Miyazaki went on record and clarified that George R.R Martin, the author of the famous novel A Song of Ice and Fire, did not write any new mythos or lore for this particular DLC. Instead, his contributions were carried over from the base game. The DLC will feature a large variety of enemies, dungeons, and newer bosses for players to challenge.
