A time of swords, a time of crowns...

No Caption Provided

Crow-feed litters the sacred grounds of Aulas, a once peaceful land. Knights of honor dragged from their horse by street urchins, princesses thrown into the streets to the pleasure of lusty men, and grand castles filled with legend and lore torn down brick by brick, so that the poor may jeer at the lords that once inhabited them. Blood is spilled like water, as rebellions run throughout the grand country like never before. Pirates and warmongers invade from across the Carrion Waters, leaving the empires weak to such onslaught from within.

But glimmers of hope shine under the dirt and grime of mortal pettiness.

Though they are separate now, great Houses are ready to rise again, to take the throne of Aulas. To bring honor amongst themselves.

And to bring peace to this great land!

If you listen to this while reading, you'll be convinced to join.

If you're not convinced, you did not listen to it enough.

I haven't seen Game of Thrones!

No need to worry, it's a VERY simple system to understand, as it is primarily the system used in early Feudal Europe.

Don't know what that is? Fear not! It is EXTREMELY basic, and I will give a brief rundown.

This probably won't cover everything, but the rest is easy to pick up.

  • Houses- Throughout the kingdom of Aulas, there are families of noblemen known as Houses. These Houses have their own symbol, and reside over a land, usually owning that property, like a castle/village and the farms surrounding it. That is 'their' land, but they pay lots of taxes/are loyal to the main King. Unless they choose to be rebels, but that's getting into complexity. This might not make sense, so let me come up with an example. The Smith family has lived in Castletown for generations, and has received word from the King that they are lords now, due to their dedication. They become lords! Hooray! They form a flag/sigil, a banner to carry in battle, and put a symbol on it, along with a few words for their house. A motto.
  • Feudal Hierarchy- When a lord/king dies, the title of lord/king goes to the eldest son. If the lord has no son, the title goes to the eldest brother. No brother? Oldest male family member. And then- only then- would it be customary for it to go to the eldest daughter/female family member. Because medieval sexism. These lords have absolute control over everyone in their lands, and guests must give the utmost respect, as well as the same respect to the entire royal family.
  • Breaking IC Rules- If your character disobeyed a higher-ranked character, then that character could order your character to be executed, or some form of punishment. And, unless the King intervenes... that's the law.
  • Magic 'High Fantasy'- Rare. Verrrrry rare. Mythical creatures are rare as well, and 'races' are nonexistent, extinct at best (rumors at least). But the number of people who are involved in magics usually involve some religion or another.

I have seen Game of Thrones!

Awesome! The system works exactly like that, in the aspects of houses and sparse mythical creatures. And, to be brutally honest, some names are going to be stolen from the universe of Game of Thrones to create this universe. I do not own GRRM's series, A Song of Ice and Fire, but his ideas are amazing, and I as a writer cannot come up with anything better than King's Landing.

So, it's GoT rules, as far as etiqutte, politics, etc.

If you're like me, you'll jump with joy because of this! YAAAAAAAAAY, GOT!

The World of Mortal Men

No Caption Provided

So, fans of Game of Thrones know what Westeros looks like/is. A fairly simple design for those that are not fans. The further North one gets, the colder it will be, until the upper Northern wastes of tundra. Farther to the south, it tends to be hotter, and the desert is to the far South. However, it tends to mostly be foresty regions, with grasslands and rivers and wide open plains for roaming.

Character Guidelines

Whatever you want to be.

With parameters, of course!

  • Please be human. Yeah, I know, the idea of an Orcish barbarian or an Elven maiden sounds awesome, but these races are uncommon, and I would personally prefer humans. How rare are elves and dwarves? People think they're extinct. Like, literally a dozen in existence, of each race. So yeah, please, please, do not be these things. I'm ok with some, but PM me first.
  • Do not be OP! This seems like an easy one of course, but just to be clear. If you run a house, it is not going to have a grand military of a hundred thousand soldiers, as that's unrealistic for the time period, especially if you want your people to eat (armies cost money). Take into account your environment! If you wanna be living in the Northern tundra, food will be an issue for you, and so on and so forth.

House Creation Guide

To create a house, you need to, firstly, ask.

And it would be preferred if you had a symbol/sigil for your House. You should also ask about the location of your house, using the above map, and most importantly- YOU CANNOT HAVE A HOUSE IF YOU DO NOT MAKE A THREAD FOR IT.

Your people must live somewhere. Them's facts.

Rules!

  • These are not in spoiler blocks, because if they were, there's a chance you didn't read them.
  • Shame on you.
  • All CVnU rules shall apply in this universe. God modding, no-selling, the works.
  • For the sake of ease, the King shall be an NPC. If the need arises for him to be used, I shall play him, but other than that, he is preoccupied with invaders from across the waters.
  • Listen, guys, I don't really spark a lot of events/alternate universes, so I'm scared for this. But there is going to be a LOT of freedom when it comes to building lore. A LOOOOOTTTTTTTTT. I would really rather this be a 'CV community' thing than a 'Joey' thing.
  • The link for the sigil creation for the House creation is here.
  • In case you couldn't tell by the quality of this thread, I am desperaaaaaaaaaaaate! But for the next couple of days, I'll be creating a couple of important location threads. Leading by example.

@joey_destroyer_of_worlds:Sorry that's what I kinda meant. It's a whole other GoT universe, therefore anything that happened in UT is not relevant. So like... if I wanted to be beyond the Wall I would have to create another Beyond the Wall thread, right?

To be brutally honest with you, I'm going to revise and bump my old Undying Throne thread.

As one UT player to another, I honestly just wanted to bring the whole thing back, but the idea of it being a 'Game of Thrones' RP kinda spooks users away if they haven't seen it, so I thought this would be a friendlier way to go about it.

Butttttttt I could be wrong, hahahahahahadesperationhahaha!

I'm having doubts now. Maybe I can do a half-Orc.

Or maybe I can not do a half-Orc.
