Game Of Thrones: Rose Of The South Officially Announced

Game of Thrones has no shortage of beloved characters across George R.R. Martin’s sprawling fantasy universe, but arguably one of the top fan-favorites among them is the lovely Margaery Tyrell. She became a standout thanks to Natalie Dormer’s incredible performance in HBO’s adaptation, though longtime book readers already had their eyes on her and House Tyrell as true power players in the Seven Kingdoms.

Where the Starks built their reputation on honor and the Lannisters wielded their wealth like a weapon, the Tyrells understood the value of appearance, influence, cunning, and knowing exactly when to make their move. Margaery embodied that approach, winning over the people of King’s Landing while navigating some of Westeros’ most dangerous royal alliances.

Alongside her formidable grandmother, Olenna, she helped give House Tyrell one of the best family dynamics in the entire series. Although the show’s version of the family met a devastating end, the golden rose of Highgarden remains one of the franchise’s most recognizable symbols. Now, House Tyrell is returning in a major way with the announcement of Game of Thrones: Rose of the South.

House Tyrell is officially back in the spotlight with the announcement of a brand-new release called Rose of the South. The new gear set for Conquest is part of November’s Highgarden Harvest Festival, a month-long celebration dedicated to one of Westeros’ most influential families, running from November 3 through November 27.

The Rose of the South gear set is one of the featured rewards for the event, offering a variety of combat bonuses for players looking to strengthen their armies. Its primary focus is on ranged units, with increased Ranged Health and Ranged Attack, alongside specialized bonuses against enemy ranged and infantry troops. Other notable perks include increased March Speed against players, improved maximum march size, and additional ranged attack and defense bonuses during Seat of Power battles.

While the gear set is arguably the biggest attraction for House Tyrell enthusiasts, it’s far from the only new addition coming to Game of Thrones: Conquest this November.

The larger Highgarden Harvest Festival celebrates the lavish lifestyle of House Tyrell, with an emphasis on festivities, your standard political intrigue and backstabbing, and of course, romance. The event also introduces Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden, as a brand-new playable Hero, bringing Margaery’s father into the spotlight. Classified as a Heroic Master of Ships, Mace specializes in infantry combat, with bonuses to infantry attack, health, and march size.

Interestingly, Mace isn’t the only new character joining the game, as Hotpie is also arriving as a Mythic Grand Maester Hero under the hilariously appropriate title of The Gravy Knight. He offers several cavalry-focused bonuses, making him another potentially valuable addition to players’ collections.

The Highgarden Harvest Festival also features a busy schedule of limited-time activities, including Prepare the Banquet, Pruning the Garden, Maintaining Poise, and Culprit Revealed. Players can also collect Braavosi Loan trophies and exchange them for rewards during designated events.

Another notable addition is the Terror of the Tundra Dragon Gear set, beginning with a new Saddle that improves Dragon Ranged Health against players. With House Tyrell taking center stage throughout November, Game of Thrones: Conquest is giving fans another opportunity to celebrate the golden rose of Highgarden, even if Margaery herself isn’t the focus of this particular update.
