Rhaegar's Rebellion
To those it may concern,
In light of recent events, it is the judgement of his Grace, Aerys of House Targaryen, Second of His Name, King of the Andals, Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdom's and Protector of the Realm, and his Small Council, that his son and heir, Rhaegar, Prince of Dragonstone, is hereby charged with high treason, conspiracy, murder, and oath breaking. Similarly charged are, Elia Martell of Dorne, and their issue, Aegon of House Targaryen, and Rhaenys of House Targaryen.
For their conspiracy to overthrow their liege lord, and inflict harm upon, these aforementioned traitors are hereby attainted, stripped of all land, title, privilege, rank, and hereby sentenced to death.
Any and all men so misguided as to offer aid, or shelter to the fugitive Rhaegar Targaryen, you shall be subject to the same judgement that awaits all those that betray their oaths to the Crown.
Signed,
His Grace, Aerys of House Targaryen, Second of His Name, King of the Andals, Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.
The Realm is in turmoil!
Rhaegar Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone, and Heir to the Iron Throne, has been stripped of all land and titles, and sentenced to death. His crime? Conspiracy to overthrow the King.
As Madness has gripped Aerys, so too did his paranoia grow. As the realm grew restless under his misguided rule, the King began to see monsters in every shadow, and saw enemies everywhere. His weak rule allowed has left the Kingdom divided, and weak, with vassals fighting vassals, outlaws roaming the land, and corruption seeping into every office of the Realm. As he grew ever more unworthy, so too did Prince Rhaegar show himself more fit to lead. As the Prince surrounded himself with loyal followers and began his own family with Elia of Dorne, the King saw his rising star as a threat. And when threatened, the Mad King lashes out.
When Rhaegar sailed for Dragonstone on a warm summer day in 283 AC, the King struck. The Goldcloak's descended upon the chambers of Elia Martell, and slew her, still clutching her newborn son. Princess Rhaenys and her brother were set alight with Wildfire, and their deaths proclaimed as punishment for the treason of their parents. Aerys himself sent forth all the ravens at his disposal, naming his son a traitor, and placing the inheritance of the Iron Throne in the hands of the young Prince Viserys.
Now, as the Realm reels from the murder of the Princess and her children, all eyes turn to Dragonstone, where Prince Rhaegar prepared to reclaim what is rightfully his and avenge his family....
Hello NS!
With the final season of Game of Thrones nigh upon us, I felt the need to try out a new ASOIAF RP. Now, having seen numerous threads with many great RPers set in the War of the Five Kings, and Roberts Rebellion, I decided to fashion a new setting, an alternate history of sorts, by asking a very simple question.
What if the Mad King had acted on his suspicion that Rhaegar Targaryen was a traitor?
Set at the same time as Roberts Rebellion, we see here instead a rebellion of a different sort. Before eloping with Lyanna Stark, Rhaegar's wife and children were cruelly murdered by the Mad King, inciting the wrath of Dorne, and stirring turmoil in the Realm. With Rhaegar much beloved by the people and lordly class alike, this new conflict will no doubt be as bloody and as brutal as the real Rebellion.
Within this RP you will take charge of a Family in Westeros. Be a Great House like the Starks, Lannisters, or Martells, or a small one such as the Tarths or Darrys, you will have a say in who sits on the Iron Throne. In this newest ASOIAF RP, we forge our own path, and it is up to all of us to find out where it leads!
When creating your applications, remember, there are now two branches of House Targaryen for you to be loyal to, and it is up to you to choose to follow edicts from King's Landing, Dragonstone, or even try to win your independence.
As we adventure, there are some basic rules:
Rules1. The OP is Lord and Master, the Co-Ops are their hands. We have the final say, our word is law.
2. No Godmodding, Metagaming etc.
3. Be realistic. Westeros is famed for its realism and gritty stories. Stay within the realm of reason when fighting, traveling and conversing.
4. Time is going to be freeflowing, and will vary. If there is every a need for a major time skip players WILL be notified beforehand by at least a day in order to wrap up their dealings.
5.This will be an RP based on character development and progression, do not expect storylines to develop for you, make your own and involve other players. If you are stuck with nothing to do, OP/CO-OP will give your a task or an idea.
6. Keep the Lore restricted to A Song of Ice and Fire material only
6a. Remember, people die in Westeros. If you are in a bind, and death is the only option, deal with it.
7. Have FUN!
Westeros and Essos offer a wide array of different characters, from the chivalrous Knights of the Reach, to the tough and hardy Free Folk beyond the Wall. It is recommended that you play as an extant House or character as they are easier to play, however, if you prefer a custom made House, you will be allowed to make one. However, these will be reviewed stringently.
Your application will not be accepted until it is fully filled out.
