One Crown fits poorly on the two heads of the Royal House Lannister-Targaryen. In the West, King Damon rules from his father’s throne in Casterly Rock, and in the East, Queen Danae rules from the Red Keep of her ancestors. Between them, the fifteen-year-old facade of their unity, and the kingdoms it held together, have begun to crumble. In an effort to strengthen the Crown of Westeros, a Great Council has been called. All the prominent houses of the realm flock to Harrenhal to witness the beginning of the next chapter of the Seven Kingdoms.

The North

The domain of Lord Paramount Jojen Stark has been wracked by loss, war and betrayal. The King-Beyond-The-Wall was defeated after a long, bloody fight, only for Androw Manderly to betray his liege, threatening the life of Lord Stark’s children.

Now, Manderly lies dead, throat torn by direwolves, and a weakened White Harbour is led by his sister. The Lord of Winterfell secludes himself to mourn the family that the years have taken from him.

Westerlands

Tensions heighten in the shadow of Casterly Rock, as King Damon Lannister faces criticism on all sides. Conspiracies are whispered and knives sharpened in the halls of the Rock and in the streets of Lannisport alike, with only a handful of fragile, unlikely alliances to keep them at bay.

Most contentious of the issues facing the King is the increasingly public influence of his mistress, the Lady Joanna Plumm – the subject of much resentment and admiration from many sides of the Kingdoms.

Riverlands

Lord Paramount Brynden Frey stands over a wounded realm, the victor of a brutal civil war that had hoped to take his hard-earned position. His anger simmers, while his beaten foes ready themselves for the crescendo of his wrath.

Amidst this, Lord Frey must prepare the great castle of Harrenhal to receive the realm itself as his friend, the King, calls for this Council.

The Vale

In the high mountains of the Vale, the young Lord Paramount Theon Arryn must take up his power as his uncle Nate relinquishes his regency, while still watching over the boy as he steps into this new stage in his lordship and life.

The rest of the Vale stands steady, secure and as isolated as ever, waiting to judge their new leader.

The Reach

The Reach still limps in the memory of the receding Winter’s famine. Lady Paramount Ashara sits in the Hightower, watching every shadow for signs of dissent or disloyalty, her husband Gerold newly back by her side.

Diplomacy with Dorne has turned sour following the suspect death of Lord Olyvar Tyrell, and many marcher lords cannot help but wonder if war lies on the horizon.

Crownlands

With the King away, courtly life continues under Queen Danae Targaryen, the memory of Myles Celtigar’s rebellion fading into idle gossip. The Royal family flourishes, with four heirs securing the succession, though they are split between the royal households.

The departure of King Damon is a source of both comfort and unrest, with the unpopular Western courtiers being bid good riddance, but the Dragon Queen proving much less approachable than her husband.

Stormlands

After years of abuse under House Connington’s power, the Stormlands were consumed by civil war, incited by Lord Uthor Dondarrion to cast down the house of Griffons in vengeance for the death of his son. With Queen Danae’s support, Orys Connington and his family were defeated.

Now, as the battlefield embers cool, Ser Willas Estermont, son of the Crown’s Hand, has been granted Storm’s End and the title of Lord Paramount. This controversial appointment may sow resentment among his newly war-hardened vassals.

The Iron Islands

The Isles stand as a ship uncaptained. With House Greyjoy scattered to the wind and its matriarch dead, the adolescent Dalton Greyjoy chafes under a regency of the Drowned Priest Urron.

Amid the isles, numerous lords see opportunity in this power vacuum, with a variety of plans simmering in the iron-grey fog, while others seek fortune across the Narrow Sea.

Dorne

An attempt to destabilise Sarella Martell’s rule by her longtime rival King Damon failed, leaving a refugee population of Pentoshi scattered and blunted, but native egos bruised.

The Dornish Princess moves to unite her vassals – and remind them that it’s she who holds the sword of Damocles above their heads – by gathering the kingdom into a caravan that will arrive ensemble for the Great Council.
