Harrenhall Curse Question

[Rickterr]

Just a quick question, does the Harrenhall Curse kick in whenever you own Harrenhall, or just when you make it your capital? (Basically, asking if I should give it away as Aegon, and if I do, with any of my AI Paramounts of the Trident be doomed? Because the AI seems pretty insistent on using dejure capitals)

From the game code, it appears to kick on based on whether you've made Harrenhal your capital or not:

trigger = {
       FROM = { title = c_harrenhal }
       107 = {
           is_capital = yes
           NOT = { has_province_modifier = completeharren3 }
           NOT = { has_province_flag = pre_harren_harrenhal }
       }
   }

Interestingly, it appears to be tied to the county and not the duchy. However, I'd be a bit careful as the curse doesn't go away even if you pass the duchy on, and if you end up with the duchy as the primary title of an heir it might infect your whole line that way. If you're playing from the Conquest in my experience, you won't have the curse (or I've never seen it pass on after handing it over to someone else), but the curse will pass on if you make it your capital—even if you give it to someone else later.

It reduces your fertility by 25%, your health by 1.5, and your personal combat score by 10.
