Lord Stark remained in KingвЂ™s Landing, and was immediately proclaimed Hand of the Queen. The rest of 302 had been spent repairing and rebuilding the sacked capital as Daenerys and Jon accustomed themselves to their new home, as well as their new subjects. Doran would never again return to the capital. With that, the armies packed up and went home. As for Doran, he had to agree to never again serve in any capacity on the Small Council, to pay damages and publicly apologize to Lord Stark, and to send his son and heir Quentyn to court to be a ward of the new Queen. Lord Desmond Caswell was able to keep his title and seat, however, and his newly-released son, Lorent, would be allowed to inherit. (Perhaps also the damage to Lord EdmureвЂ™s pride at having been captured). The treacherous Lyddens of Deep Den were forced to forfeit their title to the Lannisters, and the Caswells were forced to give up some pieces of their holdings, as well as to pay reparations to the Tullys for the damage caused by their raiding. In the end, a slew of council appointments, monetary gifts, and land grants confiscated from treasonous enemies (all mainly negotiated with the help of the new Queen, with some advice from Symond, much to his pleasure) sated everyone. The real trouble was between the victors at this point. Prince Doran was obviously negotiating from a position of weakness having been kept under house arrest within the Tower of the Hand since the capture of the city. Peace was settled between the six assembled Lords Paramount within a few weeks of testy negotiations (the six being Eddard Stark, Tywin Lannister, Wallace Arryn, Willas Tyrell, Edmure Tully, and Prince Doran Martell Lords Renly Baratheon and Balon Greyjoy remained aloof from the conflict). Soon after that, the ships out of Gulltown flying the falcon sigil of House Arryn had arrived bearing Jon and Daenerys, escorted by Bronze Yohn Royce and Lord Wallace Arryn. Lord Stark had put an end to the looting and pillaging that Tywin Lannister had allowed his men, and had also taken custody of young Maris. Lord Eddard Stark and his men had proceeded victoriously down the kingsroad thereafter, joining up with the Lannisters and Tyrells at KingвЂ™s Landing a week after the city had fallen to the besiegers. Nine months had passed since the Battle of Greywater Watch had seen the destruction of the Dornish faction (as it had come to be known with no small measure of scorn in the wake of young Maris BaratheonвЂ™s hasty abdication). The lords of the realm were well reconciled to the prospect of her reign. She had won over most everyone sheвЂ™d spent time with, discussing topics ranging from the future of her kingdom to her favorite books. He was struck by the measured stance the Queen took on near everything. Since his arrival at the capital, he had attended the young queen and her husband, Jon Stark, around the clock. Symond eagerly considered himself among them. Daenerys Targaryen - beautiful, charming, intelligent, and just 18-years-old - had begun the process of winning over the assembled lords and commons. Almost every lord from the Seven Kingdoms - barring Prince Doran Martell of Dorne and his closest relatives of course - had come to KingвЂ™s Landing to celebrate the restoration of the Targaryen dynasty to the Iron Throne. The experience was certainly one heвЂ™d long remember, maybe even write about some day for some veritable tome on the rise of House Stark. HeвЂ™d been just a boy when Robert Baratheon had been crowned in 285, and did not have leave to depart the Citadel in 295 or 298 for the coronations of either of his children, Steffon and Maris.

Maester Symond had never attended a coronation before.
