[OOC] Blood Runs Over Westeros: A Game of Thrones RP

[Asura]

Okaaay. I'll write up some Starks. I should ask though...

How pretty is this Crakehall lass? Lord Stark might uh... 'humor' his fiance a bit before breaking said engagement first depending on that answer.

[FourtyTwo]

I think it was to Evan, the secondborn- not the Lord themselves. And also, I think Evan was 14? They're teens, and while a teen Stark romance would be fucking hilarious, they are young :D

@kingkonrad

Evan is a dumb name, so I'm dropping those. I can't play chars I don't have sheets for anyway.

And, if it was for his younger bro, he might say fuck it if she brings widow's wail with her.

[agentmanatee]

@Asura lol that was the plan. Crakehall sends Leona, his youngest daughter with Widows wail to the Starks to be a ward to their lord and marry their youngest son when they both come of age, linking them to Tyget and makingntheir son a prince should he become king

[Gowi]

Thanks for Abefroeman for filling me in, but I think I might tentatively throw my hand in this RP (oh hay agentmanatee <3). My RP schedule will be pretty wonky but I am so interested in playing something ASOIAF-related I'm going to try to squeeze in. I noticed you have no Tully's?

@agentmanatee

Sacrificing his sword and his daughter to a wolf. Savage.

Reforging Ice will be a process, but I'm sure House Stark can afford a suitable smith, even without Tywin's riches.

I should finish my sheet up in a day or so, although popping out Direwolf names will slow me down quite a bit. :P

[Bluetommy]

@Asura You already have the Oathkeeper part of it, now you just need to add Widow's Wail, I'm sure some bored Qohorian will do it for a couple Westerosbux

[FourtyTwo]

@Gowi

All the Tully's! That would be awesome if you could join in, we could definitely use one!

As far as I know, the Lord Tully was old, so starting afresh with a young character is doable.

@bluetommy2

Or Golden Dragons, ya know :D

@bluetommy2

Oh, I know. Looking forward to swinging a giant slab of valyrian steel.



If only females could inherit in the north...

[Bluetommy]

@Asura They can, all the male candidates need to be dead or at the wall tho, or there just could be no male candidates, look at Maege Mormont.

[FourtyTwo]

@Asura

There's at least one Stark that was a she-wolf, definitely a really capable warrior of some kind....might have even used that image to describe her looks.

[Bluetommy]

Nevermind

[Abefroeman]

You could also just write that your female character was chosen to be the leader by her father. The North is different from the rest of the realm, so have at it.

[FourtyTwo]

Meh, could do. But that leads to the problem of succession...it would have to be matrilineal as a marriage (nigh-on impossible to do, unless it's a lowborn/minor Lord), or would be down to familial marriage....ie. a cousin, or a nephew marrying her, which isn't quite incest, but almost is. :D

Plus, any male heir would be exceptionally angry, if it was Absolute Cognatic succession, and went to the eldest daughter.

[Abefroeman]

Guess people won't like me being Queen then. ;P

[Bluetommy]

@Abefroeman Yeah, the Seven Kingdoms don't like queens, especially considering the last time a Targaryen queen sat the throne.

@kingkonrad

Lyanna would be proud.

[FourtyTwo]

@Abefroeman

Nah, Queens/Ladies are fine, so long as they're absolute. They need a clear line of succession, and as I said, they need to either get with another family member, themselves being the main ruler and the other just a Lord, yet not in real power, or matrilineally marry. Even bastards could join in, and solve this problem, ironically.

For Rhaenyra, that could even be Trevan Waters. A bastard, solemnly proclaimed by Rhaenyra to be a Blackfyre, marrying in, would lead to a Targaryen spawn. Or, just matrilineally marrying a minor noble, like literally a nobody, would work.

Shit, I might have given up a bit of your gig, haven't I?

[Abefroeman]

Who knows, the future is not set in stone. Also, I would have to say that Queen Daenerys, being the very much in charge, anti-slavery person, women have just as much a right to rule, would have probably overturned the decision of the Great Council of 101 AC. I highly doubt she'd just go from being a conquering warrior queen to a "Well, women are only for making babies."

[Abefroeman]

And the last time a Queen sat the throne would have been Daenerys. The Dance of Dragons was the only other time to see a Queen of sorts, though it was not official as the kingdom was split in two. Idk.
