- 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.

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.

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.

- Eighth Moon, 90 AC Viserra Dreamfyre beat her wings gently, relaxed but alert and ready. Beneath them, the Velaryon fleet sailed, larger than Viserra had ever seen it.
