Yet for a long time now, the peace he had once felt, standing on the balcony and staring off into the horizon of the Sunset Sea, had been tainted.

- "Push forward! We are soldiers of Arnor, we will not allow this fortress to defeat us!" Túrin ordered to his men as they charge toward Tyrosh.

- -Excerpt from 'The Sea Snake', the biography of Corlys Velaryon, Abridged Edition. The very first meeting of King Jaehaerys the Conciliator and Lord Corlys the Sea Snake happened at the funeral of Lord Corlys' grandfather, Lord Daemon Velaryon.

- First Moon, 132 AC Viserra "Your Excellency, please I beg you, allow me to stay by your side!" the ever loyal Ser Jaremy cried. "No Orange. You have your orders, and you shan't disobey them.

- Third Moon, 116 AD (15 AC) Aegor “He’s just so adorable, isn’t he?” Rhaena said as she fawned over their son in the nursery. Aegor couldn’t help but agree as he ran his hands through the faint wisps of silver-gold hair on his son’s head and drank in the sight of those innocent purple eyes.

It had taken him countless years to accept that maiming, that disability, yet as he beheld…

- "Another letter to Winterfell, Your Highness?" "Yes, thank you Rendil," Araphant answered the Rookery Master. The past eight months, Araphant had sent quite a few letters north to Lyarra, yet he had received no replies. It was coming to the point that Araphant was wondering if she was perhaps ignoring him as all his letters after his first, informing her that he was to wed soon, had gone unanswered. Araphant did not believe it was the work of any malice either as his letters to Elladan and his other…

- 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…

- Baela Eighth Moon, 113 AC When the morning came, Baela broke her fast before meeting Jacaerys, Luke, and her sister Rhaena at the stables.

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.…
