Treaties, Alliances, Dragons, and Betrayal The Excitement of Days of Ice and Fire 2012 Begins This Friday
“Be at my tent by midday. I want you there with my other officers when I treat with the sellsword captains.” Dany spurred her silver on to camp.
Within the perimeter the Unsullied had established, the tents were going up in orderly rows, with her own tall golden pavilion at the center. A second encampment lay close beyond her own.
–George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords
The Great Houses of Westeros have all sent their emissaries to steer the events transpiring in Essos in their favor. Now, as those agents sail across the Narrow Sea to arrive at the Fantasy Flight Games, their actions will write the dramatic tale of Days of Ice and Fire 2012!
Days of Ice and Fire 2012 begins this Friday, May 18th. Will you meet your foes on the field of battle? Will you form alliances with other houses to topple a common enemy? Or will you sit quietly at the edge of events as the other Houses stumble into your snares?
