Supplementary 4 - Goals of Aenys First of his name.

Estimated lifespan. 10-20 years more probably. Not a particularly healthy man. 

Goals that MUST be achieved before I die. 

Tax reforms. - Finished. 

Profesional army numbering at the very least at 35 thousand. 

Road network across the entire continent. 

Steam ships. 

Steam powered machines of all kinds. 

Trains. Possibly not going to able to do it? Only have the concept. Must try and re-engineer from steamship. 

4 crop system, and breed better cows, sheep and livestock. Thank you Steve Atwell. Topic for second kings counsel. 

Raise crown lander Dike, and begin to raise land from the sea. 

Conquer the Stepstones. Raise a Dike that encircles the Stepstones all around. Very shallow waters. Begin to raise the broken arm of Dorne from the sea. 

Drain the neck, and crackclaw point, to turn the swamps into nice farmland. Destroy the neck as a defensive barrier for the north. 

Introduce a printing press. 

Import the way to make paper from Yi ti. 

Discover and colonize the targaryen Islands. Import local crops from there. With luck, good Indonesian spices. Then again, we already have nutmeg. 

Send an expedition to Circumnavigate the world. Something to do after workable steamships. Hopefully will lead to American crops. Potato would be a game changer. 

Set my family in order. 

Train Rhaena as my first grand Admiral. Curious to see how well one can lead navies from dragon back. 

Have Aegon and Viserys spend time in the army. 

Reconcile with my wife. Compromise if needed. 

Deal with the maesters. 

Convince the high septon to move to kings landing. Centralize the Faith in the capital. 

Introduce universities. House Payne has asked for permission to make one. Convince other dukes to follow suit? 

Build the dragon pit. Open ceiling to let non dangerous dragons spread their wings. 

Rework the city guard into an actual police force. - In progress. 

Institute their code of dress, inspired by a fantasy outfit. - Finished. My police dress like the witch king of angmar from the awful animated movie. Terrible voice. Good design though. 

Cultivate myself as a great patron of the arts. In particular one of musician and bards, so they will spread tales of my greatness across the nation. 

Invent the Draailier, then mass produce them and give them to bards to help with this purpose. - In progress. Westerosi name is music box. 

Make it the legal right of all men and women south of the neck to ge given a copy of the Seven pointed star upon their sixteenth birthday. Must be done after printing press and paper. Hopefully lead to some large scale literacy. 

Make trade deals with the free cities. - In progress. 

Make a comprehensive and universal law code. 

Deal with the Ironborn. - In progress. 

Incorporate the mountain clans of the Vale. 

Economic reforms. In progress. 

Deal With the maesters. 

Begin building canals. 

Make a bank. - Finished.

Goals that would be nice to achieve, but not critical. 

Introduce universal education. Would be very nice to have, but would be incredibly expensive and time consuming. 

Get rid of the wildlings. VERY desirable, but hard to do. Without dragons North of the wall, would have to send armies to get rid of them. Would take decades. Not realistic. 

Explore the lands beyond the wall. Find where the others live. Not realistic.

Make a universal organization to keep track of hedge Knights, tourneys and Mercenaries across the nation. A Westerosi fighters guild.

Introduce the Olympic games. In progress. 

Found knight orders. 

Get my hands on more valyrian steel. 

Remake all of King's landing. - In progress.

Make sure the western lions aren't hunted to extinction. 

Bring Dorne into a lucrative trade deal, while destroying their ability to raid my lands. 

Have as many children as possible. 

Establish incredibly strong castles around the coastline north and south of the wall. 

Tax everything. 

---

Misc goals. 

Write books to establish myself as an author. Easiest way is to just copy novels from earth and rewrite them to fit into this world. 80 leagues under the sea, and robin hood would probably work best to both promote science and be targaryen propaganda respectively. 

Write anthems for all of my provinces. In progress. 

Destroy houses Frey and Bolton if the opportunity arises. Cannot be trusted. 

Write a guide for how to rule. The Way of kings sounds like a good title for that.
