Claiming Guide

Making a Claim
As mentioned before there are three types of claims one may choose: Houses, SC (single character), and NW/Wildling. We will cover each one separately as they will work with be created with a different criteria.

House Claims
When choosing a House Claim, you will be able to control the House's troops, income and household as well as the Lord's family and not claimable vassals. The first thing you need to do is check our Claims List where you can find the available Houses and a small summary of their current situation.

You can also check our State of the Realm article to access our House Wikis to learn the current situation of your desired House and our House Almanac where you can find the physical characteristics of each of your characters, if they were stated by a previous player. If you are the first person to claim such House then it is your duty fill in you House's Almanac. It is required that every player keeps their House's Almanac updated with deaths and births of new characters, come on you wouldn't like to claim a House and have no information about it.

Members of a House will not be allowed to have a Skill/Drawback upon creation with the exceptions of those who have canon been considered particulary outstanding in a certain field, like Stannis Baratheon, Robert Baratheon, Rhaegar Targaryen, Tywin Lannister, Randyll Tarly, Petyr Baelish and any others you might think, please contact the mods if you believe your character should have a Skill/Drawback upon creation and to identify which one(s) it is. Please refer to our Skill page if you are interested in learning more about them.

Once you have chosen a House you need make a post on our sub with the tag [Claim] House XXXX and a small description of the House's Characters. Houses are allowed to include seven non-canon characters, and any player interested in doing so, must contact the mods prior to do so.

Single Characters & NW/Wildling Characters
When choosing a Single Character things work in a different way, since Single Characters do not have the income nor the troops a House Claim have, you will be allowed to pick 2 skills and 1 drawback upon creation. You are allowed to omit taking a Drawback but only by not taking a Skill. This will allow you character to have a more realistic nature, we are not perfect after all.

Just a quick reminder, Single Characters can be made out of your own imagination or canon characters, if you choose the second option you will need to ask the House Claimant to allow you to take a character part of his/her house.

Once you have decided your what your Single Character will be like you need to make a post with the tag [Claim] XXXX and inside the post you are required to state your characters name, a little backstory and his/her skills/drawbacks.
