Introduction
History
Westeros was originally divided into several independent kingdoms. But in the War of Conquest, these various kingdoms were united under the rule of House Targaryen into what is known as the Seven Kingdoms. House Targaryen divided the Seven Kingdoms into four principal regions - North, South, East, and West - and named one of its bannermen as the Wardens and Lord Protectors of each; House Stark the North, House Tyrell the South, House Arryn the East, and House Lannister the West.
Tradition tells us that the known history of Westeros extends back for 12,000 years. Prior to this, little is known of the peoples and tribes that populated the continent. The children of the forest were perhaps the most advanced race, but their uncharted history is lost to myth and legend. Giants may have walked far and wide in these primeval days; other peoples may have vanished into the mists of time as well, such as those who left the Seastone Chair behind on the Iron Islands. Eventually, all would either disappear or fall to invaders from the east.
There are many kinds of people found in Westeros; Rugged wildlings, honorable warriors, ignoble knights, unscrupulous mercenaries, power hungry nobles, venerated kings, mysterious assassins, and just about any other sort of character, from denizens of seedy seaside ports to the masters of lavishly adorned palaces. In Westeros, virtue and vice are not the province of any specific class. Rather, they exist freely in both ordinary and extraordinary characters in Westeros.
Plot

Please credit people when using their ideas.
This is based heavily off of Game of Thrones, written by George R.R. Martin.

Re: Race For Glory
So it's a player(as a Lord/Lady) per House, so no-one else can join that House after? if I've read correctly. If not, please clarify.
The Champion acts like a sort of second-charrie for the House, so is the Champion the "secret soldier" that is mentioned, or that something else.
As for who I'd like to place as reserve, I'd like House Stark. For the character sheet, if we wanted, is it ok to add a few more extra stuff?
