Fifth Moon, 87 AC Alysanne "Construction of the fort on Bloodstone was completed three months ago. In the time since, our fleet has cleared through several pirate dens on the Stepstones but the moment we leave an island, the pirates always come slinking right back in," Ser Aurane, the youngest of the Velaryon brothers reported. "What of the locals?" her husband asked. She had always loved how he looked when he was trying to be serious and focused. "There aren't that many of them. Some villages of…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Garth Gardener He looked out the window to see the encampment of soldiers before him. Tents cluttered around the walls of Highgarden, stretching the camp a great distance outward. Men trained in the fields before the castle, readying for war. Smiths were hard at work preparing weapons and armour, swords and axes, hauberks and helms. The banners of his house, a green hand on a field of white, fluttered in the cool morning breeze, above banners of green, gold, and red, amongst others. Nearby, the Mander…

- It is better to make friends then enemies. 4003 E.L In the past few months, letters had been dispatched across Westeros. Ravens had gone to Winterfell, Falconrest, the Nightfort, and other important strongholds in the realms of the North, the Vale, and the Watch. The letters bore official invites to a meeting that King Aragorn of Arnor was hosting in the Arnorian city of Osgiliath. Though the letters held no hint that attendance at this meeting was mandatory, one did not simply ignore invites from the king…

- 5000 E.L There was a strange saying in Arnor. Doom is an old friend. It was quite a dark saying but it was true. Doom was a concept their people were very familiar with. If one traced their oldest legends, the story of the Silmarillion was that of doom, the doom of the many ancient realms, the doom that befell Beleriand, the doom that gave them Elenna the Blessed as home before it was taken from them. It was the doom of Númenor that had brought them to Westeros. For five thousand years, doom had…

- 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…

- Seventh Moon, 126 AC The Dragonless "Dracarys!" his great uncle the King commanded. Caraxes the Blood-Wyrm obeyed. His crimson flames consumed his great-grandfather's body relentlessly, burning until nothing was left of him. It was sad Corlys supposed but he didn't feel that strongly about it. He had never really been that close to his great-grandfather, nor had any of his siblings or cousins, even if the younger ones were crying. Funerals were generally sad events and the mood had gotten to them. His…

- Second Moon, 108 AD (7 AC) Rhaenys They had captured eight skinchangers alive. Twelve fallen bodies had been recovered as well, and ten more had escaped due to the presumedly warged pack of wolves and dogs distracting their soldiers. Thirty skinchangers in total, in addition to gods knew how many that had died near the Twins during Meleys’ rampage. How had they been so blind? So unprepared? Rhaenys still remembered how she and her siblings had rushed home when they had heard of the attack on the…

- Eighth Moon, 90 AC Viserra Dreamfyre beat her wings gently, relaxed but alert and ready. Beneath them, the Velaryon fleet sailed, larger than Viserra had ever seen it. Their masts were like a forest upon the sea. Every ship was full to the brim with supplies, weapons, marines, and mercenaries. A lot of effort and planning was needed to wage a war of conquest, so much so that it had taken them over a year to prepare for it, and that was with the neighboring Stepstones as a basing ground to make their…

- It was times like these which really made Beleg feel like a fool. Three hundred and fifty years he had worked in this office and he had never noticed that the desk drawer had had a false bottom. Three and a half centuries and he had never found his father's final words to him… until now. To my beloved son, I write this the day before I depart to war against Gawen and the Reach. Should I not return, then this will be my confession, my final testament. Six years ago, when my youngest brother Ostoher put…

- It had not been long before the Valyrians arrived. The moment she had learned of the situation, Jaenara had saddled Terrax as quickly as she could and then took off into the sky. They had taken off into a battlefield. In the skies above the entire archipelago, the last reserves of Valyria waged a punishing battle against the Arnorian defenders entrenched and dug into the mountainous islands. Jaenara watched as the dragons attempted to burn out the defenders in the fortress, but black stone was impervious…
