Casual most likely, I welcome newbies. ;)




The Players/the Houses of Marvelos














S.H.I.E.L.D Brothers/Sisters


S.H.I.E.L.D fulfills a role similar to the Nightswatch of Westeros, the sole difference being that both men and women are free to join S.H.I.E.L.D and although the taking of wives/husband is forbidden, people still manage to get pregnant.

Lord Cammander of SHIELD: Nicholas J. Fury
Vice-Commander: Maria Hill

First Ranger:
First Builder:
First Stewart:

The S.H.I.E.L.D is a military order entrusted with holding and keeping the Wall, an immense ice structure which separates the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms from the lands beyond. The order is currently led by Lord Commander Nick Fury from the stronghold of Castle Black.

The SHIELD consists of three groups: the Rangers, who fight, defend the Wall and patrol the Haunted Forest; the Builders, who maintain the Wall and the castles; and the Stewards, who support and feed the members of the Watch. The men and women of SHIELD are known for only wearing black. For once you Join SHIELD, you can never go back.

Bastards & Names


Someone asked me what all the Bastard Names were in-game wise. So here goes.

Summerset Isles: Summers
Valria: Sands
The Reach: Flowers
Solitude: Storm
Asgard: Hill
Riverlands: Rivers
Vale: Stone
Winterhold: Frost

Around the level of the cinematic universe, if not closer to a song of fire and ice, if that makes any sense. I want to leave some of the more ridiculous comic book feats alone.

@NubianLegend To sorta add on to @ayzrules question, would our characters and, by extension, every character be stated to have superpowers or is it all simply chalked down as magic?

Magic exists, as do superpowers to a certain extent. Superpowers are mostly a byproduct of one's mastery of magick concepts. Of course you can train your body through sheer will into unlocking supernatural abilities , or you can be born with said abilities.

The only difference is the scope of these powers are nerfed for good reason. Superpowers would fall under martial or mystic training, magic-based enhancements or inherent aptitudes. Due to way the game is structured, magic would obviously be a pursuit for the privileged few. I just don't see poor people having much access to magic arts. To learn magic you would have to be taught by a priest or wizard.

@NubianLegend okay thank you hmm

so would the lords and ladies of the houses retain the canon abilities that they have, just modified (like obviously tony doesn't get an iron man suit, etc)? sorry, I'm just a little unclear on it all. I LOVE the idea though!

Tony Stark could in theory have something like an iron man suit, it would just have to be modified to fit the setting, a steam powered suit of armor could work. Technology exists, but obviously nothing like the canon.

The lords and ladies retain most of their abilities, just put it in a medieval fantasy context and it'll work. Think Dungeons and Dragons.

Welp count me in for this.

I'll probably make an original for House Doom (cause Victor Von Doom is awesome). I'll make either a spy/assassin or a magical scientist type. I think he will be a bastard from one of the other lands who eventually swore his allegiance to Von Doom.
