We do not..sow?

Harren the Black was a superstitious man. On his right shoulder there was always a crow, that whispered into his ear. His sons knew they were losing favour with the old king, so plotted to divide his realm. The crow informed the old king, whose divinations of an a fiery apocalypse upon his realm endeavoured Harren to seek the wisdom of an eastern witch. The witch, a sire of foul magic and mouth-piece of the fire god, gave Harren a warning "Bend black to fire."

Strange tidings off the coast of the Stormlands did Harren's crow speak of. A lord of beasts and flame now set his terrible gaze upon Harren's lands. The Valyarian warlord Aegon, commanding a mighty dragon with his sister-harlots by his side, set forth his legions upon the Storm King. The mighty King, once the grandest enemy of House Hoare, succumbed to the Dragon-Lord within weeks. Harren - fearing his realm was next, defied his vassals and offered to submit to this great lord, prostrating before him and surrendering his mighty dragonbone whip, the symbol of a great slaver.

In exchange for his crowns, that of the Riverlands and the Iron Islands, Aegon requested two of Harren's sons meet their end in the dragon's jaws. Harren agreed. His plotting heir and eldest sibling meet their ends to save their fathers crowns.

The great house of Hoare took on new words, Bend Black to Fire. Whilst the dragon-lords took this to mean submit to their will, to Harren it had a far darker, deeper meaning. Revenge. One day, the House of Hoare would take a Targaryean bride and their sons will command a dragon, seeking a great vengeance on the dragon lords. But, it was not this day. The scheming lords of Harren's realm murdered the old king in his sleep, five years after he bent the knee to Aegon. In a contested and bloody King's Moot, he was succeeded by his youngest son.

Your goal:

  • Play as Harren the Black in the Wars of Conquests. Submit at the first given opporunity to Aegon and be an absolute loyalist. Make Aegon execute two of your sons in exchange for your crowns. Marry into the royal family (not as Harren, after a few generations) eventually take a Targaryean bride with a dragon. Have your son educated as a High Valyarian by your wife and claim that dragon. You CANNOT take the Iron Throne WITHOUT Blackfyre, the sword. Only by scheming and eventually claiming the sword are you allowed to ascend to the Iron Throne. Once there - destroy The Iron Throne, either giving away the title or gaining independence from it. You want to recreate the Iron Islands, re-impose slavery and wipe out the remaining dragon riders outside your dynasty. Stay Ironborn religion.

Secondary objective: claim The Westerlands through whatever means. Destroy the Lannisters, this is your primary mission prior to gaining a dragon. Make Harrenhal flow with the gold of the West. Marriage the prominent Ironborn dynasties into yours (Greyjoy, Harlaw).

Commands:

  • add_trait mystic
  • add_trait crow
  • give_title k_riverlands 11566
  • give_title k_iron_isles 11566
  • play 77000 (to play as Aegon)
  • imprison 11666
  • imprison 11766 (the sons that will be eaten by Aegon's dragon)
  • play 11566

Mods: More Bloodlines the only really important one.

The Dragonslayer | Damon Lanser

Preamble:

Son of the lord of Fang Tower in the Westerlands, your mother died during childbirth, as to just leave you and your father remaining.

Your father showed compassion, and brought you everywhere never letting you out of sight.

Your father brought you to a Grand Tourney hosted by the King Viserys I for all the realm to attend. There you met lords, ladys, knights, and even saw the King and his children. You've heard only stories of what they looked like, but to see them in person was a surreal experience.

However, what shook you to your core was when you heard a roar, and the sound of something flapping in the wind with enough force to push you back in your seat, and enough volume to put your hands over your ears..... you saw it.... the scales..... the shape of the wings..... you didn't know whether to cover your eyes or to keep staring at the creature.... this was a "dragon"

As the tourney continued you watched knights, lords, and even the Rouge Prince Daemon Targaryen jousting. You couldn't but help to picture yourself down there jousting along side them, but you couldn't take your eyes off Daemon Targaryen..... in his black armor with the Targaryen sigil implanted on his chestplate..... you wanted to be like him.....

On your way back to Fang Tower you kept asking your father to teach you how to joust, and how much you wanted to be like Daemon Targaryen! Your father couldn't help but smile, as he was extremely amused, but then his smile faded back to his straight face........ "maybe when your older....." he said with a hint of concern...... I didn't understand.... "why would father not teach me? this isn't fair!" I told myself.... I looked out the window, as my eyes began to water. My father looking at me, as he could tell how upset I was he said, "I just don't want to lose you too...... if I lost you I wouldn't know what to do", as his eyes began to water as well.....I couldn't say anything, as I was taken aback from this.... I never knew my mother, but only from what my father told me, and seeing him tear up only made me bawl, as I placed my face into his chest soaking his shirt in my tears.

Many years would pass, and finally my father agreed to set up lessons for me to learn how to fight.

I was so excited I waited up all night, as I envisioned myself jousting, and dueling... I wanted to be the greatest fighter. I started out the window at the sun rising up, and realizing how many hours have gone by I turned around to go to bed, as I didn't want to be exhausted for my first lesson tomorrow...... but that's when I heard it......... Flap... Flap...Flap...... my heart sank, as I knew exactly what it was, as it got louder I tried covering my ears..... *FLAP.... FLAP.... FLAP.....*it was deafening now.... and then I heard the roar followed by the sound of a heavy flush of wind/energy.... I rushed to the other side to get a glimpse of what has just happened, and I see a fire..... I didn't know what to do so I hid underneath my bed, as my room could be next...... *FLAP.... FLAP..... FLAp...... FLap.... Flap.... flap........*it got father away. I could still remember the screaming of house guards, and people. Eventually a house guard bursted into my room looking for me.... I still hid, as I believed that we could be under attack.... the guard screaming, "MY LORD!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!"... i kept my mouth shut, but eventually he saw me, and I started screaming, "NOOOO DONT KILLL ME!!!!" as the tears fell down my face.... the house guard yelling over me, "YOUR FATHER HAS BEEN KILLED!" I couldn't believe what I had just heard, as my body just went numb.... I remained there laying underneath my bed just staring at the floor.....apparently my father was walking to the blacksmith outside of town to retrieve a sword that he specifically made for me,........... and that's when he was burned and killed.

To seek answers, and vengeance we took my fathers ashes and brought them to the Lord Paramount of the Westerlands during a feast of his.... gathered around were fellow lords, ladys, and knights of the realm.... I explained the situation nervously stuttering, and the perspective of what I heard from the house guards.... the Lord listened carefully, and after I was out of breath, and finished he raised his hand whilst leaning back in his chair. "Lord Damon I am sorry for this great tradedy that has befell you, but there is nothing I can do".... the room fell silent, and a shiver went up my spine, "what???" I blurted out, "what do you mean theres nothing you can do?", the Lord retorted back, "WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO BOY!?!?! KILL THE DRAGON???? PETITION THE KING??? No I will unfortunately not sacrifice my current situation for you." I was filled with rage, and couldn't form the words as I looked around I saw people just staring at me, as no one spoke in my defense.... I stormed out of the hall, as I was walking the room filled back up with conversations, and laughter.... I ran back to the carriages where I laid on the ground in mud bawling my eyes out.

"Father".... I said looking towards the heavens..... "father.... I will avenge you....and kill all dragons, and their riders, as it their fault you died!!!"

You began training for the day of when you become of age to enact your revenge

On your 18th name day you hear news of the civil war, and realize your time to strike is now.

TLDR:

Your father was murdered by dragons, and now you plot your revenge towards everyone who wronged you including those beasts.

Set-up:

-Pick the "Dance of the Dragons" bookmark

-Choose Fang Tower

-Design a custom character naming him Damon Lanser (You may have a Targ name, but the name is the one your father gave you)

-Add traits:

Duitiful Commander, Strong, Hunter, Diligent, Wroth, Brave, Ambitious, Cynical, Brawny, Shrewd, Formidable Fighter, Authoritative, Ruthless,

-Game Rules: Artifact Revocation Unrestricted, Fabricating Claims Faster, Dragon Taming & Hatching Hard, Release Prisoners after Punishment off

Goals:

  1. You never forgave how the realm treated you when your father died, nor the disservice, as no lord offered any assistance when the Lord Paramount shut you down, because of this you will fabricate claims to take over your neighbors to grow your army. You may listen to you liege lord, but never will you be loyal to them.
  2. Become Lord Paramount of the Westerlands
  3. Either seize the Throne, or Become Independent, as you will not bend the knee to those who murdered your father, or were complacent in it.
  4. Hunt down and kill all High Valyrian familys who ride dragons, or any dragon rider ie: Valyrons, Targs, etc
  5. Hunt down and kill all Dragons, and capture all eggs, so they may never be born again

Optional Goals:

  1. Capture all Dragon Heirlooms (skulls, weapons, jewelry), or Targ Heirlooms, and destroy them, as their existence, and any memory of it should be wiped.
  2. Turn Fang Tower into the next capital of Westeros, or the Westerlands
  3. Desecrate Dragonstone, and change the name
  4. Desecrate/kill off the R'hollr religion, as worship of fire reminds you of your fathers murderer
  5. Desecrate/kill off the Valyrian religion, do I need say why?
  6. Kill off those families that are descendant of Targs such as the Baratheons

Rules:

-You will never become a dragon rider, as long as you are Damon or his descendants.

-Be reluctant of changing your capital, as Kings Landing is the home of Targs, and Casterly Rock is the home of the lord who turned you away

-You will never marry a High Valyrian or any dragon riding family member

-Raise your children to also become Dragonslayers

-You may form alliances, but you are loyal to no one

-Do not tolerate any murders, kinslayers, or rapists in your realm

-Marry only from Westeros, as Essos has that Valyrian charm/culture

A Tale of Time and Honor - Eddard Stark Challenge

Preamble: On the steps of the Sept of King's Landing, Ser Ilyn Payne's greatsword swung down, bringing the echoing words of a boy king to a gruesome reality: "Ser Ilyn, bring me his head." The tumultuous crowd's cheers and jeers merged into a cacophony, drowning out the anguished pleas of Sansa Stark, who desperately implored for mercy. Amidst the chaos, Arya Stark watched from behind a stone statue, her frightened gray eyes locking with her father's as his head hung in grim resignation.

As the blade of the King's Justice's descended, Ned Stark's world exploded into agony, only to reform in an unfamiliar room. No longer was it the chamber he had shared with Catelyn just a year prior, but his boyhood room, a relic from sixteen years past. He surveyed the surroundings, bewildered and disoriented, until the door burst open, revealing a stunning young woman, untouched by the ravages of time, just as she had appeared when he was but eighteen summers old.

"Ned, come on, hurry up. It's unlike you to be late," she chastised with an expression that mixed annoyance and fondness. Her presence was surreal, and as he cupped her face, his heart plummeted. The warmth of living flesh, the confusion in her eyes - this was no dream. "Lyanna," he choked, his voice heavy with emotion, before resolve hardened in his gray eyes. "We're not going to that tourney."

Context: Ned Stark is transported back to the past after his execution in King's Landing. He returns to a year before the tourney of Harrenhal when his father is still alive and his brother Brandon is next in line. Having retained the knowledge of the cruel fate that had befallen his family as well as Robert Baratheon and Jon Arryn at the hands of both the Targaryens and the Lannisters, Ned seeks to avoid that outcome by any means. Knowing that his old children and life are now forfeit, he vows to protect all the family he has.

  2. Grant Eddard Stark, the Command of Most Cailin and switch to playing as him.
  3. As Eddard move Lyanna to your court via console (or any other way you want)
  4. Use the console to give Ned 10 intrigue (or the genius trait or both) to account for his experience of the future.

Rules:

  1. If you expand southwards, you can only conquer a land that doesn't follow the Old Gods faith if it directly borders the realm and once you do you need to convert the holding to your religion before proceeding to conquer another southern land.
  2. Never fight in a melee.
  3. Hardcore mode: never lose the traits just and honorable.

Challenge Objectives:

  1. Blood of the Falcon: Ensure the survival and prosperity of Jon Arryn's lineage.
  2. Out of the Lion's Jaws: Prevent Robert Baratheon from ever marrying a Lannister.
  3. Rising From the Marshes: Restore Moat Cailin to its former glory, as the fortress it was meant to be.
  4. Warrior's Pact: Stand by Robert Baratheon in his quest for the Iron Throne, should he pursue it.
  5. The North Remembers: Annihilate House Lannister or House Targaryen if they ever bring harm upon House Stark.
  6. Bane of the Flayed: Ensure the Bolton house remains in check or annihilate them should they become a problem.
  7. Only Death Can Kill Me: Allow your father, brother, and sister to meet their ends through natural causes, protecting your house from early demise.
  8. Guardians of Winterfell: Eliminate any threats to House Stark's sovereignty within the North.
  9. Stark Legacy: Father five or more children to secure the future of House Stark.

Optional Objectives:

  1. Maiden's Bane: Prevent Lyanna Stark from marrying Robert Baratheon if it seems ill-fated.
  2. Heartless Intervention: If a Stark ever becomes romantically involved with a Targaryen or Lannister, intervene decisively.
  3. Wolves and Weireoods: Expand southward by conquering and converting your neighbours to the Old Gods. (see rules for more details.)
  4. Wolf King Beyond the Wall: Expand north beyond the Wall, converting the wildlings to Northmen culture and the Old Gods. Establish an independent Kingdom beyond the Wall upon success.
  5. Warding the Kraken: Abduct or acquire custody of Theon Greyjoy by any means necessary.
  6. Fire and Ice: Acquire another Valyrian steel sword for House Stark, naming it "Fire" as a counterpart to the ancestral blade "Ice."

The Impaler of Westeros - Dracula in Game of Thrones Challenge

The Impaler of Westeros - Historical Character Challenge

Preamble:

You are Vlad Dracul, Third of Your Name, known by your enemies and those who fear you as the Impaler. You have taken back your rightful Wallachian throne from the hands of the corrupt and denegerate boyars, who have brought the country to its destruction with their antics, and have sworn tribute to the King of Hungary and the Ottoman Sultan. You rid quickly of the servitude set by the Hungarians and Ottomans, executed those responsible for its establishment and have brought Wallachia to stability and prosperity with your iron fist. However, your rule was ended when the sons of the treacherous boyars have devised a plot to murder you with the aid of the Hungarian and Ottoman rulers. You were ready to accept the judgement of God, knowing that you will be hailed as hero for your just and diligent nature, even if cruel. To your surprise, you were not met by God, but by seven deities, who introduced themselves as the Father, the Mother, the Warrior, the Maiden, the Crone, the Smith and the Stranger. They gave you another chance in a new world, to aid in the purification and saving of a kingdom more wretched, corrupted and full of vile criminals than your homeland. They have given you the 35.000 loyal men that have aided you in your takeover of Wallachia, in their young ages, fully equipped and battle-hardened, and have also transformed you to be young again. The seven deities told you everything about this world: continents, lands, kingdoms, artifacts, cultures, magic, dragons, religions, demonic races and of the impending dooming threat of the Great Other. Before being sent into this new world, they briefed you over the current events, how a bastard born of incest by the name of Joffrey illegally ascended the Iron Throne and arrested Eddard Stark, the friend and closest advisor of the former King, Robert Baratheon, who sought to install the rightful heir, Robert's brother Stannis upon the throne. Using the knowledge you gained and your troops, you have freed Eddard Stark from the dungeons and together deposed Joffrey and placed Stannis upon the throne. For your loyalty to the true King and your sense of patriotism, you have been granted lands in the Vale, the castle of Midlor Point and its surroundings, the lands of the former traitorous Master of Coin Petyr Baelish who together with the former Queen Dowager Cersei Lannister, her children, and her brother, the former Kingsguard Jaime Lannister have all been imprisoned and are awaiting trial for their crimes. Now you travel to your new home and start developing your lands, your council and your family to prepare for the threat of the White Walkers and to purify Westeros of scum.

Setup:

- Start the day right after Robert's death, Joffrey's ascension to the Iron Throne and Eddard's imprisonment. Do some console modding so that Joffrey is deposed and imprisoned in Stannis' dungeons along with his siblings, mother and uncle Jaime and make sure that Eddard is freed, Stannis is King and that Vlad rules over Midlor Point. Make sure Petyr Baelish is also imprisoned by Stannis. Easiest way is to simply play as Stannis, declare war for the throne on Joffrey, console command your auto victory since in lore this is a coup lead by Vlad and Eddard and Stannis is just offered the throne. After winning, pardon everyone except Joffrey, his siblings, his mother, his uncle Jaime and Petyr Baelish, have these people mentioned imprisoned.

- Create a custom character called Vlad of House Draculesti in the place of Petyr, as Lord of Midlor Point.

- In the character creator, make your culture Valemen as the Vale has the closest terrain to real life Romania (mountains that are hard to pass through with armies), and make your faith the Faith of the Seven, you have adopted this faith in this world as it is the closest to your real faith.

- Once in game, add the following traits by using the "add_trait" command in the console: cruel, ruthless, torturer, just, diligent, temperate, wroth, paranoid, honest, trained fighter, competent steward, skilled commander, trickster, cavalry_leader, flamboyant schemer and zealous. You shall follow the aspect of the Father (I think this is if you have More Bloodlines + Zealous a popup event will come to ask which aspect of the Seven you follow with each granting either stewardship, diplomacy, intrigue, learning or martial).

- Use the customizer to create an similar looking character to Vlad Tepes, look in wikipedia or google for character references. You need to make him wear a hat similar to his real life one, the one with the ruby in the middle of it.

Main Goals:

You have two main goals:

  1. To clean Westeros of vile and wretched scum, with your children ruling after you with the same sense of justice and righteousness, you will never allow any other house to sit upon the throne other than House Baratheon, shall they be deposed but still have lands you will immediately attempt to take back the throne for them and if they are completely wiped out either aid the house lead by the most just, honorable and diligent person in-game or try to take the throne for yourself. You must either kill by plot or kidnap and impale the following people: Tywin Lannister, Gregor Clegane, Amory Lorch, Pycelle, Petyr (if he is not executed by Stannis), Jaime (if not executed by Stannis).
  2. Gather as many allies and troops as possible and prepare for the threat of the White Walkers. You will join all defensive and offensive wars against the Others.

Optional Goals:

- Keep all men of the silk of Eddard Stark, Stannis Baratheon, and Davos Seaworth close to you, as friends or allies and do your best to keep them alive. Shall those men be murdered by an revealed person, have them immediately punished (kidnap and execute by impalement).

Rules:

- You will not have councillors with a level of skill lower than 13, and with the following traits: deceitful, arbitrary, greedy, slothful, drunkard, cynical. You do not tolerate incompetence, snakes and those unfaithful. Try to fill your council with people with atleast one of the following traits: just, diligent, honest, honorable.

- You will marry a suitable woman of you, no matter how powerful her family is she must never have those traits: lustful, cynical, deceitful. You will favor chastity and honesty over beauty and skills. You can even marry a lowborn woman as well if you find don't find a noble one with those traits. You will marry only Westerosi as Vlad and his descendants and never dwindle with Essosi unless it's a family in exile (Jorah Mormont's line, Targaryens, Golden Company nobles, etc).

- You will always raise your children to be just and diligent.

- You will always use execution by impalement as punishment for criminals. No matter their rank and status, murderers, rapists, thieves and traitors will be punished all the same. All of Westeros will see that your justice is equal for noble and commonfolk alike.

- Do not ally, marry and trust the Dornish. They remind too much of your former enemies and rivals, the Ottomans. But do not attempt to cause chaos in the realm by attacking them unless they attack you.

- Punish all infidel preachers in your court: Rh'llor, Drowned God or any other faith if they are seen to practice or convert it publicly. You are a man of faith and will see that the only faith in the world is that of the Seven. Even as great and just of a man Stannis is, if he attempts to convert the rest of Westeros besides Dragonstone and fill the people with his heretical, demonical and false faith, you will attempt to depose and replace him with another Baratheon that follows the Faith of the Seven.

- You have heard of the deeds of the Targaryens, the good and evil alike. You will not attempt to harm Viserys or/and Daenerys unless they directly start a war against Westeros, then you shall exterminate the dragons. If they are peaceful, if anything, try to attempt marriages into the Targaryens, and have your bloodline ride dragons.

Optional:

- Try to become hemophiliac, cannibal, or Vampire (if you have the Vampires mod, it's in steam workshop, though not sure if compatible: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2094399028). The reason this is optional is because you will play as Vlad the Impaler the ruler, not Bram Stoker's.

P.S: Already posted this challenge but decided to make some changes.

A New Faction - A Dance of the Dragons Challenge

Preamble:

"The Blacks or the Greens? Rhaenyra or Aegon II? Who do you fight for?" somebody asks you. "Blacks who? Greens what?" you think to yourself as you walk away from the person. You don't know anything about that, you fight for the one, true leader of Westeros, [Enter generic targaryen name here], and their faction, the [insert any colour whatsoever here]s!

You are a member of House Targaryen, you have a dragon and, most importantly, you have a claim to the Iron Throne. While both the Blacks and the Greens were doing their own stuff in King's Landing, you never took either side, thinking that both sides were not worthy of controlling the Iron Throne, and that only you and your loyal supporters were worthy of that honour! So, while Rhaenyra and Alicent feuded with one another, wearing their faction's colours, you were also in the mix, wearing colours of your own. Your faction was significantly smaller than the other two factions, but still you did have supporters.

Now, Viserys I is dead and the Dance of the Dragons is about to begin. Will you be able to win the Dance and seat yourself on the Iron Throne? That is for you to determine!

TLDR:

You are a Targ with a dragon, a claim and support neither the Blacks or the Greens. Chaos ensues.

Setup:

- Start in the "The Dance of the Dragons(8129)" Bookmark.

- Create a custom character that is the Lord of the Riverlands (override the Tully Lord Paramount, don't worry they will still be in your court. Lore reasons are Viserys I gave you the Lord Paramountcy in rewards of your great service to him.)

- In the character creator, only change your character's culture to High Valyrian(you can change is Ethnicity as well.) and add one trait, the "House Customiser" trait.

- Once in game, add the following traits by using the "add_trait" command in the console: "dragon_rider", "ambitious" and then an education trait of your choosing as well as two or three other traits of your choosing.

- Now, wait for the House Customiser event to pop up and then select "My House still exists" option, then select which ever targaryen you want to be related to and then select which ever option best suits your roleplaying needs, do note, that you can make your character older by using the "age [num of your choosing]" command to age your character by how ever many years you choose, this is helpful if you want to play an older character, for instance, I used this to play as the oldest daughter of Viserys I and thus had the best claim to the Iron Throne(So, I used the age command and was like 34 or something.)

- After that, wait for the dragon rider event to pop up, and then you get to select what type of dragon you have, you can select any option except the oldest option. The default option is the adult option.

- Finally, go to Aegon II and declare war on him, using the "Claim Iron Throne" option and if that option is not there, then the "Dragon Conquest of the Iron Throne" option.

Main Goals:

Your main goal is to become the ruler of Westeros, and you are allowed to do this in any way possible, as long as you do not side with either side in the civil war.

- Become the Ruler of Westeros

Optional Goals:

- If you have the cruel or ruthless trait, then try to kill as many dragons and their riders as possible, otherwise if you have the kind trait, try to keep all dragons alive.

- Obtain one or both of the Targaryen Valyrian steel blades.

Rules:

- You are not allowed to ally with either side in the civil war.

Justice for the Young Wolf's Pup - A House Westerling Challenge

Preamble:

You are Lord Gawen Westerling, Lord of the Crag and head of house Westerling. At the start of the war of the five kings, you were imprisoned by the Mallisters, but was later freed. While you were languishing in a dungeon cell, your scheming wife Sybelle and her brother Rolph schemed and plotted and arranged the marriage of your daughter Jeyne to Robb Stark, 'The Young Wolf' without your knowledge or approval. But what's worse, far worse, was the dishonourableand cruel, Red Wedding that was plotted by the Lannisters, Freys, Boltons and your wife and brother-in-law that resulted in the death of many men, including Robb Stark and your son and heir Raynald!

After you were freed and after the Red Wedding, you went to save your family that were held in Riverrun. After the Siege of Riverrun, you collected your family and made the journey back to the Crag. While traveling, your daughter Jeyne tearfully explained the full extent of your wife's treachery, revealing to you all that was done by the Spicers, from helping plot the downfall of the Starks, to giving Jeyne moontea, to ultimately resulting in the death of Raynald! But Jeyne also revealed to you a secret that was not known to her mother; She was pregnant with Robb Stark's child!

With all of this newfound knowledge, the moment you arrived at the Crag, you imprisoned your wife and made a sworn vow to yourself and your children(who were all attached to Robb Stark) that justice will be had! Justice for your widowed daughter Jeyne and her Young Wolf, justice for your happy and noble son Raynald, who was so cruely slain by the Freys, and most important of all, Justice for your grandchild, the Young Wolf's pup, the rightful ruler of the North!

TLDR:

Gawen Westerling discovered that his widowed daughter Jeyne is carrying Robb Stark's heir, and vows to seat him/her on the throne of the North and rectify all the injustice done to House Westerling and Stark.

Sybelle: 1192

- Once you've done that, free all of your children but not Sybelle.

- Finally, Jeyne is supposed to be pregnant with Robb's child, so use the following console command to make Jeyne pregnant with Robb's child: "pollinate 2199 2059" (Note: If Jeyne's child dies, just use this code again and pretend the whole thing never happened... Also, you might not see a pregnant trait on Jeyne for a while, but you can check if she is pregnant by using the charinfo command and hovering over her portrait.)

- Do not support either the Lannisters or the Freys in any war that they would be your allies in.

- Wherever possible try to injure, maim, or kill members of house Frey and Lannister(You may not assassinate members of any of these while playing as Gawen)

The Rouge Seahorse: House Velayron challenge

Just before the battle of Blackwater, Lord Monfrod Velayron sent word for his Bastard Daemon 'Waters' of his own cadet house Caladryon to join him at Dragonstone. He spoke with Stannis about legitimise his Bastard son in the event of his death occuring in the wars to come. He didn't want Driftmark falling into the hands of his young sons, who would be ruled by regents. His Bastard was an accomplished warrior and commander who had spent many years in essos fighting as a sellsword, so Lord Velayron knew that he would be the most capable of leading their house back into its former glory.

Lord Monfrod died at the battle of the Blackwater. This meant that when Daemon arrived at Dragonstone, he was told by Stannis his father was dead, and that he would be the his Lord of Driftmark.

"Uphold your father's wishes Ser Daemon. Lay your sword at my feet and pledge me your service and you no longer be known as waters, but shall rise again as Daemon Velayron, Lord of Driftmark." - Stannis Baratheon

Daemon accepts and is named chief general, where he is charged with training troops on Dragonstone and with the castles defence.

All the while fighting for Stannis, Daemon has an ulterior motive. He heard many stories of the Targaryen beauty who conquered Mereen. He was considering leaving his sellsword company and joining her before he received word from his lord father. He secretly plans to restore the Targaryens to the Iron Throne and Marry Queen Daenerys Targaryen, restoring House Velayron to the prestige and power they deserve.

Setup: Start in FFC

Land a custom High Valyrian, faith of the seven character on Driftmark with the house customizer trait.

(You may not change culture but can change religion as you see fit.)

Give yourself the following traits: Attractive Quick Formidable fighter Skilled Commander Inspiring Leader Direct Leader Lustful Ruthless Ambitious Brave Proud Diligent

Before using house customizer, de-age yourself to the age of 7 (Age ID - #number of required years). Then join House Velayron as Monterys' half brother. Then age yourself up to 18 years old and add the legitimate bastard trait.

No DLC required other than what you want to enhance your playthrough.

Objectives: A) Restore the prestigious name of House Velayron by any means necessary.

B) Restore the Targaryens to power.

Ally yourself to Daenerys Targaryen, ideally through a normal marriage, ensuring House Velayron becomes the royal line, like they were meant to be if the Great Council of 101ac voted in favour of Prince Aemon's line, which would have meant that the Throne would have passed to your family.

If you are unable to gain a Lord Paramount level title quick enough, marry Daenerys matrilinealy, but ensure you have at least one legitimatised bastard before you do, so a son is available to inherit Driftmark so your game can continue. Then, try and tie the Velayrons as closely as possible to the Throne, and try and lead to a Velayron inheriting if possible.

If this fails and a Targaryen child is born, either by Aegon or Dany in the years that follow, ensure they take the throne with House Velayron there to support them with a fitting consort.

Fire of the Gods: The House Valyrios Challenge

Intro: Your name is Imperion Valyrios. Your family ruled as dragonlords in Old Valyria for thousands of years...until came the Doom. The ruin of your family, the destruction of everything you worked for, your wealth, power and all but one of your dragons.

However, rather than be destroyed in the volcanic apocalypse, your magical abilities unconsciously transported you 400 years into the future. When you arrived in a former colony named Elyria and tried to explain who you were, the Stormsingers of your faith were astounded, and proclaimed you the immortal God Emperor of New Valyria, the prophecised Great Dragonlord that was foretold in the days of the Freehold. A dragonlord that would unite all others and bring all of Planetos to heel with magic and dragonfire.

At first you did not believe them, but as you petted your dragon, and he looked back at you with his mysterious yet fierce eyes, you realized it would be up to you to restore the glory of Valyria...or die trying! You sought out all the Stormsingers in Elyria and summoned them to court, where they cast all sorts of strange spells until you opened your eyes, and even your dragon noticed something had changed.

Automatic Character Randomizer

Hi,

Now i've got over 800 hours with the game I feel like i've played every possible scenario so lately i've been using This character randomizer to play new and unexpected scenarios. But it takes me quite some time to randomize the character in order to play it by rolling dices and so on. So I've written a Python code that makes the proces automatic, all you have to do is press run and you get a fresh new random character, with it's attributes, gender, age education, and a random starting date.

It is not yet complete, since it doesn't give you a random starting location yet but i'll finish it next week so it does that as well.

I hope you guys Enjoy it :D

Link to the Code, just press the green run button and you get your randomized character

Hodor

Preamble

Hodor.

Setup

  • Start in The Crowned Stag as Robert Baratheon.
  • Abdicate.
  • Use the console command give_title e_the_iron_throne 10174, then give_title d_kings_landing 10174, then give_title c_kings_landing 10174.
  • Use the console command play 10174.

Rules

  • As Walder has the imbecile trait, you have a significant disadvantage stats-wise. This adds to the challenge, so do not remove it or attempt to do so.
  • You may not take any violent action against Stark and Tully characters, unless it is in self defense.

Objectives

  • Rule the Seven Kingdoms as the glorious Hodor dynasty (or whatever else you wish to name it). Seriously, staying on the throne will be hard as-is.
  • Establish your dynasty’s rule - find a way to revoke Dragonstone from Stannis and give it to your heir instead.
  • Ensure the Starks stay in power in the North, and the Tullys as well if possible. Maintain a good relationship with both dynasties and keep them on your council. Bran might not exist yet but your loyalty transcends space, time, and logic.

Bonus Objectives

  • Hatch a dragon.
  • Tame a dragon.
  • Revoke Lord Paramount titles and give them to your dynasty members instead. Hodor rules everywhere.
  • Conquer Essos.

Easy Mode

  • You are allowed to convert to the Faith of the Seven and other religions.
  • You may give yourself up to 500 gold, 500 prestige and 500 piety for free. Aerys left behind a treasury overflowing with gold. Being king gives you natural prestige. Might as well add piety too then while at it.

Hard Mode

  • You are not allowed to change your religion, even if Walder dies and one of his children inherits.
  • Only marry Northerners. You are a Stark loyalist and it shows.

His Favorite Weapon Was Prayer: Baelor Targaryen Challenge

Preamble

You are Baelor Targaryen AKA Baelor the Blessed, beloved by the smallfolk. A pious man, you want to spread the Faith of the Seven... everywhere. Some call you blessed, some call you befuddled, but it does not matter, the Gods are on your side.

Setup

  • Start as Baelor I Targaryen anywhere between 1 First Moon 8161 and 31 Twelfth Moon 8170.
  • Betroth Daeron Targaryen to Myriah Martell.

Rules

  • You may not have any children as long as you are Baelor the Blessed.
  • When Baelor dies and you play as his successor, you will be “inspired by Baelor” and start a religious way of life. Use the console command clr_focus if one is preset and change it to theology. Rules below all apply here.
  • You may not execute or assassinate anyone. Any sort of violence is strictly forbidden.
  • Prisoners should be released as soon as possible, alternatively go on trial and then be released in a show of mercy. Because you forgive them for their sins. Plot to rescue people from prison if you can.
  • You are not allowed to do any incest marriages between your relatives. Marriage will only be used to marry daughters from other noble houses to men of your dynasty in order to secure peace.
  • You may not marry infidels.
  • Your daughters, sisters and other female members of your dynasty shall remain pure and be trained as septas. If you worry about their purity you can lock them in the maidenvault by using the imprison console command then right clicking on their portrait and choosing “put in house arrest”.
  • Your children, nieces and nephews are only allowed to have a learning or diplomacy education.
  • You are not allowed to have your weaponmaster train children.
  • You may not save gold. If there is gold in the treasury, you’re doing something wrong. Regularly send gifts, do anything for the smallfolk, all investments to protect them and prevent revolts.
  • War should be prevented as much as one can. You are forbidden from leading armies and will always pardon and forgive any war prisoners.
  • You may only wear Baelor’s crown, and you are forbidden from equipping swords - you may have the artifacts in your treasury, but never have them equipped. Your only weapon is prayer!
  • You are only allowed to have the Theology focus, unless your dynasty is in danger of ending, then you may choose the Family focus.
  • You may not make the first night legal again.

Objectives

  • Become a paragon of virtue.
  • Convert the entirety of Westeros to the Faith of the Seven.
  • Stay at peace for as many years as possible.
  • Hatch a dragon egg (Baelor attempted to do so through prayer after all, so you can too! Not sure what the purpose was since they were never to be used, but he was a lunatic after all...)

Hard Mode Additional Objectives

  • Convert the entirety of Essos to the Faith of the Seven.

Easy Mode

  • Enable the option to demand religious conversion.
  • Ignore the rule about not being allowed to marry infidels, compensate by converting the infidel after marriage.
  • Skip the maidenvault and marry female members of your dynasty off to secure peace. Do still educate them in the Faith though.

Hard Mode (“Impossible Mode”)

  • Only play with Theology focus, Family focus disallowed even when the dynasty is in danger.
  • Imprison your female relatives in the maidenvault using the right click “imprison” option instead of only the console command - this will enable tyranny.
  • Never declare war.

Valyrian Westeros - Aegon the Conqueror Full Incest Challenge

You are Aegon the Conqueror of House Targaryen, wed to your beautiful sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya, who helped you conquer the continent. Those pesky septons sure have opinions about the fact that you have two wives that happen to be your sisters. However, it does not matter what they think - brother-sister marriages are a tradition and WILL be kept intact!

Start in 31 Twelfth Moon 7999.

Background

  • Start as Aegon Targaryen in 31 Twelfth Moon 7999.
  • Do not convert to the Faith of the Seven.
  • If your game has set Visenya or Rhaenys as a “concubine” for some reason, marry them to fix it.

Mission

  • Complete your conquest, hopefully including Dorne.
  • Marry your sons to your daughters and have the dynasty include as many brother-sister marriages as possible.
  • Convert as many provinces as you can to the Valyrian religion and (if High Valyrian Cull is off) Valyrian culture.

Rules

  • You are only allowed to marry your daughters to your sons, cousins, and other male members of the dynasty. Preferably only 1 daughter per son, BUT if you have excess daughters you may take advantage of the Valyrian polygamy OR forbid them from marrying in some other way.
  • If there are absolutely no daughters or close relatives available to your sons, you are allowed to marry a Celtigar, a Velaryon or a Baratheon. If none of those are available then you may choose a Qoherys spouse or an Essosi Valyrian highborn.
  • Prioritize brother-sister marriage. Second to that is cousin marriage, uncle-niece marriage and aunt-nephew marriage. Others are dead last in priority order.
  • Matrilineal marriage may be enabled in game rules but do not use it yourself.
  • The “event 30001” console command is allowed for removing marriages that cause problems in the game, for example if one of your sons elopes with a lowborn courtier matrilineally, or if a neighboring lord who is 60 years old marries a 10 year old girl.
  • Any bastards that are not born of a Targaryen and a Targaryen (or, if none are available, a Targaryen and a Baratheon/Velaryon, Celtigar), are a problem. Aim to send them to the wall or disinherit them through other means.
  • You are sympathetic to the Faith of the Seven and may include their worship if you were to reform the Valyrian religion. Do not declare war on them, defend if they attack you - because that doesn’t give you much of a choice, and lower their authority, but do not execute septons or suppress them through violence.
  • If a child of your dynasty is “obviously a bastard” a la the Strong Velaryon sons, it is irrelevant unless they are discovered to be bastards.

Easy Mode: Mod all bloodlines to be available to all descendants irrelevant of matrilineal/patrilineal inheritances and marriages. Remove restrictions on marrying different religions.

Hard Mode: Mod it so Targaryens still get negative traits such as inbred. Disallow polygamy. Educate all your children differently. Play with High Valyrian cull off (now others might claim your dragons).

Once A Friend... | Darry Loyalty Challenge

Preamble

You are Lord Lyman Darry of The Bay of Crabs. You and your bannermen are among the few riverlords who have remained loyal to the Targaryen cause. In spite of Aerys' madness, and the rumors about Rhaegar, you just know that the dragons are what is right for the realm. Your brother Ser Jonothor Darry fights in the Kingsguard on the behalf of the Targaryens, helping defend the recently born Daenerys Targaryen and her mother Rhaella. They are innocent, and do not deserve to suffer for the crimes of The Mad King. The Targaryens saved your family from the cruel iron born, and raised the riverlanders into a proud culture of Lords and Knights. Repay them. Win this war, bring down the Baratheon Usurpers, and serve as loyal bannermen to the dragons! It won't be easy, but your plowman ancestors didn't give up either when making this land their own.

Setup

-Begin in The War of The Usurper bookmark as Lord Lyman Darry (16 Ninth Moon, 8282)

-Use event lore_children.2 on Aerys until Daenerys is born. Given The Darry's connection to Dany, I figure having her born will make this challenge more interesting and slightly easier with more Targs

-Give yourself 250 gold. When Aerys heard of your loyalty he scribbled an inane and near incomprehensible letter of gratitude to you, alongside some coin for your cause

Easy Mode

-Move Jonothor and Daenerys to your court. Jonothor managed to smuggle the young princess out of harms way and back to you. Even if the war fails, the Targaryens will not die out.

Rules

-Never convert from your proud Riverman culture, unless you are converting to a valyrian culture

-Never allow the Targaryens to die out

-Always own land within The Riverlands

-Even a bastard Targaryen counts. Protect and educate Targaryen bastards when you can. Their family is small and fragile, so its best to keep even bastards alive and healthy...Just avoid another Blackfyre Rebellion

Objectives

Now the rains weep over the ruined castle of Castamere, but all is not lost...You and your children bear the blood of the red lions, and a perfect opportunity has been presented to you. The seven kingdoms are embroiled in a bloody squabble for power, and Tywin's back is turned.

You will avenge your kinsman and right this wrong committed by the Lion Lord. Kill Tywin, destroy his legacy, and end his foolish rule over both the Westerlands and The Iron Throne.

Setup

-Begin on 8299, third of the second moon (one month before the clash of kings bookmark) as Ser Lymond of Goldengrass Hills

-Take The Westerlands from Tywin, and kill every single Lannister that you can. Dont let a single golden haired bastarf live through the coming downpour

Get It Together! | Aerys II Challenge

Overview

The purpose of this challenge is to roleplay as a good-gearted Aerys Targaryen. This can be explained by either him suddenly recovering from his madness and realizing what he had done, or even being influenced by Bloodraven to become sane again like he was in the past. Right the wrongs you have done.

Preamble

You are Aerys II "The Mad King" Targaryen, and for the first time in years you can finally think clearly again! Whether it be from something your Maester fed you, or the divine intervention of the gods themselves, you are as sane as you had been in your younger days. However, this won't change things by itself. Your joke of a small council informs you of the atrocities you have enacted upon your family and subjects in the past years when madness gripped you firmly. This will not do! You need to find some way to make up for the horrible things you did...Leave a better kingdom for Rhaegar, and ensure he is ready to take your stead.

Setup

-Begin in 8282, 15, Eighth Moon (One month before Robert's rebellion)

-Add the following traits to Aerys: kind, just, diligent, patient

-Remove the following traits from Aerys: paranoid, uncouth, fire obsessed

Additional, Easier Setup

-Remove depressed from Rhaella. Now that you are free of your madness she can finally rest assured you will no longer hurt her

-Remove the lunatic trait from yourself

-Add trianed_fighter to yourself. Back in the day you were a competent warrior alongside your friends Tywin and Steffon

-add 250 gold to yourself, Varys has decided to fund you from unknown sources to see where your sudden change in personality brings you

Rules -Never convert your culture, ensure your dynasty holds on to its roots without being fanatic about it

-Avoid incestuous marriages. This has not only possibly caused Targaryen madness, but also weakened your family's standing in the realm. Marry either Cousins or distant Targaryens, if none are available marry them to non-Targaryens

-Always teach the importance of family and keep your family close together to avoid civil wars and rifts forming in your dynasty

-Be fair and just to your vassals

-If Rhaegar seeks to take the crown from you, let him

Objectives

-be kind to the family you have left. Treat Rhaella kindly as a king should treat his queen, gift her splendid objects and be nice to her whenever you can. As for your sons, ensure Viserys does not become a mad man like you did, and ensure Rhaegar is kept safe and happy, ready to take your place should you die.

-Befriend Rhaegar, show him you have changed

-Make it up to the houses you have wronged. Grant them titles and vassals, anything to even make up a little bit for burning their relatives. Give them royal privilege even if need be, seats on your council, gifts, anything to show them you will no longer be a tyrant

These are the families you need to apologize to:

-Give Dontos Hollard Hollard Hall when you can

-Give Duskendale to either the Darkwoods or house Darke in hopes they reform house Duskendale. They wronged you but you went overboard with your vengeance and killed children...

-The Starks

-The Arryns

-The Lannisters

-If the Baratheons rebel, spare them when you win. Be merciful and do not harm the sons of your late friend Steffon. You may send Robert to the nights watch if you deem that necessary

-Apologize to Tywin with a gift, use commands to remove Jaime from the kingsguard. I

-Befriend Tywin if you can, or atleast end your rivalry.

-Foster good relationships and betrothals/marriages between house Targaryen, Baratheon, and Lannister

-If Rhaegar fucks up and steals Lyanna, ensure this slight is righted. If any of your heirs ever do anything dishonorable, send them to the nightswatch if you can afford to do so. If not, whip them into shape.

-Do one great thing before your death, to lessen the stain on your name and dynasty(you can do multiple if you would like)

  1. Conquer the stepstones as you once promised you would in your youth

  2. Bring dragons back to life and ensure your house rules the skies again

  3. Find Darksister or Blackfyre, or a new valyrian blade for your proud house


-If the whitewalkers come, defeat them. Use your fire and fury for good.

Afterword

Hope you all enjoy! Feel free to suggest new challenges you would like to play. Please write up an AAR in the comments, if you feel like it.

Intro: Your name is Monford Velaryon, Lord of the Tides and Lord of Driftmark. In ages past, you were a house of dragonlords just like your Valyrian brothers, the Targaryens. Despite fighting on their side in the Rebellion, they were cast down. Now, your new liege lords are the usurping Baratheons and you have chosen to support the rightful heir, Stannis Baratheon. But that will not last forever... No. You must rise again and reclaim your true destiny in this world. You must be the dragon.

Goals: Become King of the Iron Throne.

Ally with Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. Word has reached you of the last survivor of the old ruling family, the Targaryens. Thus it would behoove you to ally with her, perhaps wed her to your half-brother Aurane. Together you will show the world what it means to be a dragonlord.

If Daenerys dies, tame one of her dragons yourself and take your rightful place as the only true heir to Valyria

Rebuild old Valyria as best you can and reform the empire in Essos.

Reclaim Seafoam, your ancestral sword.

Secondary Goals:

Keep Driftmark as the capital.

Build up the Velaryon royal fleet.

Keep your bloodline pure and only marry into Valyrians or Westerosi Valyrians.

Convert to the Valyrian religion and reform it to get Divine Marriage and Polygamy, as in the old days.
