The Tribunal of Dontell Lott

The End of the Arwyn Highport
You think I wanted to keep this to myself. I was screaming out for help. I was dreaming of escaping. Pondering ways to die wasn't something I did because I was happy. Natalie, I was screaming...just no one was listening. Where were you Natalie? Why didn't you protect us? Where were you?

Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.
Robin Highport

After nearly a year of the sexual abuse caused by Arwyn it is Lara that becomes pregnant with the child of Robin and coming to the conclusion that she is pregnant she attempts to abort the child but is discovered by her mother who stops her and then has her access to a doctor restricted without her being around. Realizing that she needs to keep the secret abuse under wraps so that it can continue it is Arwyn that travels to Tree Hill and meets with Robett Highport of whom she convinces that Lara was raped by Dontell Lott of whom is in actuality innocent but Robett hates the Lott family so believes the lie and gives her command of a Tribunal from Fogtown tasked with investigating the charge. Given this power its Arwyn that sends Robin, and Lara to stay with her family at Castle Rowohlt as she knew that he would try to protect Dontell due to his friendship with Percival Lott. While the Fogtown Tribunal investigates the matter its Arwyn that engages in a smear campaign across Fogtown hosting numerous dinners where she has the nobility convinced that Dontell Lott committed the rape, and in return for a perceived loyalty to their liege lord they support this action. While she is doing this she is left without any real resistance due to the Tribunal placing House Lott on house arrest within Castle Lott. Dontell for his part is brought to Fogtown and held within the Fogtown Prison, and at first he was kept in very bad conditions and for two days recieved no food, but this changed when Robin learned of what was happening. Having been hidden away at Castle Rowohlt its Robin who learns of the tribunal through a letter sent to him by his sister Natalie who goes against her mother in a way that her mother failed to see coming.

Lara Highport

Lara would give birth to a girl of whom became the first child of Robin and her and this child is named Natalie Highport after their sister and this naming is meant by Lara to incite interest by Natalie of whom has been too busy with running the family to notice what has been going on. After years of being sexually abused by their mother it is the failure of this naming of her baby to incite the interest of Natalie that would finally break Lara's ability to accept the life she was living. Lara would attempt suicide by hanging herself, but her attempt failed when the rope broke and as she got up from the floor she discovered Natalie had entered the room and the emotionally shattered Lara would reveal to Natalie everything that their mother had been doing to her and Robin. Following this Natalie would find her mother and while Lara secretly watched from the door it was Natalie that got into a massive argument with her mother which in the heat of this argument it was Natalie that stabbed her mother killing Arwyn.

Robin Highport

Nathan Scott would be sent to Fogtown as his father secretly was in the final stages of the plan for the First Battle of Tree Hill, as a means of protecting his hopeful heir. Leaving Tree Hill he was joined by his betrothed Margaery Tyrell, and alongside a group of his friends, and her entourage they were meant to be educated by the Highports for several months as the public reason for this move. Alongside Nathan went a small entourage of his friends, and several of Margaery`s hand maidens of which brought a large contingent of servants with them leading to a rather large convoy making its way to Fogtown. Nathan and Margaery were by this point being paired up alongside Nathan and Haley and Dan had chosen Margaery to go with him as he preferred Margaery over Haley and thus wanted to sway the Tyrells into moving before Peter Scott stepped in. The group made there way from Tree Hill southward towards Nighthold where they would be transported to Fogtown by fleet, and arriving at Nighthold it was the group that added several darker figures to its ranks when the Bandits Lothar Calnalys, and Walderan Heitmann of whom had much darker ideas in mind when it came to the trip. The trip by the water was uneventful with the internally torn Nathan confused about his feelings he treated Margaery with kindness but was also constantly thinking on Haley Scott, and even in the back of his mind it was Taylor James that came to him. Nathan at this point simply knew that his father and grandfather were trying to find the best match for him, and while he personally still longed for Taylor, he publicly showed favoritism to Margaery in his goal of pleasing his father. As they stopped at Bronheim to resupply it was Margaery that seduced the very conflicted Nathan, and this did work to change his mind about her as the once deeply religious Margaery changed herself to please Nathan. The two delayed the move from Bronheim by several days as the now smitten Nathan would decide to take her on a carriage ride to the nearby Waterfall of Bronheim. Spending the day at the waterfall it was Nathan that learned more about Margaery and discovering she was not the silent conservative girl he had assumed her to be he continued to change his mind about what he wanted for his future. Eventually after several days visiting the waterfall and spending the nights together it was the group that was forced to continue their way to Fogtown, but as they were leaving, they were told of the Falls of Fogtown.

I do not know what happened to that girl back in the village. All I know is that she did not have even half as good a time as your sister is going to.
Nathan Scott

Returning to the water they eventually arrived at Fogtown but instead of landing in the city it was Nathan and Margaery that landed north of the city near the village of Fogtownist where they would make there way to the Falls of Fogtown. While Nathan, Margaery, and (find several of the friends) spent the day at the falls planning to spend the night there, it was Lothar, and Walderan and their Lions of Castamere men that would get drunk back at Fogtownist and Lothar would rape a young girl there before the group fled making their way to their boat and towards Rosenghard which was there true destination all along. So as the main party delayed at the waterfall of Fogtown having a good time, it was the villagers of Fogtownist that sent word to Fogtown about the attack. The villagers arrived at Fogtown ahead of Nathan’s party who was just leaving when they arrived, and they went immediately to First Knight of Fogtown in the form of Johan Highport who took the matter seriously. Johan would gather several knights to his side and go to his son Kevan bringing him with him as he planned to investigate the matter. Learning of the detour taken by the party of Nathan its Natalie Highport that is sent by her father to meet with Nathan. Natalie who is distant from her husband Dontell Lott travels without him accompanied by only her personal guards, and her handmaidens. Meeting Nathan’s party on the road several hours from Fogtown she is attracted to him from the moment she sees him, and while Nathan is polite with her, she is openly flirtatious with him to the annoyance of Margaery Tyrell. Seeing this flirtation and fearing for her position its Margaery that begins planning to create a schism in Fogtown so that she can get him to herself.

Robin Highport

While riding outside Fogtown with Percival, and Dontell they see the Tree Hill party arrive and return to the town where they arrive just in time to be introduced to Nathan Scott, and Margaery Tyrell who have arrived alongside a small entourage of his friends, and several of Margaery`s hand maidens of which brought a large contingent of servants. Also in this group he finds his sister is among them and the way she is lookDuring this initial meeting Robin and Nathan speak briefly before Nathan leaves taking the hand of Robins sister and asking her for a tour of the city something that clearly upsets Margaery which Robin notices and goes to her to try and smooth things over. Speaking with Margaery changes everything as she tells him that he should be worried about Natalie as Nathan has issues with women and that is everything she can do just to keep him from raping her and as she talks she begins to cry which causes Robin to hug her and as he hugs her he flashes to memories of the abuse by his mother but is pushed out of this by a push from behind as Nathan pushes him to the ground also knocking down Margaery. Alongside this fighting was a fight between Robins friend Percival Lott, and Nathan`s friend Oswart Dunny of whom had also started to become hateful towards the other due to their friends rivalries. Margaery made special efforts to be seen by Nathan around Robin and she worked hard to become his friend so that their relationship appeared to be something strong enough that Nathan would believe in the lie he was being told by Margaery. The two boys without anymore effort hated each other and got into a massive fight in the Highport keep which ended with bruises, and cuts. Nathan decided to take it further and begin flirting with Natalie Highport of whom resisted him in one of the first rejections of his life which caused him to get angry and it was in this anger that Robin found him, and the two fought once more which was broken up only seconds before they were going to take swords out. With this fight leading to almost the death of one of the boys Robett Highport wrote to his Lord Dan Scott telling him in no uncertain terms that his son Robin was at fault and that Nathan should be removed from son before Robin did something worse. Nathan would learn of this in a letter from his father telling him he was returning and he threw this information in Robin`s face of whom now realized once and for all his father hated him, and this was only made worse when Robett told his family he would be following Nathan and Margaery and going to stay in Tree Hill for a time.

I want you to know that you are a complete embarrassment to me. Your behavior is not something I will ever allow in my heir. Look to your future carefully, Robin. For I am not it.

Second Battle of Tree Hill - Arrival

The armies of the alliance would land around all sides of Tree Hill intent on retaking the lost city.

For a warrior waiting years for something to happen, he didn't seem to care much that the army he was waiting to arrive got destroyed.
Saiden Scarlet

As the Lucernian/Gondorian/High Forest alliance destroyed the Orcs that had held the Gondor siege of Minas Ithil for many years immediate plan became the movement of portions of this army towards the besieged city of Tree Hill. Jurden over the decade of the siege had become obsessed with maintaining his own power, and had basically become uninterested in actually ending the siege through conventional means. Alongside this he also had a growing belief that the humans were completely useless and for all of these reasons Jurden Hardaxe made no effort to double his scouts or anything that might have assisted him in stopping the coming ambush. And if all of this added up wasn't enough he was also still being whispered to by Morrigan who was telling him that the crisis was the other Orcs in the area. Following the gathering of the forces of the alliance in the area they would organize themselves into seven main armies. The 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 7th armies would travel towards the port of Klausburg. Landing at Klausburg they would meet with the local leadership there and made their decisions on the direction of there forces. The 1st, 3rd and Fourth would move up the Oakheart River and land near Castle Prennig where they would move from there towards Tree Hill. The 7th army would be sent up the Bresklo River where it would land at the ruins of Glendt Hold. The seventh army would be joined in this campaign by forces mobilized from House Brentfurd as well as House Winklebock. The 2nd army would land at Vinterbold Hold north of Tree Hill and joined by forces from the area they would prepare to move to Castle Interbold and then to the north side of Tree Hill. The 5th army led by the Westerlands Arch Lord would land at Castle Hackenholt where they would move against Tree Hill from the west. The final army in the 6th army would be formed from the southern vassals of the Stormlands and led by House Crane they would move themselves to the city of Leiblinshire where they would attack towards Tree Hill form the south.

The arrival of the vast armies of William Lovie III. would have major effects on those forces already around the Stormlands. The first major effect was following the news of victory at Minus Ithil. House Guntbold who had been named the Arch Lord of the Stormlands following the collapse of Tree Hill realized that with the goals of William becoming clear they were going to have to pick a side in the coming conflict. It was Lothar Guntbold that would push his nephew Edric Guntbold who was at the time the Arch Lord of the Stormlands to see the error of the side they had picked and to call a council of House Guntbold. Following this call it was Lothar that left Guntbold Hold to return to Lucerne and be at the side of his friend James Lovie II. The council would be attended by all members of House Guntbold except for Winfred Guntbold, and his wife Ophellia who remained at Klausburg but sent their son Winfred Guntbold II. to act in his stead. At this meeting it was decided that House Guntbold would change sides to William Lovie III. and would send both Winfred Guntbold II. and Athilda Guntbold to William Lovie III. to open this dialogue. The pair would take a ship from Guntbold Hold and travel along the rivers of the Valley of Lucerne where they would eventually stop at Vindale Hold which they knew would be the eventual crossing point of the armies of William in their move back west. When the fleet of William arrived Vindale Hold it was Athilda and Winfred that would meet with the leadership of the army revealing details of the area.

For a warrior waiting years for something to happen, he didn't seem to care much that the army he was waiting to arrive got destroyed.
Saiden Scarlet

The night was spent with Athilda meeting with William, and members of the Shadow Council and it was during this meeting that Edward Cullen discovered her Magi abilities and confronted her on why she did not reveal this before meeting with the prince. Telling them her fear of reprisals she was forgiven by the group and continued to tell them about the situation in the Stormlands. Athilda would let the group know that the Guntbolds were willing to assist William despite what was a top-down command from King James Lovie II. to not assist his army in the movement against Tree Hill, but she wanted assurances that the Guntbolds would not be punished following the campaign. Needing more forces, and not wanting resistance from human forces as they moved against Tree Hill it was William that made the decision to agree to this arrangement. With this agreement in place, it was Winfred Guntbold II. that would travel back to Guntbold Hold with the Guntbold ship to tell the Guntbold leadership about the agreement. Athilda would remain behind in part as a hostage of sorts but her good impression on the Shadow Council had led to her joining them as an advisor of sorts.

Leven Martell10

Leven Martell arrived on the field only a day before the battle would happen with a large force of House Martell and her father's writing of support.

The closer we got to night the more I came to understand that the world would be much different after I liberated Tree Hill. Without a single doubt in my mind I now understood that my father had done this. My father was responsible for all of the wrongs in Lucerne, and once this happened there would be no more quests to keep me from the simple fact that he had to die. My father had to die for what had happened here.
William Lovie III.

Waiting for the night to come William would be able to watch for the first and last time the Orcs setting off their massive drums and horns in order to force the defenders to be unable to sleep during the night and thus exhausted during the day. Hearing this many among the attacking army grew even more angry at the fact that the defenders had been forced to endure this for all this time without anyone helping them. William would spend the night with Leven, Jasper, Emmett, and Edward as the Shadow Council as they were not openly to each other calling themselves spent a few last hours with each other before they all knew everything was going to change. Finding themselves greeted throughout the night by every lord who not wanted to speak to William they couldn't help but see how different things had become for the naive group. During one of these meetings he would talk with Charles Swan who by this point he was beginning to view as a father of sorts, and discussing with him his relationship with Isabella he would bring up the idea of a betrothal. Charles was happy about this and agreed on the spot, and following this agreement it was Charles and William that would meet together with many of the remaining nobles and this betrothal was brought up during many of these meetings thus spreading word of its agreement. The Orcs by this point had no contact with their scouts, and yet they still remained completely unaware. Morrigan would at this point make her final step towards sealing the fate of Jurden Hardaxe when she would convince Jurden to host a large party for his Orcs which made them all drunk and even less prepared.

The Massacre
William Lovie111
I hope they felt in their final moments all the pain of those who they had so cowardly killed years before, and tormented for years since. I hope they face an eternity of pain an anguish for what they have done.
Charlie Swan

As the night neared the Orcs would begin their party and the loud noise would alert the alliance that this was underway, and also awake most of the defenders of Tree Hill of whom were prepared for what many believed was the final attack. The party continued, and the alliance moved itself completely into position against the now scout less Orcish force, and pushed in many places all the way against the wall with the entire Orcish force within the city itself or dead outside. The night came and the army would move on their predetermined signal of which moved everything forward. The infiltration of House Scarlet into the under tunnels of the city begin as Saiden Scarlet led a large force of hundreds into the tunnels in the goal of reaching the estate of House James and once the attack was underway they would spring upon the already ambushed Orcs. From the west the forces of House Greymane, and House Ordos would move themselves through the broken shattered western gate and encountered hundreds of Orcs in differing stages of drunkenness and the fighting wouldn't spark any concerns from the Orcs as it was all believed still to be a part of the party. Seeing the ambush was underway it was at this moment that Morrigan finally ended the charade and came upon Jurden while he was standing in his residence.

Sometimes Brooke you play the long game. You see if you lie to someone for so long he eventually believes that it is truth. For how could anyone keep up a lie for as long as you do. Once they no longer believe you lie, they believe everything that you say. You can whisper the most dangerous of things to them, and they will drink everything you give. Then finally when the moment is complete you may spring. Spring the final trap on the fool who allowed himself to die.

Its one thing Leven to win this battle. Once we win this battle, because I believe we will. Once that happens the time to return home is upon us. You know what we will find in Lucerne. You know what victory here means. It means the death of my father.

The battle would end with the complete destruction of the Orc army and the liberation of Tree Hill. When the armies of Lucerne and Gondor entered the remains of Tree Hill, they found the sad remnants of a once truly mighty city. Food, aid and supplies were rushed to the city, but before the true rebuild could begin Andrew Lovie would take the reigns of the King of Lucerne following a duel with his father.

Leana Darkmore

It would be Ephraim Black working under the commands of the Order of the Three Sins who would use the Battle of Castle Stragnarax to fufill the orders of his leader in the Lord of Gluttony. Using the battle he would be now able to move forward with their plot to take control of Darkhaven following his successful killing of Harbard Darkmore during the Battle of Castle Stragnarax, of whom he killed by stabbing him in the shoulder and then holding him down for nearly an hour while the Lord of House Darkmore bled out, and then during the night he would drag him to the walls which made it appear he had died to the Orcs. House Darkmore following the death of Harbert Darkmore would have a succession crisis due to the fact that Harbert had died without any male heirs and his sister had only one daughter in Abigail Darkmore who had already been married to Robin Highport leaving her as not a real option. Realizing this the lords of Darkmore were preparing to make Amantha Darkmore the lady of House Darkmore when Ephraim Black arrived at Darkmore with the idea of a better male candidate in the form of Colin Black of whom was the son of Melina Darkmore and thus a cousin to the lord of House Darkmore. Shocked about the turn of events Leana petitioned against the change as Amantha was the closest blood relative, and Colin Black had never visited, or knew anything of the land he would inherit. Ephraim arrived in Duskenvale with Cellia Black and begin making plans with the nobles there, and found many willing to listen to him as there were many who didn't want to be ruled by a young girl, and during this time Cellia Black used her considerable beauty to convinse several of the nobles of Duskhaven. Colin Black who was at this point still in Forks would be met by his cousin Rebecca Black of whom told him about the reality of his father's plan and that his father planned to remove the Darkmore girls as they were nothing but a threat to Colin and needed to be removed if Ephraim was to rule through Colin. Colin didn't want to believe what Rebecca said, but would agree to travel to Duskenvale with Rebecca Black of whom together with Colin's friend Eric Weinbrum, and his wife Vanessa Black the group would meet Lyle Crakehall and a small troop of House Crakehall on the road and then made there way to Duskenvale. Thus arriving at Duskenvale with his friend, wife, Lyle Crakehall, and Rebecca Black he would be met by his father of whom was furious that he had come to Duskenvale and was going to command his son to return to Forks when he would be interupted by Rebecca Black and Lyle Crakehall of whom took Colin Black and left him with his cousin Amantha. During this time spent time with his cousin Amantha Darkmore of whom he liked very much he came to learn about the reality of what his father was doing and how much it would ruin Amantha, and hearing this he would leave her to find her father of whom he was able to find through the assistence of Rebecca Black. Finding his father in the tower of Darkmore his plan to talk to his father would change dramatically when he overheard his father discussing how he was going to murder the Darkmore girls once he had control so that they wouldn't trouble him anymore, and how after he married Colin off to some girl he would then murder Colin and finally finish what he truly wanted for someone he called the Lord of Gluttony. Overhearing this Colin knew that Rebecca wasn't lying at all and went to his cousin of whom he found kissing Lyle Crakehall and telling her what he had heard the group would go to Amantha and leaving Eric Weinbrum behind with her to protect her with a few Crakehall men the group would leave for Hillsbrad to meet with the Arch Duke of the region in the form of House Greymane.

Rebecca Black, Lyle Crakehall, Vanessa Black, and Colin Black would arrive in Hillsbrad and were given an audience with the new Lord of House Greymane in the form of Liam Greymane. Laying out the situation with Liam they were very open about what was going on, and while Liam was reluctant to believe the true extent of how nefarious Ephraim was being in Duskhaven he would agree to travel to Duskhaven in several weeks and he would decide the lordship of Duskhaven himself. Rebecca and the group returned to Duskhaven to find that several of the prominent lords of the province had arrived in Duskhaven including Jon Lowport of whom brought with him his wife, son, and daughter, while Edric Fordale arrived as the new lord of House Fordale accompanied by his sister, and wife, and finally Robin Highport arrived with his wife and sister, but Rebecca would quickly find that each of these lords had their own agendas. The arrival of House Darkwood would incense tensions as Kieth Darkwood, and his brother Derek Darkwood would bring significant forces in order to protect their niece Leana Darkmore, and upon their arrival blood was nearly spilled between Derek Darkwood, and Ephraim upon learning his plotting.

Meeting a Daughter

Roslin Stor II
Roslin do you think my mother is sorry. Do you think when she looks back at what happens here she will look back at it with sorrow. I wonder Roslin if she will look upon any of this as anything other then an annoying setback.
Lucie Lovie

Following the attempted Coup in Stor Roslin Stor XII. would return to the capital with Lucie Lovie of whom told her everything she could about her life, and everyone was called to a council where they were told that they had the oldest child of the King of Lucerne in their hands. Following this discovery there were many in the council who begin saying they should barter her to the Lucernians, and this charge would be led heavily by Terad Ereham who had been implicated in the Coup attempt but had returned to the fold after its defeat. Roslin argued that if they did that William had shown he would never forgive the slight, and the weak willed Terad wilted under the pressure of Roslin's words and agreed with her idea of simply giving Lucie to the Lucernians asking nothing in return. The failure here of Terad to gain anything would further poison the mind of his son Tristifer Ereham III. to his father and would be the final straw which led to Tristifer turning completely on his father and taking control of House Ereham.

Arrival in Westbridge
I looked out over the side of the boat to the docks and saw a crowd larger then anything I had seen in a long while. Nobles, and their men all crowded around, and my first thought was what they were doing. My first thought was never that they were there waiting for me. It just didn't make sence.

Running From a Monster
You have to die.
Viggo Vortisson
Arrival in Fairmarket
When we return Lucie I want you to understand one thing above everything else. Our distance. The time we spent apart. I wish that I could take it all back and you could be right by my side. The people you meet in Lucerne, they are by and large good people, but they all have their own wishes and desires. Some will see you as a marriage target. Some will see you as a threat. Whatever happens, and whatever is said I want you to know one thing. You are my daughter. You are my daughter and I love you.
