A Reyne-Tarbeck Rebellion RP
And during the reign of the Lords Gerold the Golden and Tytos the Toothless, these bannermen were the Reynes. Born a Reyne, Lady Ellyn married in to the Lannister family, hoping to make her self Lady of the Rock. During the final years of Lord Gerold's rule, she gained such influence as to make her family one of the most powerful Houses in the Westerlands, showering her brothers, cousins and uncles with land, titles and honours. And yet, her husband died before they could have a child, seeing the position of Lady of the Rock pass over her to her rival, Lady Jeyne Marbrand. Unable to make the new heir accept her hand, Ellyn was married off to the old Lord Tarbeck, sent out of the court of the Lannisters for good.
During the rule of the weak-willed Tytos Lannister, the Reynes and Tarbecks were able to one more take what was not theirs. Yet, with the return of the pragmatic Tywin, fresh from the War of the Ninepenny Kings, this all changed. Tywin made it his goal to take back House Lannister's position in the Westerlands, long marred by his father's inability to demand respect. During one such exercise, Lord Tarbeck journeyed to Casterly Rock to demand that Tytos retract the edicts his son had presented him with. However, he was imprisoned by Tywin, resulting in Lady Ellyn capturing three Lannisters in order to secure the release of her husband. Shortly afterwards, Tywin called the Lords Tarbeck and Reyne to court to answer for their crimes. In reply, they raised their bannermen in revolt.
This is a war-centric RP revolving around the conflict between the much-weakened House Lannister of Casterly Rock and the Houses Reyne of Castamere and Tarbeck of Tarbeck Hall. This conflict saw the return of Lannister supremacy to the Westerlands, and displayed Tywin Lannister's prowess as a nobleman.
You will play as Lords of the Westerlands during these turbulent times. After years, and indeed, decades of leeching off of the Lannisters you are being called to account. Will you side against your liege lord with the Red Lion in order to maintain the position you currently hold, or will you instead honour the oaths you have been lax in upholding to see Tarbeck Hall and Castamere smoking ruins? The choice is up to you.
However, choosing a side is not the only thing which must be decided upon. As a noble lord, you also have your lands and household to take in to consideration. War is expensive, and every man lost could see your influence in the realm diminish at such a rate that it appears that you chose the wrong side in the war.
