Your Kingsguard, Hand of the King, and Small Council

[PrinceHenryris]

Yeah I kind of figured. I

PrinceHenryris: Why do you have a bunch of people in the Kingsguard who arn't knights? I know alot of other people also have it but I don't understand the point. And do you really expect the Greatjon to leave his position as head of House Umber to be a bodyguard down in King's Landing? I know I'm a bit picky but several times that I've seen it its annoyed me.

I made my choices based on who I'd want protecting me.

I don't care if every member of MY KG had oil spilled on them or not.

I'd bet the Greatjon would take the job if the gold/other compensation were right.

Remember, we're fantasizing about a fantasy.

And do you really expect the Greatjon to leave his position as head of House Umber to be a bodyguard down in King's Landing? I know I'm a bit picky but several times that I've seen it its annoyed me.

I know PrinceHenryris already answered this question, but I'll offer an answer for my lists as well. I'm not as interested in the influence of the Faith of the Seven and its inherent link to knighthood as I would be in who could do the job. I did attempt to stick to people who would be likely to consider joining the Kingsguard (i.e., not heirs to Houses, and so on), hence starting with several individuals who have already been members. I added Areo Hotah because he's an excellent bodyguard for House Martell (and since my Queen Consort would be Arianne Martell, I think I'd stand a chance of convincing him to leave Dorne); I added Brienne of Tarth since being Kingsguard is essentially her greatest ambition in life (ignoring the fact that she is heir to House Tarth); and I added Syrio Forell because I couldn't resist having one admittedly "wishful thinking" person on my list. I put Thoros of Myr in my second take on a Kingsguard because I like the idea of having a "wizard" around to support the others, though I admit this is likely a "wishful thinking" addition as well since there would probably be some blowback from knighting a priest of R'hllor.

I quite like Gurkhal's idea of expanding the Kingsguard to nine members and having each position be representative of a region of the realm, rather than maintaining the Faith's religious numerology of seven. Such a move would fit nicely with my own desire to move the High Septon out of King's Landing and back to Oldtown.

I'd bet the Greatjon would take the job if the gold/other compensation were right.

That doesn't really make any sense. Why would anyone forsake a lordship they already hold for a life on the Kingsguard?

[The Last Direwolf]

King and Queen - Daenerys and Robb

Hand: Lord Tywin Lannister - heartless bastard, maybe, but he knows his stuff.

Small Council:

Master of Coin - Littlefinger

Master of Ships - Davos Seaworthy

Master of Laws - Ned Stark

Master of Whisperers - Varys

Master of Arms - Brynden Tully

Grand Maester - Aemon

Kingsguard:

Lord Commander - Barristan

Loras

Jon

Brienne

Adam Marbrand

Balon Swann

Jorah Mormont

[Rhaegar The Chef]

Hand -- Tywin Lannister

I'd suck as a King and it appears to me that everyone in Westeros sucks at being King too so I'd kick back and let Tywin do his thing.

Master of Coin -- Littlefinger

Has a gift for conjuring dragons out of thin air. Pair him with Tywin, the richest man in the 7 Kingdoms and I think we can reduce or even eliminate that huge debt.

Master of Ships -- Paxter Redwyne

Who better than the commander of the largest fleet in Westeros for this position?

Grand Maester -- Maester Luwin

I like this guy alot, and I think he's the only Maester in the series that actually has a pair. Would be able to give objective and helpful advice.

Master of Laws -- Oberyn Martell

This seems kind of like a no show position, so I'd just give it to this guy to represent Dorne and to get his opinion. Oberyn actually seems highly intelligent if not a little rash but I'd want his thoughts anyways.

Master of Whisperers -- ELIMINATED

Show me one instance in the entire history of Westeros where the man in this position actually helps the King? To replace this position I'd create a new seat, MASTER OF STATE

Master of State -- Renly Baratheon

His job would be to represent the King, and establish good foreign relations with the Free Cities and the rest of the world. Would also act as an internal ambassador, treating with lords across Westeros to help strengthen relations. Everyone loves Renly (save Stannis) so he gets the job.

Lord Commander of the Kingsguard -- Barristan Selmy

He's fucking awesome

Rest of the Kingsguard --

Jamie Lannister

Aero Hotah

Balon Swann

Syrio Forel

Strong Belwas

The Hound

I wanted to represent the North in this list but as I thought about it I think it's best to let the North remain in the North... Completely different culture up there, don't have politicians.

[PrinceHenryris]

Master of Ships -- Paxter Redwyne

Who better than the commander of the largest fleet in Westeros for this position?

Not necessarily the best choice IM(n)HO. I recently re-read Roger Crowley's excellent "Empires of the Sea". For those not familiar with the book, it chronicles the Turkish/Islami vs. Spanish/Christiain battles in the Meditaranean in the 1500s.

Who owned the Galleys apparently made a huge impact on how things went down. Andrea Doria, widely considered one of the most skilled naval commanders, was notoriously cautious because he owned most of the Galleys in his fleet.

Fast forward to WWI, after the Battle of Jelicho, the German battlewagons rarely, if ever left port. The cost of the losses would have been too high.

So I don't think a Redwyne would be the best choice.

If I were building a defensive fleet with offensive capabilities, I'd go with Davos.

If I needed a commander to meet an invading fleet at sea, I'd go with Victarion or Asha. Euron would probably be good too, but I don't trust him.

[PrinceHenryris]

@gobstopper

I never said The GreatJon would have to give up his lands and title to join my KG. I'm the King.

If the GreatJon wants to keep his titles and land, and try to have more kids than Walder Frey, I don't care. I just want to have one of the most certified BAMFS in the series watching my back.

[str8 outta Old Town]

Hand: The only choice is Davos, singlehandedly keeps Stannis in the game.

Master of coin: Dolorous Ed- I reckon he'll be good at it, lots of accounting in a kitchen.

Master of Whispers: Tyrion Lannister

Grand Maester: Samwell Tarly

Master of Ships: Asha Greyjoy

Master of Law: Ned Stark - The OLD laws

Kingsguard:

Brienne of Tarth

Greatjon Umber

Arya Stark - Sneak attack is the best form of defence

The Hound

Mag the Mighty

Bronn

Duncan The Tall

[Gurkhal]

I made my choices based on who I'd want protecting me.

I don't care if every member of MY KG had oil spilled on them or not.

I'd bet the Greatjon would take the job if the gold/other compensation were right.

I think that you would be doing yourself a disservice by dragging the Kingsguard's reputation and image in the mud. They are linked to the king and by making them a band of toughmen bodyguards rather than something more in the minds of the people, I think that you would be hurting your own image and potentially cause friction with the nobility.

I know PrinceHenryris already answered this question, but I'll offer an answer for my lists as well. I'm not as interested in the influence of the Faith of the Seven and its inherent link to knighthood as I would be in who could do the job.

Alright that's you choice but I think that the same thing I wrote above would apply to you as well.

I did attempt to stick to people who would be likely to consider joining the Kingsguard (i.e., not heirs to Houses, and so on), hence starting with several individuals who have already been members.

Yeah that seems reasonable. I mean we know how Tywin liked having Jaime join the Kingsguard so it would probably be best to go for second or third sons.

I added Areo Hotah because he's an excellent bodyguard for House Martell (and since my Queen Consort would be Arianne Martell, I think I'd stand a chance of convincing him to leave Dorne);

I added Brienne of Tarth since being Kingsguard is essentially her greatest ambition in life (ignoring the fact that she is heir to House Tarth); and

I added Syrio Forell because I couldn't resist having one admittedly "wishful thinking" person on my list.

I think that Brienne Tarth could work as she's already got the knightly stuff going and thus she would probably just need a vigil and she'd be ready to go. In regards to the others they would certainly make fine fighters but I wouldn't put any non-knights in my Kingsguard for reasons I think that I've mentioned.

I put Thoros of Myr in my second take on a Kingsguard because I like the idea of having a "wizard" around to support the others, though I admit this is likely a "wishful thinking" addition as well since there would probably be some blowback from knighting a priest of R'hllor.

In regards to the others they would certainly make fine fighters but I wouldn't put any non-knights in my Kingsguard for reasons I think that I've mentioned. In regards to Thoros it might be a bit hard to get him knighted by the Faith but you don't know unless you've tried. :P

I quite like Gurkhal's idea of expanding the Kingsguard to nine members and having each position be representative of a region of the realm, rather than maintaining the Faith's religious numerology of seven. Such a move would fit nicely with my own desire to move the High Septon out of King's Landing and back to Oldtown.

Its nice to see some support for my idea to expand the Kingsguard even if I wasn't thinking about the number's connection with the Faith. Why you would want to move the High Septon away from King's Landing where he can be more easily monitored and summoned to provide ideological support for you is something that I don't really understand. I'd be more interested in getting the Citadell moved to the capital so that I can start to work on making the maesters more directly tied to the Iron Throne.

That doesn't really make any sense. Why would anyone forsake a lordship they already hold for a life on the Kingsguard?

I really would like to know this as well. And if the Greatjon is the lord of Last Heart, how is he going to manage his duties as a lord in the North and a bannerman to Winterfell while he spends all his days in the capital watching over the king?

In regards to Thoros it might be a bit hard to get him knighted by the Faith but you don't know unless you've tried. :P

I imagine if Forell and Hotah would actually agree to joining the Kingsguard that it would be fairly easy to get them knighted. You're certainly right that Thoros would be difficult, but, hey, having a "wizard" in the Kingsguard might be worth a bit of a struggle! If I felt the fight was going to be too difficult to not be ultimately worth it, I'd just have to find someone else (perhaps adopt the "hold a tourney" idea that a few other posters have suggested).

On the possibility of unintentionally tarnishing the image of the Kingsguard in the eyes of the people: even with my "outside" choices, I attempted to name people who could easily and rightly be seen as honorable people. Thoros as a priest of R'hllor might be an exception in the eyes of many, since that religion seems to be mostly looked down upon in Westeros, but he would also come with his own heroic tale of "fighting for the peasants" in the midst of the chaos that had engulfed the realm.

Why you would want to move the High Septon away from King's Landing where he can be more easily monitored and summoned to provide ideological support for you is something that I don't really understand.

That's a fair point. I was approaching it more from a perspective of attempting to decrease any influence the High Septon may have on the king's court. Now that I think a bit more about it, perhaps such a move would backfire on me, though, since it could allow the Faith of the Seven's leadership to exist more as a separate power in the eyes of the realm.

I really would like to know this as well. And if the Greatjon is the lord of Last Heart, how is he going to manage his duties as a lord in the North and a bannerman to Winterfell while he spends all his days in the capital watching over the king?

I assume PrinceHenryris's answer would be that it could be handled in a similar manner as to any lord who sits on the small council (having a castellan or heir rule in one's place), but those people at least could occasionally travel home or even resign their positions if circumstances back home changed dramatically. A Kingsguard wouldn't have the same luxury by the very nature of their job.

[Lord Rickard]

So assuming we are following the original rules and the timeline is at the very beginning of GoT meaning that Jon Arryn is dead and Robert is king. One of the major concerns is making sure there is a high level of geographic representation. Also given that it is Robert as king there needs to be extra sops to Dorne.

Hand Of The King: Stannis Baratheon Actually the perfect complement to his older brother. Stern, obedient, loyal. He is very attentive to detail. Additionally an excellent sop to Stannis given that he holds Dragonstone and not Storm's End. Like Ned Stark, Stannis is the right stern balance to Robert's joviality. (I understand the argument for Ned Stark, but truthfully he isn't politically astute enough and he simply doesn't want to be in the South; his loyalty is not a question.)

Kingsguard:

Lord Commander: Brynden Tully (Riverlands) A better leader than Barristan. A terrific knight and a lifestyle fit for the Kingsguard.

---Barristan Selmy (Stormlands and Legacy) A no brainer for the Kingsguard, but should not be LC. Is a great member of the Kingsguard but not a great Lord Commander. First of all no political skills, but more importantly not a great leader. True he was given an atrocious Kingsguard to work with but he still led them quite poorly

---Benjen Stark (The North) Talented as a ranger, definitely outside of the classic mold. Good to bring the North into the Kingsguard and he is also clearly ok with the lifestyle.

---Gerold Dayne (Dorne) Dangerous, desperate to prove himself equal to his cousin. Important to have a Dornishman

---Lyn Corbray (The Vale) Deadly knight, very proud and not a lord. Also has no interest in women.

---Jaime Lannister (Westerlands) Probably should not be on the Kingsguard but given the fact that Cersei is Queen and ties to House Lannister are important, it would be an insult to remove him.

---Loras Tyrell (The Reach) Talented Knight, very popular. Sexual orientation in this context makes him a logical White Cloak

ALTERNATE: Bonifer Hasty (Stormlands) Religious, pious, and a famed knight. Fitting member of the Kingsguard (actually it's odd he was never named)

Master of Laws: Kevan Lannister An honor to the Lannisters and he is actually quite bright and decent.

Master of Whispers: Petyr Baelish He is quite talented at secrets and he would be 2nd best behind Varys. As for Varys, it is quite simple, he should be dead, executed after Robert took over. He was a creature of Aerys and should never have been allowed to stay as long as he did.

Master of Coin: Leyton Hightower It would be an insult to push Tywin down to this rank. The Hightowers remind me of a Medici type family.

Master of Ships: Asha Greyjoy A good way to continue to get Balon Greyjoy's loyalty. High honor at the same time and Asha is more willing to serve a greater good than Victarion. Given Hightower's presence, Redwyne is overkill and Davos while an excellent Captain is a smuggling captain, not a fighting captain

King's Justice: None Robert should do it himself. Hell, let him use the hammer and he'll probably enjoy it.

Grand Maester: Maester Marwyn Kind of knows about everything

High Septon: The Elder Brother

Master at Arms: Balon Swann Excellent knight. Can basically view the position as Kingsguard in training.

LC of Night's Watch: Jeor Mormont

Captain of the Gold Cloaks: Sandor Clegane

Warden of the North: Ned Stark

Warden of the East: Robert Arryn, fostered at Winterfell; acting Warden his castellan, Bronze Yohn Royce (if Blackfish weren't a Kingsguard then him)

Warden of the West: Tywin Lannister

Warden of the South: Doran Martell (Dorne is far more prickly against King Robert than Highgarden otherwise it should have been Mace Tyrell)

Exactly. While sitting on the Small Council or some such thing have its responsibilities there are no oaths like those demanded of the Kingsguard and thus a lord would probably be happier with that than taking the white.

Second choice: Tyrion Lannister ( same qualities as LF )

Master of Ships: Asha Greyjoy ( good captain, warrior and commands the loyalty of her men )
