Blood of Dragons is set in the low-magic, medieval-inspired fantasy
world of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Knowledge of the
books is not required for players with some MU*ing experience, though
it is definitely helpful.
The game takes place 140 years prior to the start of the first book, A
Game of Thrones and currently we are approaching the rebellion that
marks the end of King Daeron I's occupation of Dorne. The roleplay is
focused on the political and social interactions at the royal court in
King's Landing and at the court in Sunspear in Dorne, with players
taking up characters from various noble families. The Admin are
particularly interested in seeing more politically motivated
characters who are or want to become a part of the court bureaucracy.
Players have a choice between CGing a character themselves or taking
up previously played, fully pre-generated roles.
For more information, the following sections of the website are
particularly useful in terms of introducing the game, the recent IC
history and the current state of play in the open areas:

There is also a log archive, a chronicle of important IC events, the
family trees for the various houses and much more to be found on the
website, and of course the Admin (Nymeria & Balerion) are also happy
to help out with any questions.
