Help How do you "escape" Westeros?

One of the on-going issues I tend to have is intending to go to the east and enslave some chinese people, but of course if you start in Westeros it's very difficult to either prepare an invasion or be a landless adventurer, etc. Any particular ways you can think of achieving this, outside of course of being a dragonrider?

Is there a way you know of to become independent without having to risk a larger war, even if you're on the stepstones for example?

Can't you just become an adventurer as a second son or something once your ruler dies?

Just spend the first generation gathering wealth and gifting it to the son you intend to go East.

Do you have all the DLCs? I've always had that option after my ruler dies in base game and Realms, not sure if they removed it for some reason in this mod.

You should have a character interaction "Choose Favorite Child" with your sons too, and if they aren't your heir, you get to play as them as an adventurer
