Fifth Moon, 87 AC Aurane Aurane was waiting on one of the battlements of Maegor's Holdfast. His brother was currently speaking with the king, having been invited for a private audience. The invite had been worded politely, but it had been clear that refusing was not an option. When Jaehaerys Targaryen commanded you to attend to him, you obeyed. The reason for the invite had not been said, but it had been obvious to Aurane and his brother. Half the court was expecting a betrothal announcement any day for…- 606.6 K • Completed
- To talk about the lands beyond Arnor, Arnor itself must first be defined. The Kingdom of Arnor as of the writing of this text is made up of everything in Westeros south of the Neck and south-west of the Mountains of the Moon, along with all corresponding islands. Once the Kingdom also held the Stepstones and Lys which are currently occupied by Valyria. Perhaps one day, the flag of the White Tree will return there as well. Over the course of Arnor's long history, it conquered numerous kingdoms and…

- Excerpt from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace Novelization by Terry Brooks They were close to the throne room now; it lay only another story up and several corridors back. Padmé felt a fierce exultation. She would have the Neimoidian viceroy as her prisoner yet! But the thought was no sooner completed than a pair of destroyer droids wheeled around one end of the hallway, swiftly transforming into battle mode. Mere seconds later, a second pair appeared at the other end, weapons held at the…- 13.5 K • Ongoing
- Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I… I took the path less traveled by.

- 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…

- Artys Arryn counted seven thousand through the far eye. Seven thousand invading troops that had come to take Strongsong and end their rebellion in the bud. They very well could he knew. For all the prestige his taking of Strongsong had brought him, it had not been enough for all the forces opposing his cousin and her Arnorian masters to fully rally to him, with many either fighting on their own or choosing neutrality over a fight they could not see themselves winning. He needed to prove them otherwise. And…

- Jaenara was woken from her sleep by the screams of the men and giants, the people, her fellow dragonlords immolated. Their gazes were judgmental, accusing, demanding to know why she had stood by and done nothing. Even now, three days after the execution, the memory still troubled her, plaguing her with nightmares that deprived her of sorely needed sleep. She got up from her slumber and sat on the edge of the bed, head in her hands. It was at times like this that Túrin's words five years ago came to…

- 4397 E.L They had failed. Three years of war had seen the Arnorians slowly pushed up the Rhoyne before the advancing Valyrian army. It hadn't helped in the slightest that the Valyrians could attack from Norvos and Qohor as well as Volantis. In many ways, the war had been over the moment Garin had lost, yet still they had fought on. The Arnorian forces had shed their blood, sweat, and tears to defend their allies but with the fall of Ny Sar, the war was all but over. Aragost was very much not looking…

- "Peace is only an armistice in an endless war." - Thucydides "Mother? What are you doing out on the balcony, you should come in." "I saw you racing with your siblings on your dragons earlier," her mother said. Jaenara was changing out of her racing breeches into a more comfortable dress and replied, "Did you? It was so amazing Mother! I could feel the wind all over my face! It was exhilarating. It's a pity I didn't win, but Terrax is quite big and slow and I'm quite inexperienced so they said it was…
