Player gain tremendous flexibility from their plots with the expansion’s rookeries, and it also includes some of the most notable characters from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.
Refugees of War
The only thing worse than a long winter is a long winter of war. Brutal cold, starvation, and relentless conflict have created refugees from many of the common folk of Westeros. Now the Houses must prey upon the weak or pray to survive.
