Tenth Moon, 122 AD (21 AC) The King of Hardhome The past six years had been some of the hardest in Loren’s life. He had thought adjusting to the harsh cold life on the Wall after decades in the royal golden splendor of Casterly Rock had been difficult but Hardhome had been a whole new level of difficulty. The cold bit and gnawed into his bones worse than it ever had on the Wall, and food was scarce and hard to come by. Farming was difficult and hard in the lands of Storrold’s Point, now renamed…- 262.2 K • Ongoing
- Eighth Moon, 108 AD (7 AC) Rhaenys The past few months had passed like a blur to Rhaenys. She felt distant from everything, trapped in the back of her mind and cut off from the world, like everything else had gone dull and grey. It had been five long months since she had seen any of her family. They spoke over the glass candles but it just wasn’t the same. They weren’t here to hold her, here for her to hug them tightly and never let them go. Instead, they were all so far, far away from her. She…

- Ninth Moon, 97 AD (5 BC) The Lion Prince They saw it long before they reached it. Five black towers stretching high into the sky in the distant horizon beside the waters of a lake so large it looked like the sea. It was another two days’ ride after that before they finally arrived though. Had he been any other man, his jaw might have dropped in shock at the sheer size of Harrenhal’s walls and towers. They rose as sheer as cliffs and as high as hills and even the gatehouse was larger than some entire…

- Ninth Moon, 107 AD (6 AC) Visenya Gulltown was in flames. A brutal battle was underway as its defenders fought fanatically, street by street, door by door. The Faith had had too long to spread its insidious roots inside the city and far too many of its Militant were still at large, riling up the townsfolk and garrison alike. Even after the two branches of House Shett had defected to their side for promises of land and vengeance upon the Graftons who had reduced them to mere knights, Visenya and her…

- Sixth Moon, 116 AD (15 AC) The King of Hardhome He sighed in honest, earnest relief, when they finally set sight on Hardhome. It had been a terrifying few months, filled with more fear than he’d felt in fourteen years, since the last time he’d been in the presence of a dragonlord. Just as he knew they always would, the Targaryens had finally come for the North, for Brandon Snow, and the sheer scale of the brutality and savagery unleashed by both sides was unreal. Tyrannical heathen dragonlords and…

- Third Moon, 123 AD (22 AC) Rhaenys “It all leads here in the end,” Rhaenys could not help but think as Hellholt came into view. In another world, another time, she had died here. She could imagine it in her mind’s eye. The scorpions bristling on Hellholt’s walls would unleash their deadly loads, a stray lucky bolt would pierce her beloved Meraxes’ eye, and they’d both plummet to their doom. If she was lucky, she would die on impact, and if not… Rhaenys did not normally like to dwell on such…

- Seventh Moon, 107 AD (6 AC) Rhaenys They almost made it too easy, Rhaenys could not help but think. Almost the entirety of the Vale’s army had massed at the Bloody Gate, cramming its battlements and barracks to the brim and filling the valley behind it with their tents. They stood in a perfect formation, ready to throw back their own army marching up the road, as they had thrown back and bloodied every invader in history, earning the gate its name. But they were not like all the other invaders of…

- Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. I've improved significantly, incredibly, as a writer since I wrote LOTK so I thought, I'd write a sort of appendix, a sort of finisher. An analysis of sort of some of the arcs I wrote and overall what I think I could have done to write it better in hindsight, and if I wrote LOTK again now (not that I intend to) what could and should I have done instead? If you guys are interested, you could stick around for this little essay of mine. So where to begin? At the start I…

- Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I… I took the path less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. -Robert Frost (The remaining three rulers of Arnor missing from the Annals of Kings have been added to this edition.) XXXX Arathorn II 5342-5421 The fortieth High King was born in the year 5094, and he would die three hundred and twenty-seven years later in 5421. The early years of his life were spent dividing his time between Arnor and the North who were at the time separate wholly. The…

- Only a day after the battle and it was warmer than it had ever been for years. The thaw had come as the darkness abated. The unnatural clouds had dispersed and the sun's light shined warmly on Winterfell. If Winterfell was feeling the impact of the Great Other's death and the defeat of his servants so far north, surely Arnor itself and the rest of the empire were already well on their way to recovery and stability? Twenty years of a cold dark winter, and it seemed spring was finally on its way. The…
