WesterosLive — Player Guide

A Game of Thrones-inspired Towny RP Server

WesterosLive is Game of Thrones in Minecraft. At its heart is a custom event system: throw a tournament or stage a trial by combat. Any player who joins while an event is live spawns right there, and every event is posted automatically to Discord and the wiki. It's a mechanically difficult server — gear wears out fast, there's no enchanting, no potions, and crops grow slowly — but it avoids the grind-and-conquer culture of other experiences. There's no way to wage war to conquer other nations.

Getting Started

Connecting

Java Edition: just westeros.live — no port needed, the address resolves it automatically.
Bedrock Edition: westeros.live port 19018 — Bedrock can't auto-discover a port the way Java can, so it has to be typed in manually.
Older and newer Java client versions than the server's own all work — no need to match the server's exact version.

Economy

The currency here is Silver Stags. Check your balance with /balance, pay another player with /pay <player> <amount>, and see the richest players with /baltop. Player-run shops let you place a chest, set a buy/sell price, and other players can trade with it directly (see the Player Shops page). Voting rewards 1 Silver Stag each time — see the vote page for sites and links.

Everyday Commands

/home, /sethome, /delhome — set/teleport to/delete a home (see the Commands page for the current home limit).
/tpa <player>, /tpahere <player>, /tpaccept — request to teleport to/from another player.
/message (/whisper) — private message another player.
/warp <name> — teleport to a staff-set warp point.
/back — return to where you were before the server last moved you (e.g. join-time event routing).
/end — random-teleport to a safe spot in the End.

Playing With Friends

Invite someone to your town with /town add <player> (mayor/officer), or they can join directly with /town join <townname> if the town allows open joining. Use /tpa//tpahere to meet up quickly.

What's Different Here

No enchanting. Anvils and enchantment tables don't apply enchantments — gear stays plain, no magic swords.
No potion effects. Drinking or splashing a potion does nothing — no strength, speed, or healing potions.
No villager trading. Villagers won't open a trade menu.
No beacons. Beacon blocks can't be placed.
Tools wear out faster. Durability loss is 5x normal — gear degrades fast.
Random tick speed is reduced — set to 1 vs. vanilla's 3, so crops, saplings, and similar block ticks happen slower than regular Minecraft.

Culture & Religion

Every resident picks a culture and (optionally) a religion — pure flavor, but it shapes how your character fits into the world.

Set your religion with /resident religion set <name> (/resident religion alone views your own; a player name views theirs; clear removes it), choosing from: Faith of the Seven, Old Gods of the Forest, The Drowned Gods, R'hllor, the Lord of Light, Many-Faced God, Old Gods of Valyria.

Town leadership sets the town's culture with /town culture set <name> (clear removes it, list shows all options), choosing from: Northern, Vale, Riverland, Ironborn, Westerlands, Reachmen, Stormlands, Dornish, Crownlands, Wildlings.

House & Lineage

Every resident has a house — a name, a motto, and an optional spouse or heir — tracked with /resident house. This feeds the leader/spouse/heir info shown in town status screens and event announcements.

/resident house set name <name> — name your house (up to 12 characters; letters, numbers, and spaces only).
/resident house set motto <text> — set (or remove) a house motto (up to 8 words).
/resident house set spouse <player> — propose a marriage; remove to divorce.
/resident house set heir <player> — name a successor; remove to clear.

Banners

Start with /banner — it hands you a complete banner-making kit: a blank banner, a loom, every dye colour, and all the special patterns, so you can design your own heraldry on the spot without hunting down materials (once per day). Build your design at the loom, then hold the finished banner and run /resident house banner set to make it your house banner.

Every resident gets their own house banner — a base colour plus layered patterns, just like any Minecraft banner. /resident house banner view [player] shows a banner's design — its base colour and pattern layers — for your own house or any other resident's, and /resident house banner clear wipes yours. A town's displayed banner is always its current mayor's house banner — shown on status screens, on the live map, and in Discord event announcements.

Custom Town Roles

Mayors and town officers can hand out custom titles beyond Towny's built-in ranks with /town roles assign <player> <role> (/town roles remove <player> to take one away, /town roles list to see who holds what). Available roles: Castellan, Steward, Maester, Master-at-Arms, Captain of the Guard, Septon/Septa, Chamberlain, Marshal, Kennelmaster, Court Jester/Fool, Watch Commander.

Town Events

Town officers schedule an in-world event with /town event create <type> [delay] <description> — the delay is optional (e.g. 2h30m to start later instead of immediately), and the description must be 12–24 words. Creating an event is free. Every event runs a fixed 30 minutes, and only one event runs on the whole server at a time — check /town event upcoming for what's already booked. Cancel early with /town event cancel, check any town's current event with /town event view [town], and see the full type list with /town event list.

Event types cover tournaments and courtly drama alike: Alchemist Gathering, Archery Contest, Banner Raising Ceremony, Birthday, Carnival, Coronation, Council Meeting, Diplomatic Mission, Dragon Day Festival, Dragon Riding Ceremony, Dragonpit Summit, Feast, Fleet Review, Foreign Delegation, Funeral, Harvest Festival, Maester Conference, Market Day, Marriage, Naval Parade, Parlay, Religious Gathering, Shipbuilding Competition, Tournament, Trial By Combat, Vassal March, Wildfire Experiment. Every event auto-posts to Discord and the wiki with the town's banner and details.

Officers can also set exactly where attendees land with /town event setspawn (run at the desired location) — without one, it falls back to the town's normal spawn.

Every join or respawn checks for events server-wide: a live one takes priority, then the soonest upcoming one, then wherever the last event was held. Brand-new players get scattered to a random spot on their very first join instead, before any of this kicks in.
