General Summary
A Day of Sorrow
House Vance | DezzoWord has reached Stone Hedge and even the red keep by now, Lord Alon Vance has passed in his sleep after 6 days without waking. His passing was described as peaceful, but the Maester observed his breathing late into the night slow until it ceased. There was nothing that could have been done, Lord Alon Vance, Watcher of Wayfarer's Rest, Lord of Fairmarket and Justman Tower, has died after 83 long summers in Westeros. A grand funeral is being planned by his eldest son, Ser Brendon Vance, to be held at Wayfarer's Rest. House Oakheart | Jack Handy
I sail for Seaguard at once and will ride to Wayfarer's Rest to pay my respects at the funeral. House Bracken | Jamhalo
I shall ride for Wayfarer's Rest as soon as possible. House Vance in its entirety has my condolences. I also welcome Ser Brendon Vance as the New Lord of House Vance, the Watcher of Wayfarer's Rest, Lord of Fairmarket, and Justman Tower. House Vance | Dezzo
Ravens note Alon Vance's youngest son's peculiar absence at any services involving his father, Vicky Vance instead has ridden to Hornvale, allegedly petitioning the cityguard to rally men for a mysterious cause.
Ser Brendon Vance welcomes Lord Otho Bracken and Lord Jack Oakheart to Wayfarer's Rest. House Swann | PatMagroyn
As the Black Swan is on the Road to Silverhill, he figures it would be interesting enough to attend a Riverlands funeral. He makes a detour headed to Whitewalls. House Oakheart | Jack Handy
Silly, my friend of Stonehelm. Sail with me from Crakehall and we will travel to the Riverlands together, the sea is much quicker. As long as you've got the stomach for it. House Swann | PatMagroyn
As much as I’d love to see Crakehall, alas, I’ll tell you in confidence that open water does not sit well with me. Ironic considering Swann’s house seat and our sigil I know. I will be sure to see you again in Wayfarer's Rest however. Our paths shall surely cross again!
Songs of the Bards, Continued
House Swann | PatMagroynThis is the last song commissioned by the Queen. It is dedicated to the Kingdom’s two youngest princesses. Little Princesses
Little Princess, and Little PrincessHouse Oakheart | Jack Handy
Precious, innocent things
Fierce Jaehaera, Strong Helaena
Ignore all men less they come with a ring Aye, all ye maidens fair
Heed my word for it’s true
Never trust the hearts of men
For they will eagerly cut yours in two Young knights vow to always love you
Swear no favor but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for a tavern wench
And break your little heart in two Little Princess, and Little Princess
The Kingdom very much adores you so
Little Terror, Little Pain
I wish for your hearts not to end up for the crows
Brilliant, as usual my friend. The Black Swann is a master with words. House Swann | PatMagroyn
Not nearly as talented a lyricist as you, Lord Oakheart, a prodigy from the start. It was a pleasure to play with you in our travels.
Northern and Ironborn Dispute, Continued
House Flint | AnatheliusWhile we do question why Pentos is so engrossed in the dealings of the north, sadly the situation is complex. Much of the Iron Isles is occupied and in turn much of the North is too. While House Flint does call their banners, we hope that a peaceful solution can be reached in the North. Free City of Pentos | woolhammer (was and is woolhammer)
Then we wish you well, Lord Flint. House Ryswell | Eddy
It’s all occupation, none of it’s right. But his homeland being occupied doesn’t make it right for him to invade the North.
Race Against Pirates, Continued
Free City of Myr | Shad0lakeIt appears Westeros has decided to step upon the soil of Essos. House Oakheart | Jack Handy
Who do you speak of, Magistrate of Myr? Free City of Myr | Shad0lake
There has been an attack on New Tide. House Oakheart | Jack Handy
Oh yes I see that, the Lemon Prince actually did it… hmm I never thought Prince Jay Dalt House Dalt would actually take parts of the Stepstones... after the service for the late Vance, I will have to sail to Sunspear to see this situation in person. Free City of Myr | Shad0lake
The Three Sisters officially declare war on The Lemon Prince. House Targaryen | Steffi the Redhead
The royal fleet sent out spies towards Essos in the wake of new pirate activities. A great fleet with over 12000 soldiers was spotter in Tyrosh Waters. Another fleet with 10000 troops was spotted in Essosi Narrow Sea. This war declaration is a declaration against the whole realm. This won’t go unpunished! Free City of Myr | Shad0lake
We are not associated with the Essosi Narrow Sea. Completely different country. House Targaryen | Steffi the Redhead
I don’t trust any of your words, Essosi scum. Why else would there be several fleets if not for an invasion of our lands? Free City of Myr | Shad0lake
Dunno. Not my job to know these things. You can ask Pentos in private why they are there. As for Tyrosh Waters, it is their national waters, they may do with it as they please. As a famous Yi Ti philosopher said, never fight a land war in Essos. Free City of Pentos | woolhammer (was and is woolhammer)
…Yi Ti fought countless land wars in Essos. In fact, every land war Yi Ti ever fought was in Essos. Free City of Tyrosh | Verus_Dolar
The Queen must be confused. Moving my fleet to protect the Triarchy’s sphere of influence in the vital point of Tyrosh Waters is not a declaration of war. Besides, lover or not. We were very clear as to what we claimed. And your pet wants to move a sizable fleet to Stepstones Waterways. I have no interest in your primitive lands. This is simply a response in an issue which is of little concern to you. House Vance | Dezzo
Whether or not Lord Dalt is a lover of the queen is not particularly relevant, you've issued an official declaration of war on a vassal of the Iron Throne, this is a declaration of war on the institution of the Seven Kingdoms, irrespective of how much or how little land you seek to gain, and a war against us all. Free City of Tyrosh | Verus_Dolar
I would remind the Lords of who drew first blood and proceeded to celebrate such a victory. House Dalt | Xurrero
My dear friend Oakheart I will happily find you a seat for seeing the naval fleet of Dorne in action. It has been a long time since I had to ask for help from my allies, nevertheless I know they will travel to the end of the world to help a friend. House Oakheart | Jack Handy
Thank you Prince Dalt, I should be there within a fortnight, if the weather allows it. House Dalt | Xurrero
You will have lemon juice from the lemons of Lemonwood and a magnificent show on Dornish lands with wine, men, women and opium. Perfect plan.
Jackson: "It’s funny how Tyrosh wants the Dalts dead,” he says while poisoning a letter that will be send to Tyrosh. Erikson: Laughing he says, "Yes, I hope you will both be alright guys." He continues eating a lemon from Lemonwood. "I will stay on the sand. You know I can't help too much on the sea." Jay, AKA the salty Prince: "Well, I do not want you to fuck up my plan so that would be the best,” he says laughing. “Let me handle this, but I will need help this time. I will call our friends." Jay touches the little bag on his belt, full of salt. “This time I will need more than a Sword and Salt to defeat my enemies.” He takes another little bag and fills it with sand and puts the bag on the belt, one next to the other. “That should be all.”
Great Lord Oakheart, Erikson will attend to you. Enjoy the show. Free City of Tyrosh | Verus_Dolar
The poisoned letter has killed and gravely injured a master of Tyrosh, as well as a slave boy who opened the letter. We send a message back to Lemonwood. A dragon glass chest, inside a crown made of dried cocks from 5 Dornish merchants, laid on a plush velvet pillow. As well as a letter with “For the Lemon Prince” written on the outside. House Swann | PatMagroyn
In other news, the Steward of Stonehelm, Sir Siegholt Swann, sends men at arms to secure Weeping Town on behalf of House Dalt. With their soldiers marching to war, the lands have become rife with banditry. House Dalt | Xurrero
Master of Lemonwood on the Dock: "Prince Dalt!” The man shouts as he runs down the dock. “We have a Dragonglass Chess from Tyrosh!” Jackson Dalt: With a tone of surprise, “They received my letter? I thought the raven would die on the way.” Jay Dalt: “Did you open it?” Master: “Oh no, after what we sent I refuse to touch it.” Jackson: “Fair enough.” The Prince shouts to some orphans loitering on the docks. “Do you want some Opium?” The orphans get up and quickly begin running away from the Dalts. A bald man with crossed eyes and 3 teeth left: “I want some Opium. What do I have to do?” He says with despair clearly written on his face. Jay: “Oh... nothing, just open a chest and say what is inside... like a magic trick.” The bald man: “All right, seems easy.” They all follow the Master to where the chest is being held. Master: “That's the chest.” The bald man leans down and lifts the lid open. “What the fuck is this?!” Standing up, he looks at the men around him. “What the hell is going on? Are you crazy or what?” Jay: “What is inside it?” The bald man: “Are you mad? You tell me right now! Surely you already know!” Jay & Jackson: “WHAT IS INSIDE THE CHEST?!” Both men take out their swords, placing the tips on the neck of the man. The bald man: Tears begin streaming down his face. “It’s…” he sniffs “a crown of dicks and a letter for the Lemon Prince.” Jackson: The man begins laughing at his brother, turning his head to face him. “You are the biggest dick in the world! You are the King's Cock… The prince of the Cocks!” Jay: With a straight face, he says to no one in particular, “Those Tyroshy bastards are crazy. Those poor men…” The bald man: “Can I get my opium?” Jay: “Stay here, read the letter,” he says, the tip of his sword still pressing into the man’s neck. The bald man: He looks away, eyes cast down. “I can’t read.” Jay: “All right, just open it and put it on the table.” The bald man did as requested, but nothing happened. Jackson: “All right. That's all.” He reached into another pouch for the requested opium, handing a vial to the bald man. The bald man immediately begins drinking it down, but has consumed too much. Before long, he begins to overdose and die before them. Jay: “Well I didn’t expect that,” he laughs. Jackson: “Me neither. I thought you’d kill him.” Jay: “I’m not so bad, I am a man of my word.” Jackson: “Whatever.”
