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.
As the Prince of Dragons and once in direct line to inherit the Iron Throne, Aerys's Targaryen's sudden disappearance from Westeros was a loss that hurt his family in more ways than one. After five years in Essos, the Prince has returned to his homeland with hopes to prevent another civil war.

I’ve been plotting and establishing relationships with existing characters for awhile now, but I'm looking to provide new characters with opportunities and plot unrelated to their familial ones since many of the greater house slots are taken. Characters made in response to this ad will be heavily involved with Aerys Targaryen's plots in some form or another, and it this is a chance for people interested in playing as vassals, lesser house members, or anything else of the sort to have something to be a part of from the start.
I’m not going to describe detailed descriptions of what I'm looking for as I'd like to work with whoever is interested to make something they're really into rather than shoehorning them into a role I write up. My only requirement is that you try and drive some side stories of your own so you're not 100% dependent on me for threads and try to stay active. If you get bored of the character we can write you out with a (hopefully) satisfying ending to the character.
I originally had specific roles in mind, but decided to break these down into something similar to a party dynamic out of a RPG to keep it open.
Priest(ess): this one is obvious. Either a male or female who is fully devoted to their religion and its purpose but has found some reason which we’ll work out to follow and help Aerys. Followers of R’hllor and the Lord of Light is the most obvious one and what I originally had in mind, but I’m open to other ideas.
I have two of these now. If you really want to play a religious character that is involved with Aerys I will still consider it though.
Sworn Swords/Fighters: A knight, whether from a great or lesser house isn’t too important but the latter is preferred. They have become a sworn sword to Aerys after swearing an oath of fealty to him. Anyone interested in playing a similar role without specifically playing a knight is alright as well.
Looking for sworn swords more than anything right now.
Youngin: An apprentice or squire is what I had in mind. They would be for whoever makes a knight and not Aerys.
Counsel: A seasoned commander, maester, or a well read and well traveled person who joins the group at some point. Someone who can fill the role of your typical wise advisor. We can explore some dynamics that don’t make it seem so cliche lol.
Arcanist/Alchemist: That guy who puts all his points into intelligence. A student of all things magic and/or science. Blacksmiths, engineers, or something else would similar.
Outlaw: This has a huge amount of variety. Anyone from a mercenary, thief, or even a faceless man would work here. I don’t have anything in particular in mind, but if something like this seems fun message me and we’ll figure it out.
Other: If nothing listed caught your interest but you still want to be involved with Aerys, shoot me a message anyways
Now these are all pretty simple ideas, but I either have more in mind or will help develop them as far as flavoring goes to make them more interesting. I wanted to keep it vague because I am open to any interpretation of the above concepts. If multiple roles interest you we can come up with a character that has some overlap. No worries there
My character spent 19 years in Westeros and 5 years in Essos, so it doesn’t matter where you want to be from because we’ll be able plot together regardless.
Message me here with a role(s) you are interested in and your discord or just DM me directly at Axcel#8451
