winterfell 294AC

it has been 3 years since we laid the plans for the massive undertaking and development in the north and I am happy to share they have been successful, buts lets talk about that later my family comes first, now Arya and Hadrian are both 5 years old now and have manifested their geass as well arya's geass is that of orpheon Zevon his geass allowed him to take the form, voice, habits, of anyone he wants much like the faceless men but with less rigorous training, perfect for Arya I think but it will only stay there for some time not any more than 30 seconds right now that may gradually rise with practice. it was Hadrians geass which was peculiar, unlike all of us his geass did not affect anyone in particular but just himself. he has the geass to live, it gives him an absolute urge to survive and do everything he can to achieve that it was similar to the one suzaku had but that was an order and this is a power. I guess it is understood among all us brothers Hadrian lusts for battle the most. he is already learning martial arts and wrestling along with archery. such power will come in handy. the best archer among us is Sansa though, keeping her away from the spetons and more inclined to the old gods, and changing her fairy tales to old history lessons filled with stories of deceit and treason for power has given her some form of maturity. when it comes to martial strength she handles a bow are like an expert archer she is also learning swordsmanship, she wanted to learn the water dance of bravos but she too tall for that so I objected, I mean not now but she will in the future. all of us siblings like to ride horses as well, we ride them a lot, though for Sansa it is ponies considering she is 7 me Robb and john though ride proper horses now considering we have got a bit tall and entered puberty already. I was not expecting that, not until I was 13 maybe, rather than hitting puberty at11 but I think that has to do with this medieval world.

we often ride behind Winterfell up to to the military camp, there is new growing gods wood there for the soldiers. the winter town has also grown after reaching numbers of 250000 people they are guarded by 25000 stark soldiers and some 6000 city watch. the winter town now is divided into districts it has residential areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, and entertainment areas aswell they include houses and hotels pubs bars shops restaurants public gardens made on an artificial hill courtesy of dryad's magic. there are even theaters to watch plays and many companies like the morgan company which has risen a lot ever since its founding. the winter town even has a newspaper now though it comes out only once a week because you know medieval world not much news. we even have a school for children and several orphanages .one of the larger constructions are the colosseum we are making it on the western edge of winter town once it is completed next year, we will host the northern games. it will be like the Olympics. a new town sprouted up at lyanna's mound where the diamond mines are located the canal has a stop there its population is like some 20000 I think mostly made of miners.

north in its entirety has changed due to the roads and the canal the many towns have become cities many cities have become towns. boltown has become larger, torhens square as well as castle cerwyn has also grown theyhave many inns there for all the many traders who come to the north. the entire population of the north is 6 million people which has allowed us to make large armies the proportions are better than before. one sad thing though was the death of lady Dustin she passed away of a heart attack at night. as soon as that happened lord ryswell made a claim to the lands of the of Dustin's for lady Dustin was his daughter and the bolton's supported it but it did not work out because lady Dustin had no heirs, her late husband Lord William Dustin died at the tower of joy hence her ownership of the lands was an apology by the starks for not being able to save her husband. after her, these lands were meant to be given to the lord William's brother who had joined the night's watch and thus gave up his right of succession as such these lands will fall to the starks. despite the ryswell and the boltons being unhappy many lords supported this decision most of them are staunch supporters of the starks. like the umbers forreste Glenmore karstark mormont manderly etc, I plan on giving these lands to Robb in the future, thus this added the 6000 Dustin soldiers to our forces. the total military strength in the north now goes as

the northern army: 30000 infantry,20000 cavalry

the northern navy: 200 ships ( 30000 mariners )

stark army: 25000 + 2000 knights

while the north has prospered the rest of westeros has been in turmoil, the crown is in 7 million gold debt and this is 5 years before the story started god knows how bad it will be then. the king has been spending the realm's money like water he holds lavish tournaments, tourneys whores, and wine. the queen has been buying lavish products from around the world to up show the starks if my resources are right, she cannot stand that we have more exquisite things than her that women is mad she can give Marie Antoinette a run for her money. the crown at this moment owes debts to the Lannisters, the iron bank, and the tyrells, though I am sure quite a bit is owned by peter baelish in his secret stashes.

leaving this the faith has been causing a lot of problems in the realm they are extorting money to make septs and hold large sermons and speaking ill of the old gods mostly because many people are converting to them. some of the largest scandals of such were in the westerlands. the small folk there rose against them killed them beat them and even burned septons this fire swept through the westerlands, the high septon in anger proclaimed that all the lords and the people in westerlands are heathens and are forsaken by the seven. tywin Lannister at that blocked all the ways in and out of westerlands and called a great meeting of all vassal lords and their families. the outcome of this meeting was that all those in westerlands de announced the faith of the seven and adopted the faith of the old gods. that was marvelous literally marvelous that was a genius move.

prince oberyn martell has also been making progress as a lord paramount now, the stepstones had many gem mines in them which now are traded with the cities of lys and myr. one thing that took me by surprise was that oberyn was married to a princess from the summer islands and have a daughter and son betweem them. the daughter is called allaine and the son is called Samir, they are twins. when I heard that prince oberyn has trueborn children and an actual wife, I realized this world will not go how I want it too and thus I did a lot of research and made some astonishing discoveries. one of them being the kingdom of sarnor it was supposed to have been destroyed by the Dothraki during the age of blood, but in this world, a dragon lords other than the Targaryen took the kingdom in their name. they were the of house servantine. but once their dragons died out much like their counterparts far west they built a large 300 feet wall around the kingdom, made up of some dark stone and hid behind them for almost 250 years. they mainly trade with cities of norvos, qohor and bravos

even the city of volantis is much larger than in the books it also has 3 sister cities namely volantine moros and raknok they mainly deal in slave trade with old cities like meeren and yunkai and astapor or the new ghiskari empire which is known for starting war all around them and is expanding rapidly.
