Welcome to another Game of Thrones RP! We hope you will consider joining.
Premise:
This RP will take place in the world of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. The history presented by Martin will be largely accurate, but we will diverge from that history beginning in 200 AC, for players to make their own history and characters. You shall RP one of the Houses of Westeros jostling for power, and you may create whatever characters you wish as part of that house, within reason. As such, although characters may be similar to the characters created by Martin, each character will act as an invention of the person RPing them.
As explained above, players may change the history of their houses beginning in 200 AC. There are a handful of important historical events to know about:
The Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion - took place in 236 AC where Daeron Blackfyre, leading an army from Essos, was defeated by the Westerosi. Your older characters may have participated, or at least have memories of this war.
The Tragedy of Summerhall - A terrible fire broke out at the Targaryen’s residence at Summerhall in 259 AC, just one year before the start of the RP. The result was the death of King Jaehaerys Targaryen’s son and heir, Aerys Targaryen, leaving him with no male heir.
Rules:
1) No metagaming, goddmodding, etc.
2) No one-liners; every post should be at least two paragraphs, with 8 sentences minimum.
3) No fast traveling; the Game of Thrones world is huge, and it takes time to travel. In some circumstances, it may make sense for characters to retroactively predate their posts such that they arrive within a reasonable time, but characters cannot have knowledge of events that should not have reached them yet.
4) It is Game of Thrones; all characters can die.
5) Accept the rulings of the OP and Co-Op
6) If you do not post in the OOC, IC, or notify either the OP or Co-OP of an absence for more than a week, we may take control of and/or reassign your house.
7) Have fun!
The year is 260 AC. The Tragedy at Sumerhall, a terrible fire that broke out in the royal palace at Summerhall one year prior, left the elderly Jaehaerys Targaryen as King of the Seven Kingdoms without a male heir.. His eldest son, Aerys, was tragically lost to the fire, leaving his daughter, Rhaella Targaryen, set to inherit the Iron Throne. The Lords and Ladies of Westeros behind closed doors lament the idea of a woman as heir, and some have looked to another: the King’s nephew, born of his brother Daeron Targaryen. Aegon Targaryen, however, was born of Daeron’s love for a commoner, and many view him as not well suited to take the throne.
There is yet another option for the Lords of Westeros who would prefer to see a powerful king with the blood of the dragon. The claim of House Blackfyre, after failing to take the throne no less than four times prior, appears to be stronger than ever. Daemon Blackfyre IV, captain of the Golden Company, eyes the Iron Throne from his villa in Volantis, awaiting the right moment to claim his throne. With the Targaryen heir throne in doubt, some believe that now is his time.
Most likely to support this claim are the Lords of Westeros who have been most snubbed under Jaehaerys rule. Jaehaerys friendship with his Hand, Allistor Reyne, has led to the Reynes becoming one of the most powerful families in Westeros. Having been granted Harrenhal several years prior, the Reynes now command as many men, horses, and as much wealth as any other family in Westeros. So much has the wealth of House Reyne grown that there are doubtless numerous houses who are unnerved by their rise.
