The Reach

History

The Reach is a very old and very distinguished kingdom. True to the troops that they use, The Reach is a land that takes pride in its Knights and chivalrous values, it being a land of relative peace. Most of the Knights are from very rich families and can afford heavy suits of plated armor embroidered with the sigil of House Tyrell. The knights of The Reach like to pride themselves on their virtues and try their best to maintain a good appearance so not to embarrass their family, at least most do anyways. The reach used to be owned by another powerful family that fought against the Targaryens during the wars of conquest. However, their bannermen the Tyrells, decided not to fight against the Targaryens once their king was dead. For their act of "loyalty" to the crown, they were given Highgarden and named the wardens of the south, instantly rising to become one of the most powerful families in The Reach. Under the Tyrells The Reach began to prosper and rely on trade for most of their gold and power, quickly rising to become one of the most powerful kingdoms in the land.

Location

The Reach is one of the major factions in Westeros in the mod AWOIAF. They are bordered by Dorne to the south, The Westerlands to the north, and The Stormlands to the east. The Reach is one of the oldest, and most powerful kingdoms. Producing almost as most food as The Riverlands they are able to sell to The Westerlands for a good price, making them extremely rich in the time of war. The only kingdom that is richer than The Reach is The Westerlands due to their vast gold mines and reserves. The Reach is a very flat and fertile plains for the most part, with lush green grass and fertile black soil coating the entire region. Because of their terrain The Reach is a perfect place to make large farms and cities, most of the cities overlapping large bodies of water or rivers.

Religion

The Westerlands worship the Seven Faced God, more commonly referred to as the faith of the seven.

Members of the Faith worship the Seven Who Are One, a single deity with seven aspects or faces. For the less educated, however, this concept is often difficult to grasp, causing them to often believe that there are indeed seven different gods. Depending on their need, worshipers pray to specific faces of the Seven.

The Reach specializes in heavy cavalry and medium infantry. The Reach does have the best cavalry forces in the game, as they are the best armored and most skilled, making them excellent for smashing through enemy lines. They Reach has practically no archers, as they only have one troop tree for them and they are not very good compared to the other kingdoms. This means that The Reach gets their strength in flat field battles rather than sieges, their cavalry working perfectly with the flat landscape surrounding their lands. It is advisable to mount a full cavalry charge against your enemy as quickly as possible, after you have smashed through their formations you will want to tell them to wait off to the side and then mount another charge. It is advisable to constantly do this.

Recruiting units from The Reach

In order to recruit Reach units from villages you own as an independent kingdom you will need to select a Reach race on character creation. Reach units can be recruited from villages regardless of player status unless they are hostile to The Reach. Additional ways to recruit Reach units is to rescue them from enemy lords parties, find them in taverns, or rescue them from enemy garrisons.

+==The Reach==
-Dragonstone is one of the major factiond found within Westeros, and is lead by King Stannis Baratheon of House Baretheon. King Stannis is one of the claiments to the Iron Throne.<br>
-Their sigil is a crowned black stag within a fiery red heart. Their official motto is "Ours is the Fury," the words of House Baratheon.<br>
-Their map colour is Blood Orange
 ==History==
-Dragonstone was established as a castle after the Targaryens first landed in Westeros, it being their first major stronghold in the area. The castle of Dragonstone is known as being an impregnable fortress that can be held with very few men, and as such makes for a great capital for a future king. When Aegon the Conqueror established himself as an independent monarch and launched his campaigns against the other kingdoms, he used Dragonstone as his base of operations and staged their attacks from inside of there. The castle itself happens to have a full map of Westeros built into a table. The kingdom of dragonstone was established when Stannis Baratheon declared Independence from the crown and made himself an official monarch vying for the crown to unite all of Westeros. The area surrounding Dragonstone is filled with small peninsulas and islands that each have their own castles and villages with lords to rule over them, making it ideal for each ruler to field his own army. Perhaps this explains why Dragonstone has not been attacked by an enemy kingdom yet, due to its natural defenses. Their current ruler believes himself to be a reincarnation of some ancient hero, someone who is supposed to save the world from an age old darkness that threatens to overtake all light. He is the first Westerosi monarch to worship the lord of light R'hllor. If you listen closely in the dead of night some say you can hear the screams of those who have been burned as sacrifices to this lord, and they say if you look out over the ocean you can see the smoke from burned flesh rising into the air.

 ==Location==
-Dragonstone is one of the the major factions in Westeros. Dragonstone is located right above The Stormlands and to the right of The Westerlands. Because they are located on an island for the most part, this makes battle against dragonstone quite difficult as they tend to have the advantage on the sea. Due to their location on the sea and their islands, the kingdom of Dragonstone has great defenses. They also have a city located at the bottom of Stormland territory and a few castles located in the middle of Stormland territory. Dragonstone is a massive supplier of fish and salt because of their location on islands in the sea. They also suffer from not having as many cities as some of the other kingdoms. Dragonstone is mainly a military force rather than an agricultural power. As their king is a great general and leader he is very respected among his subjects, however he is not very charismatic and suffers from a lack of support.

-Dragonstone uses a wide array of troops that are pretty balanced. However they specialize in medium armored infantry and medium armored shock cavalry. Because Dragonstone has good medium infantry units they are best used in sieges and protecting archers on the field. In a field battle it is advisable to send your Dragonstone cavalry slamming through the enemies infantry in order the break their formation, and then charge your infantry through the crippled infantry and archers. Though, A good way to combat Dragonstone units is by having your archers gain the high ground and fire down upon them. Westerland crossbowmen seem to do a good job of this.
