House Reed

latest?cb=20170523031146


Spoiler

 

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

 

Howland Reed looks through the rain at the incoming messenger, a southern Crannogman from the looks of him. The messenger pilots his Crannogboat through a new stream.

 

”What news do you bring from the Freys, my friend?”

 

”I hail from the Causeway, m’lord. Robb Stark moves north with 10,000 men, but he has not called upon us.”

 

Howland thanks and helps the man onto the castle as he hitches his small rowing vessel onto the side. Both of them walk into the southern armoury where a shaggy old man watches them enter.

 

”It is as we discussed, Creet, Robb Stark is moving north.”

 

”Does ‘e think e’ can assault those towers!? ‘Etting cocky from his time in the south. I’ll send our boats and men up to save him m’lord.”

 

”Very well, I will head to Moat Cailin, I have some issues I must speak to the Stark about. I will come along. Messenger, inform King Stark that I will be coming to Moat Cailin with my wife, and that we will be there to assist in his aims as of this moment.”

 

”I will inform King Stark, m’lord. Thank you.”

 

The following day, still under heavy rain, the Reed’s own capital ship departs from Greywater Watch, coming in straight from the centre of the larger ship. The boat is as large as any Crannogmen freighter, but instead of only supplies, there is a modest bedroom, room for a horse, and other niceties that can fit above the shallow keel.

 


Actions

 

- The Crannogmen arrive with another 500 men and double that in boats. There are now 950 Crannogmen at Moat Cailin and enough boats to guide a comparable number of Northern-men to the Ironborn ships or to the other side of Moat Cailin. Command is still with Edric Peat in difference to King Stark.

  

- Lord Howland and his wife depart inside a massive ship by Crannog standards. Due to the nature of the ship and it only being able to navigate the deeper waters of at least 3 metres, they will arrive weeks after the other Crannogmen.

A Game of Thrones

3/1/300-4/30/300

 

King’s Landing is once again under siege and the people have begun to grow tired of the Lordly games played in spite of them. None welcome another invading army, but many are showing their dissatisfaction for Stannis Baratheon as he marches further into the Reach, away from a city desperate for food.

 

Meanwhile, in the North, Lady Barbrey Dustin of Barrowtown and Lord Howland Reed ordered their men to burn the ships of the Ironborn that remained in the Saltspear, while Robb’s army began the journey north via the sea. The Ironborn had not been seen on the water often in the last months, though all knew it to be because of the King’s Moot being held, in which Euron Greyjoy is rumored to have been crowned King of the Iron Isles. Other reports indicate Asha Greyjoy has fled the Iron Isles and returned to the North, but none can be sure when they are so far from where it matters. House Redwyne, already preparing to intervene in Oldtown, has since begun patrolling the waters surrounding the Reach, hoping to spot an Ironborn attack before it occurs.

 

Throughout Westeros, cannons had become common at most major ports and even in some of the more powerful, inland castles and towns. In addition, a new type of weaponry slowly began to come with these cannons, something far smaller and said to operate similarly to a crossbow. (Anyone can now purchase cannons, I will message certain people about a new weapon finding its way to major port cities.

 

As Robb Stark’s armies begin to land in the North, his return is met with calls of rejoice and praise. Many had feared Robb would fight for House Lannister’s cause as House Tully seemed to have done, but his return to the North instead meant the Ironborn who had plagued their lands, and the wildlings in the North who had seemed to quiet down for some time, are still a worry to many in Houses Umber and Karstark.

 

Few know what had actually gone on in the North, but many were prepared to see that it was undone and House Stark regained their power before winter was truly here. Five thousand men from House Manderly, House Flint, House Cerwyn, and House Tallhart. Some of the men are said to have been survivors of the Battle of Winterfell. The North Remembers.

 

News had reached many castles throughout Westeros, Lysa Arryn had killed herself in her passion for Petyr Baelish. While many of the Lords of the Vale, such as Lord Royce, remained skeptical, Lord Bealish had already begun work on ensuring that Lord Robert continues getting proper care and education. As the Lords Declarant began to amass upon the Eyrie in order to question Lord Baelish, many are said to have begun to rejoice at Lysa’s death, as she had grown mad with rage at the prospect of the Vale fighting, leaving Lord Robert vulnerable.

 

No news comes from Dorne.

 

In the North, the first signs of winter can begin to be seen. The Keeps beyond Winterfell have begun to report heavy snows.

 

House Lannister of Casterly Rock

The march had progressed well during the early months in the year and continued towards King’s Landing without much issue.

 

Tyrion Lannister, the Imp of Casterly Rock, had finally been granted a position by his father worthy of his status as heir. Many had thought Jaime to be dead following the death of his sister, and the rumors that emerged from King’s Landing, though none would speak of this in Casterly Rock or Lannisport. Tyrion sees that Lannisport is well led and prepared for the coming months, and he attempts to bring more income in order to balance the amount spent on armies. The gold mines in Lannisport could only fund so much.

 

The standing army is trained further, though now that they are on the move they can do little in the means of training. The navy deployed on the Lannister coast finds no sign of Ironborn as of yet, though rumors come from Pyke that longships were being built throughout the Isles.

 

Without Myrcella at hand, the Dornish intention to crown her, the Iron Bank is unwilling to back a Lannister claim for her throne.

 

Few more sellswords or soldiers were recommended to be hired, as significant funds were now seemingly going into a war with no clear end goal but Tywin’s vengeance. Some of the Lords in the West wondered whether he had gone mad at the loss of his two twins.

 

House Sarwyck of Riverspring

The Lannister Host and the Sarwyck men who accompany it march eastward.

 

Expansions in the town begin, including new farms, though hands had begun to run short in the west with the combination of men needed to garrison castles, march for Tywin, and farm in preparation for winter as well as providing food for the soldiers.

 

Gawen Sarwyck leads Riverspring well and helps to oversee the new expansions to the town.

 

The Brotherhood Without Banners

The Brotherhood continues to expand, and men throughout the Riverlands and northern parts of the Reach who are are fleeing the Mountain begin to join up with the Brotherhood, though due to the lack of battles and thus deserters, it is not many new members.

 

Both Lannister Hosts find themselves harassed during their march to King’s Landing, and from the moment they enter the Riverlands, Tywin Lannister’s Host met the Brotherhood and the hatred the men felt for the Lannisters. It was clear they were unwelcome marching through their land. In the south, the Clegane Host finds less resistance, but its supply lines are harassed continually. The Tully host is harassed slightly, though mostly ignored by the men of the Brotherhood. House Tully still treated their subjects with respect.

 

The Brotherhood is accepted throughout the Riverlands and even in the northern Crownlands as the Lannisters make their presence known. They help to rebuild homes and are often rewarded with food, aid, and protection when armies come looking.

 

Gendry learns quickly and soon follows in Beric’s footsteps of becoming a good leader for the Brotherhood. Having grown up in the slums of King’s Landing, Gendry truly believed in the cause Beric fought for. Edric Dayne is slightly upset by the fondness for Gendry, but soon the two become friends and are often seen with the Lightning Lord.

 

The Brotherhood continually trains, and many of the men who had been there since the beginning had some decent skill with the bow as well as with a sword.

 

House Stark of Winterfell

Robb Stark is quickly persuaded against sending the letter, and instead informs each of his lords one by one, as many of lords who needed to know were already within his army. When the host from the north meets up with Robb’s Army, they confirm the story told by House Umber, and also state that many believed Bran and Rickon to have survived.

 

There were not three thousand men at Winterfell, but the men sent by Lord Manderly and the other houses who had men in the North, continue to Winterfell under the leadership of his son, Wyllis Manderly in order to begin rebuilding the castle for Robb’s return.

 

The raven is sent to Last Hearth upon Robb’s arrival in Barrowtown.

 

House Tully of Riverrun

Preparations for winter continue in the Riverlands.

 

Ser Desmond Grell remains Castellan but takes over primary command of Riverrun in Lord Edmure’s absence. Catelyn Stark aids him in leading.

 

The Tully Host has arrived at King’s Landing and is laying siege to the city.

 

House Tarly of Horn Hill

House Tyrell would respond to House Tarly’s request with an order to return to the Reach where the Hightowers were to be dispatched. He requests that Lord Tarly meets his son, Garlan Tyrell, on the way south. Ser Garlan will be accompanied by a Host.

 

Most of the manpower of the Reach had been called up, though much of it currently resides at Highgarden.

 

All around Horn Hill, the Tarly men begin to make preparations for winter, though the Reach was thought to already be the most well off.

 

During the time when they would normally be marching, the Tarly Host now spends its time training. The Tarly Host had already contained a large number of skilled knights and men-at-arms, but with the time set apart specifically for continued training, the men begin to prepare themselves for the inevitable batle.

 

House Redwyne accepts the proposal, though no marriage can occur until the Tarly Host returns to the Reach.

 

House Arryn of the Eyrie

Unlike the Reach, the Vale had yet to face a true conflict and preparations for winter had been going excellently, with stockpiles which could easily last years to come.

 

Since construction began, Littlefinger has overseen the completion of roughly twenty ships for the Vale.

 

[See Westerosi Events]

 

Gull Town prepares itself, foreseeing the inevitable Baratheon invasion.

 

House Baratheon of King’s Landing

The Royal Family, Ice, and a few other imperative artifacts were reported to have been successfully evacuated to Dragonstone before the siege of King’s Landing began. No reports come back on the location of Sansa Stark, Lord Davos, Lady Melisandre, or any others in King’s Landing following this.

 

Throughout King’s Landing, preparations for battle begin. Siege engines are set up along the walls and cannons and mortars are seen being brought and mounted on the walls. Having yet to see such devices, their initial use both shocked and terrified and number of Tully and Tarly men, who fled before being brought back. Lord Tarly and the Blackfish spent much of their time attempting to determine what exactly the Baratheons had on their walls.

 

The City Watch continually drills and practices in preparation for the siege, but their size would not grow much further than it had. Lord Davos Seaworth had managed to raise roughly 5,000 men but it was not thought many more men could be raised who would truly fight for the cause.

 

King’s Landing can do little to prepare for winter, their food stockpile was running low and little trade managed to enter the city, especially with the presumed chaos on the seas and the closing of every major road in Westeros.

 

House Reed of Greywater Watch

Outside of Moat Caitlin, the Reed Host begins to take root as they await the arrival of the Stark Host. It was unknown where they were, but no army had gone through the causeway so some began to believe Robb Stark had taken a route over sea instead. Nonetheless, the Crannogmen awaited the arrival of the Northern Host.

 

Upon Howland’s arrival, the Stark host had not yet arrived but he manages to arrive safely alongside his wife while Robb begins his march to Moat Caitlin.

 

Howland Reed dreams of three children and a wolf running through the snow, a raven circles them overhead. In the far south a beautiful young woman, dark haired and dark skinned, speaks to a man in a wheelchair. The two speak, but only one phrase could be completely understood.

Fire and Blood.

King’s Landing under threat

 

The Tully’s have embarked on a foolish and treacherous errand. Marching directly on the seat of Baratheon power will end only in folly for them. Already, massive instruments of war are unveiled to the untested rivermen and relief marches from across loyalist lands. As the siege continues, constant harassment from the defenders will discourage their men until the final blow is dealt.


Victory in the Reach!

 

After a rather short campaign, and little bloodshed, the Reach had been subdued. The largest and most populous region of Westeros now knelt to the true King. Now, Stannis marches triumphantly to defeat his enemies elsewhere across the continent.


Victory at Tumbleton!

 

Following the success of the Reach campaign, Stannis was once more confronted with the Lannister rebels. A host who had captured Tumbleton in his absence and slaughtered the garrison. However such deeds would not go unpunished. On the 23rd Stannis’s men and his Reach allies converged on the Rebels, slaughtering hundreds and routing the rest. Infamous sellsword leader, Vargo Hoat, would soon find his head mounted on a pike along with the rest of his company.

A great victory had been won, and Stannis still remained undefeated in the field. News of this triumph would be spread far and wide..


Actions

 

-Baratheon host marches

-Ravens fly

-With reports of snows from the northern holds, preparation for winter wherever possible is ordered.

-News of the Lannister defeat, and the capture of SER GREGOR CLEGANE is spread far and wide.

Brotherhood without Banners

latest?cb=20170531015541

 

Captain Beric Dondarreon sat in his weirwood seat in the Hollow Hill. Watching the men laugh at a camp fire, making jokes and enjoying company whilst he sat here in soltitude. Pondering …

 

As he sat there he pondered about many things. On the one hand, the war, mistreatement of the peasants and the like was decreasing. In part through their help. Which was a good thing of course, but it also meant the Brotherhood did not grow stronger. As such with the song of the Brotherhood reaching a decrescendo Beric was faced with an important question. What was the true purpose of the Brotherhood ?

 

At first it had to apprehend the mountain, then to protect the peasantry, but what was it now ? The peasants were safe, uncomfortable but safe. If they kept their current course justice would be settled but the Brotherhood would dissapear into the annals of history. Barely more than a footnote made by some maestar. Then after so many years another war would come by and a similair organization would rise up to protect the peasantry. 

Whilst pondering this a mental cycle began to form in Beric’s head. The lords would fight each other, in order to gain more power or something similair. Then outlaws or vigilantes would rise up to counter the mistreatement of the peasants. Then the war would end and the outlaws/vigilantes would be crushed or assimilated back into soceity. At which point there would be peace until war hit again. Beric realized that it was an infite cycle, one that began when the first men settled Westeros and now they were at another point in the cycle. Yet, they were stronger and more legitemate than any other outlaw-like group before them. If they were smart they might be able to break, or at least change the cycle. Yet, what was the cause for the creation and continuation of the cycle ? 

Beric’s mind answered quickly, it was the nobility. Of which he himself was a part. They perpetuated this cycle of violence and depravity. Unless he did something about this it would inevitably continue. The harsh but honest answer to this dillema was that to stop the cycle, he needed to remove the nobility. They were the ones who mistreated the smallfolk. They were the ones who sat in their castles whilst the smallfolk worked continiously, only keeping a small amount of their food. Giving the rest to either the nobility or the clergy. He himself had once been a part of this cycle yet now he came to a realization. The Brotherhood was just a small group, they needed to grow into a movement. Something to truly cause change for the people of Westeros. 

 

With this realization coming onto him Beric called Gendry, his progidy, forth. Gendry, who had previously been working on repairing his bull helmet after a skirmish quickly complied. Coming towards Beric. “Is there something you desire my lo....... captain.” 

Yes, change

Actions

The Brotherhood begins preparing for winter, or more specifically helpt the territories under their protection for winter. They begin helping smallfolk with setting up fishing barges in order to feed themselves with fish when winter arises. As well as helping to scavenge food from the wilderness and hunting deers and other animals whose meat could be preserved and shared with the smallfolk. With specifically Anguy and his direct apprentices working on hunting deer and the like. [MOD]

Slowly, an idea begins to spread thorugh the brotherhood and from there to the villages it protects. The idea that the nobles are not neccesary to the protection of the peasants and merely caused more dangers for them. With the idea coming that the Nobility needed to lose their status of power. That the smallfolk should decide their own fate, which would not be controlled by the nobility. These ideas would mainly be spread around the Riverlands and the Northern Crownlands. [MOD]

| King’s Landing |

 

After the Tyrell host left being led by Randyll Tarly, Ser Edmure continued to stay outside King’s Landing in his fortified camp. As Edmure and fellow Lord’s of the Riverlands were gathered in the war tent looking at the map of the city a messenger would barge into the tent.

 

“M’lords, I bring news from Tumbleton. The Tarly host fought with King Stannis Baratheon against the small Lannister host there so it seems that the Tyrell’s has bent the knee to Stannis.”

 

“I was beginning to like that Tarly.. What a shame I guess, but we shall remain in King’s Landing to finish what we were doi-.”

 

“Forgive me m’lord, but I also came to inform on another matter which is the Tarly Host along with King Stannis is marching here to take us on. Plus, King Robb advised you to start heading back to the Riverlands immediately due to this threat.”

 

“Leave us.” Ser Edmure would then speak to the messenger as he’d look at the fellow lords of the Riverlands. “Now, my fellow lords, it seems we are forced to make a decision on what to do which is either stay here to stand against the large force or march back home hoping that they don’t follow us back to the Riverlands. Now, what do you chose to do?.”

 

“I say we should march home then, this is a losing battle if we stayed here, and plus winter is almost here. We’ve shown nothing but the strength of the Riverlands at King’s Landing but now we must live to fight another day.” Lord Karly Vance would state.

 

The Riverlords would all agree before they made their march home/

Lord Tywin Lannister silently contemplated matters as he stares at King’s Landing. Even now his Vanguard was setting up temporary camps, and resting. After a very easy march, the Lannister host was still intact and healthy. The unfortunate news of Marbrand’s defeat at Tumbleton was perturbing. But Tywin had never expected such a small detachment to defeat an entire Realm. They had served their purpose, and now it was Tywin Lannister’s time. King’s Landing would burn.....

 

At home far more domestic matters take place. The survivors of Tumbleton rejoin the Westerlands. They help man the already well fortified mountain passes. It is from here Lannister regulars ensure a strong first line of defense. Tyrion and Damion Lannister continue to rule from the Rock. With the capital well secured, Tyrion begins to use the men not rallied by Tywin to try for another seasons harvest. While the navy and mountain passes patrol, the interior farms.

 

Perhaps one interesting notion of Tyrion’s is also implemented. Three thousand Lannisters of the ‘Standing Army’ have been raining for quite some time now. With such a tight and rigid discipline, Tyrion buys and introduced some of the new ‘Crossbows’ that emitted smoke and sparks like a Dragon. These ranks of men would work on marching in compact formations, and firing and reloading these recently dubbed ‘Dragon Lances’

 

Actions

 

Continued fortification/patrol

 

Preparing for winter, trying to farm another harvest

 

Continued training of Lannister standing army, implementing new ‘crossbows’

A Game of Thrones

5/1/300-6/30/300

 

Griffin’s Roost

On the two and tenth day of the sixth month, Aegon Targaryen and Lord Jon Connington landed in the Stormland’s alongside the Golden Company. Two days later Griffin’s Roost had fallen and was taken by the Company. The arrival of a Targaryen in Westeros is both a surprise and something some had thought may be for the best. With the turbulence of the Baratheon Reign, some had hoped a return to the old ways may fix things. Aegon’s Host begins attacking and harassing the Stormlands and soon slows the already feeble supply of food that came from the Stormlands into King’s Landing. Now only a few days ride from Storm’s End, the Lords of the Stormlands began to question if Stannis could maintain his Kingdom while a hostile force sits so close to his ancestral seat.

 

Elsewhere

Following a siege which lasted nearly a month, King’s Landing found itself relieved for a brief time before the arrival of a Lannister Host. Ravens flew out, and news traveled swiftly throughout Westeros. Sansa Stark had been kidnapped from King’s Landing by an unknown group of men. While little is known about them, and few even witnessed the events, it had been clear to many that whoever had attacked the capital had known it better than most. Some members of the court whispered that Varys may have been behind the attack, lurking in the dungeons of King’s Landing and others believe it may have been Lord Beric Dondarrion, having thought they saw him on the day of the kidnapping. One of the most popular theories in the city itself and by some of the staff claims that Robb Stark and Grey Wind infiltrated the castle together, with Grey Wind freeing Sansa by himself from Maegor’s Keep.

 

Within a week from the departure of the Tully Host, Lord Tywin Lannister arrives with his Army of the Seven outside the King’s Landing. Ravens fly soon after, and Lords of the Crownlands and the Stormlands would be called forth to defend the city. Due to a shortage of men, and the need to maintain peace in the city the defenders had neglected the siege equipment left behind by the Riverland Host, with the Lannister’s soon beginning to operate those devices. As news of Tumbleton begins to filter farther north, it becomes clear that soon the Baratheons and Lannisters would be at odds.

 

Following the capture of Oldtown and the capturing, disappearance, or death of the remaining members of House Hightower, Lord Mace Tyrell transfers the vassalage of House Costayne of the Three Towers and House Bulwer of Blackcrown to Lord Tarly, ensuring that Horn Hill could watch over Oldtown and the remains of House Hightower. While Lord Leyton has yet to be found, his son Ser Gunthor Hightower is selected as the new Lord, while Garth “Greysteel” and Humfrey Hightower both remain as hostages of Highgarden.

 

Elsewhere in the Reach, the Ironborn had launched an attack on the Shield Islands as Lord Redwyne’s fleet began to move towards King’s Landing. Little news reaches the other Kingdoms but King Euron is said to have shown no mercy in his slaughter. It seems an attempt to get into the harbor of Oldtown had also been made through the capture of Tyroshi trading vessel. While they ultimately failed, it became clear to the remains of House Hightower and House Tyrell that the Reach was being threatened greatly.

 

Throughout the North and portions of the Vale, it seems that winter has truly begun to come. Snow begins to fall on White Harbor, as well as the Twins and the Eyrie. The snowfall in the Vale prompts the departure of Lord Robert Arryn and Lord Protector Petyr Baelish from the Eyrie, as they take up residence in their winter residence at the Gates of Moon. The Lords Declarant had arrived here before their descent, and meet with Lord Petyr.

 

The North had finally begun to be retaken, with the fall of Moat Caitlin and Euron seemingly abandoning the North. The Ironborn at Torrhen’s Square flee the North without quarrel and disappear into the Summer Sea. Meanwhile, Lord Wyman Manderly’s son had begun to oversee the reconstruction of Winterfell as the King in the North returned home. At the end of the month, a son is born to King Robb and Queen Margaery.

 

Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth arrive at Riverrun alongside the Brotherhood Without Banners before the return of the Tully Host. With them is the Lady Sansa Stark who is reunited with her mother and sister. Catelyn ensures that the Brotherhood is gifted for their efforts. Upon their arrival, Jaime informs Sandor Clegane of his brother’s capture, prompting him to depart Riverrun alongside Jaime, Brienne, and the Brotherhood members.

 

A man of the Night’s Watch arrives at the Citadel of Oldtown.

 

House Baratheon of King’s Landing

The Baratheon Host continues its march from Tumbleton, now accompanied by the Host of Lord Tarly.

King’s Landing receives the word of Stannis’s victory, and while unable to prepare for a proper wedding, they make preparations for his return to the city. Lord Davos had begun to bring some calm to the chaotic city.

 

Throughout Westeros, the defeat of the Mountain is seen as a great victory. Men throughout the Riverlands, Dorne, and some in King’s Landing who remember Tywin’s Sacking praise King Stannis and Lord Randyll, while calling for Gregor’s head to be mounted on the walls of King’s Landing.

 

House Stark of Winterfell

Ice is returned to the North via White Harbor as a sign of good faith by King Stannis.

 

While Winter town is not typically occupied by a large number of people during the Summer and Spring, but as King Robb returns home and the castle is rebuilt, clansmen from the Northern Mountains and those who had been displaced by the Ironborn head to Winterfell to aid the repairs and to survive through winter. While the town begins to slowly fill, it will not truly be filled until Robb Stark’s levies are allowed to return home.

 

Ten of the cannons bought are brought directly to Winterfell, while the other ten is with King Robb as he marches to the Dreadfort. The cannons slow down his approach by a few weeks due to their large size and the difficult feat of lugging them through the snows.

 

Stockpiles in the North were not as large as many had hoped with the War of the Five Kings bringing critical manpower away from the farmlands, but preparations had been made any many Houses were well prepared for a decent winter.

 

The Blackfish writes to King Robb that he had talked his brother out of attacking King’s Landing and siding with Tywin Lannister, referring to it as a folly.

 

The Crannogmen are excited and proud to see that their King had taken the time to go to Greywater Watch.

 

The Brotherhood Without Banners

The Brotherhood continues to stockpile for winter as the snows begin to fall in the northern Riverlands. Hollow Hill begins to slowly fill as many of the smallfolk had finally returned home from the War. Anguy and his team of archers provide the Brotherhood with a plentiful amount of meat and furs. As the hunting parties grow in frequency, rumors begin to spread throughout the Brotherhood of a giant wolf who ruled the Riverlands instead of House Tully, leading a large pack of wolves.

 

The idea takes root within the core of the Brotherhood and some of the smaller lordships and towns in the Brotherhood hotspots, with many tired of them being used as pawns for the Lords and their games. This idea begins to spread throughout the southern Riverlands and portions of the Reach, with many of those who had been at Harren’s Town and Tumbleton being supporters of change.

 

House Tully of Riverrun

The River Lords are relieved to finally return home and be allowed to do what they can to prepare before winter has truly and finally arrived. Although the Riverlands had been preparing, the War of the Five Kings had done some damage on the region and if the winter was long the Riverlands would face some trouble. Food begins to flow in from the Reach as Lord Tyrell hopes to ensure the North knows he remains by his alliance, allowing for a small stockpile to begin forming.

 

Lord Wyman Manderly agrees to Lord Edmure’s request and dispatches Lady Wynafryd to Gull Town from where his men will then escort her to Riverrun to meet with Lord Edmure. Assuming the wedding goes as planned, Lord Wyman offers to provide a copious amount of food for the feast. Although some are disappointed she is from the North and not the Riverlands, many of the River Lords approve of the marriage.

 

House Lannister of Casterly Rock

As the Bloody Mummers harassed the Crownlands, Tywin Lannister takes over the abandoned Tully siege of King’s Landing. The camps are continually fortified and patrols are sent out throughout the area surrounding King’s Landing.

 

As snows begin to fall to the north, a final harvest is fairly successful but suffers due to a lack of men to work the fields to their full capacity.

 

The Lannister Army in the Westerlands begins to train with these “Dragon Lances” and soon finds that while they are less reliable than a classic archer or a crossbow, the weapon is effective when used in larger numbers against a smaller force. These Dragon Lances prove deadly even against armored men.

 

House Tarly

Lord Redwyne accepts the marriage between Dickon Tarly and Desmera Redwyne, and wedding preparations begin. A hefty dowry is offered with the acceptance of marriage.

 

As the Tarlys clean up the remains of the Clegane Host around Tumbleton, it becomes clear there were few if any significant Lannister forces left in the Reach.

Meanwhile in the Westerlands, things are far more harmonious. Tyrion Lannister through wit and cunning has been keeping the homelands safe and prosperous. The standing army as always keeps training. They are now implementing Dragon Lances and Mortars at a point to phase out all melee weapon but the pike to deter Knights.

 

***The winter coming in truth has spurred Tyrion’s attention however. He rides across the West, with a large portion of the Lannister sell-swords, mounted outriders, horse, and officers Tyrion has to use with him. They will go wherever Lords had been hit the hardest by Tywin’s levies. This small and smart group of Westermen can hopefully travel their people’s lands and help secure whatever is left of the last autumn harvest. And now more then ever the Navy and Mountain Pass units are told to increase patrols.

 

 

IN LIEU OF RECENT EVENTS EDIT;

 

 

-In the Crownlands proper, Addam Marbrand is given command. Acting in place of the unappointed King’s Justice, he seeks to restore order to the realm. Instead of crushing and subduing, he listens and helps. He makes every small folk problem his own. His men help rebuild, and pay for what they take. The effort is to undermine the B.W.B efforts in the area with their own tactics. Vargo Hoat is put under Marbrand’s command, but kept on a VERY tight leash. 

-Lord Tywin Lannister, and Master of Coin Damion Lannister will set up camp around King’s Landing. Ironically they reoccupy the Lannister war camps during the siege, but now flying the Baratheon banner. Other Lannister camps will spring up in the cities ashes, and near the Blackwater. The troops not busy patrolling will help in the reconstruction efforts. 


Actions

 

Standing Army training continues as always. Some of the veterans are sent to Tywin. Fresh men are raised in their place to start training.

 

***Tyrion attempts to rescue last of harvest. Increased alertness of troops and ships guarding Westerlands border

 

-Marbrand begins to restore ordder to King’s Landing

 

-Tywin beings to rebuild King’s Landing

The Battle for King’s Landing

6/30/300 - 7/4/300

 

Music 1

 

In the afternoon, Lord Davos Seaworth looked out over King’s Landing with a look of grief. What had finally come was long expected, but he knew what it meant. Within the city people continued to go hungry, riots continued, and those who hoped for the return of the Seven would pray in secret, though it seemed the Red Witch could always find out who remained loyal to the Faith. This had all been ongoing since the siege had begun, but what was new was what all had hoped would never come, the first snows of winter and it was official. A white raven had flown into the city only hours before. King Stannis was said to be returning up the Rose Road to the city, with the Tarly Host at his side, but this brought no solace to the men who simply longed for an endless summer and good harvests. Instead many of these men would die, either at the hands of the Lannisters within days or after suffering through what the Maesters expected to be the longest winter in centuries. Even the Lady Melisandre seemed distressed to Davos, who noticed who mentioning of the Long Night had become more frequency. Whatever was to come, the Hand of the King seemed to believe that none could be prepared for it.

 

Outside the walls, Lord Tywin looked in disbelief at the parchment which laid on his desk. He had learned of what his son Jaime had been doing for the last few months, during which many had assumed he had simply been dead. He contemplated what was to come next, before reading the more recent letter, bearing the seal of Armory Lorch who commanded the vanguard. The Baratheon Host had been last seen marching west towards the Blackwater, where men could cross without boats. He also reported camps being set up as the host approached, estimating the numbers to be between five-and-forty or fifty thousand men. The Reachmen horse alone seemed to make up much of the army. The snowfall had prevented the scouts from remaining far enough to scout safely, leaving estimations of how many men existed to small numbers. Lorch stated he would meet the host on the river should they attempt the crossing, and said he had sent word ahead to Lord Kevan. Battle was to be had within hours and the men were prepared. Tywin would remain in his camp within sight of the walls.

 

Across the Blackwater King Stannis looked upon the lands, knowing that what he had done not even a year before he would need to do again. The city would not need to be taken, but Lord Tywin’s men had been spotted across the river. He suspected Armory Lorch would lead the vanguard, but he was unsure of when they would attack. Lord Tarly believed a contested crossing to be most likely, and he was not far off. As noon approached, the host began to sally out from the camp it had set up, beginning the crossing. Across the river, the host could be seen preparing their own defenses. Canons had already begun firing, though their ineffectiveness at long ranges became clear when none had managed to hit the camp. The Baratheon foot began its slow crossing, protected by Marcher longbowmen who rained arrows down across the river as the Lannister Host began to materialize on the opposite side.

 

As the two forces charged, it became clear the Baratheon Host was sending mainly foot soldiers across the river, while the Lannister horse soon leads the charge for the defending side. As the two met in the center of the river the sounds of clanging swords and the screams of dying men filled the air. The arrows of the Marchmen rained down upon the Lannister horse and the approaching foot, and for a time it seemed that the two sides were just slaughtering each other in the river, but the advantage soon found it’s way to the side of the Lannisters as the Baratheon foot soldiers were slowly being forced back across the river by the Lannister horse.

 

Music 2

 

The Lady Melisandre sat in her solar in King’s Landing, speaking to an older man dressed in black robes. As they finish speaking she states, “Prepare what we have spoken of Hallyne, the Lord will thank you for your sacrifice when all is done”. The man nods his head before leaving the room, and as he exits Lord Davos enters in his place. They discuss the reports of the battle which had begun on the Blackwater, and the size of the Lannister Host was said to have been greatly reduced outside the city, but no sorties could be held with such a small City Watch. A majority of the Florent Army had departed with the Queen despite the wishes of the Hand or regard for the wishes of the King, while the City Watch had been reduced to a mostly loyal band of three thousand men. Should Stannis fail, Lord Tywin would find a city with nearly no defenses or faith in their King and the snows only lowered the faith of the smallfolk.

 

As the Battle for the Crossing continued, the Ser Armory Lorch quickly became confident in their ability to take the river, but his joy soon turned to ashes as thundering of horses; which could be heard by few over the clamor of battle, soon came from the east. The striding huntsmen of House Tarly could be seen flying under the flaming heart and stag of House Baratheon as the Baratheon horse finally found its way to the battle. A day before, they had traveled east to begin a crossing far from the Lannister position and this ploy soon proved successful. The Baratheon foot had been almost forced back by the Lannister vanguard as the Reachmen horse materialized through the snow drifts and smashed into Lorch’s footsoldiers who had not yet begun the crossing. The shock of the armored horse took the vanguard by surprise, and as the clash between the Lannister horse and Baratheon foot continued in the river the Lannister soldiers on the northern bank soon began to flee under the pressure of thousands of Reachmen. The battle continued for a short time after, before the remainder of the Lannister vanguard was captured or sent fleeing. The Baratheon Host had won the crossing, but the losses had been heavy on both sides, hundreds, if not thousands lay dead in the river as the water turned to blood. From the Lannister side, Lord Banefort and Ser Boros Blount were found dead in the water, the latter still clad in the armor of the Kingsguard. From the Baratheon side, Ser Ronnet Connington dies, leaving Griffin’s Rest unoccupied. Within minutes after the victory, King Stannis would order his men to continue the crossing and make chase after the fleeing Lannisters.

 

As night fell over the city, in the depths of King’s Landing, a group of hooded men stood huddled together. They stood beneath a white banner bearing the Seven pointed star as they said a prayer to each of the Gods. One of them spoke up following the prayer and stated quietly, “For the High Septon, for Tywin, for Robert, for the Seven!” The men then proceeded from the room, walking out of a small tunnel where they stood in the ruins of the Sept of Baelor. As they continued out to the front, they looked out onto the crowd of men and women. Thousands had turned up in support, as rumors spread throughout Flea Bottom of a plot to take the city from Stannis before he could arrive. The uprising would begin where the Florents and their Red Witch had burned and disgraced their Gods. As they marched down the steps, they found empty streets and nothing in their path, thus they continued on their march, chanting as they wound their way to the Street of Steel.

 

Music 3

 

Now within miles of the city, King Stannis’s host had emerged over a hill onto a great field, where the majority of the Lannister Host could be seen marching. Above them flew the crowned stag of House Baratheon, the star of the Seven, and the lion of Lannister. The mounted horse of the Reach and Stormlands which led the charge flew the flaming heart and crowned stag of Stannis Baratheon, the striding huntsmen of Lord Tarly, and the golden flower of House Tyrell. As the Baratheon horse led the charge, the thunder of the Lannister cannons could be heard. In an open field, they tended to find their mark more clearly, and the charge was momentarily slowed as cannons took down men and horses alike. Within moments the host had regained its stance and continued its charge, led by Ser Garlan Tyrell. The Lannister host was led by Kevan Lannister, with Ser Meryn Trant, Lord Crakehall, and Armory Lorch making up the main leadership of the reformed host. The Lannister foot was soon overcome by the horse who charged past the line, meeting the Baratheon cavalry at full charge in the center of the field between the two armies in a loud and violent battle. The snow on the ground around them swiftly turned red, and the banners of the two sides had been lost in the chaos.

 

As the cavalry clashed, the Baratheon host began its march with men leading from the right side where Lord Tarth and Ser Jon Fossoway lead a contingent of foot soldiers. As they made their way forward, the Lannister Host did the same, pushing in a line towards the conflict in the middle. As the Baratheon’s clear horse advantage became clear, the men fighting in the center soon began to die down, sending the Lannister horse fleeing behind their lines, while the Baratheon host prepared for a charge into the footsoldiers. The sound of battle filled the air, as first, the Baratheon horse crashed into the center of the Lannister Host while their foot on the right flank had begun to begin their own charge towards the Lannister men led by Lord Sarwyck. From the rearguards of either army, King Stannis and Lord Tywin looked out over the battle. Two of Westeros’s greatest men found themselves at odds, and between them both, thousands died to decide who was the greater man.

 

Back within the walls of King’s Landing, the Poor Fellows’ of King’s Landing continued their march, now armed. They marched towards the Red Keep, intent on dragging the Red Witch and her Onion Knight to be hung for their crimes against the Seven. Should Stannis return to the city, they would ensure he found his castle in ruins and his council dead. Within the walls, the court was frantic. None knew what to do, and the Hand had not been seen in nearly an hour while the Lady Melisandre had been said to be sacrificing Septons to R’Hllor in what had been the Godswood. The City Watch had not even bothered, having no hope to stop the men who now surrounded the Keep. None had noticed the lights of a ship in the Blackwater Bay, drifting off into the distance as the night sky grew darker. A small crew had taken aboard the ship, Lord Davos and the other members of Stannis’s council, and an unshaven, portly man who spoke little but had informed that they Lord Tywin had been allowed into the city by the Poor Fellows and offered to guide them through a passage in the castle to the docks. The Lady Melisandre stood at the back of the boat, watching as the city grew smaller in the distance.

 

It had been nearly an hour since the battle had begun, and the men continued to fight. King Stannis had seemed to have taken the advantage as his infantry broke through the right flank before the remains of the Lannister horse engaged them. The clash had been ongoing, thousands lie dead while the foot fought hand to hand in the center of this great field. The horse of either side had acted largely as support, with the Lannister horse having been routed for some time. The battle seemed to have been determined, the Lannister foot was running dry, and the sheer number of the armored horse brought by Lord Tarly and House Florent was overwhelming to what was largely an army of footsoldiers. The men had begun to begin breaking, as the commander of the western flank, Ser Meryn Trant and Lord Westerling threw down their arms. This never mattered though, seconds later an ear defining boom could be heard before the sky lit to color so bright it seemed magic. Many simply stood in awe, staring at the bright sky, which seemed tinted green. Then the shout could be heard throughout the Baratheon Host, Wildfire.

 

Lord Tywin stood in awe at what sat before him. The city was gone, and in its place was a blaze of green and white. From the distance, it was both beautiful and horrifying. He looked at it somberly, utterly shocked for what may have been the first time in his entire life. He looked at his brother, who had returned with the fleeing cavalry to receive orders. “It is over.”

 

King Stannis received the news as the Lannister Host continued to flee into the distance, he had been calling for Tywin’s head, but no one had been listening to him. The city was gone, wildfire had been set off within the walls and saw most of the city up in flames. The snow turned to rain as the air around them heated. King Stannis rode his horse across the field, followed by his men as they approached the city. He looked up at what had been his only months before. He had known what had happened, he may have been the only one. He stood quietly for what seemed like hours before he told Lord Tarly what he knew to mean the end of the battle. “The city is lost.”

Brotherhood without Banners

latest?cb=20170531015541

 

Things were cheerful inside of the hollhow hill. Things were going good, peace was returning to the Riverlands and the Brotherhood was prospering. Then a tired messenger with despair set on his face. This quietened the Brotherhood, especially as the messenger rushed to Lord Beric who was resting. He whispered in a hushed tone and Beric got a tone which was grieving. Then with solemn steps he moved towards the center of the hollow hill, where the majority of the main Broterhood was gathered. Amongst them a bald man who was cleaning his sword. Who also kept an eye on Beric.

 

Beric slowly breathed in and out. Before opening his voice to speak. “I have just recieved terrible news. Whilst King’s landing was being besieged someone or something ….......” Beric could almost not bear to speak the words, and looked straight at the bald man with great sympathy and pity in his eyes, speaking now in a especially mournful tone. “King’s landing is gone” 

 

silence

 

just silence

 

It was as if everyone there could not believe it. As if Beric had just misspoken or something, pillaged and raped sure, damaged also reasonable, but gone, simply gone. Amongst these people the bald man looked out into space. Almost most shocked of all. Then he began laughing, not joyful laughter or even the laughter of sadness. But a laugh of sadness and with a hint of madness hidden inside of it. The bald man laughed, and laughed and laughed. Laughed as tears flowed out of his eyes, laughed as the Brotherhood turned to him with sympathy and laughed as he was brought to his cot. He laughed for hours until he lost the energy to continue laughing and merely sobbed. With an armored woman having an arm around him the entire time.

 

Whilst the bald man left the meeting Beric looked to the rest of the Brotherhood, still sadness but also conviction in his eyes now. “Previously through paltry evidence I presumed that nobility were not fit to rule us. Both through my own experience and the proof of the recent war. Yet that what has just happened they are just mere footnotes.

 

His conviction was now filled with passion. “This is what happens if the nobility has the power. When one man has the power to destroy the greatest city of Westeros in but a moment.” Though passion now filled his voice his voice did not louden, but Beric spoke in a quiet and deadly voice. “No man should have that power yet we live in a realm where by mere birthright a man can have the power of life and death of us. Now look at where this had lead us.

 

Beric shook his head. “No, we must not live in a realm where this is possible but we do.” He then glanced around the room. At the gathered crowd, with some still dazed but all deadly quiet. “We do live in such a realm,  we live in a realm where Stannis or other madmen can decide our lives on a mere whim. Where they can destroy entire cities. Where we are oppressed. Where we lose nearly all of our food and craft and keep but a fraction of our goods. We do live in such a realm” Beric’s voice entered a more sad tone at the end of his sentence. Yet after a long breath his sole eye was filled with fury.

 

We live in such a realm. Our descendants will live in such a realm unless we do something about this. Unless we do something about this all the lives lost in King’s landing will have been in vain.

 

Then Beric spoke in a loud booming voice, shaterring any people from their passive state. “SO MY BROTHERS IN ARMS. KNIGHTS OF THE HOLLOW HILL. RISE UP !!!! RISE UP AGAINST OUR OPRESSORS AND BREAK OUR CHAINS !!!! KING’S LANDING WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN !!!!!

 

 

Actions

The Brotherhood would expand throughout the whole of the Crownlands. With branches being put in the settlements and towns. [MOD]

 

The Brotherhood, in order to mitigate the disaster of the loss of King’s landing. Help provide aid around the Crownlands. Setting up Blacksmiths and other crafts which the villages and smaller towns usually relied upon from King’s Landing. Making it so that the loss of King’s landing would hit less hard in the Crownlands and to help those in need. Giving the people a source of hope. [MOD]

 

With the Destruction of King’s Landing the brotherhood anti-nobility rhetoric grows more heated. Attributing the loss of half a million lives to the nobility due to their arrogance and that people could, by mere birthright, decide the lives of so many people. With many of the same arguments as in Beric’s spread being spread throughtout mainly the Crownlands but also in the Riverlands and a little bit in the Reach and the Stormlands. [MOD]

 

In order to set up a stable foodsupply for Winter extra fishing boats are made. These are to work off the coast and in the rivers of the Riverland to gain more fish for the Smallfolk who are in need. This is done as fish is a stable food and still possible to be gathered during Winter with less problems. [MOD]

 

Meanwhilst the blacksmiths of affiliates of the Brotherhood and of the Brotherhood are to work on putting looted armor into something resembling a standardized set of armor and equipment. With them working to properly equip the Brotherhood. [MOD]

 

With this making of equipment a sigil is to be drawn onto shields and other equipment of the men. A dark green colour. The colour of wildfire. A sign that King’s Landing will not be forgotten [MOD]

Victory at a price

 

King Stannis Baratheon rode across the fields of King’s Landing. Lannister, Tarly, and Baratheon men alike littered the battleground. In the distance, a massive pillar of smoke trailed off into the sky. King’s Landing was lost..

 

But it mattered not, there was nothing that could be done now. The individual responsible would be punished justly. What mattered was the victory that had been won on the fields of King's Landing. The Lannisters who had dared oppose the King had been swept from the field, sent reeling back into whatever hole they came from.

 

oN4PAFdIWiKq1GQg8V3_HDW8nVRgfcTsfabCPrgJxcRyMVyiW0rxmx2bjA9p2gpry87GRdmPpNwmnnEhsB5D8e7pN229y_gjBylM7KRWZxl5hTeacwEyKwy7HgGp0JoNb3zAcmjH

 

A rider approached the contemplating King, in his hand a message. He extended it towards the man. “Your Grace, word from the Crow’s Nest.” Stannis grabbed the message, reading through it quickly. He thought to himself a moment before responding “send out the order, rally the men, we march at dawn” with that he sent the man off. Looking back to the ruins of King’s Landing only another moment before turning back down the hill, his enemies were still many.


A New Contender

 

Several months ago, yet another King entered the game. Landing in the Stormlands and seizing the Griffon’s Roost shortly after, the supposed Aegon VI now ran rampant in the Stormlands. With the King’s host otherwise occupied, messages are dispatched to every castle and lord.  They are granted permission to raise as many men as needed and every Castle is to hold out to the very last as their now King had held Storm’s End during Robert’s Rebellion.

Any Lord who surrenders their castle with no fight, or bends the knee to the false king will be punished accordingly. “They have strong men, strong walls, and winter provisions, all they must do is hold”


The King’s Promise

 

The destruction of King’s Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms had weighed heavy on the morale of the men, this was something that could not allow to happen. The King’s host had been with him, through hell and back; the fight was not yet finished. Pretenders still challenged rule from Storm’s End, now all their homeland’s were directly under threat.

 

In order to raise morale, and give the men a purpose to fight for their king. Stannis Baratheon promises every man under the flaming Stag a sum of coins for their service. Additionally, any man who distinguishes himself in leadership, or on the field will be granted knighthood.


A New Capital

 

With the Lannister threat eliminated, and a new army under Stannis’s Command. Additionally, A Lannister pledge of funding to help rebuild the capital and further unite the realm extensively helps the situation. With this in mind, King Stannis orders that construction of a new Capital where King’s Landing once stood is to begin. First with a Keep, after long discussions with the newly befriended Tywin Lannister it is decided that the new structure will  be the jewel of the realm, An eternal testament to the men who would see it built.

Laborers, Architects, Stone masons, Blacksmiths, and much more from across the Seven Kingdom’s are summoned to the building site. The workers (or their lords) are promised gold for their services to the King. Under the supervision, protection, and help of the Lannister army, progress is expected to go well


Actions

 

-Reconstruction of a new capital in the old ones place is begun (see above)

-Every stronghold in the Stormlands is ordered to fight to the last

-Every castle in the Stormlands is to prepare for a siege until the Targaryean threat is lifted
-The lords of the Stormlands are called to raise more men (pms)

-Ser Davos Seaworth & The Princess Shireen are called to rejoin the main host from Dragonstone. The time has come to begin tutoring Shireen on how ruling a Kingdom is to be done

-Every Stormlander is promised a sum of coins for their service, should they die it would be given to their families. Additionally, distingushed fighters and leaders will be granted knighthood.

Several days following the Battle of King’s Landing


 

Lord Tywin Lannister, Queen’s Regent, Warden of the West, Lord of Casterly Rock, and commander of the Lannister host sits in his splendid war tent. Around him were far fewer of his companions then common. Where once laughter and the clinking of glasses was heard, solemn silence is followed. Just two days ago the Lannister host had fled across the Blackwater, back towards home. Many brave companions had been left behind, and thousands of common men. Tywin himself was much tanner than usual. The sheer heat of King’s Landing burning to slag had seared his very skin.

 

As always Kevan sat to his right, though his left seat was empty. Cersei was gone. Jaime as good as gone. Tyrion an imp, and ruling in his stead far away. His grandchildren either missing or hostage. Even his cousins were far away, catering to the defense of the West. He was alone, his only company death. Though the Lannister host still marched in good order, many and more were dead. The lion still had claws, but what to use them on?

 

Troubling reports were coming in from all ends of the Realm. To the North only icy silence. The Vale was apparently on the brink of civil war. The Ironborn marauded the detestable men of the Reach, and to the south Tywin and Stannis’s personal war had seen an entire realm burnt and broken. Tywin was a man of pride and family honor, but what happens your entire family is dead, and no one is left to praise you? Ravens fly.

 

The Lannister Host stops, to the surprise of many Lords. Tywin calls a war council, and lords and knights great and small summoned. The martial power of the West, those that are alive, join the council. Lannister Regulars stand guard outside the tent, with the new Dragon Lances. And for twelve hours, the men inside the tent are heard speaking.

 

Finally Tywin Lannister and Kevan come out of their tent. After having conferred with the Iron Throne, and their own Lords, it was determined this pointless war must end. However the Army of the Seven and Lord Tywin would always ensure the rights of the realms citizenry who worshipped the Seven.

 

Regardless, the blood bath is concluded. Swallowing his pride, Lord Tywin and his lords head to the ashes of King’s Landing to bend the Knee. Stannis awaits them on the fields of King’s Landing, surrounded by the dead and the dying, still victorious.

Further east, across the Blackwater, Stannis I of house Baratheon sat as a victorious King of the Ashes. Many of his men were dead, his capital a plume of smoke on the horizon. He sat deep in thought, until a rider burst into his tent. “Your Grace, our outriders say the host is marching on Kings Landing!” Stannis, clearly surprised they would try for another fight proclaims “Then I will destroy Lord Tywin sooner then I thought.” The outrider looking a bit frightened stammers “It is said he marches, to bend”


Only hours later, the Lannisters had arrived. The two hosts once more face to face, no longer in terms of war and battle, but of negotiation and peace. After minimal formalities and pleasantries Tywin of house Lannister bent before King Stannis I of House Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the first men, Protector of the Realm, and Lord of Dragonstone. The war against the West was finally finished, and the whole of the Realm let out a sigh of relief. Long had the bloodshed and war laid heavy on the small folk, now it was over… Only one pretender to the throne remained.
