Prologue I. The bells of kingslanding

    by: AlexanderTheMediocre Author IconMail Icon
The bells all around the capital, Kingslanding, sounded, the distinct sound of centuries-old bells could be heard all the way from Visenya's hill to the muddy streets of Flea Bottom. From ladies of the court to craftsmen and merchants in the docks and the kids playing in the streets, everyone knew what it meant. The King has passed. Robert Baratheon, once the mighty Lord of the Stormlands who overthrew the centuries-old Targaryen dynasty, had succumbed to his wounds. He had ruled the kingdom for seventeen years, at least, his hand and council managed the kingdom while Robert had been out drinking and whoring, in truly kingly fashion. Now, everything would change. Even now there it is rumoured around the city that the hand had tried to orchestrate a coup against the young King Joffrey.

The king's two younger brothers have both abandoned the city. Lord Stannis has been in his keep on Dragonstone, having taken the royal fleet and spending increasing time with the red lady, Melisandre, and her fiery eastern religion. The youngest of the Baratheon brothers, the charming Renly who has been the Lord of the Stormlands since his brother assented to the Iron Throne. Royal scouts have seen him and his personal retinue riding south with haste, in all likelihood planning his course of action in these troubled times.

In the east, the young Targaryen heirs still roam around, the ones Robert couldn't get to, that is. Reports have come from the east that the princess married a mighty horse lord from a Dothraki callisar, and her brother is set on crossing the narrow sea back to their homeland. Loyalists can still be found around the kingdoms, especially in Dorne.

In the red keep, Queen Cersei, the pride and beauty of the Lannisters, has secured the place of her son as the rightful heir, while Tywin and Jamie are raging war in the Riverlands after the capture of Tyrion the Imp by Lysa Arryn.

In the North the Starks are furious due to the wrongful and sudden imprisonment of their lord-father. Even Jon is questioning if he should ride south back from the Wall after word reached him. As long as the Starks stick together the pack survives but they seem further apart than ever.
