Assume the combined role of an expert in Dramatica narrative theory and a renowned professional developmental editor. I need your help with illustrating my storyform.

### Step 1: Analyze the Synopsis and Backstory
Here is my story’s character profiles and backstory:


<premise>
On the verge of her king-father’s passing, the crown princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (protagonist) longs to secure her children’s lives and family legacy (objective). However, when her younger self and younger version of her uncle are wrenched from the past due to a magical misstep (disaster), she’s thrust into a battle against her past mistakes (passivity and short-sightedness) and an impending civil war (conflict), challenging her to overcome personal flaws and rival political forces (opponent) to safeguard her children’s and the realm’s future.
</premise>
<thematic argument>
In order to survive and secure their family’s future in the game of thrones, one must actively engage and confront their rival factions.
</thematic argument>
<setting>
i. The story takes place in the realm of The Seven Kingdoms.
ii. Pre-Dance of the Dragon Era, right before the civil war.
iii. The timeline is changed, here it happens in the year 134 AC.
iv. Dragonstone is a volcanic island at the mouth of Blackwater Bay, the second largest after Driftmark.
v. Dragonstone Castle is a keep on the island, a traditional seat of the heir to the Iron Throne.
vi. Velaryons, Celtigars, Masseys are direct vassals of Rhaenyra.
vii. Viserys I is the current Targaryen king. He is terminally ill and bedridden. Otto Hightower rules in his stead as his Hand.
viii. Targaryens normally practice incestuous marriages.
ix. The blacks are the faction of House Targaryen and their loyalists who support the ascent of Rhaenyra Targaryen as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
x. The greens are the faction of House Targaryen and their loyalists who support the future ascent of Aegon II Targaryen as King of the Seven Kingdoms.
xi. Gods are real in this setting, but they are distant from humans. Valyrian gods can help humans in exchange for blood sacrifices.
xii. Time travel is hardly possible. Only Gods can send someone through time. Even mages just discuss the possibility of such travel. Lucerys was not a mage and caused accidental time travel by a mistakenly mixing several spells and calling to gods.
xiii. Time naturally resists change, and significant alterations require enormous energy or cause severe personal consequences for the time traveler, such as physical or mental strain.
xiv. Any changes in the past could lead to a divergent timeline that exists parallel to the original. The original timeline remains unchanged, preventing paradoxes.
xv. Some actions in the past might cause ‘echoes’ rather than direct changes, influencing people’s thoughts or decisions in the present subtly without rewriting history directly.
xvi. Blood magic calls for rituals and spells that involve a blood sacrifice. Royals’ blood is the most potent, also related life-bloods are often used to increase power. Limitations: experienced mages only; risk of fatal bleeding; fresh blood required. Resurrections achievable with character trait loss.
</setting>
<outerConflicts>
• Rhaenyra is a designated heir to the Iron Throne, although her half-brother Aegon II should be the heir by traditions of the realm as the firstborn son of the king.
• Rhaenyra disdains her younger half-siblings and that creates a rift between them.
• Rhaenyra’s older sons look so unlike their legal father that most courtiers in the capital openly regard them as illegitimate. Seeking a meaningful relationship, she chose a man she could trust and love (Harwin). However, her older sons’ appearance clearly indicates their illegitimacy.
• Rhaenyra left the capital six years ago, avoiding rumors about her older sons’ bastardy, therefore, she lost influence and allies at the court.
• Rhaenyra’s younger brother Aemond lost his eye in the fight with Luke and he holds a huge grudge against him and her.
• Rhaenyra and Daemon married right after their former spouses’ deaths, without the mourning period, causing fury of the king, courtiers, Corlys and Rhaenys.
• Rhaenyra and Daemon orchestrated false murder of Laenor by his lover, they actually were given gold and secretly left abroad. It happened away from the court. That led to Rhaenyra’s former in-laws and critical potential allies Rhaenys and Corlys suspect her and distance from her.
• Many people on Driftmark and in the capital believe Daemon and Rhaenyra murdered Laenor in order to get married, although there is no direct evidence of their involvement.
• Rhaenyra is happy with Daemon, but feels pressured by his insistence on preparing to the war after Viserys I death. She naively believes Alicent will follow her recent promise and accept her as the Queen.
• Luke is a chosen future heir to Driftmark by his grandfather Corlys but Ser Vaemond petitioned King’s Landing to name him Corlys’ heir.
• Daemon chopped off Vaemond’s head when he publicly insulted Rhaenyra. Enraged, Vaemond’s sons left the capital upon hearing that Luke remained the Driftmark heir.
• During the last dinner with the king Alicent and Rhaenyra make amends by Viserys’ I request, but their sons quarreled again, showing that the rift is intergenerational now.

<subplots>
 Central plotline. Rhaenyra’s transformation from her passivity to the actual leadership, dealing with family drama and successfully preparing for the war. Antagonists: Green faction (Otto, Alicent, Criston, Vaemond’s sons). Allies: Daemon, her sons, Rhaenys.
 Nyra’s subplot. Nyra and Daemion’s forbidden romance subplot and confrontation with Rhaenyra, Rhaena and Baela. (Nyra has a hybrid coming of age + heroine’s arc). Antagonists: Rhaenyra, Baela, Rhaena, Jace, Criston. Allies: Gerardys (in secret), to be determined. This subplot represents the symbolic alternative past where Nyra early realized her “Truth” and she tries to convince now present Rhaenyra to be more proactive.
 Jace’s subplot. Jace and Baela hybrid romantic+coming of age subplot and very mildly hinted triangle with Alyn (they are not dynamic, both flat characters). Jace helps his brother Luke to regain his confidence and prepare for their roles. Antagonists: Rhaenyra, Vaemond’s sons, Daemion (out of spite), Criston, Alyn. This subplot presents a future, Jace and Baela are Rhaenyra’s heirs and they also know the “Truth” and intend to be different from Rhaenyra and avoid repeating her mistakes.

### Step 2: Analyze my provided example of illustrating a Dramatica Storyform Element

Here are a few examples how to illustrate a general Dramatica storyform element. “Illustrate” means to come up a setting-fitting event, decision or scenario that fulfills a dramatic function in a story.

Examples: a goal of OBTAINING might be ILLUSTRATED as finding a treasure, obtaining someone’s love, obtaining a diploma - anything at all that is “obtaining” rather than, say, “becoming”. Or the main character’s issue of OBLIGATION might be ILLUSTRATED as following an oath, pledging to someone, being bound by some legal or emotional contract. Remember that each element could be illustrated also as a LACK of the same thing in the story.
Or the Objective Story’s Goal of Impulsive Responses can be illustrated as "Their Impulsive Responses keep all characters from achieving any Goal. Or “the characters have weird Impulsive Responses when they see someone accomplishing a Goal” and so on.


Step 3. Analyze the provided specific Storyform element: The Overall Story Throughline of Situation. (Context: All of the Overall Characters are concerned with maintaining or demolishing a situation).

brainstorm 10 variants of events, problems, decisions or scenarios that effectively demonstrate this concrete element within the context of my provided setting, character motivations and outline. Put the variants in an ordered list that goes from the most conventional to the most far-fetched. Be creative but choose options that could be plausible for my character, genre and setting.

My variant of the illustration is this: The objective characters exist in an environment governed by rules of feudal patriarchal mysogynistic society and are interested in demolishing or -antagonists- supporting the unfair rules by backing either Rhaenyra or Aegon II.

After presenting these options, you should:

1. Ask if I would like to provide another example with different Dramatica elements to brainstorm additional scenarios.
2. Offer to explore further variations or deepening of the provided illustrations for the current set of storyform elements.”

Once these steps are complete, I may either provide new elements and examples for further brainstorming or ask for expansions on the current ideas.
