game of thrones fanfic
You have chosen to gamble on your Aunt's loyalty to her family. Although she has chosen an isolationist approach to the war, you hope that you can coax her into sending some troops your way. In addition to providing manpower, should the war go badly, you can always retreat behind the impenetrable Gates of the Moon and fight another day. However, this is a very delicate matter, since your aunt has a difficult personality, and you will need an envoy that can persuade her to join your cause.
You could send your mother. Lady Catelyn is usually very good at convincing truculent nobles to act in your interest. In this case, Lysa may be the exception since their strained relationship may actually be a hindrance to an alliance. It could really go either way.
Or you could send your uncle, Edmure. It would give him an important role at a time when he feels overlooked and since Lysa seems to be fond of him, your argument for family first would have more weight, as Edmure is the heir to Riverrun and the de-facto leader of the Riverlands. He could also do more harm than good, since your uncle is known to make decisions from his heart rather than his head, unlike your mother.
What will you do?
