>>5876456Welcome to the first thread for “A Century of Blood”, a re-done of a quest I mastered two years ago on 4chan.
The quest shall be set at the beginning of the historical period in the ASOIAF universe that gives the name to this quest. I expect the time period this quest is set in to be unfamiliar to many, so do not be surprised if you are unfamiliar with some of the characters. I will follow the canon insofar as possible, but given the many empty spots left by GRRM, do not be surprised if you see characters that do not appear in any of his works.
>Why this specific period?Because no other ASOIAF quest has ever been set in this period save my old one.
It’s a period where one can still find dragons, magic has yet to completely wane, yet the basis for the modern world have already been set – the Targaryen are in Dragonstone, the Dothraki are mobilizing, the clock is ticking for the Patrimony of Kyrkoon and the third Azure Emperor rules the Golden Empire of Yi Ti.
>Where in the setting are going to play?This quest shall initially be set in Essos, the land most affected by the Doom.
How far East or West...or if even in Essos at all by the end of it, that’s up to you, the players.
This first thread will essentially be dedicated to creating our character and decide where in this broken world we reside. Note that while I will let you have almost complete control over the quest progress, I will reserve the right to ask for a re-vote, or to simply say “No” if a choice would completely destroy the narrative (e.g. playing as Aurion, wannabe “Emperor of Valyria” and dragonlord).
>Shall we meet again the characters from the old quest?For the likely few players that remember the old quest – you shall meet them if they were canon characters, such as the Triarchs of Volantis, but otherwise, except if you actively try and re-create the old questline, I doubt you’ll interact with the Valyrian survivors.
