Organizations

The societies of this world are driven by powerful institutions that shape politics, warfare, knowledge, and faith. The Night's Watch stands as a grim guardian of the North, bound by oaths that transcend noble houses, while the Kingsguard represents the crown's elite protectors. The Citadel governs learning through its maesters, influencing rulers through counsel, medicine, and recordkeeping. Religious and military groups also hold significant sway. The Faith of the Seven guides much of Westeros through tradition and law, while Essos hosts organizations like the Faceless Men, Unsullied, and the Golden Company—each with their own philosophies and formidable influence.
