I know that you are allowed only one challenge of each type in a challenge phase, but can you kneel multiple characters to challenge two different opponents simultaneously?

Example:

I have Khal Drogo and Drogon in play. I have two other opponents in a melee game, player A and player B. Neither player A nor player B have any characters on the board, but they both have power tokens on their House cards, so are ripe for a Power challenge. Can I, during my Challenge phase, kneel Khal Drogo to Power challenge player A, and simultaneously kneel Drogon to Power challenge player B? We then resolve the challenges one at a time, and assuming I'm successful in both challenges, I move power from both Player A and B onto my house card.

Is this allowed?

The rules say that in order to initiate a challenge, you announce the type of challenge and identify the one opponent whom you are challenging. Then you declare/kneel attackers. So the rules say initiating one challenge means identifying one defender. As your question implies itself ("we then resolve the challenges one at a time "), challenging two separate people would count as two separate challenges - and you are only allowed to initiate one of each type of challenge.

You can split your 3 challenges up between different opponents, but you may not circumvent the "only one of each challenge" rule by initiating two challenges of the same type at the "same time" against different opponents. Otherwise, what would stop you from initiating two challenges - one with Khal Drogo, the other with Drogon - against the same player , just get claim effects more than once?

Ok cool, thank you for clearing that up.

That would be a pretty neat event card or ability to create for the game. Maybe if you beat both opponents, your claim will be raised by one when claim comes around.

There is some similarity to the concept and the new Robert who, when he attacks alone, effectively attacks all opponents (since they all have to fulfill claim if he wins).

Yeah absolutely. Perhaps there will be some other cards in this cycle that will allow something like this to occur.
