The Seelie Queen

Shadowhunter World
2007, Faerieland, The Seelie Court

The Faerieland, sometimes referred to as Faerie, the land under the hill, or the Undying Lands, is the underground abode, palace or city dwelling of the faeries. It can be considered the Shadowhunter World’s version of the Faewilds; though since the Feywilds span all worlds and universes it is more accurate to say it is merely another part of the Feywilds 

Faerieland is m...

Life Moves On

PJO World
The Winter Realm, The Winter Fort

Flying with Caraxes has always been liberating and empowering to Aemon, it is easy to see why his dragon riding ancestors believed themselves above even gods. However, while the experience has always been thrilling, Caraxes has never been the fastest of dragons. Nimble, agile, and ferocious are the Blood Wyrm’s greatest characteristics, not speed. It is why Vhagar was so grievously injured by Caraxes as to die first and w...

In the Shadows

PJO World
The Winter Realm, The Winter Fort

The rally in the throne room had empowered and emboldened Aemon’s loyalist before their spirits were quickly dampened with the subsequent news of his plans; the Winter Fort is to be abandoned and Dragonstone in the world of Paradis shall serve as their home while also serving as where the Unseelie Court shall be convened from henceforth. Understandably many of his commanders and knights were upset at the news while the mo...

The words on the screen, meant to celebrate his triumph, do nothing to excite Aemon as he stares at them. 16,600 CP in total now and Aemon cares n...

Part of a Whole

???

The oppressive blackness pushed down on Jon like a blanket, heavy and warm, with the force of a living thing. It seemed to be trying to press itself inside his body, choking him as it slid down his throat, into his nostrils, plugging up his ears so he could hear almost nothing. 

You need to open your eyes, said a voice. 

Jon blinked, but he saw only darkness.  

“My eyes are open,” he told the voice, reaching out in ...

Interlude

Planetos, The Stepstones
107 AC

The War for the Stepstones. When Prince Daemon and Lord Corlys Velaryon had announced their intention to war against the pirates squatting over that chain of islands many had thought it to be a long, arduous war to be fought over the course of many years; after all, despite what the forces stationed there are called it is an open secret that they are supported by the Triarchy, an alliance of the Free Cities of Myr, Lys and Ty...

Conqueror's Presence

PJO World
The Winter Realm, The Winter Fort

The scent of burnt flesh permeates the cold night air of The White Forest as the sky is awash in the crimson red of Messmer’s flame. Around him lies naught but ash as the majestic forest that once spanned much of The Winter Court and House Cumhail’s territory has been burned down in Aemon’s battle against the titanic white winged serpent that was once Messmer. 

Aemon has not fared well since Messmer’s tra...

Messmer the Impaler

PJO World
The Winter Realm, The Winter Fort

Messmer, a polarizing figure within the Unseelie Court. Equal parts beloved for his cunning and power, and equal parts despised for his fanatical loyalty to Queen Mab. Even amongst Queen Mab’s ardent supporters, many found his blind support of her worrying at best and a danger to the Court at worst. Others found him to be the physical embodiment of Court’s values, cunning, powerful, brave and not lacking in ambition. We...

Messmer

The Winter Realm, The Winter Fort

When he comes to it is to a ringing in his ears, a blurry vision, and a swelling ache that is sure to become the darkest of bruises. 

With a groan that is muffled to his ears, Aemon raises himself to his knees before slowly standing to his feet. Despite the world swaying around him Aemon is able to right himself on his feet, and with his now clear vision make out the massive shape before him that destroys his for...

A Farce

PJO World
The Winter Realm, The Winter Fort

House Lucaria, a noble house that rivals House Cumhail in terms of power and prestige. Though House Cumhail boasts of fielding some of the greatest knights among those of the Unseelie Court, House Lucaria is without a shadow of a doubt the one with the greatest magical knights of the entire Unseelie Court. 

Being the greatest pioneers of magic amongst the Unseelie Court, House Lucaria founded the Raya Lucaria Aca...

Prelude to War

The Winter Realm, The Winter Fort
The Dragon Necropolis

The sound of battle coming from Albion’s cavern echoes throughout the necropolis, drowning out all other sounds within The Winter Fort and alerting those above. The commanders have long been warned of this however and as such were prepared to calm their subordinates. 

In the brief chaos however Jennifer was able to track Aemon down to the necropolis where he awaits the outcome, his hand...

Dragon Communion

PJO World
The Winter Realm, The White Forest

The White Forest, a forest aptly named for its massive white trees and leaves, a forest devoid of all colors save white, a vast forest spanning much of the Winter Court’s territory and at least half of House Cumhail’s territory. 

Normally the border of House Cumhail’s lands within The White Forest would be tightly guarded for fear of invasion from the other houses and especially The Winter Court, however, ...

Planning

AOT World
Dragonstone

The passageways of the island’s volcano have noticeably expanded since Aemon’s last visit. The previous passages which were once big enough to allow any of the dragons to pass through unobstructed has at the very least doubled in size. 

Aemon knows that this must not be a recent occurrence, however he usually does not venture into this part of the island, preferring to leave the dragons to their lair. Even on his daily morning vis...

The Realm of Winter

There is something to be said of the unchecked arrogance and ambition of self-assured idiots, Aemon thinks to himself. Whether mundane or supernatural, their actions always negatively impact those around them and even long after their deaths the repercussions of said actions still echo out. 

Queen Mab’s over ambitious children understood well the requirements to ascend her throne and despite not meeting the required standard...

Ascension

PJO World
The Realm of Winter

The pain caused by the Winter Crown as it rests upon his brow is one Aemon has never experienced before. Not even as a slave or when he held the sky has he ever experienced such torment, for it is not merely pain of the body but a metaphysical pain that reaches the very depths of his spirit. 

For wrought iron that has yet to be heated and shaped is toxic to all faeries. The knowledge of why and how has long been lost and not e...

The Unseelie King

PJO World
The Realm of Winter

The knowledge of one who has lived as long as Queen Mab is numerous beyond Aemon’s already vast expectations, for she has lived for thousands of years and as such has accumulated much that needs to be imparted. 

Aemon expected the process to be painful, yet contrary to his expectations it is a painless yet not comfortable process. Similar to his integration of Dane Whitman’s knowledge and skills, Aemon finds that the bulk ...

The Plot Thickens

The Realm of Winter, Before the Winter Throne

The chill that travels down Aemon’s spine upon hearing those words is one that seems to shake the Winter Realm to its very core.

“What the fuck did you just say?!” snarls Aemon, repeating his question to the Other once more.

“The Great Other cannot die for he has tied his very existence to the very realm of our people, the very realm you call the Heart of Winter.” replies the Other.  2024-04-29 09:12:08 +0000 UTC View Post

The Blade of Miquela

PJO World
The Realm of Winter, Before the Winter Throne

Fast. That is Aemon’s first thought upon finding Malenia’s blade inches from his throat. Malenia is the fastest foe Aemon has ever faced, and as a warrior who prides himself on his speed it is a novelty for him to come upon a warrior whose speed matches his own. 

Drawing Longclaw Aemon blocks the slash, his eyes widening when the power behind the attack craters the ground beneath his feet and the ...

The Winter Realm

Location: ???

In the heart of the ancient forest, where time seems to stand still and whispers of forgotten tales echo through the trees, lies the decaying realm of the Winter Court. Once a place of unparalleled, yet harsh, beauty and magic, it has now succumbed to the ravages of time, neglect, and the consequences of humanity’s transgressions against nature.

The landscape is a patchwork of contrasts, where snow-laden boughs intertwine with skeletal...

She dreams of him this night, her lover. Young and beautiful even as his face remains a shifting shadow that melds with the rest of his powerful body. Still, it does not matter for she would always recognise that lone amethyst eye and the shape of his face framed by long flowing hair.

His firm hands gently cup her face, caressing her on the cheek before guiding her to a ki...
