GYLORO OTHERYS - THE SEALORD OF BRAAVOS

The dinner arrayed on the trestle table made him salivate. Two maid-servants and the head chef of his residence were in the intimate dining room next to said trestle table, ready to serve them. Gyloro and his family took their seats around the dining table. As their patriarch, he sat at the head, his pulchritudinous wife on the left of him. On his immediate ...

AEGON

Like every other night for most of this last year, sleep did not come to Aegon. He thought of having a servant bring him dreamwine, but he decided against it. The maester had told him not to take too much of it, or else he would become dependent and the portion les...

Incoming Changes to the Patreon

I'm almost out of university (i'm just about to begin my final year), and with the end of university, one has to think of what comes next, career-wise. Sad to say, my country is riddled with unemployment, corruption and therefore my chances of securing a stable job are quite low despite having a decree.

In regard to this, I'll use what I earn here to sustain me in the interim, and for me to ensure that I can actually survive with the income I receive from here, I'll ...

BAELA

Second Moon, 132 AC | The Narrow Sea

This was the final lap she would make in her patrol, Baela swore. The entirety of the night and the morning had been spent atop Silverwing, flying circles over Shame Isle, watching for any new fleets sailing from the West to invade the south-western most isle of the Stepstones. Sleep was heavy beneath her eyelids that struggled to stay open. A soreness could be felt rising through the ...

ALIANDRA NYMEROS MARTELL

Tenth Moon, 131 AC | Sunspear

The sky outside the Tower of the Sun was grey; fitting, Aliandra supposed. The sun had been absent since the day her father had died, two turns of the moon ago. Maester Maldon might have claimed that it was only the winter grey hiding the sun, but Aliandra had lived through other winters, and in Dorne, she had never lived a day without seeing the sun or feeling its warmth. ...

DALTON GREYJOY - THE RED KRAKEN

First Moon, 132 AC | The Westerlands

The Kraken King surged through the waters of the Sunset Sea with great speed, its oars rising and falling into the sea with the rhythm of the drums. In the east, the full moon was already in the sky, it’s silver sheen reflecting off the waters as they sailed onward. Westward, the sky was as red as blood, the sun setting behind them and providin...

Eleventh Moon, 131AC | Tyrosh

BAELA

Her head was pounding as she slumped on her feather-bed in her and her sister’s suite in the Archon’s Palace. The lapping of the waves of the midnight sea reached her through the high windows she had just ordered opened, but it did little and less to soothe the ache. A heavy groan left her when her handmaid, Dyanna, gently reminded her that she was still dressed in her day clothes. <...

LYSANDRO ROGARE - THE MAGNIFICENT

Tenth Moon, 131AC | Lys

The scent of seawater and the songs of seagulls floated through his open floor-to-ceiling window, gently awakening him from his slumber. His primary residence was built with an oceanfront view, and every morning he woke up to the sight of the tide receding into the sea. He rolled out of bed easily, the luxurious Naathi silk that his nightshirt was made of crackling on hi...

VISERYS 

Like he had done since the day he arrived here, Viserys toured the camp of their army. It was evening, fishing vessels were bringing in catches for the camp's evening meal. He had eaten nothing but seafood for the past six days, and frankly, Viserys was getting tired of it. Food in his captivity had a lot more variety, he had to sourly admit, but he was ...

THE NORTHMAN, THE DRAGON’S TOOTH  | ELDRIC UMBER

“Faster!” Edric beckoned the squire who was pulling the latch to tie the breast-plate to his body, anger clear in his voice. The boy was a lazy one, and Eldric would ensure left his service as soon as they had returned from this mission. Edric Umber was not one to tolerate such blatant sloth.

It was the darkest hour of night; wi...

Excerpt from ‘Fire and Blood: Aegon II Targaryen - The Reign and Regency of the Broken King’ by Archmaester Rhaegar Targaryen

.…The Hour of The Wolf ended only six days after it had begun, on the tenth day of the fourth moon of the 131st year after Aegon’s Conquest.
