[Pontifex Maximus]

Ravens arrive from House Bolton and Swyft requesting trade

[Oznerol]

The answer arrives:

My Lord Reyne:

We eagerly acept the trade with your lordly house, of such reknown in the West. Such we send our magnificent wheat and grain, to fed your hungry peasantry, and avoid famine. We sent word to your vassal, Lord Brax, asking for trade, but as we have signed such an agreement with your house, it is not needed anymore.

In the Light of the Seven.

Lord Edmund Tully, Lord Paramount of the Riverlands

[Jokern]

A raven arrives at Castamere.

House Harlaw accepts your trade offer, Lord Reyne. Hopefully our houses will both benefit from this agreement.

What is dead may never die,
Lord Harlaw

[Oznerol]

My Lord Reyne:

I'm afraid my beloved sister is a most pious and religious lady, who even wanted to become a septa, something my father forbid her. But she may marry if he finds a proper match. However, I cannot marry her against her will, and if your lordship desires to court her we would be deligthed, but you shall win his heart and show her you are worthy (something we don't doubt). She would only acept a righteous, chivalric and dutifully religious man.

Thanks for your kind offer and we indeed allow your lordship to meet and court her, shall Gods bless you and grant success where others have failed.

In the Light of the Seven.

Lord Edmund Tully of Riverrun, Lord Paramount of the Riverlands

[Oznerol]

Lord Westerling, ten knights, few retainers, his son and wife appear at the gates of Castamere.

[Victorius]

Lord Reyne gets the information that Lord Westerling and his family arrived at his court, he sends a servant to welcome him.
the servants brings Lord Westerling and his fellows to the Great hall of Castamere

"Lord Westerling! Regards, what brings you to my admirable Castle?" says Lucyus

"Lord Westerling! Regards, what brings you to my admirable Castle?" says Lucyus

Lord Westerling speaks

"My most gracious Lord of Castamere! You surely know we both belong to the most ancient and wealthy families of the West. Westerlings were very well alive under Casterly. However it's a long time since we had married into eachother's House. As my son, Ser Kevan is still unmarried we would desire to ask in marriage the hand of your elder sister. We thought it was most fitting than the Crag and Castamere were again joined in friendship"

Kevan just hopes the chosen Lady is fair enough

[Victorius]

"My Lord i am esteemed by your request, unfortunately Lady Myra is already promised to another Lord... and there were many inquirys for Lady Lyra, but i will take some time for my decision and your house is truely an ancient and wealthy match." Lucyus says

Lord Reyne tries to divert the embarrassing situation

"By the way did you lost some weight? you look great my Lord" he says

[Oznerol]

"By the way did you lost some weight? you look great my Lord" he says

"Betrothed? And how is we haven't heard a word about such an event?! With who?"

"I hope your Lordship will appreciate the offer, the heir of the Crag, a Westerlander to the bone"

He hits the floor with his cane

"And thanks my Lord I think I've lost most of my fat lately"

His wife sighs, and he holds his great sized belly with both hands, proud.

"Donnel Lefford, son of Raymar Lefford my Lord. i have met him and his Family at the Coronation of King Aegon and we have got a agreement about Myra. but just like is said Lyra is still availible i will inform you about my decision as soon as it made. Thanks for your visit Lord Westerling feel free to eat and drink as long as you are at Castamere." he says and mumbles that quietly nobody can hear "but not to much otherwise you will look like a whale again"

[Oznerol]

Leffords! Those upstarts! Little more than peasants they are. How low has fallen the blood of Castamere, even if they are a young House, compared with us, of course

"Lyra will be a good match for my son. We will think about it, if we reach an agreement we will also tell your Lordship, now we are afraid we have to left, I long for home, the Crag. But remember that we offer you to marry in one of the msot ancient and noble Houses in the Realm"

He bows slightly. His son nods. The Lady bows fancily.

The second sister he says! Bah! Maybe I will find a more suitable match... There are Hightowers avalaible? They are like rabits, always manage to get ten new children each generation. Perhaps living in a tower in Oldtow...a lot of free time...

[Axis Sunsoar]

A Company bearing the stag of Baratheon on their banners arrives at the gates of Castamere. The guards can see no one who appears to be the lord, but a young man clad in fine armor with a a large warhammer slung over his back rides at the front of the party. A helm crowned with stag's antlers hangs off of his saddle.

[Victorius]

a guard informs Lord Reyne about the arrival of a Lord Paramounts party, he is woundering why the house of Baratheon wants to see him
he send one of his servants immediately to bring the party to his great hall.
he turnes to Ser Ryan Reyne, his Uncle and Commander of his Personal Guard "Ryan, go with him and welcome them dignified"

he turnes to Ser Ryan Reyne, his Uncle and Commander of his Personal Guard "Ryan, go with him and welcome them dignified"

The young man at the head of the party strode into the hall confidently, followed by two of his men. He slung the hammer off of his back casually and handed it to one of his retainers, who appeared to have a hard time holding it. His cloak is woven of Golden fibers, with fur trim around the neck and a great Black Stack picked out on the back. He gives a rather mocking half-bow. "My lord Reyne, it is my pleasure to appear before you on behalf of my father, I am Durran Baratheon, and my father gave me instruction to come and make friends here in the Westerlands. He mentioned the illustrious House Reyne in particular, giving me strict instruction that I was to speak with your house first. An odd choice if you ask me, but who am I to disobey my father?"

He looks around the hall disdainfully, seemingly oblivious to the riches displayed. When he speaks again, there are still traces of mockery in his voice. "And now, I am here, inquiring what could possibly entice your great house to ally with the meek Lords Paramount of the Stormlands."



OOC: I chose Durran because, like Lucyus, he is arrogant, so I thought it could be some interesting RP

[Victorius]

"I welcome you to the famous Castamere my Lord, Well it was the right decision of you father to send you here first. Me, Lord Lucyus I Reyne, The Red Lion got much to offer...Maybe you are Interessted in some Dornish first? not even the Princess of Dorn got this good vintage" he says and sends his kept woman to bring some of it

after she came back lucyus takes a sip of it
"What kind of arrangement are we talking about?" he says guardedly

[Axis Sunsoar]

Durran looks around the room again, and takes a sip of his wine, "The wine certainly is good, perhaps when I think of famous and grand castles I am simply to used to Storm's End..."

I wonder where he has more of this vintage hiding...

"I believe the thought was of a marriage between our houses, my father has a 27 year old sister who would be a fitting match for you yourself, no doubt."

[Victorius]

Lucyus starts smiling
"This is a exquisite Idea. Castamere still needs a hire and there wasnt a suitable woman so far. but a Baratheons sibling is definitely a valuable choice" he says toady
his is imagine how she looks like, hopefully she isnt hideous

Lucyus stands up from his decadent decorated throne and walks slowly towards the barrel of whine, he is thinking about why Lord Baratheon wants him to marry his sister
there can only one possibility, "He knows that i am the greatest Lord in the Westerlands..yes thats it! me The Red Lion, owner of the greatest Castle in westeros. a alliance with the Baratheons could be a great opportunity to strength my family more and he will provite from this aswell cause he will ally with me Lord Lucyus the first of his name Reyne"

"My Lord we have got an agreement! I will marry your gentle aunt, Lord Baratheons sister. tell your father the admirable Lord Reyne is willing to ally with him" he says confident

[Oznerol]

A raven arrives:

To Lord Lucyus Reyne:

I have not answered before because my beloved wife, Lady Alice Tarbeck, has died from a fever in that last day of the previous month. Mourning has clouded our senses and we did not notice your message, that brings joy to our desolated hearts. Ser Kevan is eager to marry your beautiful and noble sister, Lady Lyra. We will visit Castamere if you desire so, if not, the Crag gates are open to welcome your Lordship, most gracious Lord of Castamere.

Shall the West rejoice with the union of the most ancient Houses of it's land.

In the Light of the Seven,

Lord Ormond Westerling, Master of Coin. Ser Kevan Westerling, heir to the Crag.

[Oznerol]

We thank you for your kind words, my Lord Reyne. I have to depart to the capital soon, and my son will let be in charge of the Crag. I'm afraid I will not able to visit your Lordship to reach an agreement over the marriage, and such we request kindly to you, my most gracious Lord Reyne to visit my son and heir, Ser Kevan at our lordly home and seat, while I'm absent in King's Landing.

In the Light of the Seven,

Lord Ormond Westerling, Master of Coin, High Lord of the Crag
