A Stark New Robb Si
This version of Robb will know about the secret entrance into Casterly Rock, as revealed by Tyrion on the way to the Wall. He would also know, of course, of all the betrayals heading his way.
I've had this idea stuck in my head ever since I re-read "A Song of Ice and Fire" and watched the "Game of Thrones" TV show. I share the frustration many felt with the last few seasons, especially regarding the character development of specific individuals and families, while others seemed to receive an unrealistic amount of attention and advantages.
Specifically, I'm referring to how the Lannisters received immense hate but also an unusual amount of fortune. They lasted much longer than they should have, particularly after Tywin's death. There should have been nothing keeping them together, especially not Cersei Lannister, who almost everyone in that world disliked, unless they were romantically involved with her, yet even then, many still held resentment.
Conversely, the Starks were destroyed far too easily by individuals like Walder Frey and Roose Bolton, who were effectively Lannister puppets for no good reason. Considering that Robb had already defeated more than 30,000 Lannister men, And no one truly knew that the Vale wasn't going to help him just that they haven't yet especially since he had blood ties Robb had three Of the Seven Kingdoms and four considering that Theon the heir to the Iron Islands was his best friend and grew up with him until Baylon Greyjoy made a stupid decision that also made no sense There would be no way that Walder Frey the coward he is would take such a terrible chance and trust the Lannisters A house he really despised because of how they looked down on him literally goes against his character Also Roose Bolton who's supposed to be incredibly smart and devious also would not choose that time to attack considering How close his own house was to going extinct with only two of his line left one being himself and the other a crazy bastard He would not risk that.
Additionally, I found it nonsensical that Balon Greyjoy attacked the North. There was a reason he didn't attack the North during his first rebellion against the Seven Kingdoms. It wasn't just because the North lacked a fleet, but also because they were impoverished, with no resources except timber and some furs. During his second attempt, there was still nothing to gain from attacking the North. I understand his character isn't meant to be particularly intelligent. Still, his lords likely wouldn't support another rebellion against the Seven Kingdoms, especially one that targeted another kingdom currently in Rebellion, especially when the Lannisters, with the most valuable land, had literally no army to defend their land, and the other most valuable area, the Reach, had its army marching out of its lands.
Robb Stark was a charismatic and though inexperienced leader in diplomatic means, could have easily been helped if the Reach chose to marry Margaery to Rob Stark, the son of Eddard Stark, the most honorable man in Westeros, to defeat the evil Lannisters, thus letting Margaery be queen and have a good Honorable Wolf King.
Anyway rant aside I'm making this story for myself and others who feel similarly I'm also trying to form a better habit of writing and reading because it's therapeutic and helps me understand others I hope you guys will give it a chance and enjoy.
