I liked League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! On a side note, my terrible luck with laptops continues and another one crapped out on me. Don't expect me on chat for a while.

Character's Name: Ser Oberyn of House Yronwood In the year 367 after Aegon's Landing, Queen Faylynn Baratheon, who was the youngest sister of Prince Hector Martell of Sunspear, was killed mysteriously in Storm's End and no explanation was given by her husband, the King. The Prince of Dorne called his banners, and the passes filled with spears and men. Every lord in Dorne contributed troops to the army, led by the brilliant Lord Bryce Dayne of Starfall. Lord Cletus marched with 3,500 of Yronwood's best men, joining the other lords in the Prince's Pass, and pushing deep into the Kingsland. The Dornish army in the west achieved its aims, and seized Nightsong, but while the lords fought the forces of the Kingslanders in the west, another army marched down the Stone Way after sacking Castle Wyl at its northern entrance. Eight thousand Kingslanders marched down the pass with no warning preceding them, practically appearing out of thin air outside the walls of Yronwood, where Ser Oberyn, at five and thirty, commanded the garrison of 1,500. Yronwood is a formidable fortress, built at the point where the mountain pass narrows to a few hundred yards before the mountains drop away into the rolling hills of northwestern Dorne. It is nearly impossible to enter the Stone Way from either direction, without passing through Yronwood's black iron gates, there being an incredibly treacherous path around the east side of the fortress, which Yronwoods over the years have rigged with pitfalls and traps to prevent it from being traversed. However the closest harbor to Yronwood is accessed by a mountain road on the north side of the fortress, and thus when the defenders awoke to find an army at the north gate, they were already cut off from the major route of supply; few traders wanted to travel overland across the sandy wastes to the south. Leading the enemy army was the Lord of Blackhaven, and many other stormlords besides, and the first assault came three days after their arrival, when Ser Oberyn declined the offer of surrender. Catapults throwing fire, ladders and grapnels and a ram against the walls, but they were forced back after fierce fighting and losses to both sides; two of Ser Oberyn's brothers were slain in battle, when they led a counter attack out of a sally port to try and destroy the ram battering at the gates. They succeeded in setting the machine on fire, but Oberyn watched from the gatehouse with horror, as a 16 year old boy wearing the purple lighting on black of House Dondarrion cut them both down with a massive axe. Their spears dealt him several wounds but they both fell all the same, and the battle settled into a siege. Minimal resources could be imported from the south, and slowly the garrison went through the food in the castle. After six months of repulsing an assault every three or four weeks, they were eating the few horses that remained and by seven months there was not an animal left in the castle. When the army flying the Sun and Spear of the Martells arrived at the south gate one night, half the garrison was dead and those remaining could barely fight from hunger. The next morning, however, they all charged out the north gate, routing the Kingslanders and harrying them up the pass until word came in that peace had been made between Storm's End and Sunspear. A tenuous peace, at least, with gains for the Dornish but the threat of an invasion from the Reach to the west checked their advance and they settled for Nightsong as the only conquest of the war. Character Name: Robert Dondarrion Years past and the relationship with the Dorne faltered having issues with eventually fighting his mothers people he was still a subject to Lord Baratheon and prepared for an attack. Years passed and eventually war broke out in the Dorne and Robered marched down the Boneway and met the Forces of House Yronwood at the gates of Yronwood itself. An epic battle of proportions as they battered the walls of the boneway expecting renforcements from the Kingland, even being able to kill many of house Yronwoon including two of the brothers, they were reinforced by the forces of House Martell and this causing Robert and any other house with him to retreat as the forces of the Kingsland had not arrived yet. Upon his return to Blackhaven he had heard the Dornish had attacked the keep of Nightsong and overtook it. He was about to move his forces to retaliate however was advised by the Hand of the King that it would not be wise and held back going to speak with the King on what to do next. Dondarrion, I just kinda wanted to point out that this battle wasn't quite a draw, as you depict it in your history. Your army was 8,000 men against my 1,500 man garrison, and we held out for 7 months till reinforcements showed up. Neither of us really mentioned Stormlander casualties, but you have to assume there were a good number of them in a 7-month siege, with assaults on the walls and men dying to the elements and whatnot; it's not like you can really live off the land in the Red Mountains. I lost like 750 men, but Stormlander losses must have been 2 or 3 times as many, right?
