"... My Lords, My Lords! Here is what I say to these Two Kings:

Spits on the ground, to the amusement of the Northern Lords.

Renly Baratheon is nothing to me. Nor Stannis neither! Why should they rule over me and mine from some flowery seat in the south? What do they know of the Wall, the Wolfswood? Even their Gods are wrong! Why shouldn't we rule ourselves again? It was the Dragons we bowed to, and now the Dragons are dead.

There stands the only King I mean to bow my knee to!

The King in the North!"

- Lord Greatjon Umber of Last Hearth

"I'll have peace on those terms! They can keep their Red Castle. And their Iron Chair too!

The King in the North!"

- Lord Galber Glover of Deepwood Motte

"I am I your brother, now and always?

My sword is yours, in victory and defeat, from this day until my last day.

The King in the North!"

-Theon Greyjoy of Winterfell

​

So it is true what Ned Stark told us in a recently received raven. Treachery and sin reign over the Iron Throne in the name of the so called King Joffrey. Lord Stark, one of the most honorable man in all Westeros, has been assassinated by the Lannisters. And yes, assassinated and not executed, for when a man has been granted pardon and he is later betrayed, it is not justice but a murder. Murdered as our brother Robert, also by the hand of the Lannisters.

And who is to blame of such an evil act? Joffrey, that cruel and mindless kid who wants to set all Westeros on fire. Than son who claims to be King. But he is no King. He is just a creature of a sinful act. Some would say he is the rightful King and the true heir of Robert Baratheon, and they would be right except for one important detail: he is not Robert´s son. Ned Stark knew that, and it is why he was murdered. Look at Joffrey: is he black haired, as all true sons of house Baratheon? No! He shares the same blonde hair as his mother...the same as the Kingslayer.

People of Westeros! Joffrey Lannister is nothing but a bastard who covets the Iron Throne and won´t stop until his bloodthrist has been satisfied! He has given proof of that when he murdered the Hand of his own father, the deceased King of Westeros. And he is no ordinary bastard, but one born out of incest and lies, a son of brother and sister. Such a monster shall be removed from Earth, and so we devote to do.

Therefore, the answer remains easy. Robert Baratheon died without true heirs, as her bitch Queen only gave birth to incestuous and Lannister kids. Therefore, the succession laws are clear: I, Stannis of House Baratheon, I´m the rightful King of Westeros, and so is proved by this document, signed by the deceased King Robert, in which he names Lord Stark as Protector of the Realm, who clearly understood that I was his rightful heir.

The Iron Throne is ours; opose us, and you will perish under the power of R´hllor, lord of Light. Recognize us as your true King, and you will be rewarded as a man of justice.

To Rob Stark, Lord of Winterfell and protector of the North: we understand your rage and your claims of justice. We fought together with your father, and was a good friend of our house, as Baratheons and Starks have always been. Join our cause, and we promise your Father will be avenged, your rights will be respected and your justice rewarded.

We call all our bannermen in our aid, and we instruct ser Davos Seaworth to come to Dragonstone, where he will be named Hand of the King, to discuss our common strategy.

We will prevail. For the night is dark and full of shadows.

Stannis Baratheon the First of His Name, King of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Lord of Dragonstone, Lord of Storm's End, Lord Paramount of the Stormlands, Warrior of Light, The Lord's Chosen and Son of Fire.

My father, the honourable Lord of Highgarden, speaks with clarity of wisdom.

How dare the Lannisters parade this farce before the Seven Kingdoms and call it justice! Lord Eddard of House Stark was a steadfast servant to the late King Robert. That a man of such established character would conspire to sell us into slavery at the hands of the Targaryens - the very tyrants he fought in rebellion - is beyond credulity. It is clear that Lord Stark was the victim of an insidious confederacy at the heart of King's Landing to silence the opponents of Lannister hegemony. And so it is now that a capricious usurper squats on the throne, denying it to the rightful successor.

But this crime could not be concealed. From all corners of the land, we bear witness to reports of Lannister perfidy. The north has risen in rebellion. These Seven Kingdoms speak as one in their opposition to this illegitimate succession. Joffrey Lannister rules in King's Landing alone; that is, if the common folk do not themselves raise banners against him. He must concede to reality. If he, and his house, do not surrender now, they shall achieve nothing but bloodshed and disorder.

I pledge myself to our lord and master, King Renly of House Baratheon, in his rightful cause as true heir to the Iron Throne!

Seaworth_sigil_coat.png

Your Grace, with all due respect I have arrived here but I must speak open as ever and remind yourself that I am just a lowborn smuggler and your lords and knights will never respect myself as your hand. There are certainly more worthy lords like your brother-in-law, Lord Florent, or Lord Celtigar. I am not even able to read and write nor I am well educated in the adminstrative and heraldic matters. I am your man though and obey your Grace and will of course do my best to help your rightful ascension to the throne of Westeros.

I remain your humble servant.

Stannis Baratheon's accusations are petty and only worthy of tavern hall prattle. His baseless and disgusting accusations, which I refuse to repeat, paint a picture to the Lords and Ladies of the realm exactly what sort of man attempts to become our "King". I deny absolutely any of his charges against me, in which he substitutes the words of a traitor for actual proof. Moreover he, having forsaken the Seven as being worthless to his failed cause, has adopted some freakish cult from across the Narrow Sea as his patron.

I call upon my Son, the one true King Joffrey, first of his name, to destroy the Lord of Dragonstone and all who support him.

- Lady Cersei Lannister of Kings Landing, Queen Mother.


50px-House_Baelish.PNG


In the name of King Joffrey, First of his Name, I hereby declare any trade with the Lords of the Narrow Sea that have declared for Stannis an act of treason. Any ships carrying his colours will be attacked as pirates, and goods bought or sold to Dragonstone shall be considered contraband.

Long Live the King.

-Lord Petyr Baelish, Master of Coin

At Riverrun, Public statements by the King in the North:"King Joffrey Baratheon is neither a true king nor a true Baratheon. The North is willing to make peace with the Lannisters. They must release all the prisoners they are holding, including my sisters. They must also return the bones of Eddard Stark, and all the other Northerners they have murdered, along with Lord Stark's sword Ice. But most of all, Joffrey, Tywin Lannister and the Queen Regent must renounce all claim to the Riverlands and the North, and any other lands that choose to join us. From this time until the end of time we are not part of their Kingdom but a free and independant Kingdom of the North.

If they meet these terms, I will release one of their captives every year they honor the peace, ending with the Kingslayer. If not, I will continue littering the South with Lannister dead. And be warned that any misfortune that befalls one of my sisters will befall Jaimie Lannister as well.

To the true Baratheons, I offer my friendship and that of my Kingdom. I urge them to unite against the common foe, and agree to convene a Great Council, as has been done to settle disputed succession in the past.

To all other lords of Westeros, I call upon you to resist the tyrrany of the false King Joffrey."

Other publicly known decisions:
*Wyman Manderlay was named Master of Coin, Edmure Tully Master of Laws, Ser Bryndyn the Blackfish the Lord Warden of the Southern Marches. The King hasn't made a decision as to whether to have a formal instituion such as the Small Council, or a Hand of the King.
*Royal consent was given to Lord Manderlay to begin minting silver coins in his name.
*Also in White Harbor, the first Northern warships in centuries were commissioned.
*Robb Stark's 30 battle companions were made into a formal martial brotherhood, the Wolfsguard. Unlike the Kingsguard, membership is not for life, nor does it require the renunciation of inheritance and marriage.

Robb's War Council then met in private to discuss their plans, and several small parties were seen leaving Riverrun in the predawn hours bearing messages too sensitive to be entrusted to ravens.
 
OOC: Another point of clarification, is a character listed as NPC entirely outside our control? In my case, could I send Catelyn as an emissary, even though she is an NPC?
Also, I'm not sure Loras merits being a player character, as all the forces he's likely to lead would be consider either his father's men or Renly's. Considering Renly is currently unclaimed, maybe that would be a better character to play. Food for thought.
 
OOC: I wasn't originally planning to take so significant a character, but since Renly is unclaimed yet has three PCs pledged to him, I'll move up to avoid any accompanying awkwardness that this would cause.

Name: Renly
House: Baratheon
Location: Storm's End

The King, Joffrey "Baratheon" has finally shown his true colours. As a sign of the Iron Throne's decadence, the so called "King" of Westeros ordered the execution of man, Neddard Stark, for his own sick pleasure. This incestuous pup has no right, no authority to rule over any stretch of our land!. These centuries of corrupt rule from the Iron Throne have brought nothing but ruin to our great islands. The old ways, and the name of the Drowned God, have been shamed....but no longer. The Iron Islands will take what is theirs! Our ships and soldiers will reap the Greenlands, will plunder their wealth and take the women as salt wives! From this day forth I, Balon Greyjoy, will rule as King of the Iron Islands. What is dead may never die!

~ King Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands

I, Hoster Tully, do swear myself and the Riverlands to the King in the North, Robb Stark, First of his name. Death to the Lannister invaders!

OOC: Formalities. :D

((NPCs that are sworn to you can be commanded. While they are still not controlled directly by you, you can give them orders.

Catelyn can be used as an emissary, for example, but you can't dictate her exact words (unless you tell her to).))

OOC:I'm assuming Non-player vassals can likewise be ordered, but might act as they see fit.

Last question, willl we be getting stats as far as how much money and how many troops we have, and where?

((Troops, yes. Money, no.

An economy stat is was way too complicated to implement and didn't matter when you consider most of the Kings chose to ignore any debt they had and carried on as normal))

((Their ability to do so without consequences varied, but it's probably not worth the headache of tracking numbers. For instance Tywin Lannister could spend as much as he wanted, but Jofferey/Cersei actually ran into budget problems (because Grandpa was a d-bag and wouldn't crap out some more gold). Perhaps an economy scale from Strong to Weak might serve?))

((Even that would complicate things. I'll implement budget problems through in game events, though

Also, preliminary troop counts here. Correct at will, because this is very subjective stuff working on very vague evidence.))

Code: 
		Fleet	Army
			
STANNIS		150	6000
	DAVOS	30	500
ROBB		20	30000
	HOSTER	30	15000
RENLY		60	25000
	TYRELL	40	35000
	REDWYNE	200	5000
	HIGHTOWER 30	5000
GREYJOY		210	10000
JOFFREY		60	16000
	TYWIN	60	40000
 
((The Renly/Tyrell faction could stand a bump, as 100,000 is the figure most often mentioned for that army. Of course that makes the power imbalance between him and Stannis even more deranged. I suppose we can say people simply miscounted.

I'm assuming this represents "in the field" forces, not the maximum we could ever raise. Depleting our manpower reserves being represented by events and such. With their deep pockets and closer population it should be easier for the Tyrells and Lannisters to replace their losses than us Starks.

Oh, and are the Freys counted under Robb's army, or Hoster Tully's? They were already with Robb before reaching Riverrun, but are legally Tully vassals, so it could go either way. Rather a bureaucratic nitpick, but potnetially important.))
 
House_Hightower.png

House Hightower stands alongside Lord Tyrell, as both a loyal bannerman and a loving father-in-law. King Renly Baratheon is the true keeper of the Iron Throne, not the product of incest which is Joffrey.

I do not understand Paxter Redwyne's indecision. Does he not believe the late lord Stark, the entire family of true Baratheons, or even our good Lord Tyrell?

- Lord Leyton Hightower, Voice of Oldtown, Lord of the Port, Lord of the High Tower, Defender of the Citadel, and Beacon of the South
 
(( The idea in the books was that the Stormlands and Reach hosts, IE Renly's army, together numbered 80 000, and their mounted forces (which in the books were sent to meet Stannis at Storm's End) numbered 20 000 - the numbers that Plank posted add up to 70 000. If you want to bump it up to that the simplest route seems to be to give Tyrell 40 000 and Renly 30 000. I am unsure about the numbers of the other factions, but Stannis did have about 5000 men at the siege of Storm's End - although with our ridiculous numbers I really can't protest them having 6500. ))
 
((This is troops currently mobilised.

I'm also considering bumping up Tywin's troops with sellswords, so Joffrey has a fighting chance))
