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…- 606.6 K • Completed
- 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…

- Seventh Moon, 94 AC Viserra It had been over two years since the Morghon Revolt had been crushed. Those two years had seen a massive turn in House Velaryon's fortunes as Tyrosh was brought under their full control. Now, House Velaryon ruled in Tyrosh absolutely, unquestioned, unchallenged. The militant Stars, which had been loyal but worryingly fanatic and independent, had been greatly bloodied and their numbers had been thinned during the revolt. The survivors had been recruited and assimilated into the…

- Second Moon, 92 AC Viserra Corlys had dreaded this for months, and now that it had come at last, Viserra finally understood just a little why he had been so worried. Tyrosh was in flames. The loyal Ser Jaremy had described how the arrest of a Tower had turned sour, and now a massive mob was rioting and tearing through the city. Their call to arms was a roaring chant of death. "Morghon," they cried, calling for death; death to the infidels and heretics, death to the tyrants and usurpers, and death for…

- Second Moon, 92 AC Viserra Just a few more days, and it would mark one year since Rhaekar died. Even now it was still hard to believe that he was really gone, but he was, and the world had moved on without him. Aurane and Alys had had their first child, a child that would never know an uncle, a son named Rhogar. Soon, Viserra would have another child that would also never know its uncle as well. Beyond Tyrosh and House Velaryon, the world turned, uncaring of their loss. The Targaryens had successfully…

- Viserra Viserra Second Moon, 88 AC She shivered briefly as her father took her cloak off. The three-headed red dragon of House Targaryen was soon replaced with the silver seahorse of House Velaryon as Corlys wrapped his own cloak around her protectively. She nestled in the warmth. The High Septon spoke as he brought out the ribbon. "My lords, my ladies, we stand here in the sight of gods and men to witness the union of man and wife. Corlys Velaryon, and Viserra Targaryen have come before the Seven today to…

- Third Moon, 91 AC The Lady of Maidenpool "Mother!" Maegon called out to her eagerly as she arrived in his rooms. At three years old, her younger son would be starting his lessons soon, but for a little while longer at least, he would be free to play all day. His toys were strewn around the room, including a stuffed dragon her father had gifted him. She tried not to think about it, but sometimes she wondered if she was a good mother. She loved her sons dearly, if someone like her could love, but even they…
