“War is no game, and treason cannot go unaddressed.” – Otto Hightower
Heirlooms are perhaps some of the most strategic upgrades you can maintain as you make your way through the kingdoms of Westeros. Let us dive into specifics of the Heirloom system and how you can properly invest in the stats that will follow you from one reign into the next.
Heirlooms
Heirlooms are permanent upgrade trees that allow you to invest in powerful stat improvements that can follow you from one reign to the next to strengthen your Stronghold over time. Gaining access and continuously making use of these permanent upgrades requires strategic planning, as your House Level determines which Heirloom upgrades are active.
Currently, there are two Heirlooms available.
- Dragon Growth focuses on dragon growth, effectiveness, and dragon-related stats.
- Realm Expansion focuses on economy and territory expansion.
Tap the ‘Heirlooms’ icon within your Stronghold to view the Heirlooms currently available to upgrade.

How it Works
Each Heirloom tree contains many upgrades, all of which you can invest into at any time in any order you would like. Each Upgrade increases a certain stat based on how many Upgrade Ranks you have invested to increase its effectiveness.

To properly upgrade these trees, you must first collect the appropriate currency to unlock a specific upgrade.

Runic Fragments can be earned upon defeating select monster encounters upon the combat map such as Hedge Knights. |

You will often find Valyrian Tablets in rewards associated with your team, like Alliance log in rewards or progressive Event rewards |

Dragon Lord Scrolls can primarily be found by holding Dragon Lord’s Sanctums on the combat map. This is a special Point of Interest that must be claimed in order to earn the currency. They can also be found in other in-game locations. |

Amplifier Seals can be found by holding higher level nodes on the combat map. These seals are required to upgrade Amplifiers that increase the value of Heirloom upgrades that orbit them. |
Amplifier
At the center of every group is a special Amplifier that enhances the effectiveness of all connected Heirloom Upgrades.

Every amplifier Upgrade Rank will increase the stat of the orbiting upgrades by the Amplifier’s percentage stat. Unlike other Heirloom Upgrades, Amplifiers require Amplifier Seals.

House Level
Your House Level determines which Heirloom Upgrades you benefit from after being unlocked. The higher your House Level, the more Heirlooms that you can benefit from. You increase your House Level by collecting House XP. Earn XP through Chapter Quests and Events.

Your House Level is seasonal and resets at the beginning of every Reign. While unlocked Heirloom Upgrades carry over, you must achieve a higher House Level in order to activate the buffs from any Heirloom Upgrades you had acquired in a previous campaign.

You can also invest in Upgrades before you have the required House Level for activation. These unlocks immediately apply once you reach the required House Level.
Mastery
Each Heirloom Upgrade Rank grants a permanent Mastery bonus, that is active regardless of House Level. This bonus grows stronger as you purchase more Upgrades in a specific Heirloom and persists at all times throughout each reign.

Make use of this progress to level up your power appropriately!
