Jaenara was woken from her sleep by the screams of the men and giants, the people, her fellow dragonlords immolated. Their gazes were judgmental, accusing, demanding to know why she had stood by and done nothing. Even now, three days after the execution, the memory still troubled her, plaguing her with nightmares that deprived her of sorely needed sleep. She got up from her slumber and sat on the edge of the bed, head in her hands. It was at times like this that Túrin's words five years ago came to…- 309.2 K • Completed
- 4397 E.L They had failed. Three years of war had seen the Arnorians slowly pushed up the Rhoyne before the advancing Valyrian army. It hadn't helped in the slightest that the Valyrians could attack from Norvos and Qohor as well as Volantis. In many ways, the war had been over the moment Garin had lost, yet still they had fought on. The Arnorian forces had shed their blood, sweat, and tears to defend their allies but with the fall of Ny Sar, the war was all but over. Aragost was very much not looking…

- "Peace is only an armistice in an endless war." - Thucydides "Mother? What are you doing out on the balcony, you should come in." "I saw you racing with your siblings on your dragons earlier," her mother said. Jaenara was changing out of her racing breeches into a more comfortable dress and replied, "Did you? It was so amazing Mother! I could feel the wind all over my face! It was exhilarating. It's a pity I didn't win, but Terrax is quite big and slow and I'm quite inexperienced so they said it was…

- First Moon, 123 AD (22 AC) Aegon Their passage through the Stepstones had been completely unchallenged. Though the island chain was entirely occupied and controlled by the fleets of Braavos, Pentos, and Tyrosh, none of the three Free Cities had dared to even demand tolls, too fearful of the power of his family’s dragons and the idea it would be turned upon them. Only recently had Essos been reminded of that power. A scant few months ago, Aegon and his family had orchestrated the destruction of the…

- Third Moon, 122 AC The Summer Islander Once he had been Jhallador Zhas, a proud warrior and chief retainer in the service of Prince Xhallabar Xho, the Prince of Lizard Head off the coast of Jhala. But no more. He was nothing now. Just a sad exile drinking away his sorrows in a Lyseni tavern. He tightened the grip on his cup and took another swill of his wine as his bitterness continued to fester. Exile. The Priests of Love had always insisted that their way of warfare was superior to that of other peoples…

- Everything changed when the Doom destroyed Valyria. With no rival left, nothing remained to stand in Arnor's way as it expanded its power and influence across the world. The centuries after the Doom would see Arnor's rise to become the empire on which the sun never sets, beginning the Second Golden Age as Arnor reached heights of power it had not attained even in the days of Alcarin the Glorious. Yet this Second Golden Age would ultimately find itself interrupted by the return of the Long Night, the coming…

- 5399 E.L. "A mirian for your thoughts Your Highness?" Lord Elured asked. He was the noble who had been chosen to be Aragorn's guide when he visited the province of Arnen, one of twenty-two colonial provinces in the far southern region of Hyarmen, the most remote part of the greater Arnorian Empire. "Breathtaking, and certainly very impressive; how tall can they grow?" Aragorn asked as he continued to look at the giant redwood trees. "Almost four hundred feet, Your Highness. The tallest we've found is…

- First Moon, 102 AD (1 AC) The Ranger Commandant Crowley and his fellow Rangers watched from a distance as the King and Queen blasted through the Golden Tooth with their dragons. The sight of Balerion and Meraxes in all their awesome power never failed to amaze him. Their preparations for this war had not gone unnoticed and the Golden Tooth had been fortified and reinforced with almost ten thousand men, many of them veterans from the campaign in the Iron Islands. They were under the command of Lord Roger…

- Seventh Moon, 107 AD (6 AC) The Builder “Blane! Take a seat!” Darren said as he walked into the tavern. He smiled at the sight of some of his colleagues playing cards and drinking at the table in the corner. He took his seat and got dealt into the game once he finished ordering his meal and drink from the waitress, a rather cute and mousy young woman. Blane entertained the thought of asking her name before his colleagues cut him off with inquires after his day. “How was work today?” Darren…

- Eighth Moon, 90 AC Viserra Dreamfyre beat her wings gently, relaxed but alert and ready. Beneath them, the Velaryon fleet sailed, larger than Viserra had ever seen it. Their masts were like a forest upon the sea. Every ship was full to the brim with supplies, weapons, marines, and mercenaries. A lot of effort and planning was needed to wage a war of conquest, so much so that it had taken them over a year to prepare for it, and that was with the neighboring Stepstones as a basing ground to make their…
