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…- 606.6 K • Completed
- 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…

- Viserra Second Moon, 91 AC "Maester Desmond has confirmed my suspicions. The poison was the Strangler. The symptoms match perfectly," Corlys said as he walked into the room. His words were calm and measured, but his face gave away his anguish. Viserra knew it was mirrored on her own. She sat on the edge of her bed, her mind brooding. "If I hadn't stopped you from drinking the wine… you'd be dead as well," she said, haunted by the thought. In response, Corlys wrapped her in his arms. "I'm here. I'm alive.…

- Second Moon, 91 AC Jaehaerys Whenever Jaehaerys made a decision he was unsure of, he found himself wondering what his elder brothers would have done in his place. His father Aenys had been a weak pathetic man who failed them all with his indecisiveness and mewling weakness. His uncle Maegor had been a cruel tyrant and kinslayer. Jaehaerys hated them both. They were unworthy kings and even less worthy men. No, it was not Aenys and Maegor that Jaehaerys looked up to. It was not even his grandfather, the…

- Second Moon, 91 AC Viserra "Seven blessings to you Zaldilaros," the woman said in Tyroshi. "You are most welcome," Viserra replied. Tyroshi Low Valyrian was hard to grasp at times, as it had evolved from High Valyrian in the past two centuries, but the two were still mutually intelligible. Most of Tyrosh's populace, including slaves who had been here for any longer than a year, all spoke Tyroshi to some degree or another. High Valyrian had been kept to only by the elites. She looked around at the…

- First Moon, 91 AC Viserra A silver seahorse leapt from the sea and shapeshifted into a dragon. The silver dragon flew up into the starry sky, where a red dragon awaited it, growling menacingly. In the land beneath, a tower wept tears of blood and a pale fortress was set aflame, burning into the night like a candle in the dark. Fanatical legions worshipped at a shrine before they arose, chanting as they marched, spreading war and chaos wherever they went. The wailing of a newborn babe became the roar of a…

- Twelfth Moon, 90 AC The Lion Lord Many of the nobles of the realm had gathered in King's Landing in the past month, as King Jaehaerys had invited many houses to meet with him to discuss and prepare a united front to move forward in light of the new trade policies and taxes. Unofficially, everyone had known that it was to unite the realm against the rogue House Velaryon. After a month of feasts and balls, discussions and enfeoffments, and carousing and negotiating, the time had come for a closing feast. All…
