So he wants to keep his family safe more than anything, but at the same time hes trying to force a war on them and all their people..... So Cayden is retarded, got it.Akio said:

Elia wants to create marriage alliances with basically everyone and try to avoid war entirely. But he's worried about them being used as hostages or even killed in order to punish Dorne or force then to war later on unfavorable terms. Basically he wants to prevent a book Elia Martell situation from happening while protecting Daenna. He has less problems with marrying the boys because their brides would go to the Dorne but he does not agree risking his sisters as possible hostages in the future while abandoning Daennas cause. This is probably the biggest divide between them right now. He's confident in Dornes ability to defend Dorne or preform in war woth the right commander but he will not risk his sister's lives for peace. Cayden actually dislikes war, but he's not willing to risk those he sees as family (Daenna, Elia, Ari, Liana) to prevent one.Leusis said:
Thats an odd peace you are imaginingAkio said:
Except every leader or govermental figure knows that war is easily the most dangerous time for them. Not only do you have tons of enemies that want to cut off the head of the snake and will use every chance they get to assassinate you. But also, no matter what you do there will always be a minority or majority of people within your own kingdom that won't want war, and some of those people would be willing to kill the person they hold responsible for war. Bringing Dorne into a war under any circumstance is far more dangerous than even the worst peace.Akio said:
*Shrugs* Of his direct family (which is essentially all he cares about) only Arianne and her twin other then him would ever see the battlefield most likely. Lancelot Martell character is more of an Artisan then a warrior. Liana is a very Varys type of character so would likely stay home and even help guard again assassins in her own special way with her own little birds by ferrating out their employers. Elia is Lord and no general even if she's pretty good politically most times so she would likely be staying behind as well. Arianne among then other then Cayden is the best soldier but since she fights mainly with knives she won't fit into a normal battle line (her twin is not a PC yet) he would probably if he had the chance put her under him along with his brother to keep an eye on her. As for him he cares little who comes after him. He knows the risks of war and probably would not be the first time someone tried to assassinate him. Never said his plan was perfect, he's a mercenary and had been away for 5 years so right now he's not completely aware of the political landscape of Dorne and for the most part thinks miltarily in his thoughts, he just sees this better then putting his sister's alone in a foreign land. Like I said he believes in Dornes own ability to protect itself and therefore protect his family as well. As for assassins and the like that's up to mostly Liana and Elia to defeat, Caydens is the spear of the sun, it only has so much usefulness in the dark when it's not defending his own life.Leusis said:
That's possible and debatable. But with people like Viserys being the guy he is, and Kuriva being insabe, and Brandon randomly executing Kingsguard so ehLeusis said:
This is really starting to trigger me DDD:.Akio said:
I would help if people didn't have such hard to remember names for their characters.Lancelot said:
He hasn't posted in so long I'm forgetting names @JustWhipItLancelot said:
Long solo posts can be annoying, like this damn battle postTheFordee14 said:
I just wing solo posts and see how they turn out.Akio said:
Problem with this post is we were both writing in first person in alternate synchs of the same situation and now I'm writing both sides suddenlyLancelot said:
Why not just write from Caydens POV?Akio said:
Because it throws off the entire flow of the text, it would suddenly go from alternate to one point of view with a third of the battle leftLancelot said:
You could always redo it?Akio said:
Its 4 and a half pages xDLancelot said:
That shouldn't take too long, quite a bit would be cut and you already have Caydens POVAkio said:
