Disruptor Beam previews the story that will unfold in upcoming social game Game of Thrones Ascent.
There are also larger scale challenges in which battles are fought. One could enter tense trade negotiations, commit truly daring subterfuge, or host a raucous feast. You must complete these challenges in a set time, but you may always tackle an obstacle with battle, intrigue or trade options as conflicts emerge. These challenges will grow more difficult, and you may find it worthwhile to invite your friends to help out. You may want to help your friends in return – or backstab them when they least expect it.
Some events are so large in scale that they affect all of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. These world-spanning conflicts will require everyone in the realm to contribute Sworn Swords and equipment in order to gain collective benefits or avert an epic disaster before time runs out. After all, if Wildlings amass north of the Wall, all nobles should band together to send aid to the Night’s Watch. And the one who contributes the most may earn a very special reward…
As a Westerosi noble, your word is law, so you will have many decisions to make. In these tense moments, you can gain more information before settling on an appropriate course of action – but you proceed with the knowledge that what you decide now could determine how others will treat you in the future.
A council of trusted advisors will be on hand to offer you their opinions on the issues you face. The spymaster Rona Grey knows that little in this world is secure, which is why you should place your flesh and blood above all else. On the other hand, Captain of the Guard Ser Hugo Flint advocates for placing the realm above all, for families may rise and fall but the Seven Kingdoms must endure. The cunning bailiff Simon Groat will always suggest that the path to success are smiles and withheld knowledge, while the candid merchant Alvyn of Oldtown believes that honesty breeds stronger and safer ties. Septa Eleanor speaks of her dedication to chivalry and the Faith, while Gammer Wilde adheres instead to the old traditions of the First Men. Whenever you ask, they will provide their opinions – but only you can choose a path. The ultimate decision always rests with you.
As you vie for power in Westeros, the kingdom begins to come apart. Animosity and bloodshed arise between Starks and Lannisters, rumors swirl of Targaryens gaining allies across the Narrow Sea, and new kings step forward to lay claim to the Iron Throne. There is struggle in this game of thrones, but also opportunity. The choices you make are yours alone. But so are the consequences.”
