Oberyn Martell II. is the son of Quentin and Jane Martell making him a member of House Martell. Oberyn has two siblings in the form of Doran, and Krella Martell of which Doran is the logitimat patriarch of House Martell but due to a bad case of gout he is barely seen outside of the House Martell estates and has thus allowed Oberyn to be the face of House Martell, his sister Krella is a kind and gentle noblewomen that has raised many of the children of House Martell. Oberyn Martell II. would be married to Ingrid Yronwood as a means of ending the brewing conflict between the houses and this marriage was a very unhappy one as Oberyn refused to settle down but ended with devastation as she passed away during childbirth.

Oberyn Martell II. was born in Lucerne Hold, and being a member of House Martell meant that he wouldn't want for anything but he chose a different path. In his youth, Oberyn was fostered at Sandstone, where he trained alongside the members of the powerful House Yronwoods. At sixteen, Oberyn was found in bed with the paramour of Lord Ormond Yronwood, so the lord challenged him to a duel. The duel was to first blood, given the youth and high birth of the two fighting, and both took cuts. Lord Ormond's wounds festered and killed him. Following this event a conflict brewed between House Yronwood and House Martell which was mediated by the capital through the marriage of Oberyn and Ingrid Yronwood in a marriage that both Ingrid and Oberyn were very unhappy with. In his anger of being tied down in marriage it was Oberyn that would lead a force of knights into the First Old Maccube Rebellion leaving behind a pregnant Ingrid. Oberyn would be at Skane when King James Lovie II. gave the command to end the rebellion through the use of the Maccube Declaration which gave widespread immunity to crimes, and violence done while in the service of ending the rebellion. Oberyn Martell would lead a force of House Martell into the Second Crisis of Turnendorf as he wished to get a sense of prince William Lovie III. and over the course of the journey to Turnendorf it was Oberyn that became a trusted confidant of William and a primary planner of the coming campaign. Shortly after the Invasion of Westbridge Oberyn Martell would become the Lord of House Martell following the death of his brother finally from the gout that had afflicted him for much of his adult life, and in this position he appeared a recluse to outsiders but in fact he was gaining influence with his vassals and working on increasing the weaker position of his family. When Westros was going up in flames it was Oberyn Martell that volunteered the forces of House Martell to engage the enemy in return for the spoils they recieved and a port along the Bolten side of the Rhine River. Agreeing with the requests from Oberyn Martell II. the forces of House Martell would land near Grandlen and move east towards the siege of Karhold. Finding the forces of House Starke embroiled in a tough siege they would provide much needed reinforcements to the eastern part of the siege and broke past the first tier of walls and took control of the wealthy district of the town capturing much of the remaining House Karstark allied nobles. Oberyn would be devestated during the fighting by the death of his sister Krenna Martell of whom fell fighting in a duel against a Karstark man.

History[]

Early History[]

"I’ll tell you a secret, something they don’t teach you in your temple. The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now, and we will never be here again."
-Oberyn Martell II.

Oberyn Martell II. was born in Lucerne Hold, and being a member of House Martell meant that he wouldn't want for anything but he chose a different path. In his youth, Oberyn was fostered at Sandstone, where he trained alongside the members of the powerful House Yronwoods.

At sixteen, Oberyn was found in bed with the paramour of Lord Ormond Yronwood, so the lord challenged him to a duel.

Oberyn has been known as the "Red Viper" ever since by friends and foes alike since, due to rumors that he fought the duel with a poisoned blade.

Travelling[]

Following this despite the calls from his parents to return to Lucerne Oberyn traveled extensively in Westros, where he learned much about poisons and perhaps even darker arts. He had studied at the Citadel, going so far as to forge six links of a maester's chain before he grew bored. He had soldiered in the Disputed Lands across the Narrow Sea, riding with the Second Sons for a time before forming his own company. It is said that he beds both men and women, and has begotten bastard girls all over Dorne. The Sand Snakes, men call them. During his travels as the members of the "Sand Snakes" grew he constantly sought them out, and each one was sent back to Lucerne where they live under the last name of Sand in the small vassal House Sand but all known them to be a member of House Martell.

Betrothal Problems of Ellaria Sand and Quentin Martell III.[]

Ellaria would travel to Sunspear with her father on her fifteenth birthday on a mission to have her betrothed to Quentin Martell III. but instead during the dinner to celebrate this upcoming betrothal it was Oberyn that seduced Ellaria and the discovery of this affair ended the betrothal and shattered relations between the two houses.

Return[]

When his older brother became to be reduced more and more by the gout Oberyn returned to Lucerne where he decided to lead the house publically since his brother no longer could. In control of House Martell he became somewhat a recluse, but he was silently gaining the influence of the House Martell vassals, and was expanding their personal forces for what he knew would be an eventual deployment by William.

Second Crisis of Turnendorf[]

Main Article : Second Crisis of Turnendorf

The Second Crisis of Turnendorf
Do not forget that you are a good person prince. You will need memories of that in the coming days. Monsters are coming, and I fear you are the only one who can stop them.

Ezio's Work in Turnendorf[]

The situation on the mainland is spiriling quickly out of control. Baron Turnidlon is still hiding out in his keep while the entire province falls to the cult. The coward I heard even imprisoned his own son when the boy tried to step in. At this point its just the Rosler's holding out. If I were you I'd make sure they don't turn.
Marwin Nordidlon

Ezio that is meeting with Deacon Marwin Nordidlon, and his first enchanter Ursella Klorindorf. The three are discussing how the situation has deteriorated quite rapidly on the mainland due to the work of the cult that has done on the population. Marwin is unwilling to send his people to join while only House Rosler remains loyal to the crown, and his main concern is that House Rosler’s leadership may break. Marwin tells Ezio that an upcoming meeting at Rosler Castle is of the most immediate concern in this regard as two prominent members of the Voiceless Angels are traveling to the castle to attempt to bring the Roslers finally to their side. Ezio is also told that a major concern is the imprisonment of the leadership of House Burnendorf, and House Telstendil both of which are keeping those houses under the control of the Voiceless. Ezio leaves the Tower of Tuhrendlor alone, but as he gets on the boat its Ursella that joins him alongside her sister the Second Enchanter Ophellia Klorindorf. Travelling to Rosler Castle its Ursella that tells Ezio the story of how she became a Magi revealing that the Voiceless Angel have a device that allows them to create Magi users out of regular people without abilities. Arriving at Rosler Castle they see a boat flying the flag of the Voiceless and know they are arriving late. Entering the castle, they are let in out of respect for the Circle of Magi and are taken to the dining hall where a feast is being held. Entering the feast, they sit down together causing quite a stir as everyone there knows that they are there to clearly resist whatever the Voicless are going to push for. The Voiceless group is sitting nearbye and one of their members who Ursella names as Astrid Flortindorf II. - of whom she knows to believe a fanatic for the Voiceless – comes over and sits with them. Ezio and Astrid talk for a time with Astrid at first attempting to get the group to support the Voceless and arguing for their moral path, but Ezio views them as rebels who cannot be bargained with and so rejects this offer. Landsgrave Thomas Rosler III. makes a speech where he points out his desire to remain loyal to the crown, but also details that he will hear out the Voiceless before making his decision. Astrid speaks in front of the room describing the situation in Turnendorf as already being over, and that she and her order are not traitors to the crown, but instead are attempting to make the lives of the people better while also wanting to reconcile with the crown. As Thomas is about to speak its Ezio that interrupts and reveals that prince William is on his way to Turnendorf and that when he arrives, he will be destroying the Voiceless and to join them would be to doom everyone. With the revelation that the prince is coming its Thomas that refuses to support the Voiceless and requests they leave the castle which they begin to do but as they do an angered Astrid taunts Thomas about his daughter Taylor having joined them. This taunting leads to a fight breaking out but as Astrid uses her Magi its Ursella that resists her leading to a duel between the two. The duel goes for a few minutes before an apparition appears in the room. The apparition shows itself as Sogronul the leader of the Vicoeless one and demands that Astrid stand down which she does. The Voiceless leave the castle after this without resistance and the apparition of Sogronul speaks to Ursella forgiving her for leaving and threatening everyone in the room with death if they do not surrender. Ezio stands up to this voice using a Magi device he carries with him to block her Magi and cause the apparition to disappear.

Valley of Lucerne
I have spent my entire life trying to do what was right. I have fought for a king I loved. I have fought for a friend I trusted. I have watched my family grow around me...I have watched all this and in my heart I knew everything would be okay. I knew this because I believed in you. You were the foundation of my faith. The boy I knew would have never done the things you have done. You have allowed this...this...thing to take over everything you are. Everything that happens now is up to you. You choose what path you go. I have nothing to say in my Kill me now for seeing you. Seeing what you have become makes me realized I have nothing left to believe in. Take me from this world, and free of me knowing what you have become.

What have you heard about the situation on the mainland?” The Deacon Marwin sat back in his chair sipping on wine as I sat down in the chair offered to me. He appeared withdrawn. He appeared bored by my arrival.

I was told to come here and prepare the land as much as possible for the arrival of the prince. I would say basically nothing.” It was the truth. I knew that a cult had taken root again in the land, but as the actual on the ground situation I knew nothing.

Its not good Lord Ederiz. The entire mainland outside of the capital has basically fallen to the cult. The cult took control of the town of Klorindorf much to the shame of my young second here.” He nodded with disappointment at Ursella who scowled at him in response. “To this fall the baron did nothing.

Has he acted since?

He remains locked up in his keep. His yes men are now in charge of the city.” He laughed as he spoke the words. Leading to Ursella speaking up.

We heard Lord Ederiz that the Baron has imprisoned his sons for attempting to take a more active role in resisting the cult.” Marwin looked away towards the painting on the wall appearing overjoyed that Ursella had taken over speaking to me.

Do you believe that the Baron is in league with the cult?” I spoke now to Ursella who pulled out a large scroll and laid it across the table.

He’s in league with no one but his own cowardice Lord Ederiz.” She showed me each settlement across the province. Each one crossed off indicating their fall to the cult.

It sounds as if I must pay a visit to the Baron then.”

I would argue against this being your first move.” Marwin got up from his chair as she spoke, and he moved closer to the painting he was so enamored by.

Where would you argue I go?” Her hand instantly pointed to the map.

Rosler Castle is the seat of House Rosler, and it remains the only true powerbase outside of the capital outside of the cult’s hands. A meeting is being held there very soon. If things go badly during this meeting the prince may arrive to find his route blocked. The Rosler’s control most of the ships of the province.

So, if they turn the prince will be blocked in his movements.”

Correct. I would say that making sure the Rosler’s don’t join the cult is your main concern.”

I agree with this.” She pulled the scroll together and packed it back into her bag while Marwin continued staring at the painting.” I will leave immediately.”

We wish you luck on your trip.” He didn’t even turn towards me as he spoke the words.

What assistance may you provide my party with Deacon?”

I will supply you with a boat. More then this I cannot offer.”

I have the seal of the king Deacon. Surely you will provide me with more than this token offering.”

I will not. I am tasked with the protection of this tower. This tower is vital to the defense of this area. Only a directive from the king himself would make me intervene in the province.”

This seal is his directive.”

That seal grants you access. Access is not authority. I entertained your presence here. Consider anything further as a gesture of kindness.” The deacon

Deacon perhaps a compromise could be reached with Lord Ederiz here.” Ursella stepped in as the Deacon begin walking out of the room.

What do you suggest my loyal second?” --- “The cult took her sister when they took control of Klorindorf. She was the wife of Estmar Turnidlon.”

He was imprisoned by the baron?

If the rumors are true. It sounds as if he demanded command of the army to retake control of Klorindorf and get his wife back. His father disagreed.”

Do we know why he has acted this way? It would appear to me to be the acts of a man siding with the cult.”

He lost a lot in the previous cults uprising.”

Your father cannot fix this. He is not the man he was when the Voiceless rose the first time. This is your time.

Glaurung himself said that while life has many meanings to it. One of the main is to find happiness. To find joy. To feel love. How better to feel all those things then to let yourself go.

How do I do that Ar-Brentey?” She smiled at me before sliding herself closer to me. Her hips rested up against me, and her hand moved onto my chest.

Shall I help you?” As her hands ran down my arm and towards my waist, I couldn’t find the words. I just nodded.

At this she holds out a tiny scroll and hands it to Edward telling him to read it and then when he and William agree to the meeting that she will be found at the docks just west of Krebville tonight. She walks away from him leaving him to open the scroll and reading the contents he discovers that this scroll which is known as “The Codex of Sogronul” details a plot by this Sogronul to convert large numbers of women in Turnidlon to Magi and then create an army from them. Following the Shadow Council discussing things its William that sits up from the table and asks Edward’s opinion of what they should do. It becomes clear to Edward in this moment that William is giving him the final decision powers and Edward wanting to help William pushes the idea of meeting with the girl.

She offers to help William in his campaign against the Order of the Voiceless Angel and in return they ask that William requests two things.

Following this its William that meets with Ar-Brentey of whom further pushes William to make the aggressive play in this situation.

Battle of Castle Telstendil[]

Arriving well away from the island of Telstendil the leadership of the fleet meets on the White Dragon of the Valley and they plan out how they will take control of the island. Telstendil is defended by a series of lightly garrisoned watch towers that dot the south of the lsland on the edge of the massive bluffs that are a main feature of the island. If the guards are able to see the fleet before they are able to land troops then the element of surprise is over and the castle will be warned leading to a fleet action having to be taken and many lives lost that William is trying to avoid. In order to do this its Benjamin that details a plan where they will use the night to swim to the edge of the bluff and then use climbing tools to ascend the bluffs reaching the towers where they can easily take out the guards peacefully. William uses his leadership position to delegate command of the fleet to Oberyn Martell while he will join the climbing group led by Benjamin. The leadership group is very against him doing this due to the danger but he overrides them all and forces them to move on to the next steps of the plan. Joining William and Benjamin is Jasper, and Lyanna alongside one of Benjamin’s men named Florian Couvreur, and as the sun begins to disappear in the sky its Benjamin that attempts once more to change William’s mind on coming with him. William succeeds in convincing Benjamin of the wisdom of him coming with him, and they get into the water making the long swim towards the bluff, and during this swim it’s the group that occupies themselves as best they can but even William is fearful in the dark water.

Battle of Turnendorf[]
Edwards Southern March[]

Main Article : Battle of Mortildorf

Battle of Mortildorf
Edward I need you to go south. Take Mortildorf and hold the road until we have taken Roelet. Once we do we will head south to you. I need you to do this for me my friend. There is no one else I would trust with this.
William Lovie III.

Greta Rosler would reach Mortildorf before the Lucernian army arrived there and taking charge of the defense of the town she would send further updates to Songronul as she prepared for the arrival of the Lucernians. Leaving the main army at the head of his force he marches at the front carriage joined in this carriage by Dylan Steinmare, and Lyanna Starke while Trent of Klorindorf rides alongside them. Edward doesn’t talk much with Dylan as they ride south, but he and Lyanna talk as they always do. Lyanna and Edward talk with Trent about where he grew up and he tells them of his childhood near Klorindorf and gives them his own opinion of the Voiceless Angels who he appears very angry at. Lyanna and Edward talk about how Edward misses Tanya and that he wants to talk with his father about a true betrothal to her. As they talk about love its Lyanna that is reluctant to get into it but it seems clear to Edward that she is talking about William when she talks about wanting someone she cannot have. During the march its Oliver Meigstrad II. and his forces that form the secondary leadership of this force as he Reigstrad forces are almost half of the overall force that Edward leads south. Not knowing Oliver well its Edward, Dylan, Oswald, and Lyanna that invite him onto their carriage which he accepts alongside his son Markus Meigstrad, and his top commander Edric JuestredAs the carriages get further down the road the commander of the scouts (find man) tells them that the road and woods are heavily scouted and that he doesn’t see a path to sneaking to the castle. Edward stops the entire force and calls all the unit commanders to the front of the carriage. Meeting together they decide that sneaking is no longer an option and thus they will reach the outskirts of the town fully prepared for battle. Reaching the break in the forest where the scout said the castle would be visible, they are met by the sight of the deployed force of the Voiceless. Several lines of Draknoid soldiers are arrayed in front of the castle and the group questions why they would deploy outside the walls instead of hunkering down for a siege. At the onset of the Battle of Mortildorf it was Trent of Klorindorf and Greta Rosler that got into an argument with Trent taunting Greta over her daughter having turned, and then Greta revealing that House Klorindorf assisted the rise of the Voiceless in exchange for the Voiceless turning many people of Klorindorf to Magi sensitives.

Take me from this world, and free of me knowing what you have become.

Did the honorable Trent tell you about why so many of the Klorindorf’s have Magi?

Why don’t you stop talking and take your wand out. We end all this right here.

Making deals with Klorindorf’s men has always been helpful for the Voiceless. Tell them how your lord sold us information and ignorance in exchange for our help.”

Enraged by the taunting of Trent it was Greta that left the battle line and engaged in a duel with Trent and defeated him before using a death Magi blow on him which led to Edward removing his ring and engaging her and despite his lack of experience his raw power overwhelmed Greta leaving her a smoking ruin. The death of Greta would cause panic in the lines of the Voiceless as she was the most senior commander there with the only other commander being the thirteen-year-old Kendra Numeterix of Morrot who briefly attempted to lead the other girls but as this panic was seen from the Lucernian lines it was Edward that ordered a charge of his forces at them. As the uncontrolled Dragonkin lashed against the control of the Voiceless it was the attacking Lucernians that cut them down leading to the Voiceless members surrendering or being hacked down by the enraged Dragonkin.

Occupation of Mortildorf[]

Following the battle it was Edward that made quick work of establishing control of the castle and the area around it, but his main focus became the fortifying of the castle which was rundown after its occupation by the Voiceless. Edward would send scouts south of the castle towards the nearby siege of Turnendorf but they didn't reach the castle as by this point the Voiceless army was already on the march northwards.

First Battle of Thaig Roelet[]

Main Article : First Battle of Thaig Roelet

Thaig Roelet - New
This fort stands as their capital. We take it and they will be forced to come back here and retake it. This is how we force them to fight us on our terms.
William Lovie III.

William watches as Edward’s convoy moves southward and as he thinks on whether it was a mistake to send Edward south its Byron that comes to him and supports William on his decision. During this conversation Byron reveals that it was him that first put the idea into William’s head and thus even if it was wrong Byron makes William understand that the guilt would be spread out and not just on him. William leads the army towards Thaig Roelet, which they are approaching during the night so that they will be able to surround and prepare without the defenders becoming aware of them. Reaching a half an hour away the army sets up camp in the forest and prepares for the night where they will attack. During the day its William that meets with many people in the army buts its Leven that he really wants to speak with about her opinion on the arrangement being discussed between the four. As the camp is secured and they have time before the final meetings its William that walks with Leven into the forest and the two find a quiet spot to talk.

The Night Attack[]

The army executes the plan and moves slowly towards the camp with the front groups reaching the wall without issue, and seeing the success of the anti-warding its William that makes the signal to climb the walls and enter the camp. As one of the front line its William that moves quietly through the camp attempting to make it as far as he can in, and this move is stopped by a young girl coming out of one of the tents. As she does its Byron that lunges at the girl covering her mouth with a rag to keep her quiet.

Aftermath[]

Jocelyn Nordidlon would be captured during the First Battle of Thaig Roelet and placed inside the dungeon following this battle she would very hateful towards the Order seeing it as too weak to even protect them in their own capital, and this hate would allow her to ignore the attempts by the other imprisoned leaders to keep them from assisting the Lucernians.

Locking the Vault[]
Astrid Flortindorf II
It will take you months to enter this Vault Lord Toyne. My Lady has been warned of what has happened her and it will not be long before she comes for you.
Astrid Flortindorf II.

Alice Telstendil would be at Thaig Roelet when William Lovie arrived at the fortress and inside the actual Thaig she was forced by Astrid Flortindorf II. inside the vault to keep the staff safe despite Alice having by this point lost faith and wanting to surrender. Alice would be targeted by Wuldrik Toyne following the occupation of Thaig Roelet by William Lovie III. as she had secretly taken off her ring of protection allowing Wuldrik to recruit her to his side of attempting to break into the Vault of Thaig Roelet. As Wuldrik worked with Aelfwynn and the other Magi sensitives in Williams force to enter the Fade it was Olivia that was exposed to this by Alice Telstendil who damaged the ring of protection that Olivia Restildon had and this allowed her to be targeted in her dreams by Wuldrik who worked to turn Olivia to his side.

You two ruined everything. All you had to do was stay loyal.
Astrid Flortindorf II.

Olivia would go against the plan and attempted to open the vault but was stopped by Astrid who tortured Olivia and during this torture Olivia revealed that Alice Telstendil had been turned leading to a duel between the two which ended with Alice fleeing into the deeper part of the Vault. Ursella would at the urging of Angela take Leven hostage in a move that allowed several of the loyalist girls out of their cells where they were eventually cornered but not before they gained control of a Shiftstone. Confronted during this escape it was Ursella that finally gave into her doubt and turned against the Voiceless Angels releasing Leven instead of killing her but in response she would be fatally wounded by Angela.

Put down the dagger Angela.” The girl didn’t look scared. She looked resolute.

You all put yours down and then I’ll know your serious about me not dying here.” She pointed at us with the dagger and the movement grazed across Leven’s face eliciting a painful response.

Everyone just calm down. Put down your weapons.” As I lowered my staff, I took a silent movement of my leg preparing to lunge towards them.

For Lady Songronul” Angela pushed Leven to the ground in between us. In the instant it happened I lunged towards Leven to get her into my arms and shield her from anything that might happen. As I pulled Leven away, I watched as Angela stabbed poor Ursella just below the neck.

Stop her!” I heard someone yell out but as I gently let Leven down and move towards Angela, she grabbed the blue stone and with a quick smile she disappeared into nothing.

“She has entered the Fade.”

“We must follow her.”

“Were divived right now. Most of our number are working on the spell. We split ourselves further we will never complete it.”

“If we defeat them in the fade we won’t have to.”

We can’t…”I stopped suddenly as I watched Leven step to the table. The entire world seemed to slow as I realized what she was doing. “Leven do not do that.”

She’s right though. This is the fastest way.” With a small smile she grabbed the blue orb off the table and disappeared into nothing.

Do not follow me. Put the orbs into a safe and then help with the ritual.”

Wuldrik I can help you.”

You have your direction.” I turned away and grabbed the blue orb. As I touched the smooth surface, I don’t know what I expected to happen. But as soon as my fingers made contact, I felt a jolt of pain and pleasure, as if my very soul was being torn apart and stitched back together. I screamed, but no one could hear me. As the world around me shook and changed I closed my eyes. As I opened them, I felt a hand on my shoulder and smiled at the sight of Leven. Looking around I knew immediately the change.

Fight for the Vault[]

As the Vault of Thaig Roelet was about to the infiltrated by Wuldrik Toyne and his forces it was Astrid that attempted to stop him by removing her protective ring and engaging Wuldrik in the Fade where she was horribly over matched and despite Wuldrik attempting to take her alive she would force him to kill her.

The Western March[]

Main Article : Second Battle of Mortildorfhet

Following the capture of Thaig Roelet it was Laisa Klorinsson II. that would lead a force westward alongside Jack Shephard towards Mortildorfhet where they knew a large number of rebel forces were being held captive by a mercenary group, and arriving at Mortildorfhet they found the guards were outnumbered immensely by the prisoners. Ella Mortikore would be still bedridden when a splinter force sent by William Lovie III. arrived at Mortildorfhet and her forces would be surrounded leading to her ordering a general surrender to the Lucernians leading to her and her forces being brought to Thaig Roelet alongside the released rebels.

Ar-Brentey's Move[]
Ar-Brentey Hemsworth Cover Amazing - Midgard20
So many people have so many different goals here. The truth is Aria, that only the plans and goals of you and I matter here. All these others. They don't matter to us.
Ar-Brentey Hemsworth

As the main army moved away from Trestilghar it was Ar-Brentey and almost all of the noble girls that had accompanied the army that remained behind and for Brentey this was an isolation that she knew at this time she could not accept. Ar-Brentey free of the leadership of William would begin making adjustments to her position in the idea that for her the only people she was truly loyal to were William, Aria, and perhaps Leven. With this in mind the first move she made was to send away several of the remaining noble girls in the party to the island of Mestilghot for the on the surface purpose of more protection. Of these girls being sent away was Alysane Mountain who seeing what was happening would decide to make a move against Ar-Brentey when she approached Dallia and told her about the offer that had been made to her about the group marriage by Ar-Brentey. Dallia would not believe Alysane at first and not wanting to believe that Ar-Brentey was conspiring in such a way she pushed forward the timeline of the girls being moved to Mestilghot and brought Ar-Brentey closer when she gave her authority over the execution of this move. One of the girls that was being sent to Mestilghot was Seri-Relisia Terrick and not wanting to be away from William she would make her move to protect herself. Relisia and Alysane had become close during the journey and thus Relisia was told by Aylsane that she was going to tell Dalia leading to Relisia following her and witnessing the covnersation between Aylsane and Dallia. Having heard the truth of the conversation she would the use this information to go to Ar-Brentey and reveal that Dallia had been told of her plans with the group marriage. In order to show herself as not a threat she would tell Ar-Brenrey that she was in love with Dylan Steinmare, and had no interest in William as anything other then a friend. Ar-Brentey would make the mistake of believing that Dallia had believed the lie and was going to send her away as well and in this belief she would get the assistence of Relisia in getting aboard Dallia's boat.

He couldn't continue helping, not with the voices in his head. They whispered to him, taunting him, tempting him, trying to make him do terrible things.

"Kill them, Edward. Kill them all. They don't deserve to live. You are the chosen one, the master of death. You have the power to end their miserable lives. Do it, Edward. Do it now."

Edward shook his head and gripped the railing. But it was no use. The voices were inside his mind, not outside. He couldn't escape them. He couldn't silence them. He could only endure them.

He was trapped, in his own body, in his own mind, in his own hell. And then as he opened his eyes, he found himself alone in a giant meadow. He was alone. I turned around. “Lyanna!” I looked around. There was no one. Then I turned around again and saw her. The same purple robes. The same calm look in her eyes.

You should be proud that someone as untrained as yourself was able to survive this long.

Where have you taken me?

You are in my home. This is the place I was born.”

Release me.”

I wish that I could. Despite your lack of control, you have immense power. If only you could control yourself, you could have changed all this.”

What are you doing?”

While you are in here with me, I am killing everyone in the castle.”

Let me out!”

Does it make you angry to know that your friends will soon be dead?”

LET ME OUT!” I felt the anger flow from my body and as I blinked the meadow in front of me begin shifting back to the castle. As the world around me shifted I closed my eyes and begin screaming out of pain. After what felt like several minutes the pain dissipated and I could hear screaming all around me and pang of an explosion. I opened my eyes as I felt a drop of blood splatter on my face. I looked up, and saw a soldier fall from the tower. I wiped the blood away as I looked on still overcome with rage.

It can’t be my sister that ends it now can it.”

Your sister died for a greater cause then you could possibly imagine.

My sister died for nothing.”

“How can you say that? Everything we planned. Did you forget everything I taught you?”

Its just your vanity. There is no grand plan. There is nothing but you tricking little girls into following you to their death.”

I’m sorry you have lost faith. I see from your necklace you have taken on your master’s tokens.” She looked at the necklace with pure distain. I knew she had hated the Dragonoph religion before I had left, but the hatred in her eyes told me that distain had escalated.

I have found faith.” I clutched my necklace.

You know that its still not too late to come back to me little one.

She’s not your slave anymore.”

“Is she your slave now prince?” Sogronul looked towards him and seeing the look on her eyes I felt jealousy run through my body.

Raise your staff.” I felt my wand raise to point in her direction. I could hear muffled talking from around me, but everything had gone black. The world faded away as I watched her pull the staff in front of her.

So, it ends.”

The Journey[]

Main Article : The Journey

The Early Arrival
You just sent me away Will. You sent me away on what I thought was a real reason, but from where I stand it looks like it was worth nothing. You could have sent any of them, but instead you sent me. I did what you asked me and in return I lost everything I had ever dreamed of. I must now stand here and watch the future I dreamed lived out with that Italian. I lost everything while I was away. For nothing. For absolutely nothing. What makes it worse is you still can't see.

Going to Stormwind[]

Leven Martell Red
I trusted William with my life, and it was the only reason that I would have ever travelled so far from anything I knew. His belief in me pushed me forward, and drove me to be better then I could ever have been without him.
Leven Martell

Leven alongside her sisters, Lyanna Starke and Ellia Snow would join with a group of twelve Martell men at arms of whom was sent to join them on their trip to Stormwind, as well as a group of four men at arms for House Fraizen who were led by Taelan Fraizen to also accompany them to Stormwind. The group would arrive at the tiny port of Castle Dalmatia and stayed the night there meeting briefly with Landsgrave Modius Dalmatia of whom Leven did not reveal anything she thought to be important but gave enough when she revealed that she had been sent by William. Modius was a devout loyalist to James having been at the Battle of Lyons and this loyalty led to him sending his brother Decius Dalmatia to Lucerne to find out what was happening. Leven and her party left the next morning accompanied this time by Appius Dalmatia the heir of House Dalmatia who Modius had given orders to watch everything Leven did and then come back. Arriving at the port of Littleheim south of Stormwind they would not reveal their purpose and made no attempt to meet with local leadership and instead made their way directly to the city of Stormwind. As they made their way northward it was Lyanna Starke that would be saddened by how little assistence she was able to provide for their journey as she barely remembered her former home. Reaching the outskirts of the city there arrival was expected by House Starke who met Leven Martell and her group with Robb Starke of whom would be sent as the envoy for the house since Brandon, and Eddard Starke had traveled to the south in order to meet the Lannisters and try and get them to join with William Lovie III. and thus assist the young prince. Robb immediately became the source of much interest for Leven`s sister Obella of whom would watch him very closely and he would do the same as he alongside his father`s vassals led them throughout Stormwind. Getting Leven a room in the Starke estate in Stormwind she and her sisters would get a good sleep in before their busy day the next day. Leven and her sisters would wake the next day and meet with Robb Starke again of whom told them that Eddard had promised the entire support of House Starke to the efforts of William Lovie. Robb Starke would take her throughout the city of Stormwind where Robb and her sister Obella Martell grew closer and closer before eventually Leven suggested that Robb show Obella privately the second tier of the city while she and her sister Dorea Martell were escorted by Robb's sister Sansa Starke of whom showed herself to be a beautiful and charismatic young lady just younger then Leven, but the same age as Dorea.

Carlisle had told me to expect stiff resistence to the idea of going behind the kings back. He hadn`t told me they hated the king without pause.
Leven Martell
On the second day of their stay in Stormwind it would be Eddard and Brandon Starke that arrived back in Stormwind accompanied by a large force of House Starke. Following introducing himself it would be Eddard Starke that would meet with Leven alone, as she would make it clear in letters from William that she was a completely trusted member of his forces.
Leven Martell Stormwind
Eddard thus spoke openly to her in a way that they were unable to do in letters, and really let her know about the things that James Lovie had done and the level of hatred the people had for him. Revealing to her first as well that he believed he had failed in his goal of gaining the support of the Lannisters he was dismayed that it seemed to him that the Lannisters would support the regime, but Leven was thankful for him having even attempted that knowing from her lessons how much division there was between the Lannisters and Starke's. At nearly this same time Decius Dalmatia would arrive in Lucerne where he would attempt to seek an audiance with James Lovie II. in order to let him know what was happening in the area. James was at this point battling for control with Vhloraz and thus was hidden away in the Cloud Tower by Khadgar, and Kieth and thus was not present at the Keep. Tristan Lovie would be told of the arrival of Decius by Tavin Slynt and learning of this he would meet with Decius and learn the location of Leven Martell and from the location of where she was going Tristan guessed that she would soon learn the extent of the rebellious elements of Lucerne. Taking the opportunity it would be Tristan that fabricated a letter from his father and gave this letter to Decius with the letter detailing his command to kidnap Leven Martell and bring her to Lucerne as a hostage.
End of Darkness
Look at the world father. You were born into this land. You grew up here. These people swore their lives to you. How could you have done all of this? Look at everything you have done. You destroyed a city. Killed hundreds of good men out of fear. Is this how you want to be remembered father. Is this the world you want to leave behind? I know you were a good person once. Don't end it all here. Don't do this. For me father. For everything I supposedly mean to you. Don't do this.


"I wish nothing but the best for your friend, and the prince of the land in Lord William but his father isn't capable of leading anymore."

"So what are you suggesting?"

"I am suggesting Milady that prince William when he done in Forks should come to Stormwind and we shall do everything we can as a people to remove his father and place him on the throne." Picturing William on the throne was something I had done more times then I would ever admit to throughout my life, but hearing it out of the mouth of one of the most powerful men in Lucerne was something that I scarsley believed I had just heard.

"You understand I've know the King for my entire life."

"I know you have seen him your entire life, but my lady what do you truly know of this man." I thought about it and I had eaten dinner down the table from him hundreds of times, and what little had spoken while kind to me had always been for the ears of William. It was no secret that he wasn't a great man, but to suggest he was a tyrant as Eddard had wasn't something I understood.

"I'm not his blood, and he places the ideals of his family...prince William above all things." The honorable Eddard Starke could barely control himself at my near mistaken use of family over William. Sadly noone even his most direhard supporter would call Bill a family man. He was devoted to Will, but to his family...I dont think so.

"I'm sorry milady but when you are forced to exclude the entirety of his family outside of the prince he is not a family oriented man. I know the king well from when we were children, and the man I knew I can say is gone. He used to dote on his sister Catherine you know." He looked at me clearly wanting that to sink in. I had heard him yelling at Willliam's aunt but I had never seen any sort of time between them that would have indicated anything more then hate." For years she was everything to Bill. Then he met Lisa Tyrell and everything in his life just got even brighter."

"He loved her back then?" The fact that it was shocking that Bill loved his wife was something that struck me as odd. I had never thought of it before today, and that as well struck me as strange. 

"He loved Lisa Tyrell like there was not another soul in the world. I was there at that tournament when he made her the Queen of Love and Beauty and I watched the two fall in love as they stared at eachother. It was pure love. But milady...lady Martell when he returned from Lyons he was changed."

"Changed how?" I knew the Battle of Lyons well. Thousands upon thousands of Lucernians had gone to war, and but a slimmer had returned. The destruction of the human alliance at the battle was legendary, but I had never heard William's father mention it once, so hearing Eddard say it was a defining moment in his life was shocking to me. 

"Things no longer made him laugh. Everything was dark and twisted through his eyes. He pushed aside everything that had mattered to him including Lady Tyrell." He looked out the window as if remembering some distant event that pained him.

"Are you alright Lord Starke?"

"I'm fine milady just coming to terms with the fact that my old friend is gone was a painful thing to do, and its no easier now."

"You mean you came to this conclusion long ago?"

"Yes back during the days leading up to the Plague he was lost in madness and shouting during a meeting of the Lords and I realized it."

"The Plague my Lord?" As he went to speak a knock on the door brought our attention there and left the question hanging. 

"You may enter." The door opened immediately after and I saw Robb open the door. Behind him walking away was another Starke man I remember as Brandon Starke II. while accompanying him was my sister Obella of whom was most likely leaving Robbs side for the first time since we had arrived.

"Father there is a party of Lannisters entering the city who wish to meet as well with Lady Martell." Eddard nearly burst from his seat before coming around to my side of the table and grabbing my cloak from the hanger on the wall. 

"I am sorry Milady but we must cut our conversation short and meet with the Lannisters." He helped me up, and despite never needing the help I knew the reasons behind it, and I took his arm and pulled myself from the chair where he would place the cloak over my shoulders.

"I thought you believed it didn't go well speaking with Lord Tywin?"

"I guess the minds of people like the Lannisters are difficult to read for simple soldiers like me." He laughed as he said it before leading me out the door following behind Robb who led us through the winding hallways and out into the courtyard.

"Where are we to meet the Lannisters Ser Robb?"

"Meetings with the Lannisters are held in the High Keep." As he said High Keep I remembered from yesterday as we had made our way to the third teir of the city, and how high up it was. I wondered why two groups such as House Lannister, and House Starke would have ever thought it was a good idea to meet in a place so easily formed for throwing people off ledges in anger. Laughing to myself brought the attention of Robb of whom looked back and smiled to himself as if knowing I was laughing at some joke I told myself.

Walking along we were joined at the gate to the third tier by a young man dressed all in red armor, and a large Lion Emblem on his chest. It wasn't difficult to know he was a Lannister but Robb walked up to him and clasped his hand in what to me looked like friendship. The man smiled at Robb briefly exchanging words before the two laughed. The laughter of the two ended when me and Eddard reached them, and behind the young Lannister was approached by an older Lannister man with a massive Blond beard. 

"Lord Eddard Starke it has been a long time since I have seen you."

"It has Ser Stafford. What brings you and your nephew to the gates to meet us?" So the young man was the nephew of Ser Stafford Lannister. Thinking back to my class time that could mean it was Lucion, Lancel, or Tyrek Lannister. I doubted Lucion as he was known as Lame Lannister for his ugly appearance and slow brain, but Lancel or Tyrek were both possiblities.

Stafford Lannister stepped forwards staring at me before speaking "To meet with the beautiful Lady Martell is more then enough reason to come here Lord Starke." He gave me a strange look as he said it, and I felt my arms instinctively pull my cloak around me a little further. It was cold so the act would be seen as such, but it was meant for more then keeping the fall snow off me.

"From our last talks it didn't seem your brother was willing to make the trip."

"You must have mistaken. We left a few hours after you did, and we are more then happy to meet a representative of the true King of Lucerne in William Lovie third of his name." Well that was shocking, but if he had wanted to let it sink in he didn't wait long before he nearly immediately turned around summoning the younger Lannister with a look to follow behind him and led us towards High Keep.

During this conversation Eddard would first reveal the emotional damage that was caused against Bill Lovie during the Battle of Lyons including the fact of how kind, and funny a person that Bill Lovie was before the events of the Battle of Lyons. Also revealing the first mention of the fact that Bill Lovie was responsible for the destruction of the Lucernian city of Tree Hill this would be a shocking revelation for a girl that was one of the few people who had been almost always treated with kindness by the King as Leven was one of basically three people that Bill Lovie did not outright hate.

The Arrival of several Lannisters was shocking for everyone around, as Eddard had said the conversations hadn't indicated they would come. Something was changing in the air when the Starke's were willing to abandon the king, and the Lannisters were willing to do anything.
Leven Martell

As Leven talked with Eddard they were interrupted by Robb Starke entering to alert his father that several Lannisters had arrived in the city to meet with Leven. Eddard would lead Leven, and her sister to the Lannisters who waited in the main keep where it was said Tywin, Stafford, and Tyrek Lannister had come. Tywin would join Eddard and Leven in meeting, and Tywin appeared to Leven to be nothing like the man she had heard legends of back in Lucerne as this man in front of her discussed wanting to assist the prince, and wanting to eliminate the tyranny that his father had brought on the land. Eddard and Tywin would argue briefly over an event they called the Plague, but she knew nothing about it, so she made a note to find out about it later. Tywin did suggest that he wished to meet with the prince, as Eddard had and Leven knew her time in Stormwind was over and her time for returning to William was upon her he had one major truth to reveal. Eddard would take Leven to the top of Stormwind once more where joined by his wife he would reveal to Leven that James had orchestrated the destruction of Tree Hill, and that he was still actively resisting attempts to save those inside the city. Horrified by what this meant she would take a letter written by him and still in shock prepare to leave the city to return to William. While this was happening it was Decius Dalmatia that returned to Castle Dalmatia with the orders that he believed had come from James Lovie II. but were in fact false orders given by Tristan Lovie.

Stormwind Negotiations[]
Sansa Starke Betrothed
If he turns out to be a monster Robb do not fret. We have our out. I will not force your sister to marry any monster. I promise you this.
Eddard Starke

Following the departure of Leven Martell from Stormwind travelling to Forks in order to meet with William it would be the Lannisters that called a meeting with the Starke's. Meeting together at the the Keep of Stormwind the group would discuss moving forward as the Starke's were very clearly completely behind William Lovie III. but the Lannisters would quickly point out that in order to move forward and join this alliance they would need more. Discussions would begin when Tywin requested that Sansa Starke be betrothed to Joffrey Lannister of which was rejected initially but was eventually agreed to once assurances were made that if the relationship was not acceptable to both parties upon meeting then new arrangements would be made instead. With marriage ties to bind them there were deals made on trading and control of the Rhunian region of which more regulated what was quite a chaotic region, and thus the Lannisters would agree to join with the Starke's in their support of William. With the Lannisters now joining the forces of William it was the spies for James at the negotiations that would send word ahead of what had transpired in Stormwind. This word was taken by Canius Opimius westward, and while Canius himself would travel all the way to Lucerne to alert James it was Canius that also stopped at Castle Dalmatia to alert Landsgrave Modius Dalmatia of what was transpiring.

Final Resistance[]

Leven Martell Cover5
You had a different feeling about the land after you heard the words of the honorable Eddard Starke. This was a man who you just knew from hearing him that he spilled out honor, and yet he was telling his horrible tales you just didn`t want to be true.
Leven Martell

With the loyalty of House Starke assured and Eddard promising to do his best for the rest of eastern Lucerne Leven would return to Lannistane and back to the boats which would take her directly to Forks. While this was happening the James loyalist Modius Dalmatia would be preparing an ambush in order to capture Leven and hold her as a means to bring William to the table. While the main ambush was being prepared at Castle Dalmatia it was Franzal Nighting and a group of Nighting soldiers present at Castle Dalmatia that would take a boat and attempt to make their own move against Leven. Franzal was hopeful that if he gained Leven before House Dalmatia then James Lovie II. would begin to favor House Nighting again. Before leaving for this ambush it was Franzal that left a letter for Rachel in Castle Dalmatia where she was rushing towards in order to find Franzal before anything could happen. The Nighting ship would use the cover of fog to join the small fleet of Leven Martell and getting inside their ranks it was Franzal and his force that would use rafts to get right beside the boat of Leven Martell and then used ropes to get on to the boat. Once on the boat they would spread out throughout the top deck where they would quickly kill the captain and two guards on the main deck in preparation for their move against Leven. Leven and Dorea were unable to sleep due to the snoring of Obella and thus decided to go to the main deck and sit for a time. Leaving their sleeping sister Obella they went to the top deck, and while at first, they brought nothing with them it was Leven that watched Dorea grab her dagger that led Leven to also grabbing her sword.

I hope this letter finds you in good health Rachel. I want you to know I will always be thankful to you for raising me. You were the mother I was lucky enough to have, and for that I will always have nothing but love for you in my heart.
Franzal Nighting

When they reached the top deck, it was completely pitch black out, and the only light was the single flame burning beside captains’ wheel. Leven would approach the captain and find him with a knife in his neck and bleeding out all over the deck. Reaching for her sword she barely got it out before a dagger narrowly missed her head and slammed into the pole behind her. Sliding to the deck she was forced to defend herself as a red masked man charged at her. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Dorea fighting against another man, and she could hear commotion as the rest of the boat clearly awoke from the fighting. Initially Losing her fight to the red masked man she would finally kill him after he tripped on one of the bodies strewn about the deck, and she would slice his head from his body before he fell into the river (The attacker would later turn out to be Franzal Nighting after Rachel Nighting revealed one of her cousins had been killed by Leven and this was the only instance that makes sense). The crew then broke through the locked door keeping them below and the other man would jump into the river to escape where two were killed by arrows fired at them but the remainder were able to swim back to their boat. Following this attack, the crew remained on heavy alert as they made their way westward and decided to stop at Castle Cerintha instead of Castle Dalmatia as they had originally planned due to Appius convinsing this was the best option. Appius for his part had become completely broken by what he had learned in Stormwind and now the assassination attempt made him even more confused over the truth, and thus while Leven stopped at Castle Cerintha it was Appius that took a ship and traveled to Castle Dalmatia.

Army of Modius lands west of Castle Cerintha in preperation for the Battle 4. Arrival of the Dalmatia fleet who blockades the port of Castle Cerintha 5.

We have to stop her because she found out the truth. Our loyalty to the king does not end. It doesn't matter what he has done.
Modius Dalmatia

Appius did not have to travel far before he ran into a blockade led by ships carrying the flag of his household. Approaching the ships he met with the captain of the fleet in Juventius Ovidus who told him that his father had camped on the shore and to speak with him of which Appius did and discovered what appeared to be thousands of troops all camped on the riverbank. Appius would meet go to his fathers tent where he found his father and all the Dalmatia vassals meeting in regards to what he quickly realized was an ambush on the fleet of Leven Martell. While Appius did not reveal that Leven was at Castle Cerintha it had already been revealed by one of the survivors from the Nighting failed attack, and thus the army was planning to move against Castle Cerintha while the fleet split up with most moving to Castle Cerintha to blockade the castle while the remainder split in half to block any attempt to relieve the castle from west, and east. While the vassals moved about to get ready to march, and sail it was Appius that met with his father telling him that Leven was a good person who was loyal to the prince. To his shock it was Modius that told his son he already knew that James had ordered the destruction of Tree Hill, and that was the reason they had to stop Leven, and then use her capture as leverage. Shocked by what he had discovered it was Appius that took command of several ships in the Dalmatia fleet and joined Juventius, and Pisentius in moving to Castle Cerintha to blockade the castle.

This isn't personal Lady Martell. I just serve a different king.
Modius Dalmatia

Realizing that the words of his father had been lies, and they were following a mad king it would be Appius Dalmatia that would conspire with the loyalist Pisentius Larcius to gain control of the Dalmatia forces and stop his father from getting them all killed. While the fleet was blockading Castle Cerintha it was Appius and Pisentius that took a group of soldiers and made there way to the flag ship of the Dalmatia ships in the form of The Medee and would meet with captain Juventius Ovidus. Juventius was an honorable man, and had lost a brother at Tree Hill and thus when he was told what had actually transpired there he would join with Appius and with Juventius on their side they gained the fleet. Juventius would have several captains he wasn't sure of the loyalty of removed to their quarters, and with this control now in place it was Appius that attempted to end the battle before it could start. While the army of his father was preparing the siege it was Appius that took a raft and while carrying a white flag entered the port of Castle Cerintha. Quickly taken by the Cerintha forces he was brought to the main hall where Leven, and the Cerintha forces were planning for the coming battle. Meeting with them he revealed the changed loyalty of the fleet, and that if Leven would call a parlay with the Dalmatia forces he believed he could convince the other leaders of his fathers army to stand down.

I would be within my rights to have you executed for what you have done. What you nearly did. I will instead allow you to return to your home under the watch of the new Lord of Dalmatia. You are not to leave your families lands until this is all over with. I trust you will watch over him Appius.
Leven Martell

Taking the advise of Appius its Leven that meets one last time with the forces of Modius and sending a messenger to the Modius forces she lies and says the meeting is where she will surrender to Modius. Leaving through the gate of Castle Cerintha with just Lord Atrius Cerintha, Dorea, and Titus Numonis she watches as Appius hides his face under a hood as he carries a white flag alongside the group as they walk towards the riders that have come from the Modius forces. Reaching the Modius group she can tell that he has brought many of his vassals to watch her surrender and realizes that Appius was right about what his reaction would be to her surrendering. The two barely speak before Appius removes his hood and calls out his fathers lies in front of the Dalmatia vassals, and the two argue for a few minutes before Clodius Cervidus the most powerful of the Dalmatia vassals voices his support of Appius. Realizing that he has lost its Modius that agrees to stand down and face the consequences of what he views as his devotion to his oaths. Following a discussion between Leven and Appius it is agreed that Modius would be placed under house arrest at Castle Dalmatia and remain there until William had made a decision on him. Appius would be given lordship of House Dalmatia by his father in front of their most prominent vassals and then while Appius commanded the vassals to prepare their forces to return home he had Juventius Ovidus who had just arrived at the meeting to take Modius to the Medee and personally take him back to Castle Dalmatia.

Arriving in Castle Dalmatia[]
It was actually the first person I have ever killed. He moved quicker then anyone I had ever fought before. He tripped on a body and as he got he stumbled on the blood and I took his head from his body. His red mask was the only thing that didn't fall in the water.
Leven Martell
Arriving in Castle Dalmatia[]
You killed my cousin Leven. He was seventeen and just wanted to help his family. He didn't deserve to die on that river.

Oberyn Martell to Leven Martell

Leven and Oberyn Martell were not especially close while she was young as he was constantly away, and when he did return home for his brief times she was in Lucerne at the Academy. Their relationship grew after his return for good during the days following the Journey, and during this time as her father got sicker and sicker, she came to look at her uncle as a father of sorts. Oberyn would knight her for her valor during the Journey, and together he joined her in swearing his oaths to the King of Lucerne as he was the new Grand Lord of House Martell as his brother Doran had secretly stepped down with only a select few knowing how close to death Doran truly was. Oberyn worked alongside Leven Martell to have his bastard daughters turned into a bastardy Knightly Order and this was the final element to the true growth of their relationship. Oberyn Martell would be convinsed by Leven to journey again and this led to Oberyn travelling to Bolten where he led the Martell forces into the attack on Karhold.
