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…- 34.0 K • Ongoing
Sixth Moon, 109 AC Jacaerys He'd known it was coming, but somehow his uncle announcing it in open court just made it all so much more real. The reactions were mixed. Some like their trusted allies, Starks, Tarths, Graftons, Royces, and Celtigars, were either pleased or disappointed that they didn't get something more substantive. Jace acknowledged his family's friends with nods and mouthed words of thanks. Caeryn and Caspian Celtigar along with many others that he was acquainted with from his family's…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Daemon Velaryon Fifth Moon, 61 AC Winter had ended a few months ago. It had been short but terrible. Crops had failed across the realm, famine had spread, and blizzards had reached as far south as Highgarden. Worst of all was the plague that had come with the winter. The Shivers. A man could feel cold one night, mistake it for the chill of the wintry air, and be dead by morning. Soon a shivering will begin, one that will worsen until teeth chatter and one's arms, legs, and whole body will convulse and…

- Second Moon, 97 AD (5 BC) The Black Tyrant “Faster!” one of his ironmen captains shouted as he whipped a mewling thrall who was struggling to carry the boulder up the steps leading up the colossal curtain wall. Around him thousands of men were hard at work carrying more boulders as well as bundles of arrows and barrels of tar up to the battlements. Many were also being whipped for their pathetic snail’s pace just as the first thrall had been. “Weak,” his eldest son Harwyn…

- And behold, the Third War began with a sudden flame! Dagor Bragollach we named it, for the legends of old. The name was fitting… too fitting. 4441 E.L The Titan of Braavos was always an awe-inspiring sight to see; a massive bronze statue and stone fortress that guarded the entrance to the lagoon that held Braavos. Centuries ago, the Braavosi had commissioned Arnorian craftsman to build it after the Unveiling and it still stood to this day as a symbol of Braavos's might and its defiance to any would be…

- Aurane Seventh Moon, 86 AC When High Tide had been built, the solar had been positioned perfectly to allow their lord grandfather to look out the window and see Spicetown in all its glory and splendor nearby. Every day as he worked in the solar seeing to Driftmark's matters, their lord grandfather could look out and see the sight Aurane saw now. A strong and stout set of walls ringed the town, guarding against sea as much as land. Barbicans and portcullises protected their gates. Crenellated battlements…

- Viserra Viserra Second Moon, 88 AC She shivered briefly as her father took her cloak off. The three-headed red dragon of House Targaryen was soon replaced with the silver seahorse of House Velaryon as Corlys wrapped his own cloak around her protectively. She nestled in the warmth. The High Septon spoke as he brought out the ribbon. "My lords, my ladies, we stand here in the sight of gods and men to witness the union of man and wife. Corlys Velaryon, and Viserra Targaryen have come before the Seven today to…

- Fifth Moon, 114 AC Gael Daemon was off somewhere in the city, no doubt indulging in yet another day of revelry and celebration with his men now that he had finally been reinstated to his post as Commander of the Watch. She was happy for him. Her husband's reinstatement was a result of her efforts. She had been working hard to convince Aemon for years and it had finally borne fruit after she had pointed out how well behaved Daemon had been with regards to the Velaryons in the past few years. He hadn't even…

- Fifth Moon, 87 AC Alysanne "Construction of the fort on Bloodstone was completed three months ago. In the time since, our fleet has cleared through several pirate dens on the Stepstones but the moment we leave an island, the pirates always come slinking right back in," Ser Aurane, the youngest of the Velaryon brothers reported. "What of the locals?" her husband asked. She had always loved how he looked when he was trying to be serious and focused. "There aren't that many of them. Some villages of…

- Sixth Moon, 88 AC Viserra "Alys dear, have you been settling in well?" Irina asked. She took a sip of her tea as she let Alys consider the question. The three of them were having their luncheon together today, a private meal Irina had invited her goodsisters to. They would be eating a light meal of more simply flavored (though no less delicious) chicken and some rice and garlic-fried vegetables to accompany it. High Tide's residents, Viserra had found, were quite obsessed with rice. Many insisted it was…
