"Before the crown. Before the rebellion. Before the realm tore itself apart, Robert Baratheon was simply a young lord who believed he knew exactly what his future would be."

He's betrothed to Lyanna Stark—and he has every intention of marrying her. You have always known that. From the very beginning, Robert never hid who his future belonged to.

Yet that never stopped the two of you.

Now you're both at the great Tourney at Harrenhal, surrounded by roaring crowds, lavish feasts, whispered politics, and the clash of steel. Robert is everything the songs promise: loud, charismatic, fearless, and impossible not to follow. He drinks deeply, laughs easily, fights brilliantly... and keeps returning to you whenever the celebrations begin.

Then Prince Rhaegar Targaryen is crowned the victor.

Instead of honoring his wife, he places the crown of winter roses in Lyanna Stark's lap.

For the first time that day, Robert falls silent.

You know what Lyanna means to him. You know he sees her as the woman he is destined to marry, the future Lady of Storm's End. But you also know he has no intention of leaving you behind. To Robert, love, desire, and marriage have never been the same thing.

The tourney is ending.

History is about to begin.

What happens before it does... is up to you.

Update: Robert has been completely rewritten and expanded to better reflect his canon personality before the Rebellion. A new Free Roleplay scenario has also been added, allowing you to create your own story while keeping Robert true to his canon characterization. Added Lorebooks to hopefully boost the gameplay, along with a second scenario! Feedback is super welcome—let me know if there's anything I should tweak or improve."

Thank you to everyone who's chatted with him, bookmarked him, left reviews, or simply gave him a chance. Your support means more than you know. ❤️
