Tall ships and tall kings Three times three, What brought they from the foundered land Over the flowing sea? Seven stars and seven stones And one white tree. --- A Rhyme of Lore _____________________________________________ The Dúnedain's early history is very mysterious. According to their own witness and the many, many accounts that would later be written, the Dúnedain hailed from an island to the far west. The Isle of Elenna, also known as Andor, the Land of Gift, for it had supposedly been…- 309.2 K • Completed
- 3149 E.L His father coughed yet again, making Arvedui wince. Age was cruel, and not even the Dúnedain were immune to the passing of time. When their time came, they would age swiftly, going from the prime of their life to the decrepit frailty and senility of old age in less than ten years. And now over a century after his wife's death, Araphant would follow her into the afterlife. King Araphant was now a far cry from the imposing and intimidating figure he had once been. His hair had all turned grey, and…

- The old king could barely move now. Decrepit, senile, weak. Yet in his old age, lucidity enough he still retained to know what was happening. His kingdom, his beloved Arnor was fighting a war for its own survival. Arahad leaned on his cane as he stalked to the window on shaky legs. Fifteen years ago he had looked and felt like he was in the prime of his life, no older than a man of forty to lesser men. Yet when the time came for the Dúnedain to grow old, they did so exceedingly fast, like all the years…

- Twelfth Moon, 90 AC The Lady of the Vale Breaking your fast with your mother and sisters should have been an opportune time to strengthen family bonds. Daella just wasn't sure about any of that happening today. Her eyes moved around the room, observing her kin. Jocelyn, was as kind as she remembered. Her hair remained as black as a raven's feathers, and her eyes were still that dark purple, so dark they were almost black until the light shone on them. She had once been quite close to Jocelyn, so much so…

- Fifth Moon, 115 AC Laena Velaryon "I was thinking Laena. Mother and Father said that they've summoned Jace and Luke back home to High Tide. We should go and greet them when they return," Daeron said excitedly as he walked into her room. "Wasn't that a given little brother?" Laena retorted with a raised eyebrow. "Especially since Jace was sick, I think we're all a little anxious to see for ourselves that he is well. Still it is a bit premature for us to discuss this don't you think? It will be at least two…

- 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…

- Fifth Moon, 87 AC Jaehaerys Targaryen "So it is confirmed then?" he asked. "Not quite, but am I one of the leading candidates yes. Septa Laila nominated me as her replacement when she was still with us and the rest of the Most Devout will be convening soon to decide it. The raven should be coming any day now," his daughter answered. "That is good news indeed. And the Citadel Vaegon? What news?" "The Conclave is panicking to be honest. Driftmark's university, alone, was of little concern to them but now…

- Gawen Gardener 'Dark wings, dark words.' Never in his life had Gawen thought those words to be more fitting then the day the raven had come bearing news of tragedy and death. '…Goldengrove… fallen. The king… dead…. army destroyed…. survivors captured…. Arnor… overrunning the Northmarch.' He remembered the words unwillingly, forcing him to confront the truth. His father had lost. His father was dead. The memories came to his mind unbidden. Memories of sitting on his father's lap, reciting to…

- 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…

- 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…
