Westeros: A Game of Thrones. Game thread.

Pyke is open for business.

Stannis: "Renly, surrender your dreams of claiming the throne for yourself and support me, the rightful King and follow the Order of Succession. I am the older brother, the Iron Throne is mine by right. :sternface:"
"Would you rather forsake honour for petty opportunism and play yourself in the hand of House Lannister?"

[Ishmael]

House Tyrell is here and Growing Strong.

This message has been sent by raven from Kings landing to the heads of each Great house.

My lord.

I am saddened to bring to you the news of King Robert's death, Seven rest his soul, and to invite your Noble selves to attend the Funeral ceremony to be carried out in the Great Sept of Kings landing. We also invite you to attend the subsequent coronation of King Joffrey to be carried out in the Red Keep.

Attendance of the funeral is not mandatory but the King has commanded each High Lord attends the coronation to pledge allegiance to your new King as you did to Good King Robert so long ago.

Regards,
Grand Maester Pycell.
Servant of the King.

[Montmorency]

You will pay for what you did to Princess Elia, Lannister dog.

[Greyblades]

I was unaware the mountain had re-named himself lannister.

Stannis: "Renly, surrender your forces to me, the rightful King and follow the Order of Succession. I am the older brother, the Iron Throne is mine by right. :sternface:"
"You would rather forsake honour for petty opportunism and play yourself in the hand of House Lannister?"

By what right do you claim succession Stannis? I was not aware of the fact that your father had the throne before Robert?

[Greyblades]

By what Right would either of you rule? I was unaware Robert left us heirless, and our custom is the son allways succeeds the father over the Uncles.

[Sigurd]

By law, the King's Hand rules until a new King is crowned.
And yes, It was exactly this point I was making, Tywin. King Robert, bless his soul, was the first Baratheon on the throne as he won it. It was not Baratheon's throne, it was Robert's. Any succession should come through the loins of that man.

[Greyblades]

Then we are in agreement, Eddard stark will manage the kingdom until Joffrey's coronation, what happens after that will be whatever the King wills.

[Kagemusha]

House Tyrell is interested to hear what the late King´s will is. Can we soon know of it Lord Stark?

[Beskar]

By what right do you claim succession Stannis? I was not aware of the fact that your father had the throne before Robert?

*grinds his teeth upon reading this statement*

I am sure you are aware as you played the role of "Kingmaker", my brother, Robert Baratheon is the closest legitimate blood relative (after myself) following the destruction of the House Targaryen and strongest claimant upon the throne. Following the death of Robert, the strongest blood-tie is the rightful heir to the throne, which would make me, Stannis, the heir to the throne.

As I recall, base-born brats of Robert's drunken whoring are not in line to succession.

[Arjos]

OoC: guys remember that all of us are quite apart from eachother right now :P

Unless Stannis, Tywin, Robb and Doran can shout across the whole of Westeros XD

[Beskar]

Dark wings flutter across the sky to all the houses of Westeros, from the greatest to the most humble, the ravens soar across the air bearings the words of Stannis Baratheon.

All men know me for the trueborn son of Steffon Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, by his lady wife Cassana of House Estermont. I declare upon the honour of my House that my beloved brother Robert, our late King, left no trueborn issue of his body, the boy Joffrey, the boy Tommen, and the girl Myrcella being abominations born of incest between Cersei Lannister and her brother Jaime the Kingslayer.

By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Seated as King Robert's chosen Heir Apparent, the Lord of Dragonstone.

Let all true men declare their loyalty.

Under the sign and seal of:
Stannis of House Baratheon
The First of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms

[The Stranger]

Dark wings, dark words indeed.

What proof do you have of this.
