One Year, one year since the Doom of Valyria (1 AD), and with the loss of the greatest Empire known to man came great uncertainty throughout the world. In Essos the Free Cities eye each other with plots of expansion and the recreation of a great Eastern Empire as Valyrian families that escaped the Doom seek to cement their control over these cities, the Iron Bank of Braavos is the biggest supplier of loans in the world and the gold they receive back is staggering, the Dothraki fight among themselves as each Khal looks to gain dominance in their nomadic warrior society. In Westeros House Durrandon controls the largest swarth of land in Westeros with their kingdom stretching from the Dornish Marches in the South to the Neck in the North, however with House Martell in Dorne, House Gardener in the Reach, House Arryn in the Vale, and House Hoare in the Iron Islands all looking eagerly at the territory of the Storm King it will be only a matter of time until someone makes the first move. In the North House Stark is too preoccupied with a Civil War against the Boltons and their followers to concern themselves with taking Southern Lands. And in Blackwater Bay House Targaryen looks to the entirety of Westeros with plans to create a New Valyrian Empire in the West.
It is in this situation that we all find ourselves as one of the many houses in either Westeros or Essos and it is from here that we'll decide the future of the world.

Rules
1. All Nationstate's Rules apply.
2. No Metagaming, Godmodding, or being an asshole. We are here for fun, don't ruin it.
3. Consider travel times and your army's ability to maneuver. No one post jumps to capitals or the like. Sneak attacks can happen, but are nearly impossible. (For Armies the Distance from Winterfell to the Wall takes Two Weeks to March, For individuals or small groups of riders on horseback that distance takes one week under hard riding.)
4. Consider logistics and the layout of your region/city. Putting armies in the field costs money, you need to feed/pay/arm the troops. Its an undertaking which should not be done on a whim.
5. These are bannermen armies, in other words armies that are mobilized and formed from your general populace. You will only have a fraction of your forces active in peacetime. (Various garrisons/Household Guard forces etc.)
6. Watch out what you do or don't do to your King/Leige Lord. If you ignore them or move against them, they have every right to march to your city and destroy you.
7. This is Game of Thrones, people will be killed. Don't take it personally. However, you most definitely can not just kill a player's character by poison or ambush if they are not aware you are going to do it. (Example: You cannot say that when the King of the North takes a drink of wine, he dies all Joffrey style. No cool bro.)
8. A Dragon's max size at the beginning of the RP is 25m from head to tail. A Valyrian family cannot start out with more than 3 of these dragons.
9. Any Dragons larger than 25m at the start cannot have any impact against other players and must be dead as soon as possible.
10. OOC is completely different from the IC, so don't get sucked into the habit of defending your characters or their action In the OOC.
11. YOU are in control of your characters and their moves don't have to make sense. "Keep your enemies confused on what you will do next. Never be predictable"
