Cold Hands

Great House family roleplay. Intrigue, plotting and everything juicy is advised.

I want to create a roleplay based around a so called 'Great Family' after rereading the ASOIAF novels. The house would be one of the oldest in the realm, while not wealthy but being exceedingly cleaver and strong in terms of arms of men. Invited to court by the new king as the new king wanted to wed one of the families daughters and have the patriarch serve as his hand and adviser. Things would be moved thru treachery, intrigue, assassination and plots. Later on it would be through war. Options for characters would children of my character the patriarch, other noble members and retainers. More information would come out if interest gathers. I

Culture: Vastorians are an odd bunch as they live in one of the strangest bits of Seyan. People of the marshes both men and women rule equally here with no gender disqualification like there is in other parts of the realm. The nobles and commoners alike don't have much but what they do have is well hidden. Normal Mostly hunters in the various swamps and rivers. Along with no gender bias laws most women don't wear dresses but in leather. As their living condition would make it a large pain. The people are not often very tall. Often called 'Bog People' since most people tend to not like them for living such a lifestyle. Farmers are often held in high regard for the crops and bountiful foods that grow like wildfire here.

Military: The Vastorian army isn't a conventional one. Master of ambush, treachery and secrecy. Even with military training most recruits are often don't need it as the living conditions are a direct result on how the army works, guerrilla warfare is their specialty. According merchants, Vastoria has the best spearsmen and archers but again merchants like to talk. Also utilizing poisons to the fullest extent as the swamps produce the most vile of sorts. Some of which are forbidden because of their cruel use. But to keep them safe anything goes, even if its a knife in the back.

Economy: The various streams, rivers and marshes are the highways which trade is conducted on. Roads like the outside world but to truly emerge oneself into their economy, you'd need a boat and a guide. Since their secrecy is beyond legendary. The swamps and marshes produce large amounts of sugar cane, gattorskin and pitch. Sugar cane which is generally beloved by everyone and is always in demand. Other than this these people tend to be very poor. Or if you need to know someones secret who's better?

Reputation: Vastors are the sneakiest lot that one would ever encounter and their world is even sneakier. While they aren't greedy they don't give away what they have for cheap. The nobles are even sneakier, their permanent homes are said to float threw the bogs, never standing in one place. If its true or not remains to be answered, but they'd let you believe what ever the wine merchant says. While they're secretive, Vastorians honor any agreement in trade or war and can be counted if an alliance is struck. The key word is 'if', since they tend to be compulsive liars. Is it the truth? Who knows but between their own kind only they know the truth.

History: Vastorian's are one of the original people of Seyan but have largely kept out of most affairs of the other kingdoms until recently. Otherwise Vastorian's have had a relatively peaceful existence. Several hundred years ago a major incursion was made into the lands of the swamp kings. However it was met was stiff resistance. Knights drowned in their armor, wounds festered and the animals feasted on the bones of the dead. Killing the prince and his father in its process. Destroying the kings line in the process. But since they keep to themselves Vastorian's have been rather shy. Only recently have they married outside of their own people. The biggest news to come out of these swamps is that the two eldest children of the current swamp king have married one another.

I'm here also. Just making a sheet, my spot

Female needed for intrigue, violence and medieval inspired rp. Name to be discussed.

The land is at war once again, civil war concerning the two illegitimate bastards of the late king. Each lord having to decide his fate by siding with which bastard would be best fit for the throne. Before her father had marched off to support the eldest royal bastard Aldric, she was told that she'd be wed to a friend of her father's overlord and friend High Lord Joran Malver. Being the only child and sole heir of his lands. The marriage however wouldn't be until the war had subsided, but to make sure she wouldn't be alone as the war continued on, Joran's own daughter Kylis. Never meeting her betrothed as the man she was to marry and her father marched off to war, but a young woman came two weeks later. While this new black haired woman was quite beautiful, there was a certain air of intrigue about her. Good or bad she couldn't tell but if her betrothed's daughter was like this at least when she got married things would be well...interesting.

Years later the war had ended, it was on the tongues of everybody but it was bad news for her. Come to find out that her father had died in the last battles of the war. Lord Malver brought her father's corpse home, while he generous for bring home her father to rest, he not once pressed the concerns of marriage. She had be fortunate though that at least he looked descent despite the peppered hair and slight notion of his receding hair line. Telling the young woman when she was ready, letting her bury her father and have her time to grieve. Even with her fathers death though she saw that there was something forming, this man was a walking enigma and she couldn't focus on her dead father right before her. What was going on with her?

He gave her more than ample time to grieve for her father and allowing proper burial. Allowing herself to marry this Joran Malver since it was already arranged, still the silent walking oddity. Arranging a feast and other sorts of joyous activities to take place as the kingdom was still licking its wounds. Sitting at table of honor with her now husband as music played and people feasted. He looked to her with a slight smile, more like a smirk, almost wicked it seemed in nature. "How would you like to go to the capital?" He asked her though a sound was drawn to her eyes, looking town as his hand tapped hers. Chainmail?? What was happening?
