77.Into the Chasm
23rd Day of the 7th Moon, 299 ACTyrek Lannister Tyrek thought the world had ended after the enormous rumble that shook the world, making him leap off his bed in fright. It was a familiar rumble, something he had heard a handful of times before, if somewhat weaker–but he had been prepared back then. Yet the terrible sound was but a herald of what was to come. "PLUMM, GET YOUR MARKSMEN ON THE LEFT PORTION OF THE LION'S WALL! BENFORD, SHIELDS TO THE RIGHT BARRICADE! PUSH THEM OUT!" Tywin Lannister's…- 671.1 K • Completed

76.Teetering on the Brink
19th Day of the 7th Moon, 299 ACEddard Stark, Outside of Myr Unlike Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis, the walls of Myr were made of ordinary granite. It was of no surprise since, according to what Ned remembered from his childhood lessons, the town was either founded by Valyrian merchants or had started as a walled Andal town, conquered by the Freehold later. Forty-foot tall curtain walls dotted with watchtowers, squat gatehouses, and a garrison were more than enough to keep armies out of the city until the…- 671.1 K • Completed

75.Precipice of Destiny
17th Day of the 7th Moon, 299 ACDavos Seaworth, Tyrosh Tyrosh's walls loomed above the harbour, and the normally turquoise waters of the Narrow Sea had turned dark and turbulent–choked with bodies, smoke, debris, and burning ships. War sounded ugly and looked uglier still, but he was almost used to the sounds of death and agony, and the men around him were chanting with battle lust. "BARATHEON!" "LADY STONEFACE!" A glance at his charge made the former smuggler feel even heavier at heart.…- 671.1 K • Completed

74.Of Bonds and Blood
7th Day of the 7th Moon, 299 ACSer Braxton Bulwer the Red, Outside King's Landing Ser Braxton Bulwer was a simple man, not one for overthinking or scheming. He was good with a sword and a warhammer, far from inheriting any lordships or even minor estates, so all he could do was put more effort into martial pursuits. Nothing awaited him in peace, aside from being a hedge knight and wrangling in tourneys with hundreds of others like him. He had almost sailed North to join the Watch and win some honour and…- 671.1 K • Completed

73.Shadows
27th Day of the 6th Moon, 299 ACThe Young Wolf, south of Crakehall Rage was a curious thing. Some men said fury ran hot like a raging volcano through the veins, while others claimed it cut like the frigid chill of a blizzard in the coldest days of winter. Then, there was the Lord of Barrowton, who received word of his son's ignoble death at the hands of zealots in the North. He did not say a thing then, looking like a statue more than anything, reminding Robb of his ancestors immortalised in stone in…- 671.1 K • Completed

72.A Perilous Encounter
24th of November 1994, Thursday (5 days later) Harry Potter He ignored the thunderous cheer of the crowd and focused on the arena below as the first contestant emerged. The Quidditch Stadium had been completely remade and expanded. The seats were tripled in number, and each one was filled with wizards and witches coming to watch the Tournament. The grassy ground below was expanded and replaced with rocky terrain, dotted with miniature ridges, hills, and small chasms; a great spiked dragon…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

72.A Fatal Misstep
12th Day of the 6th Moon, 299 ACThe Bog Devil, Myrish Marshes The air was heavy with the buzzing of flies and mosquitos; the stilted smell of the marshland nostalgically tickled his nose, soothing Howland's taut nerves after the massacre. "Never seen man so small and so dangerous," Zolo's words came out stilted as he patted Howland's shoulder. His smile looked almost demonic as his copper-skinned face was splattered crimson with blood from the earlier battle. The self-proclaimed Ko of Khal Eddard…- 671.1 K • Completed

71.No Going Back
19th of November 1994 Saturday (6 days later) Juno The intent to battle was so thick she could almost taste it. Her gaze roamed about the Chamber, and she gave a slight nod. Spellfire fluttered across its length, illuminating everything in myriad colours as the club members duelled with fervour. The air was thick with the whistling of magic and the students’ laboured breathing. But there were no incantations. Even their youngest members could now fight silently, each spell coming out smooth and…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

71.Downfall
8th Day of the 6th Moon, 299 ACThe Captain-General, Volantis Sieges were a messy affair. For the defenders, it was a test of resolve, a trial of will, and a game of waiting and numbers, as uncertainty hung upon their heads like a headsman's axe. The fate of those behind the walls should a city fall was tragic at best. Yet the attackers were not spared the risk either–laying siege broke armies and shattered causes. Ser Barristan had never had to defend a siege before but could imagine the woes…- 671.1 K • Completed

70.Shadow of War
12th of November, 1994 Saturday (4 days later) Mr Malfoy Lucius slumped onto the sofa, feeling completely drained, exhaustion seeping all the way into his marrow. The last few months’ tension was a near-constant ache between his temples, hard to dispel, and had wrung his mind dry. Just as he was drained, so was the Malfoy family. His own freedom—and that of his children and future grandchildren—was bargained away for a Wizengamot seat, the long-cherished Malfoy dream. That was no great…- 469.5 K • Ongoing
