Game of Thrones: King of Harrenhal, starting with a blue hand stat panel

Back at Harrenhal, Arthur returned to his study in the Tower of the Burning King.

A yellow banner with black bats on a background, belonging to the He'an family, hangs on the stone wall of the study, while candles provide light.

Arthur looked at the bat flag.

"I'm going to wipe out the heads of this Greyjoy rebellion; even the Drowned God can't hold back those Ironborn."

The seven men who distinguished themselves in quelling the Iron Islands rebellion were Robert, Eddard, Stannis, Pexel Redwyn, Earl Jason, Jorah Mormont the Great, and Soros of Myr.

Army generals look at Robert Ed.

Although Sir Barristan was also in charge of a portion of the army, he was not the main force.

Naval commanders Stannis and Parker jointly commanded the Grand Fleet.

For the Warriors, watch Big Bear and Red Monk; for the Warriors in a one-on-one fight, watch Jason.

After that, Da Xiong won the martial arts tournament championship, as if he had cheated.

The Lannistersport fleet was burned to the ground, with Tywin Lannister merely sitting behind the young man as a figurehead.

In the Riverlands, only Earl Jason stood out; most of the other lords were lackluster and only managed to get a participation score.

At the Lannesport tournament celebrating victory after the war, Big Bear defeated Earl Jason, a descendant of old Frey, and Earl of River Ann.

These families were all vassals who sent troops, but their performance was unremarkable.

The army in the Riverlands was not even seen with Horst and his son Edmure. Old Horst was in poor health and worried about his son's abilities, and Edmure was not involved.

If Arthur were to enter the fray, he would need to secure a share of the victory for himself.

Those disheartened royalist losers needed a warrior.

It was already getting late when the scholar brought new news.

"The raven brings news from Starfall City. Earl Alan Dayne has extended an invitation to you to visit Starfall City," said Tosmü, the maester of the River House, as he entered the room.

Count Alain is also quite saddened, as he and his wife currently live alone with their youngest sister, Ariadne.

A visitor from afar can also help dispel some of the gloom surrounding the fallen star city.

"Okay." Arthur took the letter; the wax seal had a sword and a shooting star symbol on it.

Sir Lucas had already told Arthur about this beforehand, and Arthur had been prepared for it.

Arthur never served any other lord as a squire or adopted son, like Edmure Tully or Robb Stark.

Most feudal lords would send their children away for further education, while others would keep their children by their side.

The Riverside and Dane families have a good relationship, and this visit would help enhance the friendship between the two families, so why not?

"Count Walter is already aware of the contents of this letter, and the Count asked me to ask you about it again." Scholar Thomas has been serving in Harrenhal and is also an insider of the Count of Harrenhal.

Many scholars were like this; after serving in the castle for a long time, they were completely regarded as part of the castle and the lord's family.

In the original story, Maester Thorsmus served the House of Hearn throughout his life, and after Lady Sheila fled, he served Tywin Lannister, before being killed by Roose Bolton.

Arthur also considered the allocation model for the academy cities, and some special academy cities might be carefully arranged.

Most castle scholars are assigned randomly, and the city doesn't pay much attention to them.

Scholars from Harrenhal and Dragonstone belong to this category, somewhat similar to being exiled.

One is cursed, the other is too barren.

There's also the grueling task of traversing the Great Wall, which can be deadly.

Arthur read the contents of the letter carefully.

Count Aran's letter was written in fluent and beautiful language, warmly inviting Arthur to travel to Starfall City.

"Scholar Dossmü, please send a reply to Starfall City. First, express your gratitude to Earl Alan; I intend to visit Starfall City next year."

"Yes, Master Arthur." Scholar Dossmus nodded.

Since it's a castle, they are essentially a community of shared interests.

As the restoration of Harrenhal progressed smoothly, Maester Thomas was also pleased.

Harrenburg has come to life again, no longer in that melancholy and sorrowful state.

"Any other important letters?" Arthur asked.

Maester Thormus shook his head: "The only thing worth worrying about is King's Landing. Riverrun is usually peaceful. Apart from the birth of Prince Joffrey Baratheon in King's Landing, there's also the birth of Lady Sansa Stark in Winterfell."

Flowing City is too quiet.

In the city, there were only two bachelors, Horst and Edmure.

If you add the blackfish who exiled himself to the valley, the Tully family would have three bachelors.

Although Edmund was also a womanizer, he never got engaged.

Horst had been searching for a suitable marriage for Edmure, rejecting the requests from the Frey and Brecken families, and had been waiting patiently ever since.

Arthur nodded. "The family has prepared appropriate gifts for both of these matters."

Joffrey and Sansa were born in the same year, not much different from each other.

"Yes."

The birth of an "heir" is a major event. Robert doesn't know he is the Green Deer yet, and probably only a few people and Varys know.

The princes of the seven kingdoms also sent generous gifts to the little prince.

As for Sansa, there was a bit of an awkward situation between them.

But they are still relatives, so she'll let it go on for the sake of appearances; Caitlin hasn't forgotten this relative.

Caitlin is physically in the North but her heart is in the South. Her children all want to marry into the South, and she is not a pure Northern native.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Arthur saw the scholar off.

Arthur had already planned the route to Starfall City: starting from Harrenhal by land, then turning onto the sea after reaching Old Town, and finally arriving at Starfall City.

Arthur then returned to his desk and began looking at the simple map of Harrenhal that he had drawn.

Centered around Shenyan Lake.

The towns of Shenyan on the south bank of Shenyan Lake, the towns of Helen, Helenburg, and Qingshou Manor on the north bank of Shenyan Lake, and the Third New Whitewall City on the east bank of Shenyan Lake are all simply marked.

There's even further afield, in the town of Earl Harlowe, Farmer's Castle.

These all fall within the range where radiation is possible.

Arthur picked up his pen again and began writing on the map.

First, sweet corn and carrots.

This is a fine product from Harrenburg.

There is also milk and wine, which are still centered around the Third New Whitewall City.

Second, the talent pool.

Arthur's squires were Veri, Lucas, and Sir Lucas of Starfall City.

These people are all core confidants.

If they continue, it means poaching people from within their own territory, from among the hired knights.

Third, the River Longbowmen.

Fourth, the Shenyan Lake Fleet.

Arthur looked at the map with satisfaction; the four rings were interlocked.

After a series of combined attacks, Harrenhal's strength will gradually recover to a new level.

Beyond these four groups, Arthur added another new word: dragon egg, the fifth setting.
