Basic Gameplay Overview
The world of Westeros is wracked with war, intrigue, and strife. The Great Houses muster armies and meet in titanic battles, while their assassins and spies struggle in the shadows.
Under the wounded pride, Will could sense something else in the older man. You could taste it; a nervous tension that came perilous close to fear. –George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
“I shall have to borrow the money. No doubt the Lannisters will be accommodating. We owe Lord Tywin some three million dragons at present, what matter another hundred thousand?” –George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
“I must have the gold cloaks. The City Watch is two thousand strong, sworn to defend the castle, the city, and the king's peace.” –George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
“You should have taken the realm for yourself. It was there for the taking. Jaime told me how you found him on the Iron Throne the day King's Landing fell, and made him yield it up. That was your moment. All you needed to do was climb those steps, and sit. Such a sad mistake.” –George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
Those who dwell in the north of Westeros can be as harsh and cold as winter itself, but words like honor and trust still have meaning there.

Every time she looked at Ser Ilyn Payne, she shivered. He made her feel as though something dead was slithering over her naked skin. –George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
The comet’s tail spread across the dawn, a red slash that bled above the crags of Dragonstone like a wound in the pink and purple sky. –George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
"Viserys sold my mother's crown, and men called him a beggar. I shall keep this one, so men will call me a queen." And so she did, though the weight of it made her neck ache. –George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
No one would admit to being afraid—they were men of the Night's Watch, after all—but Jon could feel the unease. Four empty villages, no wildlings anywhere, even the game seemingly fled. The haunted forest had never seemed more haunted. –George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
“My brother is undoubtedly arrogant,” Tyrion Lannister replied. “My father is the soul of avarice, and my sweet sister Cersei lusts for power with every waking breath. I, however, am innocent as a little lamb.” –George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
“Valar morghulis,” she said once more, and the stranger in Jaqen's clothes bowed to her and stalked off through the darkness, cloak swirling. She was alone with the dead men. –George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
“The Red God has his due, sweet girl, and only death may pay for life. This girl took three that were his. This girl must give three in their places. Speak the names, and a man will do the rest.” –George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
Davos could make out the striped hulls of Salladhor Saan's ships beyond, but he knew he would never reach them. A wall of red-hot steel, blazing wood, and swirling green flame stretched before him.
