Viserys Is Captured in Lys

A Prince Abroad Captivity Becomes Opportunity Viserys survives the destruction of the fleet and is held by a Lyseni magister. His education and treatment are better than the circumstances suggest. Marriage to Larra Lysandro Rogare marries him to Larra, turning a captive prince into a potential link between Lys and the Iron Throne.

A Rogare Alliance

Lys Enters the Court A Prince Comes Home Alyn Oakenfist negotiates Viserys’s release and accepts extensive financial and political terms from the Rogares. Foreign Influence Larra’s family arrives in Westeros with wealth, guards, and interests in trade. Their influence grows while the king remains young and the court divided.

The Bank Expands

Wealth and Influence Prosperity in the Capital Rogare money helps trade flourish in King’s Landing and other ports. The bank’s success gives its family access to noble and royal circles. A Foreign Power Center Lysandro’s family gains influence in Lys and Westeros, provoking suspicion about how much authority belongs to the crown or its creditors.

The Bank Collapses

A Financial Panic Depositors Demand Gold Rumors that the bank is unsound trigger withdrawals. Lysaro cannot meet demands and has already diverted funds for political ambition. The Family Falls Lysaro flees, the bank is exposed as empty, and creditors seize Rogare property. The financial crisis reaches Westeros and destabilizes the royal court.

Arrests in King’s Landing

The Rogares Lose Protection Political Blame Lotho and Roggerio are arrested as the court searches for those responsible for financial losses and suspected plots. A Family Scattered Lysandro’s children face imprisonment, trial, exile, or financial ruin. The dynasty’s rapid rise gives way to a rapid political dismantling.
