Big post since a few things need to be put down for the record.

[u][h3]RP Starting Event: A House Divided[/h3][/u]
So this is based on whats been going on in the Discord and what the opening events of the RP will be. So far its been decided that Franklin is going to die and his two sons will start a civil war over the throne and players will pick who between: George and Alexander.

George is the older and thus claims the crown by right of inheritance and age. He is loud, brash, brutish, narcissistic, arrogant and quiet likely some degree of insane but he's also a fearsome fighter. He is focused on the military and defense of the realm. He does not believe that any peace treaty signed by outsiders will last so it is better to bring war to them first before they bring war to the kingdom. He also wishes to expand the realm by conquest believing in a "manifest destiny" prophecy he was told and say how he will establish a link to far off California.

Alexander is the younger and claims the throne as he believes George is unfit to be king due to his madness and abrasiveness (which is entirely plausible). He would prefer the peace that his father created and would rather focus on trying to develop the realm internally; he's likely the one who would start a renaissance of learning and culture by the building of Congresses and schools. He believes that trying to establish permeant ties with California would be an expensive fool's errand and instead looks to the south, hoping to "obtain" a Caribbean island or two for the crown. However, his birth is highly disputed and some believe that he is in fact a bastard with no actual claim to the throne and thus supporting him would be going against House Ironwit.

[u][h3]Map[/h3][/u]

There's two version of a map that I'm currently debating about using and give a better idea of the territory of each crown.

[u][h3]Ties to House Ironwit[/h3][/u]
This was mentioned in my previous post but because its at the end of the page, I want to repost it here.

[quote]So as of right now, none of the house are really connected to one another. In an effort to remedy that (and to make writing the opening events of the RP more interesting and easier), I'd like to point out that right now President-King Franklin Ironwit is married to an unnamed woman of an unnamed house and has had two kids. He also has two sisters who have been married off that could form alliances and have become mothers.[/quote]
