The year is 286 AC. King Jaehaerys II has just passed, leaving the throne without a rightful ruler. While his three children fight for the crown, Winter creeps closer, and unimaginable darkness looms.
Not all alliances will be so typical this time. In fact, many people have a crucial effect on the way this story is told. As for the ending, we only hope there are enough people left alive to tell it after its passed.
Events
Join us for our first event, the wake of recently deceased King Jaehaerys II.
Updates
AUG. 19: So we are now officially open to the public. We have a mini-event flashback thread going on, and our main event just began. Feel free to make a second canon if you can keep both of them active enough.
Don't hesitate in pestering staff with questions; it's what we're here for! Let's raise a glass and make a cheer toward a successful launch of Winds of Winter.
I'm just going to make this simple cause im a snowflake and don't use plot templates. I use post templates.
Arri is the Royal Torturer, loyal to whomever is king, who's only point in life is to hang on to his miserable, painful, crippled life. Of course this made him a pessimist, often gloomy and annoying, quiet when there's nobody of interest around, incredibly loud with his obsessive theories otherwise. The man holds all the secrets that spill and find their way into the dungeons of King's Landing so as it goes, information like that breeds "friends" and "partners" from time to time.
He is witty, ambitious and ruthless in his job, capable of doing anything in his power in order to make his living hell easier to... live with.
But leave this thick layer of stone around his soul to the side and there's still a softness to him. A flicker ready to be blown away called hope. Hope that his life will get better, that his wounds will heal, that even with his body maimed he can know again the touch of a woman. But after all , all of these are just coins thrown vainly into a wishing well and they crept so deep inside his mind that he doesn't even realize that hope is the only thing keeping him from giving up on life. And this is Aden Tyrell , the current leader of the Tyrell family and a delusional lad with a god complex and confidence for the ages. Let's just say he has hella charisma and skills but the more you get to know him the weirder he gets cause hey, there are no boundaries when you are a God.
You wanna get it on with the Tyrells, you talk to him. He's an open-minded guy really so any plots you have in mind, sick as they may be or not throw them at his face. You are all his subjects and he'll be happy to take you in. There's more information on the profile and bio. Go check it out there.
SO. arri must be an awfully interesting man, right? tons of stories to tell, which is good, because i have packing a lot of innocence i need corrupted. i'd like for this to be a continuous thing too, spanning a few threads perhaps where sae just kind of gets involved in his nitty gritty, first asking him what the hell he's doing, then asking why, then watching, and then... idk. a morbid curiosity that makes her venture to him every once in a while.
she'll of course see his humane side and i'd like for them to be on good terms? and after a while someone she trusts a lot. maybe a more honest dad figure or smth seeing as hers is woefully absent from her life.
as for how they could meet, well, it could be just curiosity. walking around the red keep, finding a door, hearing some weird noises. could be she sees someone being dragged to the dungeons from inside / outside of the red keep, gets curious, etc. shouldn't be too difficult.
hallo, i'm here for plottage, as suggested! these two limping dorks should definitely know each other. i imagine it's very difficult for dione to go out and have to endure the weird looks and whatnot and maybe these two could be friends? i think she might even grow fond of him, since he proved to be so strong after all he's been through. ;_; cutesy/feelsy threads would ensue, i daresay. she's pretty much right at the beginning of that bitterness stage, i think, and maybe he can talk her out of it, somehow? idek, i would just like to see these two in a heartbreaking thread.
I like it. As a matter of fact i love it. Arri already despises himself for what he is and what he became, but to see a young woman close to his situation would break him, especially if she suffers. Old, cruel and bitter as he is, he'll feel responsable to help her but here's the tricky part because he can be both a great help for Dione and a bad influence. After all he deals with death and pain everyday and that stuff could trascend into Dione along with his pessimistic view of the world. (Nothing matters. We're just flesh and blood. We get born just to struggle into this fucked up tresher etc.). Quite the same way i think Dione is going to be a good influence on him, lighten him up and at the same time, be it that something happens to her, he will break for good, and that's bad. You dont want a man that inflicts pain on others for a living to break.
Also i wanted to discuss the possibility of a romance between the two but that will come from itself if it ever comes.
