A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE

T H E L I V E S O F F O U R K I N G S




T H E R O L E P L A Y

This roleplay is based off of the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire and the television show Game of Thrones. The game is story-driven where the choices of characters will affect noble houses, cities, and an entire nation. In it you can take control of an entire noble house or a standalone character be they a mercenary, a priest, a singer, a scholar, or an assassin. Whatever the role, you will become another player in this world where political intrigue, cloak-and-dagger espionage and bloodshed are all simply tools to success in the game of thrones.


S E T T I N G

"The Gods won't mind. They spill more blood than the rest of us combined.
Jaime Lannister, to the High Sparrow.

After a decade under King Baelor the Blessed, the popular but mentally unstable monarch was forced to give up his crown by a narrow vote in the Great Council of 171. Baelor's sisters were passed over by the council and his uncle Viserys ascended to the Iron Throne. Viserys ruled ably, and the realm is at peace, but tensions are high due to the king's facilitating of an alliance with the Principality of Dorne whom many consider a mortal enemy of the rest of Westeros. Furthermore, House Targaryen itself is deeply divided as several members of the King's family pursue their own vendettas and ambitions, with many seeking to undermine Viserys' rule. This familial strife has caused great turmoil as the noble houses are drawn into the conflict, choosing which dragon they follow, and splitting the country into factions. Once more, the great game threatens to erupt into full-blown war.

  • GMs for the roleplay are myself and MrDidact.
  • Typical Guild rules apply.
  • Use common sense. We want to use logic and reason to create a good, enjoyable story.
  • Listen to the GMs.
  • Magic will be largely uninvolved in this roleplay, and there will certainly be no practitioners of it. It is mysterious, unknown, and rarely seen.
  • Being advanced, try to provide adequate character development and depth in your storytelling. We want to immerse ourselves in Westeros.

Definitely interested. It'd be nice to RP in a time where Bittersteel and Bloodraven are still alive.

@agentmanatee So, the main difference to canon history is that King Viserys is still alive....hmmm

Ok, sign me up as interested.

PS: I wish to reserve Baelor Breakspear for my first character.

Thank you all for your interest! The game will remain open to new players to apply, but Manatee and I have agreed that we have enough interest to move forward. We'll start working on an OOC, and it will be up by tomorrow at the latest. Looking forward to playing with you guys.

Just as an aside, the timeline shifting and aging up of certain Targaryen characters has been dropped due to some concerns voiced with Manatee and myself. As such all characters have been restored to their canon age, save those characters whose canon deaths have not occurred.

@agentmanatee @MrDidact
While I am definitely interested and such, I have never participated in an Advanced roleplay environment before. So, just like I do all the other stories that are involved within this thread, I will happily be reading along. :) So, I am your guys number one fan, literally! :P
