Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_1049848f	type	Aliens Speaking English
Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_1049848f	comment	Aliens Speaking English: One of the major points in which the Hunter has not been called out - he stated he didn't expect Westeros to be inhabited at all, and yet he speaks the local language perfectly and his books are all written in the same. While characters from Essos could justifiably be expected to know the Westerosi tongue, a completely foreign civilization with which Westeros has never had any contact has much less explanation.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_14d633ed	comment	If I Wanted You Dead...: At one point, Rickard is enjoying some candied pineapple. When Rodrik asks if he really should be eating that, Rickard dryly points out Lady Evetta has been giving him a box of candied fruit every month for nearly five years at that point. If there were any risks in eating the pineapple, he would have presented symptoms long ago. Besides, Lord Fairchild has much faster and easier ways to kill people.

While they are not popularized as fast as they would like and do not keep as well as cereals, the potatoes significantly add to the Northern crops, to the point they are now in the cusp of a bountiful harvest.

To add to the implausibility, she remembers the Royal Family's apartments are in the furthest tower from the Starks'. It is important to note that this means the grown heir of the realm inveigled himself into the rooms of the betrothed teenage daughter of one of the seven Lords Paramount at virtual swordpoint at a moment when he knew her family was not with her with a paper-thin excuse at the moment his wife was supposed to be having a very difficult pregnancy with a labor expected to be dangerous for the mother.

The fact she is willing to openly admit that one of the smallest tricks Lord Fairchild has performed is comically out of her ballpark, even as a well-known devotee of the Lord of Light, is enough to make him wonder what exactly is the upper limit on his new friend's power.

However, as heâ€™s powerless to retaliate against the dragons, he chooses to direct his ire at the Starks as they are the only ones he can target. To his credit, he acknowledges that the Starks are in the same situation, though that makes him even angrier, knowing the only people he can target are also victims.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_49fb5ccb	comment	He genuinely doesn't understand why everyone is raking themselves over coals after Brandon's backstab attempt. In Yharnam, backstabs are a normal part of combat and Brandon was entirely justified in using it in a fight for his life- especially since Cyril was in no more danger than if he was attacked by a particularly impertinent mosquito. To everyone in Winterfell, Brandon, after insulting a foreign lord that had been nothing but impressively generous to his country and family, entered a bout he proved himself incredibly poorly at and then, after being disarmed once and granted a second chance with live steel, tried to backstab his opponent in a purely treacherous move, breaking Sacred Hospitality - which is the main tenet of behavior in the North.

While he hasn't yet descended into full insanity at the start of the story, Rickard despises him for extortionate prices for food from the Reach and veiled threats when he raises the price of lumber, fur and whale oil to compensate. It's due to this that he decides to open negotiations with the West on his own rather than allowing the Crown to join in. By the time of Chapter 13, the Defiance of Duskendale has come and gone, and Aerys is rapidly falling into paranoia, obsession and a growing pyromania.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_57d43e40	comment	Fantasy Counterpart Culture: In addition to the various canon ones from ASOIF, the lands to the west are heavily based on Europe around the 18th and 19th Century, with Cyril and Evetta performing musical pieces by, and mentioning the names of, composers who were alive during those periods, including Bach (who lived from 1685 to 1750), Chopin (1810 to 1849), and Tchaikovsky (1840 to 1893). Cyril's homeland of the Kingdom of the Great Isles is based off of the United Kingdom, with Cyril's last name of Fairchild being English, the land being ruled by a House of Lords despite having a monarch, his father being an earl (a title unique to Britain), and the styles of address he mentions match those of Britain. As well, many of the scientific texts he gives Rickard are ones by British scientists. The Kingdom of Gallia is France, as is implied by the namenote Gallia is Latin for Gaul, which is what France was known as before the Franks migrated there, with it being mentioned that the real French pastry known as pain au chocolat that Cyril bakes is from there, and he mentions it is known as chocolatine in some regions of the country, which reflects the pastry being called that in south-western France.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_5a08d0ae	comment	Chapter 5, The Wolf Who Challenged the Moon. Brandon challenges the Hunter to a training bout, insults him, and is disarmed. Given a second chance with live steel, he's trounced and sent to the ground again. When the Hunter is leaving the ring, Brandon goes for a Back Stab - a horrendous insult that breaks Sacred Hospitality and destroys his future as Lord Paramount, leaving Ned to become his father's heir anyway. More horrifyingly, Rickard outright tells Brandon that had the Hunter not been so supremely skilled as to pull his strength and killed Brandon, he would have tried to do the same to him, completing his family's ruin and dooming the North to a pointless war with Yharnam.

She's still not happy with the match, but the fact she has started getting to know him and that he does not have the weight of the Paramount Lordship of the Stormlands with his father still alive and his mother guiding him, their betrothal is off to a much better start than in canon. Whether Ned and Ashara Dayne were in a relationship was subject to a ton of speculation both in and out of universe. In the books, Catelyn Tully and several servants at Winterfell even believed Jon Snow's birth mother was Ashara. Here, it's obvious to everyone there's mutual attraction between them as Ned, at his brother's urging, dances with her the night before the tourney. They dance three times. Originally, due to Steffon Baratheon's lessons, Robert saw the Targaryens as family and at least vaguely respected Rhaegar. But with the breakdown in relationship between their families, Robert now is faintly disgusted by the prince, and understands there is a crisis brewing in the Seven Kingdoms.

Everyone tolerates them basically because they serve as an useful check on Houses Umber and Karstark, but they are well aware they still carry the legacy of the Red Kings and led the Greystarks to ruin. This lasts until they send Whitehill men to attack the Workshop in a bid to stop House Stark from benefiting from Lord Fairchild's rent, by either forcing them to admit that guests under their protection were slain or entirely denying their existence, gambling on either irreversibly staining their honor or preventing them from enjoying the rewards. However, with the attack being brutally averted, Rickard prepares to counter... which proves unnecessary when Lords Bolton and Whitehill mysteriously die in their sleep after the Workshop attack. Rickard has warned Roose's widow that either she ensures the mindset never returns, or he will allow her lords to tear apart the Bolton lands. Later on, Lord Umber recognizes the obvious falseness of the story Lord Stark presented for the Hunter, and reaches a wordless agreement with Lord Manderly to be pointed to any people who should be killed without the need of involving Rickard.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_7fc67b2b	type	Disinherited Child
Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_7fc67b2b	comment	Disinherited Child: After his shameful conduct on a duel with the Hunter, Rodrik Cassel, Luwin and Fane Poole feel Rickard needs to disinherit Brandon. Infuriate but saddened at the truth behind their pleas, Rickard instead declares that in six years, Brandon will willingly remove himself from the line of succession, be granted some money and loyal men, and booted out, all but pleading Rodrik not to ask anything more of him. Personally, he hopes the Hunter will help take Brandon west after the six years, allowing him to leave with honor and making it look like the whole business was horribly overblown, though he feels what little comfort the Hunter has granted him is already too much to ask anything else of him. It's deconstructed in that Rickard still loves his child and knows that so do his siblings, but the cold shoulder he is receiving from his own household means that he is now much more invested in socializing with the Fairchilds, so to avoid dimming their connection, he allows Lyanna to visit the Workshop. In a weird sort of way, the Doll. By the end of his existence, Gehrman clearly did not see her as a sentient being, and so his will stipulated that the Workshop and his possessions went to Cyril, who desperately tried to give them to her, having no need for any of it. The fact he was rebuffed over and over was the start of his courtship and eventual marriage.

While in reality he is asking to measure Lord Fairchild's power against a known Essosi mage, Melisandre thinks that he is asking in hopes of improving the Northern harvests, and increases her opinion of him, since he is pretty much the only lord in her six centuries of life who appears to be interested in the potential of magic to help others under him rather than to covet her body, power or both. For reference, she told him that such a feat was absurdly hard and costly and that he frankly was better off investing in more glass gardens.

It's ambiguous if this is a result of becoming a Great One or due to a lack of interaction with other humans for some time. He's also strong enough even while passing as a human to swing the Threaded Cane, which is mentioned to weigh two stone, like a stick. Rickard compares the weight of the thing to a war mace.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Chapter 2, Bread, Salt and Sacred Hospitality. The Fairchilds come from the West - a land Westeros has never succeeded in reaching. Chapter 5, The Wolf Who Challenged the Moon. Brandon challenges the Hunter to a training bout, insults him, and is disarmed. Given a second chance with live steel, he's trounced and sent to the ground again. When the Hunter is leaving the ring, Brandon goes for a Back Stab - a horrendous insult that breaks Sacred Hospitality and destroys his future as Lord Paramount, leaving Ned to become his father's heir anyway. More horrifyingly, Rickard outright tells Brandon that had the Hunter not been so supremely skilled as to pull his strength and killed Brandon, he would have tried to do the same to him, completing his family's ruin and dooming the North to a pointless war with Yharnam. Chapter 11, The Stranger in the Mirror and 12, Black Under the Paleblood Moon. The Workshop is attacked by suspiciously well armed bandits, who were secretly sent by Roose Bolton and Ludd Whitehill. The attack is brutally repulsed with no survivors, and soon after Winterfell receives notice of the deaths of Bolton and Whitehill in their sleep that very same night. Chapter 13, Better Days, Part 1, Lord Fairchild is informed of Brandon's status, and seeing he is fine with ceding his lordship to Eddard, offers to make him a Hunter instead.

The Hunter and Lord Stark briefly bargain for the price of the former's stay in the North for six years. Cyril offers some glass, and Rickard unthinkingly accepts, still mired in the mess that will come out of Brandon's massive faux pas and willing to accept a cracked jar. In the early hours of that night, several massive crates appear without preamble or explanation on Winterfell's market square, each rivaling the size of nearby houses. All of them are stacked with enormous panes of perfect glass, each insanely expensive. Put together, it's enough glass to make six glasshouses, when it took the extinction of a rival Great House and the confiscation of their assets to fund even one glasshouse for Winterfell. Wyman Manderly also notes the sheer volume would make it impossible even for Houses dedicated to trade like the Redwynes to transport it with no one the wiser.

His father's revelations on the same chapter help explain some of it. In-Universe, Ned has started wondering what such a sword tells him about the Hunter's foes, that he had the need for it. Ned also makes a point of leaving it at home when he returns to the Vale to continue his fosterage, as it would raise too many questions as to where it came from (and Cyril notes that, against normal humans, the sword is so effective that Ned wouldn't learn how to fight properly if he used it).

The books include basic history of the Great Isles, a copy of Burke's Peerage, scientific tomes by the local versions of Newton, Lavoisier and Dalton, and an extremely advanced tome on farming. In a deconstruction, Rickard notes that to achieve the results the books promise, he would need insane innovation the likes of Westeros has never seen, since it requires metalsmithing on Qohor's level, research on the Citadel's, and chemicals that risk something as horrible as the Tragedy of Summerhall.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_bcc9f4f7	comment	Realpolitik: Rickard is genuinely thankful for the Fairchilds' generosity during winter, but still has to investigate their origins and intentions, especially given the last time a woman with Valyrian coloring (Queen Alysanne Targaryen) visited the North, she took half a kingdom's worth of land and gifted it with no compensation to the Night's Watch, who had no means of working it, making it a tremendous waste the North had to pay for. The glass Cyril has given the North allows them to spread the rumor that he's an exiled Myr glassmaker; to prevent Myr from poking too much, Rickard prepares an edict for Lord Manderly to send to the Myr Triarch that should something happen to Cyril, he's prepared to sell timber to Braavos, their slavery-hating neighbor, at a loss. With the Arsenal's rate of production only restricted by supply, this would increase Braavos' naval might to the point Myr would easily be defeated and their government broken. Steffon Baratheon knows full well Aerys would make him his new Hand if he returned with the truth of the Fairchilds and the North's new wealth. On the other hand, he does not want the position to start with, Aerys' madness would only end in disaster for everyone involved if he tried to seize the Fairchilds and their secrets, and Tywin Lannister would take bloody vengeance upon being passed over. Seeing he has virtually nothing to gain, Lord Baratheon only asks Rickard to confirm Lyanna and Robert's betrothal and thus lock Rickard into the plan to break away the Vale, Stormlands, Riverlands and the North from the Seven Kingdoms.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_bec0417c	comment	Happily Married: Cyril and Evetta are quite a close couple, something everyone takes note of. This has eventual consequences, in that Lyanna, having grown knowing what a loving and egalitarian relationship is like from the Fairchilds and the undying devotion her own father practices towards her deceased mother, is unwilling to go through with her planned betrothal with Robert Baratheon, whom she fears will only see her as a conquest. In the context of Westeros, Robert's defects of whoring and drinking are not especially bad, but against the Fairchilds and Rickard he falls painfully short of an acceptable partner.

He broke Brandon's practice sword and another borrowed (this time genuine) sword during their first spar in Winterfell. Later when he duels with Ned, the Hunter shatters his blade more thoroughly, the first blow shattering the swordtip, the second wrecking it in half, and a third reducing it to a dagger.

Their clothes, despite their excellent make, are dyed in largely drab colors. This trope is played with regarding their house. By Victorian standards, their house is comfortable and cozy enough with the time's typical decorations with heavy, ornate furnishings and knickknacks; but from the Westerosi's point of view, it's unimaginably luxurious with iron fences, realistic oil paintings, porcelain furnishings, copper oil lamps, and cream with sugar to name a few. Ned, by just walking through the house, could confidently say that it's more luxurious than even the Graftons' personal estate.

While he is primarily a combat tutor to Brandon (and more recently, Ned), he also made it a point to add math lessons to their swordwork, and if they don't complete the lesson to his satisfaction, they're staying put and reading until he's satisfied.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_cc7fae30	comment	Outside-Context Problem: Westeros of the time period is a Low Fantasy setting with potential to bloom back into High Fantasy, having little in the way of superpowers (at the present day) and medieval-level technology. Cyril is a Humanoid Abomination and Deity of Human Origin from a vaguely-Victorian Gothic Horror setting. Somewhat ironically, it's the latter part that tends to trip him up the most, as he forgets that Westeros doesn't have the industry to do things like produce glass on a large scale, and he has absolutely no experience in medieval-style politics.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_e8e56799	comment	Blue-and-Orange Morality: Somewhat downplayed, as all parties do understand and work by human morality, but their values are quite different (Yharnam operated by Victorian social mores, while Westeros is in Medieval Stasis), resulting in nearly everything Cyril tries to do being misinterpreted by the Westeros natives. Cyril genuinely meant for the money he gave Ser Cassel for Lord Stark to be an apology for inadvertently invading his land. Instead, the massive amount makes it look like a statement of power couched as an apology. He genuinely doesn't understand why everyone is raking themselves over coals after Brandon's backstab attempt. In Yharnam, backstabs are a normal part of combat and Brandon was entirely justified in using it in a fight for his life- especially since Cyril was in no more danger than if he was attacked by a particularly impertinent mosquito. To everyone in Winterfell, Brandon, after insulting a foreign lord that had been nothing but impressively generous to his country and family, entered a bout he proved himself incredibly poorly at and then, after being disarmed once and granted a second chance with live steel, tried to backstab his opponent in a purely treacherous move, breaking Sacred Hospitality - which is the main tenet of behavior in the North. Cyril offers to have Brandon visit for swordfighting lessons as a form of "reparation". Rickard doesn't see the motive, as he is used to dealing entirely with oaths and more overt threats, expecting to lose the gold Cyril had gifted him and more as an apology, and instead giving his treacherous son extensive training with an expert teacher and immense amounts of glass. On the other hand, when Lord Stark thinks he's proposing to have Brandon sent over as a hostage, Cyril immediately backs off, not feeling confident enough in his University training to actually serve as the tutor for a Duke's heir. Rickard is drawn to despair from the fact he simply has no idea of what the hell Cyril wants. In a more humorous way, Luwin feels The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy shames the work of every maester with a bronze link in his chain, especially since it was written by a knight, not knowing that the author lived in a time period where knighthood was often granted for merits other than in combat, and he was knighted specifically for his scientific prowess. At one point, Ned asks the Hunter if he is willing to take them seriously if the manage to wound him. Curious, Lord Fairchild asks what Ned means, who clarifies he has been fighting them both with literally only one hand. The Hunter explains it's not a slight against them - he's just too used to fighting with a melee weapon in one hand and a gun in the other.

Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_e9e35e8f	type	Exact Words
Thy Good Neighbor (Fanfic) / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: Cyril doesn't seem to like lying outright, but has no problem whatsoever allowing people to draw incorrect conclusions from his words. When Rickard and Rodrik confront Cyril with the fact that they've never heard of any lands like Yharnam or the Great Isles to the east, Cyril informs them that they've "been looking in the wrong direction." They take this to mean he is from the west from unmapped lands on the other side of the Sunset Sea. Cyril noticeably does not confirm or deny this. Given his true eldritch nature, he and Evetta could very easily hail from another planet or plane of existence altogether. On the other hand, the map Cyril lends Lord Stark does include both the Western lands and Westeros, he does not appear to be overly worried over being believed, and he makes sure to deliver plenty of proof, far more than necessary to make his point, making the issue less clear. They also are vague about Evetta's relation to the Vilebloods. They never state which of her "parents" was a Vileblood, leading to the Northerners thinking it was Gehrman who was a Vileblood, when it was actually Lady Maria. As well, when Lyanna asks Evetta about a painting of Lady Maria, Evetta, after a moment of contemplation, specifically states that Cyril would consider her Evetta's mother, not that she was Evetta's mother. When Rickard bids Eddard talk privately with him to impress upon him that he has all but been chosen as the new heir, he deliberately avoids talking about Brandon's horrid breach of conduct, and instead makes it sound like Lord Fairchild had been impressed by Brandon in a spar enough to consider him for a position on the West. When Rickard asks Cyril to leave Roose Bolton for the Lord of Winterfell to deal with, Cyril promises to do no more than he has already done. It's implied that Cyril already used the Hunter's Dream to dispose of Roose and Lord Whitehill by this point, seeing how a Raven bearing news of them having died in their sleep reaches Winterfell a few days later. When talking to Rickard about how he met the Doll, Lord Fairchild deliberately omits a great deal of information that might explain why Gehrman behaved so abominably with her. In the end, it doesn't really matter, as regardless of the details, Gehrman indeed left Evetta with no option but to love Cyril.
