Eleventh Moon, 86 AC Viserra Targaryen The court had been in quite the fuss for the past month ever since it had become publicly known that the new Master of Ships was none other than Lord Corlys Velaryon, the Sea Snake himself. The announcement by her father had sent the court into a flurry of gossip, rumor-mongering, and endless bounds of curiosity. After all, the name of Corlys Velaryon was probably world famous by now, even to some of the smallfolk. Who hadn't heard of the Westerosi lordling who had…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Eighth Moon, 120 AC Jacaerys Jace looked over his armor and uniform in the vanity once again. It was a very important day, and nothing could go wrong. He adjusted his bracers and boots one more time as he tried to make himself look as perfect as possible, not a single hair out of place. The servants normally helped his mother and sister get ready but for the most part, Jace and his brothers preferred to dress themselves, finding it much quicker than being hemmed and hawed over by a small army of servants.…

- First Moon, 120 AC Rhaenys A new year had dawned on House Targaryen, and with it came a new decade. And in this new decade, Rhaenys was determined to seize back the initiative. No longer would her house be left to simply react to everything the Velaryons had done. No, for the first time in years, decades even, House Targaryen would take the initiative, they would act first, and the Velaryons would be the ones left scrambling to respond to their glorious accomplishments. Her father sat regally upon the Iron…

- Sixth Moon, 115 AC Daeron "Have you finished packing?" Daeron asked his sister, trying desperately to have a conversation with her, even if it was just smalltalk. "I have," she answered without even turning to look at him. It had been a few weeks since their dramatic and heart-wrenching falling out with Aegon. The sixth moon of 115 AC had begun and their parents had informed both of them that the family was to visit Tyrosh and greet Jace and Luke upon their return, a change of plans from the previous plan…

- Fifth Moon, 115 AC Laena Velaryon "I was thinking Laena. Mother and Father said that they've summoned Jace and Luke back home to High Tide. We should go and greet them when they return," Daeron said excitedly as he walked into her room. "Wasn't that a given little brother?" Laena retorted with a raised eyebrow. "Especially since Jace was sick, I think we're all a little anxious to see for ourselves that he is well. Still it is a bit premature for us to discuss this don't you think? It will be at least two…

- Baela Tenth Moon, 114 AC The scarf wrapped tightly around her neck and mouth was suffocating, but not the real reason Baela felt like she was dying. The curtains in the room were thick and heavy, drawn to prevent sickness from spreading. Soaps, boiled wine, and other sanitary supplies were placed in neat cabinets all over the building, and she had been forced to wash her hands up to her elbows before she entered and she'd have to do it again before she left. The infirmary was a place for the dying and…

- Tenth Moon, 114 AC Jacaerys "They're opening another vault?" Baela asked. "It seems so. I'm thinking of taking a trip down there to watch as the survey team goes in this time," Jace replied. "This time? You mean every time. You always do that," Baela teased. "Can you blame me? It's the most exciting thing that happens these days," Jace retorted. Why would he not want to follow along to see how the exploration and excavation efforts were going? Overseeing the daily tasks and chores of their camp like…

- 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…

- Baela Eighth Moon, 113 AC When the morning came, Baela broke her fast before meeting Jacaerys, Luke, and her sister Rhaena at the stables. A platoon of Tide Guard were waiting at the stables with her husband, goodbrother, and sister, easily identifiable by their signature ocean-blue plate and sea-green shirts and cloaks. Luke greeted her with a smile. "Morning Baela. Same horse as yesterday right? I took the liberty of having it saddled in advance for you." Baela raised her eyebrow. "Thank you Luke.…

- 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…
