Hello, and thanks for looking! I am one of the GMs of Blood of the Dragon, and we have decided to see if anyone would like to join us. Our game is slow but steady, and has been running for about five months. The game is still in its opening in-game weeks, so you won't have missed much. As we've been talking as a group about moving the game into its next era, we decided it was time to see if anyone would like to fill one of our more glaring gaps in the roster, Lord or Lady Stark.

Before we continue, I invite you to look at our State of the Realm and Character Directory threads to get a feel for what we've been up to. Feel free to take a look around the big board, as well!

In short: The game takes place many decades after the end of the Long Night, based on a custom ending to the story devised in broad strokes by our group and turned into lore by me. Queen Dany had a long, successful reign, but her successors have not been so lucky. A critical "mistake" made by Dany herself has festered, leading to rumblings of a Northern rebellion. The Stark role(s) we are looking to fill will play a central part in this rebellion, coordinating with his or her daughter Lyra, her betrothed Prince Astaerys Targaryen, Lady Morrigan Rayder, and many others. The primary Stark does not have to be the Lord or Lady of Winterfell necessarily, you could also play the heir, Lyra's older brother or sister, or even both if you wished, or if multiple people were interested in filling out the house.

But that's not all we're looking for! Lady Darya Volmark is looking for Ironborn allies, Princess Jennalyn Targaryen would love a (female) paramour or intended, and there are many Houses that have not been claimed, including some of the big ones.

It is a big world, and you are welcome in it. Let us know if you have any questions, and if you have a character sheet, please submit it to myself, @Fiadh, and @Crane, my co-GMs. Thanks again for taking a look.

Stares at this with longing...but realizes I do not know enough GoT lore to even make a dent in a proper write-up for a character...Bookmarks it anyway, just in case I lose a group or gain more knowledge.

If you become available, we will be happy to help you get set up. There are even a few character possibilities that wouldn't require knowing nearly as much.

I will hold you to this as I have ideas ...but I always have ideas. I will know better in a week or two whether or not my four groups will maintain their current pace...(I prefer to dedicate one day per game in rotation based on characters--and too many groups makes me a very sad boi.)

I blame you and Karma for the fact that I even LOOKED to begin with.

I accept this blame readily, for I have often doled it out. Lol

Yeah yeah, so you say. It matters not, I've already started my deep dive into the pertinent threads and character archetypes, you know...just in case...

Guilty and not sorry  8-)

Dang. One of my favorite houses is open, but I'm still too early in the series to feel like I would have enough knowledge.  :'( (And I skimmed through the Character Directory and found 3 of my favorite male faceclaims of all time and one of my female favorites too!!!)

Bookmarking this to read through as y'all go.

Fiadh from the GM team popping in! Here to echo Karma's comment previously: 

If anyone is curious to join but may feel they don't know enough, you can always reach out to us. We're quite flexible and will help make your character concept work in this 'verse. It is, after all, an AU that we're writing for enjoyment.  ;D

Karma

Welcome welcome! Just as a heads up there are more face claims in the NPC thread - please double check that before selecting yours!

Alias

uuwuuu....

I'm incredibly interested. Familiar faces and everything! I'll start peeking around at characters, gamethreads, and whatnot.

Edit: Okay! I've skimmed over the characters to get an idea of the cast. I've read the lore, and the modified history of AsoIaF. I am interested in filling the Stark void that was mentioned. But I have a few other ideas. Lots of loves! I'll wait for a response before I commit to anything. :D

Alias

I'm on my hunt for the perfect faceclaim. Hopefully, it doesn't take too long. lol

CyrodilicBrandy
