Lord of Oldstones Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 So, you are Lord Tully and Aegon elevates you to the status of ruler of the Riverlands. You are behind House Blackwood,Bracken,Vance, Mallister,Mooton and even upstart Freys in strength and wealth. Harrenhall is gifted to Valyrian House Qoherys and they hold much much grander castle with large fertile land and potential to summon more men. So what would you and your subsequent generation do to elevate your holdings and status, to keep famously quarrelsome Riverlords in line and in the same time be certain to protect Riverlands from neighbouring Kingdoms.

Floki of the Ironborn Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 For one thing, foster the noble houses’ kids at Riverrun so they have a bond to their overlord. Have several kids for marriage bonds. Enforce justice in my name to endear the smallfolk to me as their lord paramount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alester Florent Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Try to wangle my way into squiring alongside Aenys (or Maegor if nexessary). Afterwards, pick a fight with a house I reckon I can beat. Murderise them in an excessive way. Commission a song about it and get it put into the general rotation of travelling players. Get appointed Hand of the King. Fall out with the king. Piggyback someone else's rebellion and kill the King's family. Marry my daughter to the King and lend him enough money to put him in my pocket. Enjoy my position as the most powerful man in Westeros until my least favourite child shoots me on the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craving Peaches Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Slowly but surely try and centralise the Riverlands. They have great potential if they are more united. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craving Peaches Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I'd also change my sigil to something more inspiring than a trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvo the Crow Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Try to breed some more so I can have an extra child that I can marry to a weasal looking Frey so they’ll shut up about it instead of yapping for decades on hand. Long term health benefits are quite obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sword Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The main goal for me is to concentrate power for the Tully's. The Tully's, by not being the strongest house in the region puts them in a precarious position. Look to the lords adjacent to Riverrun. When the opportunity presents itself marry a daughter of a house with no son. Amalgamate the holdings of both houses under the Tully banner. Increased holdings, castles and lands will allow for more wealth and power to be concentrated. Rinse and repeat until Tully power is dominants within the region. If required use lesser tracts of land to pacify the branches of the old families that were incorporated into Tully lands. Also, arrange a marriage to the house holding Harrenhal. Try and obtain the castle and lands, and make it the Dragon stone of the Riverlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astarkchoice Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Marry a frey Increase tithes temporarily and put the cash into increasing seaguards navy to help protect vs reavers/ironborn. Arrange a few frey-went marriages , the freys are packed into twins thus send them to the biggest castle in westeros. The extra cash and manpower there will help restore it.

Getting a targling princess to marry into my house would be our sole priority until we could make it happen. I'd have angled to make a marriage a condition of the pact.

GZ Bloodraven Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Edmyn had three daughters: one of them was the second wife of Quenton Qoherys, who ruled Harrenhal, but they didn't have kids. So remarry her to Jon Mooton, marry the other one to a Blackwood, and marry the other one to a Westerling, a Reyne, or, if the Westerlands aren't playing with you, a Bulwer or Dickon Flower's dad, a Beesbury. Obviously you need to have a son and have him marry a Frey. Put yourself in position to set up a minor Tully house at Harrenhal after the weird thing between Gargon and your daughter (unless you're already dead). Also, don't resign as hand wtf, I understand your kids mom died and they're sad and you have a newborn, but you gotta keep your head in the game and remarry, maybe a Celtigar or a Vance.
