Part Four - Storm Lands and Dorne
First of I forgot about the Three dogs in the last update.
The Clegane brothers! Well the Mountain died due injuries....from a duel! Fate strikes again! Gregor...or in his own words...GREGOR, did marry! His wife, an Oakheart died a frail thing. I'll let you think in this one. Their first son became a Black brother. His heirs still own land in Westeros.
Sandor married a blind girl so that she couldn't see his injuries. They had two daughters. And now a fun fact I just saw. Gregor Vyrwel isn't named Gregor for nothing! He was named after his great great-uncle!
Alesander Vyrwel, son of Donnel married Quenya Redfort the granddaughter of Sandor. And they had a son called Gregor. Gregor Vyrwel is the Castellan of Rhaegar Vyrwel. Awesome!
The Baratheon's have been doing ok for them-selfs. Robert got himself crowed and even conquered King's Landing. But they didn't manage to get the Iron Throne. The new King, Gordyn even married a granddaughter of Eddison I the Usurper and thus it's unlikely that they will wage war anytime soon. Just like the Rock, the Storm Kingship is Elective! Gordyn doesn't have any sons, but his cousin Damon isthe heir so there is a big chance the crown will stay with Baratheon's.
Stannis died without sons, but Renly made alot of them, one of his grandsons is a Lord.
The most dull Kingdom is Dorne. They just sit there on their asses in the sand. Waiting. Looking when to strike. Tobias I is well to put it lightly a dumbass. He has no skills. But his Kingdom is stable and waiting for a great King to bring greatness to the Martells.
In the Last Update the Reach and the King's Guard!

Part Five - The Reach and Other Fun Stuff
As you can see the Reach is divided between the Overlords of the South, the Tyrell's and the upstarts the Vyrwel's. Loras married a gal and had four sons, 2 of them became great knights but without children of their own. Margaery is still alive at 71! She married a small Ruler. One of her daughters married the son of Edmure Tully. The heirs of Willas are teh sworn enemy of my House.
You already know the story of House Vyrwel so'll just post the Family Tree.
Who is Calon and Dondinel and why are they in the Tree? Well Dondinel is the Heir to Rhaegar, who still doesn't have any sons.
The King's Guard and other Knights
The King's Guard has some great Knights. The Commander is Ser Hendry Melcolm. Now 38 years old. In his prime he was a level 15 Knight. His cruel 10 years younger brother Ser Rhodrey is also in the King's Guard. But only level 11.
But the best Knight, (Jamie was also level 15, just like the Mountain)
is this guy....Ser Rolph Rogers. His name is even awesome.
The other super Knight is the Brother of the Lord of the Dragonstone, Ser Feanor Couzner.
Those are the most bad-ass knights of the Realm. Now I'll go back to playing again

For one reason or another I always rout for House Baratheon no matter the stupidities they do... But they seem to be doing reasonably fine...
i like this so far but it sucks that you posted some spoilers in here ( i am only on the third book) Still though.. good work!
i just found this aar, and have to say it is quite cool. i now have to go back and read the books again.
and i might have to give this mod a go
keep up the story
and i might have to give this mod a go
keep up the story
They do indeed.
Kings and a few Lords. Prety stable too. I hope nothing major
I should have stated it was full of spoilers. sorry. tnx btw
I recommend it, it really is good and fun to play
too bad there are alot of limitations to teh engine. Hopefully CK2 will be even better tnx everyone
I just finished a few (very important) years....and 2 updates should be coming in teh next few days
One interesting note....
There are two new King Houses! One replaced an already existing one and one proclaimed himself King. So who can guess them right?
edit: YEY I just saw this thread had more than 1,000 views
nice!
Judging from the maps, the North and Dorne are too stable, so I'd go with the Vyrwels took the Reach from the Tyrells, while the Baratheons recreated the Iron Throne title, which the Arryns didn't get because they didn't have a claim when they booted out Aegon.
I think the game design just makes a region as packed as the Iron Isles inherently unstable. Granted, this could just be what the Ironborn are always like
No real comment, since the Lannisters are going through the same thing in my game (save that whole elective thing).The Lannisters on the other hand started really bad but their current ruler just crowned himself King! "Bonifer I". He managed to conquer back the vassals lost under Tywin. Less good for the Lannisters is the fact that Bonifer was forced to sign a new law. Elective law. And the current heir is....a Frey! More ironic by the fact that he is a grandson of Aemon Frey, the lackwit Frey.
Jamie died as a King's Guard. Cercei married Amory Lorch, but she died in childbirth, like her mother. Tyrion never accomplished anything and died both wife- and childless. At least he had his whores.
Wow, Gregor had only one wife in this universe, rather than the two he killed.
Doing better than in my game, where I crushed the Usurper's forces and stripped the family of their lands... Bwahahaha... and then Stannis somehow became a member of my Kingsgaurd along with his son :wacko: ... anyway it just goes to show how the same scenario can turn out completely different.
What is it with the Tyrell women and really long lives
It seems like the Kingsguard hasn't suffered from Robert staffing it with nonentities.
hehe
dont know about North, they do have wars now and than but Dorne is indeed too stable, the Martells have been replacing all teh Lord titles with their own House. It's one big family, I hope it will go down the Turkish way
Playing as Targaryens?
they are virtually dead in my game now, only one seat all other scattered around. It is indeed fun and makes each game unique, in my 1st go I was a Lord in the north and tried to became the King-Behind-the-Wall but got defeated by their hordes
in that game Tyrion lost his bastard trait and inherited the west the elective thing is probbably due to strong Lords and Feudal contract event.
update up soon
Chapter Twelve
War is Coming
War is Coming
Years 1170-1178
At the start of 1170 Harwood Hightower gained independence from Tyrells. But it was pretty short lived. Rhaegar claimed his titles and at the end of June Oldtown was full of Vyrwel soldiers. The great city was added to Rhaegar's personal demesne.
In the following years House Vyrwel gained two new Bannerman, Westbrook and Bandallon. The most distressing news was when Rhaegar at a feast, proclaimed his eternal friendship with House Arryn. This way he lost his, and his family's claim on the Iron Throne. On the same feast Rhaegar found another new lover, Fruella Osgrey.
In 1173 Rhaegar had a new heir, his half-brother Ronald proclaimed he's no longer a bastard. Ronald, a capable man managed to convince his older half-wit brother Rhaegar to sign the forms. This way the faction of Dondinel lost the battle.
The 16-year old Pia Tarly was the next mistress of the lustful Rhaegar. Altough he didn't have any bastards with her, they did spend a whole summer together.
They separated after Rhaeys, Rhaegar's wife died in child labor. This came as a bit of a surprise and sadness yet with relief to House Vyrwel. They lost the link to teh great House Targaryen, but Rhaeys and Rhaegar didn't have any male heirs so a new wife could provide that.
In 1176 Rhaegar married second time. He married Elaena Dayne.
Within nine months she gave birth to the new Heir Vyrwel, Daeron.
The celebrations went on for months as in June, Rhaegar's oldest daughter married Lymond Baratheon, firstborn son of Lord Damon heir to the Stormlands Kingdom.
The Baratheon money really got the budget fixed for the plans of 1178.
Bonifer I Lannister, the ally of Martell's died. He was succeeded by Renly I Frey.
The Frey's became a new King House. The Lannisters are now Lords again.
But this loss of a big ally of Martells brings possibilities.
In 1178 War is Coming!
Good!
May I mention I hate the Freys wholeheartely?
who doesn't?
fixed that fist part
but seriously, what happened?
we will see in a few mins.
Sorry guys the brake took it's toll. I didn't have much time (too many parties
) and before you know it my ADD kicks in and I forgot about this aar but don't worry the next update is coming right up.
Chapter Thirteen
The end of Tyrell Overlordship
The end of Tyrell Overlordship
The year 1178
Yes a whole chapter just about one year. Year 1178, year of the War.
Named by later generations 'The War ending the Tyrell Overlordship in South'.
It kinda spoils the end but doesn't make it less fun.
House Vyrwel was planning this war for years. And in the spring of our epic year they managed to get an army together of 72,000 men. Split in seven different armies they ware ready to struck. But before I tell you of the events of the war I shall present you the army.
In the South
Army of Oldtown (7k) led by Ser Bennis Redwyne
Army of the Marches (10k) led by Ser Amelryc Willum
In Darkdell the Vyrwel army led by Ser Gregor Vyrwel (8k)
In the Northwest
Army of the Red Lake (10k) led by Ser Arnoud Crane
Army of the Goldengrove (10k) led by Ser Cador Flowers
In the Northeast
Army of Ashfort (11k) led by Ser Henrey Sloane
Army of the Ring (13k) led by our own Lord Rhaegar Vyrwel
In April the war is declared and Vyrwel armies move into Tyrell's territory. Ser Redwynes is first to capture a castle, in June he conquers Norcross in the South.
Shortly later Greasy Vale falls to Ser Sloane. In that week Rhaegar gets a message from the King on the Iron Throne, Runcel I joins us in our war!
In June anther castle falls to us, Horn Hill is conquered by Ser Willum. But not all goes well, in the assault on Smallwood Ser Arnoud Crane dies. His son Steffon took over and conquered it eventually.
(For the record we didn't accept this peace offer but we asked just for Highgarden)
On September the 2nd Cleyton Tyrell wants peace, he gives up Highgarden!
A day later Rhaegar travels to his new capital where he is crowned King of the Reach........
Rhaegar I Vyrwel, King of the Reach
Notice something strange about our CoA?
Anyway after the War, Rhaegar I promoted 10 of his Bannerman up to Lord status.
I present you 10 Lords under the Vyrwel King:
For their involvement in the War:
Lord Bennis Redwyne of Oldtown
Lord Steffon Crane of Red Lake
Lord Henrey Sloane of Greenvale
Family:
Lord Dondinel Vyrwel of Goldengrove
Lord Waldon Vyrwel of Horn Hill
Lord Gregor Vyrwel of Greasy Vale
Others:
Lord Rhodrey Rambton of The Shield Isles
Lord Erec Vance of Brightwater
Lord Denys Westbrook of The Ring
Lord Vaeron Dayne of Smallwood

Great update, but I have some questions. So now there is a overlordship (kingdom) of The South and a overlordship (kingdom) of The Reach? Or was the overlordship of the South reduced to a one lordship title? Furthermore isn't the house of Martell ruling Dorne?
OMG what a mistake :$
you ware totally right I corrected it, I copy pasted it without rereading
about your first question yes they are still there as an (King) title Overlord of the South. but they have nearly no vassals anymore. and they lost Highgarden
when an Overlordship gains a King title I switched their main titels
there is no 4th tier so it's hard to add King of whole Westeros so he's now at the same level as Overlords/ Other Kings.
I wouldn't say he has posted any significant spoilers. If you referred to the comment about Rhaegar having a mistress named Lyanna not stark and having a bastard whose name is not Jon, don't worry. Jon's true parentage hasn't been established in any of the four already released books. Rhaegar & Lyanna is just a very popular theory among fans, and one that has sparked many intense forum discussions (and flame-wars
).
And to the AARmaestro himself,
How did you get the regnal numbers? Do you have some other mod installed other than Westeros? I didn't see anything like that when I recently gave the Westeros mod a try.
Also, is it a bug that allowed you to get the Vyrvel coat of arms upgraded to a "king" coat (rather than taking over the Tyrell flower), or is it also some deliberate feature?
I started as Rhaegar of Dragonstone, on a quest to survive daddy's insanities and keep the realm together, and re-establish Targaryen rule afterwards. It's a tale that should be told, with quite some funny stuff happening along the way for those who know the characters from the books. But alas, I didn't take any screenshots, and I'm already committed to another CK AAR on the Scandinavian forum. Would you object if I made a one-post synopsis of what happened? Not trying to steal your glory, just thought this would be a good place for it since it's the only Westeros AAR here, and being just a synopsis it wouldn't be worth a thread of its own.
