It is the year 171 of Aegon's Landing. Baelor the Blessed has just passed, leaving behind an ailing realm from years of mismanagement. The Faith of the Seven has been empowered to rival the King and Lord Paramounts, and rumours abound of a King Beyond the Wall threatening the Night's Watch. King Viserys, successor to Baelor, though a seasoned statesman, is already in his twilight years, and some doubt the ability of his son and heir to rule. Though Dorne has been brought into the kingdom through marriage pacts, the memory of the war ten years ago hold firm, and tensions exist still. Most distressing of all is the state of debt the Kingdoms find themselves in, owing a great sum to the Iron Bank of Braavos. The old maxim is whispered in the annals of power bringing with it a tinge of fear; The Iron Bank always gets it's due.

I am glad that the setting is a canon one, and the differentiation from lore begins from the roleplay's start. I am tentatively interested.

If you'll take a man who has recently returned from an absence then I am interested.

I appreciate the interest. The beauty of this start date is the lack of canon lore, so we have a lot of freedom to create our own characters and form our own version of westeros going forward.

Depending on how you guys play we could have the iron bank posing a serious threat, antagonize the free cities and the Kingdom of the Three Daughters could rise again. Should the High Septon be made a threat then the faith militant will make a comeback. Let the Nights Watch continue its decline and the King Beyond The Wall will strike.

Lots of fun ahead.

Hm. Not the interest I was hoping for, but then again I am an unproven GM on this site. I'd still like to run this game but perhaps now isn't a good time. I'll try a more free-form fantasy setting for now, I think and see if that is well received. Thanks for checking this out, guys, we'll try again later unless more interest is shown.

Hmmm interesting.

Hmmm interesting.

Thank you. Keep an eye out for this one, it is likely to become my next RP.

I'm interested.

Interested in House Arryn.
