@Lotherio Sorry to hear that happened, it was a good game, one I really enjoyed and felt challenged by. Though this just helps reinforce my decision to retire my character instead of carrying over since the new people who were taking over are very suspect.
@Bobotron Politics is within each other for the Wildlings, from what I have read, there are many different tribes and it took Mance decades to get them to work together. So there could be infighting depending on the timeline.
@JustNobody That is a good point, didn't consider that.
If you want to avoid courtly politics and focus more on adventure and action, perhaps moving the location to the wall and north of it. You will have those that take the black, the multiple wildling factions, and most likely staff controlled other-worldly creatures. The only 'politics' would be between the wildling clans and possibly within the Night's Watch.
