Though it is properly known as the Stone Way, the great road that leads through the nigh-impenetrable Dornish Marches mountains is best known as the Boneway, for the many armies that have clashed there over the generations, and the bones of thousands upon thousands of soldiers that lie there.

This is the story of those Houses who lay claim to domains within the Marches along the Boneway, and who are charged with its first line of defense.

Updated Rules for the Chronicle

  • Abilities
    • Languages, regardless of Rank only ever cost 10xp per rank to raise.


  • Character Goals, Motiviations, Virtues and Vices with respect to Intrigues
    • Unfortunately this was a section that was largely ignored during Character Creation of the current chronicle. The following rules will be employed during Jack's Next Arc (Unless Dave wants to include them)
      • Each Character will select 1 item from each of the Tables found on pg 47 of the main rule book. The have the following impact on Intrigues:
      • Goal: If the opponent knows your Goal and offers to aid you in completing your Goal, You reduce your DR toward that character by 1. Example: Bob Snow knows that Lord Larry's Goal is to seduce a young serving girl into his bed. Bob offers to help Lord Larry with that endeavor but wants more coin for his service. During this Bargin Intrigue, Lord Larry reduces his DR toward Bob Snow by 1 because Bob is offering to aid him. This reduction would not apply if Bob was unaware of Lord Larry's desire for the woman.
      • Motivations: In an opponent knows what motivates you, they can be more influential. If your Intrigue opponent is aware of your Motivation and uses that knowledge during an Intrigue, they increase their degree of success by 1.
      • Virtue: If your opponent is aware of your Virtue and uses that information during an Intrigue, they gain +3 to the result of any technique
      • Vice: If your opponent is aware of your Vice and uses that information during an Intrigue, they increase their Base Influence by 1.
    • Discovering Goals, Motivations, Virtue and Vice
      • Discovering a characters Goal is a Cunning Test (Logic Applies), with a difficulty of the target's passive Cunning. This test can be made anytime after initial introductions are made, so long as the characters have interacted within the last Month.
      • Discovering a Characters Motivation requires an Awareness (Empathy Applies) with a Difficulty of the targets's passive Deception.
      • Discovering a Characters Virtue and Vice are more difficult. For this chronicle it will be Knowledge (Streetwise) or Status (Breeding) with a difficulty of Formidable (12). Different Social levels make this test more difficult. For each point that the target's Status is different than yours (up or down) increase the difficulty by +3. Example. If Bob Snow (Status 1) attempts to discover Lord Larry's (Status 4) Virtue, his test would be at a Heroic (21). 3 times 3 (difference between 4 and 1) + 12.


  • Benefits
    • The Sponsor Benefit now functions as follows: You gain +2 Intrigue Defense against Character who hail from the same Region as your Sponsor, and whose Status is equal to or less than yours. Unless otherwise determined by the Narrator, this has no effect on Characters with a Status of 1.


  • Weapon Qualties
    • Ignite: When attacking the character hits and thier Attack result is greater than the target’s Passive Agility (Dodge) then its’ victim is also set alight as if the target had been struck by a pot of Wildfire. The victim takes 2D6 Damage each round for 1D6 rounds, ignoring Armor Rating. Damage from Ignite is considered to have the Vicious Quality.


  • House Holdings and Investments
    • The Spy Network Personage Wealth Holding now works as follows: Each time the Connections Benefit of a cell of spies is employed, the Character who controls the Network must succeed at a Challenging (9) Cunning Test. Every 5 full points over 30 of Law in the Domain where the Spies are operating increases the Difficulty by +3. On a success, the Connection Benefit applies in that Domain. For every two degrees of success beyond the first, that Connections Benefit also grants a static +1 bonus to Streetwise Tests made for that Domain. Failure means the Spies fail to uncover any useful information. The Target House may attempt to discover the Spies in their midst. This is a Cunning Test whose difficult is the Spy Master's Cunning Result to activate the Cell. Should the target House succeed, the spies are caught and killed and the Spy Master's House suffers Influence Resource Loss of 1d3+3.
    • The Sabotage Plot (House Action add the following: If the Target was Wealth Holding, a successful test disrupts the Holding in question and it provides no benefit to their owning House of a number of Months equal to the Degrees scored. Land Holding may no longer be specifically targeted. If the Target was a Defensive Holding, reduce the Combat Defense Bonus that Defense Holding provides garrisoned units by 1 per degree of success. This effect lasts until the owning House invests one point of Defense Resource into that Holding through a House Action, with a minimum of one month. If a Power Holding is targeted, the unit suffers -1D Penalty to all tests for the next month, per degree scored. If this penalty equals or exceeds the Units Endurance Ranks, that unit cannot be deployed during Warfare Scale Battle.
    • The Assassination Plot (House Action) add the following: The target Character suffers a 5 Damage per degree of success scored on the Master's Cunning Test. This damage cannot be reduced with Armor, Injuries or Wounds. If the damage exceeds the Characters Health they are slain. Primary Characters may burn a Destiny Point to avoid this fate, but must immediately take a suitable Drawback.
