[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 9510086, member: 7025508"] Well, at some points Winterfell was a royal residence. I think especially for earlier medieval periods it is pretty appropriate imagining of a king's castle, and certainly much closer to what I would imagine to see in typical D&D world than Buckingham Palace, built at the turn of the 18th century. Also, I really do not get what was controversial about what [USER=205]@TwoSix[/USER] said. Seemed like a perfectly valid action declaration, though one that is far from guaranteed to lead to the desired results. But depending the fame, stations and social skills of the character it could work. Unless we are talking about super tiny petty kingdom where the king is just a glorified baron, it would probably take several steps, at least first convincing the guards at the gate to let you to see someone who can actually arrange an audience with the king (seneschal, vizier, or some other court official) and then get that person to take you to see the king. Or alternatively if the courtier has enough authority, you might actually get them to do whatever you wanted from the king. I certainly could see the rogue in my game with persuasion of 12 and reliable talent, as well as reputation as a giant and dragon slayer being able to do this!
