War Threads

War Threads are, first and foremost, threads that include the epic battles and wars that take place in Westeros. Due to the sheer scale of these threads and the amount of Player Characters and Non-Player Characters that will be included, there has to be some explanation and a few guidelines.

Firstly, each Lord of the Great Houses has received a personal message with the default numbers of their armies. We've given an estimate of the canonical number of armed forces each House has, but they will be a secret to every other person in the roleplay unless the Lord of a House chooses to disclose the information. The reason for this is so that we can increase the need to forge alliances between the Houses and keep it more realistic.

Secondly, it is also important to list how many soldiers you will be utilising in a specific battle, and the equipment at the beginning of each War Thread. How many boats and how many soldiers are you using for that battle?

Thirdly, if your character fits into the 'Others' member group and has the correct criteria (i.e. is a Highborn character and not a sellsword), you may swear fealty to one of the Great Houses and be granted your own stronghold. This automatically gives you a 5,000 strong army as a Custom House, but you must fill out the custom House application which you will find here.

Lastly, when included in a battle thread, you may only post once, listing the actions and strategies of your army in that battle. Every House/Army that is included in that battle has one post, where they will list their soldiers and equipment, as well as their first attack. After everyone has had their first post, the administrator team will write up a summary of the first attack and an outcome. Each member of the battle will then post again, once, basing their next move on the summary of the first attacks. It will carry on as such; each House/Army getting one post a turn before an administrator writes up a summary of each move.

For Example:
First Move
House Baratheon - Lists their army for the battle, as well as their first move. What troops go where, what equipment is used, and what strategies.
House Lannister - Lists their army for the battle, as well as their first move. What troops go where, what equipment is used, and what strategies.
House Stark - Lists their army for the battle, as well as their first move. What troops go where, what equipment is used, and what strategies.
Administrator - Writes up the outcome and a summary of all the first attacks, basing it on what is more likely to be effective. They will also list the casualties and injuries.
Second Move
All houses post their second move.
Administrator writes the outcome and summary.

Please note: House Armies will either increase or decrease depending on the outcomes of battles that they are involved in. These battles will be moderated by an Administrator/Storyteller who will determine which attacks are legit and which attacks fail.
