HelmHammerhand Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would let the Iron Islands go - and then send Stannis back to finish the job he started during the Greyjoy Rebellion. Let whatever is left behind to be ruled by a house from the Riverlands (like the Mallisters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sentiment exactly In order of preference: - North - Dorne - Iron Islands, after not leaving a stone standing and hauling off the whole population. But the North is prime candidate. Already explained by others - these three realms are outliers of the Westerosi core. The core being the Crownlands, Riverlands and the Reach. Even the core's peripherals could be let go - Vale, Westerlands and Stormlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorne or the II I'd say-they're the poorest and their cultural mores aren't really similar to that of the rest of the kingdoms. Trick question. A true king will never let a part of the kingdom leave unless they are feeble minded or weak or both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingLordPresidentMaster Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I would let the North secede because they are kind of doing their own thing anyways and dont threaten anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rebelled twice in the last seventeen years. Best to rid myself of that troubled region. Honesty, it's not a good idea to let one secede. You set a dangerous example that others will exploit. 10 hours ago, goldenmaps said: But if i have to pick, I would pick Dorne. They have been the most contentious of the kingdoms. The problem is that the more contentious they are, the least you want to let them go. Dorne joining the kingdoms stopped (or at least greatly alleviated) centuries of border raids and wars. Similarly, while the Iron Islands occasionally rebelled post-conquest, they were much less a threat than if you allowed them to return to the Old Way. You'd be invading them every generation or two. The North aren't really the same, in that regard, but if the reward for rebellion and contentiousness is independence, then expect every region to become contentious and rebellious. One of the reasons empires and countries will often expend huge resources to keep difficult and unprofitable regions is exactly because they don't want everyone else to see that it works.

The reason to keep the North is the same reason all the 7K would need to be kept - it will pay taxes, and an independent kingdom on your borders increases the chances of war.

Apoplexy Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 The iron islands. They would probably be the easiest to quash in case of a rebellion and they do not have any indispensable resources that the rest of the kingdoms will miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaedys Targaryen Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 The Westerlands, Riverlands, Crownlands and Stormlands seemingly don't even have real names for themselves, not like the Reach, Vale and Dorne, but they can all be one kingdom under one king. The trouble is Dorne and the Iron Islands; they are culturally different and they both have a history of being a pain for others (Dorne to the Reach and Stormlands, and everyone dislikes the Iron Islands). I personally wouldn't really like to have them in my kingdom, but their bad habits would make me feel forced to have them just so I could have a little bit of control over them and maybe change them a little bit. I think I'd let the North go; the North is huge and you can fit all the southern kingdoms in it and they're historically known to just do their thing with relatively little trouble. Compared to the other kingdoms, the North has seemingly never attacked any of the southern kingdoms unprovoked. The only recorded time they've ever attacked any one of the southern kingdoms were the Three Sisters but their motivation for doing so was because they were tired of the Sistermen pirating and pillaging their shores, so you can argue that they were provoked and thusly kind of justified.

Frey Kings Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Instead I'd rather have the Yronwoods rule Dorne, maybe the Freys in the North and somebody with sanity in the Iron Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yronwoods or Daynes in Dorne, the Harlaws or Blacktydes on the Iron Islands and the Starks continue to be in the North. Must ask what possesed you to think they Freys should bein the North? They hate each other, especially after the Red Wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
