The year is 157 AC (After/Aegon's conquest). Westeros has spent the best part of three decades rebuilding after the disastrous civil war known as 'The Dance of the Dragons.' Not only was the realm devastated in the conflict between two Targaryen claimants, but the royal dynasty's power and influence was crushed and the dragons slain or missing. In the wake of the conflict, the newly crowned Aegon III set about reinforcing Targaryen power. While there were several small isolated conflicts, this largely took place on the shadow battlefield of courtiers and agents, the young king acting with a ruthless determination born from growing up at the heart of the terrifying conflict. Eventually his younger brother, Viserys Targaryen, who had been captured by Essosi pirates during the civil war, returned to Westeros and contributed to the King's efforts, and as the years went on and Aegon slipped increasingly into depression, Viserys took on an ever larger role in running the nation, as the Hand of the King. While confidence in the Iron Throne was rebuilt, the Targaryens cannot hope to yet command the loyalty or fear they inspired prior to the Dance, not just because their dragons are no more, but because many still remember the countless fields of fire which covered the lands. This year, Aegon has died on Dragonstone, a sudden illness the official reason for his death, and his young son, Daeron, has been crowned King of the Iron Throne. Daeron may be young and headstrong, but he is not incompetent and has devised a plan to secure the place of the Targaryens above the Lords of Westeros. He sees the continued independence of Dorne as a blight on Targaryen honour and seeks to kill two birds with one stone. Crush the Dornish and win the loyalty of the continent. His banners are already called, the armies of the Iron Throne biting at the bit to be unleashed. So begins the conquest.

[*]A note on non-canon houses

Because the RP is set well before the events of the book, every single house is pretty much a player creation, with very few guidelines being put in place for force certain characters. Thus it has been decided that non-canon houses, i.e. of the player's creation, will not be accepted. All this really means is players can't create claims to territory, and have to pick an existing coat of arms.

House Caron of Nightsong

House Information: House Caron is sworn to House Baratheon. Their seat of power is Nightsong, a stronghold located in Dornish Marches in the Stormlands, north of the Prince's Pass. House Caron is the leader of the Marcher lords of the Stormlands, and the head of the House holds the title of Lord of the Marches alongside the traditional title of Lord of Nightsong.

Since the death of Lord Rennifer Caron in the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, during which he had marched under the flag of Rhaenyra from early in the war all the way to the Second Battle of Tumbleton where he died by dragonfire, the House has been headed by his only surviving child: his daughter Cyrenna. Though there were many rumblings of discontent at the idea of there being not a Lord of the Marches, but rather a Lady of the Marches, Cyrenna has used political maneuvering and displays of sheer competence to earn the fealty and respect of the great majority of the Marcher lords.

House Caron has enjoyed a moderate growth in wealth and power in the past few decades under Cyrenna's rule, though that has only really translated to better trained and outfitted men at arms and somewhat less bickering from other Marcher lords. The recent increase in Dornish activity in the Marches has been a huge thorn in House Caron's side, and their hate for Dornishmen is a point of pride for them just as it is among all Houses in the Marches of the Stormlands. Cyrenna, and thus House Caron, has remained firmly loyal to the Targaryens of Rhaenyra's line, up to and including young King Daeron. All of this together means that the banner of black nightingales on a yellow field will certainly be among those marching south in the near future, perchance to conquer Dorne once and for all.

I'm down for this, Sini, if you'll have me!

I might go for the Redwynnes, or perhaps the Boltons or a Dornish House.

Nice, although while the identity of the key members of the guild may be hidden, you still need to write character sheets for them :)

That was the intention. The Master of Whispers will also know the Guildmaster's identity ahead of time, so once the character sheets are finished whoever is playing them will receive it.

Also assuming private messaging works by then.

I'd like to claim House Arryn and the minor houses of the Vale.

BTW guys, here's a list of Minor Houses by region:

You can't claim all of the minor houses of the Vale, you'd control House Arryn, and make sheets for that. If your application is successful, then if anyone else wishes to make a house in the Vale then matters will be discussed with you, but you do not have god-like control of that region.

I'll take the Tully's of Riverrun, with some riverlands on the side.

House Sigil:



House Name: House Tully
House Words: Family, Duty, Honor
House Decription/General Information (optional): Though it's roots lie long ago in the age of heroes, the high position of House Tully is a relatively new creation, created and cemented by the burning of Harren the Cruel. For supporting Aegon in his conquests, the Tullys were granted the lord paramouncy of the trident, ruling all lands from the God's Eye to the northern marshes. Though it commands the respect of most of the rivermen, many proud lords cannot forget that House Tully was their equal not so long ago. Despite this obstacle, the Tully spirit burns strong, and they assert their will with unmatched vitality. The family words, "Family, Duty, Honor", represent the mindset of the tullys; One must sacrifice for the good of the family, and stay true to one's word, whether it be to a servant or to the Throne.

I'm....just gonna work on redoing House Dayne. I still have the pictures saved and remember about half of the names for that bunch so there will be some tweaks as I re-write them. Probably won't get around to that til this weekend though. I'll redo Elaena as well, but she was a pretty easy sheet to put together, so might get that done sooner.

I'll do re-do a House Stark outline. Like, who the members are and maybe a paragraph or so on each.

But as for re-doing the entire thing, again I say no thank you.

House Name: Baratheon
House Words: Ours is the Fury



Name: Silas Baratheon
Age: 19

Personality: Brilliant, highly functioning, a sociopath. All words that describe Silas Baratheon. He holds little regard for custom, little regard for those he considers less intelligent, but retains a moral code that seems more green and yellow than red and blue. A master of deduction and logic, and detail-oriented, Silas is a master at uncovering mystery and solving puzzles - making him oddly suited to the courtly duties of a lord. He throws himself into this work with gusto - for which most are grateful. Silas possesses some skill with a sword in a Braavosi-esque style, self-taught, and regularly retreats into a mental castle where he stores swathes of information on multiple subjects. (Inspired by Sherlock Holmes)

Name: Ser Stevron Baratheon
Age: 17

Personality: Stevron is normal, compared to his family. He’s a tourney knight that loves japes, adventures, and exploring the wild countrysides of all six kingdoms. He’s even visited Dorne, as dangerous as that is for a man like himself. Having lived as his uncle had prior to his fight in the Marches, Stevron seeks a peaceable life where he fights, jousts, and drinks jollily with friends. He knows, ultimately, such isn’t going to happen. He’ll have to marry - something he personally detests. This isn’t out of dislike or hatred for women - he loves his sister, and any woman he meets… When people talk about them, though, Stevron doesn’t feel like his comrades. They’re just normal people - some might look better… but there’s no stirring in the loins like other men might have. He’s a complete contrast with his sister in that regard. Easily the best Baratheon fighter, Stevron is young, muscular, yet rather wiry. He’s more adept with the sword than the lance, though either is a legitimate weapon in his capable hands. Some say it’s a mule’s talent - never distracted. (An asexual in a land of whores and forced marriages)

Name: Shiara Baratheon
Age: 16

Personality: Shiara is the opposite of Stevron. Where he loves others too little, Shiara loves them too much. Avoid that for a minute, though - Shiara is more socially skilled than either member of her immediate family. Possessed of great social graces, perfect poise, and a stare that makes people melt, she’s something of a great communicator in her own right. Some might even call her innocent, had they no idea of her true nature. In actuality, Shiara is ruthless. She chases what she wants, is patient enough to enact plans to make it happen, and stays on top of things to make sure they succeed. This is as much so in governance, which she shares with Clyde on many an occasion, as it is in the realm of love and lust. Both are dear to Shiara’s heart. At least six members of castle staff, four women and two men, have spent ‘quality time’ with the lecherous woman. Silas doesn’t care. Stevron doesn’t understand. Clyde is too stressed and harried to have a sit-down, needing her support to keep things going. The Stag prances, mounting as it pleases, as every other beast is soon to see.

Name: Ser Clyde Baratheon
Age: 41

Personality: Clyde used to be happy. He really did. He rode the Stormlands on the back of his warhorse, smiling proud as his armor glinted in the air. He’d take his young squire of a nephew and ride for weeks at a time - climbing mountains and visiting dozens of lords, always with a smile and a wave that seemed to transcend any political issue or family rivalry. That Clyde died over six years ago, on a field northeast of the Dornish border. A band of over 1,300 deserters faced a troop of only two hundred horse from Storm’s End. Split in two, Clyde lead his force around the side, smashing into the center as Royce Baratheon rode hard frontally. His brother was thrown from his horse, a pike killing his horse, and was killed on foot in the ensuing skirmish. Clyde failed to reach his brother, surrounded by the enemy, in time. Ever since, the uncle Baratheon has been a silent, calm, and very stoic individual. His wife long passed and children dead young, he tends to all that remains of the stag’s family. It’s really to bad they’re all mad, in their own ways.

Name: Maester Grasshair
Age: 49

Personality: If Silas is Sherlock Holmes, Grasshair is a Moriarty. He bears no moral code save his vows of service, willing to do whatever he is asked. Thankfully, he’s not asked to do anything other than help people. A master medical man with skill at chemical and historical work as well, Grasshair’s primary job is to assist Silas in various tasks he derives from his basic practices of ruling. Medical examinations of slaughtered individuals - tests for various poisons in a dead knight’s work… recreating crimes with dangerous efficiency. If needs be, perhaps even committing a few. In his spare time, a strange devotee of the Drowned God - though rarely finding converts, he has a small flock at the docks of Storm’s End, whom often congregate in the massive storms that batter the castle. His reasons for these beliefs, whatever they might be, are his own.
