Call Of The Wilds {an "A Game Of Thrones" mod Roleplay Fanfiction}

[Das Boot]

This is my first crack at a CKII letsplay, so patience is appreciated.

The premise of this fiction is that Jon Snow became a deserter and joined Mance Ryder's Army. I will see how I can take things from there, and hopefully get a good story out of it. I'll try to be regular about my postings, so nobody will have to wait around too much.

Rules:

No God Moding - While I will use cheats, I will only do so lightly. It wouldn't make sense for Jon Snow to wake up one day and decide he likes being cruel, nor would it make sense for Jon Snow to have a high opinion of someone without becoming that person's friend. So if the game decides to do that I will need to do a veto. But that's it: no unlimited money, no unlimited prestige, etc.

No Changing The Past - I will only jump back to previous saves if something happens as a result of me being a dumbass. If fate just plays Jon Snow a bad card, I will be forced to accept it.

Chapter I
Part 1: Prologue

Hesitantly, I walked into the large tent that belonged to The King Beyond The Wall. Mance Ryder, a former Black Brother and a current Deserter.

Truth be told, I know not why he summoned me here. I hope he does not suspect me of retaining loyalty to The Night's Watch. I know I should have killed him the first chance I got; I would have died myself, but without him keeping these wildlings together the threat to The Wall would have been finished.

"Jon, It's good you came. You're probably wondering why I called you in?"

I let him continue speaking.

"The Winters are getting colder, and we are beset by The Others. That is why we are marching south: because if we don't, we'll die. Our only choice will be to take shelter behind The Wall, and that means fighting our way over it. I have a special task for you, but I'll need to be sure you're all in. Can I trust you?"

I have been living with these wildlings for so long that I am starting to wonder if they are really in the wrong. They are people trying to survive a disaster.

Meanwhile, The Night's Watch has done little but dissapoint me. I began to have my doubts when I learned that The Watch was allied with Craster even despite his daugher-raping and his son-murdering, and I am beginning to suspect that The Watch sent my uncle Benjan to die. But it was not until I met actual Free Folk, when I met Ygritte, that I began to have my doubts.

Now with The Others baring down on us and no move being made by The Night's Watch to stop them, I feel my hand is forced. I must become a true Deserter.

"Yes, you can trust me."

Mance smiled. "Good. I want you to take command of the village of Skirling Pass."

I guess Now My Watch Has Ended.

Chapter I
Part 2: Preparing for War.

I was sent to Skirling Pass with a handful of men and with instructions to fortify the pass. Needless to say I was afraid, but with Ygritte by my side I felt I could accomplish anything. In fact, I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life. I know I had taken a vow never to marry, but I am a deserter either way so it is not as though I have anything to lose.

I raced her to The Weirwood tree and we said the words. Once that was done we made love beneath the trees branches. We were married now.

The first thing I accopmlished was putting my men to work raising troops and funds. I had to get them working quickly as time was scarce.

When next I heard from Mance, an envoy riding ahead of his host informed me that he was raising taxes imposed upon the clans. No doubt as a means of raising much-needed funds.

This was followed a few days later by Mance's Host itself. I gathered up as many people as I could, and Joined with the thousands of others in Mance's horde. Ygritte of course insisted she accompany me, and as I know argewing with her would be an excersies in futility I had to let her come. Though truth be told, I was glad to have her with me through this.

One night, I asked her if she might wish to have children. "I would be willing to, but only if they are yours."
