an unsettling air falls upon all of those in wintefell after the joust, so many unsure of whether they should leave or stay. the new king invites all to stay, feast, and remain warm with the approaching winter storms. hushed whispers all but scream questions of the fate of ser lynderly.
the arrival of ser domeric lynderly from the wall does nothing to silence these whispers, rumors circulating like a wildfire unstoppable in the northern frosts.
but those frigid airs only grew stronger.
the winter storm grew, and grew, and grew, despite not being expected for weeks later. snow descends upon winterfell in true northern fashion, winter is here early indeed. within days the roads become impossible to travel, and a sad realization is the first thing to silence those incessant whispers of the joust.
nobody is going home anytime soon.
you are free to work this in as you wish, either in new threads or over the days the snow grows. basically, work it in however works best for you/your characters bc this is meant to be what binds everyone to one location for the rp, not something major that would require a change in current threads. eventually you will have to involve this in all threads, but by no means does anyone have to force it in to what they have going now. i hope this makes sense, if not ask away ! a follow up for our jouster’s fate will come eventually after some more demon plotting. happy writing !!!
also as it is december (almost) and i know this is a heavy time for many a folk, the same sort of rules apply for activity. try to post at least twice every seven days, but if at all be sure you are posting something in seven days, and not always to the same thread(s). for new characters, though, you have to be past that threshold with at least 3-4 active threads per character / not recently on activity check. if you do end up on activity check and need more time to make your posts, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the main ! this rp isn’t in the business of kicking people who want to be here, but we also can’t just have people holding roles upon roles + fcs and just not posting on them, or favoring things like ships when this is a group rp not an indie rp.
over all try to be as active as you can, message when you can’t, and try to make sure you aren’t ignoring the common curtesy rules in a rp (posting to more than the same few people, plotting with new members, clearly favoring characters/threads) so everyone here feels welcome even in this busy season !
and happy holidays to you all, i’m thankful for each and every single one of you <3

it was unusual to have so many strangers about winterfell ; she was not used to seeing it quite so crowded with people of all walks. generally, it was easy enough to spot a southerner, of course, bundled in layers of furs against the cold. given her recent visit south, she could understand the shock of the adjustment, but wondered how their many guests would fare if winter came in full force. making her way through the familiar halls of her family’s seat, she paused at the sight of someone glancing around in what seemed to be confusion. ‘ are you alright? ‘ she asked, approaching them with a careful smile. ‘ you seem lost - may i ask where you what trying to find? ‘
losing a parent was never easy , even if this wasn’t the first alexia had not taken any part of this lightly. the south had aged the youngest wolf , and now she felt like she was too grown up for the world she’d lived in. everything was out of balance and misplaced , nothing making sense and everything hurting. she’d been the most distant from her family the moment the new maester announced the loss of the king. her father. lex was far from perfect , far from obedient , but she loved him and had always been closer with her father than her mother. and now he was gone. the youngest princess found herself in one of the windows looking out on the great courtyard , so many were gathering , so many had already arrived. instead of greeting like she should , alexia was hiding. but footsteps sound , causing the redhead to turn slowly to the other. “ hello , is there something i can assist you with ? ”

after recovering his poisoning, and angry at his younger brother for exercising his full power as the hand in his stead, king aedar calls a family meeting in dragonstone two months after everyone is released from king’s landing. as a further show of his own power, aedar makes the decision to no longer hide the largest secret the targaryen family has been keeping for centuries.
the targaryens have dragons.
and without hearing a word of what his siblings have to say, the king flies off on his dragon back to king’s landing, flying over the city before landing in the rebuilt dragon pit that had previously been used for indoor tournaments.
the king does not attend the coronation in the north at this time.
the ruling couple of the vale announce their first pregnancy, a celebration is held in the eyrie for all vale houses to attend.
after near three blissful or chaotic months apart , the ravens slowly begin to filter in. many are weary , expecting the targayren seal to be planted upon the letters , so imagine their shock to discover that of a wolf.
with regret this letter has been written, king tylon stark has passed.
you are cordially invited to attend the coronation of prince harrion stark as he ascends the throne as the king of the north. there will a tournament and festival to honor the new rulers of the north, as well as celebrate the great reign of king tylon.
and so their travels begin once more to pay respects for a great king and witness the crowning of prince harrion and princess ravella. despite the chill, the welcome in winterfell is warm and somber, but the commonfolk have come out of the woodwork to celebrate their new king and queen.
EVENT SPECIFIC INFO . the event will take place from the start of this post to fri., nov. 18th. if you would like to submit your characters to the jousting tournament, please do so before thurs, nov 3 as that is when i will be doing the brackets.
the festival is nothing intense, just food + good vendors coming out to sell their wares and monopolize on the high traffic in king’s landing. the fur vendors have come out in droves, of course.
the coronation takes place on the first official day of the festivities, but many of those vendors have been around for the days leading up. we won’t actually write that event due to time constraints.
use the tag: rfms.event03, please only tag opens with the starter tag + ofc as usual everyone gets one free open and tbh just prioritize replying to opens as you’re able and you can post more than that.
OOC INFO . the king’s death is a direct result of the poisoning from the maester even after months of trying to treat him. his funeral was held prior to the arrival of many but feel free to have any northern houses have attended + arrived in time.
this will place our characters as traveling through early winter, snowy but nothing that can’t be traveled safely if done right. it will be a stark change for many southerners who have never experienced snow before.
another post will be made with updates sent to the main regarding betrothals, marriages and deaths / large changes.
for any questions please just ask ! was a bit braindead writing this, likely forgot important bits.
as we have changed the date a few times, here is a full timeline of what is expected activity wise. ( times are relevant to cst )
there will be an activity check done tomorrow for anyone who has not posted at all in the previous 7 days. if you know you will fall on this check + be unable to post in time, please message the main so we can give you some leniency ! but do note this is a check, not an auto unfollow. players will have time to post ic.
a full activity check will still be done on wednesday morning across all characters + accounts. at this point any new characters need to be posted on as well or they will simply be reopened.

( i am done fighting w my photoshop so insert pretty graphic here )
alrighty lovebugs ! i mentioned a task, and here it is. we’d like for everyone to make posts about what their characters did over the arc, including changes in their lives, and as much detail as you’d like ! please refrain from posting these until AFTER the new arc drop, and of course you can always edit them.
i would also strongly advice collaboration in your family chats so that way other players know if they’re at home w. their siblings or were forsaken for other travels ! even if you just drop an update, it’s beneficial to all parties to know what’s going in.
have a blast, make them as pretty or as simple as you like + please tag them with rfms.task02 + rfms.arc02 !
location : the eyrie , various other places around the vale of arryn .
the youngest lord of the eyrie could not have returned to the vale fast enough . he kept correspondence with some of the friends he made in the southern capital , and though hearing the stories of their daily activities made him itch to travel , he kept any adventures short and within the limits of the vale . instead , most of his time was spent with family , current and upcoming . with rodrik married , and kadeem and sharra both betrothed , attention could now fall squarely on finding osric a match , which , given his ambitions , he was not at all pleased with ( and displeased he remains ) . he is , however , the most excited about the prospect of another arryn in the household , if only to finally no longer be the baby of the family .
SERENA KARSTARK , ruling lady of karhold .
location : karhold , pyke .
following their release from the red keep , serena returned north , rather than taking a detour through the westerlands as she had once planned . by the time the karstarks reached karhold , she had recovered from her illness , and felt well enough to join rickard and alys in pyke weeks later . in her final days on the iron islands , however , something seemed different , and upon her return home , a visit with the maester confirmed her suspicions — she was with child . the novelty of the news had yet to wear off even as she stepped through the gates of winterfell , and though she was ( and currently is ) happy , overjoyed even , she has been uncharacteristically reticent about it , having only made the announcement to a handful of people . she plans to keep it that way while she still isn’t showing .
TOBIAS TARTH , knight & lord of evenfall hall .
location : evenfall hall , the summer isles , dorne .
tobias left king’s landing steely as ever , but internally he was beyond relieved . if he had any plans to return to the southern capital before , he certainly didn't after everything that transpired there ; if he never went back , that would still be too soon . he stayed at evenfall hall for a while , to spend quality time with his family for the first time in a few years . there , he spoke with his eldest sister and floated the idea of breaking his long - time betrothal . she declined , citing the importance of expanding house tarth’s network of alliances beyond the baratheons ( there was no talk of the targaryens , given that bridge had been throughly torched ) , and in fact encouraged him to stop running away from the arrangement . instead of heeding her advice , the knight resumed his duties as a sworn shield and reunited with aravis during her travels , journeying north with her when the summons arrived .
once free to leave, xavion went back to house beesbury with his wife, child and sisters. since he does not believe there's been justice made for his father's death and wonders if there is another truth to uncover, he has hired a spy to investigate it. this is the one thing he did before leaving. he is starting to let go of some of his anger, rather focusing it on action. he is finally ready to own his title of being a ruling lord of his house and it has kept him quite busy with all the work had been left to wait until he returned from the keep. even after all the terrible things that happened in king’s landing, he’s starting to feel more in control and hopeful, but perhaps a certain someone, who he has been exchanging letters with all this time, is to blame for that.
nara wynch. 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖑𝖆𝖉𝖞 (𝖆𝖘𝖘𝖆𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖓) 𝖔𝖋 𝖎𝖗𝖔𝖓 𝖍𝖔𝖑𝖙.
though currently still in the status of being timur's salt wife for the public eye, their arrangement is said to come to an end soon enough, which is why nara left the king's landing to be reunited with her family in pyke. she spent a few weeks training and sailing with friends and family until she took up a job she hadn't done in over a year to check if she hadn't lost her spark. nara went to lannisport to help her uncle with an assassination and got a really bad scar on her leg because of it. she returned home and has healed well, as it has not affected her overall health. no visible changes to her except for the long scar as a physical reminder that she's grown weaker after a year with less training. she looks forward to finding a good sparring partner in the north to learn a thing or two from the mainlanders.
