Meanwhile have Tyrell attack Storms End I wonder why Hoster decided to negotiate with the Rebels in the first place and have both his daughters marry two of their leaders. Since the Mad King has not personally wronged him, why not just cut his losses when the Mad King had Rickard and Brandon Stark and disavow them?

Lord Vance II Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Assuming I'm a Hand who A) doesn't want a war to happen and b) knew Aerys had gone mad, I'd put every resource possible into finding Rhaegar and Lyanna. Finding them is the only way to avoid a war. Convince Rhaegar to depose Aerys, give back Lyanna and profusely apologise for the good of the realm. Given his whole prophecy bend, I doubt Rhaegar would listen, but unless I'm spoiling for a massive war I'd go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was making was by explicitly acknowledging the Tully's innocence, Hoster would not feel the need to align himself with the rebels to save his house.

Perhaps Hoster was part of the original plan to remove Aerys and he felt this was the time to see it through or he was afraid that because Cat was betrothed to Brandon that Aerys may either consider the Tully's guilty by association or that the Tully's would feel honor bound to avenge Brandon's death.

Bowen Marsh Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Find Lyanna and cut off her little finger. Burn it. Send it to Winterfell. No words need be written. Eddard will know what it means. Order Eddard to stand down and ride his ass to King's Landing so he can kneel in front of Aerys and swear fealty. Robert will have to die but it doesn't have to happen right away. Set up a hunting accident. Send him a prostitute with syphillis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Alhazred Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Depose Aerys. Crown Rhaegar king.Exile Lyana on pain of death (After aborting Jon.) And tell The Starks her return is dependent on their behavior and call a great council and invite the rebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
