A letter arrives, to the President.
“Monsieur President,
It would be my great honor to serve our nation in foreign policy once again. I do believe we need a strong and measured hand, like my...

The Frenchmen smiles faintly, raising his own glass toward Harrison. He would soon head to speak to the president, but it would be good to chat with another companion from the old days, for a time. ...

”An.. interesting perspective. And one I’m certain many share.” Philippe allows. “I suppose we will see what the future holds for us all, as God’s plan unfurls.”
”I could not agree...

“Your condolences are appreciated, hopefully we can keep that snake from working his way back into importance.” He could never understand why Lionheart nor his own father had sacked the...
“There is the man I knew.” Bellerose says jovially. “Cheers! To good friends, good booze, and to you Mr. President.” Bellerose could deal with politics and plans tomorrow, today was for drink and...
“Yes, more reason to bide our time. Give France time to work out it’s own difficulties, it would not be wise to throw our strength away alone.” Bellerose agreed, finishing his own plate. He had lost...
Bellerose drew closure, speaking softly, with a slight smile. So those around him might think he was sharing a bawdy jape. “I would not listen to the snakes that hiss in your ear, Britain was your...
He laughed. “Yes, yes. Bok is the name. Ah, the gem that is New York was a natural choice, but surly we would be meeting in your Philadelphia if it had not been here. Though I must say I’m grateful I...
”Ah well, I suppose you’ve had more time to grow wistful for the battlefield. I have not enjoyed that luxury in my time.” He smiled blankly, as if in thought. “Though all the same I found myself...

Willem Bok Senior was deep in his cups as the festivities reached a peak. He dapped the sweat from his forehead, his handkerchief now throughly stained. He eyed the crowd, his eyes...
“You’ve no idea the opulence foreign kings can get to, my friend, the court in Paris would make you blush, if half the stories my brother tells are true. But you are President now, be careful you...
Pierre laughed, he was younger than Arthur by nearly a decade, but no spring chicken. “Ah, I see now.” He said, with a facetious look of pondering. “Retired on your plantation, and with food like...

Oh, might as well put me down as interested in the Governorship of Maryland. I have more actual plans for New York, but I’ll want to make sure the catholic state doesn’t fall far behind the other PC...
I’m gonna claim the role of Benjamin Franklin. Atm looking to do Governor in New York, with a Dutch family. And French American congressmen in Maryland.

LAlton has a fitful sleep, periodically awaking to a rustling in the brush or the sounds of rocks sliding down the cliff. He could have sworn he heard the sound of a dragon or two in the night, but...
Manderly summons his banners and the lords of the Broken Branch and the White Knife.
(+3 Charisma if that is still needed)
Alton took out some supplies, tied his beasts to the stone outcrop, and began collecting some wood. Once he’d a usable amount he’d light a fire, both for warmth and to provide a buffer between his...
Manderly nodded, stepping down from the dias in which his throne sat. “You may swear such an oath in the snowy sept, if you desire the gods to witness you. It is not so large as the Starry sept in...
A letter arrives from the south, detailing Manderly’s encounter with the boy Prince Joffrey - including mention of his habit for rather uncouth behavior. Desmond makes mention that the boy is young...

The path leading here had been narrow, nearly uncomfortably so, and the bastard had nearly fallen once. Though Bessy’s footing had remained sure. He approached the opening, dwarfed by it, what kind...
The boys outburst illicited mumurs and chuckles from the merman’s court, even Desmond’s heir seemed to be holding back a chuckle behind a stoic facade. But a single raised hand from Manderly ended...
“My grandfather Theomore was to marry a Targaryen once, Vissera was the girl’s name, but she died drunk having fallen from her horse.” Lord Manderly mused, as his retainer brought the letter to him,...
The Prince is brought into the Merman’s court once prepared, he finds it a cavernous space, large and constructed of expertly crafted wooden panels seamlessly pieced together despite their age. The...
