Currently in dock at Tyrosh as the main bulk of the fleet masses, the Iron Imperator was the flagship given to Harwyn upon his appointment to Lord Captain by Killion, and now serves as the spearhead of his retribution. A monstrosity of wood and metal painted to resemble the dull grey of iron, the crew that sails it is arguably the best in the world.

Before setting out for war, Quentyn made his way to the Imperator, looking for Harwyn.
"She's a beauty." he told the Lord Captain by way of a greeting, looking over the ship and running his hand over a railing. The admiration lasted only a moment before switching over the business. "Given any thought to how we'll divide the fleet up?"

Harwyn grinned at his fellow captain, admiring his own ship for a moment. "We will sail with our entire force to Oldtown, both to show our enemies that they have waged the wrong war, and to ensure nothing will ever grow on that land again. After that, one fifth of the fleet will be yours, enough to stay mobile but put up a fight if needed."

"A fifth? How generous." He replied, chuckling. "As I see it, my mandate from our dear queen includes taking the fight to Lannisport and Highgarden. I'll need more than that."

Harwyn chuckled in return, resting his hands on the railing. "You are a raider, not a commander, or Lord Captain. Any assault on Lannisport, or Highgarden, would be a slaughter. Oldtown burns first, and then you do what you do best, sowing terror and death. Any siege during the war will be under my command unless our Queen personally deems otherwise. At the time of our good King's demise, I was Lord Captain of half of the Iron Fleet, and he Lord Captain of the other half. Until that vacancy is filled, that leaves me in command of our armies and fleets, and it is the Queen's order that placed me in this position. You will have one fifth, and you will raid."

Quentyn raised his hands, hoping to placate Harwyn. "I don't mean to start a fight. We have more pressing matters to tend to." He paused for a moment, leaning on the railing and staring out to sea. "I'm no historian. Has there ever been a Queen Regent of the Iron Islands? Much less a Targaryen one?"

Harwyn took a deep breath for a moment, scratching his beard. "Sorry, recent events have me a bit tense. To answer the question; no. There never has been, Targaryen or otherwise. It seems that our Islands are leaving the Old Ways farther behind by the day."

(The game is done guys. Your vampyr king was about to resurrect from the dead and chew you both out anyways.)

"Should they be?"

"In my opinion? No, they shouldn't be. The Old Ways worked for generations, and there is no reason to change. We were powerful and feared long before the dragons came along."

"Then mayhaps it would be in our young king's best interests - and those of the Islands - if he were raised knowing the Old Way. Rather than the Targaryen way."

"Perhaps so, but for now, she is Queen. For that to change while we are at war could prove.. difficult, if she has supporters."

"The only supporter of hers that concerns me is her brother. Any others would fall in line."

"Her brother is the one with the dragon. Everybody else would choose Ironborn over Targaryen at any time."
