OK, as resident spy on the Lannisters, latest news is here.
Rhaella is back on the board, having been ill after an accident but hopes to be on frequently now.
Allard's lord's council is in session and they've come up with a very long list of demands for callen, many of which would get them a lot of influence on him like marriages and places on the Small Council.
For now, that's it.

Right now, they don't have the bargaining chips for lots of marriages and place(s!) on the Council. They will be overwhelmed in a war, and forced to heal like dogs. At best, they could hope for 1 marriage, and not with Callen himself, and maybe 1 place on the Council (though as what, I don't know -- not as Hand). Even that would be lenient.

And Jeyne Lannister would have to remain Allard's heir.

It sounded as though they want to marry off Callen's as yet non-existent kids, which is a bit strange...

Callen is trying to reserve Master of Laws for Lord Stark. Only Redwyne makes sense for Master of Ships (early supporter, too), Horas is in as Master of Whispers, Master of Coin is open (maybe a Lannister? Suits them), Hand is open (not a Lannister, no way. Not sure what Callen is thinking), Lord Commander of KG is open (Callen wants a general -- he inquired about Lord Dominic Grafton, but I resisted).

Well, Allard and Randal are both new and may not realize Callen has no kids.

He's a Lord. His house is in contention. I don't think he'd do it.

I like the idea of Elane as coin too, but that might be the only bargaining chip. He should also consider a Stormlord for something...

Next Update:
Allard has decided he was a total twit in declaring himself King since everyone but the North has sided with Callen and the North won't treat with him.
So they've decided to attempt to treat with the North and Dorne again, by offering to allow Benjen Stark to be King in the North and offering Dorne, Highgarden and the Reach as well as their current lands when (if) they overthrow Callen and ergo can get rid of the Tyrells.

It would, admittedly, save us all a lot of trouble.
And now Rhaella's turned up in KL. Allard is going to go crazy! This I have to see...
*Yay! The great and almighty Royce family hit 1000 posts at last!*

The Lannisters have started being very quiet again, so I'd watch out for them, they're probably plotting something via PM... Keep an eye out just in case.

Angala Flowers, once squire (as Angul) to Lord Baldwin, is hanging out in the Casterly Rock kitchens, plotting Allard's downfall. I think I'll mention this to Callen in case he needs a witness against Allard  |

Allard is in a lot of trouble. We're marching on him first, before the Ironborn. The Vale and Riverland armies will march from Raventree Hall as soon as the snows relent, and Callen will lead an army via the Gold Road. The Tyrells have been asked to take the strength of the Reach via the Sea Road. Callen is not asking Allard for terms.

They've realised they're totally screwed. Ella and I are laughing at them on the board with Jorah. Feel free to laugh at them too. ;D

Hope you all are well and happy.
