two towers stood looming from the water, one  from the rocks below the Red Keep while the other stood in the Kingswood. While Stannis had posted men around the towers, the moats around the towers made them too difficult to breach directly and the vanguard had yet to truly bother with them prior to the arrival of the main host. As Stannis’s fleet swept into the bay, the fiery heart of the Lord of Light could be seen emblazoned on them all and hundreds of trumpets sounded from the ships announcing their arrival to the city. Ser Imry Florent led the fleet from the Fury and was flanked on either side by the Lord Steffon and the Stag of the Sea, all dipping two hundred hours. The remainder of the Westerosi ships were hundreds and went back roughly two lines, each made up of twenty ships so as to prevent the oars from tangling. Ser Davos Seaworth was in command of the second line, while lesser lords and knights commanded the third line of hundreds. The Myrish contingent would follow the Westerosi ships, made up of smaller ships. The rear guard was comprised of ships commanded by the Lyseni sellsword, Salladhor Saan. Ser Imry led his fleet confidently into the mouth of the Blackwater, though the flow of the river was against them.

 

Within Maegor’s Keep, those unfit to fight and noble enough to be inside the Red Keep would hide from the oncoming assault under the protection of Queen Cersei. King Joffrey had left the keep to lead the forces on the wall. Neither of his siblings remained in the city, with the Princess Myrcella in Dorne and Prince Tommen’s location being unknown. Queen Cersei and Joffrey’s betrothed, Sansa Stark remained in the keep. Sansa’s calming presence was welcome to the many who feared for their lives, and songs were sung by many of the women calling for the Mother’s mercy. Ser Ilyn Payne stood in the corner with the greatsword Ice displayed in front of him, nearly as tall as he was. His cold gaze analyzed the room, waiting for the worst to come.

 

Along the city walls, men waited, thousands of the Gold Cloaks lined the walls, manning scorpions, catapults, and trebuchets, all aimed towards the Blackwater.

 

As the first line passed the first tower, arrows and firepots already rained from above. They did little beyond slowing men and causing fear, but as the first of the ships landed it meant little. From the city walls flew the Lion of Lannister and Stag of Baratheon, but below all that could be seen was blood. The first man to die was taken overboard by an arrow from the deck of the Cat. Flames began to rise on the decks of the Queen Alysanne and Dragonsbane as the pots of pitch fell from above, but the oarsmen below deck pressed on. As the ships moved further, the first collided. The farthest ships towards the front were boarded first, while those nearest the northern edge of the Blackwater began to drive towards the shore. The Devotion was the first to land, and with it came the thundering of horses hooves as they flew from the ships. Ships continued to land on the ground with some others continuing up the river. Black Betha rammed one ship, and another was sunk by the Pride of Driftmark sunk to Lannister river runners. Suddenly, booms could be heard throughout the battlefield. Towards the northern shore, Stannis’s men could be seen using large metal drums to fire at the gates, and to some effect as the Mud Gate is severely damaged. As the third line crossed past the towers, one of the ships with the metal drums, the Swordfish, launched a shot at a drifting ship. Within seconds the water was engulfed in green flame.

 

T_Jedruszek_BattleoftheB_ship.jpg
Wildfire engulfs the ships outside of King’s Landing.

 

In the darkness of night, the Hand of the King’s shadow was both green and huge upon the walls of the Red Keep, Tyrion Lannister stood atop the walls as the Blackwater burned. He stood beside the Hound and King Joffrey, as they prepared for another sortie out into the carnage. The next sortie from the city once more and met them on a mass of ships which had been so wedged together within the river that a bridge had formed between the banks. The boldest of the Baratheon host led the charge across this bridge and met the Dwarf’s sortie in the middle of the river. As the two forces clashed, it became clear the cities’ defense had been lost outside the city, and many fled towards the walls before the Mud Gate was slammed shut. Within the city, the King had fled from the walls to the Red Keep by the order of the Kings Guard and not long after about a third the Gold Cloaks fled from their posts. House Stokeworth and Rosby continued to man the wall with what remained of the Gold Cloaks, and engineers fired the ordinance down below as the vanguard reached the northern side of the river.

 

At the mouth of the bay, the southern tower had been destroyed by a ship from the second Westerosi line with the metal drums, allowing ships to flee the carnage in the river and recuperate in the bay. Cheers arose from the decks of the ships as the chain sunk back into the water. Soon after, the Myrish and Lyseni ships began to ferry the remainder of Stannis’s host onto the northern bank, where the vanguard was at work destroying the gates. Both the Fury and the Black Betha, the ship commanded by Davos Seaworth, had not been seen since the explosion of the wildfire and none of the ships from the first line and few from the second line were expected to have survived, but many in the third line and those who were not past the chain boom had survived and found safety from the flames, but not for long as the bridge of ships quickly broke apart, with some sinking right into the black water, while the flaming masses of some now swiftly brought wildfire farther down the Blackwater. Most of the Myrish and Lyseni fleets were able to notice this and quickly landed on the northern bank or left the bay, but others in the third line of Westerosi and those farther up the river were caught in the wreckage and dragged down the river, and in the worst cases, the wildfire swept across the unexpecting ships.

Wildfire along the shores of the Blackwater.

 

Within the city, chaos began to arise as the sound of the ram boomed down River Row and both the eastern section of River Row and the Hook had been manned with the hosts of Rosby and Stokeworth men, as well as a variety of sellswords and those who remained from the City Watch. Their defense seemed futile as reports from the wall became grimmer, and soon enough the gates came clattering down. The first men through the gate were surprised to be hit head-on with scorpion bolts, but soon after the Rosby and Stokeworth men charged forward, meeting the Baratheon infantry at full force. Further to the west, the King’s Gate was soon reported to have men massing as well and was being hammered with rams as well. As the fiery heart of the Lord of Light began to flood into the southern portion of the city, blood soon swept through the city. And River Row was alight with fighting. Thousands clashed on the street as infantry and armored horse swept through the city. As they continued in, the forces began to inch back towards the keep.

 

Music #2

As Baratheon men flooded the lower city, Lannister men scrambled for torches and began to flee for the keep, planning to fulfill Tywin’s last plan along the River Row, but as they went to their posts down River Run, the Kings Gate fell and many were overwhelmed, and some were found with stocks of wildfire, unwilling to commit themselves and millions to their deaths. The eastern portion of the city falls swiftly and with little resistance the armored horse brought by House Florent floods the eastern city, finding little resistance to speak of. The Street of Steel and Visenya’s Hill are captured, but as the two hosts near the Red Keep the fighting becomes more intense and the remainder of the City Watch and Crownsland troops begin to take up defensive positions around the keep. The Great Sept of Baelor falls with almost no fight, but those within are rounded up the Florent Host and the Sept itself is ransacked. As the army of Stormlanders continues through River Run towards the Red Keep, they note that the Great Sept of Baelor seemed to be ablaze, and many believed it to be, knowing the Queen’s family had entered through the King’s Gate and were to take Visenya’s Hill.

 

As the morning began to arrive the eastern portion of the city falls with little more fighting while the western is engulfed and the Red Keep is well fortified and the gate closed. Soldiers had hidden within homes and some began to defect. The last thousand City Watch who remained faithful, and some five hundred Lannister, sellsword, and Crownsland men soon found themselves garrisoned within the Red Keep. It was impossible to know who still remained within the castle. Nearly 12,000 of Stannis’s men had entered the city at this point, and much of it seemed to fall without resistance. Many came out of their homes thanking the men, while others came begging for food.
 

Outside of the city on the southern bank, fighting suddenly begins to erupt as Stannis Baratheon crosses the water beside Salladhor Saan, looking upon his seeming victory. On the southern side of the war his host seemed to be fighting itself, or another force. As the sun rose over the Blackwater, the gold and red of House Lannister could be seen flowing in the distance, as the less than five thousand men who remained are now faced with a host storming in from the eastern Kingswood. As he looks back at the remainder of his army, which consisted of mainly Stormlander cavalry it is being routed by the Lannister Host, who drives it away from the waters edge easily and east towards the coast. The experienced and well trained Lannister host easily smashes the rear guard, capturing much of the remaining supplies and sending thousands fleeing. With their King and much of the leadership across the Blackwater, the rearguard finds itself routed by the Lannister host to the south which takes up defensive positions on the southern edge and within the Kingswood as the day progresses. As they flee they begin to set fire to the remaining supplies before retreating. All of the ships who had been loading men or near the water's edge manage to escape the Lannister’s in time and manage to ferry across more than half of the baggage and supply before the river’s edge is lost. The Lannister host captures a small portion of the supplies and whoever remains of the host, while easily quelling the fire before it spread further than the Kingswood.

In King’s Landing, much of the forces are defeated and the Florent Host begins to stream north to Rhaenys’s Hill in order to secure the Dragon Pit and any remaining Lannisters but finds little resistance beyond some traps and few smallfolk who combat them after hearing of the fire lit at the Great Sept of Baelor. The last major resistance comes from the Red Keep itself, where King Joffrey had last been seen hurling insults from the wall as well as some of the remaining Antler Men, loyalists to Stannis who had been captured before the battle in an attempt at sabotage. He retreated within the castle, and the host awaited the arrival of Stannis Baratheon with little idea of the Lannister host across the river. Atop the wall, crossbowmen exchanged bolts with the Baratheon host below, and pots of pitch continued to rain from above but soon their stock would run out, and the crossbowmen would disappear from the walls. Soon after the gates open, and a single rider appears at the gates, offering their surrender.

 

As Stannis arrives at the Red Keep, he is escorted to Maegor’s Keep where it becomes clear why the garrison had surrendered. Hundreds of bodies littered the floor, made up almost entirely of woman and children. The first man in the room, an Estermont, told the King they found Ser Ilyn Payne standing in the center of the room, blood dripping from the massive greatsword he held. Amongst the confirmed dead within Maegor’s Keep include Ser Osmund Kettleback, a member of the Kingsguard, Grand Maester Pycelle, and the Queen Regent, Cersei Lannister. Amongst the most notable names missing include the Master of Whisperers, three of the Kingsguard, Ser Boros Blount, Ser Mandon Moore, and Sandor Clegane, as well as the Hand, Tyrion Lannister. The last three had not been seen in the city since before the Mud Gates had closed and some thought they saw the Halfman fighting with a White Cloak. King Joffrey Baratheon was last seen atop the walls but had seemingly disappeared, as well as Tommen Baratheon. Sansa Stark was found crying in her room, fearing for her life and having fled the ballroom where Cersei held the nobility. She is brought to Stannis unharmed. Those who survive say that Petyr Baelish never returned to the city with the Lannister host, marking their fate.

 

The Battle of the Blackwater and the resulting Battles of Kings Landing and the Red Keep were costly, resulting in the deaths of thousands on both sides. The City Watch had been shattered and much of the Crownslanders who did not die or bend the knee attempted to flee the city. Two and half thousand Baratheon men died during the crossing and while taking the city, while roughly another five thousand had been left across the Bay, but in the end, the Iron Throne was in the hands of Stannis.

The Battle of the Blackwater

 

Music #1

Three days before the sails were first seen in Blackwater Bay, Stannis Baratheon’s vanguard had been camped in the Kingswood. Some of King Joffrey’s war galleys were sent to exchange arrows with the army, though it did not seem to cause much damage. Elsewhere in the Kingswood, the Hand’s savages were harassing scouts and isolated groups of soldiers, but not too a huge effect and they were driven from the woods before the arrival of the remainder of the Host. Each day their drums boomed from the woods, announcing to the city that their time had come. Some in the streets called for Stannis, believing him to have brought food and to be the savior of the city. Others fear that he and his Red Witch will burn them as those on Dragonstone have been burned. Many in the city attempted to ignore what was coming and continue on with their lives, while others fled to the Great Sept of Baelor to pray to the Seven. On the afternoon of the third day, the sails in the distance made it known that judgment had come.

King’s Landing as seen from the Bay

 

On either side of the river, two towers stood looming from the water, one  from the rocks below the Red Keep while the other stood in the Kingswood. While Stannis had posted men around the towers, the moats around the towers made them too difficult to breach directly and the vanguard had yet to truly bother with them prior to the arrival of the main host. As Stannis’s fleet swept into the bay, the fiery heart of the Lord of Light could be seen emblazoned on them all and hundreds of trumpets sounded from the ships announcing their arrival to the city. Ser Imry Florent led the fleet from the Fury and was flanked on either side by the Lord Steffon and the Stag of the Sea, all dipping two hundred hours. The remainder of the Westerosi ships were hundreds and went back roughly two lines, each made up of twenty ships so as to prevent the oars from tangling. Ser Davos Seaworth was in command of the second line, while lesser lords and knights commanded the third line of hundreds. The Myrish contingent would follow the Westerosi ships, made up of smaller ships. The rear guard was comprised of ships commanded by the Lyseni sellsword, Salladhor Saan. Ser Imry led his fleet confidently into the mouth of the Blackwater, though the flow of the river was against them.

 

Within Maegor’s Keep, those unfit to fight and noble enough to be inside the Red Keep would hide from the oncoming assault under the protection of Queen Cersei. King Joffrey had left the keep to lead the forces on the wall. Neither of his siblings remained in the city, with the Princess Myrcella in Dorne and Prince Tommen’s location being unknown. Queen Cersei and Joffrey’s betrothed, Sansa Stark remained in the keep. Sansa’s calming presence was welcome to the many who feared for their lives, and songs were sung by many of the women calling for the Mother’s mercy. Ser Ilyn Payne stood in the corner with the greatsword Ice displayed in front of him, nearly as tall as he was. His cold gaze analyzed the room, waiting for the worst to come.

 

Along the city walls, men waited, thousands of the Gold Cloaks lined the walls, manning scorpions, catapults, and trebuchets, all aimed towards the Blackwater.

 

As the first line passed the first tower, arrows and firepots already rained from above. They did little beyond slowing men and causing fear, but as the first of the ships landed it meant little. From the city walls flew the Lion of Lannister and Stag of Baratheon, but below all that could be seen was blood. The first man to die was taken overboard by an arrow from the deck of the Cat. Flames began to rise on the decks of the Queen Alysanne and Dragonsbane as the pots of pitch fell from above, but the oarsmen below deck pressed on. As the ships moved further, the first collided. The farthest ships towards the front were boarded first, while those nearest the northern edge of the Blackwater began to drive towards the shore. The Devotion was the first to land, and with it came the thundering of horses hooves as they flew from the ships. Ships continued to land on the ground with some others continuing up the river. Black Betha rammed one ship, and another was sunk by the Pride of Driftmark sunk to Lannister river runners. Suddenly, booms could be heard throughout the battlefield. Towards the northern shore, Stannis’s men could be seen using large metal drums to fire at the gates, and to some effect as the Mud Gate is severely damaged. As the third line crossed past the towers, one of the ships with the metal drums, the Swordfish, launched a shot at a drifting ship. Within seconds the water was engulfed in green flame.

Wildfire engulfs the ships outside of King’s Landing.

 

In the darkness of night, the Hand of the King’s shadow was both green and huge upon the walls of the Red Keep, Tyrion Lannister stood atop the walls as the Blackwater burned. He stood beside the Hound and King Joffrey, as they prepared for another sortie out into the carnage. The next sortie from the city once more and met them on a mass of ships which had been so wedged together within the river that a bridge had formed between the banks. The boldest of the Baratheon host led the charge across this bridge and met the Dwarf’s sortie in the middle of the river. As the two forces clashed, it became clear the cities’ defense had been lost outside the city, and many fled towards the walls before the Mud Gate was slammed shut. Within the city, the King had fled from the walls to the Red Keep by the order of the Kings Guard and not long after about a third the Gold Cloaks fled from their posts. House Stokeworth and Rosby continued to man the wall with what remained of the Gold Cloaks, and engineers fired the ordinance down below as the vanguard reached the northern side of the river.

 

At the mouth of the bay, the southern tower had been destroyed by a ship from the second Westerosi line with the metal drums, allowing ships to flee the carnage in the river and recuperate in the bay. Cheers arose from the decks of the ships as the chain sunk back into the water. Soon after, the Myrish and Lyseni ships began to ferry the remainder of Stannis’s host onto the northern bank, where the vanguard was at work destroying the gates. Both the Fury and the Black Betha, the ship commanded by Davos Seaworth, had not been seen since the explosion of the wildfire and none of the ships from the first line and few from the second line were expected to have survived, but many in the third line and those who were not past the chain boom had survived and found safety from the flames, but not for long as the bridge of ships quickly broke apart, with some sinking right into the black water, while the flaming masses of some now swiftly brought wildfire farther down the Blackwater. Most of the Myrish and Lyseni fleets were able to notice this and quickly landed on the northern bank or left the bay, but others in the third line of Westerosi and those farther up the river were caught in the wreckage and dragged down the river, and in the worst cases, the wildfire swept across the unexpecting ships.

Wildfire along the shores of the Blackwater.

 

Within the city, chaos began to arise as the sound of the ram boomed down River Row and both the eastern section of River Row and the Hook had been manned with the hosts of Rosby and Stokeworth men, as well as a variety of sellswords and those who remained from the City Watch. Their defense seemed futile as reports from the wall became grimmer, and soon enough the gates came clattering down. The first men through the gate were surprised to be hit head-on with scorpion bolts, but soon after the Rosby and Stokeworth men charged forward, meeting the Baratheon infantry at full force. Further to the west, the King’s Gate was soon reported to have men massing as well and was being hammered with rams as well. As the fiery heart of the Lord of Light began to flood into the southern portion of the city, blood soon swept through the city. And River Row was alight with fighting. Thousands clashed on the street as infantry and armored horse swept through the city. As they continued in, the forces began to inch back towards the keep.

 

Music #2

As Baratheon men flooded the lower city, Lannister men scrambled for torches and began to flee for the keep, planning to fulfill Tywin’s last plan along the River Row, but as they went to their posts down River Run, the Kings Gate fell and many were overwhelmed, and some were found with stocks of wildfire, unwilling to commit themselves and millions to their deaths. The eastern portion of the city falls swiftly and with little resistance the armored horse brought by House Florent floods the eastern city, finding little resistance to speak of. The Street of Steel and Visenya’s Hill are captured, but as the two hosts near the Red Keep the fighting becomes more intense and the remainder of the City Watch and Crownsland troops begin to take up defensive positions around the keep. The Great Sept of Baelor falls with almost no fight, but those within are rounded up the Florent Host and the Sept itself is ransacked. As the army of Stormlanders continues through River Run towards the Red Keep, they note that the Great Sept of Baelor seemed to be ablaze, and many believed it to be, knowing the Queen’s family had entered through the King’s Gate and were to take Visenya’s Hill.

 

As the morning began to arrive the eastern portion of the city falls with little more fighting while the western is engulfed and the Red Keep is well fortified and the gate closed. Soldiers had hidden within homes and some began to defect. The last thousand City Watch who remained faithful, and some five hundred Lannister, sellsword, and Crownsland men soon found themselves garrisoned within the Red Keep. It was impossible to know who still remained within the castle. Nearly 12,000 of Stannis’s men had entered the city at this point, and much of it seemed to fall without resistance. Many came out of their homes thanking the men, while others came begging for food.
 

Outside of the city on the southern bank, fighting suddenly begins to erupt as Stannis Baratheon crosses the water beside Salladhor Saan, looking upon his seeming victory. On the southern side of the war his host seemed to be fighting itself, or another force. As the sun rose over the Blackwater, the gold and red of House Lannister could be seen flowing in the distance, as the less than five thousand men who remained are now faced with a host storming in from the eastern Kingswood. As he looks back at the remainder of his army, which consisted of mainly Stormlander cavalry it is being routed by the Lannister Host, who drives it away from the waters edge easily and east towards the coast. The experienced and well trained Lannister host easily smashes the rear guard, capturing much of the remaining supplies and sending thousands fleeing. With their King and much of the leadership across the Blackwater, the rearguard finds itself routed by the Lannister host to the south which takes up defensive positions on the southern edge and within the Kingswood as the day progresses. As they flee they begin to set fire to the remaining supplies before retreating. All of the ships who had been loading men or near the water's edge manage to escape the Lannister’s in time and manage to ferry across more than half of the baggage and supply before the river’s edge is lost. The Lannister host captures a small portion of the supplies and whoever remains of the host, while easily quelling the fire before it spread further than the Kingswood.

The City Watch had been shattered and much of the Crownslanders who did not die or bend the knee attempted to flee the city. Two and half thousand Baratheon men died during the crossing and while taking the city, while roughly another five thousand had been left across the Bay, but in the end, the Iron Throne was in the hands of Stannis.

Brotherhood without Banners

latest?cb=20170531015541

Beric looked out over a convoy of Lannister soldiers. Having his bloodied blade in one hand and a wet cloth in the other. In order to clean the blood of his sword. Really having a flaming sword was quite impractical with cleaning. It made it so that all the blood that stained the blade often dried very quickly. Thus staining the blade and requiring a lot of time and effort in order to keep clean. Sometimes Beric wondered if it was not better to just not light sword on fire, but it helped morale and it was a sign that the lord of light guided him. Which was what he needed most of all, guidance. For he was just a mortal man.

 

Often Beric thought about wheter he was right, or wheter he was fit to lead his men. Seeing the blood, the carnage, it damaged one’s souls, to see what man could be brought down to. Whenever he closed his eyes Beric got haunted by the faces of those who had died under his command. Those who would not return to a wife or child. Those who would stay childless and those who gave in to despair. They were death due to him, if he could have acted better then those men would not be death. Yet he was but a man, a flawed man at that. 

He could not understand why R’hhlor would grant him life whilst he let men like King Robert or Eddard Stark die.

 

Beric’s thoughts soon stopped as a man came to him, though boy was probaply a better description. The boy was sweaty but enthusiastic, Beric noticed the boy had gotten a new sword. Probaply from one of the no longer living Lannister soldiers. The boy spoke. “Captain, we have gotten an assesment of the loot. We have twenty begs of grain, five bags of potato’s, several leather cloaks and about a dozen pieces of armor and swords which are in good conditions. ” Beric nodded pleased at this. This was indeed a good catch, it would feed the Brotherhood for quite some time.  

He then turned to the boy specifically, not knowing much about him though seeing he was one of the few really young lads fighting Lord Beric was interested. “What is your name ?” The boy would look proud at this and quickly respond. “
Garry, Lord Beric” Beric nodded at this, appraising the boy. He seemed like one of the lads that had fled from the mountain, he did not seem like a deserter. Beric spoke. “I don’t think I have seen you around before. Are you one of the refugees ?” The boy nodded, seemingly gittery and enthusiatic due to being addressed by Beric. “Aye m’lord” Beric let out a sad sigh at this, he did not like to be called a lord. He had been a lord once but he was no longer, and after seeing the atrocities commited by lords he did not want to be one any longer. ”Just call me Beric, I prefer not to be called a lord.”Beric then pondered something for a moment, before speaking”Could you tell me something. ?


The boy nodded enthiastically. Beric then responded. “Why did you join the Brotherhood ? There is little glory to be found here. Most of your compatriots are old men and deserters with a good heart. Why would you wish to fight for us when you can just join some other lord and build your own life ?

 

The boy’s face turned harsh at this and he spoke with a voice Beric dreaded, the voice of one who had lost much. “Don’t have anything to go back to, mom and da’ were killed by Northeners whilst ma home was burned by the Mountain.” The boy seemed to have a fire burning in him as he got started on the train of thought and it seemed as if he could not stop. “I’ve seen what the Lords do, they don’ care bout us. They only care about what we can give them. Year after year we hunger as the lords take almost all of our food. Then when we need their help they abandon us or simply mistreat us.” The boy then directly turned his eyes towards Beric, with tears and determination in his eyes. “I don’ wan’ to fight for no Lord. Or forget what they did. As long as they remain this will just keep being repeated again and again. Maybe not this war but the war after that, and the one after that. The lords always fight amongst each other for power, whilst we are the ones that suffer. 

I don’ fight for no lord, Beric. I fight for the Brotherhood.” 

 

Actions 

In order to make sure that the Brotherhood is more trained Beric devises a new strategy for training the Brotherhood. Anguy, the most skilled archer in the seven kingdoms will focus on training his proteges. In turn his proteges will train the rest of the Brotherhood. Thus making a more effective training regiment for the Brotherhood. A similair system is picked with melee fighting, though with there being more melee experts the men would be trained to be a bit more elite in melee combat. [MOD]

 

In order to prepare for the future and to have a surpluss of food for when Winter arrives small farms are set up around Brotherhood hideouts. As well as helping to cultivate apple trees, berry bushes etc. These small farms are mostly for vegetables and such but will help with providing the brotherhood with food. It will also give former farmers something to do that is not related to combat. [MOD]

 

The information network around the Riverllands of the Brotherhood is expanded. WIth the network focusing mainly on which Lannister, Stark, Tully etc. men have commited atrocities against the smallfolk and mistreated them. As well as allowing the Brotherhood to find and track these men in order to dispense justice. [MOD]

 

In the hideouts of the Brotherhood several smithies are set up. (If there are enough former smiths amongst the Brotherhood.) This is so as to reforge weapons or armor taken by the Lannisters. With a few carpenters/painters being given the task of giving a different collour pattern to captured armor, so as to make it clear that the armor is not of one of a lord’s army.  [MOD]

 

Harrasment continues of lords and men who terrorize the smallfolk. Punishing them for their misdeeds and making sure that the Smallfolk can not be harrased further. [MOD]

A stag in Dorne

 

House Martell

 

image.png.10cda880b956f924df3c53ba32250260.png

 

Oberyn stood upon a pier in Sunspear, his hands behind his back, accompanied by his paramour Elleria Sand. In front of him the Seaswift was slowly sailing into the harbor. Aboard was his daughter Obara, one of his many bastard daughters (nickname the ‘Sandsnakes’ due to their Dornish origin.) and a small escort party. Finally, the ship arrived at it’s destination, and the ropes were fastened to the pier. Off stepped Myrcella Baratheon and her Kingsguard protector Ser Arys Oakheart. Then came his own daughter, the princess and her party approached Oberyn.

 

“Your Highness.” Oberyn dipped his head respectfully to the girl. “Welcome to Dorne, my name is Oberyn Martell, brother of Doran Martell. This is my paramour, Elleria.” He looked over at his paramour with a small smirk, then back at the girl. “You will be provided suitable chambers within the palace, but first my brother would like to speak to you, if you would like to follow me.” He finished. “Thank you my lord, it is a pleasure to be in Dorne.” She replied, though slightly nervously. 

 

The group departed, heading towards the palace. They were admitted by the guards outside the doors for an audience with Doran Martell, once inside they approached the man. Doran had grown old, counting his forty ninth year, and he was crippled; suffering from a gout in the legs. Such disability severely harmed his mobility, but his strength was never physical, his strength was always in the mind. For while Oberyn often solved his problems with the point of his spear, Doran applied logic and swift calculation to overcome his own. 

 

His children stood by his side, his beautiful daughter the Princess Arianne and his two sons the noticeably less handsome Prince Quentyn and Prince Trystane; Myrcella’s betrothed. Finally the man spoke. “Welcome to Sunspear your Highness, I hope you will enjoy it here, it is noticeably less stressful than Kings Landing. Together, Baratheon and Martell, we can bring further stability to the Seven Kingdoms.” His son Trystane gave a small smile to the girl, who blushed under his gaze. “Now, my esteemed guests you shall be shown to your apartments, I will see you at dinner.” He concluded, before clapping his hands; servants came forth and ushered the newcomers to their chambers. Doran’s children each nodded to their father, and left. Doran slowly maneuvered himself into his wheel chair, a servant came forth and began to push him towards his own private chambers.

 

Oberyn moved in next to his brother, and walked with him. “So, do you still really think marrying the grand-daughter of the man who had our sister killed to your son, my nephew, is a good idea?” He asked his brother plainly, his face a mask. “It is, the Lannisters are the most powerful house in the Seven Kingdoms, arguably, with both the crown and the gold mines of Casterly Rock under their control; they boast considerable power. And what happened with our sister is not far from my mind, but this was Tyrion Lannister’s proposal not his fathers. Besides, it is not a small mercy to get her out of the capital, with Stannis Baratheon marching north?” Doran replied.

 

“Tyrion Lannister is his father’s son, and noticeably more so than his brother. Besides... with what Stannis Baratheon claims about Myrcella and his siblings, what are we wasting our time on?” He remained his brother. “A sweet innocent girl, brother, but Stannis has no proof. I will hear no more of this, your continued argument tires me Oberyn.” He sighed, approaching his own chambers. “I will see you at Dinner.” He nodded, before his servant opened the doors and Doran disappeared. Oberyn grumbled slightly, and left his brother there to find his paramour. 

 


 

Some weeks later, Doran looked grave, he had just heard news of Stannis’s victory at Kings Landing. Myrcella’s mother was dead, and there was no news of her brothers or uncle. It seemed his gamble had failed, the Lannister’s had failed. “Oberyn.” He spoke to his brother heavily. “Myrcella, we must tell her what happened, and the betrothal will have to be with-held.” He sighed, before putting away the letter.

 

He then turned his attention to another, one from Stannis himself, asking Dorne to bend the knee. Yet, what did the man promise, nothing, at the moment. Doran would draft a new letter, which would be sent in secret in reply to the new King. 

 

ACTIONS

 

Myrcella Baratheon arrives in Kings Landing, only to have her betrothal cancelled a few weeks later with the Lannister loss of Kings Landing.

 

Letter sent to Stannis in response.

 

Troops begin to muster.

Victory at King’s Landing!

 

Once more the True King of Westeros stands victorious. The Battle of the Blackwater had resulted in a Pyrrhic Victory. Much of the Royal fleet had been laid to waste, and massive swaths of the army were dead or wounded. Though this does nothing to tarnish the King’s Victory. Stannis Baratheon, outnumbered and beset on two sides weathered the Lannister storm, seizing the city.

 

With the Victory at Kings landing, a host of problems now faces Stannis Baratheon. He had inherited a largely broken city. Portions of the city had been destroyed and devastated in the siege. Two of the gates weren’t even in tact anymore. Additionally food was critically low and the populace had been promised it. To keep order, martial law is declared and engineers/craftsmen get right to work repairing the gates

 

As such, Stannis Baratheon calls upon [House Tyrell] to honor their agreement and reopen the Rose Road.

A Message to the 7 Kingdoms

 

Stannis Baratheon now sits firmly on the Iron Throne. All who opposed him either dead, deserted, or fleeing for their lives. The second step in uniting the 7 Kingdoms had been completed, but there was still much left to do. None of the 6 remaining Kingdoms had bent the knee, this would of course change.

 

The King once more dispatches Ravens to every corner of the realm. With the true king in power, this ‘War of the 5 Kings’ was nothing more than a rebellion against the crown. Those who refused to submit would be treated as rebels.


The Baratheon Host

 

The Stormlords has been right in bending the knee, no one could dispute that fact. However Stannis’s army was largely damaged from the attack on King’s Landing and if these rebellions were to be put down, he would need to amass a larger host. Ravens are dispatched to the Stormlands, and The Vale. The King calls his banners and all are expected to answer his call.

A Game of Thrones

 

Westerosi Events

In King’s Landing, the Battle of the Blackwater concludes with a victory for Stannis Baratheon, and many high profile members of the nobility have been missing ever since. The King, Joffrey Baratheon and his brother Tommen Baratheon have not been seen since at least the night of the battle, with others saying Tommen had been missing since before the battle. The Queen Regent is amongst a large amount of nobility found dead in Maegor’s Keep at the hands of Ilyn Payne. Sandor Clegane, Ser Boros Blount, and Ser Balon Swann had not been seen in the city for some time either, and Ser Mandon Moore was found dead following the Battle of the Blackwater. Lady Sansa Stark is one of the only confirmed survivors of the Battle.

 

Meanwhile, in the North, further developments have come from Winterfell and it’s former Castellan, Rodrik Cassel. He claims that the burned bodies of Bran and Rickon Stark were hanging from the gates of Winterfell and that Theon Greyjoy had murdered them as they attempted to escape.

 

Furthermore, it is said that there had been a high profile escape from Riverrun at the time of the wedding, and upon Tyrell’s arrival, they found no sign of the Lady Brienne, who had been accused of killing Renly Baratheon. It is said Loras Tyrell still desires her head.

 

In Riverrun, reports of a grand wedding begin to spread throughout Westeros. The Wolf and the Rose have united! King Robb of House Stark was wedded to Lady Margaery of House Tyrell, and with her came her brother and a host. House Tully hosted a grand wedding which was attended by lords throughout the North, Riverlands, and Reach. Word of an extravagant feast spread throughout Riverrun, with the armies and small folk outside the walls being granted a small feast by the Tyrell Host. The wedding itself was hosted in the Godswood and was done in the way of the Old Gods. Lady Margaery of House Tyrell was now Margaery Stark, and was often accompanied by Lady Catelyn who had come from a similar situation as her. Little more has come out of Riverrun, but the wedding is said to have gone off splendidly, though House Frey has abandoned the King in the North and has recalled their forces to the Twins, where the “Late” Lord Walder Frey sits in waiting.

 

In certain cities throughout Westeros, new weapons begin to come into the market of eastern cities and some major ports. They are known as mortars begin to make an appearance. They are large metal drums which could be used to fire shots over walls, or in some cases, they can be modified to be used on ships as seen in the Battle of the Blackwater. [I will PM certain players soon regarding mortars.]

 

House Stark of Winterfell

[See Westerosi Events]

 

Rodrik Cassel takes charge of the men, and while many of the 3,000 were still rallying, he begins to march on Winterfell with the forces he has. The Ironborn at Torrhen’s Square was quickly and easily expelled.

 

The Karstarks regain their senses and remain with Robb Stark, as he has done little to cause their departure as of yet.

 

Ser Loras Tyrell offers himself as a sworn sword of Robb Stark, with the approval of his own father.

 

House Lannister of Casterly Rock

The Lannister’s bannermen soon begin to unify and work together to fortify the Westerlands, and the mountains passes are fortified. As the Lannister Host returns to the region, they soon begin to meld into these existing armies and aid in helping to close it off to the world. At the time, the Westerlands is sealed off from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.

 

In Lannisport a decent host begins to form up following the call for sell-swords. Initial reports indicate roughly 5,000 men had arrived in the city.

 

In Lannisport and Casterly Rock, the pounding sound of the smith’s hammer could be heard throughout the castle and city. They worked hard to arm the Lannister hosts and come largely from the northern Westerlands and the Crag where men had been displaced as the Stark Host swept through.

 

By the end of the tenth month, reports indicated that the northerners had vacated the region.

 

Sybell Spicer and Jeyne Westerling arrive in Casterly Rock at the end of the tenth month, requesting an audience.

 

House Hightower of Oldtown

Much of the Hightower power had already been sent to aid the Tyrell host and had been called forth. Not many are left to call, but if needed, a force of 5,000 could be made available. This would prevent the city from preparing for winter as adequately as may be needed.

 

Trade routes begin to be studied, to some effect. The income of House Hightower has long established the best routes and little could be done to improve them. Some of the boldest men attempt to head west in search of trade, but nothing is heard from them.

 

Lynesse Hightower had not been seen for years, since she and her husband, Lord Jorah Mormont, fled the Seven Kingdoms to Essos. Nothing has been heard of her in years, though Jorah Mormont is thought to be with the Dragon Queen with Khal Drogo.

 

House Grimm of Greyshield would deny their request for vassalage, preferring to remain under House Tyrell.

 

House Reed of Greywater Watch

While Victarion Greyjoy had managed to remain out of harm's way, having learned to expect the Reeds, his captains were less knowledgeable. A prominent captain in Victarion’s fleet is killed instantly by a Crannogmen arrow.

 

As the Crannogmen continue to harass and besiege the Ironborn, things slowly grow more desperate for them. The poisoned arrows often find a mark and cause many of the Ironborn to be way on the walls and avoid guard duty, while others seem to slack on their post, making the nightly raids even more successful. As more waste is left unnoticed in Moat Caitlin, disease slowly begins to take root in the fort, while Victarion attempts to call for more Ironborn from the Iron Isles to hold the fort.

 

The Old Gods keep watch over House Reed and send them signs.

 

House Tully of Riverrun

The three captured Lannisters make quite a trio in the Riverrun cells, while another cell has become quite vacant recently, thanks to a certain Tully.

 

The lords in the northern, less ravaged areas of the Riverlands offer to house many of the peasants. Meanwhile, it is noticed some are simply leaving on their own accord, but where they go to is not clear to anyone.

 

[See Westerosi Events]

 

Supplies begin to be stockpiled, and some of the men who had begun to take refuge outside of Riverrun are used to aid in the harvesting of crops in the surrounding regions.

 

House Bolton of the Dreadfort

Robett Glover and Ser Helman Tallhart march east, unaware of the events in King’s Landing.

 

[See Westerosi Events]

 

The Bolton force arrives at the wedding but has yet to depart as the wedding barely occurs before the end of the tenth month.

 

Five hundred men remain in Harrenhal. One night, a number of guards are found dead or incapacitated, and three workers are reported missing from the castle, including Lord Bolton’s old cupbearer.

 

The letter arrives at the castle but no response has yet to be received.

 

Ramsay is assumed dead.

 

The rider makes it to the Twins but finds his path blocked, how he gets around and if he finds Greywater Watch has yet to be determined.

 

A letter from the Twins reports that Lady Walda has been sent packing and is on her way to Riverrun, it seems she is not yet pregnant.

 

House Arryn of the Vale

One day, early in the morning, Lord Petyr Baelish arrives in the Vale with a request to meet Lysa Arryn. He brought word of the fall of King’s Landing and Tyrell’s betrayal to House Stark. He requests refuge in the Vale and offers his services.

 

The Vale prepares for winter and lords work to improve their harvest.

 

With many of the Burned Men still returning from King’s Landing, the Knights of the Vale manage to run them farther into the mountains and away from the High Road.

 

Lord Petyr Baelish quickly offers to assess the funds of the Vale and take charge of the operation to build ships, which begins with success in Gulltown. If proper funding is received, it is estimated a small fleet would be available within the year.

 

House Tyrell of Highgarden

They arrived in Riverrun swiftly and safely. [See Westerosi Events]

 

Loras Tyrell is disappointed to learn that Brienne of Tarth and the Kingslayer had fled Riverrun together, with the support of Catelyn Stark.

 

Lord Petyr Baelish departs Highgarden with the message but never arrives back in King’s Landing.

 

The main Tyrell Host remains in Highgarden.

 

The Brotherhood Without Banners

The training of the Brotherhood continues, and over time more and more men become proficient in fighting and archery. While not as well trained as a member of the nobility, the Brotherhood could hold their own against the standard infantry of most houses.

 

Surrounding Hollow Hill small farms are set up to increase production. They help to provide food for the Brotherhood and a small stockpile begins to form of vegetables and wheat. Many of the young children and women who have begun to come with their husband's aid in the building of these farms.

 

Throughout the Riverlands smallfolk feed information back to the Brotherhood.

 

Smiths begin to come in small numbers to the Brotherhood to aid in this endeavor, while carpenters and painters begin to aid them. It is a very small scale production at the moment.

 

Throughout the Riverlands, the Brotherhood strikes at the worst of the Northmen and Westermen who had been moving west again. During a conflict near Harrenhal with the Bolton Host returning to Riverrun, Lord Beric is reported dead, killed at the hands of Harrion Karstark who had been busy attacking smallfolk accused of aiding the Lannister Host.

 

House Martell of Dorne

Myrcella Baratheon remains in Sunspear with Arys Oakheart who protects her despite the loss of his King. She is deeply saddened at the news of the death of her mother and with no news of her brothers.

 

Throughout Dorne, the soldiers begin to march to their liege lords. The marches to the north and areas bordering the Reach become manned.

 

House Baratheon of King’s Landing

The repair of King’s Landings walls and gates begin swiftly and with little issue.

 

The Rose Road is reopened and food flows into the capital, though the smallfolk notice the Rose of Highgarden that brings food to the city.

 

Martial law is imposed, and with the influx of food into the city the peasants do little in response, currently content to no longer be starving, though some of those in the slums and the more faithful make their discontent noted about the burning of the Sept of Baelor.

 

The City Watch begins to be rebuilt, with many immediately enlisting under Stannis, only caring for who fed and paid them.

 

Nothing is found of any of the missing peoples, though the body of Ser Mandon Moore is found outside the city on the banks of the river. The bodies of Tyrion Lannister and Sandor Clegane have yet to appear.

 

The newly elected High Septon and Faith of the Seven flee to Oldtown, fearing Stannis Baratheon and the followers of R’Hllor.

 

The Mannis may have penetrated the city, but fails with his wife.

 

The ravens fly out, few that went outside of the Crownlands and Stormlands return.

 

The Stormlands begins to amass men in response to their new King. The Lords begin to rally around the last Baratheon without question.

 

More prisoners are burnt on Dragonstone.

 

Davos Seaworth is brought to King’s Landing by Salladhor Saan, found on a rock in the Blackwater Bay barely clinging to life. He blames Melisandre for leading them all into the flames.
