Well, brother, I think we should get you a castle. Yronwood perhaps? If we gather the stormlords and march down the Boneway with our full strength, we can take Yronwood easily, while the Reach armies march through the Prince's Pass. We can meet up with the Reach armies as they turn to march towards Sunspear, and I bet the king would let you keep Yronwood for yourself after the battle, unless they defect to our side against the Martells.

You think so? I think Wyl is the closest keep to the Stormlands, and it is closest to Blackhaven. I guess Liam could be gifted Wyl or Yronwood, but I dunno how likely that is.
I think this is your war though, and you've gotta use it to rise in the public's eyes. If you show even more talent you could probably request a Baratheon bride (though I'm not sure who would be available). And how about the general politics of the realm?

I know, that's why I want to march seperately from the Reach armies. We can take castles down the Boneway all on our own, an then meet up with the Reachmen afterwards to march to Sunspear

Right. And I think we should press for Lord Connington to become the new Master of Laws, what do you think?

I was gonna suggest him for the Regency of the Stormlands.

Well I plan on having Lord Connington nominate Breck, given that Breck organized the plot to retake King's Landing in Benfry and Rickon's names.

He's way too young for a Regent's position, imo, he's only 15. Technically, he should need a regent himself for 1 more year. Harold Connington is an older and respected lord in the Stormlands, and I think a very good choice for regent.

True, and maybe Breck will even support Lord Connington for Lord Regent, Connington is very impressed with Breck. You weren't at the conference he pulled together, he mustered the entire Stormlands

I think Breck would make a great regent, but he's simply too young imo

Yeah, that's probably the biggest criticism he'll face.

It can be a crippling one though, in Westeros society I think. Even if they respect him as a lord and rallied to him in battle, the might not respect him enough to serve him when he is placed above them in title.

I guess? But he's also of royal birth and is first cousins with the kid he's supposed to "mentor".

Either way we control the power... so: What do you want to do with it? What goals do we want to set? Who do we like? Who do we hate?
