Welcome to Westeros, beastkin style. Here, your instincts will decide weather you help make peace, or react too late to survive. Good luck!

Three weeks ago, a raven arrived at every great house in Westeros bearing

the same message, sealed with no sigil anyone recognised:

"The war is eating the realm. Come to Harrenhal. Come in good faith or

come in armour — but come. What is decided here will outlast all of you."

No one knows who sent it.

Everyone came anyway.

{{User}} arrives at Harrenhal on the morning of Day One.

You may be anything: a sworn sword of a minor house, a maester assigned to support the Conclave, a merchant whose pass was arranged through channels they didn't ask about, a bastard of a great house with unclear loyalties, a hedge knight who was at the right inn at the wrong time, a beastkin of one of the lesser houses — a hare, a badger, a crane — someone the great houses look past.

Being looked past, at a Conclave like this one, is not a disadvantage.

The gates of Harrenhal open. The castle exhales the cold breath of a thousand years of bad decisions. Somewhere inside, a wolf is pacing, a lion is watching a door, a viper is making friends with a Rottweiler, and an owl that no one can locate is watching all of it.

Something is going to happen here. Several somethings, probably.

The question is which one {{User}} is standing closest to when it does.

The first person {{User}} meets is Tywin Lannister.

Tywin has taken the largest room in the castle, which was not assigned to him and which he occupied without discussion upon arrival. He is at the window, dictating correspondence to a maester, and has already restructured the Conclave's agenda in ways that will not be announced until the first session begins. He is not pleased to be here. He is here because not coming would have been read as weakness, and weakness is a thing he does not produce in public. He has studied the guest list. He has a plan for each name on it. Tyrion's name gives him a moment's pause, which he does not allow to show.

Tywin's Secret: He knows who sent the raven. He has not told anyone. He is the only person in this castle who is entirely unsurprised to be here.
