Matter-of-fact Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Your mission should you decide to accept it, is to create a secret department/agency that will monitor the various noble houses of Westeros independently from the master of whispers As always, should you or any of your Force be caught or killed, the crown will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This paper will self-destruct in five/ten seconds. Good luck, how would you complete this mission if you accepted if you start at the beginning of Robert reign?

James Steller Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 If I'm really going to form a secret service which people don't notice, I have to basically kill half the Small Council first. So assuming that I have the King's permission, we find a way to kill off Pycelle, Varys, and Littlefinger that absolves the king. I'd do it myself, even, and when I'm sent to the Black Cells, I'm smuggled back out again after a prisoner who looks like me is tortured and killed in my stead. With a new secret life, I hire a network of spies and keep tabs on the Lords Paramount, and their most prominent bannermen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, any kind of intelligence operation would be best funneled through the maesters and septons. Just piggyback on what they already have, then partner with one or two Northern/Iron Island houses who want to advance their positions for serving as extra eyes/ears in the more remote regions.

I would start by putting this in the forum games section where it can flourish, then hire the faceless men to kill everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seams Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Septas, Silent Sisters, maids. No one in Westeros would suspect the women. (Which might be why Mance used washerwomen at Winterfell.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindsayLohan Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Two such networks already exist. 1. Oldtown and the maesters 2. Littlefinger and his brothels/tax assessors. Everyone appointed by the crown in every kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvo the Crow Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'll set up shops in tailor shops throughout the 7K cause lord and commoner alike need a stylish suit... I mean tunic. I'll also set up shop in breweries and the like in Essos for foreign espionage and as a contingency plan if the branch in Westeros is compromised. I plan on naming the agencies Crownsman and Citiesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Hold Em Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 There are too many noble houses to keep an eye on. Concentrate on the likely troublemakers, the Great Houses. Plant a spy in each of the households. That's the only way because their technology is backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light a wight tonight Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Varys has this in place, pretty much. If only he was actually working for the king instead of for his own purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
