Dynasties

A Dynasty is the occurrence of when three or more Monarchs originate from the same House. To date, there has been three Dynasties through the entire history of the Seven Kingdoms.
== The First Targaryen Dynasty, 33AB-85AB ==
The First Targaryen Dynasty is widely regarded as the best of the three Dynasties, as it had arisen during a time when Politics, Roleplay and Activity were either practiced or abundant. The Dynasty was started by Small Councillor John Drumm and Crown Prince Aegon Targaryen who had proposed the idea to King Rhaegar I Targaryen, who approved the idea and started the lineage of four Targaryen Kings.
The Targaryen Dynasty lasted from 33AB to 85AB, approximately 52 years, and the next Dynasty would occur 151 years later.
=== King Rhaegar I Targaryen, 33AB-57AB ===
=== King Jaehaerys II Targaryen, 57AB-59AB ===
=== King Aegon VI Targaryen, 59AB-79AB ===
=== King Daemon II Targaryen, 79AB-85AB ===
== The Brightstone Dynasty, 236AB-271AB ==
The Brightstone Dynasty is widely regarded as the worst of the three Dynasties, as it began passing around the Crown and changing Rulers extremely quickly in order to artificially inflate the length of the dynasty. This had the effect of devaluing the aura of being the Monarch, as well as extreme incompetence and negligence from Innovativemind and the Genre Administration for the Genres well-being. The Dynasty was started by King Royland Brightstone, who achieved the Crown by honest means through the Brightstone Conquest. By the end of it, it became universally disliked as House Brightstone was considered by many to be a scrim clan.
While this is true, it is also is somewhat (but not entirely) inaccurate. House Brightstone absolutely took part in the lore of Game of Thrones, but they had done so in a way that manipulated it (i.e a false dynasty, a replacement of the monarchs with a council of Brightstone rulers, etc) to the point it was not really even the genre anymore. Much of the history during the Brightstone era is also either grossly exaggerated (i.e King Albion Brightstone) or completely manufactured (completely baseless). As such, much of the history during this time must be taken with a grain of salt. 
The dislike for the House was also exasperated by the many rumors of exploiting during battles in countless wars. This contempt was only justified when House Brightstone was caught exploiting during a battle in a war during the reign of King Java Brightstone (Javar the Cheat). Unlike the Targaryen Dynasty, which had almost entirely different members at the beginning of King Rhaegar I Targaryen's reign compared to the end of King Daemon II Targaryen's reign, the vast majority of the dynasty shared the exact same members for the entire reign of the House, which means it is extremely probable that, if other times of them cheating had more proof (recordings, screenshots, gifs) during previous reigns, it invalidates much if not virtually all of the entire Dynasty. The Brightstone Dynasty lasted from 236AB to 271AB, approximately 35 years, and the next Dynasty would occur immediately after, in 274AB.

=== King Albion Brightstone, 250AB-251AB ===
=== King Lyonel Brightstone, 251AB-252AB ===
=== King Jakor Brightstone, 252AB-253AB ===
=== King Damon I Brightstone, 253AB-253AB ===

=== Queen Allyria Brightstone, 270AB-271AB ===
== The Dayne Dynasty, 274AB-286AB, 303AB-314AB ==
The Dayne Dynasty is one of interest, as the first half is almost in perfect contrast to the second half. This Dynasty is also not technically a dynasty, as unlike with the previous two dynasties, the order of succession was not synchronous. The House Dayne of the first half was in no way related to the House Dayne of the second half. Through pure coincidence, the Dynasty just so happened to continue due to House Lannister's victory in the War of Eight Kings and their appointment of House Dayne as the Crown House. This sort of act had never occurred in the history of the Genre. Even more oddly, the second half had used family names that the first half had used, so there was also a continuance of family name lineage... also by coincidence.
The Dayne Dynasty lasted for approximately 23 years, as the 17 years from 286AB to 303AB are not counted due to both the Great Vacancy and the War of Eight Kings.
=== King Beric II Dayne, 274AB-276AB ===

== Near-Dynasties ==
A Near-Dynasty is the occurrence of when approximately 2 preceding and succeeding Monarchs originate from the same House, with the exception of dynasties of 3 or more if under extraordinary circumstances. These are not considered actual Dynasties, but are still noteworthy in their own right. The following will be listed in chronological order.
== The Baratheon Reigns, 1AB-14AB, 16AB-24AB ==
Note: there was no Monarch from 0AB to 1AB as this period of 1 real week / 1 lore year was the setting up of the Genre by Innovativemind.
This near dynasty lasted for 22 years, 1 year less than a true Dynasty in the Dayne Dynasty, which had 5 separate Monarchs as opposed to the Baratheon's 2. This shows the significant changes in the length of monarchs. The addition of the battle map allowed for true map strategy and tactics, which had made it so that a simple mistake of misplacement of an army can be extremely costly. This has been proven to be a legitimate reason for the shorter reigns, as countless Kings have made a poor army movement only for them to be outmanned in a battle and are then deposed. It's very possible that if back in 2015 the battle map was a factor, that many of the long reigning Monarchs would have had much shorter survival times.
It may also be possible that due to back in 2015, the Game of Thrones genre was very novel, as in something new to experience. Politics were a legitimate factor back then as well, and in more recent times, many people have experienced nearly every aspect and as such, the feeling of rulership has unfortunately worn off. This may change back to the way it was in later days, though. We can't all stay and do this forever, and eventually the young kids will need to replace us, and experience with joy for the first time what we did, the immersion of a role-play community.
Either that, or the community truly dies... which may very well be happening, unfortunately.
=== King Robert I Baratheon, 1AB-14AB ===
=== The War of Four Kings, 14AB-16AB ===
=== King Stannis Baratheon, 16AB-24AB ===
== The Harlaw Reigns, 222AB-231AB ==
=== King Rodrick Harlaw, 222AB-224AB ===
=== King Yohn Harlaw, 224AB-231AB ===

=== King Arthur III Dayne, 326AB-327AB ===
=== King Davos I Dayne, 327AB-331AB ===
== The Greyjoy Reigns, 332AB-337AB ==
NOTE: Due to King Euron I's double rulership, this is one example of an extraordinary circumstance which allows the Greyjoys to be classified as a near-dynasty rather than an actual dynasty. The length of its total reign did not and would not be a factor in deciding this.
=== King Euron I Greyjoy (1), 332AB-334AB ===
=== King Victarion I Greyjoy, 334AB-335AB ===
=== King Euron I Greyjoy (2), 335AB-337AB ===
== The Lannister Reigns, 350AB-356AB ==
NOTE: Due to King Euron I's double rulership, this is one example of an extraordinary circumstance which allows the Greyjoys to be classified as a near-dynasty rather than an actual dynasty. The length of its total reign did not and would not be a factor in deciding this.
=== King Tywin II Lannister, 350AB-354AB ===
=== King Jaime Lannister, 354AB-356AB ===
