Laying Out the Groundwork

"Now that I think about it, calling it a faction doesn't right."

"It would be better to call it an alliance."

Even though the thought of forming his own alliance was something he considered he'd do at the very end of everything, it wasn't as if he'd forgotten the reason why he wanted to form an alliance in the first place.

Then again, the reason why Valyr held back on forming the alliance at the beginning of his journey through Veldanyr was because he did not have the necessary strength nor the resources to establish one.
