[QUOTE="Maester Luwin, post: 3330840, member: 23259"] Hey everyone! Here is the meeting between Lord Artos & Septon Heward (& where Lord Artos will need the Old Gods & the New to get him out of this one!) Thanks Maester Luwin Septon Heward waited for Lord Artos' return. He knew Artos had gone to check on his prisoner. The Septon wanted to discuss the possible union between the Lord & Lady Ismerria Manderly. He knew that Artos would no doubt be wary of the proposal. If only he could state all the benefits of such a union. A small holdfast as well as a ship named The Maiden of the Sea as dowry but this alone would not be enough the Septon knew. However, Ser Brandel had offered his support & that of his twenty men-at-arms for now & promises of ships/ men from his father, Lord Manderly. This would be of more import to the implacable lord. Then there was Lady Ismerria herself. A beautiful woman, who would be wise council as well. Not to mention that measure of respectability he would gain having a proper wife (coupling with a wildling – Mother’s mercy!). Ismerria was not only a proper lady but was also of the proper faith. There was hope that the crone would one day touch Lord Artos with the wisdom of proper faith! If not the Lord then perhaps the children they would have together (his bastard was too entrenched in the Old Faith the Septon knew). It was not long when the good Septon heard the footfalls of the implacable lord. Lord Artos was aware of the Septon when he reached the top of the stairs. I’m in no mood for conversation he thought.
