For three decades, the once peaceful Kingdom of Alavorn has been torn apart by civil war. Upon the death of the beloved King Sagaron of the House of the Griffin, the powerful House of the Dragon declared Sagaron’s chosen heir illegitimate and unfit for the crown, putting forward their own purported heir to the throne. The other great noble houses of the realm chose their sides, and the land descended into chaos and war.
After thirty years of bloody battle, both houses have finally lost their taste for war. The armies are exhausted, and years of poor harvests have left the country on the brink of famine. If peace cannot be achieved, it seems doom shall come to all of Alavorn.
With disaster looming, the Dragon and the Griffin have reluctantly agreed to a truce, swearing to call a moot at which all the great noble houses of Alavorn shall finally settle the matter of succession without further bloodshed. Little do they realize that they will soon be faced with an even greater threat than one another.

Game world and story ideas credited to Luxtizer who has graciously allowed me to reboot this story.
Inspired by the War of the Roses and Game of Thrones. This is a story of two families that hate each other being forced to work together against a greater foe. All characters should be members of either House Dragon or House Griffin who will be attending the moot and engaging in peace talks. My intention is to have the cast equally split between the two, so consider taking a peek at the cast thus far and see if one house or the other is over-represented before crafting your character.
This will be a short story told over the span of six scenes. Please be willing to commit to seeing the story through to the end if you apply.
This is a low fantasy setting. Magic and monsters exist, but are rare. Assume a technology level roughly corresponding to late medieval Europe.
Custom cards are allowed. The cards provided are not meant to be an exhaustive list. Adding card art is encouraged. If selecting the ‘seize the throne’ subplot, please bear in mind that only one ‘heir’ character from each house will be accepted. One or both houses might have an NPC heir if nobody applies as the heir.
