19th Day of the 3rd Moon, 299ACTyrek Lannister, the Golden Road Bridge Tyrek Lannister was a dutiful squire and always did his utmost to fulfil the orders of his lord or knight. Being the late king's squire had been a heavy challenge, and not in the honourable way, the way the mettle of men was forged. It was a relief when his Uncle took him in as his aide. Yet his relief was short-lived. The Lord of Casterly Rock was nothing but demanding in every aspect. Shining his armour, spars,…- 671.1 K • Completed
- 9th Day of the 3rd Moon, 299 ACThe Lord Regent, King's Landing Last night had been a disaster, but Joffrey had lived. Everyone who wasn't deaf could hear his angry shrieks throughout the Red Keep. "I want them dead, all of them, DEAD!" They had been so close to defeat, so close, and at the hands of some angry gutter rats instead of Renly's blades or Mace Tyrell's schemes. Should Joffrey have perished last night, their cause would have been crushed. Without Tommen or Joffrey, Myrcella…
- 4th Day of the 3rd Moon, 299 ACMelisandre of Asshai, Warg Hill She looked at the bright comet streaking betwixt the stars. Once, she would have thought it a sign from the Lord of the Light. Yet there were still no visions in the flames. Not that Melisandre needed them anymore. Now, her eyes were open, and she could see. She could see so much that it felt as if she had been blind before. Subtle colours wiggled into ribbons and danced around or clung to men and beasts like cloaks…

- 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…

- 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…

- 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…

- 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…

- 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…

- 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…

- 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,…
