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…- 269.0 K • Ongoing
- 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…

- 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.

- 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…

- Moat Cailin was a mighty fortress. Twenty strong towers and three sets of curtain walls and a keep guarding the only easily traversable track of land for miles. Yet mighty or not, Moat Cailin was not impregnable, especially from the north. As they neared the fortress, Aragorn observed that it was under heavy attack. A fierce battle was raging there. Seeing that they were needed, Aragorn ordered his unit to ride faster toward the Moat. Even though the Neck had been slowly drained for decades, the Causeway…

- 5420 E.L The High King of Arnor and all its empire stood at the window of the House of Kings in Morlond. Farsighted as he was, he could see from here as his granddaughters continued to distribute food, blankets, and other necessities to the people of the city, refusing to return home per their oath. "You should be proud of them," he told his son Aragorn. "They have singlehandedly won the love and affection of the people." He knew the game that was being played here, yet for all the politicking, he could…

- 5420 E.L "Blessings on you and your family Princess," the woman said. Silmariën could only nod in response, feeling too guilt-ridden to say more. The poor in Morlond were starving and Silmariën and her younger sisters had taken up the responsibility of feeding them the rations, earning them much love and acclaim. It made her feel like a fake at times. They should be doing more to help these people, their people. What good was feeding them hard and small rations? Where had the once fabled wealth of…

- 5399 E.L. "A mirian for your thoughts Your Highness?" Lord Elured asked. He was the noble who had been chosen to be Aragorn's guide when he visited the province of Arnen, one of twenty-two colonial provinces in the far southern region of Hyarmen, the most remote part of the greater Arnorian Empire. "Breathtaking, and certainly very impressive; how tall can they grow?" Aragorn asked as he continued to look at the giant redwood trees. "Almost four hundred feet, Your Highness. The tallest we've found is…
