Second Moon, 108 AD (7 AC) Aegor Targaryen Their entire family watched nervously as his mother went to work, carefully using the glass candles to reach into the minds of his elder siblings and try and call them back from the darkness their minds had been lost in. There was a pin-drop silence in the room, none daring to disturb his mother’s concentration for fear that it would have dire consequences for their loved ones. That was why even his father and aunt were only watching. Mother was by far the…- 262.2 K • Ongoing
- 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.…

- Ninth Moon, 107 AD (6 AC) The Grand Captain Ser Edric Cuy almost cried for joy. The Stoney Sept, one of the most famous and sacred septs in Westeros was finally in sight and soon it would be restored to communion with the Faith for the first time in over a century. For far too long Ironman savages and Valyrian heathens had occupied the town and the sept. No longer. Today, Edric would liberate Stoney Sept from the oppression of the so-called ‘House Scales’ and their Targaryen masters. ‘First…

- Seventh Moon, 107 AD (6 AC) The Builder “Blane! Take a seat!” Darren said as he walked into the tavern. He smiled at the sight of some of his colleagues playing cards and drinking at the table in the corner. He took his seat and got dealt into the game once he finished ordering his meal and drink from the waitress, a rather cute and mousy young woman. Blane entertained the thought of asking her name before his colleagues cut him off with inquires after his day. “How was work today?” Darren…

- Fifth Moon, 103 AD (2 AC) The Gardener Mern could not help but smile at the sight before him. With a few words and a kiss, his eldest grandson and namesake had just secured the keys to Storm’s End for the Reach forevermore. He almost envied him. Argella Durrandon was quite the beauty, and the kingdom she was heir to even more so. Mern ruled the Reach as the Ninth of His Name, but when his grandson ascended his throne, he would rule both the Reach and the Stormlands and perhaps even more as Mern the…

- Sixth Moon, 102 AD (1 AC) The Red Lion Robert did not think he would ever forget how Casterly Rock had fallen. In seven days, Aegon Targaryen had done the impossible. He had brought the mighty and impregnable fortress to its knees with a legendary feat of dominance and deceit the likes of which the world had not seen since the Age of Heroes. Some of his loyalists were already likening his achievement to that of Lann the Clever and his trickery, justifying his rule over the Westerlands by declaring that…

- Fourth Moon, 102 AD (1 AC) Rhaenys Together as one, with their bond open to the fullest and their minds linked, Meraxes and her dived towards Castle Drumm, weaving in and out between volleys of arrows and scorpion bolts that bounced off of Meraxes’ scales harmlessly. The Westerlanders holding the castle were desperate, knowing that there was no escape for them. Without even a word, her dragon’s silver-gold flames emerged from her maw, spraying the battlements with dragonflame, blasting through the…

- Eleventh Moon, 101 AD (1 BC) Visenya “At ease,” Aegon said with a smile. The councilors who had risen to greet them all relaxed, though by decorum none took their seats until Visenya and her siblings did. Her son Aerion and her niece Valaena meanwhile went to the nearby table and began pouring cups of wine from the pitchers to serve to them and each of the ministers. The two of them had started serving as the council’s cupbearers this past year so that they might observe and learn how to govern…

- First Moon, 102 AD (1 AC) The Ranger Commandant Crowley and his fellow Rangers watched from a distance as the King and Queen blasted through the Golden Tooth with their dragons. The sight of Balerion and Meraxes in all their awesome power never failed to amaze him. Their preparations for this war had not gone unnoticed and the Golden Tooth had been fortified and reinforced with almost ten thousand men, many of them veterans from the campaign in the Iron Islands. They were under the command of Lord Roger…

- Third Moon, 97 AD (5 BC) Aegon Harrenhal’s colossal curtain walls rose as sheer and high as mountain cliffs from the flat fields, made out of black stone but so immense that in parts they were discolored and fissured. Atop the battlements, the wood-and-iron scorpions looked as small and numerous as their namesakes. Behind the walls rose five enormous towers, with the two tallest in the center not even complete yet but imposing nonetheless. Had he been any other man, perhaps Aegon would have been…
