@Masterkeun Nice post but a few continuity errors. All of Jon and Dany's children are riders, and none of the other eggs have hatched yet. As such there would be no wild dragons in the Riverlands, which would definitely be a big deal that I would have noted. And while there are many dragonseeds on Dragonstone, due to the generations of Targaryen bastardy and the insular population, this would not be the same case in the Red Keep; as the current generation of Targs aren't the type to sire bastards for the most part. Viserys might, but he lives in Summerhall most of the time and Jon or Aemon certainly wouldn't. In any case I seriously doubt the Freys would have been able to smuggle one out of the Red Keep without being discovered and there was no prior IC build up for such a plan so I'd prefer that to be omitted as well.

@agentmanatee As long as he doesn't whack anyone who could be useful to me later :P

@agentmanatee It's one of those suspense of disbelief things. IIRC there weren't any serious casualties in either grand melee described in the books. Injuries yes, but no notable characters are noted as dying in either occasion. Of course there can be some deaths in our melee but for the sake of game progression let's avoid the deaths of PCs and important NPCs ie notable warriors and scions of noble houses.

@Abefroeman When the Dothraki send their people they're not sending their best.

There's honestly no firm defined method to hatch a dragon egg without committing a blood sacrifice as far as I can see, but presumably the Targs had one. But Aerion is the blood of the dragon so it should be possible for him to hatch an egg and ride a dragon, but that would definitely create a splash.

I'll have something late tonight or tomorrow.

Actually that's one of the plot points of the RP. There's quite a bit of ethnic conflict up north between the wildlings and the other Northerners, and in the Riverlands between the native-born and the Essosi. There will always be those who won't follow the law however, and I'm sure there's bands of Dothraki outlaws and Wildlings raiders just as there are regular bandits. But we see that the Dothraki are perfectly capable of eschewing tradition to follow Daenerys and are seemingly content with being in her army. And the Thenns in the books aren't terribly far off from a fuedal system. It's not a black and white thing where all of them are shoeboxed one way or another. Some of them will be unhappy and some of them will adapt.
In Westeros nobody is legally allowed to pillage villages, slaughter peasants, and make off with the women, though we all know in times of war these things happen anyway but it's still a crime. The Ironborn can still reave but they're expressly forbidden to do so against citizens of the realm. And it's not like Dothraki can't still do it doggy style in front of everyone else, have lethal weddings, hunt the shit out of wildlife, and all the other fun stuff they do. The ones in Westeros just have to keep the king's peace like anyone else.

Dany is a pretty strong-willed person, not one for compromise, but war, marriage, having kids, and twenty-five years of ruling changed her a lot in this RP.

@agentmanatee Yeah but keep in mind it's gonna be a huge event and Jon likely won't interact with anyone besides Rhaegar. We're talking hundreds of fighters, so the odds of the king directly fighting anyone are pretty low and it's mostly a chance for your PCs to show off combat skill without hurting anyone too bad.

@kingkonrad Yeah I plan on responding to them in my forthcoming mini-update.
@Asura Oh I'm sure a Dothraki mercenary band would be very popular to those with money and the Dothraki who followed Daenerys were still a quarrelsome and war-loving bunch who loved drinking and riding. They just couldn't enslave or murder innocents anymore.
@Asura Oh that's up to you actually. I left the details of Victarion's demise vague. He could either have died in battle or died sometime after the war.

Well someone had to have taken care of the Pyke and I think Asha would have recognized the value of loyal bastards.

Do you still want to do a Dothraki sheet as well?

@kingkonrad Viserys is a pretty hardheaded dude and most of the rest of my PCs are badasses but controlled.
NPC Arya has turned downright scary though.
Mah gawd, all these hardcore PCs might cause King's Landing to implode with testosterone.

I like to think Asha wouldn't raise her nephew to be a soulless murder machine like Gregor but who knows?


They paid the Iron Price.
Ah Ironborn, my favorite group of Cthulhu-worshiping thieves and murderers.
