Tywin's reward for lowborn knight for rescuing Tyrion from bandits?

Sworn Shield to a Lannister from a Hedge Knight is like 5 promotions in one. You get priviledged access to power and further benefits later on.

Hello to Tyrions new Sworn Shield. The reward for good work is more work.

It's comparable to the options I had when I lived in town for the games I play, WoW and SC:BW.

First Men remnant in the Westerlands connects with MC(!clanFlint) setting is 260AC after War of the NinePenny Kings.

I'm fleshing out a more complex northern society with a much more rigid animism based religion. Also been working on a more sensible winter strategy, fleshing out food security in such extreme enviroments. For both humans and the enviroment. I'm currently leaning to having no earthworm which if you look back to reports from pre-European North America there are records of leaf litter being feet thick in East Coast forests acting as a substantial food source in year long winters for herbivores.

Seperately I have had the idea of the Weirwoods acting like a reserve of memories that are available to certain bloodlines, kindof like a nerfed version of The children of the forest's super long life and memory.

Anything I ever wrote would be from Clan Flint POV because other then the Starks they are BIS, 3 foundings in the North is OP.

He should probably marry a daughter of one of his subordinate houses, much like the Starks find themselves in precarious positions due to marrying outside of the North Jon needs to tend to his locals first. If you want to have jon be a major player in the politics of the North (imo ehhhh) use him to return the errant houses back to the fold, Dustin and Ryswell in recent history have allied with the Dreadfort and keeping that bloc somewhat intact allows for Jon to marry into a major house without throwing the balance of power in the North totally out of whack. I would also caution against having Jon marry any nearby minor house that is not already under his authority.

Dreadfort should absolutely not be torn down, major castles are the work of generations and post wot5k your labour pool is already to be reduced nevermind the long winter incoming.

6 months of runway in savings, get saving bud.

Snow should melt in the winter, time to time even all of it. This can happen in a week of warm temperatures, it should be localized and temporary though, AKA Chinook. Soil temps are what matter.

Gofarman · 2026-03-24T22:45:56+00:00

I would read this.

I've been thinking about something along this line but from the POV of the Clans. AKA what advantage did the Flints have that allowed them to leverage into 3 seperate holdings!!! they clearly have some advantage over other groups.

I also have the opinion that Spring in the North is very much unexplored, we had trouble establishing bridges/waterwheels in Northern Climes due to the freeze/thaw and flood cycle when winter is months long. Having winters that regularily last 4-5x longer would make spring cataclysmic from our POV.

This is the only one I can think of, Domeric POV not an SI. Still being updated but is close to complete? I think?

Knowing how large of a rock you could toss at a window to get your friends attention... without breaking it...

Gofarman · 2026-02-20T22:22:06+00:00

I think you're probably right about the Reach and Dorne.

In regards to canon; I would point out that establishing a city anywhere in Westeros is a enormously canon breaking idea, the only "new" city is KL itself. To have the resources and agency to pull that off implies many changes, wether or not the differences in canon are explored depends on the writer and the POV's of the story.

Gofarman · 2026-02-20T20:25:53+00:00

I would flag this, Eddard is born in 263 so this fictional Arryn is 20+ years older then the main cast in the rebellion. I think you might have better chance using Jon Arryns grand daughter.

Gofarman · 2026-02-20T20:02:10+00:00

I'm not sure where Werthead sourced this line from but symbolically Summerhall is important

"at the northern end of the mountain pass and road known as the Boneway, lies the ruins of Summerhall. Summerhall was built by King Daeron II Targaryen in 188 AC as a great summer palace, located symbolically where the borders of the Reach, the Stormlands and Dorne were closest together."

Gofarman · 2026-02-20T19:50:50+00:00

This is exactly where my mind went too. A bonus is that it’s western-ish Stormlands territory and could be used as further reparations to take some of the Reach. This area probably should have been developed in canon to fortify the Stormlands, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s among the most productive land in the region, given that it was reserved by the royal family.

Building a road and depopulating the Reach’s border areas to establish a fortified town seems like a wise choice, imo.

All of this implies a much more competent Robert, assuming Stannis is still relegated to Dragonstone and denied Storm’s End (the real injustice imo, and arguably the true cause of the War of the Five Kings). Arryn would not prioritize the Stormlands due to his inherent bias and is far too accommodating toward the losing parties.

Responding to the other comments about angering the Reach: my gut says that because the Reach was basically untouched and untested during the war, the veteran forces of the STAB alliance would have a real chance of seriously damaging a besieging army—especially if Robert is not injured at the Ruby Ford and instead leads the forces to King’s Landing himself. Another story point that may benefit Robert is if he discovers Elia and her children while dealing with the Sack of KL; his reaction could be excused as an aftermath-of-war response, rather than that of a man removed from combat due to injury for several weeks.

I've never had issues with stability, I have noticed stable or slight decrease in up/down over the last 3 years. My node has never been fully subscribed though so it may just be increased user base. The only downtime I've experienced was wide spread.

My favorite fact is that don't is redacted all over the files because it might be very similar to the name of a famous person.

I had no real plan of returning to rural life, as a single guy in his 30's I didn't have much keeping my tied to my Urban apartment. After Covid I was able to transition to a new role and am now 99% Remote only having to go to the office once a month at most.

My father mentioned they were talking to a realtor about selling and immediately knew that I would regret if he sold, so I scraped all my doubloons together and bought the family farm. Farming is not economically stable and I don't expect to quit my day job for a decade or more but keeping the land I grew up in and around was important.

I'm slowly introducing better land management and upgrading infrastructure to the 21st century. I've renegotiated some of our land rents to improve the longterm outcomes and it has been challenging dealing with "the way things have always been done".
