Background ( Big text) Thanks to Murazor.
The story takes place majorly in the continent of Westeros, a large, South America–sized continent, with a history stretching back some twelve thousand years and where each of the seasons can last for years. The original inhabitants of the land were the Children of The Forest (whose old gods are still worshipped in the North), a diminutive race who lived in harmony with nature and employed powerful magic. The First Men, a civilization of primitive warriors wielding bronze weapons and riding horses, crossed over from Essos, the eastern continent, via a land bridge (destroyed in the resulting conflicts) and fought a series of wars against the Children, which ended with the Pact of the Isle of Faces, with the First Men taking control of the open lands and the Children remaining in the forests.
The Pact was weakened after four thousand years by the emergence of the Others, an enigmatic race from the furthermost north, who swept south into Westeros and caused great death and destruction, bringing about a night that lasted a generation and a winter that lasted decades. In the War for the Dawn, the Others were thrown back by the First Men and the Children of The Forest, and a vast wall of ice was raised from one coast of Northern Westeros to the other to bar their passage south should they come again. In the following centuries the Children gradually disappeared, and it was presumed that they left Westeros or became extinct.
Approximately two thousand years after the War for the Dawn, the Andals crossed the Narrow Sea from the eastern continent. The Andals wielded iron weapons, had tamed horses to use in battle and brought with them the Faith of the Seven. They landed in the Vale of Arryn and over the course of several millennia subjugated the southern kingdoms. However, they could not take the North due to its natural defenses. Over time six great and powerful kingdoms were forged across Westeros: the Kingdom of the North, the Kingdom of the Iron Islands, the Kingdom of Vale and Sky, the Kingdom of the Rock, the Kingdom of the Storm Kings and the Kingdom of the Reach. A seventh kingdom—that of the Riverlands—was repeatedly conquered by its neighbors and eventually destroyed altogether, while the small desert kingdoms in the far south of Westeros were divided by constant war. One thousand years prior to the events of the novels, a great host of refugees from the region of the River Rhoyne on the eastern continent—displaced by the growing power of a distant empire called Valyria—crossed the Narrow Sea under the warrior-queen Nymeria and landed in the southern-most part of Westeros. The Rhoynar allied with the native Lord Mors Martell and conquered the southern peninsula of Dorne, forging another powerful kingdom by that name.
Five centuries later, the expanding Valyrian Freehold had reached the east coast of the Narrow Sea and established links with Westeros, using the island of Dragonstone as a trading port. However, a century later the Valyrian Freehold was destroyed by a titanic disaster known as the Doom. The Valyrian family that controlled Dragonstone, the Targaryens, spent a further century in preparing their forces, and then launched a devastating invasion of Westeros under Aegon the Conqueror. Although their forces were small, they had with them the last three dragons in the western world and they were able to use these to overtake the continent. Six of the Seven Kingdoms were conquered in this initial war, but Dorne resisted so fiercely that Aegon agreed to let them remain independent. The Targaryens adopted the native Faith of the Seven (although they still married brother to sister in the ancient Valyrian tradition in defiance of the Faith's teachings) and Westerosi customs, and within a few decades had crushed all resistance to their rule. Dorne was eventually absorbed through marriage-alliance. The last dragons died out a century and a half into the Targaryen rule, but by this time they had become the ruling power on the continent and their rule was not challenged.
Fifteen years before the events in Game of Thrones, the Targaryens were displaced from power in a civil war brought about by the insanity and cruelty of King Aerys II (called "the Mad King"). Lyanna Stark, daughter of Lord Rickard Stark of the North and fiancee of Robert Baratheon, heir to the Storm Kingdom, disappeared with Aerys's son Prince Rhaegar. The Starks and Baratheons treated her disappearance as an abduction, and Lord Rickard's eldest son Brandon went to King's Landing with a band of young knights to demand single combat with Rhaegar. Aerys had them arrested and ordered their fathers to come to King's Landing to answer for them. When Lord Rickard arrived, Aerys had him burned alive and had Brandon strangled. An alliance of houses under the leadership of Robert Baratheon, Jon Arryn, and Eddard Stark successfully destroyed the Targaryen armies at the Trident. However, Tywin Lannister who had remained neutral until then went on to sack King's Landing and kill King Aerys's heirs and wipe out all of the line, aside from Aerys's pregnant wife and his eight-year-old son Viserys, who fled to Dragonstone. King Aerys himself was killed by Jaime Lannister, his own bodyguard, who since then has been nicknamed the Kingslayer. Aerys's wife died giving birth to Daenerys Targaryen, who was taken to safety in the Free Cities beyond the Narrow Sea along with her brother by loyal retainers. In the meantime, Robert Baratheon took the Iron Throne and married Cersei Lannister to secure the Lannisters as allies.
Recent Events
The story begins with Lord Eddard Stark in Winterfell, ancestral home of House Stark, a noble house of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and rulers of the North. Ned executes a deserter of the Night's Watch, with his sons among the witnesses. On the return to Winterfell, Eddard's sons discover six direwolf pups, which are entrusted to Eddard's six children. The direwolf is the sigil of House Stark and is integral to the Stark family. King Robert Baratheon visits Eddard at Winterfell, with the Queen and Court. Because he trusts him, King Robert asks Eddard to become the Hand of the King. Eddard agrees, against his instincts, and at the same time promises his wife, Lady Catelyn Stark to investigate the death of the previous Hand, Lord Jon Arryn, who may have been the victim of political intrigue involving king's court members and powerful household.
Before the Starks leave for King's Landing in the South, Eddard's young son Bran Stark is gravely injured when he falls from a tower in Winterfall. Bran survives but remains in a coma and becomes a paraplegic, causing him to stay behind. During his recuperation, an assassin attempts to murder Bran, but his direwolf saves his life as well as his mother's. Catelyn realizes her husband faces danger in King's Landing, so she travels there by ship to warn him, leaving the eldest son Robb Stark to rule as the Lord of Winterfell.

LEVEL 2 ROLEPLAY. ( Light roleplay and RP fighting )
You will play a "light" roleplay character. That mean this roles isn't essential to the plot, still you can make your part.
To join the level 2, you have to either make an application or join on the spot but you will be asked to prove that you are able to roleplay.
Knights and followers of factions are highly likely to require an application especially if they are close to B.R characters.
You have to option. Play as knight or others.
Knights :
You are knight from a noble (or so called "noble" ) house. You are likely to be from one of the numerous vassals of the great houses.
You can either take an existing knight from the book. Like Ser Gregor Clegane "the mountain" or you can create your own background based on any house. Big or small.
Note : If you join a big house you are a " followers".
Knights can have a part on the courtly roleplay if they wish. Remember you have to face the consequences of your act.
Knight list :
Babur Dayne- Kenski1
Others :
Skirley.
You can mostly play what you want. A bar tender, a whore, a spy ect ... You may want to supply a background but you don't have too.
Remember : Non-Registered people who want to get into this level need to prove to the admin they are able to roleplay while on the selection island.
The test may be to ask you to present yourself and your history.
If you pass. You may enter as a "civilian". if you fail you will be left to the level 3.
LEVEL 3 ROLEPLAY. ( Military Drill and fighting )
As a fews experiences of past events prove. We can't enforce RP to people who barely know how to talk english. To keep him open and to follow the current politics of "You are welcome as long as you obey rules and orders " i plan to set up a military field to allow non-RP people to fight, train and learn to obey orders to make good soldiers for the next battle of the event.
No registration is required and "random" people who fail the RP test will go there.
- We will get military instructors Admins who will be able to equip and prepare the players.
- The training will be a little of combat pratice 1 on 1, but mainly focus on group fighting in shieldwall, formation, walk orders, and obeidiance.
- The players are "locked" into the military ground. They can't leave if the instructor don't open the door.
- Spectators and household members can come to spectate and see if there is good recruit to bring them into their rank for Futur event. We will not have fielded army during this event.
- Randomers and people who don't get into the line will be ban from the event.
The aim is to form around half of the server who can't roleplay to at least follow orders and behave like soldiers.
Later in the campaign, they will be used by factions to fight in formation and get good looking fighting rather than the usually "ZERGRUSH"

I still seeking :
2 X Mappers and scene maker for : military campaign map for Game of Throne and special places like the Twin.
2X Drill Sergeant : Will be issued with admin rights to make the level 3 drill. Clan or M&M regimental experience would be better. You have to get a clean RP record on our server.
Banner pack modifier : I need someone to change the banner pack ingame. it's extremely important.
We will not follow the story line of the books. Most of the move will be done by players. Don't need to read all again.
Winter is coming people. And everyone will get involved, no matter their RP level.
