STATE OF AFFAIRS, 3rd Quarter of 126 ACKING VISERYS IPRESTIGE: 9
LEGITIMACY: 10
COFFERS: 4,000,000 GD
1. Princess Rhaenyra is rumored to travel to King's Landing from Dragonstone to argue over the inheritance of Driftmark given the lack of heirs to Corlys Velaryon, asking it be granted to her son. There still is some time to figure this matter out, mayhaps a few moons...
2. It has been some time since any royal progress was made, yet sending Rhaenyra undoubtedly means sending Daemon, and sending Aegon would almost certainly send the wrong message with Rhaenyra as designated heir... It has been some time since your own person sat atop your dragon to observe your kingdom, though with your age maybe another candidate would be preferable
AEGON TARGARYENPRESTIGE: 5
LEGITIMACY: 2
COFFERS: 50,000 GD
1. You have not bedded your wife in three moon's turns, yet you have fathered a bastard. The child has the look, but it is up to you whether or not to recant his parentage.
2. Your son is growing up to be 'soft' without your attendance, more often left with servants or your mother. Will you try and rectify this, or continue to let the wine flow?
DAEMON TARGARYENPRESTIGE: 7
LEGITIMACY: 4
COFFERS: 200,000 GD
1. Your 'Kingdom' in the Stepstones collapsed almost the instant you grew bored with it, though you did fatten your purse and grow your own respect in the world, as did Corlys Velaryon, who pressures you to join a new venture with him to grow both of your wealths...

AEMOND TARGARYENPRESTIGE: 6
LEGITIMACY: 3
COFFERS: 20,000 GD
1. A match has not yet been made for you, and at the rate the rest of the fools pratter on it seems better for you to take the matter into your own hands if you aspire to be anything more than a rutting stallion for the dynasty.
OTTO HIGHTOWERPRESTIGE: 6
LEGITIMACY: 5
COFFERS: 60,000 GD
1. The reign of Viserys has been peaceful... Maybe too much so. You have not had a chance for your reputation to soar, rather it is bogged down by the fact you've been sacked twice from your current position. Things are going well enough now to be sure, but is passive how you want to be remembered by the maesters and singers, if remembered at all?
LYMAN BEESBURYPRESTIGE: 9
LEGITIMACY: 10
COFFERS: 450,000 GD
1. The coffers of the Iron Throne are full, and you have kept the books in the black perpetually for decades... Yet one of your closest courtiers wonders if more aggressive lending and investing by the crown could grow this amount even more, and snidely suggests that the more coin flows in, the more seems to be lost in the inherent shuffle of things....
TYLAND LANNISTERPRESTIGE: 4
LEGITIMACY: 5
COFFERS: 180,000 GD
1. You have always stood in the shadow of your older(slightly older) twin brother Jason; he is Lord of Casterly Rock, and you are left to climb your own way up. Given a solid amount of inheritance and your own ingenuity, you are in good position in King's Landing to continue climbing the ranks, and perhaps even pulling some power beneath yourself. The world is your oyster as is said in Lys...
Corlys VelaryonPRESTIGE: 10
LEGITIMACY: 10
COFFERS: 5,000,000 GD
1. You remain in bed, so ill that talk of your succession has become an open topic. Only time will tell of the Sea Snake can weather this mayhaps final storm, and though you are too weak to put pen to paper yourself, you still have maesters to pen letters for you.
ARWYN TYRELL/OAKHEARTPRESTIGE: 2
LEGITIMACY: 3
COFFERS: 1,500,000 GD
1. You are young, and your son and the rightful lord of the Reach is a babe in arms. It is crucial at this time to use the support of the crown to consolidate power under yourself of the mainland houses currently less than absolutely loyal to you; Rowan of Goldengrove, Tarly of Horn Hill, Florent of Brightwater Keep, Bulwer of Blackcrown, Costayne of Three Towers, Redwyne of the Arbor, Peake of Starpike, and most importantly, Hightower of Oldtown.
2. The Shield islands are in even worse shape. With the peace Targaryen rule has brought from the ironborn, their independence grows. It must needs be nipped in the bud, and your immediate actions here will do much for popularity and legitimacy on the mainland. Your councilors have various propositions for their fealty;
-A show of force. Show up with a decent host and demand audience, or better yet, with a fleet and be prepared to make an example of a minor or major shield island house to force the rest under heel.
-Statecraft and Diplomacy. Arrange marriages with the houses, make bribes and bring gifts.
-Intrigue. Infiltrate the the main power houses of isle and dismantle them, using bribes, uncovered secrets and by playing them against eachother.
