Naemidon Blackfyre
A light snort escaped the king at the suggestion that the Stark boy wasn’t the type to indulge in desires of the flesh, followed shortly by the crinkling of his lips at his daughter’s apparent naivety on the matter of men. That was a promising sign, the father decided. “Your...
Naemidon Blackfyre
Despite Vaella swiftly falling into the vacant seat across from him, Naemidon was unsure if she planned to say much at all. The only princess of the Blackfyre lineage seemed far and distant, with a contemplative expression darting her face. It reminded him of her mother...
Naemidon Blackfyre
The conversation was over in a moment.
As the hatred came spewing from Arlan’s lips, Naemidon could tolerate his vitriol no longer. The mention of Maekar and the accusation that Naemidon was who murdered him brought the Blackfyre over the edge. His body shot forward with...
"Be naht me seat to give'ya. But Lord-Flay-Me-Naht has seen fit to accommodate our king's pretty pet already."
- Captain Manderly
Despite the topic between the two war battered veterans, Manderly’s cheshire grin was wider than it had been in days. Upon Bolton’s agreement on the usage of his...
Gurn son of Gurn
The Fire Finger
From the distance between his perched tree and that of the great stone fortification, the chieftain of the Burned Men could barely make out the individual, flapping flags that covered the great keep’s walls. If he wasn’t so familiar with their design, they’d be...
King Naemidon
Reluctance
Seldom did sleep come easy in these trying times. Often, Naemidon found himself laying on his bed, the finest silks from Yi Ti to Asshai adorning the carefully plucked goose-feather pillows resting both under his head and feet. Long has his shape been memorized by the...
Naemidon Blackfyre
Indolent
‘My children.’ Naemidon growled in silence as he watched Arlan Blackfyre pour wine for his sister, disregarding have of his king’s demands when it came to apologizing. He would’ve spoken up, had the incident ended at that, but the Blackfyre King felt his ire grow...
Naemidon Blackfyre
Irate King
The Red Keep
It was fitting, in a way.
Everyone present seemed to be having an adequate time. Past rivals sat, drank and japed together in the halls of their king. Already, stories were being told that put blushes on the faces of young squires and maidens alike...
Gyles Hightower
King’s Landing - The Red Keep
There was an all too familiar rhythm once Gyles entered the room. Hightower gave the bow, his hook hand limp at his side to avoid any unnecessary tears in his tunic. Proper greetings extended between both men, with the younger of the two keeping...
A cup offered.
The wine drank, though a dryness in his throat persisted.
Not even the ambrosia of the gods would be enough to quench his thirst.
And then he listened.
Through interruptions from the soon-to-be Lord Piper, the careful words of the assumed successor to Robert eroded her...
Lord Argilac Stark
Stark Encampment - North of King's Landing
As fond of reminiscing as he was, Argilac Stark didn't agree to host Lord Blackwood solely for that purpose, nor was his brief relationship with his children all that important to Argilac. He appreciated the compliments hefted...
Gyles Hightower
King’s Landing - The Red Keep
Rapid footsteps.
Metal scraping on metal.
And an irritable lord’s scowl was what the servants of the Red Keep and its newest guests were greeted to, should they come across Hightower and his retinue of four. His grey cloak billowed behind him...
Outside King’s Landing
The Greying Wolf
Argilac Stark
The whimper of rain washing over the Stark tent first stirred Lord Argilac’s consciousness from his rest.
Whispering winds carried through the encampment, its whistling music to the ears of the not-quite risen wolf.
The final straw...
King’s Landing
City Outskirts
Gyles Hightower
“To the Crone, those left incarcerated in mortal form beg thee for the wisdom that these lost lambs failed to heed, that so our days of individual liberation comes with the warmth of the father instead of the Stranger’s scorn.” Shivering under the...

Viserys Velaryon - Hand of the King
(NPC)
“To the Father, we send you Lord Ormund Baratheon. May the Father judge his child justly.”
Crack.
“Take this child into your arms, O’Mother Above. May he be offered mercy in your company.”
Crack.
“May the Warrior Lord Ormund...
Balthazar Darklyn
Hand of the Queen
The Red Keep
By the time Balthazar finished speaking, having said his peace, the Hand expected to hear words from Qoren Martell. A detailed explanation on whether or not this strategy was worth pursuing, if the Dornish lord had similar opinions as the older...
Balthazar Darklyn
Hand of the Queen
The Red Keep
As the door moaned open, Balthazar's eyes shot forward. His vision blurred with age, but the dark skin of Darklyn's replacement was impossible to mistake for any other. If he had any doubts, Prince Qoren's voice squashed them. The smaller man...
Steffon Dayne
The Sword of the Morning
Maerie's Brothel - King's Landing
Without fail, Shiv abandoned her priests room once Lord Dayne entered. The Dornish peasant was embarrassed, Steffon imagined. 'Or maybe she wants me out faster, so they can return to their activities uninterrupted.' He...
Steffon Dayne
King's Landing
"Ya'r first time in Kin's Landin', m'lord?"
The chirping from the mistress of the night continued. A friendly woman, Steffon had no interest in small talk. As he followed her to the second floor, the Dornish Lord removed his hood. Steffon didn't know how the...
