How hard a seat here is to take

A siege grinds a seat's garrison durability to zero before it changes hands — never in one blow. Full durability by tier, for the tiers standing in Essos: Holdfast 100, Great Castle 300. A seat freshly taken starts above that floor and digs in further the longer its new holder keeps it, so a region settles rather than churning hands every hour.

Its lore, names and artwork are original or used under CC0/CC-BY/OFL licences (see the in-game Credits). The community section also hosts unofficial fan tributes — quizzes and diversions made for fun, not part of the game — which name other fictional worlds under their own labels and are likewise not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to their rights holders.
