THE ANNALS OF HOUSE CADE

A Song of Ice and Fire RP



"Leoric Cade, lord of Castle Tarrow, shivered in the cold autumn chill of the night alongside his men. Though he wore leather, and chain atop of that, the cold seemed to seep into his bones. Perhaps it was the anticipation, not the weather, that chilled him so. The anticipation of battle. The anticipation of slaughter.

The night was pitch black: they dare not light torches for fear of being spotted, and the moon was considerate enough to hide behind thick clouds, so they could see almost nothing from the edge of the forest. He could hear breathing, however; the breathing of thousands of men in tense anticipation. He could only pray to the Seven above that the westernmen would not hear it as well, deafening as it seemed to his own ears. Atop the hill, he could see the glow of the enemy camp, as the ruckus of their own host feasting carelessly. Minutes seemed to stretch to hours.

Then, he finally heard the sound he'd been straining his ears to catch: The screams of men, dogs, and horses. All at once, the camp seemed to become frenzied, like a disturbed hive. This was it, it had to be! It was the hour of the wolf. The Young Wolf.

From duty runs rivers of gold, he reminded himself, echoing the words of his house to reassure himself. He could hear the shouts of his fellow lords ordering their men forward. "It is time," he shouted to those surrounding him. "Time to butcher these Lannister pigs. Onward, for Castle Tarrow, for Riverrun, and for Winterfell!" As the others took up the shout, he hurried forward into the darkness, among a line of men of shadows. They raced as fast as they dared in the darkness, towards the camp and battle... to claim Oxcross for the King in the North.

Premise

Welcome to yet another A Song of Ice and Fire (Or Game of Thrones for you show types) RP. This one will be set during the later end of the War of Five Kings, well after the Battle of the Blackwater. Specifically, it will be set a few days after the capture of the Crag, the seat of House Westerling, by northern forces. Unlike many of these kinds of RPs, you (yes, you) will not be creating your own major houses. Instead, we will create characters belonging to, or pledged to, House Cade, a Riverlander house sworn to the Freys of the Twins.

From how I see it, there are four categories of characters you can create:
1. A member of House Cade (ex: Brother to Lord Leoric, wife, son, cousin, and so on)
2. A petty lordling pledged to the Cades (You'd make your own house, but they'd be little more than landed knights, no big castles or anything)
3. A knight in the service of the Cades (Household knight or hedge knight, whichever you please)
4. A commoner (ex: a farmer, a guardsman, a cook, a messenger, and so on...)

Essentially, the House will start as a blank slate, which we'll fill up with our own characters as we make them. They'd all be involved in the goings on in Castle Tarrow. The big driving force of the story in the RP will be the War, of course. Being sworn to the Freys, we'll have to chose between loyalty to House Tully, or loyalty to the Twins.

Hi! I'm Kalleth, a youngish fan of ASOIAF, but relatively well-versed. I've read the books, seen the show, finished most of AWOIAF, and can make do in terms of lore. I'm by no means a superfan, but I do love Westeros and would find RPing in it to be quite fun. So without further ado, my character proposal;



There it is! I hope you like what you see!

Cheers,

I'm working on the opening of the IC. I think I'll wait for a few more people to join before putting it up, however.

Ok so lord Leoric has no daughters or wife. But it does say - [SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON PLAYER CHARACTERS].

So @Vahir how do you feel about a daughter? Or a new wife? It's up to you. I have other ideas but these are my top two.

Yup, feel free to play as any relative, daughter or wife included. The idea really is for us to collaboratively build up the House. I'll edit his sheet as needed.

Mea culpa. Time's a precious commodity; I usually try to get back to people in 24 hours.

All Done ! Check it out! @Vahir

Also if you're looking for more players, I'd try posting a new fresh Interest Check.

Nice sheet, I like the formatting. You can put that into the character tab. One detail I'm unsure about is the recent marriage. Leoric's been off fighting in the war for a few months now; the RP will kick off with him coming back to Castle Tarrow for the first time in a while. If you want them to have been recently married, how about that they haven't been wed yet? She could have arrived for the marriage not long ago, while Leoric was away, and she meets him for the first time at the start of the RP? That or they've been married for at least a year.

By the by, can I just say that you guys have done a bang up job in character creation? Yes, yes I can, because I'm the GM. Internet cookies for everyone.

All Done ! Check it out! @Vahir

Well, I'll take the suggestion halfway and refresh the IC, but I don't want to make a new one just for the fresh tag. That feels like a scummy thing to do.

Y'know I'm actually gonna edit my character's backstory a little, mainly getting rid of the NPC wife I was thinking of doing because I can't be bothered with the extra work that will entail tbh

@Kassarock

So my thought is that Leoric left Ser Raymun to be castellan at Castle Tarrow while he was gone. Thoughts on that?

Okay, I am currently working on my Character, but @Emma, you might need to edit your own since Lord Leoric will have a heir soon. Just saying....
