      by Tertius711 Ninth Moon, 107 AD (6 AC) Visenya Gulltown was in flames. A brutal battle was underway as its defenders fought fanatically, street by street, door by door. The Faith had had too long to spread its insidious roots inside the city and far too many of its Militant were still at large, riling up the townsfolk and garrison alike. Even after the two branches of House Shett had defected to their side for promises of land and vengeance upon the Graftons who had reduced them to mere knights, Visenya and her…

The three of them were having their luncheon together today, a private meal Irina had invited her goodsisters to. They would be eating a light meal of more simply flavored (though no less delicious) chicken and some rice and garlic-fried vegetables to accompany it.

      by Tertius711 "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. Under the Admiral's orders, Tyrosh had been mercilessly bombarded for the past few days with a storm of boulders and arrows that endlessly fell upon the city's defences. Though the walls emerged unscathed, the morale of the city's defenders had doubtlessly fallen. Their siege towers reached the outer walls of the city this time and their battering rams had reached…

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.

      by Tertius711 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.

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. His eyes, or as they should have been if one had not been torn out and replaced with cold, hard emerald long ago.
