Lords and ladies, Courtiers and Confidants! Lend us your ears, for a tale of ambition, intrigue, and the unshakable bonds of sisterhood unfolds within the Red Keep! What began as a young princess’s dream has blossomed into the most formidable assembly of women in the realm; a Court of Love, Beauty, and Power, where loyalty is forged through wit, influence, and an unyielding devotion to their Queen.

Since her youth, Rhaenyra Targaryen has surrounded herself with a dazzling array of ladies-in-waiting, close companions, and trusted advisors, crafting a circle so grand it rivals even the fabled court of Good Queen Alysanne. Twice as large and half as nice, the Queen’s Ladies have become an institution unto themselves, a sisterhood bound not only by duty but by a lifetime of shared triumphs, secrets, and schemes.

But it was as Hand of the King that Rhaenyra’s ambitions truly took flight. Ever in pursuit of worthy allies, she gathered to her side Lady Cissy Grafton, Lady Elinda Massey, Lady Willow Fossoway, and Lady Daisy Connington. These four women became the foundation of her reign—Cissy, a scholar of unmatched intellect; Elinda, a master of jewels, gossip, and courtly charm; Willow, a musician whose talent and charisma could bend even the coldest hearts; and Daisy, a woman of unshakable strength, whose keen intuition and negotiation skills have earned her whispers of being Jason Lannister’s true equal.

Now, as Queen, Rhaenyra’s reach extends further still. In the past year, she has drawn three of the kingdom’s most renowned ladies into her inner circle—Lady Rowena Melcolm, the sharp-tongued, sharper-witted Lady of Customs in the Vale, finally granted her long-deserved place at court; Lady Meliana Dustin, the breathtaking beauty of Barrowton, who shatters all preconceptions of Northern women while proving her fortitude rivals even her fiercest kin; and Lady Argella Selmy, a dancer and patron of the arts who has turned the Red Keep into the most resplendent court Westeros has seen in a generation.

At five-and-ten, Rhaenyra once vowed she would build a court to rival her Queen-Stepmother’s and eclipse even the memory of Good Queen Alysanne’s. Now, love her or hate her, friend or foe, all of Westeros agrees: she has succeeded beyond her wildest dreams.

Come, noble players, and claim your place among the Queen’s Ladies!

Lords and ladies, scholars and schemers! Gather close, for within the halls of Oldtown, where the light of knowledge burns brightest, shadows of ambition stretch ever longer. House Hightower—proud, powerful, and perilously poised—stands at a crossroads. Theirs is an ancient legacy, entwined with the Faith, the Citadel, and the Crown itself, yet the question remains: will they be the architects of the realm’s future, or relics of a past no longer in their grasp?

At the heart of it all is Lord Lyonel Hightower, a man whose every step must balance duty and desire. His marriage to Lady Sam, bold and unconventional, has stirred more than whispers, it has divided his own family. Some see in their union a necessary shift, an embrace of strength outside the rigid confines of tradition. Others see a threat to propriety, a risk to the very foundation of their House’s influence. Lyonel’s siblings, his steadfast brother, his sharp-witted sisters, watch closely, some with approval, others with unease. What does love mean when weighed against legacy? What is loyalty worth when it stands in opposition to ambition?

Power, after all, is the Hightower’s true inheritance. As Lords of Oldtown, they do not simply hold influence; they are influence. They walk a tightrope between the Faith, the Citadel, and the noble houses of Westeros, wielding their station like a sword even as they remain ever at risk of being cut by it. Where can they push, and where must they yield? Can they truly shape the institutions they have long been bound to, or will they find themselves outmaneuvered by forces older and more insidious than even their ambitions?

And then, there is the question of the future.

Some whisper that the Hightowers have fallen out of favor with the Crown, but what is favor when you can build power beyond it? If the Iron Throne does not serve their ends, then where else must they turn? What alliances must be forged, what gambits played, and what risks taken? They have seen the failures of Otto and of Ormund, failures that proved that proximity to power is no guarantee of keeping it. So what comes next? And how do they ensure they remain at the center of it all, while still paying, at least in appearance, the necessary respects to House Tyrell and the Crown?

Come, noble players, and take your place in House Hightower’s ever-turning game.

Play Lyonel Hightower, the lord who must balance love, legacy, and the weight of Oldtown’s future upon his shoulders.

Play Joy Hightower, Lyonel and Sam’s daughter, born of an unconventional match—what will she make of her parents’ choices, and how will she navigate the expectations set upon her?

Play Martyn Hightower, Lyonel’s brother, loyal and calculating—does he stand by Lyonel’s vision, or does he seek a different path for their House?

Play Rosey Mullendore, née Hightower, Lyonel’s sister, a woman married into another noble house, yet forever tied to the fate of her own.

Play Aladore Merryweather, husband to Bethany Hightower—what does he make of the shifting tides of power in Oldtown?

Play Garth Mullendore, Rosey’s husband, a player in his own right—does he further the Hightowers' ambitions, or seek to twist them to his own ends?

Create new characters—a clever maester with secrets of his own, a Faithful zealot who sees House Hightower as either salvation or corruption, a merchant prince whose gold could tip the scales, or a rival lord seeking to outmaneuver them all.
