Young Wolf's Journey: Chapter 17 discussion (Patreon)
Content
With Robb's decision made as to his journey to the Wall after his formal coronation, I think we turn to the coronation itself now. I'm unsure if this chapter should be Robb & co welcoming guests into the city only and the coronation itself is saved for the following chapter, or if it should all be in one. Regardless, I think this is a chance to have him interact with people outside of the usual subjects/from around the Seven Kingdoms.
Some potential ideas I have for this chapter:
-Arianne Martell arrives in person on behalf of Dorne and her father. Maybe her father has confided in her about his plans and she shares them with Robb; maybe he's kept his daughter in the dark; or maybe she does know what Doran plans to do, but doesn't tell Robb about them. Either way, it could be a prime opportunity for Robb to meet Arianne, and perhaps she joins the king and queen in their chambers for a royal threesome.
-Like in canon with the royal wedding, it's Oberyn who shows up representing Dorne. He thanks Robb for dispatching Tywin and pledges Dorne's loyalty to the new king. Robb might not necessarily take him at his word, but he and Margaery do have an enjoyable night with Oberyn's paramour Ellaria Sand while the Red Viper himself explores the Street of Silk on his own.
-Catelyn comes for the coronation, and Arya comes with her so she can see Robb again. Sansa may or may not choose to come; she might prefer to stay in Winterfell after finally escaping King's Landing.
-Someone from the Vale turns up, and perhaps Robb learns that Littlefinger has married his Aunt Lysa?
Those are some ideas I've come up with, but as always, I encourage you to share any thoughts you might have, whether they're related to the coronation or something else. If there's something you'd like to see in this period/something you think should happen, let me know.
