I'm fine with other people getting rolls, but I really don't want to be subject to that myself. I mean, I have my nation idea already all fleshed out already, there's no need to randomize it.

@Vahir

The point of the RP is you take a roll, you work with what you get and create a nation from that. It was made clear in the rules, you dont decide if you have a roll or not.

Lord Jakob Frey, Lord of the Crossing Jakob sighed finally. It seemed they had all over confused things. Too much was at stake and nobody wanted to be the one to go first in case others did not follow, leaving them high and dry. The fact was the Targaryen boy had done nothing to solicit want of change. Sure he was out of favour by some, but that was politics, and the boy was king that had done nothing wrong. He would be given a chance. No they needed to bide their time and create a need for change. Changing tact Jakob appealed to both parties in a final gambit. "We are struggling because allies are not hard and fast. People are loyal to the king because he has not slipped up. Vernan you may despise politics but that is how we must play at first. Charging in because you want a crown is not wise, have a real reason. So, we split up, we know we have the Westerlands and Stormlands, I will work on the Riverlands and Vale so we can count on their support. Vernan to must talk to the Dornish, I have already spoken but I feel I am less than trusted there, meanwhile Lady Baratheon will talk to the Tyrells, hell two centuries ago the two houses were supposed to be wed. Once those meetings are done we decide our next plan. We need the king to fail, for his appearance to be one of tyrannical reign, once done we then are able to move on the ideal of 'Unseating a mad man'. With that Casus-Belli, we can put anyone on the throne, by winning the war they win the public. And we can discuss marriage once we know our allies. Are we in agreement now?"

Lord Jakob Frey, Lord of the Crossing Jakob was now listening. It seemed that the Baratheon girl was smart. This was good, but also she was naive, the Stark boy must have known about the rumours. Who gets into bed with a family rumoured to plot against your King and best friend? No the Lannisters were at an impasse. Vernan couldn't just announce a regency in place for his daughters child, and no one would ever accept Khailey as a lone Queen. A man needed to wed Khailey that could take the throne. Jakob was not the man, the Freys would never be accepted, and his only other contact with clout was the Tullys. But recently their status of Great House was limited to the Riverlands. It was strange to see the Baratheon girl so set on the North, and so Jakob decided on a plan. "Right, let's put aside marriage and deals and the like for now. Look at the facts 'IF' they were to go down like this. The Westerlands, Riverlands and Stormlands march on the capital. In response we are annihilated by a superior force from everywhere else. The bulwark of these troops coming from regions ruled by one large family. The Starks, Tyrells and Targaryens are not going to break. But if we can bring in the Martells. We will out number, and that will be our chance. The Riverlands can hold the North at the Trident, a joint force of Lannisters and Martells will hold the Tyrells. That leaves us the Vale and Stormlands to take the capital, which holds the least number of men. Meaning very soon those men can aid in the destruction of the Tyrells. We will need the Martells for this too work. And I don't know what they want." Jakob sighed and rubbed his temples. "Look, if House Frey receives the Riverlands, if I can promise the Tullys they will receive the Vale, if I get a wife. Be it Baratheon or Lannister. I will support this, but only if we can bring in the Martells as well. I will discuss other boons once the war is over. There is no other way, unless you want to break up the ruling family. Which I highly doubt, we cannot offer any of them more than what they already have. And that still leaves the problem of the King, Vernan you cannot make yourself a regent, you are not head of House and there is no precedent to then hand over leadership since you will not be holding it for someone, rather the hope that a child is born. Either you take the throne, and be forced to fight your brother for the House, or you marry your daughter to someone, be it myself or another, and they take the throne. You have no other option."

Jack smiled and nodded his thanks to the governor, it was a good start that the two men could hold a peaceful and reasonable conversation. The Red Coats would be influential on policy to come, he just didn't want there to be a lack of communication. Right now he wanted exactly what the governor wanted. "I'm glad we can work together on this Governor. I assure you, until the colony can maintain more men, I will not bring more in. I don't want to stretch our resources further than needed. Anyway, as you said now is the time for merriment. I am not going to drink myself, but enjoy yourself Governor." With that Jack left the governors side. Making his way over to the door he decided he would spend some time outside, just enjoying the fresh air. Before he retired for the night.

Jack smiled and leaned in too the conversation with the governor. "Aye governor, we're the company. My men, and I, have been ordered to act towards benefiting the colony in any way we can. Right now it seems policing and monitoring borders is how we are best suited, and so thats what my men are doing." Walking over he made it so that to governor no longer had to shout or contort his body to hear. "Governor right now the company is doing just fine, however I am sure there are plans to expand and I have a number of requests to make. Firstly I wish to be present in any, and all, planning in what directions the colony should take. As well as that I wish to have your permission to make a request for more men to be sent from the company. The homeland will soon be requesting a profit of sorts and that means expansion. Expansion means more settlers and more ground to cover. I will need the men to keep the people safe. I don't want to go over your head with this which is why I am putting the request to you first."

"So...let's say she had the body of an elf, the face of a human and the rack of a dwarf." "Well in which case I would have to plough her more times than you could count." This response was met with vigorous laughter from the small group of men, hunched round a small camp fire, just on the outskirts of the colony, overlooking the fields. There was a slight cling as plate slapped plate, the men's heaving stomachs being the only real noise in the desolate quiet of this new world. It was a strange contract, but a well paid one that would reap many rewards. The men hadn't been faced by too much hassle, and maintaining the borders and some police work was all they had been tasked with as of yet. Jack Sullam, Commander and Chief of the Red Coat Mercenary Company's Colonial Venture, was doing the rounds for a final time. Checking up on his posts and patrols he seemed happy with the work that had been done. Their numbers would be stretched thin is the colony expanded much further but by then he could put in a request for more men. Finally content with the security Jack decided to make his way to the mead hall. He had no plans to drink himself, it clouded his judgement, but he had to make the appearance that the company was part of the colony and not just their walls. Stepping into the crowded building he was almost suffocated by the stench of ale and smoke. It was almost too dark and rancid to maneuver in, though as his eyes adjusted he finally made his way through the labyrinth of people. Making his way to the head of the hall he stood, close enough to the governor so his presence was known but far enough away so as not to instigate any problems with the governors own guards. A strange decision to send them, the company had been clear on working with the colony. It was bad business to hold anything ulterior over an employer.

Lord Jakob Frey, Lord of the Crossing Jakob went wide eyed as the Lannister mentioned the men. Was it really happening this soon? Allies couldn't be that many in number already. He had no rumours in the Riverlands and with the support for the King still being quite strong it would not be enough men. Sighing Jakob rubbed his eyes and looked at Vernan. "You're bold, and you are smart. But fifteen thousand men will not take the capital. The North alone can raise three times, who will all march south, that and that's not including anybody else who flocks too the Dragon. You may think you have a chance, but before I declare any support for you I need to know who supports you. Do you have the ear of the Tyrells? The Martells? Lets say you have your own men, fifty, and then the Storm lands, another thirty. That's only eighty thouasand in total. Now with the Riverlands and the Vale, who despise the Baelishs more than I do, your would get another eighty or ninety thousand men. But If that's all then it will be close, and it will be hard fought." Jakob then thought of what they could do. The Trident could hold the North if adequately defended, and that would leave men free to try for the capital. But that wouldn't answer the question of other armies. "If you want assurances of support then you would have to cough up a lot. I would want the Riverlands, I would need the Tullys to take the Vale. I would need a large sum of gold and..." Jakob trailed off slightly. "...Khailey. If you want alliance, I get a wife. Though I don't see how she will put a son on the throne if she is married to myself? The Kingdoms need a king, and I doubt you would want to put me on the throne. Because I will be no puppet. So let me be clear, unless you want a Frey on the throne, Khailey cannot marry me and without a marriage. I wont whip the Riverlands for your coup."

Thanks for the clarification, i just wanted to know how much freedom we had with demographics.

Also...is there a limit on the races other than human. Obviously you have said low fantasy..and I want a human nation, but would some dwarf and elf immigrants that are racially trodden on be acceptable.
