>>4314665
>>4314668
>>4314669
>>4314671

We got the following events after our Founding:

1. Invasion/Revolt
2. Scandal
3. Scandal
4. Decline

Wow, lots of scandals for us. You got it right, >>4314690

Our Resources stand here after our Founding Event:

>Defense: 30
>Influence: 15
>Lands: 11
>Law: 16
>Population: 24
>Power: 36
>Wealth: 30

Now we need rolls for our Invasion/Revolt event.

Need a 2d6, result subtracted from our Law (FUCK)

Also need 3 rolls of 1d6, subtracted from Population, Power, Wealth.

>>4314697
Uhhh can we roll for the rest of the events again here and pretend the ones above were only for the founding event. Because that's an unreasonable amount of bad stuff.

Rolled 2, 2 = 4 (2d6)

All right, our Invasion/Revolt is done. Here are our Resources:

>Defense: 30
>Influence: 15
>Lands: 11
>Law: 12
>Population: 22
>Power: 35
>Wealth: 29

And our new reroll events after the Invasion/Revolt:

3. Infrastructure
4. Treachery
5. Favor
6. Infrastructure
7. Infrastructure

That's looking much better. Everybody saying how bad we are, all we doing is just rebuilding. So that's it for the historical events.

For Infrastructure event, I need two 1d6 rolls. We need it for Influence, Lands, and Law--so roller, choose where it's applied.

Rolled 6, 5 = 11 (2d6)

>>4314806
Law land

Rolled 6, 6 = 12 (2d6)

>>4314806
Influence land

>>4314806
Don't we have three infrastructure events?
How about 6 for lands. 6 for laws and 5 for influence?

>>4314811
>>4314814

So the first Infrastructure we receive a 6 to Law, and a 5 to Land.

Second Infrastructure we get a 6 to Influence and a 6 to Land. Fuck yeah.

>Defense: 30
>Influence: 21
>Lands: 22
>Law: 18
>Population: 22
>Power: 35
>Wealth: 29

I'm doing the events outta order since we got 2 Infrastructure rolls, but that's okay. If someone wants to go ahead and do the last Infrastructure, I'm fine with that.

We need Treachery next. Give me three 1d6 rolls. Two are to subtract from Influence and Law, the third is to add to Power.

Ok, guy and gals what should our character be? Dual-wielding axes, war hammer, ball and chain? I think a ball and chain would be pretty fun we could rope enemies up and toss them overboard

Lastly for Events we have Infrastructure.

Also let's talk house history. Looks like we have a rocky start in ancient days, then begin a steady climb up. What were the details on the scandal that founded our house? Are we a bastard house?

>>4314903
Mayhap we were seen as just a lowly house, maybe even just a lowborn house, that rose and stole it's power from another?

>>4314903
Bastard of the Salt king?

Rolled 1, 3 = 4 (2d6)

>>4314903
Law and pop

>>4314903
I like the idea of Wildling settlers stranded in the isles during the Age of heroes

Our first member was the daughter of a king who married some lowborn slave she captured while reaving instead of a proper rock husband. (Since we actually got three scandals in the beginning it's only fair the scandal is three magnitudes worse)

>>4314903
Twincest is always a classic. Just have the founder be a guy who thought his twin sister was the best girl and killed anyone who said otherwise. Maybe he was a powerful warrior and he got away with it with brute force?

>>4314913
I kinda like this idea

>>4314917
+1

>>4314913
Wildlings haven't really existed yet though. Everyone was still First Man, children still walk in the forests, the wall was just erected.

>>4314917
It could lead to the belief of a family curse where whenever twins are born of that house, calamity and disaster ensue.

The founding of the house began when the founder was a mere recruit of a minor Reaver-lord. The "Recruit" as the house only knows since written records were never prevalent in Ironborn society was one of skullduggery in skills, often acting as a scout and ad-hoc assassin for his lord. It was too a point where the Recruit took advantage of this influence and betrayed his lord in a counter assassination job by a rival lord, killing him in cold blood while he was asleep.

The Recruit had thought his penultimate ways of stealth ensured that he wasn't seen- but the next day after the entire crew had knew what he had done! Someone must have saw him leave the lord's quarter of the ship at night. What happened next was that The Recruit had to fight off and kill his entire crew by himself with one a dagger and a fork, a crew of 100- heavily armed. By some fortune of the Drowned Gods themselves The Recruit had one this battle that went on for 1 day and a half.

Heavily injured and near to death, The Recruit retreated, not having a chance to kill the various thralls and staff-hands of the ship. This had caused his story to spread like wildfire. Many other Ironborn were impressed by his sheer skill of combat, especially with the meagre weapons he had at his disposal. Others loathed and rated him a cowardly fool.

However the matter this prestige was enough for some men to come unto his influence, beginning his own house all by accident as it accumulated. This house is perceived as snake-like schemers for this long, long even centuries ago.

>>4314916
>Salt husbands instead of Salt wives

the inversion and success of such an arrangment is kinda cool but I can't see this actually working in he heyday of Ironborn lifestyle.

>>4314931
Thats fair

>>4314913
Expanding on this our house was founded by Wulf the black, a King who during the long night took his people south on boats but incurred the wrath of the Drowned god and the fleet was smashed upon the rocks of our island, shennanigans ensued and Wulf married a daughter of the drowned god as his one & only salt wife.

>>4314916
Supporting this

>>4314946
Most of what happened during the Age of Heroes are myths and legends anyways so take it as something that was believed by people instead of the truth.

>>4314916

>>4314962
Then consider it an expansion on the tale rather than given fact

>>4314916
I don't really understand why a high born would do this? Maybe it was a sex slave idk

Yeah, but the wall was still erected, we didn't like it, and went around it.

>>4314946
I think it's Rock wife, but OK

>>4314972
That's why it's a very very bad scandal. Rumors say the guy is a sorcerer and enchanted her, or maybe he was just too handsome. It's basically a myth at this point but people would bring it up to prove our tainted blood or something.

>>4314916
Supporting this or twincest. The wildlings idea is neat but its an Invasion/Revolt event not Scandal.

>>4314997
Mix them together maybe? the Wildling bit and one of the others as in.

>>4314916
+1
Maybe the thrall she married is a handsome wildling skinchanger?

>>4315088
Ooh I like this

Neat, Ironborn stuff is fun. I'm pretty late to this, so I'm just combining stuff from above with an old house concept.

Founding: A daughter of the king (or a lord, whichever) weds a "merling" with her father's blessing. He turns out to be a wildling (some trickery involved) which makes the father look like a fool and leads to his untimely death when he lashes out. An honor duel maybe? The daughter and her wildling husband split off from the main branch to avoid retribution and there is bad blood between them and their main branch house even today. That gives you a potential enemy to work with as well.

Dad is that you?

7. Infrastructure

So now we get to spend Resources on Holdings. Defense is up first, pic related.

We have enough for a Small Castle, or a Hall and a Tower. I honestly only see us having prolly one domain, and I'd love to have an island.
I'll take a vote on it. The choices are:
>1. Small Castle
>2. A Hall & a Tower


But to house history!

>>4315106
I was also thinking of mixing everything we have into one Founding Event. And I think your words are spot on, so I'll use them and add in a little detail myself.

>Founding: A daughter of a salt king weds a "merling" with her father's blessing. He turns out to be a wildling (some trickery involved, probably magic) which makes the father look like a fool and leads to his untimely death when he lashes out at the wildling. A duel ensues, despite the daughter saying she loves the wildling. The wildling kills the father, not winning any favors with the rest of the family.
>The daughter and her wildling husband split off from the main branch to avoid retribution and there is bad blood between them and their main branch house even today. Blood feuds pop up between your house and theirs ever since the house's founding.

Small Castle it is, by a landslide. That'll get us a handy +6 to our military units defending our castle.

Now onto Influence. It tells us our Head of House's max Status ranking, as well as how well known we are.

The status of our House is 3. Even other ironborn may not be familiar with our family. But this leaves us free to put exp into other aspects of our character.

Gonna post two other pics for Influence.

All right, since we got 10 votes split down the middle, I'm going to roll to settle the tie.

1-3 is playing unmarried, 4-6 is playing already married.
dice+1d6


Now we move onto Lands. Table 6-6 and 6-7 of the picture are what we buy Land with. We choose 1 Terrain type, and add on as many Features as we like. The middle table shows what is common to each Realm.

The Iron Islands typically have Hills and Plains for Terrain.

The main question here is, do we want to have our own island? This doesn't necessarily mean we're struck out in the middle of the ocean--we can very easily be just off the coast of another isle.

The cheapest island we can get is one with Plains (Island) that costs 15 Land. That'd be most of our Land, but we can upgrade it with Hills (to buy Mines later) and a Coast (to get a Port).

So the question is: To island or not to island?

If we do go with an island, I've no qualms with making up our own island. In the past when I've done house gen, I find islands are one of the easier domains to make since all you gotta do is stick it on water. Don't have to worry about stepping on other House's toes.

But for reference, here's a map of the islands.

>>4315266

Worth considering that we can't build a Port, Marketplace or many other very useful holdings without at least a Small Town

With that in mind we might want to go with something like
>Plains 5
>Coast 3
>Small Town 20

>>4315371
I could dig that especially as it could be worked into the foundings scandal

>>4315266
On the other hand, if we really wanted an island then we could go
>Hills + Island + Coast 20
>Plains + Coast 8
We'd be giving up on a Port, Marketplace, etc but have two domains means we'd have the space for two Estate Holdings.
Could be fluffed as having a patch of coastline and a small offshore island kinda like >>4315293 but without a land bridge.

Plains- Island coast hamlet

Honestly the whole port/marketplace thing, while a ubiquitous goal in these quests, just feels kind of boring for ironborn. There are supposed to be 31 islands in total with only the 7 largest shown on the map. There's no reason we can't have our own. I'm not sure if we are purchasing "island" for each domain or just once.

If we need to purchase for each domain, then:
>Domain 1: Island, Plains
And bank the rest to convert resources later or take something over ironborn style. Or grab the food multipliers if that's a thing here.

If we only need to buy the island once, then:
>Domain 1: Island, hills
>Domain 2: Plains, coast

All right gang, looks like we're wanting an island domain for our Lands. I'll work the land bridge/arch into it as well.

>Hills + Island + Coast 20
>Plains + Coast 8

>The name of Archport, the main settlement on our island, is a bit of a misnomer. Named after the natural rock arch that reaches from our main island to the small islet our castle sits upon, Archport is a large fishing at best. The inhabitants number 20 or so families. The arch itself houses a few families that directly work with the noble house. A small lighthouse stands above the village.


Next up we have Law and Population. These simply affect our House Fortune Rolls during play, pic related.

>Law: -5
>Population: +1

Our Population is decent, with the number being typical and spread out. Our Law poses some problems, with banditry and general lawlessness along the fringes.

But our next decision comes in Power Holdings, aka military units. We'll probably need a Garrison and Warships, but beyond that I'm open to suggestions. Archers would be nice, and Raiders would fit nicely. I'll put up the Power Holding pic next.

Warship units can only transport 1 land unit each, so I added a second and made the raider unit into something more fighty. Raider alone lacks Athletics which is used for damage. I added Criminal on with the last point for the Stealth option and the flavor of it.

>Trained Garrison (5)

Garrison can protect our holdings when we’re off raiding. Two units of warships to deliver our personal guard and scouts into battle. Elite personal guard will scythe through opposition far more effectively than any unit raiders. Trained scouts or archer provide some ranged firepower - I’d probably go with the scouts, both have the long-ranged keyword but I think the scouts stealth training would be more useful for a raiding force.

>>4315641
Guys, we can only transport 1 unit of soldiers per unit of warships. Having 4 infantry units and only 1 warship unit is a BAD idea.

>>4315661
changing to support this

>>4315661
Two units of warship of warships cost 20 (2x(3+7)10=20) so you're overbudgeting unless we do some conversion or you just want to buy one unit of warships for now.

>>4315660
Criminals are a terrible unit. Combined units add their Discipline modifiers together so, yeah, that 1 point of power gives your unit Stealth but it also makes your Veteran Infantry/Criminals as poorly disciplined as Green Infantry.
A better option is Infantry/Scouts. It costs an extra 1 power but only worsens your discipline by +3 and gives you Stealth, Awareness and Long-Ranged.

I'd like to think my body is ready. It'll be great when the units on our ships get to "move first" but since they're on water, they can't move until the ships does. Wee.

>>4315668
I like this for our units. The warships can provide ranged attacks if we're not too far from the shore. We can get proper Archers later, perhaps.

But for our last resource, we have Wealth Holdings. We got 29, and pic related for what we can buy.

Some ideas: Fishery, Fur Trade, Salt Works, Salvage Operations.
What would you guys like for our Wealth Holdings?

I might not be here for the discussion so you fuckers better convert 4 wealth to law. That nets you an effective +3 to house fortunes an that's a better return than you'll get from any holding for sure.

>>4315695
>Solar (1D 4W)

Master of arms (10)

>Military Academy and the improvement that lets us give all our units training in an extra skill
>Give the Stealth keyword and training to all units

Assuming that doesn’t get enough votes we want to max out Wealth bonuses since Wealth can be converted into any other resource. I can’t remember if it’s Fishery or Fur Trade that works out to be the best Wealth booster once you include the improvements but I’m pretty sure it’s one of them.

I’ve also always wanted to play an ASOIAF qst with the Minstrel’s Seat holding. It’s extremely useful if you’ve got a couple of other holdings boosting your Wealth, and I like the idea of some Drowned God true believer skald roaring his songs from the bow of our boats as we charge into battle.

>>4315697
And seconding the 4 point Wealth to Law conversion. Like anon says, that’s the best possible bang for our buck.

we can always save it, it means we have a whole tier of wealth before we end up relying on House fortunes to stave off bankruptcy.

>>4315695
>Valuable Mine 15 wealth (+2 HF, +2 Wealth)
>Master of Arms 10 wealth
>4 Wealth to Law

We could always skip the master of arms right now and pick something else up that'll help with other rolls since I don't think we could buy a mine later on but I could be wrong

Wealth to law 4
Whaling 10
Mines 10
Bank the rest or maybe a priest?

>>4315697
Putting 4 Wealth into Law would be great for us, to get us +2 to Law. So our Resources are now:

>Law: 21
>Wealth: 25

Our new Law House Fortune roll is now:
>Law Mod: -2

That's less crippling now! Only a net -1 to HF rolls so far.


So for Wealth Holdings.

You guys definitely want a Master of Arms, but between the other holdings, the Master of Arms is easier to acquire--we can always search for one during play.

>Salt works - (Cost 10. HF Roll +1, Wealth +1, Pop Loss Mitigation +1)
>Fishery (Whaling) - (Cost 10. HF Roll +1, Influence +1, Wealth +1)

Would you guys like to:
>Spend 5 for a resident Drowned Priest
>Keep the 5 for future use

>>4315741
We can buy mines later ... it just takes 24+2d6 months to build them. Fisheries are 2d6 (plus 1d6 or 2d6 for processing or whaling respectively).
That’s why I reckon we should go for Mines before Fisheries (not to mention Mines tucked away on our island are safer from raiders and the benefits are frankly better than Fisheries).

Master of Arms is 12+1d6 months to hire later but I think that would be a mistake because the Master of Arms improvement in post-battle injury rolls is absolutely worth more than the resource bonus from fisheries.

>>4315763
>Salt works - (Cost 10. HF Roll +1, Wealth +1, Pop Loss Mitigation +1)

The salt must flow

>>4315763
If this is the choice then
>Master of Arms
>Fishery+Whaling
>Spend 5 for the Downed Priest
Salt works is garbage. How often do you think the Pop Loss Mitigation will come up? In all of the ASOIAF qst threads I can’t think of a single time we’ve actually rolled a loss in the monthly house fortunes, between Bo3 dice roll and anon’s buying holdings that boost your House Fortune roll you just never get a loss.

>>4315763
>Fishery
>Get the priest

>>4315777
Mines is better than both Fisheries and Salt Works though.
+2 wealth is just plain better than +1 wealth/+1 influence. The wealth boost is always useful (since you can convert it to any other resource), the influence boost is only useful when you want to boost influence (or law I guess) and that happens a lot less often.

>>4315763
>Salt works - (Cost 10. HF Roll +1, Wealth +1, Pop Loss Mitigation +1)
>Keep the 5 for future use

We're still going to mine anons... mountains of salt

The salt works fit for the Iron Islands, but otherwise don't offer too much mechanical benefit so I'll take Salt Works off the table.

>>4315780
>>4315791
Going all in on the Fishery with Whaling AND Processing nets us: HF +1, Pop +1, Influence +1, Wealth +2. I think this is the most sound investment, as it gets us 2 Wealth and increases Population and Influence.

That leaves us with 10 Wealth. I'm tempted to buy the Master of Arms now, since it was so popular, but we could get a basic mine.
Your choice now is:
>Basic Mine (+5 to HF rolls)
>Master of Arms (Each unit in the House gains 1 Wealth to upgrades, and gets a +1 to injuries after a battle (pretty sure this is for recovery time, but I maybe wrong))

And I'll throw in a Drowned Priest for free. A fluff NPC is always good in my book, and since the priests wander around the Islands, we can't really "buy" one to stay with us forever. He could be our local wandering mad man... I mean priest.

>>4315828

Now it's time for the fluff, the good shit.

What is the sigil of our old and venerable house? We were founded on a scandal, a salt king's daughter marrying a trickster shapeshifter. Our name could roll from that, or it could be an invert of our OG house since we're bastards. Bastard houses aren't very common, but us inverting colors would be interesting.

>Mermaid, Sea Wolf, Sea Dragon
>Inverted or changed colors of: House Greyjoy, Saltcliffe, Volmark, Merlyn

Reference for the above houses: https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Iron_Islands#Houses

Also open to any suggestions.

>>4315322

Let's do something different, then. An Isle to the south of the main Iron Islands, perhaps even closer to the fair isle then Pyke? The invasion could have been when the Lannister kings attacked the Iron islands and conquered several, including Great Wyk.

>>4315863
Since we took whaling, this might be relevant. Make it a rite of passage for the men of the house to slay a "leviathan." There's also the whole kraken vs leviathan rivalry. Alternatively, Volmark has a leviathan theme, so a CoA depicting hunting one could be a jab at them. Then there's the lore of the leviathans themselves being in places like the waters north of the Iron Islands by Wildling territory and also way out in the Shivering Sea if anyone ever ends up being for a little adventure.

>>4315871
>going out to hunt a leviathan in the shivering sea as a rite of passage

I can dig it

>>4315863
The sigil is a ship (representing the princess and our fishing) catching a merling in its net. Location just off Great Wyk. We're originally descended from House Goodbrother. To this day some of them still call our house the Badsister.

I'll be heading out for Father's Day shenanigans, but I should be back in 2-3 hours.

But my 2 cents so far.

>>4315865
I really like this idea. Maybe making the third point of a triangle with the Banefort and the Crag--that'd put us a lot closer to the westerlands. And we'd be a decently sized stop for anyone going to and from the Iron Islands to the south. See pic for the map.

>>4315871
I do like this sigil. Hunting "leviathans" for a rite of passage is fucking cool, and melds well with our whaling trade.

>>4315890
I do like the thought of being split off from the Goodbrothers family. The name Badsister has a nice ring to it.

>>4315891
I just grabbed one I already had saved. If there's a program that can make a CoA like that, then it's not one of the free ones I've stumbled across.

>>4315907
Also idk if we'd want to be a bastard line of House Greyjoy. Just threw their name out since a different colored kraken would be an easier coat of arms to make.

>>4315909
Greyjoys aren't older than us. I prefer being a Drumm offshoot. They're old, their sigil is cool and they got a Valyrian Sword we can steal.

So I saw you mentioned dual axes. I've never gotten around to using this on /qst/ due to my fighterlet characters, but I had this Benefit worked up for a dual wielder. It plugs the gap in the rules that otherwise forces you to use a little cuck axe/dagger in your OH if you want to see any benefit to dual wielding.

>Double attack. Make a single attack with each of your weapons, taking -1D to each test. Requirements: Fighting 5, Agility 4, Cunning 4.

It's just the Double Shot rules with the Weapon Savant requirements, nothing fancy. It would be downright nasty with Berserker, but obviously those agi/cunning requirements are a pretty steep counterbalance on an athletics fighter. Just figured I'd drop it here in case you're interested.

Aye, the Redhand founder stole the heart of a Drumm daughter, and was caught in the act. But he got away with it. His theft begot a now-ancient line of ironborn leaders and reavers. The sigil itself still incenses the Drumms of Old Wyk to this day.

>>4316476
Whilst I like this one aesthetically, I'm not sure about it on an in-setting basis - what's the relationship between the drowned god and Merlings? And that Merling is being very preening for an Ironborn one. Perhaps this could be our personal crest (our mother coming from some house with a merling as a crest) with house Redhand's official sigil being either >>4316417

The idea behind it is more solid.

>>4316679
Mermaids attend the warriors of the Drowned God in the Drowned Halls. The merman on Worldspinner looks suspiciously like the House Manderly one without the trident. And I think most ironborn warriors think of beautiful female mermaids before mermen.

>The words of House Redhand are "Writ in Red." Our history is one of blood, spilling both greenlander and ironborn blood. The feud with House Drumm, residing on holy Old Wyk, has flared on and off for generations. But we have endured since the Age of Heroes. When the greenlanders began pushing us out of the Shield Islands, Bear Island, and Fair Isle, our isle of Archport remained. And its defense was written in the blood of our enemies.

"Writ in Red" won by a landslide, but the vote on MC was very close. Firstborn heir won, but now we must decide on our heir's gender.
