The honorable path is never easy, and once again, Jon Snow finds his fealties tested. He has promised his love and loyalty to Queen Daenerys and harbors no desire to rule, and yet the truth of his own lineage threatens to unravel all… if the Night King to the north and Cersei to the south don’t destroy all he holds dear first.
In May, the Jon Snow event concludes in Game of Thrones: Conquest with Part III: The Lost Dragon! This is the final part of our multi-month event arc, where we’ve been revisiting Jon Snow’s comparatively humble beginnings all the way to his exile beyond the Wall. While doing so, players have the opportunity to earn exclusive rewards that can only available for a limited time.
Here are the new rewards and content you can expect for May:
- Continuation and finale of Jon Snow’s story
- Exclusive Reward: Slate Quarry Boost-Unlocked Resource Plot
- New Gear Set: Lost Targaryen
- Two New Heroes: Brynden Tully & Podrick Payne
- New Hero Relic Recipes during Festivals

New Gear Set: Lost Targaryen
For May, we are introducing a very unique gear set into Game of Thrones: Conquest. Jon Snow went through many phases throughout the show, but what if we took it a step further and created an alternate version of Jon that’s never been seen before? We spoke with the artist who visually conceptualized the Lost Targaryen gear set and had her explain it a bit further:
For this gear set, we wanted to make something meaningful to go along with the conclusion of the three-month Jon Snow arc. Narratively, this arc focused on Jon’s different allegiances and identities throughout the series, and the gear set ties together the ideas of ice and fire, wolf and dragon. This set explores a ‘what if’ concept of how it might look had Jon embraced his Targaryen lineage and taken the Iron Throne. At the same time, the addition of the dagger and melted throne allude to the actual finale of the show.
Gameplay-wise, the Lost Targaryen gear set marks the beginning of Gear Season 9 which introduces a 9th stat slot for Level 40 gear pieces. Here are some of its notable buffs with its Infantry Combat focus:
- +Infantry Health/Defense/Attack
- +Infantry Health/Defense/Attack Vs. Players
- +Infantry Health/Defense/Attack Vs. Players Seats of Power
- +Infantry Health/Defense/Attack Vs. Players Cavalry
- +Marcher Infantry Health/Defense/Attack Vs. Players
- +Marching Speed Vs. Seats of Power
- +Max March Size
New Heroes: Brynden Tully & Podrick Payne
Two new heroes will be joining the ever-growing Game of Thrones: Conquest hero roster on May 15th! When the Heroes of the Great Game event goes live on that day, Brynden Tully (The Blackfish) and Podrick Payne (Steadfast Swordsman) will be available to be summoned at the Tower of the Hand, located within the walls of your city. Let’s take a look at their skills and focuses:
Brynden Tully (The Blackfish) is a Defensive Ranged hero whose Signature Skill is activated when he’s seated as the Lord Commander on the Small Council. He’s a great choice for when you’re engaging in PvP or rallying against Seats of Power as most of his stats are focused in those areas. Be sure to fully rank him up to benefit from his additional Ranged Attack, Reinforcement Capacity, and Ranged Defense!
Here’s a full overview of his skills:

- Skill 2 | Council | Ranged Attack Vs. Players
- Skill 3 | March | Marcher Infantry Attack Vs. Players Seats of Power
- Skill 4 | Council | Reinforcement Capacity Vs. Seats of Power
- Skill 5 | Council | Ranged Defense
Podrick Payne (Steadfast Swordsman) is our featured Mythic hero this month who focuses on Infantry Attack skills! When seated as the Hand on your Small Council, he’ll activate his Signature Skill Infantry Attack Vs. Players and gain additional Infantry Attack against other player’s Cavalry, double-downing on Infantry’s natural strength against Cavalry troops. As a bonus, his kit includes a buff to Troop Load, allowing your Troops to bring back extra resources home after each victory!
Here are all of his skills laid out:
- Signature Skill 1 | March | Max March Size
- Signature Skill 2 | Council | Infantry Attack Vs. Players
- Skill 1 | Council | Troop Load
- Skill 2 | March | Infantry Defense Vs. Players Cavalry
