Background: At the end of the Blackfyre Rebellion, the Great Northern Host including Prince Aerys Targaryen set up camp at Riverrun in order to help secure the Riverlands as the Westerlander forces retreated and the war was soon declared at end. When the levies were sent home, Lord Artos Stark maintained his own vanguard outside Riverrun whilst developing a potential married alliance with House Tully.

Lord Artos' daughter Lady Sirsha, Knight of the Bloody Gate was given royal license to hunt the enigmatic raiders 'the ghosts' that were pillaging the Reach. Cooperating with the Tyrells, she chased the raiders into the Westerlanders but was intercepted as a trespasser by the sovereign claims of the Lannisters. Lady Sirsha sent word to her allies, including her father to ready forces for a stand-off in the event that the Lannisters continued to defy the king. Lord Artos is not only concerned for the safety of his daughter, but suspects the Westerlanders of harbouring the ghosts.

Furthermore, Beron; Lord Artos' brother who was the keeper of the body of the last king was last seen at Harrenhal, over two years ago. Lord Artos calls for inquests, even pleading with the king, in regard to the whereabouts of his brother Beron have been frustrated and fallen on deaf ears. Since the alliance with House Tully was never confirmed by marriage and since House Tully has married with the Lothstons who are stonewalling Lord Artos, the presence of Northern forces in the Riverlands is strained on both fronts and their position is far from secure. Lord Stark grows ever more suspicious of his allies and his enemies, looking to his vassals as his only strength.

OOC: Wow... so you're really going on metagaming as I have mentioned it in OOC.

That's just very low - declare war upon me due to one comment I made in the Saloon.
Sorry, but you really disappointed me.

edit: Also, since when do you controll Aerys Targaryen's forces? Better you ask Wheatley first before you fell decisions upon his character.
