A Game of Sex (a high fantasy open post)

[moosejuice]

a vaguely Game of Thrones-based smut meme Today, the Hotel is no longer a catacomb of halls and empty rooms. Gone are the lights, the beds, the bountiful facilities - even its coherence as one place. Instead, it is now a sprawling continent, from hulking mountains in the cold north to the deep oceans on the shore, all with its own history. This land is called Eros. Eros is not unlike the feuding era of Europe's dark ages, complete with lords, ladies, and knights. However, this land also has differences. Magic once existed here - magic powered by worship of the arcane gods and indulgences of carnal desire - and even know, there are whispers of strange creatures out in the wastes, only held back by the bravery of a few dedicated watchmen. Yet this is not the only turmoil. Once, ages ago, the country was divided, all lands ruled by different great families and those loyal to them. Then, that age was shattered by an invasion of a warlord king and his sister-wives, bringing along with them terrible creatures. Dragons, they say. One by one, the kings of old bent the knee...and bent over to show their loyalty. For, as has been previously implied, sex is the number one commodity in Eros, and the very air the inhabitants breath and the very food they eat conditions them for it. It is a form of worship, a show of fealty, the way to assume guest's rights within a home, a way to seal alliances, through marriages and producing heirs, and even, in some places, a form of currency. From a young age, noble and lowborn children alike are taught its importance. Still, there are taboos: relations between classes and between family members are strictly forbidden and monogamy is encouraged among women. The anti-incest sentiment is particularly strong, considering that the conquering race practiced it without discretion. This inbreeding led to madness, which itself ultimately led to overthrow. Now, a new king reigns in Eros, yet things are not peaceful. The great houses are restless under this rule, the king's house is rotting from within, and machinations behind the scenes are always vying for new power. The world's a dangerous place, no matter who you are. And what are you? You believe you belong here, that you've been in this world your entire life, but your position could be anything from lord to peasant, from priestess to whore, from knight to watched. One thing is certain, however. The name of the game is sex, and in the game of sex, you fuck or you die. ( prompts and etc behind here )
