Guy Fawkes' edition / SIFRP Report
A new game of SIFRP game begins tonight. This time I'm a player not the Narrator. Last week we created our House and new characters. Our new House is in the Stormlands, on the eastern coast of Westeros. The story of House Alastar begins 10 months into the events depicted in GRRM's Game of Thrones (the time when House Glastone's story left off). I made two characters: Anton Jelico,13 year old, only son of Visaryes & Vivian Jelico. My father is the leader of the Starhaven Mummers (Lord Standish Alastar's Players). My other character is the venerable landed knight, Ser Eucliff Vermusgen, nicknamed "Black Tongue" for his disgusting habit of chewing Myrish black leaf. He resides at Hall Millwater and is 70 years old. He's a tough old codger.
House Alastar's words are, "Stubborn, Fierce, Loyal, " their signet animal is the badger. Their coat of arms is on a Per Pall field, the charge is a white badger above a azure base, the sinister is orange, the dexter is black. House Alastar is suffering a period of decline. They did not support Robert in his rebellion against the Iron Throne. Our current Lord, Ser Standish Alastar's, father and older brother took the black after Robert won his throne. House Alastar is powerful and wealthy, but lacks status.
Both of my characters took animal cohort as a quality. Ser Eucliff's wolfhound, Porthos, and Anton's half wild-cat Stranger. Anton also has 3rd eye, so he often dreams his cat's nocturnal wanderings.
I'm looking forward to meeting the other characters, and await the wraith of Robert, our Narrator, I did off two of his characters in the Glastone campaign (he burnt 2 destiny points to save his squire and Valaryan steel heirloom).
I hear that winter is coming.
