Chapter 11 - Check-in & Brainstorm

Hey everyone!

👉I WANT YOU FOR BRAINSTORM ARMY!

✍️ This is a creative pause. A check-in with you, to see how we're doing — and a brainstorm for where we can go together.

This chapter is special: I'm opening space to collect ideas and feedback about the story. I want to hear from you:

🧠 General impressions

What are your thoughts on the story so far?

What's working well?

What could be improved?

❤️ Relationships

Do you prefer the protagonist to follow a monogamous or polyamorous path?

Before any serious relationships, I'm thinking of something in the style of Geralt of Rivia — interactions with multiple women, but without commitment. What do you think?

💰 Trade

Is the trade system satisfying for you?

Any suggestions on how to expand or deepen this theme?

⚔️ Army and strategy

I'm exploring the idea of using a model inspired by Swiss mercenaries: long spears + crossbows as a cheap and efficient way to counter southern cavalry.

What other models or formations do you think could work in this universe?

🔧 Technology and innovation

I don't want to step into the "industrial" zone, but since Game of Thrones already mixes several advanced technologies for a medieval setting (like full plate armor), I'm thinking of including some pre-industrial elements.

What do you think? Any interesting ideas in that direction?

🌕 Lycan power

And about lycan power: how do you think it should be handled to be satisfying without breaking the story?

I thought of a gradual evolution, starting from something like a Wolverine — able to actively participate in conflicts without simply obliterating entire armies — and eventually reaching a Fenrir level.

👉 Would that be satisfying for you?

Any ideas on how to balance this with the world of Westeros?

In my first attempt, I made Willian so strong he could conquer the world whenever he wanted. It was visually amazing and very satisfying… but it completely broke the plot.

Still, I can't deny it was satisfying 😅

For those who didn't see it: Willian was already full lycan on day one, with extra boosts, being a giant lycan who grew in power and height over time — and on top of that, fully under his control.

It was beautiful, but extremely anti-plot.

Maybe the solution is to keep his power, but limit the spread of the lycan lineage — turning Willian into a kind of unique "dragon", rare and feared, like the actual dragons of Westeros.

🧩 What do you think of this approach?

Any ideas on how to balance this power with the world of Westeros, while keeping the tension and narrative challenge?

💡 Open suggestions

Is there anything you'd like to see in the story?

Could be a character, event, mystery, faction, magic, culture… every suggestion will be considered with care.

Thanks for following and contributing! This project is made with a lot of passion, and every comment from you helps make it even better.
