Disruptor Beam previews the story that will unfold in upcoming social game Game of Thrones Ascent.
He’s looking for a boy named Derryk. He’s a prostitute’s son, so you visit a brothel in King’s Landing, but the boy and his mother are nowhere to be found. You do learn that he has black hair, and that he is somewhere near your holdings.
Little did you know that such a simple request would place you at the heart of treachery. How could you expect to be caught up so quickly in a struggle for power among the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms?
If you are familiar with Westeros, you know that treachery and danger lurk in the land. Game of Thrones Ascent will take you there. The storyline is spun alongside the events of “A Song of Ice and Fire” as written by George R.R. Martin and depicted by HBO. Disruptor Beam has partnered with both to craft a twisting storyline that progresses with each decision you make. In Game of Thrones Ascent, you’ll play as a newly minted noble who rises to power during the events that lead to the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings.
There are several ways to gain the power necessary to face oncoming threats. To start, you may construct a smithy, market, or embassy to increase the likelihood of success while on quests. These same buildings also produce new gear for equipping your own character or your company of Sworn Swords. As the lord or lady of your holdings, sending these Sworn Swords to help or hinder other nobles will gain you rewards for your successes. With the silver you receive, purchase newer equipment in the shop or collect the raw materials necessary to craft it yourself. As you participate in more adventures, exploring the many regions of Westeros, you’ll gain both silver and crafting resources to continually fuel your rise to power.
Sometimes a job requires a hired yet trustworthy hand. One of your Sworn Swords can approach the problem with a blade, a whispered word, or promise of favors. The instructions you give to your Sworn Sword may have consequences later. They leave your holding for a time, returning to inform you of the outcome of the endeavor. Do they return healthy bearing news of success, return wounded with the tale of a vicious encounter, or do they die following your orders? The better trained your Sworn Sword and the better their equipment, the higher their chance of success and the greater your opportunity for large rewards.
