Finding your next obsession

Winter is coming.
Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Friction between the houses leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north. Amidst the war, a neglected military order of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy horrors beyond.
LUXEN Decision Guide
Game of Thrones begins as a political fantasy about competing families and gradually expands into a much larger struggle over power, loyalty, and survival. Its early strength comes from making information itself a source of tension: characters often act on incomplete knowledge, and the audience has to track competing motives.
