The Blackfyre Rebellion - A Game of Thrones RP (OOC)

[Lunas Legion]

I'm open to ideas to involve House Stark in affairs further south. I still play Errold Stark, right? I'm working on a backstory for why he joined the Kingsguard in his latter years. Maybe some connection to House Targaryen?

Could have fought in the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion as head of a Stark contingent and been recognised for his skills and valour there?

Not a bad idea. It was a brief rebellion, but I cooked this up and added it to an edit of my application:

The first lord of Salt Harbor, Errold Stark was sent south by the young lord to act as an envoy to the court of King Aegon V. He brought his wife, sons and nephew Brandon with him to attend court while he plead Lord Artos' requests for the return of the New Gift, a city charter for Salt Harbor, and royal financing to extend the kingsroad to Barrowton and White Harbor. Errold, his sons, nephew and personal guard rallied to King Aegon V during the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion. With Errold safeguarding the king's life while his nephew Brandon tore through Daemon III's protectors alongside Ser Duncan the Tall. Afterwards, Errold accepted a place in the Kingsguard out of respect for the Dragon King's valor.

It's up to Of the Quendi if King Aegon V or his successors accepted any of the Stark entreaties. In any case, Errold was impressed with the Dragon King and entered his service.

Relatively minor thing of it being Daeron I rather than Daemon III spearheading the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion, with Daemon III dying in battle in the Disputed Lands some years earlier.

[Laurel]

Oops, missed Daemon III's earlier death. Was Daeron I killed by Duncan the Tall like Daemon was?

[Lunas Legion]

Oops, missed Daemon III's earlier death. Was Daeron I killed by Duncan the Tall like Daemon was?

Most likely, yes, although I don't mind if someone else wants the honour of killing Daeron I.

The city charter can have been granted but the crown does not have the funds for major infrastructure projects, from 233 to 236 Aegon V spent a lot of money sending food to the North during the long winter so the treasury would have been in no position to undertake other projects in the North. As for the New Gift it will not have been rescinded. Aegon's own older brother is after all the maester at Castle Black so the Night's Watch has a pretty great advocate for its own interests.

Excellent, provides for some good plot hooks. Did Duncan the Tall kill Daeron I Blackfyre?

[Of the Quendi]

Are you asking me?

Figured you'd be determining some of the lore for the rebellion since Lunas Legion left it open.

[Of the Quendi]

Figured you'd be determining some of the lore for the rebellion since Lunas Legion left it open.

Right. Well in that case yes. Whenever I determine stuff it sticks pretty close to the lore.

[Dragos Bee]

Can I be a Sellsword?

Edit: Or the Tullys?

Can I be a Sellsword?

Sure you can be either! We could really use the Tullys

House Name: House Baratheon
House Sigil: A black crowned stag, on a gold field
Head of House: Ailish Baratheon

Titles: Lord of Storm's End,
Lord Paramount of the Stormlands
Characters:

The Baratheon Family:

• Ailish Baratheon, Lady of Storm's End and Lady Paramount of the Stormlands(45): An aging yet still formidable woman that ascended to the throne 25 years ago. Despite being relatively fair to the smallfolk, she is rather cutthroat when dealing with her peers
  
• Her Husband, Gunnar (35): 10 years her Junior, Ailish married Gunnar relatively recently after her original husband went missing and was presumed dead. The children have a considerable distrust of him and feel that he has too much influence over their mother.


The Children


• Aoife, the eldest and illegitimate daughter(28): Aoife was born out of wedlock when Ailish was 17 years old after a rebellious relationship with a smallfolk alchemist. Raised by the alchemist guild until her teens, she has a knack for technical knowledge along with a detachment from her siblings and a mixture of admiration and disappointment with her mother.
  
• The eldest legitimate daughter, Elidah (23): Elidah is a tall imposing yet beautiful woman with striking features and piercing gray eyes. She is an excellent fighter and strategist and yet she'll frequently be indecisive when the time comes to metaphorically or literally to land the killing blow. Conflicted between a love for her mother and an overriding desire to replace her.
  
• Lachlan, the only son (20): He is the very model of a prince and he thinks of himself as such. Lachlan likes to play things safe and by tradition, not so much out of closed mindedness but out of a fear of failure from taking risks. Frequently butts heads with his sisters.
  
• Alastrina, the youngest daughter(18): Despite being brash, impulsive and frequently immature, Alastrina is an attractive woman and brilliant tactician, especially when forced to think on her feet. Ironically, she has a severe problem with normal intimacy.

Non Family Characters:

Military Strength: 30,000 men, History of the House:

[Dragos Bee]

Did Aegon V exist in this timeline?

[Yaruqo]

Can I reserve House Tully?

EDIT: Never mind, I'd like to reserve House Darklyn and the Master of Laws position, if possible.

[Of the Quendi]

Alright since Cybernetic Socialist Republic does not want the match between Princess Rhaelle and the Baratheons, I will make Rhaelle's husband be Lucerys Velaryon. Their descendants not the Baratheons will then be in the line of succession. I will update it accordingly. I would also like Lord Lucerys, as the king's brother-in-law to be Master of Ships.

Also Acroticus I was thinking if maybe you could add a link to my line of succession to the OP, it might be useful for people to have access to it when making decisions about whom to back.

Did Aegon V exist in this timeline?

Yes. His life is not materially changed from GRRM's timeline, and he died at Summerhall.

[Yaruqo]

House Name: House Darklyn
House Sigil: Fusily sable and or, upon a pale in dexter gules seven escutcheons argent
Head of House: Davos Darklyn
Titles: Lord of Duskendale and Master of Laws
Characters: Lord Davos Darklyn (30 years old) - A man with dulled golden hair and the first signs of silver starting to show, he was long considered by his family to be a paragon of House Darklyn. He was attentive during lessons, he could hold his own during combat lessons, and he was kind-hearted. As the heir to Duskendale, he had a bright future ahead of him when he came of age at six and ten. When he was knighted one year later, his father, Lord Trystan Darklyn, held a small tourney in Ser Davos' honor. During the lists, the opposing knight lunged at Ser Davos' horse with his lance, throwing both horse and rider to the ground. The maesters did what they could, but in the end, while Davos' life was saved, he would never walk again. Despite this setback, Lord Davos' marriage the prior year to Lady Jaeyna Mooton had borne fruit, a daughter named Meredyth. In the years since, he has had a son, Florian, and another daughter, Lysa, though because he is crippled, there are rumors that their mother, perhaps even at the instruction of Davos, sired them with another - though no one would dare levy such things within earshot of the Darklyns. In the years since his accident, Ser Davos gained a reputation in the Crownlands as a well-read and learned young man. When he became Lord of Duskendale at the age of twenty and five, his reputation grew into one of a just and honorable ruler, one who often walked the fine line between mercy and punishment. After the Tragedy at Summerhall, Lord Davos' reputation would reach the ears of an up and coming King Jaehaerys II Targaryen, who invited him to King's Landing to serve as his Master of Laws, a position that Lord Davos Darklyn accepted, though reportedly, not without concern about the scrutiny that might fall on him.

Lady Jaeyna Mooton (30 years old) - A comely woman with chestnut hair, the Matriarch of Duskendale and wife to Lord Davos has gained a reputation as a protective mother, as well as an observant one. While lacking the formal training her husband received, she has picked up certain cues and lessons from watching him rule Duskendale. She serves as Lord Davos' regent in Duskendale while he serves on the Small Council, and races to prepare their eldest daughter to be received in King’s Landing, now that she is nearing marriageable age.

Ser Hoster Rykker (29 years old) - Lord Davos' sworn sword and closest friend, he has been nigh inseparable from his liege ever since the two were children. He is a talented swordsman, blunt and loyal to a fault. He was knighted by Lord Trystan Darklyn for hunting down bandits in the forests near Duskendale when he was ten and eight.

Lady Meredyth Darklyn (14 years old) - The eldest daughter of Lord Davos Darklyn and Lady Jaeyna Mooton, she compensates for her slightly rotund figure and average looks with a tempered mind, thanks to her father's insistence that she be given the same education a man would. She has gained a reputation in Duskendale as a sharp tongued and quick witted young girl, with a bit of a temper that, Davos insists, she inherited from her mother.

Florian Darklyn (7 years old) - The only son and heir of Lord Davos Darklyn and Lady Jaeyna Mooton, he is not as attentive to his studies as his father was, a fact that reportedly irks Lord Davos to no end, though his lady wife assures him that young Florian is simply still a child, though few can dispute he is a handsome child.

Lady Lysa Darklyn (5 years old) - The youngest daughter of Lord Davos and Lady Jaeyna Mooton, she is a pretty little girl, rarely out of sight of her septa.

Ser Criston Darklyn (24 years old) - The younger brother of Lord Davos, he resides in Duskendale and has a reputation of being an adventurer. He embarked on a six year long journey through the Free Cities of Essos, and reportedly came back with an Essosi woman, though she has not made a formal appearance in Duskendale if the rumors are true.

Military Strength: I'm not sure, would it be 2,000?
History of the House: Ever since the Dance of Dragons, House Darklyn has slowly rebuilt itself in the years since the death of Aegon II and the rise of Aegon III. They remain a loyal vassal to House Targaryen, though they, like the other lords, bristle at the perceived favoritism dispensed to House Reyne.

Characters:

The Royal Family

• Jaehaerys II (35), born in King's Landing in 225 AC to Prince Aegon Targaryen and his wife Lady Betha Blackwood the sixteenth Targaryen king is a sickly looking, pale and frail man with large purple eyes and shoulder-length hair silver hair. He is tall and slender, to the point of being scrawny with handsome, yet delicate, features. Throughout his life he has been afflicted by numerous ailments and though still in his prime he is not expected to live long. He is considered by many to be a weak king, overly beholden to his Hand, Lord Alastor Reyne, and lacking in the martial prowess and strength a king ought possessed. To his supporters he is however seen as a amiable and clever ruler who has reversed his father's more unpopular policies and steered the Realm steadily through the upheavals caused by the Tragedy at Summerhall.
  Shaera Targaryen (34), the sister-wife of King Jaehaerys, Queen Shaera features blends the traditional Targaryen look with that of her mother Betha Blackwood. Shaera has purple eyes so dark as to be almost black and dark golden hair. A lively and beautiful woman before the Tragedy at Summerhall her health was compromised by smoke inhalation suffered during the tragedy and the grief caused by death of her son Aerys in her arms and as queen has proven a mostly reclusive figure.
  
  • Rhaella Targaryen (15), the daughter of the King and Queen is a fine and delicate beauty. She is slender and small with large indigo eyes and fine, pale, porcelain skin, that is almost translucent, and long pale silver-gold hair. Though in youth she loved a young knight named Bonifer Hasty she married her older brother Aerys when her father ordered it, and though there was little love on either side of the marriage she was a dutiful wife and bore Aerys a daughter, Daenaerys. After the death of her husband she begged her father not to be named heir but when he insisted she determined to honor his wishes and has earned a reputation among her supporters as a dutiful and diligent heir to the Iron Throne, while her opponents considers her a weak-willed woman.
    
    • Daenaerys Targaryen (1), the second in line to the Iron Throne. She is a healthy and happy babe who rarely cries.

The descendants of Aegon V

• Aegon Targaryen (7), the posthumous son of Daeron Targaryen, the third son of Aegon V and Betha Blackwood, by his wife Lady Elyn Norridge. The marriage of his parents was almost as controversial as that of Prince Duncan and Jenny of Oldstones for though Lady Elyn was no commoner her grandfather was a wealthy merchant from Oldtown who did Lord Tyrell a favor and gained a knighthood for his son and grandson. In consequence Aegon, though the senior male heir of the King is considered a dubious candidate for the throne. He is currently a ward of Lord X (OOC: given the Norridge-Tyrell connection, Cymrea gets first dibs, if Cymrea isn't interested I will allow others to be put up for consideration). He is a handsome youth with Targaryen features. He is not betrothed but his supporters wishes for him to marry Princess Daenaerys. He is known as a quite promising youth who enjoys squiring for Ser X (OOC: a senior member of the House of Lord X).
• Rhaelle Targaryen (31-26), the sister and last surviving sibling of the King and Queen is married to the Lord of Storm's End. Her children by him are the most senior claimants to the Iron Throne not to carry the surname "Targaryen".

The descendants of Maekar I

• Maegor Targaryen (28), Prince Maegor is the son of Aerion Targaryen and as such is the most senior male line descendant of King Maekar. After Maekar's unexpected death in 233 his claim was briefly considered by a Great Council but was rejected on account of his youth and for fear he might have inherited his father's madness. He has his father's look with curly silver-gold hair, deep violet eyes, and pale skin, with a sculpted and imperious face dominated by sharp cheekbones and an aquiline nose. He was once married, but his wife died under mysterious circumstances, they had no children. He has since worked tirelessly to find a highborn consort who might strengthen his claim to the throne. Though possessed of great charm and known as a strong warrior and brave knight Maegor has never been able to shake a reputation for cruelty, disloyalty and a certain mercurial unpredictability. He follows Princess Rhaelle and her children in the line of succession.
• Vaella Targaryen (38), the daughter of Maekar's second son Daeron Targaryen and his wife Kiera of Tyrosh, was briefly considered by the Council of 233 but was immediately rejected on account of her sex and her feeble mind. In youth she was quite beautiful but on account of her simple-mindedness was never considered for marriage. She is now a portly woman with a propensity for smiling but not deep conversation. She lives in the Red Keep, officially as a lady-in-waiting for the Queen but in reality more like a ward in need of protection from her own lack of sense. She has no supporters but is beloved by her family.
• Daella Targaryen (61), the eldest daughter of Maekar and his wife, Princess Daella was once a beautiful Targaryen princess. She married and had children (OOC: I am thinking Dorne, so GF&V gets first dibs). Her descendants are second to those of Princess Rhaelle among the heirs to the Iron Throne not surnamed Targaryen.
• Rhae Targaryen (59-51), the youngest child of Maekar and his wife, Princess Rhae was once a beautiful Targaryen princess. She is married and had children (OOC: If Daella goes Dornish then Rhae probably shouldn't. She could go Baratheon I suppose but with Rhaelle doing that in the following generation that might be a bit much, so I am open to suggestions). Her descendants are third to those of her sister and Princess Rhaelle among the heirs to the Iron Throne not surnamed Targaryen.

The descendants of Daeron II

• Daenora Targaryen (48), the wife of the late Aerion Targaryen and mother of Maegor Targaryen looks more like her mother Alys Arryn than her father Prince Rhaegel. She is a tall woman with blond hair (with only a hint of Targaryen silver) and blue eyes. She has an aquiline nose which she passed on to her son. Though not particularly smitten with her husband she has not remarried since his death. She is considered a sensible and prudent matronly woman who has shown little interest in her sons pretensions. She lives in the Vale. As her father was the older brother of Maekar she has a claim of her own to the Iron Throne but she has shown no interests in pursuing it (despite her son's insistence) and has no supporters.

In-laws and extended family of House Targaryen

• Janos Norridge (55), the son of Jeremy Norridge, a spice merchant from Oldtown, he was knighted by a Lord of Highgarden in his youth and given some lands along the Mander which he holds as a vassal of the Tyrell's. He is a portly man, balding and plagued by gout, yet still strong. He married a lady companion of his liege lord and distant relation of House Crane, Ellyn Crane and had two children, Ser Jeremy and Lady Ellyn. He is known to be an honorable and generous man, though grieving the death of his wife and son.
  
  • Ellyn Norridge (28), the wife of the late Prince Daeron and the mother of his son Aegon is a handsome woman. Though few would consider her calculating or a schemer she is nevertheless a fervent supporter of her son's rights.
• House Baratheon of Storm's End, the children of Princess Rhaelle and her husband the Lord of Storm's End are in the line of succession to the Iron Throne if the line of the King and of Prince Daeron should go extinct.
• House X of Dorne, the children of Princess Daella and her husband Lord X of Dorne are in the line of succession to the Iron Throne if the line of the King, Prince Daeron and Princess Rhaelle should go extinct.
• House X of X, the children of Princess Rhae and her husband Lord X of X are in the line of succession to the Iron Throne if the line of the King, Prince Daeron, Princess Rhaelle and Princess Daella should go extinct.

Military Strength: 10,000 men and the royal navy of 125 ships
History of the House:

The Lives and Reigns of the Targaryen Kings in the Age of Dorne
by Maester Norwin

And it cameth to be, in the one hundred and eighty fourth year after Aegon's Conquest that Aegon, the fourth of his name, the Unworthy called, should take grievously ill and die. And the king on his deathbed did proclaim and decree that his baseborn children should be hence considered legitimate. And the king sired many children. By his lawful wife, Naerys the Queen, who in the Targaryen fashion was his sister, he begot; Daeron and Daenerys. But by his mistresses he begot Daemon and Alysanne and Willow and Rosey and Aegor and Mya and Gwenys and Brynden and Shiera and many more. But greatest among them where Daemon and Aegor and Brynden and Mya and Gwenys, who was begotten by noble Westerosi ladies, and Shiera whose mother was of Valyrian nobility. But greatest among them all was Daemon who was the son of the Princess Daena. To him the King did bequeath his ancestral sword Blackfyre from which Daemon took his name. These where the children of Aegon, the fourth of his name, this was his house.

Now did Daeron, the second of his name, ascend the Iron Throne. And Daeron was called the Good, and he showed favor upon his siblings and chiefly upon Daemon whom he honored greatly. And Daeron was wed to Myriah Martell, a Princess of Dorne and the new king now sought to bring that Princedom into the Realm, and he did offer his good-brother Prince Maron Martell the hand in marriage of his sister Daenerys if Prince Maron would bend the knee to Daeron. And the Prince of Dorne accepted. In this manner Daeron brought Dorne into the realm. It was in the second year of his reign, in the one hundred and eighty sixth year after Aegon's Conquest that Daeron did thus bring Dorne into the Realm. And Daeron by his lady wife, Myriah the Queen, did beget four sons. And Daeron's sons where Balor and Aerys, Rhaegel and Maekar. These where the children of Daeron, the second of his name, this was his house.

And it cameth to be, in the one hundred and ninety fifth year after Aegon's Conquest, when Daeron, the Good called, had ruled his Realm for twelve years that his brother Daemon Blackfyre rose in revolt against the Iron Throne. For Daemon Blackfyre had coveted the hand of his sister Daenerys and when Daeron gave her to the Prince of Dorne he listened to wicked words from men who doubted the parentage of the king. And his brother Aegor, Bittersteel called, was among those who spoke these words. So did Daemon, rise in revolt against the lawful king, and the Realm reaped bitterly what Aegon the Unworthy had sown.

And it cameth to be, that Daemon Blackfyre and Bittersteel and all those who was with them, marched on King's Landing with a great host of rebels and traitors. And among them where Daemon's sons Aegon and Aemon, and Ser Quentyn Ball and Lord Costayne, and Lord Shawney, and Lord Butterwell, and Lord Peake and Ser Eustace Osgrey and a great many other great lords and noble knights. But the king's son and heir Baelor, who was the Prince of Dragonstone and his third son, Maekar who was named the Prince of Summerhall in the Dornish marches raised a host and marched to give battle against the pretender. And with them where Lord Arryn, and Lord Hayford, who was the King's Hand, and Ser Gwayne Corbray of the Kingsguard and the Knight of Ninestars and Ser Wyl Waynwood and Brynden, Bloodraven called, and a great many other great lords and noble knights. But not all the King's supporters had come in time, and it was said that Lord Bracken was absent from Daemon's host for he had gone to raise troops across the Narrow Sea.

And it cameth to be, that the two great hosts met at the place that should hence be known as Redgrass fields. And there, with the blessing of the warrior the noble princes Baelor of Dragonstone and Maekar of Summerhall did vanquish the traitors host, for Prince Maekar arrayed his forces before the rebels and withstood their wicked assault upon him with great valor and bravery, while Prince Baelor rallied a host of Stormlords and Dornishmen and struck the rebels in the rear. Thus, like a hammer against and anvil, did the king's loyal men, led by his brave sons, with the blessing of the Warrior, in the name of honor, vanquish the rebel army. But Bloodraven, wielding a mighty bow, felled Daemon and his two sons with his arrows, proving that not all bastards are false. Thus endeth the first Blackfyre rebellion. But Bittersteel escaped the battle and would return to torment the Realm once more and haunt the righteous and true.

Alright since Cybernetic Socialist Republic does not want the match between Princess Rhaelle and the Baratheons, I will make Rhaelle's husband be Lucerys Velaryon. Their descendants not the Baratheons will then be in the line of succession. I will update it accordingly. I would also like Lord Lucerys, as the king's brother-in-law to be Master of Ships.

Also Acroticus I was thinking if maybe you could add a link to my line of succession to the OP, it might be useful for people to have access to it when making decisions about whom to back.

Did Aegon V exist in this timeline?

Yes. His life is not materially changed from GRRM's timeline, and he died at Summerhall.

Ah, but he never became King, considering the OOC Opening Post?

There's nothing in the OP that I can see, at least, indicating that Aegon V didn't become king as in the original timeline. Generally, until changed by an app, assume things are approximately as they are in canon.

Lady [WIP] - (Open to creating a character from a nearby House from the Crownlands, Riverlands, or Stormlands or taking on a character from one of the accepted Houses). She serves as Lord Davos' regent in Duskendale while he serves on the Small Council.

This app looks great! Excited to have some Crownlands lords.

Not sure if you did this on purpose or not, but Ser Dallar Reyne is married to a Rykker, unhappily. Perhaps Ser Dallar and Lord Davos, or at least Ser Hoster will have some beef.

There's nothing in the OP that I can see, at least, indicating that Aegon V didn't become king as in the original timeline. Generally, until changed by an app, assume things are approximately as they are in canon.

Thanks; I might make an admirer of his'.

I don't see anything in the OP that suggest that Aegon V could not have been king and my line of succession post (which Acroticus had no objections to) explicitly named him as such, so I assume this is acceptable. The major change to his life is that he appointed a Reyne as Hand.

Thanks! Note that I may still not have the time or energy for this...
