"Earl Randyll Tarly, loyal and diligent, I appoint you Master of Defense, responsible for the defense and demobilization of the standing army throughout the realm, as well as eliminating deserters and bandits. Ser Garlan Tyrell, Earl Bryce Caron, Earl Dondarrion, Ser Preston, and others will serve as your deputies."

"Ser Brynden Tully, I appoint you Master of Transport and Construction, responsible for maintaining the Kingsroad, building New King's Landing, and helping repair castles damaged by disaster. Canal Minister Tyrion Lannister will serve as your deputy."

"This is my highest honor!" Mathis, dressed in white silk bearing a golden tree, also bent his knee as he spoke.
"Ser Davos, I name you Earl of the Rainwood and Master of Ships, responsible for coordinating fleet construction and maintaining the safety of sea transport.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Onion Knight bowed
