What If Ned Stark Publicly Named Stannis King Before His Arrest?

Описание: What if Eddard Stark made one final, irreversible choice — and spoke the truth where it mattered most?

In this alternate history of A Song of Ice and Fire, Ned Stark does not confront Queen Cersei in secret. Instead, he stands before the Iron Throne, the Small Council, the Faith, and the court of King’s Landing — and publicly names Stannis Baratheon the lawful king of Westeros.

The king’s seal is revealed. The truth of the royal children is spoken aloud. The lie that holds the realm together is shattered in a single moment.

From the blood-soaked throne room to the streets of Flea Bottom, from the dungeons beneath the Red Keep to Dragonstone and Winterfell, this story explores how the War of the Five Kings changes when the truth is no longer whispered — but witnessed.

This is a grounded, lore-faithful alternate timeline focused on political consequence, character psychology, and the brutal cost of honor in a realm built on power.
