Chapter Text
Storm's End
It took me seven days of traveling via king's road to reach my destination. I was greeted by my uncle Renly, his squire Loras Tyrell and maester Jurne when I arrived.
I can decribe Storm's End as a huge castle surrounded by a massive outer curtain wall about one hundred feet high. It has only one tower, a colossal drum tower crowned with formidable battlements, making it look like a huge, spiked fist thrusting towards the sky from afar. The tower is so large that it comfortably contains the granary, barracks, armory, feast hall, and lord's chambers all at once.
And from what i read in books, the castle is said to be protected by spells woven into its very walls that prevent magic from affecting it or passing through it. I think it a westeros version of sealing techniques so itching to explore this place.
----------‐----------------------
They are only few more years before the events from the show starts. I need to start planning. I need to think of a way that I put up a fight against the white walkers, dragons and other opposing forces. I need to orchestrate in building an army that is loyal to me to be able to control the situation. The army is going to be needing food, equipments and weapons. The army will be needing a steady flow of coins.
That is why I plan to develop Stormlands in earning more coin. Also in helping my vassal became more sucessful, the more I can earn their loyalty. Maybe I can convince my uncle in making me heir of storm's end while he still not married.
Afters moons of exploring and learning more abouts Stormland and here's what I discovered.
The Stormlands are not super rich but they aren't poverty stricken either. Their land is fairly fertile. Not as fertile as the Reach but probably better than much of the North. It has some pretty big villages but no actual cities. But they were always a strong region militarily.
My uncle was young when he became lord paramount. His parents was gone and his brothers was busy on their own lands so they no one is really guiding him well. He also likes to spend lavishly on banquets. I was able to persuade my uncle in helping him manage the land by showing him some of ideas that can help storm's end earn more coin.
The only shipping port, we have is on Weeping town on sea of dorne. It will days to travel there so I was planning on construct a shipping port right here in Storm's end. The problem is the Storm's end lacks a safe anchorage because of wild waters and dangerous rocks in Shipbreaker Bay.
This issue can be solve by earth jutsu. I can put like a sea wall between Tarth and Cape wrath and destroy some of those dangerous rock. I will need to add seal on the seawall so it could withstand powerful waves.
Since the bay will be safer than before, the fishermen can catch more fish that I can trade. I will also will invest in building a stone quarry since storm's end is a rocky area. There are also lot of trees here so I can use for building ships and I can import the excess.
There is a ship design that I remember from my life as shikako. It was a mission in protecting a cargo ship at the Land of the sea. I recalled the I was studying the blueprint of ship to know it's vulnerabilities. The captain also taught me how to sail just incase anything happen, I can still deliver the cargo.
I will have to educate farmers about crop rotation so they can produce more yield. Maybe I can find a way on enrich the soils here through fuinjutsu but that's on hold cause I not sure it will work. I know potatoes can grow on rocky soil, perhaps I should introduced vodka.
Roads are also important. It will help in faster travelling and transporting goods from one place to another.
‐---------------------------------
In succeding moons of building and constructing. I was ready to lauch my new ship called Storm breaker.
Storm breaker is a large multi-decked sailing ship. I carved some fuinjutsu on this ship with no one noticing to make more durable and lightweight. I also add a build in compass at helm.
Captain Bryce Strom will be leading my first trading expedition. I personally taught captain Bryce with some loyal sailors. I also instructed them some manuever I know just incase pirate attack. I use transformation jutsu into Kakashi sensei with an eye patch to prevent from anyone knowing what I am capable of. And beside nobody will believe a little girl.
My uncle held a banquet for me. Inviting our vassals and my family for the lauching ceremony. I still remember the skepticism on his face when I told them to build a port.
Flashback
We are at my uncle solar with maester Jurne, when my uncle said "So niece you are planning to build a port here at shipwrecker's bay?" he was looking at maester Jurne with disbelieving face. "Do you know it was called a shipwrecker's bay a reason, it wreck ships and my mother and father's ship sank there."
"But uncle have been seen the bay recently?, the waters have been calmer and some of the dangerous rocks is gone." I said, what my uncle doesn't know that I was already starting to build the seawall in secret. " I even heard from smallfolks that it is safer to fish now. They proclaiming it as Gift From The Gods."
" A gift from gods" he scoffs "Is this true, maester Jurne?" My uncle face still in disbelief.
"So this is a oppurtunity for us to earn more coin" I said before maester Jurne could answer " I need to look into it however if the bay is really calmer building a shipping port will be a sound move."
