    Threadmarks: Pate I

    Pate I Pate weren't no poacher. His da were, of course, so he was the son of a poacher, but not one himself. He knew this to be true, because when they got caught way back when he was a youngun, his da got the rope, and he got whipped. Poachers get the rope. His da always told him that. But he...

    Threadmarks: Joffrey IV

    Joffrey IV Joffrey had grown to detest the small council chamber. It was an ugly room with an oversize table, and full of people who seemed to only present him with troubles. But, as king, this was his task to suffer. If he allowed vital matters of state to be decided without his knowledge, it...

    Threadmarks: Sansa IV

    Sansa IV Sansa's father seldom came to her wing of the Red Keep. The man seemed to shun the woman's side of the castle, too stubborn and blunt for the subtle games of court that women played. Even as a youth, torn from her home and mother, thrown into the grand dance that was the Royal Court...

    Threadmarks: Jon I

    Jon I The lands beyond the wall were beautiful. It was not a thought Jon would have ever imagined having in his youth, nor was it a beauty he would have been capable of seeing. But, as the weight of his near three decades seeped into his bones, it was the crisp air of the lands far north that...

    Threadmarks: Tyrion I

    Tyrion I Tyrion Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, ruler of the Westerlands, lived a farce. He was an ugly dwarf living in a mountain of gold, overseeing the wealthiest land in the Seven Kingdoms. Tyrion could easily imagine some Essosi playwright, thinking themselves all too clever, crafting...

    Threadmarks: Eddard V

    Eddard V The state of the realm was a snowstorm of dire tidings, each flake threatening ruin. The news was miserable enough that Eddard had little idea what to discuss first. It scarcely mattered, for all was important, and all must be dealt with. "The armies of the North united with Lord...

    Threadmarks: Sansa III

    Sansa III The dresses her ladies in waiting had found were beautiful, but Sansa could not focus on them in the least. The fabrics, the cuts, the new styles… she could not engage with them at all. Her mind danced away from the subjects at hand to those more dire. But Sansa did not permit...

    Threadmarks: Theon I

    Theon I Pyke was a miserable castle, windy, cold, and damp. Theon had thought he had gotten used to the blasted thing over the last decade. It's creaks and moans, and its insufferable drafts hounded him and defied his attempts to fix. One would need a treasury greater than Casterly Rock if one...

    Threadmarks: Sansa II/Eddard IV

    Sansa II Sansa clutched at her stomach, holding back the tears in her eyes. It wasn't fair. It wasn't right. Her life was supposed to be perfect now. Her trials were supposed to be through. The Seven ere supposed to look upon her and smile. She was queen! Her beloved Joffrey was king! The...

    Threadmarks: Joffrey III

    Joffrey III Aegon the Conquerer was a blithering imbecile. It was the only explanation Joffrey could believe. Oh, sure, the Iron Throne was a marvelous symbol: the swords of the conquered reforged into the very chain that shackled the Seven Kingdoms. Hundreds of blades, many of which were the...

    Threadmarks: Eddard III

    Eddard III "Ser Umber succumbed to his wounds in the night, joining Ser Greenfield." Ser Moore stated blandly. "Making it two of our number the traitor slew." There was no emotion in his voice, no sign of concern on his face. The Lord Commander of the Kingsguard was a strange man, with few, if...

    Threadmarks: Robb II

    Robb II "Robb!" The call of his name forced Robb out of his bored affect. Torn from watching the decent-enough juggler, he set his wine goblet on a servants tray and turned around. "Theon!" He didn't really care for the impropriety or stares. He rushed across the hall to his friend. They...

    Joffrey II Joffrey was departing the stables when one of the household staff accosted him. "Your majesty? Were you heading into the city? Have you not heard?" Joffrey was set to ride onward, ignoring the man, but his uncle had stopped and motioned for him to do the same. He sighed and glared...

    It is not his greatest showing, though, but Sansa tries to keep it hidden. A massive sheet of ice, bridging from the Lands of Always Winter, across the arctic circle, to the lands directly north of the Five Forts (near Mussovy), that appears to be suspiciously similar in composition to the Wall.

    Threadmarks: Robb I

    Robb I This was not the first time Robb had visited Castle Black. He made a point to visit his base-born brother whenever the opportunity arose. Sadly, it was not an opportunity he enjoyed often. With his father down in King's Landing, Robb found himself inundated with duties as the Stark in...
