with the many changes happening in the north, many lords who were not a part of initial plans now anted to get a part of the norths prosperity while the wealth of the north is astounding in present it is not enough for me, so when letters of help from many more lords came. I decided to host them at Winterfell and discuss letters of that invitation were sent 2 weeks ago and most of them had arrived by yesterday as such, we will hold our meeting today, for which I am making my way to my father's solars which is bigger than before and more decorated as well, the lords in attendance were lord umber and lord cerwyn and lord flint of the flints fingers along with lord glover of of deepwood motte. i had alresdy ordereed surveys of theie lands and they alos have substantial rresources in thier lands its amazing how many natural treasure troves are thier north and they went unnoticed for 8000 years. during the meetings i explained what all resouces are founf in thier respective lands, in last hearth in the umber lands there is marble loads of it they can mine it, the starks will send the miners needed and they can sell them to the lords in the north or to the lords in the south and even as far as esssos. with trade from reach and essos we have have had a steady acces of cotton, castle cerwyn can set up looms to make clothes for the entire north and also wool from sheeps which are aboundant in the lands aound winterfell and more southern parts of the north, if they do so then the starks will be the first to order uniforms for the many stark soldiers and many other soldiers of the norhten army as well. lord flint has lands adjacent to the sea he can set up salt mills. the plans for the factories will be sent to them by senku along with that, thier lands are suitable for growing potatoes which can be used to make vodka which most certainly will be a great hit in the north. the biggest catch though was deepwood motte that place has the most valuable thing after diamonds in the north and that is, platinum when told about it lord glover was so elated he boombed with laughter i told him that mining will take some time now, as there is no labour at the moment they are spread allover the north, he quickly agreed to it. all the lords were happy with the outcome and went back in jolly moods
it has been three months since our last meeting with the lords and good changes happend in the respective lands of the north. as we had discussed all the northen soldiers are now weraring their uniforms which are clad in black with silver armor and helmet much the soldiers in lord of the rings movies. the cerwyns did an exceptional jobs deepwood motte also has more people now than before and so does last hearth the news about new mining prospects spread like wildfire which once again brought new people in the land from the south, most of them are of them are from the capital. apparently while the population in the capital in was not more than 500000 in the show and the books it is a lot more in here atleast 1 million when the mad kings reigns ended many people who lost their lands flocked to the capital investing last of thier funds to travlel their after hearing humour that the mad king burneed the capital and tywin lannister butchured people in their which certainly will make new space for people, ahich sadly did not happen but it has returned to 600000 because 400000 migrated to the north and other places in westeros. the influx people allwed us to make the border patrol it is a group of 10000 cavalry soldiers under the control of the starks its job is to march all over the north and destroy bandits which were on the rise recently . the cannal we started 2 years ago also came to fruition which boomed travel as wood is being transorted from all over the north to certain ports to make boats for trading, a new merchant company is overseeing the operation of the boats ,this company is called the morgan company they will also oversee paper production in the north and are in coalition with the starks which is confidential information animal husbandry is also growing at marvelous rates in the north. the winter town is also growing rapidly it is already at 150000 people right now we are making plans to make city proper and clean and not like kings landing for this we have also started recruitment for new stark soldiers we intend to raise the numbers to 30000 and the northern armies as well. towns are quicly becoming cities in the north and we require to make them properly maintained no matter what some of those towns and their total numbers are
wintertown: 150000
white harbor: 300000
barrowtown: 50000
seadragon point: 20000
boltown: 15000
castle cerwyn: 5000
torhens square: 20000
training square: 45000
karhold: 20000
last heart: 10000
mountain clans: 20000
lyannas mound( at the diamond mines ): 30000
grand total: 680000
to accomodate these may people without the problem of bad hygiene and proper housing required massive projects which were undertaken. first was to set up up villages by the canal to use our vast lands efficiently and relocate people properly who dont have talenst required in the cities they can farm. we also ordered a long network of proper roads to make travel easy which agve rise to transportation companies they make carriages and lent them to travel, we afre hoping this will give rise to good hotels. we also made infromation about the glass and diamond and marble public to bring in more funds. this caused havocaround weteros as now the people are going are mad beacuse they are unhappy with our wealth, even a lot of spies eneted the north to get information but they were swiftly dealt with. our largest problem was the influx of people in the north which had an exisitng population of no more than 2 million which is now 5 million and less than half of those numbers make cities and towns which means more can come to the towns as well, also we are preparong to fight againt the night king so all walls and the houses, will be need to be strong and high and properly palnned all of this may take years, i just hope we will be able to get them done in time
leaving the matters of the north even the south is even turmoil while i was engrossed with the north i left the south out which also went through many changes of its own for example the lannisters started trade with the essosi as well through pearls some way or the other they managed to make pearls which has greatly risen their financial strength, while their gold may run out soon this will have the potential to maintain their wealth they also ordered marble from the umbers and glass from us to maintain their prestige as the wealthiest house but who knows their spending is astounding and they are also lending to the crown,
the tyrells as well started a buisness with the tullys to grow rice in thier lands and they will divide the profits 60/40 must be olennas scheme. the crownlands also started to maintaina small standing army a few miles from kings landing its no more than 5000 soldiers but those numbers may gradually rise, randall tarly seems to be doing his job properly, as the master of war
the martells though were the biggest surprise they managed to free many slaves from essoso slavery ships and claim them in the name of the seven, which shut most of the people in westeros freed th slaves made them into an army and conquered stepstones and claimed in the name of the king, considering the bad relationship between the crown and dorne john arryn managed to convice the king to grant those lands to oberyn martell who is now a lord paramount and the warden of the narrow seas, this was a plan in making for a long time ever since before the death of the mad king. this will allow them to trade with the 3 sisters arund the disputed lands
the millitary strenghts of the kingdoms of westeros are larger than in the shows which can be a problem for me i may need to rise my numbers aswell for example the lannisters feild an army of 60000 standing men when leveis are added these numbers will rise to 80000. the reach can feild 100000 men in war, the tullys cannot bring more than 30000 the vale though can bring 45000, the martells could not feild more than 30000, but now can set up 50000 soldiers when needed for war

i could not imagine that north was capable of such riched their power and strenght can rise too much like this i dont want that, my husbands crown lingers too much on the stark tully arryn alliance with the starks growing strenght that can harm my children,their wealth is also growing too much it wont be long bbefore robert starts to take loans from the starks then my father ned stark will never oppose, and to think they could mke glass and mine diamomds even marble. i dont like this i want know how to make glass i dont want to buy from those savages at all. to think they can rout out spies as well none of the ones i sent managed to bring me anothing usefull and those martells their audacity to do that they are grwoing in power in strenght much like the starks, they are a threat but my foolish husband wont understand a damn thing, and that torhen stark damn the gods for having him born ever since he was born problems have been coming for me what should i do
john arryn
as expected of the north and neds son he truly is a genius to not only grow plants to make medicines but glass aswell the and make a standing amy as well some 50000 the last raven told me, thier new found wealth as helped as alot with the taxes to send a million gold coins annulay most certainly has helpedd a lot but the debt does not stop at all most of these money is going the army lord tarlly is making and the rest to pay our debts to the iron bank and to start buisness but it is not helping at all the realm is 3 million in debt now the money sent most certainly would have helped but those wretched septons asking for the money to make septs, and to be used on prince joffery's nameday celebration and tourneys we also had to sent reparations to mercenaries to helped during thr greajoy rebellion and to rebuilt the royal navy, peter is doing his most but the king wont stop no matter what.

i dont like this at all the little wolf is killing my birds or making them their own i have lost a quite a few of them no good information is coming from the starks no matter what, or even from the north. i dont like to be kept in the dark about this we wanted to roberts rule to be shitty so that we can bring the dragons back but now with starks and lannisters making money, that seems difficult, way too difficult
tywin lannister casterly rock
this not good the north is making too many things different and making money as a whole what must i do. the north is larger much more larger than the westerlands, we have our mines but even gold has limits. the northeners are loyal to the starks much more loyal than any other kingdom even my spies cannot do too much i though that the faith of the seven and the old gods will create tension between the small folk there but some how magically most of the small folk seems to be turning towards the old gods. that is understood though the seven need so much to give a survivable lives, in the north they have homes and jobs and no extortion form the gods that must be good but now may be a bethrohal of myrcella to one of the stark boys mat do but for now lets send an assassin in see the total strenght of the starks if they can survive that is
