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.
Alysanne is one of the three Targaryen children who purport they have claim to the throne. The now-dead King decreed Alysanne be Queen, and the unorthodox mother of three plans to become one.

Lucerys had tormented and emotionally abused Alysanne for the past twenty years. But in moments like these, she only wondered if it was all a sham. If he really did love her. Like some part of him had to keep up the appearance of hating her so he wouldn't seem weak. The realm had fallen for her. Cassius had fallen for her. Guards had fallen for her. But her husband? He was not allowed to fall for her.
"That's true." For what it was worth, their children truly were the last purebloods. Every other child in other lines would be tainted with outside blood. It gave Alysanne a sense of elitism. "We are better than the rest of our family. There is just no other way to put it." Alysanne was never an arrogant woman, but she knew this to be true. Her brothers married dirtied blood. Any cousins either married outside the family or remained unbetrothed.
Her hands rested on his as she held her hips. She sighed and glanced around the room vacantly. "But I tire of talking about these things. My father has just died and now everyone looks to me to hold this family up." She rolled off of him and lied beside him, staring up at the ceiling. After a moment, she turned onto her side to look at him, both hands resting under the side of her face. "Will you hold me? Just for a moment." Lucerys was the only one who could see her weakness. Anyone else would use it against her.

It was not easy remaining stalwart, especially when she agreed with him, when she acted both truthfully and somewhat down to earth. And when she looked at him like that, it was hard not to melt at least a little. Lucerys had once tried desperately to love this woman in a way that a husband should. Yet, his disdain at the situation she’d put him in – even if it had not really been her doing – along with him not truly receiving the same in return had made that unsustainable. There still was part of him that still wanted to. Heck, in a way they were much like a separated couple, only that they could not afford to truly separate. There always was a draw to get back together when you saw her lying there so vulnerable and needy. But there was also the knowledge that before too long, they would find this thing or that thing to hate about one another.
That being said, it was still hard to resist her. Lucerys had long since decided that fully being cold towards his wife would hurt him more than it would her. That was why he allowed desire to build up. And that was why he gently wrapped his arms around her for now. Too much talking would destroy the moment and could get them arguing again. So he stuck to the simplest of wordings. “Until you are ready to face your realm.”
