History Fanfic / ForumOfThrones

* CatchPhrase: Aside from the house words, several characters have recurring catch-phrases.
** Maron Mullendore has a tendency to say "All will be well", describing his overall positive outlook on the future. [[spoiler: It is also a major clue about his true identity.]]
** "The Night is dark and full of terrors", as spoken by the resident Melisandre-{{Expy}} Noelle.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The SiblingTeam of the Breaker brothers consists of the experienced and hardened raider Torvin as the [[RatedMForManly Manly Man]] and his thoughtful, cultivated and sophisticated brother Garthon as the sensitive guy.

* BladeOnAStick: Ilhan's weapon of choice is a supremely crafted spear, a family heirloom.

* WhipItGood: Abbas is constantly seen with a whip close to him. Fitting, considering that he is a slaver.

* BadassBaritone:
** Daghan Oxus is mentioned to have an extremely deep and guttural voice and it only further solidifies him as a major badass.
** Bear, leader of the Band of Claws, speaks in a deep, low growl most of the time.
* BadassBoast: Again, in a work of such length, there's guaranteed to be quite a couple of them.

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: Willfred Reyne is a naturally talented fighter for sure, but his status as the heir to Castamere gave him access to training that really unlocked his true potential.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: John's Gutters.

* BareYourMidriff: Alysanne's clothes typically have this. It is decidedly not for {{Fanservice}} though, but rather out of the practical reason that it allows her to move more freely and also to give more room to the bandages that cover up the burn scars on her lower torso.

* CoitusEnsues: The sex between Lucas and Lunett came just seconds after they confessed their feelings for each other. That said, it is a [[JustifiedTrope justified]] version of this trope, since both acted entirely hormon-driven and were not much older than teenagers.

* AmbiguousDisorder: It is clear that something is not right with the sons of Harren Hoare. Harmund is likely a [[TheSociopath sociopath]], whereas Harlan and Harndon's psychological profiles are way more complex. Whatever they had to suffer at the hands of their older brother left deep scars though and they are certainly not mentally healthy.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: The Ironborn are strong believers in this creed. It proves to be a problem for their king, Harren Hoare, whom many see as weak because he does not personally lead raiding parties like many kings before him did. To gain the respect of his men, he has no other choice but to rule his subjects through brutish force.

** His daughter Argella is not much different. Physically, she is not particularly strong, but ever since she became the crown princess, her father subjected her to a rigorous training, to make sure that the future queen of the Stormlands is able to hold her own in any fight.
** Willfred Reyne is a naturally talented fighter for sure, but his status as the heir to Castamere gave him access to training that really unlocked his true potential.

** Kersea has repeated flashes of guilt whenever she is forced to do someting particularly bad in her work for Clayton.

* CoolPet: Aldrik Wolver owns a pet direwolf, who goes by the name of Knightfang.

** Samantha Ducard, the [[DualWielding dual]] [[AnAxeToGrind axe-wielding]] sellsword from John Gutten's group and one of the primary Point-of-View characters.

* AnAxeToGrind: Several characters have chosen the axe as their weapon of choice.
** Samantha Ducard is the most major character who wields an axe as her weapon of choice. [[DualWielding Two axes in fact]], small hatchets, but she still puts them to good use.
** Leonard Hill wields a massive battleaxe, befitting of his status as a badass.
** Cleaver Clint Volmark uses a variation of the typical axe, an oversized meat cleaver, which also gave him his nickname.
** During the Raid on Maybros, Durren Stallhart is shown fighting with [[DualWielding two axes at once]].

* InSeriesNickname: Plenty of characters use a nickname in the story, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname sometimes they are even exclusively known by them]]. Examples include [[TheCaligula Harren "The Black" Hoare]], Argilac "The Arrogant" Durrandon, [[BearsAreBadNews Bear]], [[BigCreepyCrawlies Roach]], [[NobleDemon Arkan "The Burned Man" Gorys]], [[DrillSergeantNasty Ilhan "The Impaler" Lagoon]], [[NobleTopEnforcer Samuel "The Fang of Shadows" Harrington]], [[HunterOfMonsters Vaasrand "The Serpent" of Lys]], [[AnAxeToGrind Tedyn "The Axeman" Bullister]], [[BloodKnight "Bloody" Brandon Frey]], [[RapePillageAndBurn "Cleaver" Clint Volmark]], [[GentlemanThief Keat "The Trickster"]], [[CloudCuckoolander Dimitri "The Wise"]], [[BastardBastard Rodrik "The Kinslayer" Stone]], as well as [[spoiler: [[WellIntentionedExtremist Maron "Butterfly" Mullendore]].]]

* WeaponOfChoice:

''Forum of Thrones'' by [=LiquidChicagoTed=] is an ongoing ElsewhereFic set in the world of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''/''Series/GameOfThrones''. It takes place roughly 300 years before the main events of the novels and the series, during the period that would later be known as The War of Conquest. Starting shortly before the beginning of the war, the initial main setting of the story deals primarily with a SuccessionCrisis in the city of Raylansfair in the Kingdom of the Reach, where Lord Robert Raylan, the last of his line, dies without naming an heir, leaving the rich and strategically important city to be preyed upon by several interested parties, each with their own distinct motives and personalities. That said, the narrative eventually expands to feature locations across all of Westeros and beyond, telling a story of epic scales through the eyes of over two dozen Point-Of-View characters, as one of the most important moments of Westerosi history unfolds before their eyes.

** In return, the ambassador should have known better but to insult the Storm Princess in front of her [[PapaWolf father]]. To his defense, he comes from a completely different culture and never intended to insult her. [[WhatAnIdiot But still, that man is an ambassador, so he should have known better]].

* AwesomeMcCoolName: This is Westeros after all, where a couple of very cool names are typical. Prominent examples include Argilac Durrandon and his daughter, Argella Durrandon, Gordar Celtigar and Rahaerys Velaryon, Daghan Oxus, Arryk Bulwer, Damon Greyjoy, Baelor Bloodbane, Lupin Frostborn and Darko Mogfield.

** Lenrianda is, by all means, a female version of I'lian, UpToEleven. She even snarks just a after nearly being killed and lying in her bed with a serious concussion.

** Harren Hoare takes this trope UpToEleven and combines it with EvilIsHammy. He seems to revel in his ability to paint himself almost as a larger-than-life personality in the presence of his followers. What little we get to see of him in private indicates that it is only partially an act.

** Butterfly himself takes this UpToEleven. He is a crude {{Jerkass}} who spends his entire introductory scene insulting Harpy, mostly for her mixed heritage.

* [[ScyllaAndCharybdis Between A Rock And A Hard Place]]: Many of the choices are this, forcing the readers to choose between two mutually exclusive options, sometimes having to consider their priorities or which option is the lesser evil.

* [[WarriorPrince Warrior Princess]]: Argella Durrandon proves herself to be every bit her [[MemeticBadass father's]] daughter when she personally leads the Stormlander charge against the Ironborn during the raid on Raylansfair.

* KnifeNut:
** Wolfius and Kreep both fight with knives.
** Terroma has taught his pupils to fight with daggers, as they are easily hidden and precisely because they are not particularly handy in large fights, which forces the user to avoid blood baths. Kersea and Raenna show tremendous skill with them. Clayton however averts this, as he switched to a more practical sword in a fight, indicating that he abandoned his master's teachings.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Oh dear god, yes. As a result of allowing readers to submit characters, the number of characters reaches several hundred in Book 1 alone, with hundreds more not even introduced yet. Book 1 alone features 21 Point-of-View characters.

* AdultFear: A major topic in the storylines of Richard and Lyria. Both are heavily concerned with the well-being of their daughters, only to see them targeted by a dangerous psychopath in the form of Wolfius Woodbark, someone who is inherently more powerful than either of them.

This fanfiction gets it slightly unusual name due to its origin. Written on the [[Creator/TelltaleGames Telltale forums]], alongside several other fanfictions set in the worlds of the [[VideoGame/TheWalkingDead more]] [[VideoGame/TheWolfAmongUs recent]] [[VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands Telltale]] [[VideoGame/TelltalesGameOfThrones games]], Forum of Thrones was the first of its kind that appeared in the Game of Thrones subsection of the forums, therefore taking up on the mantle of Forum of Thrones. Starting in late December 2014, it consisted of over a thousand pages about two years later and it is still far from finished, with roughly one third of the planned material having been written so far. It is noted to be very active, with long updates several times a week.

* BadassInDistress: Leonard, who is a supreme swordsman, able to hold his own against [[MemeticBadass Samuel Harrington]], finds himself in distress in the early Chapter 5, when he is wounded and tied up by the corrupt city guard of Oldtown. [[spoiler: [[Main/BigDamnHeroes Luckily for him, Samantha and Sasha come to the rescue not long afterwards]].]]

** Wolfius is a [[{{Sadist}} sadist]] who loves to cause as much harm as possible to his victims, even ignoring his own safety or easy ways to get rid of potential dangers in the process.

* ForgingTheWill: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when Maester Eaton is tempted to do this when a dying Robert dictates his final will. He decides not to go through with it.

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Subverted with the two Ghiscari slavers Abbas and Bakr, who are, at worst, the [[TokenEvilTeammate Token Evil Teammates]] to the Burned Man and his organization.

** After hearing about his tragic past and learning more of his HiddenDepths, Samantha starts to sympathize with the [[SmugSnake smug]] {{Jerkass}} Jaylon.

* OutnumberedSibling: Jenna Harking has three older brothers and she's the only girl. The same applies to Argella Durrandon, who had three older brothers. Myles Cerwyn has three sisters as revealed in his biography, while Lord Edmyn Tully also has three daughters and one son.

* PapaWolf: Argilac Durrandons most redeeming an most terrifying trait is his unquestionable love for his daughter, Argella. A threat to her, even just a perceived threat, or an insult, is met with brutal force. Additionally, Argella is one of the few peopl who know a far softer side of him.

* BaldOfAwesome: Daghan Oxus and Ilhan Lagoon are completely bald and completely awesome.
* BaldOfEvil: Rodrik Stone is the prime example of this in the story.

* BadassBeard: Many characters in the story have a beard and are badass. It is probably easier to list the bearded characters who are not a badass. The most badassly bearded characters in the story are arguably Jarow, Argilac Durrandon and Orys Baratheon.

* BadassMustache: John Gutten and Durren Stallhart's facial hair of choice.

* NotSoDifferent: Samantha realizes that she and Jaylon have quite a lot in common when he reveals his DarkAndTroubledPast to her.

* RealityEnsues: Lucas and Jaron both get a good dose of this during their stay in Oldtown, when their more naive beliefs are confronted with the cold reality of a ViceCity.
