4278 E.L Some days, Jaenara Belaerys wondered why exactly she had chosen to adventure into Sothoryos. It was hot, humid, and disgusting and all she had ever found was jungle, mountains, and desert. Rinse and repeat. Of course she had had an ulterior motive for choosing to leave Valyria but when that was excluded, she found it hard to understand why she'd chosen, willingly to undergo the past year of grueling exploration. Perhaps she was simply unwilling to admit that she had left Valyria for her own…- 309.2 K • Completed
- Everything changed when the Doom destroyed Valyria. With no rival left, nothing remained to stand in Arnor's way as it expanded its power and influence across the world. The centuries after the Doom would see Arnor's rise to become the empire on which the sun never sets, beginning the Second Golden Age as Arnor reached heights of power it had not attained even in the days of Alcarin the Glorious. Yet this Second Golden Age would ultimately find itself interrupted by the return of the Long Night, the coming…

- The Second Son of the High Tower Tenth Moon, 90 AC As a boy, Otto had once climbed to the top of the High Tower with his older brother Hobert. There the great beacon of the tower was set and they had watched enthralled as the wardens had fed more wood to feed the fire. Soon enough, Otto's attention had turned to the majestic view around him. The Hightower was the tallest structure left in the Known World after the fall of Old Valyria's topless towers, taller even than the seven hundred-foot Wall at the…

- Fifty years. Fifty years since he had become king, and finally he would begin the conquest he had dreamed of for so long. In all honesty, Celepharn was surprised that he had waited so long, but he had heeded his son Celebrindor's counsel. Arnor had not prospered by being hasty, and it was no insignificant foe that stood against them. Very cunningly, the old kings of the Arbor and Oldtown had arranged for the union of their kingdoms and houses and now their grandson was the king of both realms. Any other…

- The Sea of Myrth was calm and peaceful as they approached Myr. As they did so, Ciryaher whispered a small prayer that they would be able to take the city once more for Arnor, and maybe with any luck keep it this time around. However, before they could that, they had to first reach the city and finish crossing the Sea of Myrth, which Ciryaher knew was by far the most dangerous part of their plan. The first three days after departing Pentos had not been an issue, as they sailed through the Narrow Sea.…

Tenth Month, 968 ARR (32 BBY) Darth Maul With a savage smirk, Darth Maul withdrew his lightsaber from where he had gutted the proud Jedi Master. Qui-Gon Jinn had been a worthy opponent. Tall, powerfully built, and skilled with his favored lightsaber form, Ataru. But his age had begun to show, his chosen lightsaber style had tired him and in the cramped room about the reactor shaft, the older Jedi Master had not had the room to move as much as his preferred form demanded. Nonetheless Maul took pride in…- 13.5 K • Ongoing

- "Do you stand by your decision?" Aranarth asked "I do," Prince Earendil answered. "Why?" Aranarth asked, more calmly than the Prince expected. "What justifies not keeping your oath to your King?" "Is he my King? That's the problem with all of you, Loyalist and Purist both. Both of you claim that your leader is the rightful king. To Dol Amroth, such dissension could only mean war. Why would I throw my men into the fire for either side? How can I tell my knights that they may not see their families again…

- The hardest choices require the strongest wills. A massive water spout rose from the river, shielding the fleet as the dragons dived in to blast them with fire. Aragost ducked to the side to avoid the massive splatter of water as it fell upon the ships, knowing it would likely be painfully hot. The moment the water spout was gone, the Arnorians counterattacked with the usual hail of arrows and bolts, driving off the dragons. "Quickly men! The dragons will be back! We need all our men and supplies on the…

- Fifth Moon, 87 AC Viserra At times Viserra wondered why it was she was allowed to enter the Dragonpit. Her parents had never expressly forbidden her a dragon, yet neither had they granted their permission either, so why was she allowed into the pit? The temptation was there, all she had to do was reach out her hands and grab it. Unbidden, forgotten childhood memories came to mind recalling how Saera and she had asked for a dragon like their eldest siblings. They had never actually been told 'no'. They had…
