What if Rhaegar Targaryen had slain Robert Baratheon in the battle of the Trident, then, facing outrageous odds, fled with Lillian Stark to Essos? Eddard Stark might then have stormed King’s Landing.

These vignettes can be great for a climactic moment that isn’t in direct sight of any of the main cast of characters. Some of these characters may recur over & over again, and some might be one-scene only. These should be RP heavy, and meant mainly for narrative purposes. One alternative is to have minor vignettes that start & finish your game. This is a tall order for most DMs and players, as some games tend to struggle for survival with just one cast of characters. Exploring the Unknown : Places like the Basilisk Isles, Sothoryos, or even the ruins of Valyria could bring new threats and mysteries.Essos – There are many exotic locations on this continent -some we’ve seen in detail like Qarth and Meereen- but other cities like Braavos and Myr haven’t been well explored yet.This means their general feeling is open to lots of interpretation.
