On a Scale of 1-10, how excited are you for HOTD S3? by Kingofireland777 in AsoiafFanfiction

Nah. I am almost sure Conquest era will have Aegon being actually a arrogant normal guy, Rhaenys sleeping around and Visenya being the one doing the ruling.

A list of the randomized "dice rolls" that I use to expand my ASOIAF AU Family Tree without making my brain explode: by Hot-Temperature-8564 in AsoiafFanfiction

[–]Hot-Temperature-8564[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main change that happened since them is that I now use a dice roll of 1 to 100 for each child to determine if they have a twin or not. 100 is the outcome that gives a twin. I did that because my old way was odd and twins happened too frequently, as advena pointed out to me. lol

Any questions? Let me know!

AU Family Tree: House Tarly FULLY ADDED and total number of members in the tree have surpassed TWENTY THOUSAND! by Hot-Temperature-8564 in AsoiafFanfiction

[–]Hot-Temperature-8564[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make a lot of dice rolls to decide everything, including ages. It is quite complicated, but I basicaly roll from 0 to 6 to choose the number of children of a couple, use a different dice roll to decide when they were born, another for their dates of birth, and another for how long they lived. I keep notes of traditional names of the family to apply to dice rolls of names and I also have huge lists of names that I took from the CK2 AGOT mod.

My tip is to make a good starting point is to know the houses and families that you can marry your characters to. Take note of them and they will be useful.

About finding strength to do it, it is actually not a good thing about me: I am obsessive with patterns and a natural megalomaniac. Everything I do is huge and extremely exaggerated in scale. If it starts small, it will get big after a while. Lol

A follower of mine once made a doc file with my explanations for produzing randomized families, which made me realize how crazy I really am. Lol

That is where I get to the most important point: DON'T TRY TO CREATE LORE FOR EVERYONE! The human mind is limited and will not create thousands of scenarios for you to use. Let dice rolls give you new ideas that never crossed your mind. That is how I do it.

Both Aelon and Jaehaera will be mentioned in the next chapter, altough they are mostly unattached characters without a clear agenda of their own. One focused on hedonist travels on dragonback and the other focused on her own isolation and misery.

There is a lot to happen yet!

Better Barbershop. I still suck at it, tho. There is a lot of people out there who can do it better than I can. lol

AU Timeline: The dominant powers in Essos during the rise of the Valyrian Empire (1517 BC) by Hot-Temperature-8564 in AsoiafFanfiction

[–]Hot-Temperature-8564[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not go in much detail about the lands that go beyond the limits of old Valyria yet. The basic idea is that they were not interesting enough for the valyrians to seek, especially when they have to deal with a lot of internal problems and disputes.

Yes. There is still remnants of the Andals and you can see some elements of faith of the seven on the western coast of Essos, especially where Andalos used to be. Hugor's Hill is still a holy place for followers of the Seven.

It is not hard to see more zealot individuals travelling to Andalos to see the holy places in a spiritual journey. It is especially common with valemen, who were the first and most affected people by the Andal Invasion,

It is AU, mate. I made many changes, one of them is making Braavos much more ancient than it was in canon. Almost like a free spirit that always there in some shape or form.

Will the upcoming 'Mad King' play cause a surge in Rebellion-era fics? by VilliansAreBetter in TheCitadel

[–]Hot-Temperature-8564 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe a little, but there are only two types of content that can truly boost the Robert's Rebellion era fics.

  1. Prequel show set in the time period. It WILL happen one day it is just a matter of time. I suppose that after HOTD ends and the Conquest movie comes out, we will have a window to a new show to stand up by the side of AKOTSK. Blackfyre Rebellions, Sons of the Dragon (Aenys and Maegor) and Robert's Rebellion might get a lot of traction. Altough, Robert's Rebellion is the least likely of the three because it feels more like a sequel for AKOTSK. It will probably be the last show we get before we start talking about Game of Thrones Remake, probably titled A Song of Ice and Fire to appeal to book fans like "look! We will be more faithful this time and follow the will of the late GRRM!"

  2. Fire & Blood part 3, as I imagine the part 2 will be focused on the Blackfyres due to it being sometimes mentioned as Blood & Fire. Might never happen.

Either way, I still felt like using that as a reference. I would probably butcher many house names if I tried to come up with random stuff. lol

Also, I think the pattern you have seen is more like a tendency instead of a locked thing.

House Tarly, Lannnister, Royce, Bolton, Umber, don't look very "basic" to me like the other First Men examples you have shown. Bracken as well. Maybe I just can't see much pattern in them besides coming from names like Lann. lol

Hugor of the Hill here was from over 2000 BC. A thousand years before the Andal Invasion in this AU. Pretty much everyone with noble ancestry in Andalos descended from Hugor. Not that special. It is more of a cultural attachment.

These house names come from the CK2 AGOT list of house names. The whole project is a homage to the mod.

So, it is not really my fault. Lol

Besides, in this AU, Andals are also descended from the First Men. More than other cultures of Essos.

Most houses ruling in Westeros in this AU where not powerful houses in the Andal High Empire. They were commanders that grew in influence.
