A visit at Brightwater Keep

**Lord Dread** · June 07, 2016, 11:36 AM

With the feast at Oldtown having ended, Lord Hightower rode along with a small party and his brother Edmund towards the proud keep of House Florent, those whom the King had named direct vassals of House Hightower for the future.
Whether this agreement of the King would hold for eternity, didn't convince Lord Rolland too much though, as he had granted Florent during his time at the feast a seat among his table volunteerly and gave the Highlord no reason to feel different than it was under Lord Tyrell's rule. Nothing on what he could count on, if it would come to any acts against his town with the Reach currently being unstable, as both the King and the Tyrells had to leave it in a dysfunctional state.

Thus it was only fitting to visit Lord Florent to strengthen the bonds between both Houses, regardless of what would happen in the future. Edmund needed a wife anyways and marrying into a neighboured High Lord was always the best prospect, which was best to offer for a secondborn.

OOC:
Lord Rolland has in total + 3 Charisma +2 additional due to the feast.
As well, Lord Florent came during the Oldtown feast for a visit, while they were dining among the rows of Hightower, the Tullys, the Redwynes and potentially the Targaryen (if they would have appeared).
So, should be considered as well into the marriage proposal, as I RPed the Hightowers on purpose treating Florent like an equal lord rather than an overlord, as Rolland is a rational ruler, who's more focused on gouverning his city.
