It will crush against us, and it will, for a while, be rough, but I think as soon as it makes landfall in earnest, it will simply die down.” He held up the quill, the feathery end pointed at the horizon. The maestar took a few steps away from the horses. “What does all your training at the Citadel make of this?” “Just thinking aloud, Albar,” Rhaekar said. A quill rested in the man’s hand, end resting on the paper. The beasts were mulling about, eating the grass, while the man held a large piece of wood with a parchment upon it. A man in brown robes, with a large metal chain wrapped around his throat, stood there beside two horses. The man, Rhaekar Valzyren, turned his head to look behind. They parted, and at once, laughter left the man’s throat. They continued to widen, at last displaying two rows of ivory teeth. As his violet eyes gazed at the scene, the man’s lips curled upwards. A low rumble came from the horizon, with lightning splashing across the darkness in a sporadic manner. Out towards the narrow sea, clouds as dark as night were approaching the land. The sky was already overcast, with the heavens as gray as the sea was blue.
The man lifted his eyes and gazed out at the bay itself.
As always, my only hope is that people enjoy what they read. In addition to the Game of Thrones mod, I’ll be using most of the expansions for Crusader Kings II, except for the Aztec stuff, as well as the Conclave DLC. Their family crest will have a unicorn on it, partially because I’d played around with unicorn crests in the past, and partially because I have a two-year old daughter who likes unicorns. I’ve also created my own house, like I did with Threedrop, this time with a Valyrian character to start off with. (You can read about the actual, canonical conflict here.) I chose this starting point partially because I haven’t seen it done in a lot of other AARs, and also because it presents a nice what-if scenario where Westeros could go into a different direction. After some consideration of where to start it, I decided to start it at the Dance of the Dragons, which starts in 129 AL, some 169 years before the events in the first Song of Ice and Fire book. This AAR will be more in the vain of the Threedrop AAR. (Seriously, mod-makers, if you’re reading this, you did an astounding job.) I decided to venture back in, both to do some creative writing, and also just to have some fun with the universe. I’d also forgotten how fun the Game of Thrones mod was for Crusader Kings II. Martin in disguise.) I’d also felt like I hadn’t done some creative writing in a long time, and the Threedrop AAR was indeed fun to do. (Even if it ended up being so depressing some people took to questioning whether or not I was George R.R. I was actually pretty proud of it, and had forgotten how well received it was. A while ago, I started rereading my House of Threedrop AAR.
