Fandom Game of Thrones: 'The Iron King'

[Hypnos]

GAME OF THRONES: THE IRON KING
​

“Robert was the true steel. Stannis is pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. He'll break before he bends.”
- Donal Noye, to Jon Snow

It is four hundred and five years after the conquest of King Aegon I Targaryen, and over a century since the fall of House Targaryen at the hands of the Baratheon dynasty. Westeros has lapsed into a period of peace and prosperity, and war seems like a very distant prospect, though not all is as amicable as it seems. Sitting the Iron Throne is King Orys Baratheon, second of his name, a man mocked by his adversaries as 'The King of Three Courses' for his love of merrymaking and little else. Whilst Orys feasts and drinks away the wealth of the realm, a conspiracy is afoot. The King's younger brother, the Prince of Dragonstone has gathered the support of many of the major houses of the realm, including that of House Lannister of Casterly Rock and House Florent of Highgarden. Many have speculated that he intends to name himself King, though his brother is none the wiser. Meanwhile another threat looms in the east: House Targaryen has not set foot in Westeros since the defeat of King Aegon VI but times are changing. Whilst Daenerys Targaryen never moved to reclaim her family's titles, instead occupying herself with destroying the slave trade in Slaver's Bay, her descendants are not lack for ambition. Even after a century of Baratheon rule, there are still many who would welcome the return of the Dragon.

Esentially, a Game of Thrones/ASOIAF RP set over a hundred years after the books in a world in which Stannis Baratheon won the Iron Throne however House Targaryen is still at large. The RP follows books canon, but since the RP occurs over a century after, show watchers should be perfectly fine.

 

[Field Marshall]

[Hypnos]

You can. The last thing that's mentioned about the GC in this lore if them being defeated by Stannis whilst supporting King Aegon, so you can come up with some lore as to how they pieced themselves back together.

No preference, just as long as it makes sense.

HYPNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDD!

You guys can work out between you the current relationship between the three branches of House Targaryen and there power dynamic. I think it could be an interesting thing to explore.

Rusty of Shackleford asked first so he's going to get the final say on the Stark family, but I'm sure you can work out a way to incorperate all your ideas.

Linage thing?

Linage thing?

Well Petyr is the only remainder of his house. Or will i be playing Petyr?

 

[Hypnos]

This is set a hundred years after the books/show Petyr will be dead, and his decendants will be ruling Harrenhal.

That’s what I thought. But Petyr died. He died having no heirs, so in this world will he have died with fathering a child? It’s arguable that Robyn Arryn is his bastard, but doesn’t matter right now.

This goes off of book canon where he was never killed, which is also how Stannis is still around. In this world Petyr probably lived to a nice old age a fathered a few children.

Hey guys! You guys can be House Stark! I was thinking my character was quite young to be the Lord, but we'll work everything out. Want me to make a PM to discuss this?

 

[ReverseTex]

When will CS be up? Hypnos

 

[Clowns Or Midgets]

Interested! I love ASOIAF and GOT, would be interested in a Stark but I feel like there probably isn't enough room - interested in the Baratheon Princess or a member of Florent.

You can be a Stark! I can invite you to the chat I made for the Stark's!

If that's good with the GM then sure! Thank you!

Since you’re the lord do you want to plan something with mine?

Sure! What so you have in mind?
