A restored Vault stub from the August 1999 POCG news desk.

Seven Kingdoms is covered here as part of the August 1999 POCG news archive. This Vault entry is a restoration stub tied to period news coverage, preserving the release, demo, beta, promotion, hardware tie-in or development update as it was reported at the time. The story connects the game to the late-1999 PC and console scene, when gold master announcements, demos, patches, online ladders, hardware bundles and retail shipments were all hitting at once. Further release details, platform notes, developer history and review context can be expanded during the full Vault restoration pass. For now, this entry exists so the news archive has a clean game relationship instead of leaving the story floating loose.
