elcome to the land of Westeros where the Lords and Ladies travel far and wide. From Dorne and Highgarden to the free city of Bravos. The rich merchants from Slaver's Bay, now renamed the Bay of Dragons. Even those from the far North come down to King's Landing, but they don't fare well in the Capital. No one really visits the Iron Islands for the weather is also cold and dreary and the people living there are rather savage in their behavior. Not many pass through the Bloody Gate in the Vale either, since Lady Arryn... Well, let's say that particular House has lost all its marbles.

The Lords and Ladies like to show off what they own. However, there are a few things they forget. Dragons still exist. The Red Woman, a witch, is also around in every corner of the country, and the Citadel holds all the stories and secrets of this world. If you're lucky enough to know a Maester, you'd know that Aegon Targaryen... Oh, wait. That story we'll leave for some other time.

Come. Come! Explore. Make yourself somewhat comfortable if you dare.

he Citadel might be full of old men who've never seen the world but they have written each and everyone's story. The Master Of Whispers with a very good education if you will. They have written anything and everything possible. They've kept track of their bowel movements to how many stairs the Citadel has, and everything in between. They heal the sick, whenever they're not sick themselves and congratulate each other on writings well done.

Sadly, in your case, you have yet to reach that level of intellect and therefore are subject to scrutiny and tedious tasks. I hope you enjoy. Being a Maester takes finesse!

This is your choice

You can pick whichever task you'd like

Nice part: you don't have to do any if you don't want to

Once you complete a task, you cannot do it again

Each task has the assigned points for its completion

You can pick a task, complete it, then post it

You don't have to make an announcement

Just let us know which task # you have completed and add necessary information required for it

Tedious Citadel Tasks ▼

o one thought that the dragons still existed, yet here we are! They aren't only flying around Westeros but all over Writing.com as well. They multiply like bunnies from what I can gather. Nevertheless, these beautiful beasts don't abide by anyone's rules but their own. And their Queen Mother, of course, whenever they care to listen. These dragons are fully grown now but there are stories. I only wish I knew a Maester who could tell me those stories.

Approach A Dragon ▼

owever adorable those flying monsters are, we are mere humans and can only dream of their adventures. We rely on food and drink to sustain us, not fanciful stories of old. In the land of Westeros, there's a feast for everything. A wedding at every corner. Perhaps you were invited to one or ten and could tell us, peasants, what it was like, what it tasted like. After all, we are considered fools in the eyes of the Lords and Ladies. We're here for their entertainment only.

You're Cordially Invited ▼

omewhere, everywhere, within the rich man's walls, hides a witch or two. A person who is capable of creating various potions. Questions are never asked but we, the peasants, suspect foul play among those who call themselves royalty. A request here and there. A love potion or something which would cause a quick trip to the privy. All sorts of things you can imagine. Their hatred amongst each other grows fonder every day. Those who know how to create such wonders, marvel at their own magic, rather than being worried where such potions could lead. Such as widow's blood, wolfsbane, essence of nightshade, sweetsleep, tears of Lys, demon's dance, blind eye, and lets not forget our favorite, the long farewell. There was also something called wildfire but no one really knows how it is created. If only we, the peasants, knew these secrets...
