[HS] The Pretender War

[Pinkerton]

Fine all Lords who wish will come and see the proof but how do you propose to get Joffery to this meeting

If he is reasonable as you, he will go,
If not, that is a proof against him

Lord Renly, I advise you join the loyalist cause. Surely, your older brother will reward you well and cast aside all grudges for his blood brothers support.

I'll not take side in this madness,

[Trot]

Of course he will retain the Stormlands and all of it's incomes and be given position master of law on my small council only if he joins the cause

[Lord AcidRocker]

King Stannis offers you a great deal for your support. He is your brother, after all. You do know that if you choose no side, the winning force will oust you and likely hang you for automatic treason. Your blood may go easier on you, send you to the wall perhaps. If it was up to me, I'd make you FLYY!!!!!

[Mithridate]

This is why its unwise to have a child as hand.

A king does not command who is not within his hold or reach, it makes him look weak unless he can carry swift action to prove the countrary. Better to coerce loyalty unless you actually want to fight the entirety of the stormlands, but perhaps this is desired...

Stannis is the true king of the iron throne, before even sitting it however...
Half of westeros is already at arms, a third against so we advise caution.

Robb Stark, lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North

[Trot]

Yes so it has been changed

[Trot]

Lord Renly since you are my kin I will accept your neutrality but let it be known the late lord Renly may not work in this war

OOC: Late means dead

[The Forgotten]

I hearby proclaim as Hand of the King that the Iron Throne has prepared a treaty with Renly agreeing to a ceasefire. As many once loyal members have rebelled and been expelled there are several open spots on the Small Council. Including Master of Coin, Law, and Ships. As reward for their loyal service Mace Tyrell has been made Master of Coin and his son Loras allowed to join the Kingsguard. Loyalty is rewarded and 2 more positions are open to those loyal to the King.

Tywin Lannister, Hand of the King

[Trot]

Renly would not go against his own brothers claim

[Dux]

It seems he will not fight for it either.
Which reminds me, Arryn forces are expected to come to the aid of the Riverland armies and to aid of Stannis' own forces as soon as possible.

Anyway, my uncle wishes to say something.

Brynden Tully:
I will reluctantly accept the generous offer of King Stannis. I did not ask for this position, but will do my duty to the true king.
I'll publicly examine the truth myself once Kingslanding has fallen and Joffrey has been captured, I will not doubt that it will prove Stannis his claim.

However for now we must take notion of Robb Stark's words, for they are wise.

Caution is advised, Stannis becomes King once he takes Kingslanding. Before that it is not sensible to hand out titles and the like.

Brynden Tully the Blackfish, Hand of the King.

[Lord Valerius]

Indeed, foolish is he who distributes lands and goods he does not own. And foolish are those who are bought by mere promises as well!


And why should I, Balon Greyjoy, be suddenly stripped of Pyke? So far as I remember, I have not proclaimed myself King like so many Lords from the mainland, nor have I taken action against you, King Stannis.

[Pinkie Pie]

I think in this case you are either with him or against him.

[Dux]

That is not true. You can't really be with him or against him until he is truly king and sits on the iron throne. Now it is just all talking.

Less words and more deeds is my advise.

[Lord Valerius]

Can I now? Well maybe I'll just sit tight behind my walls like the Lords of the Vale have done so far and wait it out. But it is true, this is just talk. You can take many pledges of fealty King Stannis, test them on the fields of battle to find out whether they are true or not.

[Peteriscoolz]

I shall not allow the usurper to capture King's Landing. Let Stannis be king over cooked meat and charred bones.

[Trot]

Look Joffery is no better then the mad King he will kill his own people why would we follow him.

[Mithridate]

I shall not allow the usurper to capture King's Landing. Let Stannis be king over cooked meat and charred bones.

This makes it clear that the Lannisters and Tyrells are either fools or serving their own purposes as opposed to those of the people.

The North is on the march

Cheers!

[The Forgotten]

To all neutral lords who do not declare kingship and do not attack the lands of the Iron Throne they will not suffer loss of lands or title. Friends of the Iron Throne will be graciously rewarded like the Tyrells.
