[UK/US] Game of Thrones |RP/PVP|Events|Custom Map|New!

Today is a day for celebration! The Maesters of the Citadel have uncovered a long lost map of a long forgotten island, rumored to have a heart of Valerian steel! Houses great and small, mercenaries bought by lords and ladies, Knights in their shining armor, smugglers, even the small folk are abuzz with the news. Every day more adventurers and hopeful treasure-seekers set off in search of their destiny. What will you find on these far off shores? I am excited to announce the launch of a brand new RP themed server. Set sail for the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.

Where our story begins:

The sea is finally calm, and the night breeze is cooling after the relentless sun. Water stretches as far as the eye can see in every direction but for once it is not tearing at the sails, not tossing the ship to and fro, not trying to drown the souls that dare to cross upon its back. No, tonight it is not a wildcat toying with its prey, tonight it is a lazy, purring thing, content to just playfully rock the wooden ship along its path.

You remember that day like it was yesterday. The day that would plunge the Seven Kingdoms into war, the day that would tear families apart and see brother fighting brother. The day dawned like a warm summer day, not unlike the countless other summer days that had passed before. Only it was still. Stiller than the darkest hour of night. Looking back, one could swear even the gods were holding their breath. The storm descended with a ferocity that surprised even those who called it down upon Westeros.

Stars twinkle like a million candles, winking in the darkness of the night. The night had always seemed lonely and cold to you, but weeks confined to the deck of a ship with not another living soul save the others trapped with you has taught you the real meaning of lonely. You have learned to welcome the night, for the darkness clouds the emptiness of the open ocean and brings sweet dreams of a home that now only exists in the land of dreams.

The sky darkened early that day, for out of the Red Keep poured a conspiracy of ravens, black as the day itself. One cannot ignore the irony– a flock of ravens is called a conspiracy, and a flock of crows is called a murder, and indeed many would come to believe that both visited King’s Landing that day. Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North, and Hand of the late King Robert Baratheon, lost his head that day. But that was not all House Stark lost that day. Arya, youngest daughter of Eddard Stark disappeared that day, and her older sister Sansa was left an innocent lamb alone in a den of lions.

Even the weathered sailors seem to relax into the calmness of the night. One brings out a stringed instrument and begins to strum a melancholic melody, one that sings of a lost love left on far away shores, one that plucks heavily at a person’s heart. It stops your thoughts in their tracks and takes you back, back to a time that you would rather not remember, but it forces you to remember for a second before you can shove the memory away.

Rumors flew faster than arrows in the weeks following the execution of Eddard Stark, dark little things that slithered like snakes across all seven of the Seven Kingdoms. King Joffrey was not the true son of Robert Baratheon, they whispered. No, he was no real King but the product of a crime that few dared say aloud. A dark, twisted love between his mother, the Queen Cersi, and her brother, King’s Guardsman Sir Jamie Lannister. These rumors flew like sparks and traveled faster than wild fire. Those sparks caught in the dry summer grass and ignited an uncontrollable fire. Robert left behind two younger brothers who, upon hearing the rumors claiming Joffrey no true King, set out to take the Iron Throne for themselves. Alas, they did not fight on the same side, and so another House was torn apart– this time by war.

You force your mind back to more pressing matters. Everyone has suffered something, why should you let yours haunt you? You are jolted out of your thoughts entirely at the first shouts of “Land! Straight ahead!”. It appears that you have reached your destination in one piece. The sea had her fun but the gods made sure she did not ask for too high a price. The Captain, after looking long and hard through his spyglass, declares that the ship will anchor on the open sea for one last night before entering the harbor in the morning.

While other houses in the South chose sides, the North was also readying for war. Rob Stark, oldest son and heir to Winterfell, was named King in the North. The North had not taken the death of their Warden lightly, and after calling on his banner men, the new Lord of Winterfell also marched on King’s Landing. This Northern force included House Tully, brought into the fold by blood ties. Soon all the great houses are entangled. Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Isles renews his raiding with a new fire. House Tyrell sides with Renly Baratheon, consummated with a marriage. Meanwhile, Stannis Baratheon places his faith in the God of Light. The Maesters of the Citadel have written this war down as the War of the Five Kings, a clash that will not soon be forgotten. But these old Maesters were not just sitting idly by. An ancient text was uncovered that told of a long forgotten island that harbors a heart more precious than gold, a heart of the most precious, coveted metal known to both Westeros and Essos– Valyrian steel.

The lands that lay behind you, the ones you left many nights ago, do not hold anything for you anymore– those joys and wonders died long ago. The kings and queens may fight their petty wars but no longer will they concern you. For you, the only thing that matters now is the land that lies before you. A new land that may hold a new life for you. As you muse upon the events of the past year you cannot help but wonder what the Fates have in store for you, upon these strange shores…
