[quote=@MrDidact] Edited the main page to reflect changes in the backstory and the new events. [hider=Events] (where important milestones in the game will be recorded) (A year has now passed in-game) - The marriage of Prince Aemon Targaryen to Tyrion Lannister's daughter, Joanna, where the Stepstoner rebels tried to assassinate the royal family with the aid of dark magic. All survived and thus began the newest war to suppress the islands. - The Iron Throne sends an army to the Red Mountains to crush the Vultures. After many hard battles, the Iron Throne prevailed and the Vultures were rooted out of Hellgate Hall, the rebellion utterly crushed. Many heroes were awarded for their service. - The Scorpion King is killed in battle, his rebel fleets crushed and his allies including the exile Kraken out to flight. As with the Red Mountains, many young champions are given high honors for their contributions. - The Mountain Clans of the Vale finally submit, due to the expert diplomacy of Tyrion Lannister and Mychel Arryn. The Clans now vow fealty to Lord Robin, allowing the Valemen to expand their mining, timber, and farming trade. Tensions between the two peoples are high, and the Vale itself is divided by the so-called peace, with many lords and smallfolk resenting the treatment of wildlings as neighbors. - Tommen Lannister is knighted and married to Alerie Tyrell in a glorious ceremony uniting two great families and angering many lords and commonfolk in both the Westerlands and the Reach. The insurgent campaigns of the Reynes and the Gardeners continues. - William Bolton is named Lord of the Dreadfort, an appointment that has caused unrest in the North. Many others, such as Mirren Sand, Ser Aerion Goldfyre, Taria Greyjoy, Seran of Lys, Ser Ellion Tyrell, and the dragon princes themselves are also rewarded in various manners for their victory over the rebel Stepstoners. - Agents of the crown secretly uncover that a number of clergymen in the Grand Sept have been making free with septas and congregants, which the High Septon sought to keep quiet. The High Septon avoids any real consequences but the offending priests are forced to reveal any associations with Sparrow rebels. Those who comply are exiled to the Watch, those who do not are executed as traitors. The scandal itself is kept under wraps so as not to bring shame to the Faith. The rebel sparrows continue troubling the realm, using the deaths as supposed proof of the unholiness of the Targaryen dynasty. - Along with his siblings and father, Ser Mantarys is honored for his contribution to the Iron Throne. He is given the hand of Jonquil Celtigar, a former septa and one of the Grant Sept victims, and is made the legal father of her child. Though many claim that boy is actually Aemon's and it is said that the Prince intended to take her on as a second wife, a move that would have caused no end of trouble. The marriage has further inflamed the famous rivalry between the two dragon riders. - With the aid of Qarth and the Tigers of Volantis, the New Masters have begun raising a host to reinstate slavery in Dragon's Bay. Meanwhile, Mantarys, Elyria, and Tolos have bent the knee to Archon Valarr who has declared a New Valyrian Empire and begun resettling ruined cities abandoned in the wake of the Doom. The Three Daughters now war with Braavos and Pentos as the Dothraki loyal to Daenerys war with the great khalasar that has formed to return the Dothraki to their raiding ways. - Several dragons are born at the same time in a dramatic hatching ceremony, and Prince Aemon's son Aegon has bonded with one while his lady wife is already pregnant and awaiting another child soon. Various tensions run high in the Kingdom as wars in the east loom and minor rebellions continue while rivalries fester. [/hider] Here is a brief summary of events in the interim period, but of course more has gone on besides. Chime in with your thoughts please. [/quote] I like the overall resolution to the Arryn and Tully stuff. Let's see what I can chime in with... [hider=Arryns]- After helping bring the Mountain Clans into the fold, Mychel continued to serve for many months as Knight Herald under Tyrion, often returning to the Vale to keep an eye on the transition. Over time, he developed a relationship of sorts with Cronun, less of a friendship than a respectful practical partnership to maintain order. - Eventually, Mychel starts to build his own power base in the Vale as an unofficial peacekeeping instrument. A year after Cronun's submission to the Iron Throne, Mychel's scheme develops into a parallel government of sorts. A cold war of sorts brews between Mychel's supporters and Ser Harrold's Winged Knights over dominance of the court in the Eyrie, with Robin and the lords of the Vale caught in the middle. Mychel is on increasingly friendly terms with Tyrion, even as the two start to have political disagreements, due largely to Mychel leaning more and more towards an authoritarian and isolationist worldview. - Robin Arryn becomes increasingly withdrawn and indecisive in the face of high tensions within his own household and between the Valemen and the Mountain Clans. His rule is beginning to revert to the was of his youth, as he delegates more power and responsibilities to the Iron Throne and his court with each passing month. His strained relationship with his son and heir sees no improvement, further complicated by the fact that Mychel is now a representative of the Iron Throne as well as the future Lord Paramount. - Maybe he has by now had a fling with Ellion Tyrell? x3 [/hider] [hider=Tullys]- Catelyn mostly remained in King's Landing after uncovering and helping prosecute the corrupt members of the Faith, only making a brief trip back to the Riverlands to see her family and gather information on the state of affairs in her homeland. Valerys has remained by her side throughout the year, albeit still presentin himself in court as a friend to House Tully, rather than her paramour. - Her original purpose fulfilled, she now dedicates herself to investigating and prosecuting other crimes being committed in the Seven Kingdoms. Over the course of the year, she has tackled the clandestine slave trade and helped prosecute several lawbreaking nobles in King Jon's court. However, she is also increasingly tempted to return home and assume once more her role as her father's justiciar, and has developed a rivalry of sorts with the High Septon, unsatisfied with the impunity he has enjoyed thus far. In court, she openly advocates for populist political reforms, which often puts her at odds with her more authoritarian cousin Mychel Arryn. - Roslin Frey gave birth to twin boys, Eddard and Brynden Tully, both of them healthy and very much like their parents. - Sylvester Tully continued to fight outlaws and rebels in the Riverlands with great success, and spent much of the rest of the year in the Isle of Faces, rather than Riverrun. As of late, he has started to journey outside of the Riverlands, leading his own band of Rivermen knights, most of them worshippers of the Old Gods, to fight against various foes and hunt down dangerous monsters. - The situation in the Riverlands has improved somewhat, thanks in part to Catelyn's success in persecuting some of the figures behind the rebel sparrows. Edmure Tully's increasingly unorthodox but effective coalition has continued to provide a modicum of calm and order in the region, even though it still is a flimsy political structure built in no small part on good will and exhaustive micromanagement, with not enough coin or manpower directly in the hands of the Tullys to sustain itself in the face of unforeseable widespread disasters.[/hider]
