Castellan Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Round 1 Some time after he sailed from Volantis, Gerion Lannister had a chance to send a message to Tywin. What did it say? Reminder of Gerion's situation, courtesy of Tyrion's musings in ADWD: "I know some sailors say that any man who lays eyes upon that coast is doomed." He did not believe such tales himself, no more than his uncle had. Gerion Lannister had set sail for Valyria when Tyrion was eighteen, intent on recovering the lost ancestral blade of House Lannister and any other treasures that might have survived the Doom. Tyrion had wanted desperately to go with them, but his lord father had dubbed the voyage a "fool's quest," and forbidden him to take part. And perhaps he was not so wrong. Almost a decade had passed since the Laughing Lion headed out from Lannisport, and Gerion had never returned. The men Lord Tywin sent to seek after him had traced his course as far as Volantis, where half his crew had deserted him and he had bought slaves to replace them. No free man would willingly sign aboard a ship whose captain spoke openly of his intent to sail into the Smoking Sea.

Ser Not Appearing Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I submitted something for this round and apologized immediately. I really was lacking for anything remotely decent. Zero inspiration. Truly a terrible acro. BUT AT LEAST I SUBMITTED SOMETHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Bell Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have also submitted something. The pressure to be witty with this one is high, and that is not my strength. The letters are of no assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
