Chapter 21 - 22

 

The End

 

    It was the longest contest on Botton Banner books, and a very involved contest.  Within the throws of war, the beginning started with it losing a few of the most predominant managers.  This did give us a hole in the influence of the territories, as I, Salvageyard, played a bit of Little Finger having alliances on many sides, but my loyalty laid at the feet of Duke of Dorkdom, whom had always played with the realms of the Botton Banners, and whom always came up close to grabbing a few of these banners, only to be held back from just reaching it's grip. 

 

In the end, I had to turn on my master if only to be put away before Duke of Dorkdom led his fierce battalions on to the final throws of Shark's last stand.  It was a brutal end and a ground stomping victory by the forces that the Old War Horse had conjured up in the pits of battle.  Shark's precision giants held their own throughout the war, keeping The Shark hunting to the very end.  The Dragon, DTG, used his forces in fearful strikes, and he was feared during the middle of the war to take the throne, especially after aligning with his brother down-under.

But it was the mighty stomp of the Old War Horse's shoes and boots that put aside all comers, and his place within the Halls of The Botton Banners is now complete!  All Hail the Mighty Old War Horse, as he captures The Iron Throne!  May more conquests be plundered to his mighty strike!

ARCHIVE -

 

April 22, 2018

 

Spawned from the fields of giants and dwarves, and the blistering flames of mechanized war, comes a new Botton Banner challenge!  In this epic battle for a Botton Banner you will march divisions of armies across the lands to lay waste to your opposing foe, while trying to out live your adversaries behind a fragile castle of stone!  Each manager entering will create three new fighters within the welterweight division and put them on manual schedule until further notice.  One fighter will represent your King, while the other two will represent your two division of armies that you will use to occupy other contender's lands to pummel at a castle until it is destroyed and the king harboring within is eliminated from the game along with his invading armies.

 

Multiple armies from different challengers can occupy a king's land and team up to crush the castle to the ground, and armies may be split among two fronts and to give their ruling king two challengers to wipe from the game.  These armies can become more powerful over time and their score will be based on their rating and the results of their weekly bouts.

 

.5 x rating for Decision wins

.75 x rating for KO wins

1 x rating for TKO wins

 

The amount of Hit Points for each castle the armies will be facing against will be determined by how many entries the contest receives.  This will allow a formulation of how long the contest will play out.  The fighter designated as the King will be able to defend some hit points being waged against his castle on a weekly basis, but he is not too powerful as he only blocks a set amount of points, ...but he will be useful in the early part of the game.

 

Decision win blocks - 1 HP

KO win blocks - 2 HP

TKO win blocks 3 HP

 

This is a mockup version of the map that depicts the action of the contest.  Each color will correlate to its entry manager.  The movement of the armies will be allowed by simply entering the name of the land that you want your armies to occupy before fight time of the welterweight division in the "Game of Thrones Begins" thread in the forum.  The armies will remain in that land until you choose to move them again before the weekly welterweight results.

 

The game will continue until there is one last castle standing among the lands, and that manager will be the ruler of The Game of Thrones Botton Banner! 

 

To enter, create three welterweight divisional fighters and place them on manual schedule.  Announce your entry into the "Game of Thrones Begins" thread within the forum section and designate which fighter will be your king and which two fighters will be your armies.  Keep these armies and king new and fresh until the contest begins, this will be announced when there are a sufficient amount of entries. 

 

May 4 (be with you), 2018

 

A couple of clarifications on the current aspects of the game.  Armies are allowed to move to any land you wish them to by announcing their movement in the "Game of Thrones Begins" thread.  There is no specific path of movement they must follow to get to the lands you want your armies to occupy.  You can even split the armies among two different lands.  The weekly fights of the King and Armies will be every Thursday night. Announcing your armies movements prior to the fight results of Thursday will move those armies to the lands specified in your post, and for any strategy sake you can announce their movements moments before the Thursday night fight results, any announcement after that specific time; which is also time stamped within the forum thread; will be moved to those lands for the following week, unless again announced otherwise.  Consider the announcement of the movements of your armies in the thread as the politics of the game, as alliances will most likely form behind the scenes, and eventually turn on one another, and multiple relocation of armies may happen.  If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

 

After some consideration about the amount of managers we have signed up and the run length of the contest, each castle will start with 50 Hit Points (HP).

 

Let's sprinkle in some more dynamics to the game, and really add some ambition to my weekly scoring and updates.  I will try to have a new update every Sunday that will follow the story line of the contest, from the weekly bouts to the movement of armies, and upcoming fights from the Saturday night scheduling.  If you found I have made a mistake, let me know as soon as you can and I will correct it.

 

King Head to Head (H2H) - While the King is not very powerful in the long aspects of the game, he will be a great influence on not only your weekly hopes of additional modifiers but also have a huge affect of the weekly contest results if he comes head to head with another king.  In H2H match ups of the kings, the winning king will have his army's damage results doubled (x2) as the affect of the king's win bolsters your army's will! The losing king's armies will have have any damage nullified (0) for that week as the losing king will deplete his army's confidence. 

 

King's Army Modifiers - The king's influence on his armies will grow with every consecutive win the king can muster.  The following modifiers will be added to the score damage of an army onto the castle the army is warring against.  These will be accumulative, meaning, each success will be added to the damage an army can inflict on a castle.  These modifiers are only gained by king wins and not army wins, but affect your army's damage capability.

 

(W)

3 Wins in a Row = +.25

4 Wins in a Row = +.75

5 Wins in a Row = + 1

Total of +2 Possible

(K)

3 KO/TKO Wins in a Row = +.50

4 KO/TKO Wins in a Row = + 1

5 KO/TKO Wins in a Row = + 2

Total of +3.5 Possible

Grand Total of +5.5 Possible

 

White Walkers -  When a castle is destroyed (0 HP) the king is dead.  While the dead king will have very little impact on the contest other than playing spoiler from the grave on the hopes of other's armies and king victories, the armies of the dead king will turn into White Walkers, meaning that they'll still act as armies on the map, and can even be moved by their undead leader to whichever lands they want to occupy by continued announcements in the thread.  While all modifiers will be removed from the now White Walking army, they'll still be able to score damage on a castle they are attacking each week.  So while you may be out of the contest with a dead king, your White Walking army can still affect the game significantly.

Decision Win = 1

KO Win = 2

TKO Win = 3

 

Dragon Glass - What's a live king to do in the face of the growing undead armies of the White Walkers?  Collect Dragon Glass!  For each weekly roust from a leader, meaning that both the king and his two armies all grab a win that week, one piece of Dragon Glass will be collected.  For each piece of Dragon Glass collected is one damage point deflected from White Walkers on the king's castle (-1).

 

Dragon - What would a game of thrones be without dragons?  A very powerful beast can be mustered from a spectacular accomplishment!  Win all bouts with your king and armies in TKO fashion in one week and a dragon will be spawned to do your bidding!  Each dragon can be wielded as a defender of a castle if held at the king's side, deflecting five points from any damage from armies or White Walkers received on the king's castle that week (-5).  Or if chosen to be moved with an army, can inflict an extra five damage points on an opposing king's castle (+5).  If chosen to move with an army, announce which army you wish it merge with in the "Game of Thrones Begins" thread if you control such a beast.  The dragon will stay with that army unless announced differently.  The army that the dragon has joined with must win that week for the damage of the dragon to be added to the total damage done on a castle.  Multiple dragons can join with a single army, if multiple dragons have been spawned.

 

There will be no weekly missions in this contest other than the additional modifiers and accomplishments already listed.  While I'll try to take care of the scoring the best I can, just remember it all is as easy as winning each week, and announcing which lands you want your armies to occupy, but if you find I've made a mistake, let me know as soon as possible and I'll correct it.  If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and I'll answer them as immediately as I can.

 

WINTER IS COMING!

 

May 6, 2018

 

    The World was within the midst of a long summer.  Peace and tranquility admired the lands, but an unrest among the powerful leaders grew as the hints of winter's coming put into motion the gears of war.  The Iron Throne remained vacant, and those who lusted for its seat gathered their armies and proclaimed their kings.  For it was the Iron Throne they sought, and once claimed, would endow their king as ruler of all the lands.  The drums pounded, horns blared, and the stomping march of armies shook the lands.  A great war would ensue, and the first of battles would rage.  What would come of Westseros and Essos?  The tides of time would only tell.

 

H2H - Aryas Sword VS J. Aaron "True King of the North" Stark

 

May 13, 2018

 

Chapter 1 - The World Divides

 

    It was a world of nine kingdoms.  Nine powerful houses formed along the population and then coalesced into war.  Within the heart of Westeros was King's Landing and the domain of Dodgeball, The Great Bear, and the Targaryen family.  Along the north, Winterfell, and The Halls, family of the Starks, and the true rulers of The North.  Within the south Salt Shores, The Wizard, House of Z, the realm of champions and the ghosts of kings.  Guarding the great northern wall stood Castle Black, The Walls of Worknman, The Boot, and the summoned army of the walking dead.  Sunk into the shore of Flint Cliffs harbored The Lair of KanLaw, home of The Young Brave and Swamp Castle.  Perched along the west coast of Westeros was Duke of Dorkdom, Casterly Rock and stable of The Old War Horse, flanked to the east by DTG's Dungeon, land of Dragonstone, The Dragon and the wickets of war.  In the dust bowl of Essos, Vaes Dorthrak, The Salvage Yard, ruler of clubs, seller of goats.  To the north, the Lands of Shark, Braavos, The Shark, Champion of Giants. 

 

    It was the Dothraki Horde which first sounded the cries of battle as their king proclaimed that the true threat of the lands would be in the heart of Westeros, with in the heart of King's Landing.  The Shark of Essos followed, but diverted an army to the Salt Shores to also lay siege on the House of Z.  Upon seeing the move into Westeros by the armies of Essos, The Wizard retaliated upon the gates of Vaes Dothrak with full force of his champion army, and within time, The Great Bear and The Dragon would follow.  North Westeros caved in on itself, as the armies within the cold lands lashed out at one another.  The Boot invaded into the Lair of KanLaw, as The Halls sent the Stark family north to The Walls of Worknman.  KanLaw, The Young Brave, sailed across The Narrow Sea to lay purchase on the Lands of Shark.  Only the Old War Horse held out his true intentions until the battles began to wage.

 

    As what would come to be known as The Legion of Legends; The Great Bear, The Wizard, and The Dragon; shook the ground and unsettled the dust within the waste lands of Vaes Dothrak, poised to submit great damage to the castle of Salvage Yard. The thrust of the great army of The Legion onto the borders of Vaes Dothrak would sure set the first of steps for The Legion's domination of the world.  But as the battle waged, The Legion found themselves pushed up to a wall of unfortunates.  The Dothraki King was surprisingly strong and held back the forces of The Great Bear and The Wizard.  The Dragon faced another threat, a Champion fight with the king of Winterfell and the outcome would determine which king's forces would rule the day, and which king's forces would mire in defeat. 

 

    The Needle of The Dragon proved to be no match for the true king of the north, J. Aaron Stark and the first of head to head battles would go to the empty handed forces of The Halls.  The Dragon's forces, while professing victory, would have those victories stripped from their hands, leaving the castle of Salvage Yard free of damage within the first battles.  Saliva, the king of Dothrak, climbed to the peak of his walls and thrown over a carcass of a goat and roared, "How'd you like them goats?"

 

    In the heart of Westeros, the Dothraki Horde and an army of The Shark waged against the brick and mortar of King's Landing.  The Horde proved to be savage, but even more damage would come to the House of Targaryen.  From the west shores of Westeros the roaring thunder of hooves struck path to King's Landing and joined carnage with the goat herders of Essos and put claim on the lands of The Great Bear.  The Old War Horse had sought to gain counter on The Great Bear as his eyes were set to the east at Essos.

 

    The first of skirmishes would prove to have little to none affect, but the first of alliances would set the division among the world.  The world was at war, winter was coming, and the Iron Throne remained vacant.

Chapter 2 - The Balance Wanes

 

    Not short of the first of skirmishes did The Great Bear begin to see the mass of armies along his castle walls, costing a few carved bricks in the first wave.  The Horde had struck first damage to House of Targaryen, along with The Old War Horse, as the Horde's rogue forces had drawn The Bear's allies into unfair battles.  The Great Bear was not to stand for that.  Within daylight The Bear had summoned elite armies to wipe aside King Saliva's fray armies to give room to The Legion's full force assault on the castle of Vaes Dothrak, but the fog of war, and the early untrained armies of all sides muttered in one another's way.  By night's end, little headway had been gained by either side.

 

    It was the Champion Battle of Kings that would greatly determine the outcome of army victories and castle destruction within the second stance of the war.  While the Dragon's armies seethed at victories, The Needle would again fall in king combat, but this time to The Shark's King, leaving the castle of Salvage Yard again unscathed by The Dragon's assault.  The Shark's King gained the great advantage of stirring his troop's moral, and his battalion within the Salt Shores sent another shock of stones into the walls of the Wizard's tower.  In the second champion battle of the day was J. Aaron Stark, True King of the North, and the Dothraki King Saliva. 

 

    The Halls had shifted The Stark's focus on King's Landing and away from The Walls of Worknman in a daring move to join battle against The House of Targaryen.  Either king could gain  in the champion battle , but one would have his forces thrown from victory and have his castle exposed.  The Dothraki King prevailed on the field and thus cut short The Legion's push into Vaes Dothrak by The Great Bear and The Wizard.  But in the battle a single brick had fallen from Saliva's castle.  His eyes turned worried... it would only be the first.  The Dragon only grows stronger, and it was only a matter of time.

 

   The breath of diplomatic winds had played across the north and had garnered the ear of The Young Brave.  Swamp Castle ordered the armies of Flint Cliffs to invade into King's Landing, leaving behind the shores of Braavos, only as The Shark sent clear warning of the previous strategy with a barrage closely deflected by the Flint Cliff's defense.   The balance of war began to play out, the balance of peace only a razor's edge.  The war had just begun, the alliances just formed, and armies would only grow stronger.  Tremendous destruction could be heard just on the horizon.

Chapter 3 - Godspeed to the Great White Wizard of the Midwest

 

     It is known that some things in this universe are more precious than the pretentious dribble of wide mouthed club wielders and the petty internal politics of a pacifying continuum of habitual addiction, if all be it harmless.  For the Wizard, whom had proved superiority above all others within the realm he stewarded, the final pinnacle of success had already been reached and surpassed, ...all be it by The Mighty Z.  Nothing more did he have to prove, nothing more he had to endure, nothing more he would have to sacrifice to the unnecessary needs of wanna-be's crying in his wake.  The Wizard's path to the peak of Legendaries could only be studied as proverb, the true grasp, knowledge and execution of the sweet science of Big Dawg Boxing.  And while his journey just begins at the ends of Salt Shore, I can only hope that his adventure be full of pleasantries and experiences that only lead him back, to return as the Great Gray Wizard of the Midwest, with even more wisdom to spread amongst us... by the shear dominance he has already graced us in combat.  Farewell, Old Friend, may your journey be swift and treasurable... may your experiences be fruitful, may your passage lead you back to us some day, ...I will always be your servant, if not always humble.

 

    As the Great Wizard departs a world was still at war.  The eight banners of houses still remaining waved the lines drawn and the battles which warred across the heart of Essos and the eastern shores of Westeros.  A coalition among the northern territories formed and gathered their forces along the defense of Dragonstone.  Three houses stood along the walls that protected The Dragon's dungeon; The Shark, The Boot, and The Young Brave, formed the Northern Alliance; and waged against the stone of The Dragon.  The Shark spearheaded a perfect assault on The Dragon's castle that writhed forth damage in all directions.  His king, triumphant in a champion battle against his newly found ally, The Young Brave, inspired Shark's troop to a full on assault that could only be partially deflected by The Needle's first success in combat.

 

    In the bad lands of Essos, The Great Bear and The Dragon finally find gap in the Dothraki defenses, as King Saliva falls in champion combat against Abraxas The Supreme, leaving the Dothraki castle open to punishment.  The biggest blow of the war yet would fall onto the walls of the Dothraki King and the hand of The Legion of Legends would only grow stronger, even without The Wizard's forces.  To the eastern shores of Westeros and the gates of King's Landing, Abraxas The Supreme King of Dorkdom gains a third triumph and his influence on his armies grow.  The victory on the field of champions inspire the will of his armies, leading one to inflict heavy damage into heart of Westeros, King's Landing.

 

    Armies grow in power and strength.  Prince Joffery gains third victory on the battlefield and his presence within Dothraki lands threatens the very foundation the Dothraki king stands upon.  Ice and Fire, of The Dragon, also share feeding on the Dothraki Horde, as the lands of Essos rumble with the feet of mighty battalions striking pace to the continued push into Vaes Dothrak. Shark's Death Guard gives Braavos a hero army to throw against the now damaged walls of Dragonstone, as The Shark begins to let his will be known as his armies run full force across the province of The Dragon. 

 

The World has fallen into three warring parties, three raging battles, three castles being ripped apart and only two sides.  Tides change, they always do.  The wind blows whispers in the air from which hearts grow fond and hearts grow cold.  Even on the edge of victory, the defeat of peace will continue to wane until the last king stands with his banner above all others and his place on the Iron Throne.

Chapter 4 - Influence of Kings

 

War of The Unders

 

    Long days past, and many winters ago, there was a story told of a land far far south.  Beyond the brake rocks of Greenstone and even farther past the beaches of Salt Shore, at the bottom of The World, to which old legends referred to a forgotten land known as Australantis.  It was in this land that a people called The Unders reigned and resided.  A people who had escaped a world of feathered hierarchy and corrupt coin, to prosper and flourish in an alien country full of mysterious lands and even stranger creatures.  Some fables tell that the lands were swallowed by the oceans, as earthquakes, tidal waves, and volcanic eruptions, tore the lands apart and it descended into the abyss of phantoms.  Other tales say that the lands themselves were lifted into the heavens by the hand of a god, and the earthly devastation was only a result of the ascension.  Whichever story holds true, The Unders did not fully disappear from The World.  One family, by the signature of a dragon, founded a new colony on the eastern providence of Westeros, as another family, crested by a shark's fin, settle into the plush northern shores of Essos.  The two divided branches of The Unders renewed their commonwealths and from it two cities emerged as powerful entities in the newly settled world.  Today, many many winters later, they are at war with one another.

 

    The Shark and his Northern Alliance had taken siege on the brick and mortar of Dragonstone and had cut into the resources of The Dungeon, from which The Dragon laid providence to the surrounding lands.  With his armies engaged in the badlands of Vaes Dothrak, along side his remaining ally of the Legion of Legends, The Dragon saw a brake in The Shark's defenses and mustered the Wickets of War to the gates of Braavos.  Ice and Fire and Valyrian Steel would come to batter the pristine gates of Braavos into shattered iron, sending the leader of the Northern Alliance a well timed response.  The Shark's king had been sequestered to a feasting.

 

Three Kings and The Banquette of The Horde

 

    In the wide attack Salvageyard had swung into the war it would be on this day three kings would be pulled into the skirmishes, and the vengeance of clubs would find mark that day.  In a ceremony that should of been give and take, The Horde took almost all, only Shark's Death Guard would escape to put purchase on The Dungeon's walls.  While the Winterfell's king would lose nothing in the exchange of a cut battle, The Shark's loss by his king to The Horde would leave Braavos gates unprotected, as The Dragon found full shot against it.  The third king to fall to The Horde would be King Aerys II Targaryen, leaving the castle of King's Landing undefended against a full on assault from the remainder of The Horde's leading forces and the forces of his allies.  The Bear would face the largest assault on his castle, as his own armies faltered in the dust of Vaes Dothrak.

 

A King Rises

 

    Amongst the chaos of war, in the blood filled trenches of battle lines and borders, there comes a king about to be crowned.  Abraxas The Supreme is starting to live up to his name as he captures his fourth victory in a row and his influence on his armies grow.  While only one of The Old War Horse's armies found victory in this time, the addition of moral their king brings to them bolsters their confidence and helps add to the devastation laid upon the falling walls of King's Landing.  A fifth victory will be sought and with it a most powerful king upon the lands will walk among his armies and rally them to the Iron Throne.

Chapter 5 - Entrenched

 

War of The Unders Wage

 

    As the battle lines harden, The War of The Unders begins to laden Braavos with the struggles of the Northern Alliance against the walls of Dragonstone.  Ayras Sword, The Needle, gains a third consecutive victory in brutal fashion, and with it an air of influence now encourages The Dragon's main armies.  Leading the charge, Ice and Fire becomes the predominant force within the lands, as the foot soldiers of The Dragon throw against the now battered gates of Braavos.  Only The Young Brave, of Flint Cliffs, finds mark against The Dungeon, but The Needle is able to beat back the withered charge with stiff defensive response, and the Northern Alliance stalls among the rocks of Dragonstone. 

 

There Comes a King

 

    A gray haired old man sat toiling among papers behind a weathered oak desk, while he mumbled indecisive words to himself and chuckled sporadically at thoughts he mused.  Within the soft yellow hue of candle light, as he shuffled through pages, the door to his chambers burst open spilling in light and with it a young squire.  "You are wanted on the battlefield, My Lord!"  The squire announced.  The old man sat almost unaware as he continued to reflect over the script before him.  Without a word, the old man stood, while his gaze told that he continued to mind over the information he had gathered.  The tattered robes he wore were helped stripped from his showing bones, and the squire dressed the old man in silver armor plating and a purple heavy cape that bore of bear fur of which trimmed it.

 

  Abraxas faced none other than the feared army of Sharks Death Guard, and with each side never tasting defeat it would come down to the Champion of Giants against the ball busters of The Old War Horse.  In a decisive battle, Abraxas The Supreme won a new crown from which to garner the greatest influence on his armies, and the day was still young for the old man of the west.  To the east laid King's Landing, and the old man's two armies gathered for an assault on the embattlements of The Bear's castle.  As Abraxas entered among his men forming station against King's Landing, Abraxas's new golden crown, that topped his armor, gleamed in the rays of the sun and a thunderous roar rose among the Casterly Rock armies.

    "I need a hole in that wall within the hour!," Abraxas growled as he peered from below his brow at the foundations of King's Landing.  His forces hooted and stomped the earth in response.  With his sword raised far above his head, and his horse rearing in a held charge, Abraxas swung his sword toward the brick and mortar that surrounded The Bear's fortress.  "To the Iron Throne, or to Valhalla!"  The white war horse beneath Abraxas fell forward into a head long charge and the armies it led followed suit in a feverous pitch of war cries. 

 

    It is said the smoke that day rising from King's Landing could be seen all the way across The Narrow Sea and in the dry lands of Vaes Dothrak, while it is also told that a gruff laugh could be heard all the way back across The Narrow Sea into King's Landing.  A king had risen among the chaos of war.  The influence on his armies now hold tremendous power, as Abraxas The Supreme becomes the Destroyer of Castles, The Wall Breaker, The Harbor of Destruction. 

 

A king has risen.

Chapter 6 - King's March

 

The Bear Bites Back

 

    As his walls crumble around him; the mighty Abraxas The Supreme and his allies still battering his sinking city; The Bear focuses charge on the mired troops of The Horde and sinks home a destructive blow to the main defenses of King Saliva's dusty providence.  In a perfect charge, The Bear's king and leading armies all find victory and a heavy hand is dealt to the enemies of King's Landing, with Prince Joffrey leading the way.  But a cold chill begins to filter into the air within King's Landing... the fires no longer as warm, and frost is building along the cobblestone that protect the last hopes of King Targaryen and his people from the grasp of a frigid undead.

"I may be vanquished from these lands, but in death, the afterlife will make us more powerful than you could ever imagine!"  The ruler of King's Landing explained to his court.  "We will wage against the enemies of King's Landing long after our departure, and long after our last dying breath.  We will rise anew, and crumble all those who apposed us!  And we will not stop, we will never stop... until the lands are cleansed!  If we can not be the rulers of The Iron Throne, than we shall devour all who seek it!  Let our last ride be set in the steps of The Bear Paw!!!"  The courtroom roared approving with the writhe of angry men.

 

The Dragon and The Shark

 

    It is said that they might be brothers.  At least brothers who once shared the same lands... many generations ago.  Today, they gnaw on one another, in an epic battle of The Under's supremacy among the world.  The Needle finds fourth favor in battle and dawns another new crown and the Dragonstone King influences the armies of The Dragon even further.  Only one more victory to lay eye to eye with Abraxas The Supreme and there will be an ultimate rivalry within the lands.  Shark strikes out a perfect assault regardless of his lacking allies, but The Needle deflects most of the damage and Dragonstone gains advantage of staying power within The Under's War.

Chapter 7 - Wild Ways of War

 

The Bear Vanishes

 

    Among the rubble of the castle within the glades of King's Landing, the alliance, which surrounded The Bear's fortress, now find the city vacant of life.  The Bear and his armies had vanished from their keep.  No longer willing to stand within the fray of battle, the leader of King's Landing retreats into the thick forests of Westeros, never to be seen again.   

 

The Clash of The Under's Kings

 

    It was on this day that the two kings of The Unders faced one another in a head to head battle that would determine the outcome of the continued battles that raged within the lands of Braavos and Dragonstone.  The Needle and Shark's King crossed blades in an epic battle of supremacy.  While the Shark's armies battered the lands of Dragonstone, their assault was listed by their king's fall in battle against The Dragon's champion.  The Needle had prevailed, and with it came the plunders of war.  But the Horde, which had proven little against the gates of King's Landing, found their rogue armies decimating The Dragon's main assault in Braavos and held the hand of The Needle, at least among this time.  The Needle had gathered the final piece that granted the champion ultimate influence among the armies of Dragonstone.  Now there were two crowned kings that pitted for the Iron Throne within the world.  Two powerful kings, two destroyers of castles, two wall breakers, two harbors of destruction... loomed a heavy shadow across the lands of Westeros and Essos.

 

J. Aaron Hall is dealing with some family health issues right now, we will put him on stand by for a couple of weeks to allow him some time.

Chapter 8 - The Dragon and The Needle

 

    After narrowly missing a massive potential assault on the Shark's castle just a week ago... held up in the fields by the Horde's fray armies, The Dragon and The Needle find true mark in the Under's War against the lands of Braavos in a perfect charge that left major destruction within its wake.  The Needle's lore dealt favor with moral of the Dragon's armies and the walls of Braavos shook this day with thunderous quake with the harbinger of destruction.  The shattering of stone could be heard all across the lands of Essos and Westeros. 

"I am the last of a great alliance known as the Legion of Legends!"  The Needle proclaimed.  "I shall be the last standing in this war of bothers!  I will not sail out of sight on a ship, I shall not crawl hiding into the woods!  I will, however, leave a trail of blood, cast a path of destruction, and mark the Iron Throne as my own!"  The court, which leered with hungry eyes into their king's, hollered in favor.  The tides of war had changed, the lessening of kings left vacant the sights of war, but the battles which scorched the earth and poisoned the waters grew in fierceness.

Chapter 9 - King to King, Horde to Horde

 

    Abraxas The Supreme, finishing the destruction of King's Landing, sets his eyes upon the barren rocks of Dragonstone and lays battle to The Needle's walls.  His ally in the destruction of The Bear's domain, King Saliva, unleashes battalions upon the scorched earth of The World, and every kings armies within the land is touched by battles with The Horde.  The Needle's army is again held up by the Dothraki armies, while The Old War Horse is able to slip by and lay damaging blow to The Dragon's castle.  The entire world now stands against the gates of DTG's Domain, The Under's War has turned into a bludgeoning siege upon the last standing of The Legion of Legends.  The Dragon can only muster hope that in some way he can seek allies in the waning ages of war against such an onslaught, but every standing army, and every king, has set the dogs of wrath against Dragonstone.  There can be no sanctuary for The Needle, though the defenses of Dragonstone remain strong.

Chapter 10 - Within The Fog of War

 

The Unders Unite

 

    Two ships within the Narrow Seas crossed in the night and made bridge across their port.  Harbored in the wooden hauls of the ships rose two kings, one from Dragonstone, one from Braavos.  The enemies which had crossed blades, found their brotherly bonds generated from their common ancestry of Australantis, and a truce was garnered among them, and a common adversary claimed.  The Unders massed their armies among the still polished stone of Casterly Rock, and the Old War Horse. 

 

The Great Blunder

 

    It could of been the biggest engagement of The World War for the Iron Throne, Abraxas The Surpreme had had his armies set to pitch Dragonstone into a pile of rubble.  Both armies from Casterly Rock posed with massive war works to lay waste to the last stand of The Needle, but within the fog of war, King Abraxas and King Saliva from Vaes Dothrak strike at one another in the shadows cast by the towers of the Dragonstone keep.  In an epic blunder of the allies in the lands of The Dragon, Abraxas is kneeled by Saliva and the Casterly Rock armies come up empty handed for the day.  The Dragon and The Shark find a opening in The Old War Horse's defense and make haste to exploit it.

 

The Unders Strike

 

    The World was shook this day.  The ground shuttered, the air thickened with smoke, the sounds of crumbling rock cracked all the way to Vaes Dothrak.  It was the largest assault and it was felt in the pristine lands of Casterly Rock.  The surprise attack had caught The Old War Horse being bugged by Horde's antics, and Casterly Rock took a heavy loss.  The tables had turned, the Unders had aligned, Casterly Rock was razed, and the Iron Throne remained empty...

Chapter 11 - The Greatest Armada and The Horde

 

Prelude To Banquette

 

    The Old War Horse had suffered greatly in the last battle.  The eastern walls of Casterly Rock laid broken and in pieces.  The Unders had struck deeply into Abraxas The Supreme's providence and shook the very foundations of the western kingdom, while the armies of Casterly Rock were thwarted in Dragonstone by Abraxas's fall in battle against Saliva of Vaes Dothrak.  Faced with another wave of battle, The Old War Horse gathered favor with the plans of The Unders and an uneasy truce was made.  The Old War Horse would join forces with The Unders and strike out across The Narrow Sea to the heart Essos and the dusty plains of Vaes Dothrak.  The Boot also parried favor with the Unders plans and gathered the Black Castle troops to set sail in what became the greatest and most powerful armada ever to cross fathoms.  It is said that the amount of ships that day, that pulled port from the eastern shores of Westeros, displaced the Narrow Sea by many stones and the wakes created by the sailing ships washed upon the shores for many hours latter departure. 

 

    The Horde had been an annoyance for far too long, it was time to put an end to the reign of club wielders.

 

Old Friends, Old Enemies

 

    A lone scout, who bore of animal hides and the stench of goats, cast camp along the shores just outside Pentos.  It was on this night he spotted lights bobbing in through a fog along the sea before him and he made haste to gather camp and ride hard and long back to the main hut of the king he served.  "Khal, many ships approach the shores of Essos!"  The scout claimed to King Saliva.  "They bore of a horse as the crest!"

 

"Ah!  My friend, The Old War Horse, comes to put a signature in our walls!", the Dothraki king chuckled. 

 

"They are followed by the crest of a dragon, a shark fin, and a boot.  They come in the thousands, my liege, by the ten's of thousands, ...Khal!"  The wide eyed scout could barely contain his fear.  The elated face of the Dothraki king twisted into a grimace.  The weight of two crowned kings and a slew of professional soldiers mounting an attack up his providence physically pushed the shoulders of the Dothraki king into a slump.  The scepter of Dothrak fell from his hands and clanked down the cobblestone to a thud in the dirt below his kingly perch.   It was moments later that the Dothraki king lifted his gaze to reveal a seething stare, he rose and drew his sword from its sheath and struck down upon the scepter below him, splitting it into two, and with another blow, into three, then four, then five. 

 

"We shall divide them, we shall mire them into many battles.  Disband the horde into many and we shall devour them!"   The king's anguished words spit into the hearts of his armies and Vaes Dothrak was abuzz with the clamoring of war.

 

Horde Warfare

 

    It was King Saliva who led the charge into the melee, with eyes set on the most formidable army within the lands of both Westeros and Essos, Sharks Death Gaurd.  It was in quick fashion that Saliva laid the champion of Shark aside, and one by one the armies of The Great Armada began to fall to The Horde.  Sharks Fishy Army, The Needle's Valyrian Steel, both armies of The Boot, and Eisheth were held back by the Dothraki defense, only Asmodeus, of The Old War Horse, battered through to lay claim on the standing keep of Dothrak.

 

"It could of been a hell of a lot worse!"  King Saliva announced, "...we could of lost a few goats..."

 

The wild ways of war had resurfaced in the dust bowl of Vaes Dothrak.  A new battle was waging, as the last remaining banners of The World fight for the Iron Throne.

Chapter 12 - The Great Armada Strikes Back

 

Unleashing The Dogs of War

 

    As the Dothraki king celebrated the first victory against The Great Armada, four kings gather on the borders of Vaes Dothrak and chuckle at the arrogance of the king of goats and clubs.  They had yet gathered their forces fully.  Heavy ballista, and powerful catapults were hurriedly constructed, and with the armies freshly rested and fed, the four kings of The Great Armada marched their forces into formation against the timber laid walls and straw erections of huts spattered within King Saliva's providence.  The Horde would be sent a message.  The mass of pounding feet of The Great Armada stirred up the dust around last stand of the Dothraki as it darkened the skies above all of Essos.

 

The Hand Falls

 

    It was The Old War Horse who led the charge into the hell pits of the Dothraki defense, striking down the first fray battalions of The Horde in battlefield domination.  The walls of Vaes Dothrak splayed open and a siege unlike any other began to fall onto the residents in the dry lands of Essos.  Even with staunch defense by King Saliva, who further gathered influence on his armies, could not hold back the reign of force which besieged his dusty providence.  The Dragon followed with a heavy blow to the flanks, and The Shark and The Boot furthered the damage with a light charge trailing in behind Abraxas's wake as the colony of The Horde burned and fell into ruins within the day.   A cold, icy grip of annihilation clutched the goat herders of Essos... a strange curse whispered in the air, and frost formed along the path of Dothraki.

 

Vengeance in Dragonstone 

 

    Upon hearing of the complete destruction of their homeland in Essos, the armies of King Saliva stationed within Dragonstone, pitched against the walls of The Dragon with all muster and the battlelines of The Dungeon shrank further inward, with no help from The Young Brave.  If Vaes Dothrak would fall, Dragonstone would fall with it... leaving only but a few kings to wage battle for The Iron Throne.

Chapter 13 - End of Times Celebration

 

Rise and Fall of King Saliva

 

    As King Saliva is crowned in a ceremony among the ruins of his providence, he takes shelter for his people into the arms of The Great Armada.  The battering of his kingdom and the yearn of his people force King Saliva to reconsider his position in Dragonstone and he implores the kings at his fallen gates to take pity upon his plight.  In a show of goodwill, Saliva moves his forces from Dragonstone to Flint Cliffs in an effort to keep his people and armies from the cold and frosty grip of the cursed realm of the undead.  Three kings of the Great Armada follow as a new force is born.

 

Flint Cliff's Mole Hill

 

With the greater force of three crowned kings pitting their armies against the Young Brave, the people of Flint Cliffs had nowhere to hide or hold.  A massive assault is laid upon the western providence, led by Abraxas The Supreme and his mighty armies, The Needle and Saliva follow, giving no quarter.  Flint Cliffs was pounded from a pristine country side to tattered ruins within the day, as four kings celebrated the end of times.  The world has been weakened, as the forces that mold it only grow stronger... and they all uneasily drank in celebration knowing only one of them would finally sit on the iron throne... ...soon.

Chapter 14 - Hanging By Threads

Asmodeus , aided by his king, slams Flint Cliffs in time of a lull in battle.  Only Abraxas The Supreme finds the favor of the god of war, as the others find their armies wanting.  With only the mighty blow of the Casterly Rock forces, The Brave Young clings to a slim glimmer from the cold hand of the White Winter.

Chapter 16 - To Make This Quick

 

The Young Brave is dead, his armies now whitewalkers.  The Old War Horse and the Dragon continue to batter Flint Cliffs for nothingness, while The Shark and King Saliva reign blows on The Boot.  Winter is coming...

Chapter 17 - And Then There Were Four

 

In The Rubble of Flint Cliffs

 

The Old War Horse continues to punish what was the remains of the lair of The Young Brave, as the Casterly Rock forces flex their power among empty rocks of the western providence.  Abraxas The Supreme finds Asmodeus his premier army among the lands, a mass of force that strikes fear in the advisories that remain in the hunt for the Iron Throne.

 

The Fall of Castle Black

 

It was in three weeks of the mass of armies that launched themselves north against the icey walls of Castle Black that The Boot was gripped by the cold hand of the curse of the white walkers.  Now four armies of the dead spread their tainted forms against the remaining mortals who lock swords for the final prize, the final four kings of the last bastion of The World.  Winter has come, powerful armies lurch at one another... and the sights of The Iron Throne come full sight for the final players among The Game of Thrones.

Chapter 18 - 19

 

End Of Alliances

 

    It was the winter, and the white walkers had started to come, just as the prophesies had foretold.  After the fall of the Black Castle north in Westeros, the band of remaining kings, who had allied in the destruction of The Boot, turned on one another.  It was The Shark who first set his troops onto Casterly Rock, and his brother in arms, The Dragon, turned to the east and back into the dust lands of Vaes Dothrak.  King Saliva turned his forces to the shores of Braavos, and The Old War Horse set the besiege back onto Dragonstone.  The kings had split... the jubilation of the end had turned bitter and cold.

 

It would of proved to be a devastating week, within the fields stood two kings in a head to head match that could of cast the fate of either in the pits of the cold despair of the grasp of the whitewalker death.  The Needle and King Saliva faced off and the blades of combat clashed on the hopes of gathering army strength.  It was King Saliva who was made victorious, but his armies floundered on the fields and the extra moral of their king's victory faded into nothingness.  The Shark had survived the waning time, defending his castle against the warring horde that settled onto his shores.

 

With the breech of his walls exposed, The Dragon caught damage from The Old War Horse and his formidable army, Asmodeus, who lurched deep into the castle's court and listed The Dragon over the precipice of annihilation.  The whitewalkers of the decomposing remains of The Young Brave's army clawed at the remaining standing walls, but it was The Dragon's collection of dragon glass that held them off.  The Dragon would stay alive another day, if not to continue the test of his luck in the lands of Vaes Dothrak.

 

Baring Of Shark Teeth

 

It would stand as the greatest of king battles, Abraxas The Supreme and Shark's GOT King would rage a battle that would determine the fate of either land.  The Old War Horse had turned his forces to the lands of Braavos and both armies of Casterly Rock and Vaes Dothrak would lay siege to The Shark's castle on this day.  As the two kings waged battle against one another, it was the forces of Casterly Rock who threw the muster of all experience onto the bricks of Braavos, but as the dust kicked up by the battle of the two kings settled, it was Shark's GOT King who kneeled Abraxas The Supreme.  The forces of Casterly Rock, who had insured the total destruction of Braavos, were faltered and The Shark fended off The Old War Horse's final solution for the land in north of Essos.

 

The two brothers of Australantis had survived the initial charge of The Old War Horse, with his lap dog, King Saliva nipping at heels for him... but it was only the initial charge.  The forces of Casterly Rock were truly formidable, it seemed it would only be a matter of time before they gathered the final prize, and gift their king the seat of The Iron Throne.

Chapter 20 - The World of Full Circles

 

    In the first strike of the war The Dragon had formed pack with The Legion of Legends against the sandy dust of Vaes Dothrak and King Saliva, it was now the last waging battles of the war that Vaes Dothrak return their armies to the shores of Dragonstone to lay siege on the remaining walls of The Dungeon.  In the last strike within Dragonstone, The Dothraki Horde of Inbred Mongoloids cast the last remaining finger of The Dragon into the frosty cold depths of the grasp of the white walker curse.  The Dragon spit a last volley against the falling wooden gates of Vaes Dothrak, leaving King Saliva soon to taste the same fate.

 

The Old War Horse flexes his battalions strength against the providence of Braavos again and this time there was no quarter for the people of the northern lands of Essos.  Only their king, Shark's GOT King, stood to defend the very last hopes of his people as they peerlessly peer forth into the icy eyeless sockets of the undead.  The World War had finally reached its looming end and The Old War Horse reached his hand toward the armrest of the Iron Throne.
