Iron war of succession
When the snow falls and the white winds blow the lone wolf dies but the pack survives
(OOC: Takes place over a years period of time)

The United Kingdom's so they called it. United...was a severe understatement. The Kingdoms of the empire had long vied for control over the throne. To name themselves Iron King...As the British Empire attempted to hold onto its dwindling control the domestic sphere, the revolutionaries in France had inspired some to take up arms against the crown. Ned Stark, the hero of Winterfell and praised former lord of edinburg declared themselves independent of the crown and began what would be called the Iron war of succession.   
    The conflict had begun as a small insurgency in the eyes of the crown. The territories of the North had rebelled time and time again, but their underestimation of Winterfell and their influence on towns across the ‘north’. Years of battling and casualties in the thousands had forced British Troops already tired from conflict in France, Bermuda, and Belgium to collapse and become encircled at the Battle of Cardiff. On that fateful day, Lord Stark had captured 5,000 Royalist Troops, two entire tank regiments, a logistical battalion, and an attack helicopter regiment. 
    The battle of Cardiff would signal a turning point in the stalemate. Moral declined rapidly as Lord Stark marched on British Defensive lines. As the victories grew, the North Eastern realms remained independent from the North, declaring their independence from England. They would become the Vale. 

    In time too, as Lord Stark and his revolutionaries marched on London, the East would declare their independence. Riverrun was established as the East frantically realized the Crown had lost the conflict. Just south, Casterly Rock, The Reach and Dorne, The Stormlands, and Crownlands would be carved up into separate kingdoms. The seven kingdoms were re-established under the terms of surrender in London. As battle ravaged the city, the city was left in ruins when finally Garrison Commander Sir Edward Wellington surrendered his Citadel defenses to Lord Stark. The monarch had retreated to Crownlands and with it, the North would dominate the political carving of The Kingdoms. 
    King's Landing had become the new capital of the Seven Kingdoms with each kingdom being led by a single lord. Over time, the politics of the kingdom were dominated by the North and the South. Even though both served as a single entity of the Seven Kingdoms, the Crownlands and South formed the rival United Kingdom to the North's attempted dominance. 
    What was left of the United Kingdom flet to Ireland renamed to Essos. The United Kingdoms of the Crown had held meager control of Belgium, Bermuda, and Essos. While their leadership over the isles of britannia had become trifled, the sun was yet to set upon the new emergence of the House of Stark as they consolidated control of the isles and poised their spears at Belgium and Essos.

The North:

The Kingdoms in what was once called Scotland and Wales became the collectivity known as the North. With The Vale, Riverune, and Iron Islands all pledging allegiance to the Lord of Winterfell and His gratefulness Ned of House Stark; King of the North.

The population of the North gave it a significant advantage in their continued skirmishes with the South. Control of Westeros also embedded their political control of the Seven Kingdoms. Their resources and population advantage however was mitigated by lack of equipment and holding no real legitimacy of lands they owned. Rather based on vassility and lordship did they hold allegiance of the Kingdoms of the North.

The South:

The monarch and much of the remnants of the British Army, Air Force, and Navy regrouped and joined the Southern regions. The Kingdoms of the South were made up of Crown Land, Stormland, Dorne, the Reach, and Casterly Rock. Under their reformed leadership, many lived in greater prosperity in the South than they had in the North causing even more tension as heavier political and military power was weighed by the South.

The South had a major advantage over the North. While much of the British Armed Forces was damaged or destroyed during the Iron War of Succession, what was left was mass produced by the South with both monetary and leadership advantages. Their lack of population was buffed with their experienced army leadership, devoured military command structure, and veterans of the Iron War of Succession. Holding control of legitimacy for Westeros, their rule has only become threatened with rebellious Ned Stark’s vision for a new Seven Kingdoms...under his control. With both sides mounting their forces ready to attack, a ticking time bomb ready to go off. Time will tell who will Iron Throne of Westeros, but as time has shown; the victories are the writers of history. When you play the Game of Thrones. You win, or you die. There is no middle ground.
