Sixth Moon, 109 AC Rhaenys "Viserys, what do you think should happen with the Velaryons?" she asked her husband and cousin. He sighed. "I've told you once before that my opinions are yours did I not?" "And I appreciate your support, but when my own opinions are yet to be fully formed, I need counsel from my husband, unless your opinions are as unbuilt as mine? Be frank with me Viserys, what are your honest thoughts?" Rhaenys said sternly. Viserys' unconditional support was endearing at other times, but not…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Third Moon 109 AC Viserra Nine years had passed since her family had moved back home to Driftmark. In those nine years, Corlys and her had worked hard to prove that their people's faith in them was not misplaced. They had strived to rebuild Driftmark's shattered economy in a myriad of ways. First of all, they had reined in their defiant vassals; Wendwater, Bar Emmon, and Sunglass. All three had had little choice but to accept their invites to several feasts on Driftmark celebrating House Velaryon's return…

- -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. As aforementioned, Lord Daemon was none other than the uncle of Jaehaerys himself, and so the presence of Jaehaerys, his sister-wife Alysanne, and their three eldest children, Princes Aemon and Baelon, and Princess Alyssa, at the funeral, should not have been a…

- Sixth Moon, 109 AC Viserra Her father had died late in the third moon of 109 AC. It was early in the sixth moon now. Though many had been increasingly coming to court to pay their respects to the ailing king, the true tide of arrivals had begun arriving once his death and the date for his funeral was announced across the realm. Every lord, great or small in the Crownlands, down to even the smallest landed knight had come. The great houses of the realm had all arrived, those former royals like Lannister,…

- Third Moon, 109 AC Gael Targaryen "Well here comes another useless bootlicker," her husband complained. Gael turned her eyes to the supposed licker of boots in question, Lord Otto Hightower of Highwatch, Governor of the Stepstones. She smirked at her husband. "You were the one who decided you wanted to attend court today. You could have been drinking with your cronies and captains out in the city instead." Daemon returned her smirk. "You would have complained if I did that." Gael smiled softly. "And you…

- 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, 100 AC Viserra They had left Driftmark to conquer Tyrosh in the eighth moon of the ninetieth year since Aegon's Conquest. It was the first moon of the hundredth year now. Nine years and five months that she had spent away from her true home. Nine years and five months since she had last seen that wondrous isle. Those years had changed Viserra greatly. She was not the foolish and reckless young girl that had conquered a city anymore. The passing of time and her experiences had wizened her, aged…

- Viserra Seventh Moon, 98 AC "Dracarys!" Viserra commanded as Dreamfyre dived. Instantly, a column of blue flames emerged from her maw. A rain of fiery death pouring from the sky. Within minutes, the enemy fleet had been reduced to smoldering planks and cinders burning on the sea. Fools, Viserra thought. The Ghiscari had forgotten the might of dragons and had thought to defy them yet again. She looked back to her fleet which now sailed north for Velos completely unopposed. Corlys must be disappointed that…

- Viserra First Moon, 98 AC A zealous army marched forth from a pale fortress. As numerous as the stars, they waved silver-green banners and chanted for victory as they marched ceaselessly towards the sea where a great fleet of ships awaited. Suddenly the banners faded into embers, the army into ashes, and the ships into cinders floating upon the sea. The pale fortress burned, its splendor igniting into flame, its silver towers melting into a sea of rising tides. Dragons roared in the sky, and the earth…

- Twelfth Moon, 94 AC The Storm Lord Things were not going to plan for Boremund Baratheon. The Velaryons should have been humbled in Tyrosh, crushed by his older brother's sanctions and forced to return to beg his mercy. Instead the opposite had happened. They had defeated all who would defy them in Tyrosh and had begun to rebuild the city, reaping vast profits and wealth. They had forced Otto Hightower to back down in the Stepstones Crisis. His older brother's sanctions had proven useless. House Velaryon…
