If I were Robert Baratheon, Jaime Lannister would be going to the Wall to go be a ranger, while suggesting to Tywin that if Tywin remains in my favor at some point down the line I might give him a royal pardon.
Blount, Trant, and Moore would be out. They’re all disloyal, incompetent, and evil. Greenfield and Oakheart have flaws, but they’re neither of them actively evil people. So unless I have a better pick, I’d probably keep them.
The key to the rest (keep in mind, we’re definitely keeping Ser Barristan, so we’ve got six slots to work with) is combining regional diversity with competence and loyalty:
- From the Riverlands: the Blackfish is a good pick – honors House Tully, he’s an excellent soldier and solid adviser, unlikely to inherit and wouldn’t mind the celibacy.
- From the Stormlands, I’d go with either Ser Rolland Storm (to honor the Carons) or Ser Bonifer Hasty (religious, wouldn’t mind the celibacy).
- From the Vale: Lyn Corbray might have the fighting chops but is completely untrustworthy, so Robar Royce or
Mychel Redfort instead.
