The State of the Realm serves to give a summary of what the current state of, well, the realm looks like.
The Crownlands[]
Current Lord: King Velaryon
The Vale[]
Current Lord: Lord Artys Arryn
The geographic placement if House Arryn allows them the benefit of neutrality once more - a status quo they've often defaulted to in the past. Few know which side they'll favor this time.
The North[]
Current Lord: Lord Stark
House Stark is ever so loyal to the Crown, yet has not forgotten the scars of the last wars, and disobedience of some of their vassals.
The Riverlands[]
Current Lord: Lord Tully
While House Tully remains loyal to their rightful rightful liege, whether their bannermen shall show the same amount of dedication to follow their cause is a point of debate.
The Westerlands[]
Current Lord: Lord Lannister
House Lannister has been slighted by the Crown again, and again, with the Lions participating in conflicts with the Velaryons at every given opportunity. Perhaps this time, the wealth of the Westerlands will triumph.
The Reach[]
Current Lord: Lord Tyrell
House Tyrell remains a staunch supporter of Velaryon rule, yet their demense is big, the ambitions of their vassals ever-changing.
The Stormlands[]
Current Lord: Lord Baratheon
An ally of Lord Robin Darklyn, House Baratheon fought alongside the lion to force the tyrant Maelor to heel. They are no friend to the boy king who sits the Iron Throne, though have vested interest in Lord Staedmon's position on the Regency Council.
Principality of Dorne[]
Current Prince: Prince Martell
House Martell is unquestionable in their loyalty to the Crown, and their vassals follow suit, mostly.
