LORDS OF THE NORTH

HOUSE CERWYN

Half a day's ride from Winterfell is Castle Cerwyn. The Cerwyns are extremely loyal to House Stark. Their words are Honed and Ready. Their sigil is a black handle silver ax on a grey field. Lord Medger Cerwyn is the current Ruler of House Cerwyn, his wife Lady Lyan Cerwyn, His brother Eddard Cerwyn left at Cerwyn Castle to run things, his son Clay Cerwyn and their daughter Jonelle.

After greetings at the gate and getting settled Lord Medger meets in private with his Liege Lord. "With all due respect My Lord I do not like this. Your son is of the North and the heir of Winterfell should marry a Lady of North. We already lost you to Riverrun."

"Be careful Lord Cerwyn!"

"Ain't no disrespect My Lord to speak the truth."

"Should I break my son's heart my Lord. A man cannot help whom he falls in love with."

"There be truth in that. My damn daughter wants to marry My Blacksmith."

"Is he a good lad?"

"Aye…"

"Then what be the problem?"

"He is low born!"

"I will not tell you what to do My Lord, but I rather my daughter be married to a Blacksmith happy than some noble prick who'll mistreat her."

He shakes his head, "Could I talk you into having the lad Knighted by Ser Rodrick if I send for him?"

"Aye."

HOUSE TALLHART

Three green trees on a brown field is the sigil of House Tallhart, the Lords of Torrhen's Square. Their words, Proud and Free.

They are greeted by the Starks and Lord Cerwyn. Then they are settled in.

HOUSES BOLTON, DUSTIN, FORRESTER, GLOVER, MANDERLY, AND WHITEHILL

Houses Bolton, Dustin, Forrester, Glover, Manderly, and Whitehill are about equal distances from Winterfell and all arrive at the same time. House Bolton is ruled by Roose Bolton the Lord of the Dreadfort. Their words, Our Blades are Sharp; their sigil is that of a flayed man on two crossing beams in an X. The Boltons were once rivals for the North against the Starks, but eventually Roose Bolton's ancestor bent the knee to a Stark King.

House Dustin is ruled by Willem Dustin Lord of Barrowtown. He arrives with his wife Lady Barbery Dustin. The two were recently married and have no children yet. The Forresters of Ironrath are vassals of the Glovers. Lord Gregor Forrester arrives with his wife Elissa and younger children Ethan, Talia, and Ryon. His eldest son remains at Ironrath with his wife's brother Malcolm Branfeild. House Glover is represented by Lord Galbart Glover, he comes alone.

House Manderly rules White Harbor and is the richest and most powerful family in the North. Ser Wyndel Manderly the heir of New Castle and future Lord of White Harbor, comes with his betrothed Lady Mira Forrester and his sister Lady Winnafred Manderly. His father was unable to make the trip. Each and every Lord is greeted by the Stark family and Lords already present when they arrive.

Aegon, Margaery, and Dany stay in their rooms until the proper time. The rest of the Houses are Whitehill vassals to the Boltons, Umber, Reed, Mormont, Poole, Mazin, Mallin, Ryswell, Hornwood, Karstark, Marsh, Cassel, and Glenmore. Talisa's parents show up with the Manderlys for the wedding. "The North Remembers!" Eddard Stark says as a toast in the main hall.

"The North Remembers!" The Lords and Ladies repeat.

"My good friends…I welcome you all to my home for the wedding of my eldest son and heir…to a beautiful young woman. Lady Talisa of Volantis…I welcome her father Lord Maro Maegyr and his lovely wife Lady Avalene Maegyr…Their son Arro Maegyr…It gives me great pride to see my son bring such fine people into our family. Now for some more news…My son's wedding is not the only reason you have been asked here…

All of you know that I bought home a bastard from the war…Jon Snow I named him…But his mother Lyanna gave him another name…Aegon Targaryen…My sister was not kidnapped or raped by Rhaegar. The two of them fell in love and she became his second wife…"

That is when Aegon, Margaery, and Daenarys enter the hall dressed in black and red. The hall breaks into small conversations and the Maegyr's whisper to each other. "I ask you all to honor your oaths to me and House Stark and support my nephew's claim for the Iron Throne."

Maege Mormont the current ruler of House Mormont and Bear Island stands up. Their words here we stand, their sigil is that of a black bear on white field with green escutcheon. "My Lords and Ladies…I knew Lyanna Stark growing up…She was my dearest friend…And anyone who knew her knew that she loved fiercely her family and those she called friend. The Wild Wolf they called her. I for one never believed Rhaegar kidnapped or raped her. Had he, he would have lost his cock…" Everyone in the hall laughs and Lady Catelyn shakes her head disapprovingly.

"And I say that I see her son standing before us now! His blood is of the North. The King from the North and House Mormont will give its support to House Stark and the White Dragon from the North."

Jon Umber stands up, "The North Remembers! I remember how the Targaryens killed poor Rickard Stark and his son Brandon Stark."

"Lord Umber!" Eddard says interrupting, "My father and son died on the orders of the Mad King…I hold no grudge or quarrel with the other Targaryens…I am proud of Lyanna's son and the man…The King he will become."

AEGON

"My Lords…" Aegon says speaking up, "I will not ask any man or woman to do anything they are not comfortable with…I ask my Uncle that any Lord or Lady who does not wish to support me, be allowed to do so…without fear of reprisal…" He points his hand at the torch on the wall and the fire leaps off the torch and dances around his hand.

"If I must I will bring Fire and Blood to take the Iron Throne. I do not wish that and I believe the Iron Throne can be taken without it or minimal use." He extinguishes the fire.

Howland Reed stands up and tells them of the Prince that was Promised, then Aegon takes them to the godswood. When they arrive the Dragons Rhodan and Wendar are landing.

QUENTYN

He had tried everything to win Daenarys over, but he started getting the feeling that she was not interested. He was going to confront her about it then he met Lady Dacey Mormont with her long dark hair and curvy tall figure. Drawn to her he walked up to her after they eyed each other from the across the hall and asked to sit with her.

"I see you have hit it off with Lady Dacey."

"Well I had no chance with you did I?"

"My future is in the East. I am here to help my nephew win the Iron Throne."

"I will do all in my power to convince my father to aid him."

"Thank you." Quentyn was going to leave before the wedding, but decided to stay.

ARYA

Arya plays host to the children her age and younger, they get into all kinds of mischief with Lyanna Mormont vying for leadership against with Arya. The two young ladies actually like one another and become quick friends. The children are mostly intrigued by the Dire Wolves owned by the Starks. The wolves are Lyra the mother and Eddard's wolf, Grey Wind Robb's wolf, Lady Sansa's wolf, Nymeria Arya's wolf, Summer, Bran's wolf, Shaggy Dog Rickon's wolf and Ghost who had become Aegon's wolf.
