Princess Shaera's Nameday Feast

*"They… Ser Duncan said… he said there’d been a raven from King’s Landing this afternoon… Prince Duncan… he’s… he…"*

- **Lady Jocelyn Baratheon** to Lord Lyonel Baratheon about the truth of Prince Duncan Targaryen.

**Princess Shaera's Nameday Feast** was an event that took place for the celebration of Princess Shaera Targaryen turning 16 years of age. Lords and ladies from all over the realm came to Summerhall to celebrate and participate in a tournament in her honour. However, the celebration kicked off the starting events for the infamous Laughing Storm's Rebellion.

## The Event

### Tournaments

As the event kicked off in usual celebration, a number of tournaments were held in the honour of Princess Shaera Targaryen. These were the infamous Joust, Melee, Archery and Squire Tournaments. A notable upset that occurred was when Ser Lorence Roxton and Ser Florian Hightower both fell off their horses at the same time, creating a divide on who should of won. The judge eventually gave Ser Florian Hightower the win. The winners of these events are:

* Ser Quentyn Storm of the King's Guard won the Joust.
* Ser Florian Hightower won the Melee.
* Ser Lonnel Everthird won the Archery.
* Squire Jason Lannister won the Squire Tournament.

In Jason Lannister's victory, King Aegon V Targaryen and Ser Duncan the Tall offered to knight Jason Lannister, however Jason choose Lord Lyonel Baratheon to knight him instead.

### Artos Stark's Outburst

On the evening of the second day, a feast was being celebrated after the finalising of the joust tournament. Artos Stark, uncle to the Lord Edwyle Stark, approached the table of King Aegon V Targaryen, asking for a loan to deal with the pirates on the western coast of the North, being lead by Brandon Snow 'The Black-Heart'. However, instead of asking at a reasonable manner, Artos got the entire hall's attention, so all the lords and ladies of the realm can witness their conversation. Pushing Aegon V Targaryen into a corner where he couldn't deny a help of one of his vassals. Aegon reluctantly agreed to give him 15,000 gold with a 5000 interest but couldn't spare ships of the Royal Fleet, as long as Artos Stark never manipulates House Targaryen in public again. Artos, enraged by his words in front of the lords and ladies of the realm, claimed he was wronged and claimed King Aegon has turned his back on the north and that he is a tyrant. He then stormed out of the hall.

King Aegon then followed through with this act of betray by order the arrest of Artos Stark. Artos, managed to flee from arrest and escape Summerhall. This in turned caused a pursuit on Artos Stark by Ser Lucifer Hardy, Ser William Arryn and Ser Clarence Crabb of the King's Guard. They eventually managed to catch up to Aros Stark and his guardsmen, where Ser Clarence Crabb duel Artos Stark. Ser Quentyn Storm caught up to Clarence and helped him subdue Artos and his guardsmen. He is then later brought back and put under house arrest.

### The Calm before the Storm

On the evening of the third day, after the events of Artos Stark, a feast was being celebrated for the actual name day of Princess Shaera Targaryen and for the archery, melee and squire tournaments. As the evening celebrations continue, rumours started circling that a major royal figure is already married to a commoner. The famous 'Laughing Storm', Lord Lyonel Baratheon starts to notice more and more people staring at him and sees whispering amongst the lords and ladies. Eventually Lady Jocelyn Baratheon, his niece, tells Lyonel about the circling rumours that Prince Duncan Targaryen has married a commoner that she overheard from the King's Guard who were talking about it. King Aegon V Targaryen has only been informed of the rumours earlier that day that the rumours were true but he has not yet told anyone.

Lyonel Baratheon in a quiet and calm manner, walks up to the Kings table and questions if the rumours are true. Aegon responds confused and acts like he has no idea what he is talking about. Lyonel asks again to the response that Aegon admits the truth of the incident. The hall goes silent and Aegon tries to persuade Lyonel to come with him to King's Landing to resolve the situation. Without a word, Lyonel turns and leaves the hall, his bannermen followed. Once they left the hall erupts into chaos, Gerold Lannister then leads his bannermen out of the hall as well. This in turn is followed by everyone else. The guests start pouring out of Summerhall, leaving in the evening or early in the morning.
