CK Post III: Joffrey Part II

WARNING: The net is dark and full of spoilers. Read at your own risk.

So here's part 2!

Joffrey appropriates the entire Riverlands, and sentences Edmure Tully to death by beheading. I chose this option as it makes the most sense given Joffrey's character, In the game, you accrue Tyranny Points for doing this, though. Better to throw him in the dungeon and revoke his highest title, but let's be honest, Joffrey would gladly torture Edmure to death for the crime of his rebellion,

It would have been nice to kill Robb, but killing Brandon (and seizing his assets) will do. After Joffrey beheads him, he makes Sansa kiss his head, and puts it on a pole next to Eddard's.


Stannis has been soundly defeated, and names terms of his surrender to the rightful king.


Joffrey cannot kill Stannis, because that would accrue the kinslayer malus. Instead, the King demands forfeiture of Stannis' primary title, and plans to throw Stannis in the dungeon until he dies in the oubliette.



Joffrey grants the North to Galbart Glover, who has the Content trait, meaning he will make a loyal vassal.


Same reason I grant the Riverlands to Lymond Goodbrook.


And the Stormlands to Harlan Wagstaff.


Well, there goes the plan of making him rot to death in the oubliette.


I select my "uncle" (and father) Jaime to take down Stannis' champion.


Wot.

In any case, I let Stannis go. I cannot gain any more Tyranny points, nor can I kill him.


The newest member of the Kingsguard. I appoint Sandor Clegane to Lord Commander.


Well, this is trouble. The Reach is the strongest region in the game, and the Iron Bank is granting them an additional army of 10K sellswords. Joffrey, who has just come of age, has his work cut out for him it seems.

In any case, we'll end here for now. A glimpse of the future...



(As a final note, I think I lost a few screenshots, so I'll just say it here: Littlefinger and Varys borrowed exorbitant sums of money from the Tyrells and the High Septon. I'm not sure what they did with it tbh, because I didn't see any sellswords hired or castles built or whatever. I've never seen them borrow and possibly embezzle this much before. In any case, serviced all those debts, but I'll be honest: the only way I could service the Iron Bank debt was getting lucky and having Daenerys die, and her wealth pass to me as her only living heir. I think it's fair enough, I got super unlucky with my regents this game).
