Jorah chuckled as he gave a slow nod of his head. "Something else to consider is how you will treat those who surrender after defying you. An honorable route is to take some of the children as 'hostages' to serve in our house. Another is to give the older ones an option of taking the black instead of facing a trial. Those are both traditions that the North honors and has upheld since the days of the first men. It would show you as a just leader who is willing to reconcile those who go against you and will offer them a fair trial. Actions such as those will win you the heart of the people and lesser lords quickly. Many of them will be forced to fight because of old family ties, but will happily beg your forgiveness once they have the opportunity." He said. He doubted her brother would even entertain such leniency.
