Alright, fellow Guilders, some musing I've been doing lately.

Most pre-industrial RPs have, in their background, some sort of empire, usually founded by a guy called "X the Conqueror". Sometimes, the RP even takes place during the conquest, with the players fighting against imperial aggression. 

What I had in mind was to instead have an RP set during the conquest, where players are exiled nobility, mercenaries, philosophers, and other assorted courtiers fighting FOR a conqueror. We'd be the best and the brightest of the world, united to unite the patchwork of nations under a single flag. People who make a big contributions to the war effort could be given the rule of the territory they had conquered. 

Basically, Aegon's Conquest, but we're the ones with the dragons. Thoughts? If you guys are interested, feel free to pitch in whether you prefer a fantasy setting or a gritty non-fantasy.
