AWOIAF 1.3 - War of The Five Kings is Over, what to do now? Also how to do Lands of Always Winter?

It's been only 200 days and The Westerlands have been annihilated by a combination of the North, The Riverlands, and The Stormlands.

Renly sits on the iron throne and peace becomes the realm.

I fought for Lord Paramount Edmure Tully as an enlisted man all the way from Peasant to Knight, and then retired from his service and became a wandering Hedge Knight, riding from town to town to win tourneys and do favors for powerful lords, and hunt bandits for cash.

I was offered vassalization from Renly, which I accepted, and I am now the Lord of Blackwater.

The fief is prosperous but not enough to cover troop expenses (125 men + food). With no wars, it seems like the only thing I can do is fight in tourneys and win to get that sweet reward money. Other than that, I am quite a relatively impoverished lord. What can I do to either get some wars going to get that money flowing or is there a way to make money in peacetime?

I wanna go do that quest to renovate an old Valyrian stronghold but I never have the money to do that quest let alone buy a ship.

Additionally, I spent some time running around North Of The Wall to do the quest "The Lands of Always Winter" but what exactly is supposed to happen? After about two weeks of ranging I just went home to Winterfel.
