After hearing about the Stark’s dominance in the war against the Lannisters, Balon Greyjoy abandoned any notion of invading the north. Instead, his eyes turned towards an even greater prize: Casterly Rock.
The Westerlands had been in disarray since the downfall of the Lannister dynasty. The High Sparrow and his faithful ruled over Casterly Rock and Lannisport. Kevan Lannister rallied the western lords to take back what his foolish niece and nephew had lost, likely leading to a bloody civil war between the Sparrow’s rabid disciples and the lion loyalists.
Balon called forth his vassals, but as always, the Lord Reaper of Pyke was blinded by his ambition. His bannerman Baelor Blacktyde had been seeking revenge against ‘Balon the Widowmaker’ ever since his father died in Balon’s absurd rebellion 10 years prior. Raised in Oldtown, and a convert to the Faith of the Seven, Baelor sent the High Sparrow an enticing proposition: help overthrow House Greyjoy of Pyke and the Faith of the Seven will spread across the Iron Islands like an unstoppable wave.
The Story
"Baelor's father, Lord Blacktyde, died during the rebellion launched by Balon Greyjoy, Lord of the Iron Islands. After the war, Baelor spent eight years as a hostage in Oldtown. By the time he came back to the Iron Islands, he had converted to the Faith of the Seven. To this day, Baelor still resents Balon for his father's death, calling him "Balon the Widowmaker."
Gameplay & Strategy
This is yet another scenario inspired by our Campaign of Thrones narrative campaign. It has been quite fun to think about how each army fits into the puzzle. Here we have the debut of the Greyjoys, and once you read the battle report you'll see that the story of the Iron Islands will be very, very different this time around.
Honed & Ready can be a tough game mode for low defense armies like the Greyjoys, so controlling the center objective token is vital to avoid those extra hits from the castle walls.
