Westeros Mod AAR

House Frey Banner


Welcome. This will be my second Westeros Mod AAR. It's a brilliant mod for CK: DV made by Grell. It has a unique new map. And a whole new world full of new events, traits etc. I could go on for hours :p Check it out here.

My aim for this AAR is to write a short story of one character I have in my current game. Around 50 years after the scenario start. More about him in the following chapters.

My goal for this AAR is to have fun with it and to eventually try and re-conquer what the ancestors of my characters lost: The Iron Throne of Westeros.

I'm playing on CK: DV Westeros Mod 2.05.
no cheats. I do modify the files doh. (like for instance I changed the CoA's if there is a new House ruling an Overlordship or an Kingdom) Or if an OverLord conquered something I would give one of the Overlordships to an relative.

If you have any questions or comments PLEASE post. as much as you can. comments motivate me to write more. and last but not least, sorry for my bad English :p
 
The house of Frey? Are you kidding me, they're among my least favorite houses in G.R.R.Martin's books ;).

Nonetheless I'll be following the developments of this AAR :).

Yes they are among my least favorite aswell. :p But they are quite interesting. They are seen as upstarts by other Noble houses despite the fact that they are quite rich and powerful.
But history went a bit different way in my save. (I was surprised by it :p) ;)

Sounds like fun, I will read this. I did follow your Vyrwel AAR as well and I liked that one.
Say what you want about the Freys but they have a pretty awesome castle :)

thank you and welcome here :D

and indeed their castle is awesome. hehe
 
Chapter One:
Heirs to the Throne



Year 350 after Aegon's Landing
*****
Castle of Seagard
-----


A servant entered the main hall inside the newly finished Castle of Seagard.
On the small throne to the right of the fire is sitting Lord Lancel Frey.
Lord Lancel is an 57-years old man of average posture. He's been the Lord of the Crossing since year 329 AL.
His hair have been gray since the year 330. Next to him sits his wife Daella.
Fifteen years younger than her husband and nephew. She's dressed simple for her stature.

After a few seconds Lord Lancel recognizes his servant. 'Yes Lyonel?'
'Milord, the last round shall begin soon.'
'Ahh yes that. We probably should be there to see who wins this damned tournament. Who shall we see fight?'
'Milord...., your own son made it into the the last round he will..'
'My son? Alesander? Really... My Dear do you hear that. Alesander actually is good for something more than whoring around'
'Milord...'
'How did he manage to do it? Did he pay everyone off that small weasel? Yes probably.'
'Milord...'
'Yes Lionel?'
'It's not Alesander Milord, but Aegon that made it into the last round'
'Aegon? He entered a tournament? He actually woke up before the sun? Did he hit his head on his last raid?
Ohh well let's get on with it. Who is the opponent of my son?'
'Ser Gilbert Frey, milord'
'Ohh this will be fun'

'Aegon....Aegon wake up. You have to get up.'
'Ten more minutes Daeny.'
'No now, everyone is already waiting. You should have been getting ready hours ago.'
'Ahh yes. The tournament. I shall show that little bastard of Gil that he's too old for this.'
Aegon finally stood up. Although of average height like his father, he's very muscular. He has long dark brown hair that he wears just like his grandfather Lord Ryman Frey did. Or atleast how they are pictured on the big painting of the old Lord of the Crossing in the Main-hall of the Twins Castle. His face is clean-shaven. They say he has a Lannister jaw he inherited through his great-grandmother Genna. Only one thing sells him as having Valyrian blood. His big purple eyes.
'My Dear tonight you shall sit next to a Tournament Winner! Tonight we shall dine in glory!'

Ser Aegon Frey

'What is it, my brother? Don't look so grim. You actually resemble our father right now. Come on.'
Aegon looks at his grinning brother. 'You don't get it. I am better than him. I should have won.'
'Cheer up! Look around you. Look at all those girls dancing around. Look at what Mother gave them. mmm.'
'Bah Alesander. You only think about ass in that little head of yours.'
'Now you sound like our mother.'
'Come on Alesander. Your wife and kids sit not ten meters from us.'
'To hell with Cymella. Look there to your left. Yes there. Just turned sixteen. The daughter of Ser Glavias.
I think her name is...Alesander takes a bite in his apple and mutters with a big grin 'Gunhild. Ahh what a picture.'
Astonished Aegon looks at his older brother. Just about as he was to say something he noticed his father was standing behind them.
'Ahh there you are. How's your shoulder?'
'Just fine father'.
'Good, Good.' Lord Lancel follows with his eyes where Alysander is staring. The little blond girl of Erenford.
He puts his hand on Alesander's shoulder and shakes him a bit.
'Pay attention. Duty first. Do, what you do not do to your wife later. Your mother is waiting for you in the South Tower.
It's important so go there now.'

Ser Alesander Frey

'Ahh my sons. I just received a letter from the Free Cities. My uncle and your great-unlce Aegon died.'
Alesander looks not amused. 'Is that why we had to come here in this hurry? So what of him. He was exiled long ago.' Daella looks at their sons with a grim look on her face. 'You don't understand he was the last in line. Well not the last. But the last of the name. Your uncle Aegon Targaryen was the son of the last Dragon King
Rhaegar I. My mother Daena was Aegon's sister. I'm the last of the Dragon blood my sons. And you with me. You are the last heirs to the Dragon Throne.'

Alesander just stares in front of him. Unbelieving in what he just heard. Aegon on the other hand starts laughing.
Both his mother and brother look at him with disbelief. 'Why are you laughing Aegon? Do you know what this means? Do you know what will happen when King Lucas I hears about this? What's so funny about that?'

Aegon stops laughing and has the all knowing look on his face. 'My dear brother. Have fun tonight with your girls. Tomorrow starts the real fun. The fun of war.'
 
This question might sound silly but does this AAR contain even slight spoilers from the G.R.R Martin's books? I'm about to read them so I don't like to see any information about it.

The Westeros mod starts in the books' backstory, so while there might be some spoilers about Robert's Rebellion, things ought to have diverged enough by this point that the events of the books and this AAR will be totally different.

On that note: Rhaegar became king but lost the throne anyway, huh? Interesting.
 
Nice mod and a beautiful beginning. Go on, please.

Good Question. No I will try to keep it spoiler free from the books. Just see it as alternate history :)

Yeah within a year. I actually hoped he could keep it up but he got gangbanged by 3 OverLords :p

I am also using this mod, though before Robert's rebellion. I am also using the house of Frey, even though they seem to be a bad bunch(I haven't read the books). I will follow.

hehe yes Frey's have a very good start between 5 OverLordships's with plenty of land to grab :D

Guh ... why did you have to make it dialog? That makes it almost impossible to read. Will be following this regardless.

I'm sorry to hear that :( But if I would do it with my regular style I would only need 3 updates for the whole AAR :p don't worry this will have alot of Maps and Family Tree's :p

Nice mod and a beautiful beginning. Go on, please.

thank you :)

Thanks everyone for comments :) and welcome. I'll write an update tomorrow as now im mourning the defeat of the Special One :p
 
Looking forward to it. Poor Targaryens. Haha.
 
Should be very awesome ;) Will it include some "History" of House Frey since the Rebellion? (like in some comments or such) would be cool to see what Walder and his sons did to change the fortunes of the Frey.
I dislike Freys too, but they are interesting for a powerful, and ammoral family to play :p Also I am already liking Aegon Frey
 
Freys! FREYS!
WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE FREYS!?
