“Lyanna’s Legacy”
Setting: 325 AC, Westeros, eight years after the death of Daenerys Targaryen during childbirth to Lyanna
Targaryen, the secret daughter of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen.
Summary:
Twenty years of peace and in the wake of Daenerys Targaryen’s death, her young daughter, Lyanna, named after Jon
Snow’s mother becomes a living symbol of two great legacies: the Stark blood of Winterfell and
the Targaryen fire of Old Valyria. The fragile peace under King Bran Stark is threatened as
rumors of the child spread. Loyalists to House Targaryen begin to rally, seeking to crown Lyanna
as queen, while enemies of the Targaryens work to ensure the child never reaches adulthood.
Jon Snow, torn between his duty and guilt, entrusts the child to his Northern allies, but her very
existence is a threat to the stability of the realm. The players are drawn into this dangerous web
of loyalty, intrigue, and survival, tasked with shaping the fate of Lyanna—and Westeros.
