They have their legends here of the Watcher and the Hunter. What do you know of them?

Has anyone mentioned the King Killer?

If I fall in the arena, look after STORMBORN. And keep her from retaliating, if you can.

[*This is certainly the group Dany sent her last locked network post out to, but it can also include anyone whose player thinks they'd be included. I tried to make a list and ultimately didn't want to accidentally omit anyone. If there's reason to think either of them would consider your character friendly or a friend, your character got this.

Also, this entire post isn't really on any specific timeline; could be at any point in the last couple of weeks.]

Oh Jon, the things you'll learn

No. My mother came from the East and her family knew many methods for healing and other types of...potions. She never taught me directly, but I remember some of her methods. Her grandmother was thought to be a witch.

That is disappointing. I had hoped to understand some of his strategies, as there was talk about how clever he was.

You have fought wars before with fewer men than your enemy? It doesn't have to be men that win wars but tactics, right? Your brother never let me attend council meetings, but I know that must be true.

[northerndragon]

The east of our lands, or the east across the sea?

Tactics can win, number can win. Numbers with poor tactics can lose. Low numbers with good tactics may win, but it may be a narrow thing. You capitalize on your enemy's mistakes. The last time I was in a pitched battle, numbers defeated tactics.

[Because somebody made an emotional mistake, throwing his own tactics out the window for the sake of his youngest brother.]

The East across the sea. My mother's family was called 'Spicer'.

[For all that might mean to him.]

I could use your help. I think it would be better for us to persuade the princess to our side, but she wants numbers, more men. I think with the right strategy, we could sway her away from the Regency.

There has to be a way for her to succeed without risking too many lives.

[What it means to him is that they might have had something to do with spices. They have a family name, the way a cook or a smith might not.]

It might be that we can.

Also might be that she'll use us courting her to find out where we're weak. They say she's done that before. How much of this is real knowledge and how much of it is just tale-telling? If the Queen is COST's ally, we know of the Princess what she wants us to know. I don't know how much more we know.

I don't know of people from across the sea named Spicer, but did they come dealing in spices? From one of the cities?

[widow_of_the_crag]

My mother's grandfather was a trader who dealt in saffron and pepper. They came from Essos to Lannisport and their son was ennobled, creating House Spicer. My mother was fortunate to marry into a noble family.

[But it was always a bone of contention to her that it was to a poor nobleman and a crumbling House.]

My mother doesn't speak of her father's family. As far as she is concerned, she is Westerosi.
