In Bannerlords you recreate yourself as a citizen of Westeros. When you first join the game your first task will be to select a race (purely aesthetic). Once that is selected, picking the skills you want to focus on, religion you want to follow or the company you want to keep is completely up to you. 


Houses and Nations

Bannerlords has three sets of  social structures complimenting diplomacy, intrigue and war amongst all three. Houses are the smallest and most basic system of government, free to make and the possible way to protect your lands (remember to check out "Citadel" within the spawning room). Nations can have many Houses within them, making them the many ambitious players goals. Nations can "officially" ally, and declare war on each other making micromanaging a large group much easier.

After all, who doesn't like to be king?


Religion

Each citizen in Westeros has the right to worship whichever god he or she chooses. Citizens can marry, pray to the gods for rewards and blessings or take to the cloth and become a priest if the gods allow it.


Mercantilism

Each region in Westeros has a market hub for great riches to be made or lost within the merchants tents. Most won't take time to learn but for those willing to take the risk, mountains of gold could be made. Some say power can't be bought, but Westeros has seen many a traders prove them wrong.
