    I was thinking Cregan Stark could be the trueborn son of Eddard Stark and the late Ashara Dayne? And so Cregan Stark/Meera Reed/Nymeria Sand/Roslin Frey or Cregan Stark/Meera Reed/Rhaenys Targaryen/Roslin Frey? Also, how would you feel about including a Lannister OC who could serve as a personal nemesis to Cregan Stark before the Night King?

      I know, but who would be an option for him beyond just being his paramour would still depend on his own position/rank, meaning whether he would be the heir to Winterfell or not. So Brandon's fate is the important part here.

        I reckon Brandon Stark should still die? So Cregan Stark is the heir?

          Possibly, yes. Although it would make for some potentially interesting options if Brandon were still alive with sons of his own. If Cregan would not be the heir to Winterfell, then Ned could allow him at least a few more freedoms or a little more say in who he wished to marry. Of course, that would still be a political thing, but...

          Also, Ned and Ashara would not necessarily have to live in the North all the time, could spend some time in Dorne, in King's Landing or even in Essos. I don't see Ned as an adventurer who would have fun travelling Essos, but maybe Ashara would be... ;-)

          But more than anything, some important questions must be answered first:
          Did the Doom of Valyria happen? If so, did Agon conquer Wersteros? If the Doom did not happen, what are the relations between the Seven Kingdoms and Valyria?
          If Aegon did conquer Westeros, did the rest of the history play out the same or did maybe the Blackfyres win the throne or did Aerys not go mad or did maybe Maester Aemon take the throne when it was offered to him? I think those are the things that must be answered before everything else. :-)

            I sorta want Eddard Stark to become the Lord Paramount of the North, but a bit more prepared?

              Well, Brandon could of course have died at a young age, of a fever or just a kick against the head by a horse. ;-)

                I’m thinking he could’ve still died along with Richard just before Robert’s Rebellion. Also, want me to send outlines for the Lannister OC, the North and Cregan Stark? And would you prefer Nymeria Sand or Rhaenys Targaryen?
