    Default The Red Keep, the Iron Throne room

    The Red Keep and the Iron Throne



    The Red Keep sits upon Aegon's Hill. According to history, Aegon came to the third highest hill upon his arrival to the King's Landing, three hundred years ago. There, Aegon I built a fort of earth and wood and then commissioned the creation of a permanent royal palace which was completed by Maeglor I Targaryen. The beautiful pale red stone, complete with seven massive towers is the symbol of power and authority for the King's of Westeros and their royal family.



    The Iron Throne, the greatest symbol of every King that has ever ruled Westeros. The throne was made of the swords that were given to Aegon I the Conqueror by those who submitted his will by choice or by force. Within this hall, the King sits and goes over the daily courtly matters with the Lords and his close advisers.

    Harald Lannister arrives at the red keep. He is clearly bored with his current duties, and wishes to see what the king could have wanted with him.

    Harald is checked for any weapons then allowed into the throne room. Maeglor sits there with Godwen Thorne, his trusted bodyguard nearby. Maeglor stands up and smiles.

    Ah! The man I was hoping to see soon. Glad you could make it Harald Lannister.

    The Arbor Queen the largest ship in the seven Kingdoms docks in Kings landing only a week after the King had send his summon, because of the urgency in the letter and the strict tone he had send no reply as to spend the time better in getting here faster. At his side was Glade Goldwyne his most trusted Bannerman and ten Knights of the Golden Harbour. They left ship almost before it finished docking and walked with fast steps to the Red Keep.

    Ser Godwen Thorne welcomes Lord Logan as the guards inspect him and Glade Goldwyne. Godwen gestures to the Knights who escorted Logan.

    Please, we ask that only two knights accompany you until we get the throne room, Lord Logan. Other than that, welcome to the King's Landing and the Red Keep, Lord Logan Redwyne.

    Once all weapons were removed, the guards let Logan and Glade in. Ser Godwen motions for them to follow his lead.

    "Thank you, I will of-course abide your customs."
    He spoke with what courtesy he could muster. Glade was most reluctant to leave his weapons and it took a strict look from Logan to make him comply. Logan nodded to two of the knights the rest stayed behind.
    "
    My guess is it was you who signed the letter send to me. I hope it en't as urgent as it sounded. Though such hope rarely come true."

    Godwen glances back to speak to Lord Logan.

    It was I who signed the letter. Though it is not too urgent, the King sounded like it was an important issue. He only spoke briefly about it.

    Ser Thorne arrives at the main door to the throne room and speaks with the guards. They walk in first and then return moments later, saying the King was ready to see them. Godwen motions to Glade and Logan.

    If you two will please follow me. King Maeglor I is expecting you.

    Logan simply nodded though he relaxed more now, he scratched a old scar as he looked at the throne room thinking his own thoughts. Maybe he hadn't needed hurry as much as he did. Irritating, His sister and sons was enjoying themselves on Mermaid's Palace right now. Glade Goldwynes hand was restless his hand usually rested upon his sword pommel. they both did as they had been asked and followed.

    At the far end of the hall, where the ancient Iron Throne rested, sat King Maeglor I the Storm Caller. Maeglor remembered Logan well...and his involvement in Robert's Rebellion. Starving out Storm's End and making his people suffer for it. Thankfully the occupation did not last long. The King stood up and walked down the steps to welcome his guests.

    Lord Logan Redwyne, welcome. It is a pleasure to finally meet you. I have never had the honor, like my brother Robert, in meeting such a legendary figure in recent naval history. How fairs Arbor these days?

    Unlike his brother Robert, who would have most likely appeared ignorant and hostile towards Logan for his actions against the Storm's End, Maeglor appeared calm and relaxing. Though the successor shared some traits with Robert such as his stubbornness, Maeglor was much more smarter and calm even among former enemies.

    Logan kneels he had defeated the Iron Fleet, besieged and helped taking Pyke for King Robert And defeated Lord Stannis Fleet, besieged and helped taking Storms End for The King before him. He was not ashamed of his part in any of the wars. He held a courteous attitude as he replied.
    "Thank you, and Likewise, Your grace. I and my family was here at the tourney and the feast, supplying food and wine to the feast and fought in the tourney in honour of the big day. As to the Arbor, it Is busy and bountiful as ever, your grace."
    Glade had kneeld as-well though his face was much more stern.

    Rise, Lord Logan. I am glad to hear that Arbor is bountiful and well.

    Maeglor smiles lightly and has a couple servants bring in two comfortable chairs for his guests and another for the King. Maeglor takes his seat and gestures Logan and Glade to join him. Maeglor's eyes gazed upon Logan.

    As you know...my brother was not very fond of your actions, especially those against the Baratheons at Storm's End. However, I am not my brother. Though I do harbor hard feelings, I made a promise...and that promise I shall keep. My hard feelings may be there, but I shall let them intrude upon my judgement as King of Westeros. And hopefully, those feelings shall vanish and thus be free of such burdening emotions.

    Maeglor raises his hand and gestures to a window that looked upon the King's Landing.

    I promised to heal the scars and abate the hatred that still linger in the earth of Westeros. Feelings that will keep this realm divided and weak. That...is something I do not wish to see. Westeros will be restored...but not by my hand alone, but by all of the land. Both ally and foe of the War. United, we shall stand and rebuild Westeros. Divided...and nothing will have changed. It will be a great task, but one I am willing to begin and see continue till the last breath of my mortal journey here.

    Both men take seat as they were asked to. Glade and Logan both sit rather still though Logan is the only of the two that seem relaxed.
    "
    My King, you seem fit for the position you are in, a man of sound principles. The relationship I had with your brother was one of mutual respect. He never forgave me for sinking his fleet or taking his home but once he understood that I'd do the same to his enemies now he was King things loosened up in the end. I hold no hatred towards The Iron Throne nor your family, not even The Greyjoy family. I will always fight to keep the peace and against those who seek to disturb it. That is my principle, that is how I work. I stay true to that and you can put trust in that."
    He paused and looked at his Bannerman and then at His King once more.
    "You sound to be of the right mettle. A Man of principle. And after hearing your goal I am all the more glad that you are on the throne. You sound like a man who will bring forth a time of great peace to our realms. It warms to see such devotion in a man. And even more so because you have the power to use it for the good of all."
    Logan wondered if this was the reason he had been called. If it was to take a measure of him, it was understandable but unnecessary.

    Maeglor smiles and nods in thanks to Logan's comment. He then rests his arms upon the arm rests of the chair before speaking.

    The reason why I called you here...was to cement that forgiveness. The Baratheon and Redwyne reunion of brotherly ties will be the first step to healing the ruined relations between the Tyrells and the Baratheons. You are a legendary figure in the Highgardens...and this will be the first major step rebuilding friendly relations in the Reach. One of the many steps I am taking to rebuilding Westeros mentally and physically. Uniting the realm and the houses towards a more friendly attitude to ensure order and peace.

    Logan scratched his chin..
    "Well for me there is nothing to heal. I think it was officially good between The Baratheons and the Redwynes when we made a joint attack on The Iron Islands. Though even before that we held no grudge."
    Glade grunted.. And Logan corrected himself.
    "
    Most of us didn't... The Reach is another matter though. You'd have to speak with the Tyrells. I can send a letter to my Aunt the So called Queen of Thorns. Maybe to ease it up a little beforehand?"

    A very wise idea, Lord Logan. I thank you for the suggestion.

    Maeglor smiles lightly and stands up now, gesturing for the two to rise as well.

    Thank you for the fruitful conversation, Lord Logan as well as you...uhh...I never asked your name. I am terribly sorry for not properly asking.

    He looks at Glade.

    Logan smiled courteously and nodded agreeing.
    "Yes indeed, most fruitful, your grace. I will send it as soon as I return to The Arbor."

    Logan allowed Glade to answer for himself. The old Commander answered with a deep voice.

    "I am Glade Goldwyne, your Grace, Bannerman to Lord Logan Redwyne."

    He was not a man used to be at court so he kept it short.

    Maeglor nods his head as a greeting. Then his eyes look at Logan

    A safe journey to you, Lord Logan and Glade. The seas can be very nasty at times. Thank you again for coming to King's Landing on such short notice.

    The King escorts his guests to the large doors and they are escorted out of the Red Keep.

    "Ofcourse, your grace, any time you require my council I'll be here."
    Logan was slightly annoyed by the way this had been voiced as extremely urgent, so that he had to leave The Marmaid's Palace to come here a half hour with a weeks journey each way. But that was not details for a King.

    They both bowed and turned to return to the Ship.

    Lord Raymun Reyne and his son & heir, Lord Robb Reyne of Tarbeck Hall, arrive in King's Landing with all due haste, garbed in the argent and crimson of their house and bringing with them only a small retinue of men-at-arms. Their horses, and half of their company, remained behind, exhausted by the hasty trek to King's Landing.

    The two and their entourage are greeted by the guards of the Red Keep. Ser Godwen Thorne stands there as the guards check Robb and Raymun for any weapons and take them off their person. Godwen bows to Lord Raymun.

    Welcome Lord Raymun and Robb Reyne. His Grace, King Maeglor I, is expecting your arrival. Please, take one two of your entourage and follow me to the Iron Throne room.

    He motions for them to follow now as Godwen enters the Red Keep.
