Create-a-House

edited July 2015 in Game Of Thrones

The topic is pretty straightforward. You are in Westeros or Essos and have the ability to start a House, vassal or not it's your choice.

Which of the two continents are you from?

Which area do you start in?

Are you a vassal or a freehold?

What is your land like? i.e. Forested, swampy, mountainous, etc.

Family?

What is your hold like? i.e. A keep, a few towers, ruins with a few lean-to's, etc.

What is your hold good for? i.e. Farming wheat/barley/corn, mining gold/silver/steel, weapons, etc.

Sigil?

Your strength in arms? i.e. Small garrison, a good handful of men, some knights, etc.

Do you have vassals?

Feel free to add pictures to give a better visual. This is just a fun thread to be creative on.

  • House Northwood

    Alt text

    Once just a mere sellsword, now Lord John Northwood, the Lord of House Northwood, a sworn bannerman of the Forrester Family.

    Alt text

    He is feared among the Whitehill Soldiers and known as "The Deadeye" because of his deadly accuracy with his Ironwood Bow. He also has many more nicknames given to him by his enemies, followers, singers in taverns etc. such as "The One Man Army" because of his kill count, "The Shadow" because of his stealth skill, "The Quick Death" because of his fast speed... His primary weapons are his ironwood bow called "Heart Taker", his Valyrian Steel sword "North Wolf", given to him by a mysterious knight and a golden dager he adopted from Lewis Black, aka "The Smasher", a Commander of a small army of Lannister soldiers who attacked him in a tavern after he beat up their man Ron Wellton who insulted John. John also took Ron's girl he was having a fun time with, Lily, who later prefered John as lover rather than any other man. He killed Ron, Don Red, One-Arm Nigel, Jaiden, Kraff, Lowell, Tyrrold, Reed and 5 other Lannister Soldiers. The Battle beetwen John and Lewis was one of the most spectacular fights in the Northern slums and backalleys which gave John the respect and fear from many people, aswell as his nickname "The One Man Army". He eventually stopped his ways of fighting in taverns and drinking when he was called to join Gregor and Rodrik Forrester to join up with Robb Stark, The King in the North...

  • I would be House Metallica, my houses words will be, "We'll never stop, we'll never quit, because we're Metallica." The Lord of my house would be Lord James "Papa" Hetfield, Master of Arms Kirk "The Ripper" Hammett, Castellan Lars Ulrich, and Maester Robert Trujillo. Located in an unknown area of Westeros called San Rafael, House Metallica rose to power with several other great houses around the same time period, including House Slayer, House Anthrax, and the the house's greatest enemy, House Megadeth, founded by the traitorous Dave Mustaine. My army, named the Metal Militia, is an unstoppable force that will crush any enemy that even thinks about messing with us. This is our seal:

    Westeros

    House Nightmare, our words are "Soaring above all."

    Crownlands

    Vassal of House Baratheon of Dragonstone

    Rocky island in Blackwater Bay, similar to Dragonstone

    Family is a small group of Merchants who became nobles through wealth, our head is Lord Steffon

    Dragonfyre Castle is the name of the keep, it is moderately small and presides over a dock where the naval defenses and merchants are stationed.

    The House is known for its diplomacy and merchant skills, because of this the house is well supplied with food and weapons witch earned the nickname "Island of Merchants."

    The sigil is a Gold Dragon flying on a Purple Field

    Are strength is almost completely compromised by ships and their crews in our defense. On land is a small garrison which defends Dragonfyre.
    In war our main land forces are mostly mercenaries while our navy is used to defend our island and attack nearby enemy shores.

    We have no vassals.

    House Darwin of the Vale

    Vassal of House Arryn

    Located in a mountainous region with lots of flora. Kinda like this:
    Alt text

    Unique in that there is no main hold. Instead, there is a collection of three smaller keeps called The Children that are spread across the region. These include The Elder, The Middle, and The Younger, each led by a member of House Darwin. Major decisions regarding the house are determined by a majority vote among the three leaders of The Children.

    The main source of economy would come from exporting materials from the rare plants and animals that are endemic to that region.

    Its house words would be "Life finds a way." The house sigil would probably look something like this:
    Alt text.

    It would have a fairly large army for a house of its size, as the family itself would be pretty large. However, since it doesn't involve itself in any major conflicts, it manages to stay fairly peaceful except for occasional skirmishes with the mountain clans.
