2- Riverrun
3- The Eyrie
4- The Iron Islands
5- Casterly Rock
6- High Garden
7- Storm's End
8- Dorne
9- Dragonstone

The worst part about finding some of those maps is that, apparently, the others have been lost due to the creators' deactivated DeviantArt account.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Riverrun and Dragonstone aren't kingdoms.

Yup. Riverrun was historically part of the same Kingdom as the Iron Islands, and Dragonstone is simply the place where the Valyrians landed. :nerd:

In other news, I'm running a SOIAF pen and paper rpg now. 10x :nerd:

How is that system?  Been meaning to track down a copy of the books.

There are two systems - one is a d20 (Game of Thrones), which I dislike. The other is the one made by Green Ronin and it is pretty good ("roll and keep", if you are familiar with the principle) - also it has awesome House creation system. My players are House Colworth, located in the Dornish Marches, and sworn bannermen to House Tarly of Horn Hill (with Blackmonts to the South and Carons to the East). It's fun.  :menace:

Nice.  I liked what Green Ronin did with Warhammer.  I'll definitely have to nab myself a copy.

Omg, it's awesome. I'm so going to use it in my game - all houses' locations!  :showoff:

I can send you a link (ahem).

Btw, did Green Ronin make a new Warhammer? I'm using the one from the Black Industries. Is there something new.

They were a bridge gap between the old system and Black Industries I believe, with Black Industries using a lot of their changes.  A link would be greatly appreciated. :ph34r:

It even has some of the destroyed houses marked on the map with their coat of arms upside-down.

I'm poking through the small scenes that have been painted throughout the map now.  Gregor's on there, for instance, as are king Aerys and others.

What didn't you like about the d20 system? I have pretty good memories of it.
