Jorah listened to her thoughtfully before nodding. "There will be some who refuse mercy and can be used to make terrible examples from. Allowing children to return to their families after years of loyalty will build trust and fealty from them. Harsh judgements on those who are tried and found guilty will not show you as too lenient, especially if you personally watch the executions." He said. "In King's landing there is a headsman, I know that in the North the Lord of Winterfell personally executes those condemned. These are things for you to consider before you have to face them." He explained. These were the harder things of ruling during war. He wanted her to have some time to consider what path she would take.

He hesitated for a moment at her words, "For men in that position it is difficult. To do the right thing, they would rush their wives and children. They might do things from within or drag their feet to action. The best they could hope for is to defect during a skirmish and hide within our camps until their liege lords have been defeated and we can rescue their families. It would be safer for their liege lords to think them dead than turncoats." He warned her. Certain lesser lords had oaths that came first, or risk getting their entire family killed in the process.
