In a world where strength is measured in ranks—Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the lost realm of Demigod—Westeros stands on the brink of an ancient reckoning.
Thousands of years ago, during the Age of Heroes, legends such as Brandon the Builder and the Children of the Forest sealed a monstrous Gate in the far North—an abyss from which abominations poured into the world. They could not destroy what lay beyond it. They could only seal it.
But seals weaken. And history repeats.
A prophetic dream once drove Aegon the Conqueror to unite the Seven Kingdoms, foreseeing a doom that would one day return. That doom now stirs again.
The Gate trembles.
As monsters begin to emerge from hidden rifts across Westeros, open wars between kingdoms become impossible. The great houses must stand together or fall alone. Silver-ranked warriors awaken their elemental masteries—fire, frost, storm, forest, earth, and wind—while a new generation of prodigies rises, each carrying the potential to reach the legendary Golden rank.
At the center of it all stands Jon Snow, known by his true name Aemon Targaryen—a young warrior who awakens both fire and frost within his blood. Neither Stark nor Targaryen alone, but the living bridge between ice and flame, he alone may hold the key to transcending Gold and reaching the long-lost Demigod realm.
Yet he will not stand alone.
Prodigies like Aegon Targaryen, Robb Stark, Loras Tyrell, and others rise beside him, each mastering their elements as the Gate’s corruption spreads. Ancient prophecies resurface. The truth behind Valyria’s Doom is revealed—not merely a volcanic disaster, but another Gate that consumed an empire too arrogant to understand it.
To close the Gate of Winter, sacrifice will be required.
To destroy what lies beyond it, something greater than a Golden warrior must awaken.
And if Jon fails… Westeros will not fall to kings or war—
It will fall to the dark beyond the Gate. (Rheager wins AU)
