What if Jon Snow LEFT The Night's Watch and JOINED Rob Stark - Full Movie

what if Jon Snow left the knights watch and joined Rob Stark let's explore the depths of it in the video Rob surveys the gathered Lords seated before him in the Great Hall of riverrun all around him northmen and riverlords debate their next move although he knows he must rely on these men he doesn't know them and wonders whether or not they truly have his best interests at heart although his mom and the Blackfish continue to guide him he feels he can't relate to them his thoughts are interrupted by his guard announcing someone has arrived outside the walls and is looking for the king frowning Rob hurries out to see who the stranger is his confusion quickly turns to Joy as he sees the man before him although taller and looking more mature Rob immediately recognizes his half brother John by the gods it is you I thought I thought we might never meet again what are you doing here did you leave the W I have have you taken your vows John I have but I could not stay away Ned was my father too and you're my brother if you mean to go to war I want to fight alongside you Rob's expression falters as he considers everything he said but then his expression softens and he pulls Jon close into a hug to hell with your oath John you came here now and I need you we'll figure out how to make this right you find no executioner here John you're my blood my court will welcome you before Jon can respond a voice cuts through the air rob you cannot mean to take him in he's my brother Mother he's my Father's son he has as much right to be here as any of us he's a deserter of the Night's Watch the law is clear all deserters are to be executed no matter their blood or have you forgotten the same law your father upheld I do not ask for immunity lady Stark is right I left the wall to come here if you see fit to carry out the sentence I will not fight you I am not my father and I am King in the north now and what would your lord say when they see you sheltered a deserter you cannot hope to conceal the truth from them I will do no such thing but I can tell them I intend to make amends with the knight's watch Once I return I will not stop you but just know this is a dangerous game you are playing thankfully things are not as bad as Catelyn expects with their recent win over the Lannisters the Lords are in High Spirits while Rob hides nothing they are willing to accept his words and some like great John even take it as a good omen saying how the king's success has reached even the wall however John is not given a command and instead remains only only as Rob's adviser with his Declaration of Independence Rob Now searches for allies and tries to appeal the greyjoys including sending Theon back as an Envoy but catlyn objects she finds an ally in Jon who never trusted Theon he argues that while Theon proved his loyalty there is no telling what sort of man Balon is it would be better to keep him there until an alliance is secured and use him as a bargaining chip reluctantly Rob agrees and sends Lord Jason malister instead in the meantime Rob and Jon decide to move farther west to begin carrying the westerlands to try and draw Lord Taiwan out Rob and JN lead their forces into the westerlands raiding Villages and castles sowing fear among taiwan's vassals these strikes culminate in the Battle of oxcross where Rob ambushes A Lannister host under sir Stafford Lannister however trouble bruise in the north as the ironborn launched their Invasion but without Theon Greyjoy to guide them they only capture a few minor castles meanwhile Theon remains with Rob Stark and though honor dictates that he be executed as punishment Rob hesitates instead he offers Theon a choice to renounce his family and condemn their actions this was done with the urging of Jon Snow given this Choice Theon throws his lot in with the Starks their only true success is capturing Mo Kalin however reports soon emerged that an ironborn fleet was approaching seag guard after they captured Lord malister without its Lord they hope to take the vital Port Jon Snow defends seard Jon arrives just in time as the ironborn are trying to storm the walls with a force of hastily assembled forces Jon organizes a surprise nighttime assault the ironborn are caught off guard their ships set a flame seeing this the remaining seag guard Defenders Sally out and crush the ironborn force capturing or SL playing their captains the Battle of seagard is a resounding victory for the Starks and many lords now regard Jon with new respect as he returns to riverrun he is displeased to see Catlin there and tries to avoid her as much as possible but despite his best efforts he can't help but overhear One exchange she has with sir cleos Frey who returns with terms from the Lannisters insults in truth and he's ready to dismiss it until he hears that they came from Tyrion Jon thinks of the dwarf in their time Journey to the wall my lady if you come to speak of Cleo's terms save your breath we'll not lower ourselves to answering insults I agree the terms are no true offer of peace no more than ours speak plainly John I I'm simply wondering why we bother with this Mama's F exchanging terms that we do not expect the other to accept it is a matter of Lords we must keep face you're right that is something I do not understand understand but I do know it need not be like this I know Tyrion Lannister A Journey to the wall with him I know you mislike him but perhaps if we were to send some Ravens very well I will allow it write to him we will see if the Imp has truly risen above his House's cruelties but I expect all of these terms to be presented to Rob soon a raven flies out from riverrun Landing in King's Landing Tyrion is surprised to hear that Jon Snow serves his brother but can't help but admire the young bastard's willingness to talk a flurry of ravens soon moves between the two houses exchanging pleasantries catching up and discussing terms these take up much of the time debating the fate of the riverlands exchanging of hostages and the North's Independence eventually an agreement is reached one where Rob agrees to lay down his arms and will acknowledge jof is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne though both are careful to avoid calling him Lord of the Seven Kingdoms is Tyrion places terms in which Rob is allowed to continue calling himself King in the north though he must pay tariffs which are a thinly disguised word for tribute the one sticking point comes with Jaime as Tyrion wants him as soon as possible but Jon will only hand him over after the peace has been signed however there is little time to discuss these terms as the Lannisters find themselves embroiled in the battle of the Blackwater against Stannis however to everyone's surprise the Lannisters managed to win this battle and this defeat puts an end to stannis's threat though he survives he doesn't have the forces to threaten the Lannisters this puts them in a strong position to negotiate especially since the tyrells have agreed to Alliance with them placing a massive Army under the Lannister's control this leaves Rob with only one real bargaining chip Jamie Lannister this isn't the end of Rob's troubles either as riverrun receives word from the wall reporting that a wildling army is now marching out to attack and they are in desperate need of reinforcements the Lords are split on what to do next Lord kstark urges the gathered Nobles not to forget their goal defeating the Lannisters he reminds them that the wall has held for thousands of years and even a hundred men can hold back an army Lord umber though is less certain as his lands are closest to the wall and urges them to ride back and help their supporters all begin to roar their support or Ascent to the plan leading to an uproar in the Great Hall enough you call the knights watch thieves and murderers but how many of you have served alongside them or been to the wall I there are criminals but they are good men who would give their lives to keep us safe we cannot abandon them now not when they face a threat they cannot stand against alone and what of the small folk they defend your small folk if they fall the north will burn our people will suffer it will be on us we shall be little better than the Lannisters for a moment it seems Jon's words have swayed the room but then lame loar Frey steps forward noble words from a deserter a man who swore the same Oaths he now urges us to honor and then abandon them tell me johon snow why should we heed the counsel of a man who couldn't keep his vows I know my mistakes Lord Frey I intend to make amends for them amends you call it not perhaps to help your Lannister friends in court my spies tell me you have secretly corresponded with Tyrion Lannister the very hand of the king who leads our enemies surely you will consent to us to search your quarters is this true the hall Falls silent Jon's jaw tightens but he says nothing Lords demand answers but then he speaks I I talked to Lord Tyrion I hope that our friendship would allow us to secure better terms I hope to show you after our meeting he confesses search the room find what terms he sold our kingdom for Lords jump to their feet and Roar at Jon while men are dispatched to his room little does anyone know that Jon wasn't the only one talking to the Lannisters after the Blackwater Lord Frey began to consider his options as he doubted whether house Stark could truly win the war and began extending overtures to House Lannister Tywin is open to sparing them but only if they can SE descent within the Stark ranks as the chaos ensues catlyn feels a hand reach out to her and sees black Walder glancing over at her and taking her to the hall lady Stark you know what must be done I know you have no love for the boy consider this situation an opportunity give us your support as the King's mother your words weigh it he's my husband's son and yet not truly one of your own think about it my lady you'd be doing your son your king a service by removing such a liability from his court not long after the Men return to the hall bearing the letters the phase spoke about the terms are read aloud and the room grows angrier and angrier as they hear it the letter is are proof enough he's been conspired with the Enemy by All rights he should be executed for treason and desertion I it's the law and the boy knows it enough the room Stills as she holds up a hand she steps to Jon's side addressing the Lord's directly the letters you found were sanctioned by me I instructed JN to write to Tyrion Lannister on behalf of this Council to GAE the possibility of peace they were to be shown to Rob upon his return John acted on my orders not in defiance of them if there is such a crime for acting as an emissary for the Queen Mother I shall bear the punishment I know of No Such law I entrusted my mother with handling the Diplomatic Affairs of my kingdom if she saw this as necessary I see no reason to punish either of them even so he's still a deserter the law is clear you said you intend to make amends with the knight's watch yet there might not be a Night's Watch by the time you ride North the gods do no favors to those who flee Justice let him walk free and you will curse your banners then let him have a trial if you fear the God's Wrath let us put it to the test what do you propose before we can talk of going north we must discuss Mo Kalin so long as the iron born hold it then our words are wind let us see if the gods truly favor our path let Jon Snow lead the attack and if he succeeds then let that be proof that we are not cursed if not then one way or another the king's justice has been served no I will not let it be said that I cursed my brother should I succeed I vow to return to the knight's watch to face punishment this is enough for most Lords many men are still loyal to Jon after seeing his success giving him an army of nearly 2 and 1 half thousand to his surprise among them is Theon groy I've faced worse odds before besides I owe you snow let's call this repayment John nods and his small army marches up the causeway they find a small group of men waiting for him bearing the Sigil of a lizard lion a bearded wiry man stands at their head as Jon approach he and his men all drop to one knee John snow I'm Howland Reed Lord of greywater watch I've come to offer my Aid Lord Reed I didn't expect we are proud to serve our Stark as always my people know its swamps better than anyone let us help you reclaim it your Aid is most welcome can you lead me in 500 men north of Mo Kalin easily I will lead you myself Meanwhile my best fighters will help keep the ironborn busy and I'll give them something to distract them let me approach the gates acting as though I've escaped Stark's captivity my kin won't be able to resist sending men after me that should buy you the distraction you need are you certain absolutely let's see how much my dear family hates me the swamps around Mo Kalin were eerily silent the silence is only broken by the sound of a horse Theon Greyjoy stumbles towards the gates his ragged appearance aiding authenticity to his feigned Escape behind him the distant shapes of Northman remains hidden open the damn Gates you fools it's me Theon Gro I've escaped the Starks they're trying to storm The Castle open the gates I have their plans the guards confer amongst themselves before a small gate Creeks open a handful of ironborn emerge weapons drawn as they approach Theon suddenly a distant horn blares from the swamps as poisoned arrows and Spears come flying out out Howen Reed's cranic men emerg like Phantoms their Shields covered in swamp muck behind them Lions of northmen emerge and swarm the small group who find themselves surrounded and cut down arrows and throwing axes begin to rain down on the attackers below Theon draws a hidden dagger and slits the throat of the nearest Soldier before using him as a shield the northmen rush to and fro to try and breach the gates of the three towers leaving the Defenders to try and hold them back from the north Jon leads his contingent attacking the fortress's weakest defenses with the battle below no one realizes what's going on until they are right on top of them Jon Snow's men breach through the gates of the tower these Begin to Fall one by one word soon spread south of Jon's success reinvigorating the north who all view this as a positive sign far from being cursed some even begin to think Jon might be a good luck charm even more good news comes in as Catlin reunites with Arya and the twins but this is only the first phase of their campaign the second part is to crush the wildling Army unfortunately Lord kstark is incorrect as the wall is unable to hold back the wildlings and the knight's watch is on the verge of Collapse by the time the Northman Army arrives they March to the site of Castle black burning its Rangers fled or deserted as wildlings stream through their Advance is fairly slow as they focus on pillaging the gift but the nearby mountains the lands of the northernmost houses suffer heavily the northern armies marched through the snow covered Plains of the gift they've defeated several smaller pockets of wildlings forcing them to retreat and regroup from these battles they also hear some stranger news King Stannis had attempted to Aid the knights watch but Castle black had already fallen to the wildlings by the time he arrived though he managed to kill many his army was overwhelmed Rob Stark surveys the battlefield his direwolf pacing restlessly by his side he splits the Army into three parts one to hold the center one to flank the wild links and another in reserve he rides to the Vanguard with Jon Snow the wildlings strike first their Savage cries echoing across the frozen field they charge in a disorganized wave wielding crude weapons or captured swords from their recent success on the flanks disciplined then Warriors push forward holding the wildlings and preventing a flank attack the northern Shield wall readies Shields lock Spears thrust and the initial wildling charge is absorbed with grim determination Jon fights at the front his sword flashing as he cuts through the chaos around him men fall but the line holds firm Rob leads the northern Cavalry smashing into the wildlings Left Flank where the then form their Shield wall surprisingly they hold against the first charge thanks to their bronze armor and weapons however without their Cavalry the wildlings cannot Chase off the enemy Army this allows Rob to charge again and again until their line begins to fold and retreat but in the center Jon faces off against torman Giants Bane torin's massive axe swinging in deadly arcs John ducks and Perry's arm shaking from the strength of those attacks torman laughs and swings at him again each strike powerful enough to cleave him in two but Jon is faster he bats aside each strike and manages to get under torin's defenses striking him across the chest but this is a shallow cut and torman tackles him to the ground here the wildling has the advantage and punches him across the face Jon tries to strangle the chieftain but tormen reaches and bites Jon's fingers until they hear the scraping of Steel around him now this is wildling true and true but it appears you lost the battle they glance around and see the wildlings either on their knees or retreating in all directions among the former is man radar who is surrounded by Rob's battle guard yield tormund hesitates blood dripping from his lips before he nods around them the Wild Thing forces begin to crumble the northern Cavalry encircles the remaining wildlings Rob summons mans torment and the other wildling leaders to Parlay the defeated Warriors Gather in a tent with the King Beyond the Wall brought forward with his hands bound you think we're here to conquer we're running the others are coming we fled South to escape them he's telling the truth I've seen them one white nearly killed Lord Commander mment if the wildlings are running something is chasing them something terrifying even if that's true these people caused chaos in the north they've raided us for Generations are we just expected to forget that no let me keep an eye on them we can't very well throw them back across the wall so let them settle in the gift and watch the wall with what remains of the black brothers and let me return to fulfill my oath let me be a deserter no more that seems like a fitting punishment Rob looks at his brother skepticism fading replaced with pain at what he's just heard he wants to shake his head and Order Jon to remain with him but he has to admit that the plan is sound and it would pacify his Lords very well these people can't roam unchecked you'll stay south of the wall to be their guide died harm no one take no more than you need and my men won't harm you fair enough we want to live Stark but we kneel to no one I am no Lord just a bastard of Winterfell I expect no filthy and demand no service Beyond you given up rating very well those terms are acceptable the Lords murmur among themselves as the wildlings are released under Jon's supervision the though many remain uneasy the battle is won and now it is time to resettle them this leaves only the ironborn left but compared to the other threats they are hardly an afterthought Rob does not even take the field himself instead he simply dispatches his Lords to retake their respective castles part of him wants to order new levies to be raised but he also considers the offer Jon Snow gave with how turbulent things have been he begins wondering whether he should accept it as Rob sits in Winterfell surrounded by his brothers and sisters he realizes that this is what his father fought so hard to preserve it wasn't dreams of Glory or the thrill of battle but these thoughts are interrupted by a visitor one from the veil as the guards let him in Rob and Catlin are both surprised to see Littlefinger appear clasping his hands together and smiling ah the young king in the north we meet at last allow me to offer my congratulations on your recent victories Peter what are you doing here the veil has declared neutrality in this war the veil may have my dear Catalin but times have changed as it happens I've been named lord perant of the rivins and the Regent of the veil after lady Liza's tragic passing all given to you by the Lannisters why should I trust a word you say the listers and I let's say we've reached the limit of our mutual benefit now this leaves me free to serve whom I see fit and what is it you want Peter H kathyn you know me too well my claim to the riverin and the veil is tenuous at best the Knights of the veil respect only force and my position over the rivins is not yet secure I need your strength your grace and your support in return I offer mine and you expect me to just swallow this a fair question you're already smarter than your father allow me to offer a token of good faith I've heard how you found your youngest girl please allow me to make your family whole again Sansa Stark is safe under my protection I helped her escape the Lannisters and brought her to the veil with your consent I'll return her to your family immediately Rob's breath catches and catelyn's hand flies to her chest Sansa yes cat she's alive and well you have my word and why would you do this why betray the Lannisters now because there is a great opportunity for you this war has five Kings yet now only one remains Stannis renley Bon Joffrey and even Tywin are all gone Tywin is dead murdered by Tyrion Lannister himself now with the Veil nothing stands between you and victory and what is the cost of this Alliance Peter a small price as I mentioned I need to secure my grip over the veil to provide its Knights our houses have old ties perhaps making them official shall help my mother is not yours to bargain for it is not an insult your grace but a proposal born of necessity consider the strength such a union would bring the rivins United under me the veil behind your banners three of the greatest houses by your side and the Seven Kingdoms ripe for the plucking what better way to secure the north to Christen the rebuilding of Winterfell a wedding is held in the godswood which Northern Lords and new wildlings are invited to attend this is the product of long hours of negotiation between Rob Catlin and Littlefinger as promised Littlefinger has sent Sansa home from the Veil where she reunites with her family while grateful for that the Starks are far from convinced even Catlin who grew up with him begins to have her doubts however the armies of the veil are too important to ignore and they reluctantly agree to this marriage proposal albeit with different terms as his Overlord of the riverlands remains with edmir any children will not supersede lordship over the North riverlands or Erie their ruling houses shall still be the Starks tules and erands Littlefinger gladly agrees to these terms and septum is called and organizes the ceremony however it is a quiet Affair as people seem less inclined to celebrate Chief among them catlyn who does so with great reluctance yet Peter remains oblivious to this as he smiles and regards his bride I'm going to scream when I make love to my wife I'm going to scream so loud they'll hear me across the narrow sea later that night Rob Stark tries to ignore the screams as he considers his next move to his surprise things have been quiet from his Southern border as Lord Tywin followed Joffrey to the Grave Rob already sent some River Lords by the Blackfish to begin fortifying strengthening the riverlands for a possible Invasion unfortunately with the reach now on the crown side not only are they outnumbered but they can invade from three areas Littlefinger soon advises Rob to visit the veil to personally meet with the Lords there to thank them for their help though he is no longer master of coin many merchants and businesses he has dealings with still have ties with him for that reason He suggests using that money to rebuild the riverlands meanwhile the rule of the north is left to Sansa and Jon Snow who was aided by mans Jon Snow is now only an overseer of the wildlings and doesn't hold any titles in the veil many lords were anxious to join the war of the five Kings John Aaron's love for Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon is well known so they are eager to join his son they readily agree and be in assembling their men one portion of this Army will go to the riverlands to help stabilize it but Littlefinger suggests sending another portion elsewhere the stormlands though Littlefinger is no General he understands chaos and sees the death of Stannis and renley Baratheon leave them without leadership while they are sworn to the Iron Throne he points out their loyalty is not solid a bold strike there might potentially cut the westerlands and reach from the crownlands meanwhile in the north Jon continues as attempts to settle the wildlings across the region in his efforts he's joined by Mance Arya and Sansa the former King Beyond the Wall proves to be useful in Bridging the Gap between the free folk and northmen helping assuage quarrelsome Chieftain and giving them a voice in the ruling but to everyone's surprise Sansa and Arya prove to help win them over Arya is sent to be fostered by torment Giants Bane so she may learn to become a spear wife sansa's courtly training and singing voice can win other Chieftain over in a Land of desolation like those Beyond the Wall songs are among the few Joys they have and her singing voice is nearly as effective as the diplomacy of Jon Snow Jon Snow being highly respected across the north makes the Northlands more willing to cooperate together they teach the wildlings smithing allow their children to ward in great houses and conduct trade that improves their standards of living as a result raiding becomes less common they also receive letters from Rob which provides them regular updates on events Rob writes that Littlefinger has convinced the Lords of the veil to send us Aid the Knights of the veil will ride under Lord Roy's banner and to reinforce his position in the rivlin Lord Bish will soon join them to help rebuild the realm the veils Knights are some of the finest in Westeros if Rob has their backing it's no small thing I another debt we owed to this Lord pinky finger little finger Lord Raider what do you mean no small thing I but it's worth asking why would a man like Bish help your brother where I'm from men follow Deeds but also the promise of loot weapons gold and women a man like him wants something from his King s you live with Lord palish what sort of man is he like Littlefinger saved me John he freed me from King's Landing and he kept me safe from lce and the Eerie without him I might still be at Joffrey's Mercy or worse but I know he is not popular in the veil he claimed his reward he married our mother he admits he's always loved her surely that is payment enough for the Knights of the veil but he says he's heading to the rivalin to help rebuild it isn't he no longer Lord Paramount why bother leaving his new lady wife to head to a domain he does not even control perhaps to Curry favor I'm not certain either but all I know is that I'm free because of him free are you sometimes the greatest cages are the ones you don't see and Lord Bish strikes me as the sort to weave them tightly I know he saved you but we must ask did he do it for you or himself meanwhile Rob's campaign in the South begins young Roy reinforces the black fish's Army in the riverlands the knights spread out to Halt a possible Tyrell incursion they make no secret of this advance having the knights riding from Village to village where they are greeted by cheers from the wary small folk especially yon Roy the advance of the veil and Northern forces is as much of display of strength as a campaign of Liberation Villages once ravaged by Raiders and Lannister forces erupt in cheers at the sight of their approach Peter Bish however is met with none of the same warmth yet this suits him perfectly he bypasses the p and ceremony traveling directly to riverrun where edmir Tully holds the castle leaving the glory of battle to Roy and Rob Stark to solidify yon Royce and Brendan Blackfish Tully assembled their forces on the outskirts of maidenpool where the Lannister aligned forces of Rand tarar thanks to their knowledge of the terrain the black fish manages to cut off the other passes in a series of lightning strikes keeping the other towns and castles held by the Lannisters cut off and unable to assist the Garrison of maidenpool while the veilment of attack from the walls they face Fierce resistance from the royalist host and a bloody battle ensues claiming the lives of many from all sides but knowing that relief is unlikely Randall tarley decides to slip out at night the victory is decisive and Roy wastes no time pushing further west small castles and Villages are each liberated one by one even heren Hall is swept up as Roy's Army seizes The Fortress with Little Resistance and all the mountains men are put to death me while Rob Stark landing South of the riverlands wages a gorilla campaign in the stormlands as anticipated the Lannisters have left the region lightly defended Rob capitalizes on this striking at supply lines ambushing patrols and targeting loyalist strongholds houses once sworn to the baratheons see Rob as their only hope of resisting the Lannisters as he is the last true Beacon of Lannister resistance a few small Royal armies go to confront Rob many of them weak and poorly LED as the capital is in chaos not just from the death of Taiwan but a new plague The Sparrows somehow through some mad plot Cersei manages to convince them that Marjorie is guilty of fornication but ends up being arrested herself with both Queens on trial the situation seems ripe for chaos which allow the rebel forces to thrive Rob manages to secure a foothold in the stormlands with his allies capturing storm Zen at its base but the one who thrives best in this chaos is Littlefinger who directs his attention to rebuilding the shattered riverlands Peter visits towns and Villages repairing burned out septs ruined farms and distributing food to the wary his efforts are carefully crafted to court both the small folk and the faith word of his work reaches the High Sparrow a new and high septum in King's Landing who grows increasingly critical of the Crown's extravagance Littlefinger sees this as an opportunity already he's managed to ensure that his hold on the riverlands and the veil grows while the Lords might initially cheer yon Roy as he rides through their Villages it is little finger they will remember who rebuilt their farms in the veil he made sure that when the armies marched out those Lords opposed to him were sent out men from redfort waynewood and Hunter are among those in Rob's armies while Yan Roy is leading his troops out west this leaves only the templetons corra and Belmore in the veil those who are theoretically opposed to little finger but who he can buy or befriend and so long as Lord Nester holds the bloody gate he can cut off the veil Army if necessary already the presence of Catlin Stark caring for Robert has put some Lords at ease ensuring his hold only grows this is so much so that he manages to arrange a meeting with the High Sparrow in an old sept at the border of the riverlands Lord palish you've made great efforts in rebuilding the seths and the rivlin a noble work though I wonder what does a man of your reputation seek from the faith you speak of loyalty yet you serve a pretender the boy who calls himself King in the north denies the rule of the iron throne and defies the Faith's Authority and yet it is not his mother being charged with incest and fornication the boy you speak of Rob Stark has brought peace to lands ravaged by the L Clause but you are correct the north is filled with heathens wildlings who bow to know God northmen who worship trees in old gods long forgotten this is a blight upon the faith one that must be remedied I can rrange for septums to accompany my trade ships spreading the faiths light as they go perhaps even a contingent of Faith militant to safeguard their mission do this and you will have my support but remember Lord Bish a man who serves only himself will find no solace in the seven your Works will be judged not by me but by the gods there is one more matter to consider I understand your misgivings about rob star and his faith however his sister is a follower of the faith trained by one of your are scepter and knowledgeable in all the passages Rob's string of victories in the stormland bolsters his position Mace Tyrell rallies an army of 20,000 men to March South though his waddling forces raid and Ambush the enemy forces along the woods they only slow them down Rob gathers his forces scraping up every Soldier he can find and looking for a good spot to Ambush them Scouts bring alarming news another Force has landed in Westeros the golden company was led by John connington their forces strike swiftly at the stormlands capturing castles along the coast without a direct land route this could leave Rob Stark stranded South realizing the danger Rob abandons plans for an immediate offensive against the tyrells and redirects his army South to Storm's end one of his remaining Holdings he just barely beats the golden company who soon begins besieging his forces in the meantime the cold air whips through Winterfell as Sansa takes a break from the meetings and petitioners all of them come with the same complaints about the faith of the seven and the faith militant Sansa knows the arrival of the faith has only stirred resentment they arrive from White Harbor and spread to all the camps and Villages across the land a sight to behold isn't it Faith marched into the north clad in steel and draped in righteousness hardly the warmest of welcomes I imagine what are you doing here Lord Bish I've come to see you you my lady I've been quite busy as you can imagine arranging for these good septums to make their way here a favor for the high septum and in turn for your brother though I hear their arrival has not been entirely welcomed no it hasn't the wildlings and many of the northern Lords feel their beliefs are under attack the fact that the faith comes armed only worsens the tension this is not a land that bows easily especially not to Southern Gods is all of this truly necessary for the veil no the vision has changed the potential of this situation is greater than anyone else can imagine things in the South move quickly soon this war will reach its Climax and why settle for the North and riverlands when all Seven Kingdoms can be yours how can that be squabbles grow and M Madness Reigns in King's Landing I do not ask you to endorse the faith merely play along when they arrive recite all the verses your scepter taught you and Nod along at their sermons when this is all over you may find yourself wearing a crown but as Littlefinger takes his leave Sansa goes to her brother John she warns him of his threat and tells him about what Littlefinger may do meanwhile Jon snow is already conducting his investigation that takes him to the Night's Watch despite weeks of Siege storm Zen remains defiant as the golden company hauls trebuchet rolls up Siege ladders and elephants try battering the gates Rob is in the front leading his men to fight off attackers he appears wherever he is needed with greywind by his side tearing at men and frightening horses though supplies are dwindling morale remains steady as they face attack after attack Rob does not remain idle say out men to launch Guerilla raids striking under the cover of Darkness all the while Mace Tyrell marches with a host outnumbering both forces but while Rob will still have his walls the golden company risks being caught under two forces as the sun sets a rider approaches the castle under a banner of truce Rob and his commanders meet in the Great Hall where John conington stands before them Lord Stark your defense of this Castle is admirable though misguided you fight a war you cannot win if you hold us here the reach's armies will arrive within days and you will be crushed between them and us not before your men watered the stones of this Castle Storm's end has stood against greater odds than this if you think this is the end of our Conquest you will be mistaken I have hes and the rivins in Veil I do not doubt your courage Stark but courage will not feed your men nor break this Siege you are king without allies eyes lay down your arms swear fty to Aon and I will grant you terms benefiting your station and what does your king have planed for the Seven Kingdoms to rule as was his Birthright he is the son of rhaegar targaryan rightful heir to the Iron Throne that right was lost to him when his grandfather began burning people M kin included your anger is understandable Jon hesitates realizing his strategy isn't getting to him taking a deep breath Jon decides to take a different approach perhaps the matter of kinship doesn't need to be settled now the situation is volatile and if we fight here then there is a chance both our causes might be lost perhaps we could come to an understanding later on once we have dealt with the Lannisters it seems like that is the one point we can agree on hi what do you have planned something incredibly bold or incredibly foolish the sun rises over Storm's end revealing the golden banners of the golden company it seems like the cell swords wiped out the Wolves for us if they mean to keep the castle for themselves let them try we'll have it back by the day's end bring up the ladders storm the walls let the usurpers know that the reach does not falter The Siege begins with brief bombardments from manganel that rain down stones on the stone walls The Defenders on the wall respond with a rain of arrows that cut down the nearest attackers dozens of reachmen try to rush forward bearing ladders Under Fire despite the losses they surge forward and bring the ladders crashing against Stone within minutes reach soldiers swarm toward the walls like ants hiding under their Shields Defenders rush to meet them a few ladders fall over While others have their Defenders cut down it slows their advance but does not halt it mace's confidence grows as the first of his soldiers Crest the wall but then a shadow moves within the melee Rob Stark bursts forward as he cuts through the reachmen like a whirlwind along the groups of the north and veilment greywind snarls and tears into the unprepared soldiers ripping throats and sending men screaming off the edge the battlements erupt into chaos as more Northerners emerge from hiding in the towers slamming into the Tyrell forces the wolves are still here what treachery is this before his commanders can answer a horn sounds from the tree line Beyond The Siege camps the sound is unmistakable a battle call deep and ominous Ma's blood runs cold as the forest seems to come alive from the woods golden company Warriors surge forward their disciplined lines tearing into the exposed rear of the reach army with mercenaries at their back and Northerners on the walls the Tyrell host is trapped Panic ripples through the reachmen as John connington himself rides out at the head of the golden company cutting down men as around him the Cavalry smashes headlong into the flanks MA's commanders shout orders to regroup but the field is already a Slaughter mace watches in horror as his proud Banners are trampled underfoot on the walls Rob fights with the fury of the north greywind at his side the combination of his swordsmanship and the direwolf's savagery carves a path through the Tyrell troops who scramble down to find more foes waiting for them the reach Army is breaking it's men fleeing in all directions the golden company pushes forward driving the route further Mace Tyrell now surrounded by a dwindling number of his bannermen finds himself cornered his horse rears its Hooves pawing at the air as mercenaries close in he shouts for his men to stand firm but his words fall on deaf ears conington himself rides up his sword leveled at mace Lord tyell your army is broken your men scattered like leaves in the Wind surrender now or die here in the mud very well I yield the battlefield Falls silent as Rob Stark descends from the walls bloodied but triumphant he strides through the wreckage towards conington who Dismounts to meet him well fought Stark you played your role to Perfection and you delivered the killing blow let's hope this Alliance holds until King's Landing greyn pads to Rob's side his muzzle red with blood Rob sends word for Yan Roy to advance further south now with the golden Company by their side they have the numbers to risk open battles and begin advancing Up The King's Road the heavy wooden doors of the Great Hall of Winterfell swing open with a grown revealing Peter Bish who hurries to meet with the northern leaders Jon Snow is there flanked by Sansa Stark and surprisingly catlyn Stark my lady wife I'm surprised to see you here only to hear your treason your efforts in the rivins are not why you're here reports have reached us Lord Bish the faith militant has been stirring unrest in the north clashing with wildlings and even some of our bananamen when I sent men to arrest them the men of the faith were allowed to come under your Authority my lady I assure you I merely allowed a few septums to preach the faith and their guards I indeed chartered their ships it was part of an agreement to secure the support of the High Sparrow a small price for the alliance we need to hold the riverin and hold the rivalin you hold no Authority here or in the north to make such decisions I acted in good faith to secure your family's position the riverlands in the veil even parts of the South all must be United if we are to reclaim the Seven Kingdoms surely you see the wisdom in this the north was never yours to barter you've sown unrest and people have died because of it you've overstepped what makes you think we have an interest in the rest of the kingdoms overstepped my dear boy all I've done is pave the way for a stronger claim these wildlings you've brought south of the wall they're the ones stirring trouble resisting the natural order the faith merely the faith came armed Bish armed and uninvited armed because you permitted it yes I confess I allow them here but there is no treason in allowing a few septums and their guards here if I overstep I shall gladly make commands but there is no treason in that I have only served your family is that so because I have someone who can say differently before Littlefinger can reply Janos slint steps forward flanked by two blackcloak members of the knight's watch Lord slint is this the man you spoke of he he came back to King's Landing tried to bribe me in Ned Stark's name but then whispered to me yes he did doubled if I turn against him said it was for the good of the realm yes he did the hall Falls silent the weight of the accusation hanging heavy in the air little finger practiced smirk falters momentarily before returning though weaker now this is madness a man's crimes are washed away when he joins the watch his crimes not yours you sold out my father and then turned against the Iron Throne that makes you twice as treasonous your actions led to the death of northmen and wildlings alike you made deals in our name behind our backs guards step forward seizing Littlefinger by the arms he doesn't struggle but looks towards Sansa with an almost pleading expression Sansa cat you know me everything I've done every step I've taken has been for you to protect you you did it all for yourself Peter Winterfell is not a piece on your board little finger's eyes flicker with panic for the first time as the guards drag him away his voice echoing through the hall you need me the game doesn't end here Sansa without me you'll never the doors slam shut behind him leaving the hall in heavy silence the next day the guards bring Littlefinger out where he is beheaded by the guards the only protest that they get from the veil Lords is that they weren't there to witness it themselves in the South King's Landing is ripe for plucking the few Defenders soldiers loyal to Cersei Lannister and scattering mercenaries offer sporadic resistance but are woefully outnumbered their only relief Randall tarle is kept occupied by the Blackfish and Yan Roy this leaves the isolated alone and outnumbered the walls cannot hold them back as men attack from different Gates and across the wall the only true challenge comes as the combined armies push deeper into the city itself the faith militants hastily organized militias and a few Defenders Rush at them picking off enemy soldiers and forcing them to fight for every step Rob Stark rides at the head of his Force greywind snarling at his side the sight of the direwolf is enough to scatter Defenders the golden company has something better though elephants these great beasts rush through the larger streets crushing Defenders underfoot or sweeping them aside with their trunks despite their fanatical resolve the poorly trained militants are no match for Rob's hardened Bannerman and aegon's Elite mercenaries those flattened by the elephants are the lucky ones as the rest are hacked apart the bells of the city begin to toll signaling surrender but in the heart of the faith militant No Quarter is given they refuse used to yield barricading themselves in the sept of Balor but this Defiance is shortlived as they bring forward an elephant that batters down the gates the floors run red with blood the air heavy with the scent of incense and death grey wind leaps into the high Sparrow's chamber crushing the man's throat and his powerful jaws as John connington finishes the High Sparrow himself with the city taken Cersei is captured and executed though her new Champion Robert strong kills many warriors before he's crushed under an elephant the two kings begin a long negotiation process that ends with Rob being allowed to remain King in the north but acting as a client kingdom whose foreign policy is decided by aegon meanwhile the rest of the Seven Kingdoms quickly yield to aon's rule after seeing the power of His armies the remaining sparrows are forced to either yield or die across the Seven Kingdoms as Aon Outlaws them again here the northmen lead the charge rounding them up and sending them back to where they came within a lively Inn in wintertown an elderly looking singer strums his loot as all around him men from all corners of the north gather to hear once man Raider finds the sound he likes he begins to sing he starts with the wolf Brothers the song of how a great white wolf could not bear to be separated from his brother and joined him in terrorizing the Western Lions until the weasel tried to turn the young wolf against his brother with lies of treason rather than let his name be tarnished he took up arms cutting down his brother's enemies the Mad Raiders who dared to invade his lands and the wild men of the North after the tale finished he turned to another Tale one of stars and the trickster as the young wolf accepted the surrender of his foes a little man a vile trickster arrived promising armies for the wolf's mother yet what this trickster truly wanted was his kingdom he convinced the young wolf to hunt South with his men in the lands of storms to finish off the wounded l but while he hunted the little trickster began to conquer the north turned the young Wolf's sister against them and promised the North to the stars above so enamored with the Stars with this promise that they fell upon the north forcing their ways upon its people finally he plays the sapphire dragon as the young wolf hunted riding through the storms Huntsmen and knights from the reach came to try and slay the young wolf but their War had awoken something greater a young dragon with brilliant Sapphire scales rather than fight the young wolf they joined forces and slew the Huntsman took the Lion's Den and drove the stars back where they belonged the northmen and wildlings all cheered clapping their hands and banging their cups it is not difficult to feel a sense of comfort south of the wall for the first time in years it seems that peace has finally Fallen onto the realm with Aon the 6th now sitting on the Iron Throne it seems like there is now a true King of the Seven Kingdoms with the help of Rob he can secure the alliances of the veil Dorne and the stormlands while the North and riverlands remain loyal even the westerlands and reach have no choice but to surrender this leaves the iron islands and their mad ruler uron Greyjoy to contend with he raids the Western coasts leaving them unable to fully recover but with the crown lacking much Naval strength they cannot challenge ironborn forcing the Lannisters red wines and high Towers to do most of the fighting meanwhile remnants of the faith militant persist traveling to Villages and hold fasts to rile against the murderous Aon Targaryen though the North and the golden company have worked to eradicate them hundreds still prowl now with little more than Bandits and Rebels they claim yon's invasion is divine punishment for the Unholy King and urge the people to rise against him among the crowds who listen to these sparrows one figure listens to the sermon gauging their reactions sir beist and seli pulls his hood up and begins to depart as one of the only men with experience in Westeros and daenerys's Court he was sent ahead to determine the mood of the Seven Kingdoms and whether they were ripe for Invasion he begins to leave but notices one figure looking at him to his surprise he recognizes the figure even with his drastic change his hair once spun like gold is now pale his face is sunken and Haggard his rich clothes were traded for simple Brown robes lanc Lannister the young Knight invites sir barriston to talk over a fire the two chat and discuss their new lot in life with Lancel now a formal member of the faith militant he continues to preach against Aon I 6th claiming a king has no right to dictate the will of the faith here sir barriston makes an offer to join forces with Daenerys who might be more amenable to taking concessions with the faith especially if they help her take the Iron Throne Lancel is intrigued but sir barriston tells him to travel West where the small folk might be more willing to join them a few weeks later on a dark and quiet night a small Fleet Glides across the narrow sea their Flags bearing the threee headed dragon of House Targaryen yet the Garrison was not informed of any oncoming ships they begin to mobilize just as the fleet anchors offshore The Defenders rais the alarm Gathering their weapons just as the men Rush forward a mix of freemen cell swords and a Detachment of unsullied The Garrison fights bravely but they are small and ill-prepared without Naval support they have no hope for resupply soon the scaling ladders are placed on the walls and a ram batters the gate though the Garrison kills five men for every that falls it isn't enough to Halt their advance and by morning Daenerys holds Dragon Stone when the news breaks in the capital aegon calls for an immediate response however they do not have a large Fleet as the Royal Fleet is too small to challenge them it will take time for them to properly launch a Counterattack but in the meantime all eyes will be on Dragon Stone but this is exactly what Daenerys wishes meanwhile in the reach the red wine Fleet is hard pressed against the ironborn who have seized large swads of the coastline the red wines fight valiantly retaking ground inch by inch but the ironborn are Fierce and their long ships Dart in and out of hiding spots in shallow rivers to strike like wolves harrying their prey during one such battle the ironborn sail out one of their captured ports nearly 50 long ships to the redwin 30 it would be a hard battle but Lord paxter Contin sailing ahead that is until one of his officers reports Black Sails from behind he turns and freezes seeing the iron Fleet behind them on their upgraded long ships they are over 40 ships and for a moment he fears that he's being outflanked but through the forests of masts another shape flies down a trio of dragons Panic spreads like wildfire through their ranks as the beasts descend Flames licking the heavens surprisingly the dragons unleash their fury on euron's Fleet fire Reigns down upon the lead long ship which is reduced to smoldering wreckage the redwind fleet halts its Advance stunned as the dragons scatter the once Mighty ironborn Fleet the iron Fleet surrounds the surviving ships capturing them but the lead ship iron Victory demands an audience with paxter redwin the crafty old Warrior explains how he's allied with Daenerys Stormborn and intends to begin his invasion he demands the Loyalty of the reach although Mace Tyrell eventually bent the knee to aegon v 6 many lords were still bitter after their defeats at the hands of the golden company their failures to deal with the ironborn have only further embittered them many eagerly pledged themselves to Daenerys the captured territories of the ironborn Begin to Fall like dominoes now that an experienced and disciplined Force along with the iron Fleet is brought to the field they are driven out of the reach entirely but even better news arrives when the westerlands hear this their Lords eagerly pledge their Banners To Daenerys under the command of Kevin Lannister who sees their success and the weaknesses of the crown a big part of this is thanks to Lancel who had ridden ahead and preached the arrival of Daenerys wreathed in Fire and Blood the destruction of the ironborn invasion is a sign enough for the faithful who rise in support soon bands of Faith militants spring up all across the Seven Kingdoms growing to the thousands aegon v 6 sends out John connington with the golden company down south to attack the re meanwhile aegon gathers soldiers from the crownlands and the veil to advance into the westerlands he also sends word to the north the one region not affected by the faith militant Uprising Rob soon begins Gathering his army nearly 15,000 men consisting of northmen wildlings and even Giants their first true clashes happen in the far south where Jon stifen by the storm lenders and dornish rush to relieve Brightwater keep which belongs to Garland Tyrell however outside they find a host of reachmen mixed with unsullied cells swords and freed men a small Force remains to keep the pressure up on the cital but the rest turned to face the new threat the unsullied anchored the center while fredman and cells swords take the Left Flank and a host of reachmen led by alen Florent who has promised his seat of Brightwater if he fights against the tyrells the golden company forms up in the center with stormlands under the command of Roland storm taking position on the right John decides to place the dornishman on the Left To Face Off against their hated reachman foes this proves instrumental as they eagerly battle through the reachmen driving them back while the other two units struggle to make Headway against the disciplined ranks of the unsullied or the Ferocious cell swords and pit fighters although a crown Victory it is indecisive the rest of their battle proves equally inconclusive as the unul Do Not Break Meanwhile aon's campaign is also struggling as the faith militant wages a successful Guerilla campaign against them led by Lancel Lannister the remnants of the militant Ambush and strike the royalist host using the rivers to sail up and attack however aegon destroys many Outlaw in bands but under the Council of his advisers he pardons the survivors who wisely Retreat to their Villages soon hundreds begin to slip away from the Faith's Army rather than fight a war however it buys the Westerman time to mobilize as Kevin gathers 10,000 men who are joined by daenerys's fredman and unsullied by the time the cross the golden tooth they are organized and well equipped putting up a difficult fight in the upcoming skirmishes however aon's forces prove equally ferocious and the veil Knights scatter the fredman in a series of charges while the crown Landers and loyal rivermen close in but the Lannister forces hold form until Daenerys Targaryen arride drogon launches a devastating Counterattack Her Dragons Reign fire on vulnerable rear guard as her unsullied freed men sweep into the panicked Center remnants of his Army in mere hours aon's forces are scattered to the winds leaving him stranded with a battered core of loyal soldiers lanel rallies the remnants of the faith militant and blocks his Escape Route to King's Landing while Kevin Westerman presses in on him the only relief comes from the north Rob Stark crosses the neck with his army his Advanced guard bolstered by Giants armed with massive clubs and crewed Bows reeks Havoc crushing daenerys's fredman and opening a path for aegon to slip away Rob orders the riverlords to return home and simply harass the main forces as he remains in MO Kalin where sir barriston seli tries to present terms Your Grace daera Stormborn is not her father nor her brother your ancestors served house tarian with honor and she remembers their loyalty there is no need for war between you no need for war you say I we were loyal and how was that loyalty rewarded that was before my grandfather was burned alive while you stood there and watched s barriston just as you sat and watched as my father was betrayed remind your dragon queen that no Army has ever crossed the neck without permission Daenerys undeterred turns her sights on the neck determined to press northward her Army advances slowly through the swampy terrain however now it is their turn to face the brutal Guerilla War as The Chronic men harass their every step aided by wildling Raiders they strike at every opportunity and even the disciplined unsullied can't stand against this type of fighting reluctantly Daenerys pulls back and uses her dragons instead burning through the swampy lands to clear a path for them from the Shadows Giants emerge armed with bows large enough to rival The Siege weapons of the South they fire at the low-flying dragons their arrows massive and deadly one strikes viserion's flank forcing the dragon to scream and Veer off blood pouring from the wound another grazes Regal who retreats to the SK eyes even drogon mighty and fearsome takes a hit to his wing grounding him briefly before Daenerys orders The Retreat true to Rob's word no Army can cross the neck dragons are not the momentary reprieve allows Rob's forces to Counterattack emerging from the hidden Paths of the neck his men charge with the fury of wolves driving daenerys's disoriented Army back the freed men struggling in the swampy terrain falter as the Giants tear through their lines and the Harden northmen press their advantage the Frozen winds howl through the Towering ice wall as Scouts rush into Castle black stammering accounts of an army of death marching on the wall the horn sounds once twice then a dreaded third time the others are here the Defenders scramble into position archers lining the wall and the gate sealed tight the first wave of whites slam into the wall their dead hands clung at the ice as the knights watch rain fire and arrows upon them yet for every white that falls two more seem to take its place and they begin to climb the wall but something feels different they seem driven to the point of Madness by something word of the attack spread swiftly across the north reaching Rob Stark's Camp although aegon wishes to continue the offensive and finish Daenerys off Rob reminds him that a king must serve his people and will not abandon the north Rob calls for several prisoners taken in the recent campaign including Brown pen plum and Sir barriston SEL me at first neither can believe what they are saying but Rob gives them a harsh look you claim you knew my father Lord barriston then you know he could not lie for his life and neither can I if you think this is a mercy then you are mistaken but the white walkers around you'd be safeer rotting in that cell what I ask of you is difficult make no mistake tell your queen what I've told you and make her listen as they approached the wall they are relieved to see it still holding but the white walkers are Relentless they attack day and night their whites climbing the walls and dragging Rangers down while they batter the gates relentlessly the reinforcements help stabilize the front and provide much needed relief but their numbers seem endless most of this force is concentrated around the center with Castle black and the castles in that area but in the shadow Tower the men see a small ship approaching with Black Sails at first they think it is reinforcements but as a docks they are greeted by The ironborn Who Rush forward with axes and swords in hand the outnumbered Garrison struggles to Halt their advance and soon their block stains the ancient black stones of the keep there uron brings forth his Warlords and Priests each one begins to chant in their foreign tongues as the blood of the Dead Knights watch feed into their magic here the magic of the wall begins to weaken while the gates are thrown open from the Mist a single figure emerges wearing icy armor with glowing blue eyes the night King raises his hands and the Dead begin to rise once more the dead Rangers and all those across the bridge of skulls they surge through the opening and pour into the Seven Kingdoms for the first time in 7,000 years yon watches all of this and laughs at last The Final Storm the first victim are daenerys's reinforcements as they March up the wall whites and others burst through the Mist brandishing their weapons unsullied and freed men are quickly cut down sending the lines into chaos for a moment they are thrown into disarray but Kevin and S barriston slowly rally them his footmen from a defensive Square locking Shields and allowing the others to Rally behind them in the sky the dragons unleash Flames spying them some time soon the unsullied stiffen the defensive square but the only thing that stops them from being over whelmed are the dragons which prevent them from massing their full force the next few hours are horrific as they are left surrounded at the white Walker's Mercy however their salvation comes with Jon who leads a cavalry charge to their position their heavy horses and Giants Drive the whites back and open up a gap for them to retreat to last Heth uron however is not finished he emerges from the Shadows of the battle his laughter echoing across the Carnage and chases after them Jon sends word to Rob asking him to pull back and take the whites at the rear already John conington is coming from the south to reinforce them too this is only a matter of holding out until they arrive the storm over last Hearth rages like a vengeful God snow whipping through the air as the whites inhumane screeches echo through the night Jon Snow stands at the battlements alongside Daenerys their forces safe but only for a moment great John umber Bellows commands rallying his men daenerys's dragons Circle above riging fire on the undead horde they managed to hold out for several days keeping the Restless Dead at Bay with a combination of dragon fire and careful sorer but it is far from bloodless as their army is at the Breaking Point with the walls starting to break down Jon drives back the undead who scale the wall his sword flashing as they try to find a foothold below the KN King looks at the rear surveying his army but at the front is euron Greyjoy hold the walls as long as you like snow I'll be claiming your queen Before Dawn true to his word several scaling ladders are dropped letting him clear the wall but by Jon's side is Sir barriston who holds his long sword ready whites swarm across the walls their claws flashing and ripping through flesh as they begin their attack pressing the Defenders to their Breaking Point great John leaps into the thick of the fighting standing back to back with greyworm as they drive the dead back back Jon hacks down at the dead while Daenerys flies overhead to stem the tide but as she flies low a host of risen Giants fire their bows striking drogon against the side and forcing him to land uron sees his chance and rushes up one of the ladders he begins cutting down Defenders with Unholy ferocity his Jagged blade cleaving through the line of Defenders saris in seli steps forward his sword gleaming in the faint Fire Light laughing uron swings his Jagged ax at him their Clash is brutal euron's raw chaotic strength against baris's disciplined skill
