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.

We have a house and single character template nice and laid out. Feel free to use your own formatting if you wish, just make sure your sheet has everything required.

As this is advance I expect at least one to two paragraphs in every part that calls for extensive writing(obviously age, name and liege lord are rather short entries)

And
@HushedWhispers enjoy your reading!

@Nightwing95 None at all. Baelor is young but he's married to Jena Dondarrion at this point and it's likely Valarr is an infant.

@Nightwing95 I consulted with Manatee and we have to lean on no in order to maintain consistency. But keep in mind that book Jon Snow and Robb Stark got quite a bit done even at 14.

In other news, I think my House POV will be Martell to shake things up.

I apologize profusely, but I will have to be canceling this RP. A lack of interest at the posting of the OOC, and the fact we've yet to have anyone show interest in anything more than single characters. That mixed with a loss of motivation for me has sealed the RPS fate.

For those who made character sheets I apologize

@agentmanateeTotally fine! These things happen. Besides, I had fun making Myraq. I'm sure I'll find another RP to use him in.

I'm going to have to drop as well! I'm so sorry. The concept interested me, but I'm very uneducated on the GoT realm, leaving me with a lot of reading up/watching to do(which I still plan on doing).
