The feuding of the the various kings never seem to stop. Petty battles over irrelevant specks of land, ambitious lords and their hosts in constant rebellion, the entire continent becoming one large battleground, this is just part of daily life. Life is naught but blood and gold, and honeyed words reach miles where an oiled blade wouldn't. In all of this, the long arms of superstition envelop the minds of the people, smallfolk and lord alike. The suggestion of magic carries a far greater distance than it did, as something to be feared and loved in equal measure. Truly, Westeros stands strong!

In the east, licking its wounds from the Doom, Valyria stands watching. Watches as Storm and Sand, Lion and Kraken, Wolf and Fish tear themselves apart. And Valyria smiles, as it unfurls its wing and takes flight from Dragonstone. Smiles as it dreams of flames and conquest, of Andal flesh and First Men marrow. Of Ironborn heads and Rhoynish feet. Soon, all Seven Kingdoms shall bow before the Dragon. They will know Fire and Blood, and drink deep in the well of defeat as they burn.

Welcome all players! This is the story of a time not too long before Aegon's Conquest, when the land was far less unified. We go back to when Kingdoms had actual kings, and the Targaryen threat seemed insignificant and distant. The world was a much different place, far larger and more mysterious.

It's highly recommended that you play as an existing house. If that's not your cup of tea, I won't fault you for it, but give a good reason in-universe as to why at least. Also, don't make them a king. However, characters are not bound to canon, so you can (and should) play as a non-canon member of an existing house.

So enter, my friends. Welcome to Westeros!
