The Red & The Black
Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2017 2:19 amBut as the people of Westeros come together to celebrate a young girl’s coming of age, other sinister agents take the chance to come together and prepare for the future.
Thirteen years ago, the Blackfyre Rebellion tore Westeros in two. Although far from the first civil war to come from the ruling Targaryen line, the Blackfyre Rebellion stemmed from the legitimized bastard Daemon Blackfyre pressing his claim on the Iron Throne. Although in the end the war ground to an end with the death of Daemon and his two eldest sons, one of the Blackfyre’s generals – another Targaryen bastard by the name of Aegor Rivers – helped Daemon’s widow and remaining children escape across the Narrow Sea to Tyrosh. The eldest of those sons, Daemon II Blackfyre, now stands old enough to inherit the full responsibilities of his family… and he and Aegor Rivers eagerly watch the events unfolding in Westeros…
The presence of several high placed members of the Targaryen family – including the first, second, third, and fourth in line for throne – has drawn the attention of agents who would much rather see the throne turned over to what they believe is the true line, the Blackfyres.
During the duration of the tournament, some events will have the ability to shift the balance either towards the Red Dragons – the currently reigning Targaryens on the Iron Throne – or the Black Dragons – the Blackfyres exiled to Tyrosh. On the last day of each session, a special event will be run depending on where the balance between the two sits; if the balance is shifted towards the Black Dragons, for example, the event on the final day of a session may involve a serious threat to the life of a visiting Targaryen.
At the conclusion of each session, the balance is reset for the next series of events.
