Mount and Blade II, the sequel to TaleWorlds Entertainment’s medieval combat and role-playing game, takes place in a world with an empire torn apart by civil war and factions vying for power. Such a setting feels only slightly removed from The Known World, where George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones takes place. A team of mod makers, collectively known as “KingOfTheNorth” on Nexus Mods, are making a mod that will allow players to forge their own destiny in the world of Game of Thrones.
The mod, known as Trial of the Seven Kingdoms, is a total conversion mod that changes the world of Mount and Blade II into that of Game of Thrones. Released on December 27th last year, this mod takes place around the beginning of The War of the Five Kings, which takes place after the first book/season. With the death of Ned Stark, bannermen are flocking to their lieges to support them as they battle to see who will claim the Iron Throne.
So far, the mod is primarily based in Westeros, but it’s likely that more factions and areas will be added as the mod develops. The mod’s page states that this mod is a “huge work in progress that is playable in its current state.” KingOfTheNorth says that the map is a work in progress that’s about 75% complete and that some house members will need their appearances changed or be added to the mod.
The Trial of the Seven Kingdoms mod is currently available to download on Nexus Mods. It has a dedicated Discord server where you can talk about the mod or report bugs and other issues. As for the base game, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord is available on PC (via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG,) and will come to consoles in the future.
