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…- 309.2 K • Completed
- 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.…

- "I can't do this anymore Jaenara. I watched your father turn from the man I loved into everything I hated. I won't watch you do the same, watch you become just like them, just another dragonspawn," her mother said. "Mother please!" But her pleas were for naught for Lina jumped off the balcony then and out of her daughter's life. In the present, Jaenara Belaerys woke from her sleep with a gasp. It was just a dream. Her mother had died many years ago but the memory had never faded, haunting her. As part of…

- 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…

- It is better to make friends then enemies. 4003 E.L In the past few months, letters had been dispatched across Westeros. Ravens had gone to Winterfell, Falconrest, the Nightfort, and other important strongholds in the realms of the North, the Vale, and the Watch. The letters bore official invites to a meeting that King Aragorn of Arnor was hosting in the Arnorian city of Osgiliath. Though the letters held no hint that attendance at this meeting was mandatory, one did not simply ignore invites from the king…

- Angrendacil: 3600 E.L "Do you ever wonder, how things could have been if Father hadn't died?" he asked. His mother Amarië looked at him, "Every day." "You know what I have to do Mother. Could you forgive me?" "Does it matter? Whatever my answer is, you will do it regardless. Go Arahael. Do as you will. I have no power over you. I never did," his mother said bitterly. Arahael left the room, leaving his mother behind. His flagship was awaiting him in the harbour. Yet as he was still barely within earshot,…

- 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…

- The Dark Years were a time of despair and weakness. Arnor plummeted from the prosperity, peace, power it had enjoyed and entered an age of strife, struggle, war, weakness. Yet when one hits the bottom, the only place left to go is up. Though dark and full of struggle, the kings in this period ruled with an expectation and hope that their realm would not remain weak forever. Arnor would rise again one day. XXIV Araphant the Queenless 3021-3149 Araphant was born in 2750 and died in the year 3149 at the age…

- 3154 E.L Five years. That was how long this blasted war had lasted. Arvedui had not been the one to start it, but he would finish it. He owed it to those who had given their lives for the cause. The prisoners he had let die in Morlond, the friends he had sent to their deaths in Tircarnë, and everyone else who had died for him in this war. "Launch another volley," Arvedui commanded. It had been over sixteen hundred years since Arcalen had last fallen, and back then it had been named something else…
