      59.Of Crooked Cruelty Cover
      by Gladiusx 26th Day of the 2nd MoonGarlan Tyrell, up the Rose Road The Battle of Rushing Falls had been bloody, and Garlan could remember it too well. He remembered every foe he had slain, but one young face haunted him—brown, doe-like eyes full of fear. It wasn't anyone special of great lineage or a storied house… just some boy too young to even see a battle, let alone fight it. Ultimately, Mathis Rowan had a thousand more men and a third more knights and used his reserves to surround the left flank and…

      by Gladiusx 15th Day of the 2nd Month, 299 ACThe Besieged Bog Devil Howland was beside himself with worry. His worst fears had come true, and the Dothraki scouts belonged to a Khalasar. His misfortune was somewhat limited, as the foe they had provoked wasn't one of those infamous horselords commanding tens of thousands of screamers. Still, the man they faced was more than the Northmen could handle. Ten days ago, Khal Polo, with over six thousand horsemen, had arrived before the gates of their fort, demanding…

      by Gladiusx 24th Day of the 1st Moon, 299 ACSepton Glendon, Cobble Cove (The Reach) He hailed from a small, peaceful village, Grey Creek, in the Northmarch. A third son, completely unassuming, with an ordinary face, brown hair and eyes; there had never been anything special about him. Hailing from a long line of farmers and coopers, his blood could not be any more ordinary. Yet Glendon had been a pious boy, and his parents sent him to the Septry for learning. At twenty, he became a septon; then, at fifty, he joined…

      by Gladiusx 11th Day of the 1st Moon, 299 ACThe Bronze Yohn, The Vale The birth of his grandson filled the Lord of Runestone with joy. The gods smiled upon House Royce, for there were no complications in Sharra's birth, and the newest member of House Royce was robust and healthy. The babe had a mighty pair of lungs on him, and his bellows could be heard across three rooms. In the end, the boy was named Robert Royce for his booming cry and in honour of the Demon of the Trident. Robert Baratheon's death made the…

      by Gladiusx 17th Day of the 13th Moon, 298 ACCortnay Penrose, the Kingswood Their camp was a mess, but they had won the battle. At the earliest estimate, fifteen hundred were dead, but the enemy had lost nearly twice as much, and many more had been captured. A good chunk of the second were Essosi sellswords, which would hang by noon. "Don't move, Ser," Maester Lymon shuffled around Cortnay's left, wrapping around Penrose's broken forearm. The knight could only grit his teeth at the slivers of pain jolting down…

      by Gladiusx 10th Day of the 13th MoonRobb Stark, Winterfell "I dreamed Father was fighting together with the stone-faced men," Rickon had muttered when they broke their fast in the solar one morning. The words quieted all of them. "Stone-faced men?" Mother's voice was filled with trepidation. "Aye," his younger brother nodded, hungrily swallowing a piece of bacon. "The ones in the crypt." It had happened two days ago, and ever since, Catelyn Stark had been inconsolable. They had all suspected when no word…

      by Gladiusx 1st Day of the 13th MoonJaime Lannister, King's Landing Mustering the Crownlands had turned out far harder than Jaime had expected. He had to visit many lords in person, and even then, most were not eager for war and only gathered the bare minimum of knights and men at arms. The Clawmen had yet to answer any ravens, and half of the envoys sent to them had yet to return. Yet even this couldn't take his mind off his woes. The things he did for love… His father had disowned him—not publicly,…

      by Gladiusx 7th Day of the 12th MoonGarlan Tyrell, Appleton Planning a wedding and rebellion while on the move was cumbersome. The Reach had too many men, and any army bigger than half a hundred thousand would face logistical woes. So, Renly was forced to decide how to split his forces. The Stormlords were mustering in Wendwater Bridge under Ser Cortnay Penrose and would try to take King's Landing while Lannister was still hundreds of miles away in the Westerlands. Lord Mathis Rowan was to gather the Lords of…

      by Gladiusx 4th Day of the 12th MoonThe First Ranger, Outside the Wall Benjen had hoped otherwise, but his nephew and Maester Aemon were proven right - the wights were real, and the brothers liked it little. Regardless, they sallied out, prepared to fight them and relieve the fort. They had to abandon their steeds; none of the horses wanted to get close to the tide of wights drowning the wooden fort. The hounds were much the same. Fighting in the night was messy. The lights of the torches and fires blurred…

      by Gladiusx 18th Day of the 11th MoonGarlan Tyrell, Bitterbridge Two ravens had arrived with them in the Caswell seat - a white one from the Citadel announcing the arrival of autumn and a black one from King's Landing, carrying black words with it. For a day, Renly looked as smug as a cat that had just caught a songbird when the raven of Joffrey's wedding to Myrielle Lannister arrived. "Of course, we cannot let such an injustice stand," his father declared righteously when Renly presented the book of the…
