In this fourth volume of the Annals of Kings, we will examine the lives of the Kings of Arnor who oversaw the greatest wars in our history and their aftermath. This is a time spanning seven centuries, an era marked both by a new rising in Arnorian power and by great losses and tragedies that the nation had no choice but to overcome to survive. Having recovered from the Dark Years, the centuries of weakness that had followed the Kin-Strife, the renewed Arnor had turned its gaze upon a rival which had…- 309.2 K • Completed

- The Second Son of the High Tower Tenth Moon, 90 AC As a boy, Otto had once climbed to the top of the High Tower with his older brother Hobert. There the great beacon of the tower was set and they had watched enthralled as the wardens had fed more wood to feed the fire. Soon enough, Otto's attention had turned to the majestic view around him. The Hightower was the tallest structure left in the Known World after the fall of Old Valyria's topless towers, taller even than the seven hundred-foot Wall at the…

- Eleventh Moon, 86 AC Aurane The day after their dinner with the royal family, Aurane and Corlys got up to take control of the Royal Fleet. Per their directions, the officers of the royal fleet had gathered in one of the buildings in the port, and much to Corlys's consternation, it was not an official building owned by the royal fleet and used to hold their records and meeting rooms. No, it was just a simple warehouse keeping the royal fleet's supplies that the ship captains also used to hold their…

- 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…

Immediately upon leaving King's Landing, Daemon and his company were faced with a choice. Where should they go now? Aegor Bittersteel offered the hospitality of his kin in Stone Hedge in the Riverlands but Quentyn Fireball suggested that they go instead to the Reach as they had far more friends there that would gladly house them and the kingdom was much more enraged by Daeron II's actions than the Riverlands. Quentyn knew his fellow Reachmen well and knew they'd be as infuriated as he about the ludicrous…- 36.8 K • Completed
- In the first volume of this book, we examined the reigns of the first eleven High Kings of Arnor, ending at the short reign of Amlaith, the eldest son of Earendur Falastur and the short but bloody War of the Three Brothers.

The second and third millennia of Arnor's history are noted first for being years of swift recovery from the War of the…

- Tenth Month, 968 ARR (32 BBY) Darth Maul With a savage smirk, Darth Maul withdrew his lightsaber from where he had gutted the proud Jedi Master. Qui-Gon Jinn had been a worthy opponent. Tall, powerfully built, and skilled with his favored lightsaber form, Ataru. But his age had begun to show, his chosen lightsaber style had tired him and in the cramped room about the reactor shaft, the older Jedi Master had not had the room to move as much as his preferred form demanded. Nonetheless Maul took pride in…

- With the establishment of the Black Swords and the Knights of the Round Table at the dawn of 190 AC, Daemon now had his knights and they were quick to act. Donations flooded in from all of the affluent members to equip and feed their burgeoning chivalric army and the Black Swords organized themselves into an efficient and orderly chain of command underneath the Knights of the Round Table, one based not just on birthright and status but on merit, fame, competence as a knight, chivalric character, and the…

- Aurane Velaryon Eighth Moon, 85 AC Back home in Driftmark, it would have been the eighth month of 85 AC. Of course, here in Yi Ti, the calendars were dated from the founding of the Bu Dynasty, known to the outside world, as the Azure Emperors. This was Aurane's fifth visit to Yi Ti, and it would likely be his last. Like all the previous times, he came accompanying his elder brother Corlys as one of his captains for his expedition fleet. Yet unlike all the others, where they had come simply to trade,…
