Relations with Callen

[syd]

Right, I don't think it will have much of a effect on us (if any).

[melon]

Sweet.

[rindwynd]

I thinking of staying loyal to Callen so if you guys want to make a private thread

[syd]

Huh? Talk to Smith about that one. I might discourage staying loyal to Callen though given the amount of men working against you, you'll pretty quickly be quelled.

[melon]

Yea I don't want to kill my Coz.

I talked to Emelia and found out the following OOC:

Callen knew of the rebellion ahead of time and told her. Apparently Callen placed spies in the Reach. Also apparently Callen broke off a number of ties to Dorne. I'm not sure if any of that is true, but we'll see.

Well it's good to know the counter-spy network Damien established worked so well. Bleh, what's the point?

[melon]

Oh well.

[syd]

So it seems the Baratheon's have chosen to give us war. Well that's fine. I've delivered a message to Prince Andry informing him that should an army of any other kingdom cross into the Reach then Callen will be executed.

I don't think he's foolish enough to continue his rescue mission given that message.

Alea iacta est.

Hell, for all you know that's exactly what he was waiting for ;D j/k

The fact you still have Caitlyn Baratheon and her children is potentially usable as well, although the idea of threatening Barret's widow to ensure his legacy is done would be interesting, even if we know that it was Caswell that he actually loved.

Personally (and that's all the following is as I have no idea how they'll jump) I think a lot will depend on how Lannister & Dorne shape up.
I think you can bank on the Blackwoods supporting Callen, the Royces too probably. Lord Bolton isn't that much of a threat either way and Lord Harlaw will just pick over the bones of whoever looks weakest and to his best advantage.

EDIT: Of course, holding on to Lillith Royce would have been a good hostage too

[melon]

I had 600 men get her how more safe can you be.

[sercoletyrell]

Yea, that was poor RPing on Lillith's part, hopefully the admins won't let it slide, as it could be rather an important point in the war.

[melon]

Because we have a Royce hostage.

[melon]

Looks like we have her so better warn the Royces and Piers.

[syd]

I don't think they care. Things should change once they cross the border and Callen is killed. He would have two twin babies as his successors. That will make things a bit exciting...

[melon]

Especially if we can get Emelia to demand to be the Regent and look after the eldest and some one else to want the youngest one.
