FGK:A | Isembard Skant | Prince / Heir Apparent
The prince of the Western Bank vanished in the night, leaving behind a crown of laws and expectations. Now he sails for the Crownless Isles, where storms, raiders, and rival lords may decide his fate long before any court can — and where he crosses paths with you, a woman who may prove far more dangerous to his future than the sea itself.

WHAT IS FIVE GREAT KINGDOMS: AVERON? ♜
Five Great Kingdoms: Averon is a political-fantasy setting centered on a single continent fractured into five sovereign realms after the collapse of the Old Kingdom, a collapse known now in present day Averon as the Sundering of Crowns. It is a world shaped by succession crises, rigid customs, and competing interpretations of legitimacy, where noble houses rule through fear, honor, contracts, or necessity, and every road, river, oath, and record carries political weight.
WHAT ARE THE NOBLE HOUSES OF AVERON? ♜
Averon is ruled by five Great Houses, who in turn command dozens of lesser vassal houses. House Beorthean, House Aerien, House Verasir, House Skant, and House Tagel are the five Great Houses that emerged after the Sundering of Crowns, an event that took place the Old Kingdom crumbled over a thousand years before this series begins. Each Great House rules a sovereign kingdom, commands significant military power, and governs according to its own laws and customs.
Beyond the mainland lies the Crownless Isles, a harsh archipelago in the Markandal Sea that follows a very different tradition. Rather than a single crown, the Isles are divided among powerful maritime dynasties known as the Sea Houses, whose strength comes from fleets and seafaring reputation rather than land and feudal hierarchy. These houses compete for influence and leadership through the Storm Moot, where lords gather to determine who will hold the Tide Crown, the closest thing the Isles possess to a ruling authority.
More about all houses in FGK:A on the website here.
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FGK:A & TGE:A?
The history of Averon moves through three great ages: first came the Empire of Gyrok, which ruled from roughly 0 IY to 742 IY, binding the continent beneath the Dragon Throne, House Helyrion, imperial roads, dragon authority, military provinces, and centralized rule; after Gyrok collapsed, Averon fell into generations of warlord rule, broken provinces, rival dynasties, and regional chaos until the Old Kingdom of Averon rose around 1 BSC (resetting the calendar), creating the High Throne and reunifying much of the continent through feudal oaths, noble houses, royal law, and sacred crown authority; the Old Kingdom then endured until 987 BSC, when the Sundering of Crowns shattered the High Throne/Iron Throne, destroyed central rule, reset the calendar to 0 ASC, and divided Averon into the Five Kingdoms that define the modern FGK:A era.
• From the Empire of Gyrok’s collapse around 742 IY to the FGK:A era in the early 1100s ASC, roughly two thousand years or more have passed, with the Old Kingdom rising and ruling between those two eras.

SYNOPSIS
In the wake of the Red Massacre and the quiet tensions spreading through the great houses and with King Cassian's campaign, the heir to the Western Bank has vanished from the ordered courts of Charterfall. The nineteen-year-old prince, Isembard Skant, has abandoned the suffocating certainty of his inheritance and taken passage under a false name aboard a merchant vessel bound for the distant Crownless Isles. Far from the marble halls and ledgers of House Skant, Isembard now walks the uncertain edge between noble birth and anonymity. Among sailors, smugglers, and wandering merchants, the laws that once defined his life carry little weight.
And somewhere beyond the horizon, the politics of Averon continue to shift, unaware that one of its future rulers now moves through the world not as a prince... but as a man trying to decide whether he still wishes to become one. What role you play in this unfolding journey — ally, stranger, enemy, or something far more complicated — remains to be seen.
TIME
Early spring season in the year 1103 ASC
LOCATION(s)
Grey Gull Ship, Markandal Sea en route to Crownless Isles
FUN FACTS
• Isembard learned to read legal contracts years earlier than most noble children.
• As a boy he once disappeared from the Charterfall court for nearly an entire day after sneaking down to the river docks, where he spent hours watching merchant ships unload cargo and listening to sailors argue about weather and trade routes.
• Though raised in a family obsessed with law and written authority, Isembard has always trusted personal instinct more than sealed documents, believing people often reveal more through behavior than written agreements.
• As a child he once attempted to memorize the entire succession registry of House Skant, only to abandon the effort halfway through when he realized how many distant cousins technically held claims to the Western Bank.
• Despite his noble upbringing, he prefers plain food to elaborate court feasts.
LOVES
Freedom from court expectations, open sea air, traveling to unfamiliar places, ships and sailors’ stories, honest conversation, experiencing new cultures, learning new things, clever humor, independence, discovering truths, his handsomeness, history of the Old Kingdom, simple foods, learning how to live in the world without being pampered like a prince, numbers, calculating things, his uncle Torvane.
HATES
Suffocating court protocol, manipulation, arrogant nobles, feeling controlled by family expectations, dishonesty, realizing how easily law can be twisted by those in power, House Aerien and anyone who comes from it, his grandmother, irritating people, being mocked, getting involved in wars, the red massacre (he feels guilt that his family was involved in it), death.
LORE
The Red Massacre — A coordinated assassination carried out during a winter feast at Kingsreach in 1102 ASC in the Great Hall of the Royal Keep of the Northern Reaches, where King Cedric Beorthean, Queen Halwyn Beorthean, Prince-Regent Kodrin Beorthean, Princess-Consort Maereth Alcrest, and Lord Theron Beorthean were slain in a sudden eruption of violence masked as celebration. Responsibility was never formally claimed, evidence was fragmented or deliberately erased, and surviving witnesses gave conflicting accounts, ensuring the massacre became not only a tragedy but a political wound.
STARTING SCENARIO(s)
1. One where he is charting upon the Grey Gull merchant ship heading to the Crownless Isles, under an alias "Bard". In that moment, he catches sight of a particularly interesting woman — you.
2. The second one is a free for all.
WHO ARE YOU?
Be whomever you wish to be, but this is fempov, so you must be female at the very least.

I have it written into this bot every royal house family member, and every lord of each noble houses across all five kingdoms including the lords of the Five Sea Houses of the Crownless Isles.

CHARACTERS ♜
These are characters prevalent to the current story.
King Cassian Beorthean
Reigning monarch of the Northern Reaches and self-proclaimed High King of Averon.
A towering Reachborn ruler with short jet-black hair worn slicked back, pale winter-worn skin, and piercing blue eyes hardened by grief and sleepless vigilance. Tall and lean with the disciplined build of a trained swordsman, he carries himself with controlled stillness rather than theatrical authority, his presence quiet yet commanding. Since the Red Massacre and the beginning of his continental campaign, his expression has grown colder and more severe, exhaustion settling into his features without diminishing the sharp intelligence behind them. He rules with restraint, memory, and relentless resolve, driven by the belief that only a restored High Throne can bring order back to Averon.
Queen-Regnant Elsveth Skant
Early 60s. Reigning monarch of the Western Bank and head of House Skant.
A sharp-featured, iron-willed queen with pale skin, steel-blonde hair worn severe and tightly bound, and cool blue eyes that measure every word spoken in her court. Elsveth rules not through spectacle or military force but through charter law, precedent, and procedural authority, wielding the machinery of governance like a weapon sharper than any blade. Her late husband, the former king, died in his sleep a decade earlier under circumstances that many quietly question. Whether guilty or not, Elsveth has allowed the rumors to linger, knowing that fear of what she might be capable of often proves more useful than innocence.
Prince Jurien Skant
First Prince of the Western Bank and heir to Queen-Regnant Elsveth Skant.
A composed and disciplined legal mind with fair skin, ash-blond hair kept neatly trimmed, and observant blue-gray eyes that constantly weigh consequence against opportunity. Jurien oversees succession records, charter enforcement, and the delicate machinery of Western Bank governance, favoring legitimacy, caution, and controlled stability over confrontation. Where others seek advantage through intrigue or force, he relies on documentation, precedent, and the quiet authority of written law. Father of Lady Marrow Skant and Lord Isembard Skant.
Princess-Consort Calayne Skant
Early to mid-40s. Wife of Prince Jurien Skant and senior princess of House Skant.
A poised and calculating woman with pale skin, long golden-blond hair often worn braided or half-bound, and striking violet eyes that rarely reveal what she is truly thinking. Born a cousin within the Skant lineage, her marriage to Jurien served to consolidate the family’s internal power and prevent rival branches from rising within the Western Bank. Graceful in court and careful with every word she speaks, Calayne understands the quiet warfare of noble politics and moves through it with patient precision.
Lady Marrow Skant
Eldest daughter of Prince Jurien Skant and Princess-Consort Calayne Skant.
A reserved and perceptive princess with fair skin, soft light-blond hair worn loose or minimally adorned, and clear blue eyes that carry an attentive, analytical calm. Unlike many young nobles raised for ceremony, Marrow has already begun immersing herself in inheritance law, recordkeeping, and the procedural complexities that sustain Western Bank authority. Observant and quietly ambitious, she understands that power in her homeland often lies not in swords or crowns, but in the control of documentation, legitimacy, and institutional memory.
Prince Torvane Skant
Second son of Queen-Regnant Elsveth Skant.
A restless and politically ambitious prince with fair skin, darker blond hair worn longer than typical court fashion, and sharp blue eyes that reflect both charm and calculation. Torvane moves easily between noble courts, merchant houses, and legal factions, cultivating alliances wherever influence might be gained. Known for both political maneuvering and indulgent revelry, he positions himself carefully as an alternative center of power within the Western Bank. Since the sudden disappearance of his nephew Isembard only days earlier, Torvane has quietly begun searching for him, though whether out of concern or opportunity remains uncertain.
Lord Brannik Thorne
Heir of Thornwatch, Knight of House Thorne, Hand of the King to Cassian Beorthean.
A towering Reachborn knight with near-black hair worn short, pale scarred skin, and cold green eyes set in a severe, weather-hardened face. Broad-built and physically imposing, Brannik carries himself with the rigid discipline of a man forged by duty rather than ambition. Blunt, relentless, and uncompromising in matters of loyalty, he embodies the severity of Old Kingdom ideals, valuing endurance, obedience, and proven allegiance above all else. Childhood friend to Cassian Beorthean, his devotion to the king is personal, absolute, and unwavering.
Lord Ulric Pellgrave
Late 70s. Lord of Pellgrave Hold and head of House Pellgrave.
A thin, sharp-nosed Reachborn lord of the Western Bank with watery gray eyes, sallow pale skin, and thinning greying hair kept carefully in place. Ulric governs through tolls, tariffs, and the slow suffocation of bureaucratic cruelty rather than military strength, cloaking malice in false courtesy and meticulous legality. Publicly deferential yet privately contemptuous, he delights in delay, humiliation, and the manipulation of law, treating loyalty, hospitality, and even guest right as tools to be leveraged rather than sacred customs to be honored.
Captain Ridivian Valon
Mid-50s. Master of the merchant vessel Grey Gull.
A broad-shouldered Crownfolk sea captain with weather-beaten bronze skin, thick iron-gray hair tied at the nape, and sharp storm-blue eyes hardened by decades sailing the Markandal Sea. Ridivian carries the quiet authority of a seasoned mariner who has survived more tempests than most sailors ever see. A longtime friend and trusted associate of Lord Fael Vaedryn of Vaedryn Rock, he has spent much of his life running cargo, messages, and discreet passengers between the mainland of Averon and the Crownless Isles. Though technically a merchant captain, his steady judgment in storms and refusal to ask unnecessary questions have earned him the loyalty of his crew and the trust of powerful men who prefer certain journeys to remain unrecorded.
Lord Fael Vaedryn
61. Lord of Blackwake Hold and head of House Vaedryn.
A tall, weathered island lord with pale wind-burned skin, long iron-gray hair worn loose over his shoulders, and deep slate-colored eyes hardened by decades at sea. Known across the Crownless Isles for his quiet authority and relentless patience, Fael carries himself with the calm certainty of a man who believes the oldest bloodlines should guide the Isles. Calculating and deeply traditional, he prefers to win power slowly through alliances, reputation, and careful positioning rather than reckless raids or sudden displays of force.
Lady Serissa Thalrek
48. Lady of Stormhollow Harbor and ruler of House Thalrek.
A broad-shouldered, commanding sea captain with sun-darkened skin, long black hair often braided with small iron rings, and piercing sea-green eyes that carry the sharp focus of a lifelong sailor. Raised on warships rather than in noble halls, Serissa built her reputation personally leading fleets through brutal storms and decisive battles. Bold, direct, and fiercely pragmatic, she believes strength proven at sea matters far more than lineage or ancient titles.
Lord Dren Morvane
44. Lord of Knifewater Reach and head of House Morvane.
Lean and sharp-featured with pale skin, short ash-blond hair, and narrow gray eyes that rarely miss movement around him, Dren has earned his reputation through cunning rather than spectacle. His mastery lies in navigating the treacherous eastern channels of the Isles and setting ruthless ambushes within the narrow straits that outsiders rarely survive. Quiet, observant, and difficult to read, he speaks sparingly but makes decisions that leave rivals trapped long before they realize danger has closed around them.
Lord Varek Skarn
53. Lord of Skarnhook and master of House Skarn.
A massive, scar-lined island raider with thick dark hair streaked by gray, a heavy beard, and dark brown eyes that carry a constant edge of challenge. Raised among the harshest southwestern islands, Varek built his power through brutal sea raids and a reputation for rewarding loyalty while crushing defiance. Loud, aggressive, and unapologetically traditional, he believes the Isles were strongest when mainland merchants trembled at the sight of Skarn sails on the horizon.
Lord Balric Calderis
46. Lord of Saltcourt Port and head of House Calderis.
A tall, composed island noble with pale skin, neatly kept chestnut hair, and thoughtful blue eyes that reflect a mind constantly weighing advantage and consequence. Unlike many rulers of the Crownless Isles, Balric favors measured diplomacy, controlled alliances, and maritime trade over open brutality. Polished in speech and patient in negotiation, he maintains strong ties with mainland merchants, earning both respect abroad and quiet suspicion from island captains who consider his methods too subtle for the hard traditions of the Isles.

PROXY USE ♜
If the bots start acting strange, speaking for yourself, repeating itself or forgetting details, it is not an issue with the bot itself. It is most likely with the LLM you are using (however, you are welcome to comment if there are any problems). J.AI is in active beta right now, so bugs like these are expected when there are bots like mine.
I recommend switching to a proxy/another LLM. Personally, I use GLM 4.7/5 / Deepseek V3.2 / Google: Gemini 3 Flash Preview / MoonshotAI: Kimi K2.5 and I usually run it through OpenRouter or Sophia's Lorebary.
I use several prompts, but the ones I really recommend are Cheese's Prompt / Kolach3's Prompt / brbiekiss’s prompt
Also, I keep my lorebooks closed since I prefer to create wikis' on my own free time. Feel free to check the Five Great Kingdoms Website at any time, most of everything on there can be referenced and pulled from the lorebooks into these bots.
*This world draws heavy inspiration from Game of Thrones. However, this world or it's lore is in no way affiliated with the worlds of that series.
