Eleven Heads:
Prologue
Earlier, I posted a story called A Game of Dragons. There are too many mistakes in that story, elaborated by its only reviewer. I also recognized other mistakes such as the title itself and the addition of original characters(OC) that I don't know how to do with it. The title is a mistake since it implies that a conflict is upcoming for the eleven siblings, ten of which is born at the start of the story. Should a conflict happen now, my objective won't be met.
In the canon, Queen Rhaella had been pregnant eleven times, seven children are born, three of them grew into adults, the rest died, and the other four were miscarriages and still births. Some fanfics have explored the idea of most of them surviving. Most of them did not have Princess Shaena. Those that did, either killed her too early or made her dumb to make way for Lyanna. I do want to see more fanfics which does not do either of those things to her.
I wanted to write a story in which all eleven pregnancies were successful and all of them grew into adults that would or would not grow into madness.
Unlike most fanfics and the canon, in this fanfic, there would be a Westerosi calendar created by King Aegon the Conqueror after his coronation at Oldtown. The calendar would have twelve months named after various houses. Each month would have two fortnights. The names of the months are as follows: Dragon(House Targaryen), Seahorse(House Velaryon), Fish (House Tully), Squid (House Greyjoy), Falcon (House Arryn), Stag (House Durrandon), Hand (House Gardener), Lion (House Lannister), Rose(House Tyrell), Wolf (House Stark), Tower (House Hightower) and Sun(House Martell).
One of the problems of the main series that it does not identify how exactly time is measured there. We don't know if they have the concept of months, or does the number of hours in a day in Westeros equate to the number of hours here. We also don't know how many months a year has in Westeros. I thought of making a calendar identical to the one we have irl so that we can specify events such as when exactly is one character's nameday. For example, Eddard Stark's date of birth(in this fanfic) is the fifth day of the Month of the Tower in the year 263 AL.
The fanfic would start at the month of the Falcon in the year 281 AL.
