“Jenny!!!” Duncan's voice didn't sound like his own; he'd worn his lungs hoarse from calling her name and there was more ash in him than air now. His cough when it came was spluttering and brought him down to his knees, the heat from the flames around burned at every inch of him, it took all he had for the Prince of Dragonflies just to get to his feet. “Jenny!!!”

With each step further in Duncan cursed his father, Egg had taken the crown from him, taken Jenny and now he was about to take his life. King Aegon V The Unlikely had been a good ruler, but never a good father. Now with his last maddening attempt at sorcery he'd burned all his family to ash and the seven kingdoms would soon follow them.
“Jenny!!!”

Duncan didn't care about the Seven-Kingdoms though, he didn't care about lords or wars or claims, he only wanted his Jenny of Oldstones back.

“...Duncan” The prince spun round, afraid for a moment he'd imagined it in the inferno, until, just faintly, he heard her again. The cough, the ash, the fire, all were forgotten in an instant as he charged through the wreckage to her. Through a ruined archway, trapped under a fallen beam, she lay there like a broken statue, beautiful even now.

“Duncan, you came back...”

“I couldn't ever leave you.” He managed a smile, three knights had not been able to stop him running back into the burning palace, the thought of losing her scared him more than any wild-fire. Gingerly he tried to shift the some of debris but the wince on her face told him she was going nowhere. “We should of ran away Jenny.” Tears were running down his cheeks as he whispered to her. “Just ridden off, you and me, left the courts and the politics and my father all behind us.” Jenny of Oldstones smiled sadly at him as the flames began to engulf the two of them, then she looked at something past him and he followed her gaze.

The last thing Prince Duncan Targaryen saw in his life before the fire took him was strewn upon the ruined floors of Summerhall the empty shell of a dragon egg.

Welcome! I'm not really much for intros but I've been wanting to scratch the Ice And Fire roleplay itch for a while now so here we go if enough people are interested.

The Targaryens are gone. Burned in the what came to be known as the Tragedy of Summerhall, King Aegon the V, known to some as Egg burned along with Ser Duncan the tall and most of his retainers but unlike the book timeline his son Jaehaerys and grandson Aerys perished in the tragedy as well and Westeros is left without a clear successor...Meanwhile Maelys the Monstrous - last of the Blackfyre pretenders is leading the band of Nine-Penny-Kings across the Stepstones to conquer his birthright from a divided Westeros.

The roleplay is set before the events in the book and show, it helps to have a bit of an understanding of the lore but you'll find a glance over the wiki when needed can easily suffice. Like many of these RP's it will be a sand-box nature with people free to play any character or house small or large from the Ice and Fire universe and a succession crisis as the theme.

I'm primarily looking for a Co-Gm as well as people interested in playing different claimants (or the people puppetting them) which consist of, but are by no means limited to:

- Ormund Baratheon (husband to Rhaelle Targaryen the king's daughter)
- Maegor Targaryen (Son of exiled Aerion Brightflame, the king's older brother)
- Husband/retainer of Vhaelle Targaryen (the king's simple minded niece)
- Maelys Blackfyre

At the moment I'm planning to play the former Hand who'll be moving to seize the throne himself. For the moment this is just an interest check, if we get 5-6 people we should be good to go and I'll whip up an OOC and a Discord channel for us.

Hmm, tentatively interested, love me some GoT. I'm a bit iffy on an open sandbox, though - those tend to die rather fast.

I'm interested, too. It'd be my first Advanced roleplay though. -sneaks away in a corner-

Edit: I'd also not rather play a canon character. Maybe a Lady of a House or a Lord?

Considering the time period most characters would probably not be rigidly based canon ones. There's not a whole lot defined outside of some key lords.

I might be looking at Luthor Tyrell.

I might be looking at Luthor Tyrell or Tion Lannister (under the idea that he didn't die in 236).


That's what I figured.

Just got a wave of nostalgia

Please, let your imagination run wild! This is meant to be quite a freeform roleplay, those are just some suggested characters to get the ball rolling!

I think we've got a healthy dose of interest so you should hopefully see a OOC on the morrow
