Calibration-Master General
The Seven Kingdoms are in turmoil. The King Robert Baratheon is dead. His 'son' Joffrey Baratheon is on the throne, despite the fact that he is not Robert's son; instead he is the bastard son of Cersei Lannister, conceived with her twin brother Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. The War of the Five Kings is in full flow.
Joffrey, his mother, his true father Jaime, his uncle Tyrion and his grandfather Tywin Lannister rule King's Landing. The Tyrells have entered an alliance by marriage with them; Margaery Tyrell, the widow of Renly Baratheon, is now betrothed to Joffrey. Sansa Stark is married to Tyrion Lannister, against both their wills. Tywin Lannister barely has control of his grandson, and by extension, the Seven Kingdoms.
Stannis Baratheon, Robert's younger brother, has been defeated at Blackwater and broods on Dragonstone, the ancestral seat of the Targaryens, along with the Red Woman Melisandre and Ser Davos Seaworth.
Robb Stark, Catelyn Stark and Talisa Stark have been killed, along with Robb's unborn son Ned, in the event known as the Red Wedding. Edmure Tully is a captive at the Twins, and the Blackfish escaped, his destination unknown. The Northern separatists have been destroyed by this act.
Now the only one who seems able to depose Joffrey and the Lannisters is Daenerys Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, with her army of Unsullied and her dragons Viserion, Rhaegal and Drogon. But no-one knows where the last of the Targaryens is. All that is known of her in Westeros is that she roams the Red Wastes of Essos, freeing slaves wherever she goes and gaining loyalty along the way. But Joffrey refuses to acknowledge Daenerys as a threat.
Beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder and his Wildlings prepare for a full-scale attack on Westeros. The White Walkers have returned, and the armies of the dead cannot be stopped among this conflict. But again, many of the faction leaders in the war either have not been alerted to the threat or refuse to recognise the fact that King's Landing is not the enemy at this time.
The fate of Westeros looks grim. But one thing is for certain: By the time this conflict is over, Westeros will have changed.
Winter Is Coming.
Now, rules are as follows:
1. No playing god, no taking control of others' characters. That much should be obvious.
2. No indestructable characters; everyone has a weakness.
3. Once you choose a side in the War, it is difficult to change sides. You have to inform the rest of us in the OOC before doing so, and you must lead up to it. This is to mimic what it would actually be like; Ser Jorah Mormont couldn't very well abandon Dany in the middle of the night, now, could he?
4. If you're going to be inactive for a while, please inform the rest of us so we can be prepared as such.
5. Be polite! Swearing should only be used in the IC, and never against each other.
6. Sexual content will be included, but only to the extent of how it is in the show. No extreme, hardcore stuff.
7. No magic! This is meant to be based on Game of Thrones, and Game of Thrones doesn't have magic of the same sort that Skyrim has. Dragons - yes, with Dany. Fireball hands - definite no.
