>>6028554>>6028566>>6028569>>6028663>>6028665You belong to House Magnar of Kingshouse, a noble house from the island of Skagos in the North. Your banner displays a green lobster on a white field, its claws gripping a black harpoon. The name Magnar, rooted in the Old Tongue, signifies "lord."In theory, your island is part of the north and subject to House Stark of Winterfell. However, Skagos has little contact with mainland Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms, and in practice, you rule yourselves. The island's name means "stone" in the Old Tongue.Northmen believe you ride shaggy unicorns, perform human sacrifices to weirwoods, lure passing ships to destruction with false lights, and engage in cannibalism during winter. Are the stories true?>It’s true, all of it.>Some of it is true, but much is exaggerated.>Those are just tales to scare off outsiders.>Actually, it's worse. Much worse.>Write In

>>6028667>It’s true, all of it.
>>6028672>>6028675>>6028687The tales about you are true, all of them. The people of Skagos are known as Skagosi or Skagossons to outsiders, but you call yourselves stoneborn, as Skagos means "stone" in the Old Tongue. The unicorns, or horses with a single horn, are native to your island, and the lords of the stoneborn clans often ride them.Clans frequently war against each other, and your people often perform human sacrifices to weirwoods, lure passing ships to destruction with false lights, and engage in cannibalism during winter. In ancient days, men of Skagos sailed to nearby islands, seizing all the women, killing all the men, and feasting on their flesh for a fortnight. Long ago, your people even raided the mainland until Brandon IX Stark, King in the North, broke your power, destroyed your ships, and forbade you from the sea.What is it that you desire now?>Remain in complete isolation. Let the Starks kill the Boltons, and the Lannisters kill the Baratheons. You care not who rules Winterfell or sits on the Iron Throne. Skagos has always stayed out of it and always will.>Reform your ways. Skagos has been isolated for too long. You wish to increase trade and exchange information with outsiders, bringing Skagos into the modern age.>Bide your time. The Starks and Boltons will eventually weaken. When they do, the stoneborn will resume their raids, killing the men, feasting on their flesh, and claiming the women for breeding, just like in the old days.>Establish a new order.

Your goal is to unite the clans under a single, strong leader to create a more cohesive and powerful Skagos.Currently, Skagos has three noble houses: House Magnar of Kingshouse, House Crowl of Deepdown, and House Stane of Driftwood Hall. These houses often find themselves in conflict. Your plan is to conquer the other houses, bringing all of Skagos under your banner.Once the Skagosi unification is complete, you will look to conquer nearby lands and islands, extending Skagos's influence.However, you have no interest in the lands beyond that. Let the Starks kill the Boltons, and the Lannisters kill the Baratheons. You care not who rules Winterfell or sits on the Iron Throne. Skagos has always stayed out of the larger wars and always will.

>>6029000>>6029001>>6029003>>6029007>>6029010Your father is a ruthless and sadistic man, deriving pleasure from cruelty and bloodshed. He often beat you bloody in the name of 'discipline' when you were a child, and you still bear those scars. He is also a ruthless raider. In his youth, he once raided another settlement, raping and carrying off the women, killing all the men, and feasting on their flesh for a fortnight, even when there was plenty of other meat available.His cruelties do not end there. He continues the practice of the first night with the smallfolk, a custom begun by the First Men of the Dawn Age, who only followed strength and virility. It was considered a blessing for a highborn lord to bestow his seed upon a lowborn bride on her wedding night, and if a child came of such a coupling, the husband had the honor of raising his lord's offspring. While this practice has more or less ceased in the rest of Westeros, your father still insists on it, if the bride is comely. His perverse actions have made him many enemies, even among your clan. No one would particularly miss him if he were gone.>You plan to arrange for him to die in a unicorn riding accident.>You plan to have his ale poisoned by one of his mistresses.>You plan to trap him in a burning building, aided by a servant whose bride he 'honored' on their wedding night.>Write In

"He says I should feel honored my wife's belly is heavy with his bastard," Hakon mutters when you get him drunk one evening. You plant the idea in his head, saying, "If a man did that to me, I would burn him alive." Then, you wait, knowing Hakon will do what you need done.>Roll D100, DC: 75

If your father suspects you had anything to do with the assassination, he keeps his thoughts to himself. However, he insists that you join him and his men on a hunting trip the very next day. "We leave at dawn," he declares with a steely gaze that tells you more than words ever could.>You flee Kingshouse under the cover of night, leaving Skagos to escape your father's wrath.>You reluctantly join your father on the hunt in the morning, no matter the dangers it may bring.>You plot another assassination attempt, convincing one of his mistresses to poison his ale tonight.>You plan to sneak into his room at night and personally slit his throat.>Write In

However, when you sneak into his room that night, knife in hand, you find him already awake, his sword gleaming in the dim light.

The two of you grapple, his strength formidable, but desperation fuels your resolve. You twist and turn, managing to evade his sword, and finally, with a surge of adrenaline, you drive your knife into his throat. His eyes widen in shock and rage, blood bubbling from his mouth as he chokes out a curse. With his last breath, he damns you to the deepest hells, but it doesn’t matter.

"Those damned Stanes will suffer!" you shout, your voice echoing through the halls. If anyone bothered to look into the murder, they would know it wasn't the Stanes, but an inside job. However, when a man as hated as Cotter Magnar dies, few people bother to investigate who killed him.You seize the opportunity to take your father's title, becoming known henceforth as Lord Hardrada Magnar, Lord of Kingshouse. The weight of leadership settles on your shoulders, and you feel a sense of triumph. You have achieved your ambition, and now, with your father's shadow gone, you can begin to shape Skagos according to your vision.>You prepare your forces for an impending war against House Stane.>You send a letter to House Crowl, proposing an alliance to divide the lands of House Stane between you.>You write to House Stark, demanding justice for your beloved father's unjust murder and seeking their support in your war against House Stane.>You celebrate your newfound power and lordship with a feast of alcohol and unclothed women.>Write In

Your words are carefully chosen, emphasizing mutual benefit and the promise of shared power. Of course, you fully expect the Crowls with their ply flame and black banners to turn against you once House Stane is defeated, but the truth is, you are planning to turn on them as well. First, you need to get rid of the Stanes, and you would rather do it by sacrificing mostly Crowl soldiers instead of your own Magnar warriors. You craft the letter with a steady hand, sealing it with your family’s crest, and dispatch it with your fastest rider.>Roll D100, DC: 60

You nod as you read the message, already planning how to maneuver the Crowls into attacking first. Let them suffer the brunt of the casualties; your own forces will sweep in and conquer with minimal losses.As you finish reading, another arrival catches your attention.

The stoneborn cares little for such invitations, preferring to remain isolated on your island. You decide to send a messenger, offering your condolences to Lord Stark for the loss of his foster father, Jon Arryn. You add that, for a time, you will be grieving your own father and unable to respond to any summons he may send.In truth, you have no interest in Winterfell or the Iron Throne, and would rather not bother yourself with them while you are preparing for war on Skagos. Your focus at the moment is convincing House Crowl to attack Driftwood Hall first.>Tell Lord Crowl he should attack Driftwood Hall, assuring him that you are right behind him with reinforcements.>Tell Lord Crowl that his life is in danger, claiming House Stane hired a Faceless Man from Braavos to kill your father, and that he will be the next victim unless Driftwood Hall falls.>Disguise yourself as a member of House Stane, then approach a cutthroat, claiming that House Stane wants Lord Crowl dead, so when the cutthroat is captured and tortured, he implicates the wrong house.>Bribe a trusted advisor of Lord Crowl to convince him that attacking Driftwood Hall is the best course of action.>Write In

"Lord Crowl must die," you say, masking your voice and offering him a pouch of silver. The thug agrees, swayed by the promise of coin and the alleged simplicity of the task.Your plan is set in motion. The cutthroat, reeking of ale and desperation, waits for his moment. Under the cover of night, he slips into Deepdown, aiming to fulfill the contract.The next morning, chaos erupts. The cutthroat's attempt is clumsy and loud, but it is enough to stir suspicion and panic. Lord Crowl survives the attempt, his guards capturing the would-be assassin before he can escape. The thug, under torture, spills the name of House Stane, just as you had hoped.In the confusion and anger that follows, you watch from the shadows, satisfaction curling at the corners of your mouth. The seeds of discord are sown, and you are now another step closer to your ambition of establishing a new order in Skagos. The Crowls, believing the threat to be real, begin preparations for war against House Stane in all haste.Meanwhile, you retreat to Kingshouse, preparing your forces for the aftermath of the all-out war between the Crowls and the Stanes.

As you move through the carnage, you come across Lord Crowl's son and heir, the only male heir left in his line. He is clutching his wounds, defiance still burning in his eyes.

Without another word, you stab him in the heart, finishing the job, and tell your men that the heir of House Crowl was already dead when you found him.The battlefield falls silent, save for the groans of the dying. Your men begin to gather, waiting for your next command. You stand tall, surveying the scene. The Crowls and Stanes are no more, their power shattered, their lines extinguished."Clear the field," you command. "We return to Kingshouse." As your men carry out your orders, you feel a sense of grim satisfaction. With House Crowl and House Stane extinguished, House Magnar is now the only power in Skagos. You have successfully completed your objective of establishing a new order. The stoneborn clans are now united under a single, strong leader, creating a more cohesive and powerful Skagos.All of Skagos is now under your banner.
