EVENT / PLOT DROP RELATED QUESTIONS -
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE CAPITAL ?
❝ though the court historian will tell you , if i’m recorded with KING AEMON’S reign , that i left braavos in search of a better life. that’s an extreme simplification. i had a good life in braavos - - i was treated more like nobility there than i’ll ever be treated here. i wanted a different life. i tired of being at the beck and call of those who could afford me. i wanted to be my own mistress , and i wanted to stop waiting on old , broken promises. so i sought out a new challenge. ❞
WHAT ARE YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF THE RED KEEP ?
❝ - - -as i serve at the behest of the crown , isn’t it only fit that i sing the praises of such a veritable fortress ? ❞
ARE YOU PARTAKING IN THE FESTIVITIES AS AN INVITED GUEST , OR SOMEONE IN SERVICE TO AN INVITED GUEST ?
❝ both. i am enjoying the celebrations in the service of the king , though i’m constantly reminded of my station in the looks and whispers that accompany me. no one wants a celebrated prostitute sitting next to them at a banquet - - not really. ❞
DID YOU ATTEND THE WELCOME FEAST ?
❝ was my account of the whispering and the staring not confirmation enough ? ❞
IF SO , CAN YOU ACCOUNT FOR YOUR WHEREABOUTS DURING THE MURDER ?CAN ANYONE VERIFY THIS ACCOUNT ?
❝ i was mingling. i’m sure any of the gawking lords and ashamed ladies would be glad to. ❞
DID YOU SEE , HEAR , OR OVERHEAR ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL IN THE INVESTIGATION ?
❝ given that i am conducting a similar , more discreet investigation of my own , i’m not entirely willing to disclose any sensitive information. ❞
WHAT MOTIVE MIGHT SOMEONE HAVE FOR MURDERING A KINGSGUARD ?
❝ lust , jealousy , revenge, and a show of ego are typically the culprits. in this case , i expect the knight had seen too much wine and started a fight he couldn’t finish. ❞
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS MURDER WAS / WILL BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT ? EXPLAIN.
❝ NO. a murder in king’s landing is far from a rarity. gather all of the high & mighty players of westeros under roof ? eventually one will express their discontent , and others will follow. blood will be shed , it’s how it’s gone historically - - i don’t expect that to change. ❞
IF YOU WERE ASKED TO LAY BLAME UPON ONE OF THE HOUSES RUMORED TO BE NEAR AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER ( STARK , MARTELL , and HIGHTOWER ) , WHO WOULD YOU HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A HEINOUS ACT ?
❝ it would be foolish for me to point fingers in the middle of an investigation. however , the most logical choice would be an affiliate of house MARTELL - - this heated history between the targaryen’s and martell’s is well documented. it’s likely those animosities have carried through generations. things like that never die in westeros - - wars have been started for less. ❞

there is only a moments hesitation ––– bastard of the tides lingers bitterly at the tip of his tongue . “ lord lucerys of house velaryon . “
WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS / LOVED ONES CALL YOU ?
“ it’s a faint memory , “ and it fades further with each day . “ but my late mother used to refer to me as lucy . ” he continues after a beat . “ and my family and those closest to me are permitted to call me luce . “

DO YOU HAVE SIBLINGS ?
“ i have three . “
DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN ? DO YOU WANT THEM ?

DO YOU HAVE A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR FAMILY ?
“ my relationship with my family is . . . ” the true nature of his relationship with his immediate family was not information he would readily volunteer . he would keep up appearances for the good of his house . maybe he was becoming more and more a velaryon . “ quite positive and growing even more so everyday . “
DO YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY TRADITIONS / MEMORIES THAT YOU VALUE ?
“ there is one memory i cherish ––– after my mother’s death father took my eldest brother and i out on the water in a boat he’d had personally crafted to replicate corlys velaryon’s own vessel the sea snake . he’d never let either of us near it until that day and i’d been obsessed with it . ” there is no mention of him being tossed from the watercraft . that was the day he’d learned to swim . it was either sink or float .
HOW DO YOU TYPICALLY SPEND A DAY ?
“ i try to stray from routine . there is no typical day for me . though when i’m at home on driftmark i spend a considerable amount of time in blackwater bay . ”
ARE YOU RELIGIOUS ?
“ i find the followers of rh’llor to be an interesting sort as far as religious views go . but i place my faith in none but myself . ”
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH ?
“ my ability to endure . “ his entire life has been a test of endurance .
YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS ?
“ would it be arrogant to suggest i don’t have one ? “ but there is one . just the one . would rid himself of the facade he wears for his house for her .
DESCRIBE A HIDDEN TALENT / LITTLE KNOWN SKILL YOU BELIEVE YOU POSESS.
“ i'm fairly adept at food preparation . ” he’d picked up quite a few things hiding in the kitchens as a boy .
DO YOU FALL IN LOVE EASILY ?
“ in my life i have only ever fallen in love with one person –– i would presume that answers your question . ”
DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU WOULD DIE FOR ? WHO ?
“ i do . ” his response is curt . to the point . “ who that person might be is of little importance . what do you stand to gain from the answer ? ”
DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW.
“ i can’t plan that far ahead but i see myself remarried . ” happily this time around and to the woman he’d loved throughout the whole of his marriage to joanna . the woman he should’ve married all along . out of this god forsaken kingdom and back in essos , a place that in five years had come to feel more like home than his own . living out a dream that had died long ago .
DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE A SECRETIVE PERSON ?
“ with regards to some things i would prefer not to be . ” living with what has been his best kept secret for all these years eats away at him slow but sure . “ who among us can go through life without having a few secrets . ”
IS THERE A SECRET RELATED TO YOU THAT YOU HIDE FROM MOST PEOPLE ?
“ if i shared it with you it wouldn’t be much of a secret now would it ? ”
DO YOU PUT YOURSELF BEFORE OTHERS , OR OTHERS BEFORE YOURSELF ?
“ i’ve my house to think about so the latter would seem the appropriate response . ”
DO YOU LIKE YOURSELF ?
“ less and less with each coming day . i liked the man i was before. . . ”
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON ?
“ i don’t know that i believe in good people . never mind examining whether or not i fit into such a category . ”
ARE YOU A VENGEFUL PERSON ?
“ that is something measured on a case by case basis . ”
* –––––– › PART II . : THE INTERROGATION !
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE CAPITAL ?
“ the very thing that has brought all of the houses of westeros together . ”
WHAT ARE YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF THE RED KEEP ?
“ it would be banal to say it doesn’t compare to my ancestral home wouldn’t it ? what i shall say instead is the first time i laid eyes upon the red keep i was mystified by the sight of it . i’ve been here too often to feel much of anything in regards to it now . ”
ARE YOU PARTAKING IN THE FESTIVITIES AS AN INVITED GUEST , OR SOMEONE IN SERVICE TO AN INVITED GUEST ?
“ i hail from a notable house of the crownlands and one which has been steadfast allies of house targaryen dating back to aegon’s conquest . naturally as a lord of house velaryon i partake in the festivities as a loyal and invited guest of the crown . ”
DID YOU ATTEND THE WELCOME FEAST ?
“ of course . ” there had been instances throughout the night where he’d stepped away to clear his head or to escape the multitude of presences from his own house but he’d been there ––– in the thick of it . “ anything else surely would’ve been seen as a slight against the royal family . ”
IF SO , CAN YOU ACCOUNT FOR YOUR WHEREABOUTS DURING THE MURDER ? CAN ANYONE VERIFY THIS ACCOUNT ?
“ i wasn’t aware i was on trial for the murder . ” but he has nothing to hide . “ unlike my siblings i resolved to keep my wits about me . i’d been refusing the refilling of my cup when the kingsguard’s murder was announced . there were a considerable amount of cupbearers at the feast but bring me those who served that night and i could easily point her out for you for she is exactly who could attest to my account . ”
DID YOU SEE , HEAR , OR OVERHEAR ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL IN THE INVESTIGATION ?
“ eavesdropping isn’t my area of expertise nor is it something i tend to engage in . i don’t trouble myself with the affairs of others lest it serve myself or my house .”
WHAT MOTIVE MIGHT SOMEONE HAVE FOR MURDERING A KINGSGUARD ?
“ from an outside perspective it would seem to be to prove a point . if there was ill intent as is being suggested it might’ve been to leave a message . on a personal leave it could’ve been an act committed in a moment of passion . perhaps the crown has enemies or perhaps the enemies belonged solely to the guard . ”
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS MURDER WAS / WILL BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT ? EXPLAIN.
“ it would be nice if that were the case . ” house targaryen had welcomed chaos into the red keep the minute they’d called for the houses that made up the seven to co-exist in a confined space .
IF YOU WERE ASKED TO LAY BLAME UPON ONE OF THE HOUSES RUMORED TO BE NEAR AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER ( STARK , MARTELL , and HIGHTOWER ) , WHO WOULD YOU HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A HEINOUS ACT ?
“ house stark . ” the house had never been fond of having a southron ruler and had for a time successfully resisted targaryen rule . aegon and daenerys united the two kingdoms for humanity’s sake but the north would never truly serve house targaryen . they were an inflexible sort ––– northerners . they keep to tradition and have respect only for their own . accept only their own . “ northerners may be looking to reinstate the title of king in the north . the war is long past and the relative peace we’ve enjoyed is settling like dust . westeros is long overdue for a rebellion and need i remind you which house was the catalyst for our last great rebellion . ”

tfw u dont wanna use a modern picture of richard but this one was the best with the colours sIGH
WHAT IS YOUR FULL NAME ?
“rydan arryn.”
WHAT IS YOUR FULL TITLE / OCCUPATION ?
”the ruling lord of the vale.”
DO YOU HAVE SIBLINGS ?
“i do, perhaps one of the most notable is reyla.”
DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN ? DO YOU WANT THEM ?
“i don’t have any children currently, no. my wife and i are trying to conceive and i do want some.”
DO YOU HAVE A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR FAMILY ?
“yes to all but my father. it was no wonder he’d isolate the entirety of the vale’s loyal houses when he sent all his children, including his heir, to the various cities.”
DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU WOULD DIE FOR ? WHO?
“i would die for my wife, lady morgana, if it came to it.”
DO YOU PUT YOURSELF BEFORE OTHERS , OR OTHERS BEFORE YOURSELF?
“that’s dependent upon the situation. i consider the vale to be part of me and thus, if i can, i will always put the vale’s needs above all else. in any other situation, should i be close to the person or honour demands it, i will put another before me.”
DO YOU LIKE YOURSELF ?
“i’m content with myself. there’s traits and qualities i wish i was exempt from but, at the same time, i believe they’re remedied by the good qualities i have. i doubt anyone can ever truly be satisfied with themselves at the end of the day, not with there being a constant chance for improvement.”
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON ?
“objectively, yes. i believe i’ve done good by restoring the vale to what it once was. but, like before, everyone has things to improve on.”
ARE YOU A VENGEFUL PERSON ?
“i’d like to think not but i’ve learnt the hard way that i very much am.”
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE CAPITAL ?
“i received an invitation for the festivities to celebrate the war’s anniversary.”
WHAT ARE YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF THE RED KEEP ?
“it hasn’t changed since i was young. it’s magnificent, but not as good as the eyrie.”
ARE YOU PARTAKING IN THE FESTIVITIES AS AN INVITED GUEST , OR SOMEONE IN SERVICE TO AN INVITED GUEST ?
“as an invited guest of his grace as ruling lord of the vale and warden of the east.”
WHAT MOTIVE MIGHT SOMEONE HAVE FOR MURDERING A KINGSGUARD ?
“there’re too many to choose from. to make a statement? to be symbolic that on the anniversary of peace something like this should happen? there’s too many possibilities. whatever it is, it was intentional and was meant to cause suspicion.”
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS MURDER WAS / WILL BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT ? EXPLAIN.
“anyone who thinks it’s isolated is a fool. any other knight? perhaps. but a member of the kingsguard is too specific and too close to the king to be an isolated attack. and three houses being seen? three houses is all it took to overthrow the targaryen dynasty before.”
IF YOU WERE ASKED TO LAY BLAME UPON ONE OF THE HOUSES RUMORED TO BE NEAR AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER ( STARK , MARTELL , and HIGHTOWER ) , WHO WOULD YOU HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A HEINOUS ACT ?
“perhaps it’s house martell? i wouldn’t be surprised given the princess they sent away for being too ‘un-dornish’ ended up being more cunning than them all. perhaps it’s a revenge? i can only imagine how annoying it must be to see the one who you claimed to have brought shame on the house become close to his grace. but, really, any of them could.”

WHAT IS YOUR FULL NAME ?
“wylla targaryen, née marbrand.”
WHAT IS YOUR FULL TITLE / OCCUPATION ?
“wylla targaryen of house marbrand, queen consort of the seven kingdoms, lady of casterly rock, light of the west.”
WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS / LOVED ONES CALL YOU ?
“just wylla.”
WHERE WERE YOU BORN ?
“casterly rock.”
DO YOU HAVE SIBLINGS ?
“yes --- leona, lady of clegane keep, and kivan, lord of casterly rock and warden of the west, and jeyne, though she died young.”
DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN ? DO YOU WANT THEM ?
“yes --- my daughter visenya is just a year old. it is my duty to the realm to provide heirs, so yes, i do want more children.”
DO YOU HAVE A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR FAMILY ?
“while many have more fraught relationships with their families, i’m blessed to say my siblings and i are unequivocally close, despite whatever difficulties our lord father and lady mother may have had.”
DO YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY TRADITIONS / MEMORIES THAT YOU VALUE ?
“in my youth, before my mother’s illness, we would often travel to white harbor when the seasons permitted --- there is a joyful sort of freedom one enjoys in the north, particularly as a child, and all kinds of adventures to be had in the city. of course, the same is true of lannisport, but my lord father rarely allowed me leave to go.”
HOW DO YOU TYPICALLY SPEND A DAY ?
“there’s hardly a typical day --- often there are small council meetings to attend, audiences to be held, or else other business of court that keeps me occupied. if i can, whenever i can, i make time to see visenya.”
ARE YOU RELIGIOUS ?
“yes, quite. i was named and raised in the light of the seven, as my ancestors have been for generations.”
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH ?
“i couldn’t say --- i would not be so foolish as to presume i am a skilled tactician, or morally irreproachable, or anything particularly impressive. i suppose my strength is my adaptability, my instinct for self-preservation.”
YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS ?
“fear. the world is a dangerous place, but terror can be paralyzing.”
DESCRIBE A HIDDEN TALENT / LITTLE KNOWN SKILL YOU BELIEVE YOU POSESS.
“well, i’m hardly a skilled sailor, but i’ve spent all my life near the sea, and know enough --- as much as i could learn without my father getting word, that is.”
DO YOU FALL IN LOVE EASILY ?
“i wouldn’t know --- i loved aemon quickly enough, but that has much more to do with him than with my disposition, whatever that may be.”
DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU WOULD DIE FOR ? WHO?
“my daughter. without hesitation.”
DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW.
“there are a great many courses my life could take, and unlike r’hollor’s red priests, i do not presume to know the future. but i hope to have sons, and pray that i will have managed to broker a lasting peace between the crown and the north, to settle the tensions with some finality.”
DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE A SECRETIVE PERSON ?
“all women must be, and a queen even more so.”
IS THERE A SECRET RELATED TO YOU THAT YOU HIDE FROM MOST PEOPLE ?
“yes, there is --- in fact, there may be many.”
DO YOU PUT YOURSELF BEFORE OTHERS , OR OTHERS BEFORE YOURSELF?
“that would depend on the others, wouldn’t it ? i would not sacrifice my life, but i live it in service of my family and the realm, in that order.”
DO YOU LIKE YOURSELF ?
“ ---... at times.”
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON ?
“i believe that, under most circumstances, i have good intentions. that will have to be enough.”
ARE YOU A VENGEFUL PERSON ?
“only proportionally so. i can forgive insults and mistakes, but blood must needs beget blood.”
EVENT / PLOT DROP RELATED QUESTIONS ;
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE CAPITAL ?
“my marriage brought me to the capital six years ago, and i’ve lived here since.”
WHAT ARE YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF THE RED KEEP ?
“my first impression was that it was magnificent --- and terrifying, too. its history is one of blood, and it feels at times it may be more haunted than harrenhal. but it is my home, for better or worse.”
ARE YOU PARTAKING IN THE FESTIVITIES AS AN INVITED GUEST , OR SOMEONE IN SERVICE TO AN INVITED GUEST ?
“i am participating as host, a rather strenuous task given recent events.”
DID YOU ATTEND THE WELCOME FEAST ?
“of course --- it would be terribly unbecoming if i hadn’t.”
IF SO , CAN YOU ACCOUNT FOR YOUR WHEREABOUTS DURING THE MURDER ?
CAN ANYONE VERIFY THIS ACCOUNT ?
“i was dancing, and --- much to my embarrassment --- there were indeed a fair few witnesses.”
DID YOU SEE , HEAR , OR OVERHEAR ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL IN THE INVESTIGATION ?
“not that evening, no --- i had been celebrating with a cup or two or ten of wine, although i’ll admit, i am privy to certain secrets that may cast some suspicion.”
WHAT MOTIVE MIGHT SOMEONE HAVE FOR MURDERING A KINGSGUARD ?
“what motive might anyone have for murder ? men in their cups are prone to bouts of pride and anger, and it may well be that this was merely another such case. but we cannot rest on hope alone, and i fear this may have been the first in a more coordinated, strategic attack on the crown.”
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS MURDER WAS / WILL BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT ? EXPLAIN.
“no. i hope so, of course, but the truth of it is, such a specific attack is highly unlikely to be random. even if it is, events such as this never remain isolated --- someone will seek to turn this to their advantage, one way or another.”
IF YOU WERE ASKED TO LAY BLAME UPON ONE OF THE HOUSES RUMORED TO BE NEAR AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER ( STARK , MARTELL , and HIGHTOWER ) , WHO WOULD YOU HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A HEINOUS ACT ?
“i have lord stark’s assurances that he did not orchestrate the attack, and i take him at his word --- though of course, we can’t rule out one of his bannermen acting alone. although marriage alliances bind me to both the hightowers and the martells, i can’t say with any certainty that they are not responsible. given their histories, however, i am inclined to suspect the martells above all others, even if one is my sister in law.”
