    Wouldn't be a GoT story without some strife!

    Maybe we'll see an even bigger purge of the Seven's Faithful?

    Lyanna is a Disney Princess...in Westeros...oh crap.

    This felt as startling to me as it did to Luwin. I don't have a problem with dealing with the mental darkness that Brandon's dreaming was dealing, but it felt...I guess extreme is the right word. It might have helped to place an interlude earlier on where Brandon first began to be confronted...

    I don't know how, but I forgot about this until you mentioned it. I'm going to have to read through all this again to keep pace. I forget stuff after a while.

    OK, I liked that one. That's going to be one hum-dinger of a get-togheether!

    It's not about the extenuating circumstances. Its about the fact that each one was just taught new and useful tactics with a lesson that jams it home. Ned Will not be blinkered by his honor, though he'll likely take blows still. Robert may be the most effected as he's learned to think about...

    Holy shit the ripples! 😮 I think you just made both Robert and Ned more dangerous by orders of magnitude.

    Took me a sec to figure out the POV, but I liked it a lot once I caught the rhythm.

    The amount of training needed to be proficient with firearms is MUCH less than learning melee weapons. As for the crossbow training...I'm talking about a portion of a unit that's trained to fire through his own unit while it is engaged. That will take a lot of training to develop the skills and...

    I'd recommend your long bowman take up skirmisher tactics and dispersed formations. Lets them use cover and the longbow will allow dispersed formations to still focus fire on concentrated troops. Additionally, focus training for your infantry unit. EITHER polearm OR short sword and shield...

    "...by the time war breaks out, if it ever does." That made me LOL! I mean...this is the game of thrones after all. 😆

    I think the North's population boom will actually be staggering enough to create a fairly heavy cultural pressure. Especially with the addition of southron immigration. Theyre going to bring enough 'southern' cultural baggage to stress the northern traditions and setup. Not to mention all the...

    Modern sail plans and coppered bottoms will make the extra weight extremely bearable, and still probably have more maneuverability than what's floating around Westeros.

    I'm wondering what would happen to Westeros if a former soldier-turned-farmer led a successful uprising against cruel nobles. I'm thinking kof someone like Gird from the Paksenarrion series of Elizabeth Moon.

    One scary part for the nobility is the peasants lynching the priests. It's not a huge jump to go from there to lynching nobles.

    A King not Mad? What the hell man?! How Will We Cope?!

    The Vault of Knowledge is now broken and pilfered. The House of Faith defiled by its own and sanguinated by its followers. Nature does abore a vacuum. It's sure gonna get messy!
