Tenth Moon, 169 AC Viserys Targaryen Viserys had served as Hand of the King ever since the day he had come of age and his elder brother could justify sticking that pin on his chest. From that moment onwards, for the next thirty years, he had ruled ably in the background as Aegon had brooded, Daeron had warred, and Baelor had prayed. Never once had he acted beyond his place despite the clamors of some to do so. When his brother had died before his time and his son had become King at an unripe young age,…- 34.0 K • Ongoing
Sixth Moon, 126 AD (25 AC) Aerion It was Midyear’s Day of the one hundredth and twenty-sixth year since the Doom of Valyria. But once the day had passed, they would never again date their calendar from the Doom, from that day of tragedy and disaster. They would date it from a day of glory and power, a date that would forever be remembered for the greatness of his house. At long last they were ended. After almost thirty years, the Wars of Conquest had come to an end at last. The Liberation of the…- 269.0 K • Ongoing
- The Shadowcat Prince Fourth Moon, 128 IC/254 AD (153 AC) What would Loren think? Tyland couldn’t help but wonder sometimes. What would his ancestor think of how far House Lannister had come in the century that had passed since he had first fled the Wall and founded the Kingdom of Hardhome? In that time, they had slowly spread out across all of Loren’s Point and the neighboring bay to the west, extending their influence up the coast all the way to the Antler River. New major settlements had been…

- Third Moon, 123 AD (22 AC) Rhaenys “It all leads here in the end,” Rhaenys could not help but think as Hellholt came into view. In another world, another time, she had died here. She could imagine it in her mind’s eye. The scorpions bristling on Hellholt’s walls would unleash their deadly loads, a stray lucky bolt would pierce her beloved Meraxes’ eye, and they’d both plummet to their doom. If she was lucky, she would die on impact, and if not… Rhaenys did not normally like to dwell on such…

Anakin Second Month, 970 ARR (30 BBY) Once he had proven himself by surviving the brutal first few months of physical and mental conditioning, especially Mygeeto, a planet he now hated almost as much as Tatooine, Anakin’s training had accelerated sharply. Everything he had thought he would learn had finally begun. Sidious had begun teaching him how to call upon the dark side actively, to bend the Force to his will. The obstacle courses that had once been the bane of his existence were now a breeze and…- 29.5 K • Ongoing

- - Excerpt from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace Novelization by Terry Brooks They were close to the throne room now; it lay only another story up and several corridors back. Padmé felt a fierce exultation. She would have the Neimoidian viceroy as her prisoner yet! But the thought was no sooner completed than a pair of destroyer droids wheeled around one end of the hallway, swiftly transforming into battle mode. Mere seconds later, a second pair appeared at the other end, weapons held at the…

- Tenth Month, 969 ARR (31 BBY) Anakin “Again,” his new Master snarled as Anakin hit the ground for the third time that evening. Such had been his routine for the past few months. So far, Sidious had taught him precious little of any Force techniques save for some basics in how to shield, meditate, and draw strength from the dark side, strength from pain and hardship. According to him, Anakin did not have the hardened grit necessary for proper Sith training yet, and that is what they were working to…

- Tenth Moon, 169 AC Aemon Targaryen “I don’t want to see you slacking off even once! Repeat the strokes until your arms are dead! If you have enough time and energy to be fooling around with my cousins, I clearly haven’t been drilling you hard enough!” Aemon barked at his nephew and squire, a menacing expression on his face. “Yes Uncle,” Daeron obeyed. To his credit, the lad did not complain nor grouse and kept diligently working at his strokes but it did little to improve Aemon’s…

- Twelfth Month, 969 ARR (31 BBY) Maul Much had happened in the fourteen standard months since Maul had forsworn his former master. He had secured transport off Naboo in the chaos of the Bombardment’s aftermath, absconding with a good freighter that he had then flown to one of the few secret hideouts at his disposal that his former master had no knowledge of. There he had rested for a few weeks, gathering what resources he could while letting his grievous injuries and wounds heal. Then when he was…
