You are transported to Westeros and left there for good. Nobody knows you. Your skills are those you have learned in this life.

How would you make a living? Would you survive at all?




*The clever answer here can be using information you have. Say, selling Sansa to Cersei. Could you? Would you really have no other usable skills?


I have my answer, but will hold it for some time. Guests have the right to talk first.

On how to make it happen or just on how not to screw it up?

If you could in fact make all what is needed out of what you would be able to get, I think we have a man richer than Lannisters in the making. That is the spirit I am looking for*.

*Almost feel like a recruiter.

I'd go find some well-heeled lord to marry. That's pretty much the extent of where my ambition can get me in this society.

Become an understudy to Anguy then after I become the perfect archer I will try to become a squire for the Hound. I will be knighted by the Hound. Then I will become a hedge knight and start my own Sellsword company. I start trying to get powerful knights to join my company 'Outer Haven'. People like Darkstar, Ser Drinkwater etc. Then I will systematically take over the Reach and Force the Hightowers to bend the knee.  I will allow the Ironborn to reave if they join my cause. Then after conquering Dorne we will unite our forces north while simutaneously rounding up all wargs and greenseers. The purpose of that is to try and warg the white walkers and use them to destroy the other 5 kingdoms. The white walkers and haven troopers will be my army. I will be King of the 8 kingdoms (Will also rule Braavos)

[The King in the South]

I'd win the heart of the daughter of the Queen with my charming looks and mouth dropping wit





Or I'd pretend to be a fortune teller and tell Waymar Royce joining the night's watch is the worst idea ever

I would go to a smith and have them make me a chastity belt, that is the first thing i would do, totally helps with the rape problem.
give the key to Jon or some rich lord who would treat me right Then i'll go find my own Syrio and learn the art of ass kicking.

[Revan Baratheon]

Will get together with the maesters,make a nuke and launch it into the Others homeland,will probably end up destroying the wall but collateral damage eh?

Realistically:invent gunpowder make a fortune selling muskets and cannon,nukes can wait ;$$$

[Quint]

I would just help out all the characters I like and keep them alive.

[Sound_of_winter]

I would give book 3 to Robb, and force him to read it.

How would you make any lord even talk to a stranger?

As was its point.

In any case, in a thread that presumes that we're dropped in the middle of Westeros with only our wits and devastating good looks, I think it's a bit petty to question my ability to become Mrs. Rich-Ass Lord. As if that is what makes this whole exercise unbelievable.

To believe in magic and to regard your fellow  GOTs reallistically are two very wise things   The first choice gives you lots of new worlds, the second still keeps you grounded in this one.

It is perfectly fine to plan to catch a lord. But when this falls through, what then?

Microbiologist here, I could teach them quite a few things. Biological warfare, Penicillin, a ton of new sterilization techniques, hell even microscopes if they dont have those yet and a bunch of basic scientific processes. I understand how engines, guns, electricity, and airplanes work, but I could probably never construct any of it ever. I would make my way directly to Oldtown and the citadel to become a superstar.
