Clash of Kings, an ASOIAF Game (The End)

Raven to Ser Daven Lannister
cc: Lord Tywin Lannister

Ser Daven,

We send this raven to you as it is apparent that Lord Tywin is rather preoccupied at the moment, though if he has the time we would gladly negotiate with him as well. We have set most of your coastline on fire and captured several of your noble families. We do not have much use for greenlander nobility and would like to seek a fair bargain. We will cease burning your land (not that there's much unburnt coastline left) and shall return your nobles if your house and those who swear allegiance to it give up Fair Island and recognize it as belonging to the Iron Islands. As proof of our good intentions and in recognition of their bloodline we shall release those members of House Kenning that we presently hold immediately and give them passage back to Kayce.

-Balon Greyjoy, King of the Iron Islands

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Even more importantly, who tried to kill me? Not that I didn't anticipate it...

The Hound or Stannis would my guess.

His Grace celebrated a service of Thanksgiving at the High Sept in Kings Landing in order to celebrate the victory over the Lannister usurpers and commemorate the lives lost in the epic battle. Offering prayers to the Seven Gods, he led worship in thanks of their blessings.

...the f**k? Who would have an interest in killing Jaime? Probably someone who feared a Stark-Lannister deal. One of Stannis' child-things?

And where is my sister?

[Antonio the Sixth]

A raven to Tywin Lannister

My Lord,

I beg you to accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your son Jaime. As much as I may have despised him and sought to bring justice for his crimes against my brother, he was my hostage, and, as such, was under my protection. It seems rather evident that the assassin had an interest in harming both your cause and mine, but he shall soon learn what it costs to conspire against the North.

Although the vile Joffrey and his mother, who conspired against my father, have fully deserved their dire fate, I deeply regret that countless innocents have also died in the aftermath of the siege. This would never have happened under my command.

-- Robb of the House Stark, First of his Name, King in the North

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

OOC: Now I have to figure out what to fight for beyond mere survival.  I have a large fighting force, but I mean really what more can I accomplish beyond killing Stannis to avenge Joffrey, Cersei, Jaime, and Tommon?  If Stannis and Renly die, then what?   Who am I saying is even King?  Joffrey dying instead of narrowly escaping certainly makes things infinitely harder   Decisions, decisions...

OOC: Daenerys is probably laughing her ass off at the whole situation.

So, basically, the Lannisters got served in more or less the same way the Starks were in "The Rains of Castamere". Just replace the four Stark kids with Tywin, Tyrion and Daven...

OOC: And Myrcella, for what it's worth. So you're still not quite as screwed as we were, though the Lannister family seems to be much more numerous (thanks to the Mad King!).

OOC: Still, Joffrey and Tommon dying really screws us.  Those dice don't like me one bit

[Antonio the Sixth]

OOC: Someone should write "The Rains of King's Landing" to commemorate the event.

[Antonio the Sixth]

A Proclaim:

The time has come for each and every remaining faction in this to make clear what they truly want. For the North, the War of the Five Kings might very well come to an end. Lord Eddard's death has been avenged, our enemies are dead, and, despite the inconvenience caused by a renegade Lord of Bear Island, our land is mostly secure. Were King Stannis and his new allies to recognize the North and Riverlands as a free and independent realm, not one drop of blood will have to be shed. King Stannis, Lord Renly, Lord Willas, make your intentions known! Are you peaceful allies, or enemies of the North? If you leave us in peace, you shall fear nothing from us. However, if you refuse to recognize our claim for independence, prepare for war.

-- Robb of the House Stark, First of his Name, King in the North

[Donerail]

A Proclaim:

Harmund Sharp has served the Ironborn cause well, yet is not himself Lord of House Sharp. By my power as King of the Iron Islands, I hereby grant him the authority to create a cadet branch of House Sharp, House Sharp of Faircastle, to rule the newly added territory of Fair Island.

In an unrelated matter, myself, my daughter, and my two brothers shall each select eight men to serve as our guards - a temporary precaution given the instability in King's Landing and the recent assassination of both Lord Tyrell and Ser Jaime Lannister.

-Balon Greyjoy, King of the Iron Islands

OOC: given Harmund's age and the fact that he is not named as Lord of his House, I'm assuming a brother has it. My two brothers are the two on Pyke, Victarion and the Damphair.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

To Lord Tywin Lannister:

Your house lies in ruins. Your kith and kin have departed this earth. Your army is wavering. Come now, and do not fight this useless fight. If you seek to keep your neck- all you have left, honestly- you will do what is wisest and lay down your arms.

Prince Renly Baratheon

OOC: Don't worry Simfan, we're good   I just feel like Tywin would be about ready to go Ramsay Snow on Stannis and Renly at this point

"My Lord,

My House lies in ruins, just as you say.  Much of my family has indeed been slaughtered by the wretched vermin of House Baratheon, some of them members of that very House.  However, you are mistaken if you believe all I have left is my neck.  In fact, it is not even the most valuable thing I have left.  All my life, I have lived for two things and two things only, my family and the legacy of my House.  Along with the Tyrells, you and your usurper brother have burned both of those things to the ground.  I have but one thing left and that is to avenge them.  I will show your House and all who align with it the same mercy which you showed my family.  You have spared two members of my House and so I will allow Edric Storm and Mya Stone to live the remainder of their days as prisoners should I capture them. 

However, I owe you and your brother a special debt and a Lannister always pays his debts.  Rest assured, this debt will be payed in full, even if it costs me my life.  When my forces have retaken Kings Landing, and rest assured they will, whether under the command of myself, my brother, Ser Marbrand, or another commander, the Mountain, Ser Gregor Clegane, will be permitted to do as he wishes with your wife and unborn child.  Fear not though, I have no doubt he will be every bit as merciful towards them as he was when your brother Robert had me send him after the Targaryen children.  While he may well rip her limb from limb, she may be dead by then which would make her death a good deal less painful than the one my eldest Grandson suffered at the hands of your mob just before he could reach safety behind my lines.  Any highborn not otherwise mentioned in this message from House Tyrell or House Baratheon will have their heads put spikes.  I will give Stannis' wife and the daughter she had with his court fool the same choice that you gave my daughter Cersei and my youngest grandson, Tommon.  They will be permitted to chose between poisoning themselves and being burned alive.  I have no doubt Stannis will approve as the wretched beast is reportedly quite fond of burning people alive.  I hear he would stand and listen to his victims screams in the dead of night during his days on Dragonstone.  One wonders what he would do to you, Lord Renly, if he ever suspected you of disloyalty.  Does it give you pause, to think about what might become of a shameless, sycophantic opportunist and would-be usurper such as yourself after the war, once Stannis Baratheon no longer has any need for you?  Fear not, we will never find out the answer.

I owe you and your brother a truly special debt.  I might just have to temporarily reintroduce the practice of flaying in order to pay it fully.  When you find yourself in the deepest of the black cells, Lord Renly, you will find time loses its meaning.  Days and nights, weeks and months, they all blur together, or so I'm told.  But one day, and rest assured the day will come (although you may be missing a few bits by then, but what's a few fingers here or an ear there), you and your brother will realize that everyone either of you ever carried for is dead thanks to your actions.  You will both realize that House Baratheon has been burned to the ground in its entirety.  All that will remain to suggest that your House ever existed will be a legacy of ashes.  One day you will know what it is to truly taste the ashes of your family, your House, and your legacy, and on that day you will know that the debt has been paid." - Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West, Shield of Lannisport

OOC: Oh my god, this is just freaking amazing! You were born for that role, you know? They should have casted you over Charles Dance

Thanks   I am glad folks are enjoying GameTywin, he is an extremely fun character to write for.  To be compared to Dance's performance even as a joke is high praise, indeed!  Anyway, this is just the warm up act, the main show starts whenever Roose Bolton becomes important here

OOC: Well, I'm not going to screw things up the way the real Robb did, so he should never become that "important". But I'd love to have you on my side helping me fight for Northern independence.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Oh and while I'm here...

Does this mean I no longer get to play the Tyrells?

Who posioned me?!?!??

Note to Lumine: Obviously, I still don't want any details of the plot revealed until the end of the game.

Note to Willas Tyrell: Normally I wouldn't say this and I'm sure I'll regret it in a few turns, but I'll feel bad if the Reach Bolton plot kills you again right after you re-entered the game  For your sake, you should probably get on this sooner rather than later...

Just as death changed LSH, so too has it changed House Tyrell. Your cities will burn, your people will hang, and your gold will be ours. You Tywin, you ingrate and craven, shall see your people killed, your family thrown asunder, and your entire life's work put to waste.

Someone needs to rule the Reach after you and your brothers are killed.  It seemed like as good a code as any for the poisoner given that it is the Reach and Bolton's role in the series after THAT event which shall not be named or otherwise spoiled.
