The Snake In The Sand (AGoT)

[Harsh101]

I have been playing the GoT mod recently and I decide that I want to write my first AAR based it. The house I am using is custom made to add a bit of challenge and flavor to the game. The start date is March 1 of the year 3,000 which is the beginning of the Feast for Crows Scenario and I choose a High Lordship in Dorne to start out in. Expect the first installment sometime later today.

Prologue​

I am Oberyn Harsh of house Harsh and the day was bright and sunny as I rode into my new castle. Doran Martell the Prince of Dorne had given it and the High Lordship that it came with to me as a gift for my long years of service as his personal spymaster. The gift I suspect was a way for my liege to quietly replace the old High Lord of Stoneway who was the main strength of a group of Lords and Ladies who wished for his brother’s death to be avenged by burning Oldtown and the surrounding area to the ground. I suspect this because he also imprisoned the daughter of his brother who was the ring leader of the group. When I say quietly I really mean that Doran Martell had me fabricate evidence that the High Lord was plotting to rebel and then used that evidence to force the lord to step down. It was hard on my liege to do that, seeing as he is an extremely kind person but I convinced him it was for the good of the realm. Ah, I love being a High Lord; all the opportunities for advancement and power, the women, especially the women. I must of course have a lawfully wedded wife but no ever said that I can’t have other women as well. The first thing I have to do as a new lord is make plans for my future, and secure a heir. For the goal of getting a heir I think I will marry Sansa Stark who is being fostered in the Vale, or so my spy’s tell me. She is the ward of Littlefinger and from personal experience I know he won’t let her go without some prodding. However I have just the stick to use, when I was the spymaster for my liege I heard rumors that about the death of Jon Ayyrn. Let’s just say that that there are certain lords of the Riverlands who would love to get that information and use it as an excuse to force Littlfinger from his seat at Harrenhal. We shall see what the future brings.
