Rylon hill pov: It was an ordinary day working the docks listening to everyone curse the dam Greyjoys for burning the port and raiding like the cowards they are or making jokes about how quickly they failed the rebellion when the other great lords reacted, not much of a surprise when you think about it but then a strange sort of silence descend on the dock when he looked where everyone was looking there was a gargantuan ship without sails. Made in a design he had never seen before with wood and metal interlocked. Metal to build a ship just image it. Despite its size it moved faster than sails or rowing men continuously spewing white smoke from 3 large metal drums in the middle. The loud city bells of lannisport rang and Rylon snapped back to his senses.

Mc pov: I had to resist the urge to jump on land and cry about the hardships suffered at sea. I outwardly kept an aloof demeanor as I was surrounded by 10 massive men in silver power armor the rest stayed on the ship. The dock was absolutely packed with the unwashed masses who had come out to stare at the ship or me probably both. Sebas went to great the local noble while I looked around at the decent architecture but terrible plumbing it's not just kings landing that has sewage problems it would seem probably only Old town and some Castles of great lords would not have such a problem in the seven kingdoms. I also noticed the recent reconstruction it would seem I missed the Greyjoys rebellion good that means there's no Disruption in food or pirate ships all over now. Ah Sebas calls.

Jeremy lanister pov: looking at the boy dressed in fine but foren clothes with a blindfold 'blind perhaps' enclosed by 10 men that reminded me of the mountain but suited in more exquisite armor and swords I couldn't help but feel exited they're most likely wealthy and from a place I've never heard of but clearly also very dangerous.

This was reinforced when the oldest of the group approached. He had Grey hair and beard that was immaculately kept and steel Grey eyes sharper than valyrian steel. "I Greet you in the name of the prince of the Holy Empire of Britannia Gojo Satoru you can address me as Lord Sebas the head guardian of the prince. Am I correct in assuming this is the land of Westeros."

It took me a few seconds to analyze the information but I swiftly answered "Yes you are indeed currently in Lannisport in the Westerlands one of the seven kingdoms if I might ask more about yourselves and the reason for your visit ?" lord Sebas turned is head to the young prince with a blindfold and spoke in their strange language. Shortly after the prince addressed me in fluent common." I have come to the Seven kingdoms for seeds and animals of interest not found in my homeland as well as any useful knowledge or books then I shall return to the empire as we need to make it back before the storms start. As for my nation even if I were to explain it you will likely think of it as fantasy or the exaggeration of a child but the closest I can compare it to that you should know of would be Valeria"

Looking at the ships and knights I had to agree their technology seemed like it was something Valeria was capable of good thing there weren't any dragons with them. However this might all be a plot or scheme of some kind as I've never heard of anything to the West much less a whole empire it could be trying to make Lord Tywin spend more on rebuilding the lanister fleet and drawing attention away from something else it's still a small possibility however as the ship and people are very real and very strange. It's still best to treat it as reality for now though.

Now to work on increasing the benefits for myself and Lanisport as I have no doubt the spy's have already sent reports half way to the wall by now and I don't have the political pull to do much however Lord Tywin would likely want more information and good relations if everything about this new factor in the game is true. I can sell information no give information freely and sell any animals grain we have stored in the city if that doesn't catch there eye I will recommend the westerlands for produce as house Lanister doesn't need more trade heading up to High garden . "My lord's might we negotiate in my office after lunch as you must be tired from your journey and the docks aren't the best place for guests such as yourselves."

Sigh what a pain that guy he had us in meetings and banquets for 3 days in that time I had to squeeze out of beauty traps, politics and fake or real sympathy from from those who thought I was blind. Luckily we managed to get away before Tywin or other lord's arrived to get a piece of us. I traded for some of the ports food supplys, different seeds such as wheat and barley that over time can be Cultivated to make them produce more and survive better on our islands environment. I also got a bunch of animals luckily the ship was big enough to not smell them Constantly just most of the time. With that we set off on a relatively swift journey to our final destination on this little trip Old Town.
