GOT: VR takes place in an Alternate Universe (PM if Interested in Details) and 20 years after the events of the TV Series. The story follows a Group of Sellswords, Hedge Knights, Lost Souls, and Adventurers as they follow the mysterious albeit notorious Dan Grey and his quest given to him by a mysterious benefactor. Where they are going and what they are doing and/or finding is a mystery unto itself. Only Grey, the "Butcher of Highpoint", knows and he's keeping the details to himself. All they know is that each member is gaining a portion of a 1000 dragon reward. Who is Grey working for? Where is this group heading to? And what is so important to this benefactor they'd willingly hire a notorious mercenary for 1000 dragons and "more"? Well you'll have to play the Game to find out....
Alright here is the OOC for discussing Characters and arc's next phases, Lore Info to understand the difference between Vanilla GOT TV Series and this Alternate Universe of the Game of Thrones.
Since its reinvention as a City-State, Kings Landing has begun to thrive as the first and only Free City in Westeros. It stands as a sort of border and buffer between a now divided Crownlands, the south ruled by Gendry Baratheon in the Stormlands and Edmure Tully in the Riverlands. Dorne, the Reach, and the Vale have not changed except that a New House Sits upon the Seat at Highgarden, Robin Arynn has become a much more stable Ruler and Dorne has settled down with a new Martell upon its throne. The Westerlands would have been ruled by Tyrion Lannister, but he ceded control of Casterly Rock to Bronn of the Blackwater since he could not fulfill his promise to give him Highgarden. Now styling himself as Bronn of the reformed House Casterly, he has surprisingly gained the last laugh as many believed that Casterly Rock and its underground Gold Mines were all but dried up. In reality his men discovered new veins of Gold and Silver, making the Westerlands rich once more.
In the Iron Islands, with Euron having withdrawn from King’s Landing during the battle, he and Yara Greyjoy are locked in a brutal Civil War for the Salt Throne. Desperate, Euron has launched Reaving Missions upon the Riverlands, Westerlands, and the North in order to gain men, material, and resources to continue his war. Queen Sansa, King Edmure, and King Bronn-with some convincing by Tyrion Lannister-have formed a loose Alliance to create a Coastal defense against Euron’s Reavings to ensure he is effectively starved into submission. After Ten years it appears to be working.
In the North, Queen Sansa Stark has Raised several minor Lords to replace the ones lost during the Wars. One of them being two Bastard Brothers of House Cassel. In exchange for bending the knee, The elder brother is granted the right to become a noble house and take Last Hearth as their own. The younger brother though has been granted a greater prize: In exchange for taking the name Stark, He has become Prince Consort to the Queen in the North on the understanding their first born Son would become the first true King in the North since Aegon’s Conquest. Tyrion Lannister, Hand to the Queen and now simply called Tyrion, has dutifully served Sansa for these last 20 Years. He along with Brianne of Tarth have been raising Jamie’s bastard son James who was conceived between Jamie and Brianne before he left for King’s Landing. As a Reward for his service, Sansa has granted Tyrion rule of The Dreadfort left long abandoned after the extinction of House Bolton. Tyrion instead asks that his nephew be legitimized and the Castle be granted to him, thus creating the house of Lannister in the North and Lords of the newly rechristened Lionsfort. With this the Feud between the Lion and the Wolf are surely healed. But there are still ghosts haunting the North…
North of the Wall, the Wildlings are said to have a New King-Beyond-the-Wall, who has effectively taken control of the Ruined Wall, the Castles that once guarded it, and the Gifts South of the Wall. But that is not all that Haunts the North. Fifteen Years ago, House Forester came out of hiding after they were driven from their ancestral Home of Ironwrath by their rivals the Whitehills. Sansa, with her personal retainer of Soldiers and a Mercenary Company under the command of Danton “Dan” Greywolf, they drove the Whitehills from Ironwrath and back to their fortress on Highpoint. Sansa was forced to return to Winterfell due to her on the cusp of bearing her son, leaving Captain Danton effectively in command of the Siege. Captain Dan gave the Whitehills several chances and warnings throughout the siege to surrender, only to have it thrown back into his face time and time again. On the last day and the gates where torn open, Danton’s Company stormed the castle with but one purpose: Butcher all inside and burn the castle to the ground. By the time Tyrion and a small force of Soldiers made it to where Highpoint once stood there was nothing but the foundations and a mountain of ash. The only survivors were children and expecting women along with a few livestock Danton allowed them to take. With those exceptions the Whitehills of Highpoint were all but extinct and Highpoint was nothing but a ruin. This brutality cast a heavy shadow on Danton Greywolf, who would disappear for 15 years...Until now...

Alright here is the OOC for discussing Characters and arc's next phases, Lore Info to understand the difference between Vanilla GOT TV Series and this Alternate Universe of the Game of Thrones.
Lore
The following RP is set in an Alternate Universe of Game of Thrones, where the series ended much differently. And the following points are what differentiates this AU from the Original Version.
-Danerys Targaryen is not murdered by Jon Snow and she didn’t destroy King’s Landing while going Mad Queen on us. Instead she chooses to make the choice of sparing the people at the cost of losing the throne. However, before she can make her retreat, Drogon is shot down and mortally wounded. Grey Worm and the remaining Targaryen Loyalists (sans the Northmen) die defending Dany while Dany herself dies alongside the people most sworn to her.
-Cersei Lannister sets off the Wildfire on purpose, but only after luring the Targaryen/Northern/Vale Forces into a trap. Jamie Lannister, originally sent to kill her but stopped by his ahem “demons”, looks on in horror as what he stopped years before comes to fruition by his sisters hands. Using Widow’s Wail, he redeems himself by killing both Cersei and their unborn baby before he himself is ran through by the Queensguard.
-Sandor and Gregor Clegane pretty much duke it out like they do in Vanilla GOT but instead of toppling into a fiery abyss Sandor overcomes his fear of fire and uses it to blind Gregor long enough to kill him but is mortally wounded in the process. Arya, who accompanied Sandor to King’s Landing to originally kill Cersei, grants Sandor the Gift of Death by ending his torment before leaving Kings landing.
-Euron Greyjoy survives the battle of King’s Landing, along with his fleet and upon discovery that the baby inside Cersie is not his, decides to pull his Iron Fleet out seeing he has nothing to fight for there.
-Jon Snow does not kill Dany but instead after the Wildfire is detonated orders his weary Northmen out, choosing Duty to them over Love for Danerys. He and Tyrion discuss that the other Lords of Westeros will push his Claim to the Throne and Jon, overcome and tired of his duty to it all, decides to abdicate in favor of a new king with Sam witnessing a letter written by him.
-Tyrion Lannister, the Last of the Lannisters of the Westerlands, reunites with Bronn at an inn. Seeing he can’t give Highgarden to Bron since Dany’s dead, he decides to instead to give Casterly Rock to Bronn to not only settle the debt owed to him but to spur his dead father one last time. He then for a while becomes just Tyrion.
-At a meeting with other Lords in the Trident, along with Sansa, Arya, Gendry, Bronn, Edmure, Robin, Bronn, Yara, the Prince of Dorne, and so on, Tyrion and Sam reveal that Jon has abdicated in favor of Tyrion Lannister. Many object to this till Sansa vouches for him and calms the situation down. The other Lords acknowledge Tyrions as king before he grants The North, The Iron Islands, and Dorne their Independence. Before he can be anointed, Tyrion intervenes and says he will not rule them, giving the other Lords a chance to agree to secede, creating the Seven Independent Kingdoms once more. Concerning the Crownlands, both Edmure Tully and Gendry Baratheon make claims before they make a compromise to split the territory between the Riverlands and Stormlands along the northern branch of the Blackwater River. Tyrion steps in one final time to suggest that while the lands will be governed by the respective Lords, King’s Landing will be granted its own Independence much like the Free Cities have.
-Tyrion, no longer Lord of the Westerlands, feels without purpose until Sansa offers him the Hand of the Queen pin. Happily, he accepts it and accompanies her and Sam North.
-Jon says his final goodbyes to Sansa, Arya, and Bran before heading through the breach of the Wall with Tormund, Ghost, and the Wildlings that chose to repopulate the land beyond the Wall.
-Sansa becomes Queen of the North with Tyrion as her Hand and Brienne of Tarth as head of her Northern Guard. Arya still sails west of Westeros, Brienne still writes of the deeds of Jamie Lannister, and Tyrion and Sansa consult about the coming food problems.
-Davo's Seaworth, instead of becoming part of the Small Council in King's Landing retrieves his Wife and moves to the North and into the service of House Stark. He becomes Master of Ships on Sansa’s Council.
There is also some other additions to the story that I personally added to this AU that helps make up this new setting.
-Brienne of Tarth, through her coupling with Jamie Lannister, becomes pregnant and gives birth to a healthy baby boy. Tyrion and Brienne, aware of the boy’s origins, name him James in honor of his Father though for the first few years of his life he is known as James Snow.
-Tyrion serves as a dutiful and effective Hand, able to implement techniques he has used and seen used in Essos to produce food in order to at least help the people of the North. As a reward for his contributions, Sansa grants him the Dreadfort, which as been long abandoned since the extinction of the Boltons. Tyrion, not wanting anything than to just be himself, asks instead that the Castle be given to his nephew James along with the gift of Legitimization. Sansa approves and the five year old James Lannister becomes Lord of the newly named Lionfort.
-The Forresters come out of hiding and plead with Queen Sansa to assist in retaking Ironwrath. They do and drive the Whitehills back to Highpoint. The Highpoint Conflict as it would later be known ends with fall of the Castle and extinction of House Whitehill.
Westeros has never been the same since the Great Wars Twenty Years Ago. Danerys Targaryen, after the traitorous Cersei Lannister detonated Wildfire an attempt to wipe out her enemies, forsook the throne to save more lives but was tragically cut down along with her last dragon Drogon and her loyal Usnullied Forces. Cersie, now remembered today as the Mad Queen, paid for her treachery at the hands of Jamie Lannister who ran her and their supposedly unborn child through before being killed by the Queensguard. Jon Snow-revealed to be Aegon VI Targaryen-Abdicated in favor of Tyrion Lannister who in turn allowed the Lords to quiet succeed and become the Seven Independent Kingdoms for the first time since Aegon the First’s Conquest roughly 300 years earlier. It had started with an Aegon, it ended with an Aegon…The following RP is set in an Alternate Universe of Game of Thrones, where the series ended much differently.
