Reign of Vorian II Dayne

The forty-fifth King of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and genre was King Vorian II Dayne, or HiddenBladed. King Vorian ruled from 303AB-308AB and was the first king of the Second Epoch and Rebirth Age. He was the fifth king that originated from House Dayne, following from King Beric I, King Beric II, King Vorian I, and King Arthur I. He became king after the War of the Eight Kings, and saw off rebel competition during the War of the Dragonstar.
King Vorian would have three Hands of the King: Lord Hand Jaime Lannister, Lord Hand Eddard Stark, and Lord Hand Tywin Lannister. He would be peacefully succeeded by his kin, who became known as King Arthur II Dayne, or JusticeBladed.
== War of the Eight Kings ==
The War of the Eight Kings saw Lord Jaime Lannister, or SSVEEE, beat Lord Rhaegar Targaryen, or IRhaegarITargaryenI, 5-4 during the Battle for King's Landing. The wars aftermath saw Lord Jaime yield the throne to House Dayne, paving the way for King Vorian II Dayne to take his place upon the Iron Throne.
However, as Dayne had lost 3-1 to Targaryen earlier in the war during the Battering by Summerhall, many saw King Vorian's position as weak and invalid. King Vorian acknowledged this, and pledged to beat the rebellious Lord Rhaegar, thus inciting the War of the Dragonstar. 
== The Seven Kingdoms Archives ==
During the War of Eight King, Balefulness launched the Seven Kingdom Archives. These archives were started with the intent to document the history of the genre from it's beginning, to it's end.
Alongside the announcement of the Archives, the Order of Maesters was also established, to be lead by Grand Maester dauntfulness. The Order's primary task would be to maintain the Archives. However, this project was never properly realised during his reign. 
Management of the Archives were subsequently transferred to Shintoura and Grand Maester Dylan, or dyllydyly.
== Laws ==
King Vorian initially appointed a member of his household, Ser Garrel Dayne, or Sevenstars, as Master of Laws. Ser Garrel's laws were standard, but his tenure in the position was short.
The king decided that his new Master of Laws would be decided by a public vote, with candidates putting themselves forward during a court. Lord Corlys Velaryon received the most votes, and was subsequently appointed as Master of Laws. Lord Corlys' appointment lead to a reform regarding laws, with a Lord Corlys' new Royal Legislature being comprehensive and detailed. Lord Corlys had also started to establish the Assemblies of the Realm. These were put in place to create a cohesive channel of communication between nobles, the people, and the crown authority regarding laws and legal processes. However, the project was never realised.
== Events ==
King Vorian wanted to make a conscious effort during his reign to improve the realm's community. Hence, he revived the Master of Events position on his Small Council. Lord Yohn Royce, or Shintoura would take the position, and he would work with the king to host roleplay-oriented events to rebuild the realm.
Ideas which were brought up and carried included tavern parties, King's Landing parades, noble picnics, religious masses, tournaments, purge events, feasts, hide and seeks and weddings. 
== Reformation of the Faith of the Seven ==
Under King Vorian's reign, plans were put in place for the Faith of the Seven to be reorganised and reformed under the guide of High Septon Benedict I (BlastyBladed). However, these reforms began in the latter stages of Vorian's reign. They were mainly completed during the reign of King Arthur, his successor.
== Foreign Affairs ==
King Vorian was supported by House Arryn, House Blackfyre, House Blackwood, House Clegane, House Corbray, House Dondarrion, House Hightower, House Lannister, House Martell, House Paege, House Peake, House Pemford, House Rambton, House Roan, House Royce, House Tallhart, House Tyrell, House Velaryon, House Volmark, House Willum, and House Yronwood.
King Vorian was officially at war with House Targaryen, House Manderly, House Greengood, House Rowan, House Grandison, House Harlaw, and House Tarly, in a war which came to be known as War of the Dragonstar.
Whilst an official declaration of war was not declared between House Dayne and House Egen, the two houses were hostile with Dayne backing Egen-enemy House Pemford, in a war which came to be known as the Clash of the Birds.

At the time of King Vorian's abdication, the Small Council included 13 members.

== War of the Dragonstar and Abdication ==
King Vorian had determined that the legitimacy and legacy of his reign would be determined by the outcome of his war with House Targaryen. Whilst the two houses had officially been in a state of war since 304AB, no fighting had taken place between Dayne and Targaryen. However, this would change in 308AB when Lord Rhaegar's grand fleet arrived at King's Landing and was convincingly defeated by King Vorian's army in a battle which would become known as the Great Siege, or Battle on the Blackwater Rush. 
Before the war, he realised his public image was tainted due to his earlier defeat by Targaryen. With King Vorian's army victorious and Lord Rhaegar's Targaryen extinct, King Vorian felt his public image, authority and legacy were secure. 
After achieving self-actualisation, King Vorian decided that his time had come. He formally abdicated the throne in favour of Arthur Dayne, who would become known as King Arthur II Dayne.
== Legacy ==
King Vorian II Dayne is remembered as a great and well-liked king, being a fundamental cornerstone of rebuilding the realm at the beginning of the Rebirth Era.

King Vorian is also remembered for his success against House Targaryen, which meant he was seen as the undisputed ruler of the realm.
