Alysia is resting in the park and watching some possibly-Lannister children at play if you want to overawe her with high nobility.


Other than that, Jaehaerys is fairly fixed in place though there's an increasing number of important people showing up there...

Ser Jaehaerys will likely ride in the tournament for the honour of his House. 


I know there are a lot of formidable fighters around, but only a few of them seem to be anointed knights... out of interest, how many player characters are eligible for the joust?

You don't necessarily need to be an anointed knight for the joust, the rules vary per host. This tourney will be more accomodating foe our friends in the North and the Iron Islands and will therefore allow non knights competitors.

Will the melee be restricted to men only? Or can sweet little Rae take a stab at it? (Full pun intended)

The melee will unfortunately be a male only event.
 
I think it's more accurate to say that there's a lot here that would like to have a stab at Rae given her faceclaim is Dormer. Just sayin.

Ah, truly?


Well, as my father wishes.


Jaehaerys will likely feel less pressure to compete in that case, but we'll see.
 
Honestly if Rae asks Aegon to ocmpete he probably would attempt to allow her being his wedding, simply out of curiosity

If Aegon wants to take the wedding into his own hands then by all means he can do so, of course that will also mean he will have to sort out payments, prevent fights from the more hostile houses, arrange everyone to their correct rooms, sort out the prize pool for the tourney, make sure all of his family arrive safe from their various locations, deal with the guard detail, ensure that no one questions the whereabouts of his father, talk with the High Septon about the use of the great sept and of course while doing all of this sort out his own arrangements since he himself is getting married. Otherwise I'm afraid he has little say in the matter.

Maybe, wont stop him from talking and given the way he is with all his attention grabbing and studying most likely he prepared in at least some of the setting up to simply prove a point. But if he gets to urge to change something in the wedding mid way he will and unless they want to call him out in the middle of HIS wedding and argue about it he will likely do as he likes

A lot of people have invested their time and effort into this wedding, and their personal funds: Singers from Pentos, Mummers from Braavos, and even Fire Dancers all the way from the city of Asshai specially booked for the Prince himself, these things do not come cheap. If Prince Aegon will make a mockery of the wedding, then I see no reason to question his judgement on matters he has little experience in.

To add a girl to the melee would create little harm considering refusing her might even offend a noble blood stark, he wouldnt even add a contestent since he would likely give her a test to fight one of his guardsmen who planned to compete, winner moves to fight in the melee. Granted you are free to argue with him in front of the entire city and nobility, just dont expect it to end well for anyone

To add the girl to the melee would be an insult to those whom intend to compete, you're forgetting the inherent sexism that has plagued Westeros for many years, do you think people would remain quite if they were to be beat by a girl? If they were told to beat a girl? The Prince forgets himself, whilst he entertains himself with singing, and plots Lord Verlaryon has been ruling his father's kingdoms, and doing an amiable job at that. If the Prince refuses to listen to his betters and goes over their heads in such a way then mayhaps he should return with his brother to the Stepstones and see what real battle looks like.

So soon after his wedding, you jest. He has to get an heir first. Granted given the character he is to be completely serious out of character if he feels he has no say in his wedding not only will he argue but he might even leave the wedding early since he wouldn't see it as his own if he had no say. He see's no one as his betters, so to have someone tell him no at his own wedding would cause him to leave it

Heir to what? Aegon rules naught and is set to inherit even less. Perhaps it would do him well to harden himself up for his new wife. Leaving early insults no one but his own wife, and perhaps her family, if he feels the need to act like a child then he can run like a child, though he may not be welcomed back with open arms.

He wont be listening to much longer after the wedding, he'll be doing his own movements the second it ends. Even if they wont allow him in the Red Keep he has other friends in the city who would temporaily house him and would only act as fuel for the fire

I assure you his uncle has more, and in higher places. Prince Aegon can play the mastermind all he likes but it all means naught if he can't do anything about it.
 
Out of interest, how old is Aegon precisely?


Based on the birth order I can't see any way he can be older than 18 or 19 (at the very very most) but his bio suggests longer experience.

We'll see. See it this way Hypnos, hes a character a bit like Stannis in he will utterly break before he gives in. As you said hes set to inherit almost nothing and his children shoved aside and thats what hes expected to happen for years. He rebelled against it. Pride is all he has and if he feels his pride is challenged he will likely never back down. Its not me whos so hardheaded about this but the character i made. With the kind of man i made theres no way around the fact that he would refuse to back down, not at his own wedding on a day thats supposed to be about him would he let his decisions be questioned and sit there and listen to it, it would shatter his pride and if that happens he would essentially become a husk and die. Not to mention hes a teenager so the chances of him backing down are even less.

Is he? I was never given an age

And the character which I made will be loathe to let him. Aenar is an old veteran, who himself served in the Stepstones in his youth and fought by the side of the King, he sees it as less of a punishment and more an oppertunity to grow as a person which is why it is the place where he would send the unruly. The realm has seen peace for the past thirty years, and that is not because the King and his Hand have been lax in their rulership. It is simple if Aegon decides to do as he likes then he will be punished for it the same as anyone else.

Thats fine, besides there might be alot happening between the end of the wedding and whenever someone will try to send him to the stepstones 
 
Frankly I'm impressed the mere idea of Rae fighting has caused such controversy, I really don't mind if she can't fight, in fact I think I have plans on what I will have her do during the melee >:)
