[@agentmanatee] 1. Not very far in terms of plot, we're in the middle of a big tournament and wedding celebration, bringing all the characters together, before the intrigue and action starts. I plan to have something of an adventure for all the action-oriented PCs to participate in. 

2. This is a melding of show and book canon, as well as a bit of fan speculation, but the Hound is alive. I didn't give much thought to what he would be doing now, but I suppose he'd be in the service of Sansa Stark as Captain of her guard or something along those lines. 

Thank you for your interest, and I hope you join the game! 

[@Abefroeman] I always did have a soft spot for House Dondarrion.
