True but what benefit would they get from squashing Dorne, thier land has the richest farming land un the seven kingdoms and any attempt to conquer and hold Dorne has ended in absolute disaster for everyone involved. Hes hoping they remain somewhat objective you know with the iron island raiding their lands and 40000 dwarves crossing the narrow seaWanderingJester said:
Old grudges and blood debts die hard.
I mean, they don't have to conquer Dorne, the Reachmen can just walk in, kill any and everyone they see, burn a few seats down including Sunspear, and leave. Benefits? Payback maybe? I don't know some people go pretty far in the name of revenge, especially if this dude killed that other dude's great grandfather or something. You know, old medieval grudges and stuff. Just like guys from the Three Sisters aren't that keen on Northerners after a few centuries of the Boltons making coats out of their skins. *shrug*Akio said:
You know, that's a good point. I can imagine further deterioration between House Tyrells and their Marcher Lords, like the Tarlys, if something like this went down. I know the Stag Marcher Lords would be pissed if they suddenly didn't have to kill every Dornish raider that comes on their land.Leusis said:
Hes not asking for eternal friendship, he asks to unite against a commitment enemy and make a start to repairing relationshipsLeusis said:
Hes probably not gonna leave Dorne for no reason even if he negotiated an alliance with the Tyrells. It would take something big to stir himself to march across Westeros. Also he would try to gather proof of the Ibbens involvement before he left, hes well aware speaking of an enemy even he didnt believe when he first heard about them and he was there he wouldn't be stupid enough to leave with nothingLeusis said:
He cares less hes a bastard though if he found out he may use it as an excuse, but he knows the strength of the golden company, hes likely fought with them several times with several other mercenary companies and without a doubt hes a contender for the throne who's a competent military commander. But following him would mean possible getting Daenna killed to protect his claim. He represent a great conflict for Cayden personally in the future, especially if hes leader of dorne where his conflict of personal morals may conflict with the needs of a leader of dorneLeusis said:Its just a bastard leading them, whats the big deal?
The Prince of Dorne's contemplating the option of coming to an "agreement" of mutually not killing each other with the Reach, along with a possible deal to let them march men through it in case of an Ibben invasion. Also we discussed the previous victorious at taking King's Landing and the defensibly of the Vale. Also Tiber's bannermen were demanding my knowledge of the coming war plan to which I replied: what war plan?TheAncientCenturion said:
if your talking about here discussing what Cayden might do if he came to lead dorne, if your talking about westeros IC hell if i knowTheAncientCenturion said:
