The Sea of Myrth was calm and peaceful as they approached Myr. As they did so, Ciryaher whispered a small prayer that they would be able to take the city once more for Arnor, and maybe with any luck keep it this time around. However, before they could that, they had to first reach the city and finish crossing the Sea of Myrth, which Ciryaher knew was by far the most dangerous part of their plan. The first three days after departing Pentos had not been an issue, as they sailed through the Narrow Sea.…- 309.2 K • Completed
- 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…

- 4287 E.L Aelyx Belaerys felt as exhausted as the army he led. Much like his fellow dragonriders and the forces they commanded, he was utterly bone-achingly exhausted. How could he not be, after two years of killing endless Arnorian hordes at the price of several of his comrades? Some of the dead had been his rivals and enemies, but just as many had been his friends and allies, men and women he had known since he was a child. They had all died just the same. After two years of that carnage, Aelyx could…

- "Are you sure about this?" Túrin asked as they walked out of the prison. He had thought Jaenara had come up with some elaborate plan that involved them busting out of the prison in a blaze of dragonfire. The truth was far less exciting. Jaenara had used her position as a dragonlord to get a visit to see him in the middle of the night. The plan had them walking right up to Terrax, and then flying off. "Just like that? You sure it's going to work? I'm quite certain that they would think something is off if…

- 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…

- "Push forward! We are soldiers of Arnor, we will not allow this fortress to defeat us!" Túrin ordered to his men as they charge toward Tyrosh. Under the Admiral's orders, Tyrosh had been mercilessly bombarded for the past few days with a storm of boulders and arrows that endlessly fell upon the city's defences. Though the walls emerged unscathed, the morale of the city's defenders had doubtlessly fallen. Their siege towers reached the outer walls of the city this time and their battering rams had reached…

- Somewhere off the coast of Pentos Prince Ciryaher stood on the command deck of his flagship. The invasion had been synchronised such that his fleet would reach Pentos with a few days of the fleets attacking Myr and Tyrosh though delays in communication had led to the fleet setting off slightly later than scheduled. It had been almost four days since his fleet had set off from Tol Mor and Essos had been sighted to the east. A few hours after that and they had found the Pentoshi fleet defending the bay in…

- 4285 E.L It is said that lesser men defied the dragonlords of Valyria at their peril. Yet between Arnor and Valyria, who is lesser, and who is greater? Who is imperilled and who is the peril? The harbour of Vinyambar was bursting with warships. Men were hard at work, loading the necessary supplies and weaponry onto the countless ships that awaited them. It was only a short distance to the Stepstones, but they would be fighting no ordinary foe but rather beasts out of the Silmarillion. Dragons and all the…

- Jaenara had almost finished telling her tale now, barely able to hold in her tears from remembering the painful way her mother had left her. "After that, I was in a daze for the next few years. I didn't know what I wanted anymore, didn't know if I wanted to be Valyrian or Arnorian. All I knew was that I had to get out of Valyria, it was too painful to stay there any longer. As soon as I came of age at eighteen, I submitted my expedition details and left Valyria." Túrin was speechless, "Jae- Jaenara, I'm…

- 4280 E.L She woke slowly from her dreams. Túrin was seated beside her in a chair. "Hey, don't stress yourself too much," he said. "What, what happened?" Jaenara asked, still disorientated as she looked around. Túrin must have brought her back to the camp as they were both currently in a tent and she was lying on a bedroll. "Whatever that thing was, it got into your head. You walked off in the middle of the night and I went after you. At the same time the Brindled Men infiltrated the city and attacked us.…
