Westeros is united. The year is 189 after the Conquest. Nearly two centuries have passed since the Empire was founded on the shores of the Trident. From the outset, it was a work of strength and war, born of the union of the last of the Targaryens - the young Rhaenys, the unfortunate sibling murdered by Harren the Black - and Torrhen Stark, the old Wolf of Winterfell. Forced to join forces to survive the Era of Struggle, when the kingdoms all fought for supremacy, they carried their banner of the Wolf and the Dragon onto every battlefield. Surrounded, they fought everywhere against the old monarchies of the world, united and driven by a breath of religious fanaticism that set the entire continent ablaze. This new line, named Braenaryon by its founders, soon had a hegemonic and unifying vision for the whole of Westeros. The imperial capital was founded on ancient Salins and the Isle of Repose, at the mouth of the Trident in the Narrow Sea. Named Fort-Darion, the city soon embodied the raw ideals of the Empire, built by the efforts of craftsmen and engineers from all the federated peoples. But the war continued.
