Author's Note: Hello all!
So, as you might have guessed by the title, this story is a sequel to and will take place 18 years after my previous work, The Dragon of Duskendale, and will focus on the descendants of the main character of that story, Aelor Targaryen. If you haven't read that and have no clue who the hell I'm talking about, I suggest you go check it out first, or you'll be terribly lost. As with my other uncompleted story on this site, Two Diamonds and a Stone (shameless self-promotion), this is more for my enjoyment; while I did enjoy writing the Dragon of Duskendale, I got caught up in the desire to update as frequently as possible, and nearly burnt out. This will be much more laid back, and hopefully each chapter will have a high quality since I'm not rushing.
Shoutout to Psykic Ninja, who wrote an excellent story on the Game of Thrones archive (A Game of Vengeance and Justice) and who is in the process of posting a similar, several-years-after-the-end sequel of sorts. They were more than generous about lending their format when I reached out to them, and I suggest you all go give their work a read!
This first posting is just a character index to give you an idea of the new players in this game. Whenever you see the word "issue" after a characters name, it means they have children even though they aren't listed in the index. Some of those children may pop up in this story, and you will be told of their identity's then.
As you can probably see, a chapter of actual story content was uploaded simultaneously to this index. Cheers!
