The Hymn of Winter is a free to play interactive novel thatâs set within the world of ASoIF (Game of Thrones). With the premise being centered around a simple question; what if the wall had fallen before?
Winter is hereâŠ
The WallâŠ
A marvel of construction that many donât know the true origins ofâ besides what is written in legendâ and the true purpose having been lost to time.
You were among the few chosen to guard itâ the Nightâs Watchâ a task that you were never sure how to respond to; as you werenât quite sure if the Wall needed any guarding to begin with.
That is until you step out beyond it. Until you come face-to-face with chilling blue eyes that you know, with complete certainty, that you werenât there to guard the wall; you were there to guard Westeros and be the first line of defense against the monstrosities that lay beyond.
You were the siren that would kick Westeros into action.
You just hope that everyone will be prepared when Winter arrives.

Demo TBA
The youngest heir to the Iron Throne; Rhaegar/Rhaella are known far and wide for their beauty and prowess in battle. However, no one ever truly sees the youngest heir as they mainly keep to themselvesâ unless their training with their tutorsâ or theyâre with their dragon; Aegarax. His shadow passing over Kingâs Landing at dawn and not returning until dusk.
Will you be the one to finally pull them out of their self imposed exile? Or will they forever be a phantom that ghosts across the Red Keep?
One of the only people to believe that you hadnât abandoned the Watch. Dorren/Dorea stopped their father from enacting the punishment such a crime deserved; their steel grey eyes never wavered from yours as they offered you their hand. With a gentle smile, a playful demeanor, and a carefree countenance; you were surprised with how fearsome they could become when pushed.
Will you be the thing theyâve been searching for their entire life? Or will their search have to continue on?
With a standoffish demeanor, acidic words, and flippant attitude; not many can get close to the heir of the Lannister family. Cerion/Cera arenât known for their patience with people but the moment they met you they found something special within you. If nothing else they find your tales quite amusing and wish to learn more about them.
Will you see through their mask of spite? Or will it forever be something that bars them from the world?
An quick witted individual that finds life to be filled with possibilities; having come to Kingâs Landing with their older brother for a marriage proposal. Arienn/Arienna isnât one to let the world weigh them down; instead they try to fill with laughter and cheer. People die enough already as it is.
Will you finally give them a reason to smile too?
Your fellow member of the Nightâs Watchâ one of the only people that stayed behind on the venture to the beyondâ and one that youâve never particularly gotten along with. Their silver tongue, flirty attitude, and general attitude towards life clashing with your own personality. However, you need them now as much as they need you. You just hope that you donât kill one another by the end of it.
Will you settle your differences? Or will they be the thing that forever keeps you apart?
Does your Rhaegar/Rhaella also sings and play music? đ
They can but theyâre not keen on doing it in front of people. Youâd mostly catch them singing soft tunes to Aegarax (with his head near their leg) and if they didnât know you were there.
I'm confused. How many centuries before GoT/ASOIAF the game will be set? Iron throne is like 3 hundred years old. And how can we be female in Night's watch?
This is set a few years after Aegonâs reign ended.
Why not? This is an IF story that I hold no claim to the original canon. Iâm pretty sure the ROs werenât actual characters either. Itâs just fiction that makes it easier for you all to play. (As the story would be severely affected if you all couldnât choose.)
Though I understand the need to ask the question â„ïž
I didn't even watch or read GoT but I'm SO ready for your game, good luck writing it and don't forget to drink water <3
Iâm so happy to hear that đ
I definitely think youâll enjoy it even if you donât know all of the loreâ or referencesâ behind it. As Iâm trying to make it a game where you donât have to know ASoIF or GoT to be able to enjoy it.
Hi. Gonna romance Rhaegar so hard. Love the premise. Love the author. End of message.
And I love you too â„ïž. Youâre definitely one of the reasons I took the plunge and decided to post this. So thank you for enjoying the premise of this story (and believing in me).
I know that Rhaegar is going to be honored that you chose him to love!
