the tyrell legitimacy. the heightened ten
sion in the reach coupled with the ambit
ion shared among the tyrell vassals in pu
rsuit of highgarden has almost unsurprisi
ngly led to a state of civil skirmish in the
region, one that house tyrell has not yet
been able to contain. as a result, promin
ent houses of the reach have begun sche
ming behind the backs of their liege lord
s, or seeking out alliances that may direc
tly oppose the tyrell rule. in order to ma
intain their carefully constructed public i
mage as well as their stable relationships
with other great houses, the tyrells not o
nly downplay the issue but exaggerate th
eir influence in the reach; with their righ
t to rule being threatened by the targary
en regime, they don’t want to take the c
hance in losing the support of the great h
ouses who back them by appearing inept
as rulers, especially with many questioni
ng the kingdom's future over the implem
entation of the king's only daughter as h
eir to the iron throne. meanwhile, drago
ns and serpents stir across the sea.

it has been decades since house targar
yen - the dragon overlords of westeros
- were overthrown in a bloody rebellio
n led by house tyrell. over three hundr
ed years of sovereignty were destroyed
in less than a few months. with whoeve
r remained of their house banished to e
ssos, house tyrell resumed kingship of t
he seven kingdoms, and years of peacef
ul rule under the regime has slowly beg
un to crumble into tedious instability.
after years of civil and political unrest
throughout the reach, house tyrell has
found themselves in something of a tig
ht spot. with the unruliness of their vas
sal houses seeded in the question of th
eir noble lineage, maintaining order th
throughout the reach while simultaneo
usly ruling over the crownlands is beco
ming an increasingly more difficult task
to manage. refusing to loosen their grip
over the reach or share their wealth an
d power has subsequently bred further
resentment among their vassal houses,
who were already prone to questioning

the cult of meraxes is a powerful, secret org
anization who's members have infiltrated eve
ry political, military, economic and social sec
tor of essos. feared across essos for their infl
uence & corruption, westerosi have rarely he
ard of them: until now. having spent decades
plotting to control the known world from beh
ind the scenes for their own interests, the cu
lt has jurisdiction over some of the most pow
erful organizations and groups in essos such a
s the iron bank, the house of black and white
and the golden company. institutions who we
re previously neutral or run exclusively throu
gh familial relations have now fallen under th
e influence of the cult. the cult's intentions a
re largely unclear but their goal to gain contr
ol of the known world through rigid order an
d disciplined structure is clear. they shun diso
er and chaos, and believe that decree throug
h hierarchy and earned respect is the only w
ay for the human race to remain civilized. th
us, the ways of the westerosi and their noble
s - where positions of power are demanded t
hrough birthright and acts of war - is somethi

with their sigil being that of a serpent, the cult of meraxes is a dangerous power who will take what they can through murder and violence if they cannot win it through corruption and manipulation. they will infest any open vacuum of power and shadow whoever they believe can help their cause. the cult of meraxes is one of the few powers who back house targaryen's claim to the iron throne and seek to help reimplement the dragon lords back on the iron throne after taking in and nurturing prince daemon targaryen's bastards into adulthood. as one can expect, the cult of meraxes has little interest in the politics and birthrights of westerosi nobility, and their support of house targaryen is not as candid as they let on.

xxxxxwinter is here. after an unusually long decade of ripe summertime and a brief autumn of gaining cold, the first snowfall of winter has been recorded off the shores of ironman's bay. upon studies and observations made by the respectable maesters of the seven kingdoms and the citadel, this winter is predicted to be the harshest, longest and cruelest that westeros has witnessed in centuries. the winds of winter are expected to begin trespassing into southern borders in the coming weeks. ice is predicted to freeze over the waters of blackwater bay and all southern shores as far as the summer sea and the redwyne straits. travel to northern keeps such as the fortress of winterfell and the palace of the eyrie may be impossible as the season progresses. all lords and ladies must heed to the threat of possible famines and disease spreading throughout their realms, and a grievous damper in trade may also be possible as well-treaded roadways and waterways become impenetrable by snow and ice. unless protected by the cover of glass, crops will freeze over in a matter of hours if exposed to harsh temperatures. the citadel recommends all ruling jurisdictions and figureheads to prepare for supply shortages and possible upheaval and unrest in smallfolk populations. this is an urgent matter that must be prepared for beforehand; any slight mishaps or carelessness will result in severe consequences for both high and lowborn. any changes in predictions will be sent via raven as soon as possible.
xxxxxmay the gods be with us all.
