Welp, gonna be starting a little ASOIAF AU map series project and hoping it'll go somewhere. This one comes with a fun little concept I have yet to see anyone else do.
The Golds: Led by the so-called King Joffrey Baratheon; firstborn son of the late Queen Cersei Lannister and the eldest of the supposedly trueborn children of hers with the late King Robert; Alleged a bastard child of incest and adultery, sired by the rogue Kingsguard, Jaime Lannister; The King in Casterly Rock; Derisively called "Joffrey Lannister" and "Joffrey Hill" by the Reds and Grays; Supported by House Lannister of Casterly Rock, Lord Tywin Lannister vowing vengeance (he prefers it be called justice) for the execution (he prefers it be called murder) of Queen Cersei, as well as House Tyrell of Highgarden, partly due to the betrothal of Lady Margaery Tyrell to King Joffrey and mostly due to Lord Paramount Mace Tyrell's grand ambitions.
The Reds: Led by the self-proclaimed King Stannis Baratheon; King Robert's eldest brother and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands; Claim based on him supposedly being the only legitimate heir to Robert on account of the alleged bastardry of Queen Cersei's children and the disputed paternity of King Jon; The King in Storm's End; Derisively called "the Heathen" by the Golds and Grays due to his worship of the Red God; Supported by the Lords of the Stormlands, with King Stannis making overtures to various houses of the Reach, most prominently his wife's Queen Rhea's kin, House Florent of Brightwater Keep.
The Grays: Led by King Jon Baratheon; Legitimized natural son and favourite child of King Robert by the tragic Lady Lyanna Stark, and Prince of Dragonstone prior to the untimely death of his father; King Stannis alleges him to have been truly sired by Rhaegar Targaryen while Lady Lyanna was held captive at the Tower of Joy, whilst King Joffrey decrees his legitimization revoked on account of his supposed treason against the Crown; The King on the Iron Throne; Derisively called "Jon Storm" by the Golds and "Jon Snow" by the Reds; Supported by House Stark of Winterfell, Lord Eddard Stark currently serving as King Jon's Hand of the King (having been appointed to the office by King Robert), and House Tully of Riverrun, King Jon having been betrothed to Lord Paramount Hoster Tully's granddaughter, Lady Sansa Stark.
NEUTRAL
The Vale of Arryn: Under the regency of Lady Lysa Arryn on behalf of her son, Lord Paramount Robert Arryn. Despite credible rumours of House Lannister having had a role in the sudden death of the late Jon Arryn, Lady Lysa has refused to declare for either the Reds or the Grays, declaring the Vale neutral in the coming war - much to the great frustration of many lords of the Vale.
Dorne: Prince Doran Martell has maintained a near total silence since the outbreak of hostilities. Though many question the exact motives behind this complete inaction, there is some agreement that it may stem from bitter feelings over the deaths of Princess Elia and her children during the Sack of King's Landing. Many believe that House Martell of Sunspear intends to completely sit out the war on the sidelines, though some in both the Red and Gray camps propose that they can use the existing animosity the Martells have towards House Lannister to win them over to their side.
OTHER PARTIES
The Iron Islands: Lord Balon Greyjoy, styling himself "King of the Isles and the North", has once again declared independence from the Iron Throne in what many are calling a "Second Greyjoy Rebellion". His son Theon Greyjoy, currently a hostage of House Stark, has subsequently been imprisoned in the cells of Winterfell as a deterrent against further aggression against the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.
The Wildlings: Lord Commander Benjen Stark of the Night's Watch reports that a deserter of the Black Brothers named Mance Rayder has declared himself "King-Beyond-The-Wall" and marches on the Wall at the head of a great host of a hundred thousand wildlings. Though Lord Eddard has taken note of the threat and has expressed his concerns about it towards his younger brother, little can be spared to reinforce the Watch on account of the ongoing war in the South.
Mountain Clans of the Vale: Ever since the death of Jon Arryn under suspicious circumstances, the clans have subjected the Vale to ever bolder and more frequent raids on the lowlands. Lady Lysa cites the need to chase them back to the Mountains of the Moon as reason for the knights of the Vale to focus inwards and "temporarily" ignore the happenings beyond the Bloody Gate. Some lords have accepted this reasoning, if reluctantly; though they expect immediate action to seek justice justice for Lord Jon as soon as the threat is ended.
