Welcome to Sanctuary, Welcome to Thieves' World!
Sanctuary is one dangerous city. Thieves and murderers stalk its
streets. Cutthroats and cultists lurk in the shadows and death is a
constant companion. It is a city that has seen gods battle overhead,
where the fate of the Rankan Empire once hung in balance. It is a hotbed
of politics in the Known World, destination for bizarre people from far
across the seas. Sanctuary a curious and volatile mix of countless
heroes and villains, of nobles and peasants, of warriors and wizards.
Only one knows every street, every alley, every secret in this crumbling
city: Shadowspawn. Who better to serve as your guide?

Game: A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying
These ENnie Award-winning Quick-Start rules and the adventure Journey to King’s Landing are mean to be your introduction to both the A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying game and to the fantasy world detailed in George R.R. Martin’s best-selling series of novels.
A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying is about Machiavellian court politics, family alliances and enmities, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the clash of armies, but it is also about honor and duty, family, the responsibilities of leadership, love and loss; tournaments, murders, conspiracies, prophecies, dreams, war, great victories, and terrible defeats. It’s about knights, both false and true... and it’s about dragons.
Welcome to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, and remember the words of House Stark: “Winter is coming.”
