- "You wished to speak to me, Father?" Araphant asked as he walked into the office of his father, King Araval of Arnor. The man in question was staring out the window. "Yes, have a seat my son," Araval said. Araphant did as his father commanded, noticing as he did, a map of Westeros on the desk. "Tell me, what do you see?" Araval asked his son. "It is a map of the continent, Father. A map showing our great kingdom and the various petty and disunited realms of lesser men beyond," Araphant answered, confused…

- The Black Walls of Volantis were a sight to see. Even from here, they were so massive and intimidating that Garin could see them in all their splendour. Supposedly, they were two hundred feet high and were so wide that no less than six four-horse chariots could race atop the battlements abreast. No siege tower could scale them, nor could any siege engine breach or damage them in any way. They were, for all intents and purposes, impregnable. Had he been almost any other man, Garin would have despaired at…

- Seventh Moon, 113 AC Baela The tourney that was thrown in celebration for her and her twin sister's wedding was as grand as the wedding ceremony that preceded it. Apparently the tourney was greater and grander and even more expensive than the one which had been thrown to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of her late grandfather's reign in 98 AC. Not that Baela remembered that particular tourney though, she had only been a one-year-old at the time. The day immediately after her wedding had been a day…

- Sixth Moon, 97 AD (5 BC) Visenya The Hall of a Hundred Hearths truly lived up to its name. There were fifty hearths on each side of the hall, spaced ten feet apart, all of them lit and blazing with fire in a desperate attempt to warm the massive space. Smooth slate floors on the ground led up to great marble walls and colored and clear glass windows in the galleries above that lit up the room alongside the blazing hearths. The great hall could feast an army and that was exactly what they were going to…

- Demons run, when Arnor goes to war. 735 E.L. Tarondor had not been idle in the twenty-three years since his reign began. Shortly after his coronation, he addressed the full Council of the Sceptre and told them his plan. They would invade and conquer the Grey Islands. Immediately many of the council members had protested, saying it was too risky, that they had no navy. Tarondor had only replied, "I will build you a navy." Support for the war had been limited, mostly from the coastal regions, the areas which…

Lord Pelendur and Prince Earendil marched on Ithilien from the capital, the King descended on Calenardhon from Morlond and Ondoher had moved into Tircarnë from Raumdor. The Loyalists held a greater…
