Amok has updated his website with three more of the images of the Targaryen kings that he painted for the Art of Ice and Fire art book.
He has also posted GRRM’s descriptions for these two kings, Aegon IV the Unworthy and his son (or maybe not, depending on who listen to) Daeron II the Good.

Guardians of Order has noted that they have copies of the beautiful poster map of Westeros included in the RPG for sale. The supply is limited, however, so act quickly. We were sent an image of the map a long time ago, and it really is the best map for the series that has been made to date, being full color and including pretty much everything that could be included at the time of publication.
Mike Butterworth has put out the word that Testors is looking for volunteers to help demonstrate and promote the Westeros wargame. If you’re interested, contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) today!

Guardians of Order have update their calendar with a prognosis into the middle of next year, and some very interesting material crops up. Note that these are tentative dates:
Following our previous reports, Testors has provided us more information about the Ruby Ford set, which we quote after the fold:
From Guardians of Order’s frontpage, we learn that some delays have been introduced in the shipping of the DLE due to the printer mixing up which books were in which boxes. This has taken time to sort out, so books have been mailed in batches rather than continuously. However, GoO states that all orders will be shipped by the end of the week.
Tom Meier has very kindly shared with us six more pictures of Rhaegar and Robert battling at the Ruby Ford, with a number of close-in shots so that details may be seen more clearly. They’re truly works of art.
Thanks to Testors and Tom Meier, we now have three images of the 54mm greens from the fateful ruby ford. We’ve posted a picture of Rhaegar previously. While no retail price has yet been determined, this set may be released as early as December. Current plans are for only 750 to be produced.
From Mark McKinnon, president of Guardians of Order:
According to Carin Meier, Tom Meier of Thunderbolt Mountain is presently finishing up a 54mm miniature featuring. "a young Jon & Arya for Testors"
Mark McKinnon, president of Guardians of Order, has posted an update regarding the shipping status of the RPG. For those who just can’t wait, the OGL d20 PDF is still on-sale at half the price of the hardcover edition and is available for immediate download.
We’ve received a sneak peek at "The Hedge Knight II: The Sworn Sword" from Dabel Brothers Productions, in the form of the cover for the first issue, illustrated by Renato Arlem.
In related news, word from Mike S. Miller (found here at Newsarama) is that he will be illustrating the series. This is great news for fans of his work on "The Hedge Knight").
Parris has just reported that A Feast for Crows has been a raging success, as evidenced by its having already entered its third printing just three days after publication. Congratulations, George!
Yesterday’s news item on "The Sworn Sword" being adapted by Dabel Brothers Productions (who so successfully adapted "The Hedge Knight") is now confirmed. The adaption is tenatively scheduled to begin release in early 2006. No word yet as to the creative lineup.
