Sor­cery in Blade of the Iron Throne is a supremely potent, but also a supremely dan­ger­ous and mys­te­ri­ous force. The final ori­gin and the minu­tiae of the work­ing of this force are incom­pre­hen­si­ble and unknown even to its most leg­endary prac­ti­tion­ers, but one thing is cer­tain: Whether sor­cer­ous power is chan­neled from malig­nant demons or derives from the cold void between the stars, it is always an alien force that has no place in the nat­ural order of the world.

Pas­sions are an unusual kind of attribute for char­ac­ters in Blade of the Iron Throne – unusual not only inas­far as they are entirely made up by the player, but even more so in how they are as much an attribute of the player as of his character.

Blade of the Iron Throne prides itself on a com­bat sys­tem that is not only real­is­tic, but also excit­ing in a cin­e­matic way. When we say cin­e­matic, we don’t mean unre­al­is­tic or over the top. Rather, we mean that Blade’s com­bat scenes unfold in ways that are sim­i­lar to the com­bat scenes in action movies.
