I think Littlefinger is a necessary evil though. He literally sparks 2 wars, unless he puts himself in the role by controlling things in the dark, he needs the realm destabilized to rise to power in the future, doing so is also dangerous, although leaving Peter alive may also be a risk. I am really looking forward to what the author is going to do!

If not wrong he should have about a 1000 men. The barbarian house seems like a sort of confederacy if I understood correctly. As for Ashara being a good love interest is true, but I don't think it should bring Dorne into the fold (at most Starfall and some western regions perhaps?), as Robert or Tywin would have Ellia's children killed no matter what, MC can save and hide them maybe (or only Ellia), that would grant good will but it is very likely that his brother would spoil that in whatever way he could. It seems, however, counterproducing saving anyone considering he expressed his desire to be King in the end at the beginning of the novel and that to save Ashara he would have to come close to Aerys in full mambo-killer mode and to save Targaryen inclined people unless you wipe the family is like creating problems for you in the future. Even then I also think Ashara is the best match, as the rest make no sense: with Cersei being a probable ******uous lunatic by then already (and with Tywin wanting her to be queen is kinda hard unless he makes a run for kingship), Lyanna being necessary for plot reasons to begin the war, and the Tully's well... being Tully's. Another possible match may be in House Lefford of the Golden Tooth in the Westerlands that I think has a daughter of famed beauty in them by that time as well? and could have the potential to put the house's of the West against the Lannister tyranny in the future if played well.

Dropped?

Makes sense, though a fully loyal organization is unrealistic in my opinion taking into account how the novel is going thus far. He does not have magic or anything similar to make sure everyone is loyal (contracts/mind magic, and using children all the time to form spies is a long term thing). I would go however for Core loyal people that he places in the most important positions. This way it is more realistic and takes into account the maximum number of human interaction of about 200 people per person, over whom he'll have complete/semicomplete control and the rest are just your average character or secondary character capable of betrayal. Yes, betrayals should still be a thing in my opinion, as it is a mayor feature of a scheming novel and Game of Thrones. All this, however, is up to author. Great job thus far by the way.

Keep it up, great job thus far!
