ASOIAF: The Last Dance

@Takyon Aside from Rhaegon (me) and Jon (Co-GM), there are currently two players with tentative claims for the Westerlands and Stormlands, as well as one player interested in writing a sworn sword.

ASOIAF: The Last Dance

Glad to have you onboard, @Takyon! Most All of the planning seems to be happening in the discord, so if you have your sights set on a station higher than a sellsword, it would def help to give it a look.

Vergilius

Vergilius Pontem

Age: XXIX

Sex: Masculum

Occupation: Vergilius is the son of the most prolific bridge-builder in the Roman Empire, and has thusly never toiled a day in his life. If one were to describe Vergilius with an occupational title, it would be that of a philosopher. Though most traditional Roman philosophy focuses on law, either through legal rights or punishment, Vergilius has adopted an egalitarian philosophy that he frequently preaches in public squares, concert halls, and the muck-lined streets of Rome. He is a popular figure among Rome's slaves and commoners, who know him as "Vergilius the Gentle".

Appearance: Vergilius is a comely man who appears younger than he is. He wears his sandy blonde hair in the typically short-cropped style of his people, wearing decorated robes, leather sandals, and an array of finery around his neck and fingers. He is shorter than most men, which he counteracts with a notably deep, soft-spoken voice. He has pale green eyes, a soft chin, and wears no beard or mustache.

Personality: Vergilius is, in a word, clever. He spends his days in his father's manse idly lazing and philosophizing until he has something worthwhile to say, and then -- typically once a fortnight -- he journeys down the hill his home sits atop and preaches a lifestyle of love and equality to the people of Rome. There are occasionally senators seen in crowds of followers, more interested in the audience a merchant's son commands than what he has to say.

Equipment: Vergilius, aside from his robes and jewelry, carries nothing on his person. It is plain to see that a sword has no place in his hand, and Vergilius is simply not the type to conceal a dagger for self-protection. Instead, Vergilius is typically hounded by two bodyguards, Titus and Spurius.

Skills: Vergilius is an intelligent, learned man. Rather than sharing a senator's knowledge of historied laws or a scholar's knowledge of erudite trivia, Vergilius' intelligence comes from a knowledge of people; He knows when to employ the abbreviations and slang of slaves and fish-mongers, and he knows when to eloquently wax about the Gods in front of noblemen. Aside from his ability to read an audience, Vergilius' charisma extends to interpersonal relationships and casual conversation, making his name at least known in Rome's upper echelons. He is uproariously comical when he needs to be, and gravely serious when it is to his advantage. Vergilius somehow never stutters, misspeaks, or makes remarks that can be given immediate rebuttals, and seems as comfortable in any legal debate or philosophical discourse as a gladiator would be in his arena.

Flaws: Vergilius's main defense is his sharp tongue, though this is also a great weakness -- No tongue is so sharp that it can duel with an unreasonable man's sword, and no words are more convincing than the gold in an assassin's pocket. Despite having spent his 32 years becoming as clever as he could, cleverness is historically a poor substitute for martial skill in a number of scenarios, as any Roman historian could tell you.

Backstory: Vergilius is the only child of Lucius Pontem, Rome's finest bridge builder. Due to the extent of Lucius' wealth, Vergilius has always enjoyed a life of luxury, at the cost of his father's work keeping him away from home for long periods of time. In his absence, Vergilius would spend time with his father's many servants, slaves, and retainers. This would not only give Vergilius a soft spot in his heart for the common man, but make conversation his greatest hobby, even at a young age. Books sent by his father on bridge-building assignments would further his philosophical knowledge, and before long, Vergilius was known for his sharp wit and gentle manners within the immediate lands.

ASOIAF: The Last Dance

The year is 340 AC. The current summer has lasted for seven years, and while harvests have been bountiful for some time, maesters of the citadel unanimously agree that only a few short weeks separate the realm's sun-drenched gardens from a brisk, short autumn. A twin-tailed comet has sprung up from the horizon and is hurtling towards the Sunset Sea in the West, while in the East, the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms lays dying in her chambers.

Where countless armies and assassins have failed, a summer sickness is slowly succeeding. Though originally troubled with little more than a cough, Queen Daenerys Targaryen is now slowly dying in the Red Keep, only a decade after the untimely death of her husband and nephew, King Aegon IV. While the Seven Kingdoms prospered during their reign following a decisive victory in the War For the Dawn, the queen's impending death leaves Westeros on the brink of collapse for the first time since the War of the Five Kings.

In the Stormlands, Jon Targaryen, the eldest son and legitimized bastard of Aegon Targaryen, plots in the ruins of Summerhall. On the island of Dragonstone, the younger, trueborn son of the king and queen, Rhaegon Targaryen is making preparations for his coronation. As lowborn are wont to do, eyes on the white-hot comet making its way across the sky have lead to several theories for its importance. Southerners say it falls to mark the death of Queen Daenerys, while Northerners proclaim it is the "Sword that will Slay the Spring", an omen of a bitter winter yet to come. All throughout the realm, this lord and that lord whisper that it is white for Jon's sigil or Rhaegon's pure blood, though its two tails have not gone unnoticed by either side. There are whispers of war, and as Daenerys grows sicker, these whispers are becoming louder.

Timeline

300 AC

• Aegon lands in Westeros with the Golden Company at his back. He quickly captures the undefended Stormlands, and though the Golden Company clashes with loyalist forces under Mace Tyrell, house Hightower and other conspirators among the reachmen turn on their liege lord, and Mace is defeated. The Dornish forces positioned in the Prince's Pass rendezvous with this combined force and sweep the remaining Lannister and Tyrell forces from the Crownlands. In the north, Stannis is successful in liberating Winterfell from the Boltons with the help of the northern houses. Davos Seaworth returns with Rickon Stark in tow, Stannis names the boy Lord of the North and wins the loyalty of the kingdom.

• Barristan Selmy and Victarion Greyjoy are successful in scattering the Yunkaii host outside Meereen, the great battle attracting Drogon back to the city with Dany in tow. She is convinced by her advisers to leave the city in the hands of her husband while she travels with the iron fleet back to Westeros, using captured Yunkaii vessels to ferry her Unsullied and Dothraki host along the voyage. By the time Dragonstone is in sight, Victarion Greyjoy has died of injuries sustained at the Battle of Meereen.

• Daenerys lands at Dragonstone, the three great dragons putting the remaining Redwyne fleet to the torch. Aegon, who now sieges King's Landing, has an envoy contact the Mother of Dragons and requests a parlay with her. The negotiations are tumultuous, but the advisory counsels of both prideful monarchs help soothe things and the two agree to wed and combine their armies in honor of their shared blood.

• After defeating the Boltons and Freys at the onset of winter and returning the North to the control of the Starks, Stannis Baratheon turns the remainder of his forces to the Wall to combat the oncoming threat of the White Walkers. His efforts ultimately prove nigh, and he falls in battle against the Others. Stannis's forces who do not flee south defect to the Night's Watch.

301 AC

• The threat of dragonfire turns the populace upon the queen, and Cersei and her children are surrendered after rioting threatens to engulf the capital. The jailhouse holding Queen Cersei is broken into, and the remaining Lannisters are killed by a mob. The following night, Aegon and Daenerys are coronated and the war is officially decreed to be at an end.

• Tyrion Lannister, Harrold Hardyng, and Edric Storm are given respective lordship over the Westerlands, Vale, and Stormlands, with the latter two lords being legitimized as Arryn and Baratheon shortly before their coronation. Shortly thereafter, Edmure Tully is rescued and made Lord of Riverrun.

• Euron Greyjoy and the Ironborn are defeated by Daenerys' three dragons, but not before Euron is able to bind Drogon with the Dragon horn, burning most of the Lannister fleet. While Rhaegal and Viserion fought with Drogon amidst the clouds, Euron Greyjoy's ship was rammed by Lannister forces, killing Euron and Drogon simultaneously. Drogon's body sank into the sea, though his lighter bones would wash ashore on the Westerlands for nearly a year.

Still a WIP, but putting this up to post progress as the OOC is completed/get some house players. If anybody has any questions/comments/concerns/claims, now is a good time. We are always available to answer questions in the Discord, if you're into that sort of thing.
