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.

The tallest we've found is…- 309.2 K • Completed
- Twelfth Moon, 94 AC The Storm Lord Things were not going to plan for Boremund Baratheon. The Velaryons should have been humbled in Tyrosh, crushed by his older brother's sanctions and forced to return to beg his mercy. Instead the opposite had happened. They had defeated all who would defy them in Tyrosh and had begun to rebuild the city, reaping vast profits and wealth. They had forced Otto Hightower to back down in the Stepstones Crisis. His older brother's sanctions had proven useless. House Velaryon…

- Eighth Moon, 108 AD (7 AC) Rhaenys The past few months had passed like a blur to Rhaenys. She felt distant from everything, trapped in the back of her mind and cut off from the world, like everything else had gone dull and grey. It had been five long months since she had seen any of her family. They spoke over the glass candles but it just wasn’t the same. They weren’t here to hold her, here for her to hug them tightly and never let them go. Instead, they were all so far, far away from her. She…

- Twelfth Moon, 90 AC Alyssa How had it come to this, Alyssa wondered? Two years ago, all had seemed right in the world. Viserra had just had her newborn sons, the alliance and bond between Houses Targaryen and Velaryon had seemed stronger than ever, and Alyssa had felt like she was finally clawing her way out of the melancholy that had haunted her for years, returning to who she had once been, little by little. Now though? Now that alliance was in pieces, the broken shards strewn on the floor, edges sharp…

- "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…

- Sixth Moon, 109 AC Jacaerys They had left King's Landing within a day of his altercation with Daemon. His mother and Lucerys had refused to speak to him at all the day they returned to High Tide and even after that their few limited interactions had been curt and cold. He wasn't exactly sure what his younger siblings thought. Daeron and Laena were certainly upset about his recklessness and their consequential separation from their friend Aegon but they seemed to be supportive of him against Daemon overall…

- First Moon, 97 AD (5 BC) Rhaenys Targaryen “Lykirī Meraxes,” Rhaenys whispered in High Valyrian to her beloved silver dragon.

- Second Moon, 124 AD (23 AC) Elaena Lys was truly a lovely city, Elaena thought. A city of trade and luxuries clinging to a sunny fertile paradise island with palm and fruit trees, soft white sands, and deep blue-green coastal waters teeming with fish. The streets were well kept and clean, with properly built and sealed sewers. A pleasant floral scent emanated across the entire city from its many pleasure gardens full of beautiful flowers. The people were lovely to behold as well, almost all of them having…
