Third Moon, 88 AC Viserra While she had worked alongside him for weeks already since her wedding, Viserra was still in shock at the amount of work that Rhaekar had to do. As the steward of High Tide, and consequently of Driftmark and all the Velaryon lands, it was his responsibility to handle a great deal of the day to day affairs of the fief, especially whenever Corlys was absent from the island serving as her father's Master of Ships. There hadn't been a true Lady of the Tides for many years now, not…- 606.6 K • Completed
- In the first volume of this book, we examined the reigns of the first eleven High Kings of Arnor, ending at the short reign of Amlaith, the eldest son of Earendur Falastur and the short but bloody War of the Three Brothers. In this second volume, we will look at the reigns of the kings leading up to, and during the First Golden Age of Arnor, during which Arnorian power reached a zenith. The second and third millennia of Arnor's history are noted first for being years of swift recovery from the War of the…

- Somewhere off the coast of Pentos Prince Ciryaher stood on the command deck of his flagship. The invasion had been synchronised such that his fleet would reach Pentos with a few days of the fleets attacking Myr and Tyrosh though delays in communication had led to the fleet setting off slightly later than scheduled. It had been almost four days since his fleet had set off from Tol Mor and Essos had been sighted to the east. A few hours after that and they had found the Pentoshi fleet defending the bay in…

- Only a day after the battle and it was warmer than it had ever been for years. The thaw had come as the darkness abated. The unnatural clouds had dispersed and the sun's light shined warmly on Winterfell. If Winterfell was feeling the impact of the Great Other's death and the defeat of his servants so far north, surely Arnor itself and the rest of the empire were already well on their way to recovery and stability? Twenty years of a cold dark winter, and it seemed spring was finally on its way. The…

- First Moon, 100 AC Viserra The ride over to Dragonstone was not long. The island was visible from the highest tower of High Tide, and a dragon covered the distance in little more than five and ten minutes. Her first instinct had been to take Laena and Daeron to ride with her on Dreamfyre, like they'd taken them when they rode the horses. However, her two youngest children had begged and cajoled her to let them ride their dragons and she had begrudgingly relented after ensuring they were strapped and…

- First Moon, 132 AC Jacaerys It was the second day of 132 AC, or in the Triarchy, 39 AZ. The start of a new year was normally a festive holiday period, but not for House Velaryon. Not this time. His uncle, King Aemon of House Targaryen had finally breathed his last and given up his spirit to the Stranger on the last day of 131 AC. That was two days ago, two days that Rhaenys had been Queen, and every day that passed with her in power was a day closer to the war that would decide the fate of his family. Once…

- Third Moon, 112 AD (11 AC) The Warg King “There there, I’m happy that we could come to… an understanding,” Brandon said slyly. Wrapped in his arms, Lady Jonelle Hornwood nodded slowly, her mind becoming foggy and affectionate as the bond solidified between them. “You understand now right my dear? The North needs a strong hand to bring it back from the brink; to save it from all the debauchery and violence it has had to endure these past four years. It needs, me.” “Yes, yes you are…

The storm was instantaneous as soon as the ravens sent forth from Stone Hedge began reaching their destinations all across the land. A furious uproar thrummed across every corner of Westeros at the outrageous, unprovoked, and dishonorable attack upon the party of a Prince and Princess of the Realm and the threat to the lives of their young children. It broke all norms of decency, chivalry, and law, and many who might once have risen for the Spears now began declaring neutrality or outright for the Swords…- 36.8 K • Completed
- Time flies. Even to one of the Dúnedain, if they were not careful, the years could run away from them. Araphant stood in the platform overlooking the training yard of Winterfell. Below him, his close friends, Boromir and Elladan, duelled the twin princes of the North, Brandon and Bennard. It was perhaps to be expected that the twins would lose the duel, as they had hundreds of times before in the five years since they had come to Winterfell, but Araphant again found himself impressed by how skilled the…

- "Keep your wits sharp men, and your eyes peeled on the sky," Aragost ordered his men. The original plan, based on their last communication with Garin, had been to land at Volantis, either to help Garin assault the city, or help him defend it from the expected Valyrian counterattack. That entire plan had all gone up in flames, quite literally. A day after contact was lost with Garin, the Arnorian armada had been hailed by a number of Rhoynar commanders. They had reported that most of Garin's army had been…
