House words: "We stand at the shores"(Not canon)

IC: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopi ... 1&t=336990

What this is:

This is going to be an RP in which you are in the court of Lord Eldon Estermont. The majority of this RP will take place on Estermont Island, a small island off the coast of the Stormlands. You will be able to create your own character, because of the lack of lore for the place, you have relative freedom. I will be controlling Lord Eldon, his son Gunthor Estermont is playable.

I will not limit you when it comes to the RP. If you manage it, you can depose me. You can try to convert the island to R'hillor. The possibilities are near endless. I will try to make this as enjoyable as possible.

Mind you, there is no technological advancement in this world. There is a strong aristocratic tradition in Westeros, so republics are looked down upon by commoner and lords alike. Greed and ambition are perhaps the greatest traits one can have in this world.

Rules:

1. I am all powerful, when I make a final judgment it is final.
2. No dragons
3. No major houses
4. You must be a human
5. There will be a limit on positions in court
6. No one liners, at least two sentences per post. No need to waste time, enjoy the RP and immerse your self.
7. I will determine the Timescale and manage events.
8. Understand that there will be spoilers.

I like your character, but I don't think you're loyalty matches with your title. The Master of Ships is very important to Estermont, it's a maritime power. I'd let you be the Master of Sword, though. It's not too important, but it carries the same political weight of the Master of Ships.

I would say reduce your wealth, but if you are willing to be over 30 years old you can keep it. If not, reduce to 2 gold.

When does this take place, in the story?

A year before the events in the show.

What point in the show?

A year before the events in the show.

The beginning.

[Allancia]

The beginning.

So, during events that which were never directly addressed?
Also, I doubt that Game of Thrones took place in the 200s. Their technology and manner of dress was more from the 1300s.

Yea, this year is there to hopefully create the political structure of the court when things go down.

My friend, in Game of thrones they have a completely different universe, winters last entire years for example.

There are about 10,000 years of lore before AC/AL(AL: Aegon's Landing, and AC: Aegon's conquest). Technology doesn't advance in this world for some unadressed reason.

We already have a Master of Sword, but your character would be an excellent knight. Lower either you Stewardship or Intrigue below 10.

Ah, I see. I know about the unpredictable seasonal length thing. Hence the "Winter Is Coming" catchphrase.
As I have neither read nor seen the series/show, I will probably have to read up about this beforehand.

[Rhinocera]

Would captain of the Guard be available, or would that fall under Master of Sword?

[Licata]

Would captain of the Guard be available, or would that fall under Master of Sword?

Here are two options;

1. Be a knight, and I'll make you commander of the Holdfast and 200 men.

2. Be a Captain of the Guard.

in option 1, you'll have a holding.

In option 2, you'll have less responsibility.

Hopefully spoilers won't come along too much. At most we might spoil the first episode.

Having limited knowledge of the lore may make things difficult for you, I'll try to help. The Wili for GOT has almost all of the info.
