You take that back, Aegon II was the warrior king that would have saved the realm. It is a travesty that his legal inheritance was stolen from him by a father who forgot the customs by which he was uplifted and a sister wholly unsuited for power. Grrr

No. Drogon died of old age but was able to make a batch of eggs. All the attempts at hatching them failed (maybe the blood of Aegon VI is preventing this? Hmm, something to ponder)

Rhaegal killed Viserion in a dance and Rhaegal died after being shot by a scorpion bolt. This led to Euron’s disappearance. Who’s body was never recovered after Rhaegal crashed into the Silence.

So all that’s left is the one egg.

Dragons can live for around two hundred years from what I've read on the ASOIAF wiki. Balerion the Dread lived a bit less than that, and I fancy Drogon was quite similar to him. I'm not certain Drogon would have been old enough to die in that way, as only around a hundred years have passed.

Rhaenyra would have been the better ruler, though, reasonably speaking, neither was fit except by virtue of blood. Out of curiosity, what do you believe moved Ser Cristen Cole, hitherto one of Rhaenyra's greatest supporters, to becoming the leading supporter of her half-brother's claim? Was it his disgust at her conduct? Or was he a man spurned?

These are the first dragons in quite some time, and no one really knows what the hell they're doing with them unlike back when Balerion was around and knowledge of dragons was still fairly decent.

Could be he disliked Corlys and didn't want to see his grandsons on the throne, so he supported a Targ as opposed to a Velaryon

Balerion was around 250 when he died of old age, so dying already of old age would be out of the ordinary, but then again.. other dragons have died of "old age" at relatively young ages.

Drogon suffered a lot of wounds from the Invasion, and like Jon died a lot sooner than most expected. Drogon died around 374, but was fairly weak by that point. He could barely fly as his wing was torn.

So “old age” is just a way of saying he died from natural and unnatural causes.

Also on Criston Cole, I like to believe he was ambitious and wanted to basically rule as regent possibly. It’s also likely that he wanted to see the end of the dragons, and what better way to do that than have a War of the Rose....I mean Dance of Dragons.

I think Val is referring to the year.

So his wounds quickened the end. Makes some sense.

That's an interesting theory, but he had no way of knowing how the war would play out. He switched sides almost as soon as Rhaenyra married Laenor Velaryon.

That's a possibility. He does appear to have been contemptuous of the Velaryons. Would he have behaved differently if Rhaenyra had been wed to someone else? That's not too probable in my view.

We saw Rhaenyra's rule, and it was so bad Kingslanding rose up against her, it was so bad that a half-dead Aegon who had no army was able to win the support of her home seat of Dragonstone. And while the Greens were portrayed as the bad guys, everyone in lore seems to have agreed that Rhaenyra really did spoil the idea of a woman ruling. Aegon the Unworthy was dismissed as a bad in king primarily because of his desire to pass off a bastard as his heir. Rhaenyra almost achieved that.

And besides, how awesome is this exchange?
Rhaenyra: Dear brother. I had hoped you were dead.
Aegon II: After you. You are the elder.
Rhaenyra: I am pleased to know that you remember that. It would seem we are your prisoners ... but do not think that you will hold us long. My leal lords will find me.
Aegon II: If they search the seven hells, mayhaps.


And I am firmly in the camp of Cole being the "noble" traditionalist. He watched Rhaenyra grow up since she was seven, she developed (apparently IRL a normal occurrence) a sexual desire for him as her father figure, Daemon took advantage since he is this creepy ambitious villain, Cole was repulsed and offended (perhaps because he had put her on a pedestal), they fell out, she slept with the first handsome knight at hand as was her nature, and from then on they were deadset against each other.

I dunno, the view of Cole being a traditionalist makes a far better story as opposed to the tired out "old guy tries to sleep with a teenager". And by gods the Greens need some nuance to them. Hell, reading the Princess and the Queen as Daemon's attempt to make himself king and the various lords who wanted to benefit from it (Corlys) and those who stood against him (Otto), is far better than "woman loses her crown due to misogyny, but make sure you forget that she was unfit to rule and had married a man no one wanted anywhere near the throne."

Check with Warg or Nux before doing so. Also to answer Rev's question about Sansa.

Sansa's identity is kept a secret until Cersei's death. (This is a sequel to my feast for crows RP.) Once that is taken care of, Petyr reveals her identity during her wedding to Harold Hardying. Robert Arryn dies from his "illness" and Harold takes his spot as Lord. Eventually Sansa gets pregnant and gives birth about half way into the invasion of the Others.

Then you have the event I call, "The Flight of the Falcon" where the untouched Arryn army, led by Harrold descends from the Vale to help those escaping to the South. They reach Moat Calilin and help defend it, but eventually they fall and Harold dies.

With Harrold's death, Sansa is able for marriage. Littlefinger takes advantage of this immediately and soon enough following the invasion, she is with child once more.


Also I'm fine with a Sword of the Morning, (cause any man can be killed) just make sure he is of the right character. Honorable, kind, just, charitable, etc. Basically the perfect visual of a knight, someone who refuses to play dirty. Also he can be of any age of 17+. The last Sword of the Morning in this canon was Edric "Ned" Dayne.

We don't know how Arthur died, but I don't think it was the same in the show.

House: Stark-Targaryen
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Titles: Cregan, First of His Name, Rightful King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.
Lord Paramount of the North (formerly), Lord of Winterfell (formerly), Warden of the North (formerly)

House Sigil: Quartered Sable, a dragon thrice-headed gules and Argent, a direwolf courant cendrée (A Quartered sigil, with the Sigil of House Stark in the top left and bottom right with the House Targaryen sigil in the top right and bottom left.)

Appearance (Picture appreciated):
Image

Personality: Kind to those close to him, but ruthless to his enemies. Cregan, like his namesake, is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve victory. Like his great-great-uncle, his grey cold eyes reflect his frozen heart. Cregan believes that the two twins are usurpers, and are deserving of exile. He seeks justice for the assassination of his father, and plans to "Rout out the snakes and scorpions at court. They will not last, Winter is Coming."

While known to be a cold hearted Northman, he is a loving member of his family. He cares deeply for his wife, as well as his cousins. He is also warm to his distant family in house Blacken and house Thenn. He does not want to see his Targaryen in-laws hurt, if they are willing to stay out his way.
Skills:
  • Master Swordsman
  • Brilliant Strategist
  • Fair Administrator
  • Poor diplomat
Weaponry (If any): The Valyrian Steel Sword, Dark Sister. Castle forged Longsword and dagger. Ironwood shield.
Military Strength: 30,000 (if all the Northern bannermen are called)
Biography:
Born to Lord Paramount Tohrren Stark, the grandson of the legendary hero Jon "The Whitewolf" Stark, and Lady Lalya Lannister of Casterly Rock. Cregan's birth was created to end the blood feud between House Stark and Lannister as payment for the Red Wedding. Cregan was born the only son between Tohrren and Lalya, in 382 AC with his younger sister just a year later. He inherited the Stark looks, with a long face, dark brown hair (almost black) and grey eyes. While Arya would take after their mother with blonde hair and green eyes.

Due to Tohrren's efforts of supporting house Targaryen during the second Faith Militant uprising the two houses became much closer with the renewal of the Pact of Ice & Fire. Once Cregan was 8, he was betrothed to the youngest daughter of King Gaemon's sister. Shortly afterwards he followed his father to King's Landing who had become Hand of the King. It was during this time that he met his in-laws, and became acquaintances with the sons of Daeron and Jaehaerys. He would also meet his betrothed, Rhaenyra Targaryen. The two did not get along, as Cregan was very adventurous and got into trouble often while Rhaenyra preferred not to upset her mother and act like a royal. This would lead to some arguments between Gaemon and his sister, which Cregan once overheard. Viserra would complain about the savagery and the senseless company the Northmen brought to court. This made Cregan realize how much the South looked down upon the Northmen.

Cregan was eventually able to befriend Rhaenyra when she insisted on training with him. Her mother had forbidden her from picking up a blade, after she was caught practicing in the training yards. One night, the two sneaked out on to the beach where the two would fight for several hours. They agreed to continue doing this every other night, and soon enough Rhaenyra had grown to be quite smitten with Cregan. What had originally been a political marriage turned into a marriage of love. Soon enough, the two were married with one ceremony in the Sept of Baelor and a smaller one in the Godswood when Cregan was 15 and her 14. Due to the friendship between Gaemon and Torrhen the ceremony went on for five days and the number of Northmen at court grew. Rumors had it that Viserra's anger knew no bounds with Gaemon trying his best to appease her. Eventually two years later, and the court had become split between the Reds and the Greys. Those that liked the Northmen and loved the generosity of Torrhen as Hand against Viserra and those that wanted the Northmen to return from where they came. Gaemon being the execellent diplomat he was, was able to keep the peace between the two factions, and tried his best to appease both.

However, this did not last long and soon enough, towards the end of the year in 399 AC, Torrhen grew sick and eventually passed away. The Grand Maester, Roland Hightower cut open Torrhen to discover that he had consumed Tears of Lys. Upon announcement of the Hand's death, the realm was split. Some silently cheered for the death of the savage Northman while others wept for days. The King however, locked himself in his study for several days and refused to see anybody. He only ate the food and drink that were delivered to him. Cregan on the other hand, was furious. He ordered Robert Baratheon search the city for the culprit and to search the court. However, after several days they found no evidence and noted that the Grand Maester's supplies were untouched. Eventually Gaemon came out from his mourning and sought to calm Cregan, but Cregan would have none of it. He spat at the foot of the King, cursed his name and walked out, many called for punishment for disrespecting the King but Gaemon let it go, for he too knew the pain of losing a father. Cregan gathered his things, his wife, direwolf, Ice, his father's remains and the other Northmen then started on the road back north. He stopped only once at Blackwood Hall to pray before the heart tree and then set back on the road.

For a year, the Northmen remained at peace yet many called for justice for their late lord. Yet Cregan remained silent. Cregan had ordered that Torrhen be buried in the Winterfell Crypts next to his father, Robb. Cregan was sighted visiting the Crypts almost every day but then that turned to once a week. He sought comfort from his wife, and thus Cregan went to the Crypts one more time and he decided to visit the statue of the "White Wolf". It was here that while examining the statue he had found a loose stone. Cregan pushed it back into place, which led to a small compartment within the statue opening. Inside was a slender blade wrapped in a black cloth, along with a grey tome. Cregan took the contents and without alerting anyone took them to his private study.

Once the door was locked, he unwrapped the blade. The blade felt odd in his hand, almost unnatural like it was made for a woman. Once the blade was in the light, he noticed that it's color was like that of Ice. Valyrian Steel. He then decided to examine the tome, hoping to find answers. The tome he found was written by Jon Stark in his elder years. Jon decided to record his life story, of how he was raised a bastard in Winterfell, a son to Eddard Stark. How he joined the Night's Watch, gave up his vows for Stannis to become legitimized and fought alongside his King. How he tried his best to defend against the Others, to no avail. Jon considered himself a failure, so many lives died and blamed himself. Then Cregan reached the final pages, of how Jon learned from Howland Reed the truth of his parentage. How his brother, Bran had returned home one last time with a Valyrian Sword named Dark Sister in hand, before returning beyond the Wall to become the Three Eyed Crow. Jon was not a Snow, nor a Stark. He was a Targaryen. Although he was born a bastard to Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen his legitimization at the hands of Stannis no longer marked him a bastard. Jon had also recorded the realm's suspicion of Aegon VI, who Daenerys had claimed as "The Falseborn", and many other lords questioned if he truly was the son of Rhaegar. However those thoughts were quickly forgotten with the arrival of the Others. Jon's final words were how he did not want to press his claim, after so much death and destruction. He cared little for some chair in the south, the realm did not need another war. Jon ordered that this tome be kept secret, along with the blade and that they be buried with him.

Cregan sat on this knowledge for several days, until suddenly to the surprise of the North he abdicated as Lord Paramount and Lord of Winterfell to his cousin Robb Stark. He granted Robb all the titles he held, along with Ice and was stated saying, "A Stark must always sit in Winterfell, and I am no Stark." Several months later, in 401 AC, news of Gaemon's death reached the North. Shortly afterwards came word of Daeron and Jaehaerys' claims, along with the call for a Great Council. That was when Cregan decided now was the time. After his cousin pledged his loyalty to him, and called upon all the northern vassals to do the same Cregan was crowned before the Winterfell heart tree. Cregan took the new surname of Stark-Targaryen and changed his sigil. Now he sends out ravens to the realm, letting them know of his claim, the proof he holds and the blade he wields. After being convinced by his advisers and wife, Cregan will be coming the Great Council to make his claim, as the rightful King.

She cares deeply for her family and is the voice of reason to Cregan's headstrong actions. She is one of the few people that help calm her husband's rage. She hopes that at the Great Council she can reach a peaceful conclusion between her husband and her cousins.

  • Great Diplomat
  • Fair Strategist
  • Poor Administrator
Weaponry (If any): The Valyrian Steel Sword, Dark Sister (shares it with her husband), castle-forged short-sword and dirk.
Military Strength: 20 personal guard
Biography: Born the last child of Viserra Targaryen, Rhaenyra was groomed to be the perfect princess. Her mother forbade any use of swords, or daggers. Having her septa drill her in the fine arts of a lady.

Once she was seven, she was told she was planned to marry a Northman. Her mother for several days told her child how vile, and savage Northmen are. This created an image of some kind of weird creature that she was going to marry. Yet when she met the boy, he was not vile, nor savage. Yet, he was strange at times as he was very energetic. At first Rhaenyra wasn't so sure of the boy, but then they started to play games together. She would find herself running through the Red Keep or playing with sticks with Cregan. That was until they were caught by her mother. Viserra commanded Cregan never to come near her daughter again until their wedding day while she had Rhaenyra be guarded by a new sworn sword, Jacelyn Manning.

As the days went on, she rarely saw sight of Cregan who had become sort of a friend. She knew one thing, that fighting with those sticks made her happy. Then one night, she decided to sneak out so she could continue being trained by Cregan and soon enough they were always training. Eventually she was married to Cregan and following Torrhen's death went North with her husband to become the Lady of Winterfell.

Even though she was a Lady, Rhaenyra continued her training. Eventually befriending the lady warriors of House Mormont and House Thenn. At first she was worried when her husband told her the news of his parentage. Yet, she comforted him and assured him she would have his back, as he had her's went they were younger. She then began to teach Cregan more in the ways of diplomacy, hoping that these lessons will help him present his case better.

Military Strength: 4,000 Winterfell men, and 30,000 if all vassals are called.
Biography: Born of the line of Rickon Stark, the line has been close cousins with that of Jon Stark's. They were commanders of Moat Cailin, serving at the Wall, or acting as bodyguards or close advisers to their Lord-Cousins. Robb like his father, never expected to be Lord of Winterfell and was groomed never to be one. He instead took to reading books rather than practicing in the field with his cousin or younger brother.

Then suddenly, his cousin granted him all his titles. Then shortly afterwards had a talk with the boy, asking for his help in claiming the Iron Throne. Robb immediately agreed, as he always wanted to help his cousin. Now, is the boy ready for war?

Name: Jerold "The Blazing Sun" Thenn
House: Thenn
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Titles: Lord Commander of the Wolfguard
House Seat: N/A
House Sigil: Thenn
Allegiance paid to: House Stark
Appearance (Picture appreciated): The Thenn
Personality: The Thenn is proud, boisterous, and fierce, and impressed only by those who earn his respect. Jerold inspires a great loyalty in those that follow his command, and is a great warrior.

Skills: [list]
[b]Weaponry (If any):
Iron Axe, Bronze Sword (for ceremonies)
Military Strength: 10 men and women (including himself) of the Wolfguard
Biography: Born the second son of Sigorn II of House Thenn, Jerold always envied his elder brother who was expected to inherit Karhold. Yet, that did not stop him from trying to become a better fighter. Soon enough, he did just that. He fought and fought, until there was no more soldiers to beat. He then decided to travel the North, seeing who he could best next.

Eventually when word of Cregan crowning himself reached his ears, he traveled to Winterfell to see this new King. Upon meeting Cregan, he laughed and mocked the boy king's authority. That was until Cregan challenged him to a duel. The Thenn accepted the moment Cregan finished his sentence. The two prepared in the Winterfell yard and began fighting. Cregan remained on the defense, dodging all of the Thenn's strikes. Eventually the Thenn grew tired and spat in Cregan's eyes to blind him. Cregan's direwolf was watching the fight, and thus was able to see through his eyes to fight.

Then Jerold slipped, just for a moment and Cregan knocked him to the ground. He held the practice blade to Jerold's throat, and they both smiled. As Jerold smiled, he used his feet to knock Cregan to the floor. Then Jerold climbed on top of Cregan and tried to wail on him, but Spring pounced on him and thus the two called it a draw. Afterwards Cregan noted his excellent fighting skills as a Thenn and asked him to lead his elite guard that would protect him as he saw no greater warrior to protect a King. He also promised further battles which the Thenn happily agreed to take the position. Now he stands loyal at his liege's side, ready to take defeat any that would oppose him.

If Cregan isn’t a Stark (per a quote from his biography) why does he wear their name?

I roleplay two characters from House Dayne. You’re allowed to control ancillary characters too. For example, I will be controlling Lord Dayne’s young children.

Ancillary characters are for 2nd tier characters. They’re important and will appear in your writing and you will directly control them but they aren’t THAT important.

If you have a major character that you know will appear a lot in your writing and is important than you need to make an app for him/her. Like our Dayne player here is controlling the SoTM but also Lord Dayne As Lord Dayne is Also playing a big role.

Also Warg, yes Bran is still alive...technically. You know, being a tree and all.

I'm sure one of the Great Houses would enjoy that. If you're truly bold though we are still in need of House Greyjoy and House Martell to round out the Lord Paramounts.

Educate me enough, I would consider it, but the prospect of creating my own house is very alluring.

We could always use another vassal to add to the convoluted mess that is the Riverlands.
