Tyrion II

He sat in his chambers knowing he had no choice to accept these demands that lay in front of him. It had all come crashing down on him 6 days ago first with news of the slaughter at Oxcross, then the Golden Tooth had fallen, 2 days later more ravens arrived with news saying the gold mines at Nuun's Deep, Castermere and in the Pendric Hills had been taken, along with raids along the coastal villages and the castles at Ashemark and the Crag had been captured. Then only one day later news came that Crakehall had fallen from an assault led by Ser Garlan Tyrell. Enemy forces were still sieging Deep Den. The enemy fleet had been blockading Lannisport for the last week but had not attacked like he hoped he would, which meant his large chain plan was useless he had hoped to trap half of their fleet in the harbour confused while his fleet destroyed it but with the Arbor fleet remaining outside of the harbour , he had yet to win a victory.

Then he had received these demands and laughed as his father was still alive but now just an hour ago he had received a raven from Lord Eddard Stark with new of the Battle of Acorn Hall, he had not much choice now. All his close family had either been killed or captured, no news had arrived from Ser Emmon Frey, for all he knew Ser Emmon didn't even make it to Essos or has decided to forego the Lannister cause knowing it was all over. Anyway a sellsword company would hardly be much use now, sellsowrd companies don't fight lost causes.

The letter from King Renly with his conditions of the Lannister Surrender read as such:

To the Castellan or Lord of Casterly Rock

I King Renly First of his Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms,Protector of the Realm

Offers you unconditional surrender to the current Commander of the Westerlands. You have fought bravery but all is lost. Surrender now and save Lives.

To Tyrion Lannister

You have 2 options, furhur evidence has come to light freeing you of all charges of attempted murder of Bran Stark, therefore I offer you the seat of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West which is rightfully yousr, only if you swear fealty to me.

Or if you wish you can go into exile on Essos and allow Ser Kevan to become Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West.

Furthermore the new Lord of Casterly Rock will forego all loans owed by the Crown and will pay the Crown's debts to Iron Bank as well as paying reparations, an amount to be decidedd to the Riverlands for lands ravaged.

The Westerlands will also lose the Lands of Crakehall to the Reach, The Golden Tooth, Castermere and Tarbeck hall will all be given to lords of my choosing but will remain in the constituencies of the Westerlands.

Along with Tommen and Mycella Waters being held as wards Martyn and Wilem Lannister will also be kept as wards until you have trueborn children yourself in which the second child when you have one will be taken as a ward instead. If not applicable another Lannister child will be chosen.

When you accept these terms, I want a raven sent to Kings landing, all your armies must return home and you and your lords must report to Kings landing to swear fealty to me.

Your Sincerely King Renly.

Tyrion knew he had no choice but to accept the offer, sure he was safe in Casterly Rock, their enemies wouldn't risk a siege with winter coming, but after winter they would be back to where they started and soon enough Tyrion would find his head on a spike and he rather liked his head attached to his body.

And to be honest he was being offered what he always wanted Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West, the conditions were costly but it could have been worse they still had their Gold Mines at least.

He wrote the letter first to King Renly then to all his Lords informing them of the surrender and to lay down arms. It was over.
