With everyone like Genesis, Eclipse, and Steele making these stories I had an idea to do one based on Game of Thrones. There seems to be a lot of fans here so I thought there might be interest in something like this. If you're not a fan of the show (or books) that shouldn't matter if you want to be a part of this.

The way this would work is that it is set in the exact same universe as Game of Thrones, except all of the characters and houses would be replaced by ones made by EAW. If you decide to join, you will have to pick a seat of power from the world of Game of Thrones. This will be first come, first serve and a location can only be picked once. Pick carefully because this will help establish your military strength. This is the best map that I know of but if you want a location that isn't on there for some reason that's fine too.

House Name: (Example: House Stark) *Houses should be named whatever you want.
Seat of Power: (Example: Winterfell) *Your castle or base. (Not an entire region)
Sigil(optional): (Example: Direwolf)
Words(optional): (Example: Winter is Coming)
House Description: 
House Members: (List all living members of your family and their relations)

By signing up you automatically receive the title of Lord for whatever you choose as your seat of power. You cannot sign up as a king, warden, or anything other than control over your seat of power.

Future Plans (if enough people sign up)
The titles of King, Wardens, etc. will be determined at a later date if there is enough interest. If we get to that, we will hold a vote to determine the first King or Queen. Voting for yourself will obviously not be allowed. After the vote, anyone who didn't vote for the new ruler will be given a chance to declare loyalty or to declare war. Anyone who did vote for the new ruler, will be considered loyal automatically, however you can revolt at anytime. 

War will be based on a combination of the power of your house and your alliances. Alliances can be formed in several ways.

1. Loyalty to an overlord. (Such as kneeling to a king or warden.)

2. Losing a war. (If you lose a war, the winners will likely place someone loyal to their alliance in power.)

3. Political Alliance. (You can form alliances with other people's houses if they agree to an arranged marriage or another kind of agreement.)

Alliances can be broken at anytime, war can be declared anytime and on any house. I'm hoping to make this interactive and give people incentive for participating, but I will still plan to write for anyone who signs up.

Sign-ups are open now, so if you are interested please sign up! Thanks!

this seems interesting.

Steele found this which could be cool to use when choosing a sigil.

House Name: House Flaeryan



Seat of Power: Northfield (Winterfell)



Sigil(optional): A crown wrapped around a sword signifying the death of a king or a prominent person. Shortly after his father was murdered, Alban ordered the sigil to be changed to this one as he considers the king to be a tyrant.



Motto(optional): Death To All Tyrants



House Description: The Flaeryans have always been close to the families of those that have conquered the seven kingdoms. In fact, Merthin Flaeryan used to be hand of the king until the king discovered his eldest son's and father's plans of taking over the iron throne and executed him mercilessly, despite the fact he wasn't allied with either of them. Currently, two Flaeryans aspire to sit upon the iron throne, there's a war dwelling within House Flaeryan. A war which is utterly destroying house Flaeryan. Alban Flaeryan wants to be king and his grandfather, Vilas Flaeryan, has made it clear he has aspirations to become king as well. House Flaeryan is divided, some support Vilas whereas others support Alban. Both them have a large army at their disposal. The question is, who will rise? And who will fall? Find out as the story unfolds.



House Members:





Merthin Flaeryan (Father, deceased): Merthin Flaeryan was hand of the king until he was unjustly executed for treason.






Yvaine Flaeryan (Mother): Yvaine disappeared several years ago. She is rumored to be a prisoner of the king.






Alban Flaeryan (Me, eldest son): Lord of Northfield, aspiring king






Cecelda Flaeryan (Sister): One of Alban's sisters. She's willing to marry anyone to become queen she is also WILLING to do anything to become queen even if it means betraying her family.






Rhoswen Flaeryan (Younger sister): Young but wild. Rhoswen wants to be a knight when she grows older even tho female knights aren't usual at all






Tybalt Flaeryan (Younger brother): Youngest one in house Flaeryan, aspires to join the night's watch some day






Sadon Flaeryan (Uncle): Merthins's brother and Vilas' hand






Vilas Flaeryan (Grandfather): Vilas was a former commander and now intends on taking the throne and the crown as well as everything the king possesses.. that's just how ambitious he is.






Kerensa Flaeryan (My wife): Kerensa recently married Alban and desires to be queen just as much as he desires to be king.


NOTE: There a lot more members of the family/house but most of them live south therefore I included the most important ones. 


Important fact about house Flaeryans: They used to have a different sigil and motto, but they changed it shortly after the death of Merthin. The original sigil is the one Vilas Flaeryan uses to distinct himself from his grandson:



This sigil has a dragon on it because the Flaeryans descendants fought alongside dragons a long time ago. Vilas is rumored to have dragon eggs given to him by his ancestors.

Alright, so far we got...

House Steele of Highgarden

House Mourningstar of Starfall

House Catstache of Acorn Hall

House Serp of Skyreach

House Shirokov of Blackcrown

House Flaeryan of Northfield

Kimbo said he was gonna make one and I'll make one later so that makes 8 houses which is probably enough to start. I'm gonna leave the sign-ups open another day or so in case anyone else wants to join.

Thanks everyone who signed up so far!

I know nothing about GoT but why not?

House Name: House Doge
Seat of Power: Lemonwood
Sigil(optional): Dog (big scary ones, like hounds or some shit)
Words(optional): Release the hounds.
House Description: We release the dogs on motherfuckers who try to fuck with us. Everyone in the house thinks has a dog of their own which they've specifically groomed to just maul motherfuckers.
House Members:
Titus Doge (me)
Rubeus Doge (father)
Consuela Doge (mother)

Dougal Doge (grandfather)
Ruby Doge (sister)
Barry Doge (brother)
Vince Doge (brother)

House Name: House Ursal

Seat of Power: Isle of Ursa (Bear Island)

Sigil(optional): Grizzly Bear

Words(optional): "Conquer the Wild"

House Description: House Ursal is a nomadic tribe, never really staking claim in one particular spot, but preferring to move around to stay well protected in the wild North. Their philosophy is to overwhelm nature before it can overwhelm you. This is how House Ursal got it's name, for it's reputation of hunting and killing all kinds of bears. They care foremost about their own survival, because they are a smaller house, and as such are not particularly interested in making enemies of other houses, but rather establish trade in order to prosper better. However, if the Ursals feel threatened, they are known to be savage warriors, going in to war much like they would any hunt for bears or other big game. Although they roam all around the North, they seem to hover around the Isle of Ursa as a hub or headquarters, though nobody knows the exact location of any sort of official house structure.


House Members: Byrus Ursal (Father, head of house): The most diplomatic member of House Ursal, he approaches leading the house with it's survival and prosperity at the foremost of his mind. He never rushes in to a grudge against another house, because that would mean a potential trade partner is lost. 

Tyrus Ursal (father's brother): As the second under his elder brother, Tyrus is a little more loose in his approach. While his brother would avoid tempting another house, Tyrus may say something a little uncouth. As such, he's kept far away from diplomacy matters, burying his time and efforts more in leading the hunt.

Byron Ursal: (Son): Byron is a young teenager attempting to find his way before taking over heading the house when is father retires or dies. He is often seen accompanying his dad to see first had what it's like to have such heavy responsibility. He admires his dad's will to do whatever it takes for his country, but secretly wishes he'd present a more intimidating image when it comes to politics. 

There are a few more members, but due to their secret wayfaring tendancies, they have rarely been seen and never been named by anybody outside of the house.

I have something similar to this that I'm waiting to use again post-my writing days in EAW.

House Name: House Stagborn

House Sigil: Burning Heart Stag
Seat of Power: Storm's End

Words: (Only) Chaos Reigns

House Description: A house that has the blood of the original Storm Kings running through their veins, one could speculate that this house is filled with entitlement and self-righteousness. A house that originally started as a bastard cadet dynasty to the original Storm Kings, no remains as the last bloodline of its historic family, no longer bearing the original last name. But the sigil of a stag still lives on. As current lords of Storm's End - this family is rich in not only power, but gold. Garnering a reputation as having the greatest navy in the Eastern Front (Greyjoys have Western) of Westeros, one could argue that King's Landing has no greater ally than House Stagborn. One of the few houses in the "south" that follow the Old Gods Faith - having grown a weirwood tree in their backyard. 

House Members:

Lord of Storm's End: Ulfric Stagborn (Myself -- Character comparison: Young Robert Baratheon)

Lady of Storm's End: Jaden Stagborn (Watt) -- (Character comparison: Margaery Tyrell)

Heir of Storm's End: Cole Stagborn (Age of 8; Character Comparison: Brandon Stark)

Other House Members:

Master at Arms Jerraco Stagborn (Ulfric's younger brother by 2 years: Character Comparison: Oberyn Martell)

Master of Laws Martyn Stagborn (Ulfric's younger brother by 4 years: Character Comparison - Renly Baratheon but instead of gay he's more Tyrion-like who likes to whore himself around)

Master of Ships Jared Watt (Jaden's twin brother, 2nd eldest Watt brother making him the 2nd in line for the Lordship of Tarth -- Watt/Stagborn have a GREAT alliance, squired underneath Ulfric. ) (Character Comparison: Loras Tyrell)

Avril Stagborn (Crimson): Jerraco's wife 

Rickard Stagborn: Jerraco's 4 year old son

Rose Stagborn: Jerraco's 1 year old daughter

Overview: House Stagborn has no shortage of male heirs, with 5 living males in the family. Ulfric's love marriage with Jaden sealed the alliance with House Watt, ensuring the power and allegiance of the Stormlands is secured. Jerraco married a woman from a powerful house in the Crownlands, by marrying into House Crimson. Ulfric will try to find a marriage for Martyn, but not unless it helps garner a powerful alliance with another major house.

That's one badass sigil

I'm very impressed with some of these Houses.  Especially the badass Words some of you came up with.  I'm gonna add some more detail to my House Members.  If I need to add anything else (more people, more details, etc.) please let me know.
 
Aramil Serp:  Lord Aramil of Skyreach is the image of nobility and courtesy.  Always polite, saying the right words to the right people, the majority of the realm consider him to be a gracious and kind lord.  But this is only the face he portrays in public.  Privately, his family and allies know a much different man.  He takes great pleasure in the suffering of his enemies, and often times likes to torture them himself.  Like a Dornish, he has a vast knowledge of poisons, and uses them to great effect.  He schemes quietly from the shadows, never truly trusting anyone (not even his family and friends) fully.  And he will not hesitate to turn on anyone who he believes has betrayed him, often times doing everything he can to bring them down for their slight.  He wields the family sword, which bares the name "Viper's Kiss."
 
Caldura Serp:  If Lord Aramil is vindictive, his lady wife Caldura is even more so.  Originally coming from a smaller Lord's house in Dorne, her family has risen high due to her marriage, and she will do ANYTHING to ensure both her families continue to rise even higher.  It is said that she is the primary ambition behind House Serp, while Lord Aramil is the primary force of action behind them, making them a deadly union.  While outwardly cold, even to her children, she seems to open up only to Lord Aramil, whom she loves devoutly, and he loves her equally so.  
 
Dorin Serp:  Always a little bitter at being the younger brother and thus not the heir to Skyreach, Dorin has had a rocky relationship with his brother Aramil.  Although he does his duty, they've had periods of being very close and of not speaking to each other.  Despite all this, Dorin is Aramil's chief confidant.  Dorin has sought to make up for his birth in several ways.  Usually this means whoring and drinking, but he's also tried being a Maester, considering joining the Night's Watch, tried being a builder, a knight, as well as other things.  His man goal is to somehow step out of the shadow of his brother and be distinguished for something of his own. 
 
Gwendoline Serp:  Gwendoline Serp is believed to be the most beautiful maid in Dorne, if not the Seven Kingdoms.  Yet despite constantly having a line of suitors, she seems to show little to no interest in all of them.  This, however, has made her no stranger to passion.  She spends most of her love on the Pleasure Houses in Dorne, where it is said that she prefers the company of other women, but this is only a rumor.  The smallfolks say that there isn't a Pleasure House in Dorne she has not visited, and that many enjoy her patronage.  She vows she will be a slave to no man, although her older brother still intends to use her marriage for political gain.  Even though she is the youngest of the Serp Lords, she is equally gifted in the ways of fighting, although she is sneakier and more cunning than either of her brothers, not afraid to use her womanly charms.  
 
Benedict Serp:  Easily the most level headed of his family, "Ben" is not stranger to the violence and revenge his House is known for, but he usually prefers to seek other methods of resolution first.  As such, he usually acts as the primary diplomat of the family.  He is also easily the most likable of the Serps to others outside of Dorne and Skyreach, next to his father of course.  Because of his attitude, he is sometimes mocked by the other members of his family.  He is also said to be the finest Spearman in all of the Seven Kingdoms, and leads to host of Serp's banners into battle.    
 
Pretariah Serp:  Born unusually frail, Pretariah has always been weak and easily gets sick or injured.  So he is clearly no warrior for his House.  But that does not make him useless, as many Lords might think.  He instead uses his brain as his primary weapon, and is constantly studying everything he can.  Many believe him to one hope to become a Maester, but he has denied any such desire.  In Dorne, he is called “The Shadow Snake” because nobody truly knows what his goals or intentions are, as he has been known to support all manner of plot or scheme, and denounce just as many.
 
Kristopher Serp:  Kristopher is the bastard son of Lord Aramil.  But Lord Serp has long had a policy that all of his seed, including his bastards, are in line to his seat.  So upon his birth, Kristopher took the name Serp instead of Sand.  This has made him not well liked in the Seven Kingdoms, where bastards are frowned upon.  But amongst his family and fellow Dornish, he is treated with equal respect as the others in his family.  But Kristopher is a very paranoid youth, constantly believing himself to being the subject of jokes and whispered rumors due to his birth.  So he is very quick to make rash decisions in an effort to proof himself.  Due to this similarity in their upbringing and personalities, Dorin and Kristopher has become very close.
 
Shana Serp:  Shana is the odd duck of the family.  Despite her family history and her place of birth, Shana’s demeanor and attitude are much more in line with the Ladies of The Reach rather than Dorne.  Many Lords joke perhaps Shana is a bastard of some Reach Lord, but never to any Serp’s face.  Because Shana is most beloved amongst the Serp family.  Her Lord father showers her in affection and her brothers are very protective of her.  But it is whispered and believed that Lord Aramil intends to use his daughter’s Reach mannerisms to try and secure her marriage to a Reach Lord and extend his power further north of his castle.   
 
Aidin Serp:  Aidin has always been ashamed of his father Dorin, who he believes should have proper respect for their House and not go out whoring and drinking.  The two are constantly butting heads, as Dorin says his son lacks proper Dornish pride.  Aidin squires to his cousin Benedict, and it is believed that “Ben” has strongly influenced his young cousin’s views about his father. 

Minella Serp:  The youngest of all the Serp Lords and Ladies, it probably makes it more frightening that she is the most bloodthirsty.  Having read up on Dorne history as well as her family’s, she takes great pride in what they do, and has taken well to their words and ways.  However, still being very young, she has not yet learned to refine her need for violence, death, and revenge.  Her actions often reflect that in her needless fights with other young children, which often comes to unnecessarily bloody ends.  Her family has tried to teach her, but now she is quite obstinate and believes herself to be the most “Serp” and “Dornish” of her family.  She tries to insert her own schemes into those of her family, but is often ignored. 
    
 

Also, as a side note, I’m noticing nobody has taken seats yet in the Western or in the Mountain lands.

These houses are pretty awesome. This is way better and more detailed than what I was expecting. There are a lot of fun possibilities here and we definitely have enough for me to write the first episode soon, probably sometime after Grand Rampage. 

Anyone else who wants to join is definitely welcome at any time. The far North, the Vale, the Westerlands, and eastern Essos are probably the major regions that haven't been used yet.

For the people who have already signed up, start thinking about who your house would like to support. Whichever house has the most support will be politically the most powerful house and will become the first King taking control of King's Landing. 

You can declare support for as many houses as you want, but they do not have to support you just because you supported them. You can also withdraw your support at anytime, but you must also post that making it public for all other houses to see. The idea is that your characters may not take kindly to another house refusing them or supporting another potential king, so be careful who you choose to support or not support as it may have consequences.

Can we try an forge alliances secretly through PMs, or does everything have to be done publicly in the thread?

House Serp would OFFICIALLY like to declare it's support of House Steele!

This alliance has been brokered and sealed with a marriage pact between Shana Serp and Brayden Steele.
