The expansion's art direction was based entirely on Saladin himself. It also used ''[http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Game_of_Thrones_Wiki Game of Thrones]'' as an inspiration for its character dynamic. The same dog that provided motion-capture for [http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost Ghost] was used in the game's development.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-of-thrones-heavily-influenced-destinys-new-ex/1100-6442781/ Gamespot - ''Game of Thrones Heavily Influenced Destiny's New Expansion'']</ref> | The expansion's art direction was based entirely on Saladin himself.
