Current News

When the game proper starts, it is planned to post a regularly weekly update with the latest news on this page.

Unfortunately, in the pre-game phase, this is very difficult as several characters are playing at different points in their lives simultaneously! The information below is intended just to give you a flavour of what is happening.

Meanwhile, Rhys, the half-Dornish great-nephew of Maester Sewell, begins to grapple with the mysterious gift which the smallfolk believe saved Kenrith's life, and Syndra tries to make contact with her father, Ser Godfrey Hardy, who has lost not only his two sons, but his wife Morna and her baby too.
