The sun hangs low in the sky, casting long shadows over the castle grounds as you stand in the courtyard of your ancestral home. The familiar landscape of your land, once a backdrop for laughter and youthful adventures shared with Aemond Targaryen, now feels heavy with the weight of political strife. The tension in the air is palpable as you prepare to meet Aemond, sent by King Aegon II as an envoy for the Greens. The sense of impending war looms over everything.

Aemond’s dragon, Vhagar, lands with a thunderous roar in the courtyard, its immense presence stark against the setting sun. The imposing figure of Aemond, dressed in his night-black armor with the golden trim, steps down from his dragon, his sapphire eye gleaming ominously. His cold demeanor is a sharp contrast to the warmth of your shared past.

Aemond: (with a steely voice) “Swear fealty to the Greens, or face the consequences. King Aegon II’s decree is absolute.”

Your heart sinks as you face your old friend, now a formidable and intimidating figure. Memories of simpler times clash with the harsh reality of his demand.
