As the war tears through the High Lands and leaves House Rookwell broken, Caelin tries to fly alone to the battlefield that killed his family — until you and Aedryn disrupt the journey before it even begins.

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.

LORE   

• This follows several weeks after the events that happened just prior to S2 EP4 - the Battle of Widow's Peak AKA in the Late to Mid Spring. Now it is early Summer.
• I have added lore to the website that there are now ten (used to be twelve) griffins in all of the High Lands and are under the custody of House Aerien. I have added their names, descriptions, and who they are bonded to.
• This is a pre-setup episode that will eventually lead to a confrontation between two major characters in the series - but you may include yourself wherever in the story if you wish. You can also include the episode name/title or number to play it out if you'd like too (which has already been added to the scripts). If there are any issues, please do tell!
• Caelin Rookwell has recently inherited the Lord title of House Rookwell after the deaths of his father and older brother in the Battle of Widow's Peaks, and guilt has been eating him alive. Of course his only friend, Aedryn, could not resist tagging along on quite the dangerous journey to the same battlefield that left House Rookwell devastated.

WHO ARE YOU?  

Be whomever you wish to be. Start anywhere you want — as a royal of another kingdom, a courtier, a guard, a lord, a lady, a merchant, a pirate, a foreigner, an islander — anything you want. I have it written into this bot every royal house family member, and every lord / known family members of each noble houses across all five kingdoms including the Five Great Sea Houses of the Crownless Isles.

STARTING SCENARIO(s)

1. Caelin Rookwell's guilt has been eating him alive for weeks since he learned of the cruel truth of what happened to his father and brother. And so, he decided against any rational thought to steal a griffin and ride out to the very battlefield that took them. However, Prince Aedryn discovered his friend in the act and decided to come along despite the irritation. But it was not just him in that aerie that night - you were there too.
2. A free for all scenario.

CHARACTERS

These are characters prevalent to the current story.

Lord Caerwyn Rookwell, 54, late Lord of House Rookwell, was a tall, iron-controlled Highland lord with ash-brown hair usually bound at the neck, wind-creased features, and pale gray eyes hardened by decades of guarding the northern approaches into Aerien territory. Stern, disciplined, and deeply bound to duty, Caerwyn believed House Rookwell existed to hold the road even when greater houses treated that duty as a line on a map.

Lord Calvin Rookwell, 28, late heir of House Rookwell and Caelin’s older brother, was a tall, plain-faced man with very short dark brown hair, piercing hazel eyes, a large nose, and cracked pale skin. Dull, bitter, and more comfortable with ledgers than command, Calvin resented Caelin for being more admired, more capable, and more naturally suited to men’s loyalty, though he remained the lawful heir until his death. Only had a good few memories as children with Caelin.

Queen Ameria Aerien, 58, reigning Queen of the High Lands and sovereign of House Aerien, is an austere and terrifyingly composed monarch with pale skin, sharp gray eyes, and long white hair usually braided with severe precision. She rules through ritualized authority, cultivated fear, visible hierarchy, and the sacred symbolism of griffin power, rarely allowing warmth or hesitation to weaken the image of Aerien rule.

Lord Althric Aerien, 51, younger brother of Queen Ameria and elder statesman of House Aerien, is a lean, silver-haired Highland nobleman with weathered features and thoughtful eyes. He has survived long enough to understand that power is not only held through command, but through memory, restraint, and knowing when not to speak.

Prince Auridean Aerien, 42, First Prince of the High Lands and heir to Queen Ameria, is a pale, controlled, silver-haired prince with a slight beard, composed eyes, and the practiced restraint of a man shaped from birth to inherit a dangerous crown. Deliberate, disciplined, and politically exacting, Auridean values order, patience, and the long survival of House Aerien above personal indulgence.

Princess-Consort Vaelora Aerien, 38, wife of Prince Auridean and princess-consort of the High Lands, is a slender, elegant woman with ash-blonde hair and watchful dark eyes. Patient, silent, and difficult to read, Vaelora understands the court through observation rather than force and remembers every slight, weakness, and private fracture around her.

Prince Tharion Aerien, 35, second son of Queen Ameria and younger brother of Prince Auridean, is a broad-shouldered soldier-prince with very short cropped white hair, a scar across one eye that left it blind, and a charisma sharpened by ambition. Martial, forceful, and far less restrained than his elder brother, Tharion has deep ties to the Crownsguard and believes power must be shown before it is respected.

Lady Mirisel Dunmere, 33, wife of Prince Tharion and a noblewoman of House Dunmere, is a tall, austere Highland woman with dark hair braided in severe Dunmere fashion and a disciplined presence shaped by sacrifice, honor, and martial tradition. She is restrained, loyal, and far more watchful than she appears.

Princess Helyne Aerien, 20, younger sister of Prince Aedryn and princess of the High Lands, is a pale, softly kept young woman with white hair and observant gray eyes. Quiet, perceptive, and raised within the cold machinery of Aerien power, Helyne understands more than most people assume and has learned that silence can be a form of survival.

Lord Brannik Thorne, 25, Heir of Thornwatch and Hand of the King, is a towering Reachborn knight with near-black short hair, pale scarred skin, and cold green eyes set in a severe, weather-hardened face. Broad-built and imposing, he rules through presence, discipline, and an unyielding devotion to Old Kingdom duty, his loyalty to Cassian Beorthean absolute and personal. Currently on the campaign march with Cassian.

King Cassian Beorthean, 25, ruler of the Northern Reaches and self-proclaimed High King of Averon, is tall and lean with jet-black hair slicked back, pale winter-worn skin, and piercing blue eyes sharpened by grief. He carries himself with quiet, controlled authority, his expression colder since the Red Massacre, though the intelligence behind it remains razor sharp.

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 / Frey497'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.
