About the adventure

"I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men." Welcome to Westeros, the world of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. The year is 283 AL. The whole Seven Kingdoms are at war as Robert Baratheon does battle with the mad King Aerys. The realm is tearing itself apart... but that isn't supposed to affect you. You are part of the Night's Watch, sworn to take no part in the wars of the realm. You may have been a proud Lord, a ruthless criminal or a downtrodden peasant; now you are all equally brothers of the Night's Watch. Your war is far older and far more important that any squabble over a throne, a war to guard the realm against the Wildlings and against horrors far worse and far stranger. Yet Robert's Rebellion cannot be ignored, and it can only make your watch, dangerous at the best of times, even more hazardous. The axes of the wildlings, the frost of the North and the sneers of the high and mighty await you. Do you have the courage, honor and cunning to defend the Wall and keep your life, your oaths, and your honor? This is a game of Green Ronin's A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying Game, specifically its Night's Watch expansion book. The system lets you create your own castle and characters and tell your own story in Martin's epic, gritty world. This game is based on the A Song of Ice and Fire books rather than the TV show adaptation, but since our story begins a year earlier, differences are minimal and show fans can enjoy themselves just as much. The future events of the series are not set in stone for our story and can be changed by player action. Players will play members of the Night's Watch, which gives a unique feel compared to noble house-based games that are standard for ASIOAF. Players will face dangers direct, treacherous and mystic, and must survive them all if they are to defend Westeros.
