[@MrDidact] I know Dorne is outside Esoss, but I wanted to phrase things through Steffon who doesn't understand the uniqueness of water magic at this time. We also wouldn't be allies with the Boltons as we'd put them in the same category as the Starks. Military leaders who lead to the downfall of our people. The Frey's are meant to be busying themselves with rebuilding bridges and fixing there situation while the Bolton's seemingly aren't doing more then begging. Mable is very much in character to yell at William who is in many ways her opposite. I wouldn't say that Steffon shares her animosity, but Mable isn't a diplomat or strategist. Steffon however would be aware that in the war against the Lannisters the Boltons purposefully massacred there northern allies. Twenty percent of the army were the Frey's meaning the Boltons lost us an entire generation of Frey's purposefully. When in a similar situation the Starks betrayed us our loyalty didn't stick with Rob either. [@MrDidact] absolutely, I was thinking a collab is an awesome idea as both characters are opposites in many ways. It would also help to show the difference in tactics to regain power. The Bolton's doing subtle plays behind the scenes as the Frey's try to stand out in the Riverlands to show why there of use to the Tully's [@bloonewb]
