The society is considered one of the oldest and most advanced societies in creator George R.R. Martin's sprawling fantasy realm and is inspired by Imperial China (much the same way Westeros, which was the primary setting for GoT, was inspired by Medieval Europe)." No other details were given.

Mozhan Marnò will pen the adaptation as well as executive produce alongside A Penny For Your Thoughts Entertainment's Prentice Penny.
