 **The point where the forks of The Trident come together is impassable completely, meaning the Riverlands do not border Harrenhal and Riverrun does not border the Kingsroad.

 #The regular rules of Diplomacy apply, except where amended below.
 #The game begins in Spring 298 AL (Aegon's Landing). The terms Spring, Summer, Fall, Autumn, and Winter will continue to be used to avoid confusion despite the fact that in this universe seasons are actually longer than years. And so the player of House Stark can frequently remind everyone that Winter Is Coming.

 ===House Targaryen (Dragon)===
 The Targaryens are the blood of the dragon, descended from the high lords of the ancient freehold of Valyria, their heritage proclaimed in a striking (some say inhuman) beauty, with lilac or indigo or violet eyes and hair of silver-gold or platinum white. Aegon the Dragon's ancestors escaped the Doom of Valyria and the chaos and slaughter that followed to settle on Dragonstone, a rocky island in the narrow sea. It was from there that Aegon and his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys sailed to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. To preserve the blood royal and keep it pure, House Targaryen has often followed the Valyrian custom of wedding brother to sister. Aegon himself took both his sisters to wife, and fathered sons on each. The Targaryen banner is a three-headed dragon, red on black, the three heads representing Aegon and his sisters. The Targaryen words are ''Fire and Blood''. House Targaryen begins with a fleet on Dragonstone and an army in Pentos.
-===House Tyrell (Flower/Green)===
+===House Tyrell (Flower)===
 The Tyrells rose to power as stewards to the Kings of the Reach, whose domain included the fertile plains Dornish marches and Blackwater Rush to the shores of the Sunset Sea. Through the female line, they claim descent from Garth Greenhand, gardener king of the First Men, who wore a crown of vines and flowers and made the land bloom. When King Mern, last of the old line, perished on the Field of Fire, his steward Harlen Tyrell surrendered Highgarden to Aegon Targaryen, pledging fealty. Aegon granted him the castle and dominion over the Reach. The Tyrell sigil is a golden rose on a grass-green field. Their words are ''Growing Strong''. House Tyrell begins with a fleet in The Arbor and armies in Highgarden and Oldtown.

 *As the seat of the Iron Throne and capital of the Seven Kingdoms, King's Landing is more important than a normal supply center.  Therefore, it can supply two units, and is counted as two supply centers when determining if the victory criterion has been fulfilled.
 *At the beginning of the game, the power in King's Landing is split, and it supplies the Baratheon army in the Kingswood and the Lannister army in the Crownlands.
-*No House may build in King's Landing. House Baratheon and House Lannister may instead build, for the rest of the game, in the first neutral supply center they capture. If they first capture more than one at the same time, they must specify during the winter of assimilation which they will be choosing as a future build site.
+*No House may build in King's Landing.
 *The supplies of King's Landing must be assimilated one at a time. Therefore, if a House that has no ownership of King's Landing occupies it at the end of an Autumn, it assimilates only one supply center. If the House wants to assimilate the other, it must ensure that it has a unit in King's Landing at the end of the following Autumn.
 *If a House which controls neither of King's Landing's supplies occupies it at the end of an Autumn, and King's Landing's supplies are split between two houses, the occupying house must specify from which House they are taking supply in King's Landing.

 House Lannister starts with a fleet in Lannisport and armies in the Crownlands and Casterly Rock.
 ===House Martell (Sun)===
-Nymeria, the warrior queen of the Rhoyne, brought her ten thousand ships to land in Dorne, the southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms, and took Lord Mors Martell to husband. With her help, he vanquished his rivals to rule all Dorne. The Rhoynar influence remains strong. Thus Dornish rulers style themselves "Prince" rather than "King". Under Dornish law, lands and titles pass to the eldest child, not the eldest male. Dorne, alone of the Seven Kingdoms, was never conquered by Aegon the Dragon. It was not permanently joined to the realm until two hundred years later, and then by marriage and treaty, not the sword. Peaceable King Daeron II succeeded where the warriors had failed by wedding the Dornish princess Myriah and giving his own sister in marriage to the reigning Prince of Dorne. The Martell banner is a red sun pierced by a golden spear. Their words are ''Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken''.

 ===House Stark (Direwolf)===
-The Starks trace their descent from Brandon the Builder and the ancient Kings of Winter. For thousands of years, they ruled from Winterfell as Kings of the North, until Torrhen Stark, the King Who Knelt, chose to swear fealty to Aegon the Dragon rather than give battle. Their blazon is a grey direwolf on an ice-white field. The Stark words are ''Winter Is Coming''.

 *All game territories are marked by their name.  Any territory or island that is not marked with a name (such as Tarth and Skagos) is not a playable territory in the game.

 *Empty supply centers are signified by a large black dot; owned supply centers are signified by the owning House's sigil covering the black dot.
 ===Rivers===
-*Rivers act as the border / part of the border between territories if the appropriate section of the river traverses the entire span between two drawn borders (black lines) or ends into a drawn border.
+*Westeros has many rivers running all over, and many borders between territories approximate the locations of these rivers.  However, all but the following three rivers have been removed from the map for the sake of clarity:
-*The only two exceptions to the above are Oldtown and Starfall, which both straddle rivers just at their respective mouths.
+*The Trident
-*Rivers may always be crossed by armies as if they were normal land borders, with the one exception of the fork of The Trident. The fork of The Trident is impassable, meaning that the Riverlands do not border Harrenhal and Riverrun does not border the Kingsroad.
+**The Trident and its forks are drawn in dark blue to signify that it is not navigable. That is, Riverrun and the Kingsroad cannot be occupied by ships at all, and the Riverlands only have a west coast (bordering Ironman's Bay).
