Eleventh Moon, 86 AC Viserra Targaryen The court had been in quite the fuss for the past month ever since it had become publicly known that the new Master of Ships was none other than Lord Corlys Velaryon, the Sea Snake himself. The announcement by her father had sent the court into a flurry of gossip, rumor-mongering, and endless bounds of curiosity. After all, the name of Corlys Velaryon was probably world famous by now, even to some of the smallfolk. Who hadn't heard of the Westerosi lordling who had…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Elendur The ironwood forests were a sight to behold. Decades ago, his father, King Valandur, had obtained ironwood saplings and seeds from the lands north of the Neck. Fruits and grain had been seen as more valuable to the northmen than the hardwood at the time, and so they had accepted the deal gladly Now, dozens of years later, Elendur walked in the forests his father had planted, marvelling at the height and girth of the black-wood trees. Ironwood had been so desired by Arnor for its strength and…

- To talk about the lands beyond Arnor, Arnor itself must first be defined. The Kingdom of Arnor as of the writing of this text is made up of everything in Westeros south of the Neck and south-west of the Mountains of the Moon, along with all corresponding islands. Once the Kingdom also held the Stepstones and Lys which are currently occupied by Valyria. Perhaps one day, the flag of the White Tree will return there as well. Over the course of Arnor's long history, it conquered numerous kingdoms and…

- Artys Arryn counted seven thousand through the far eye. Seven thousand invading troops that had come to take Strongsong and end their rebellion in the bud. They very well could he knew. For all the prestige his taking of Strongsong had brought him, it had not been enough for all the forces opposing his cousin and her Arnorian masters to fully rally to him, with many either fighting on their own or choosing neutrality over a fight they could not see themselves winning. He needed to prove them otherwise. And…

- 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, 122 AC The Summer Islander Once he had been Jhallador Zhas, a proud warrior and chief retainer in the service of Prince Xhallabar Xho, the Prince of Lizard Head off the coast of Jhala. But no more. He was nothing now. Just a sad exile drinking away his sorrows in a Lyseni tavern. He tightened the grip on his cup and took another swill of his wine as his bitterness continued to fester. Exile. The Priests of Love had always insisted that their way of warfare was superior to that of other peoples…

- First Moon, 108 AD (7 AC) Aegon Balerion roared as they approached Wendwater Bight, the seat of House Wendwater on the mouth of the river from which they took their name. Vhagar, to their left, answered in kind as they converged upon the castle, espying the banners laying siege to it. Three were most familiar and prominent among them. A triple spiral of red, blue, and green on white, a leaping blue swordfish on fretty silver and white, and a ring of seven seven-pointed gold stars on a field of white.…

- Viserra Fifth Moon, 89 AC The storm had delayed them. Viserra felt the wind blowing through her hair and the rain lashing onto her cheeks. Her father and brothers had laid their dragons down near Greenstone Castle but Viserra had chosen to land Dreamfyre near the port. Near the men of her house. The Velaryon fleet had moored near Estermont, receiving its last supplies from skiffs rowing from the jetty as they waited for the storm to pass. Everywhere she looked, the Velaryon seahorse proudly flew, prancing…

- Cirion could only stare in horror. There was no name, in Sindarin nor Quenya, for that which stood before him. The Men of the West had never had the misfortune to encounter one before but those they ruled, the Casterrim, and the ever elusive Children had called them the Others, White Walkers. Cirion drew his sword, and so too did Aglaran beside him. There would be no time to string their bows. With a sudden burst of speed, the Other charged at them, deftly sweeping and thrusting its blade. Elegant,…

- "Are you sure about this?" Túrin asked as they walked out of the prison. He had thought Jaenara had come up with some elaborate plan that involved them busting out of the prison in a blaze of dragonfire. The truth was far less exciting. Jaenara had used her position as a dragonlord to get a visit to see him in the middle of the night. The plan had them walking right up to Terrax, and then flying off. "Just like that? You sure it's going to work? I'm quite certain that they would think something is off if…
