"Which holdings in the Stormlands are most vulnerable?"

Eutimio

Eutimio considers. "House Oridane is weak, but they're already an ally. We may not want to turn against someone who swore us an oath of support."

Old Ways

"I will target only holdings that have done me wrong. I do not attack allies."

"I don't want to attack anyone's lands. Can't we do this through diplomacy and alliances?"

Simon Groat

"Have you ever seen a starving man, my [lord/lady]?" Groat asks. "If this is the Long Night, diplomacy means nothing. Words are wind. You can't eat wind."

Family

"My own people are what matters. We need more lands and more food by any means necessary."

"What will happen to the people of the holdings we annex?"

Rona Grey

"Manage your holdings well and care for them and their smallfolk could survive the winter better than under another lord," Rona says seriously.

Realm

"I will care for any lands I annex. I am the best [lord/lady] to lead them through the winter."

Eutimio nods. "This is why I serve you, my lord. House Oridane will have nothing to fear from us."
Groat nods, but cautions, "Do not reach farther than you can grasp, my [lord/lady]. We cannot risk our own lands being vulnerable to the same kind of attack."
"The smallfolk care little for the name of their [lord/lady]," Rona says. "They only want to be certain they will have bread and fire and soldiers to defend them."
