Second Dance of Dragons

Golden Company

## Prelude

As King Baelor's foothold in Westeros expanded, Aegon Targaryen
conquered most of the Stormlands. In response to this, Baelor had decided to form a temporary alliance
with the Westerlands and the Reach in order to defeat a their common enemy - the
'son' of the late Rhaegar Targaryen, Aegon.

King Baelor started this war not before securing the alliance with Lord Paramount Tywin Lannister who, some claimed, was the true power behind the Iron Throne until Baelor's conquest. King Baelor then made efforts to form an alliance with Lord Paramount Mace Tyrell. The two agreed to temporarily end the bloody war they were fighting with each other and form an alliance against Aegon and the Golden Company. This act in particular was praised by Baelor's and the Small Folk he ruled over.

A few days following his meeting with Lord Paramount Mace Tyrell, King Baelor decided it was high time to start the Second 'Dance of Dragons'. Under King Baelor's orders, his Hand, Lord Gaerion Doryerion, sent ravens informing all the lords and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms that House Brightflame had declared war upon House Targaryen. And thus began the Second 'Dance of Dragons'.

**Starting the war**

Baelor and his council decided to strike House Targaryen's stronghold in the Reach: the populous town of Tumbleton. Baelor quickly gathered his few vassals and their troops marched to Tumbleton: approximately 3,000 men strong - with Baelor himself leading a little more than 2,000. Tumbleton had a garrison of
slightly more than 2,000 men. Baelor has sieged the town twice; at first, in
the very short time house Brighflame struggled to inflict damage to the town's
walls, the allied forces of House Brightflame took heavy losses; and Baelor had
decided to retreat. King Baelor reached the conclusion that his vassals' armies
were not efficient enough to inflict damage to the enemies in Tumbleton; thus
he sent them to the village of Kingsway, where they waited for King Baelor's
return. As the second siege had begun, this time, led solely by King Baelor;
the enemies took much heavier losses and King Baelor managed to spare many
soldiers in his army, placing the highly-trained 'Dragon's Teeth' led by Garret
Longley in front of the walls; the skillful archers of the Dragon's Teeth
managed to inflict heavy damage to the enemy defenders, and as the arrows'
provisions began to ran dry and the Dragon's Teeth lines began to slowly run
thin, King Baelor ordered his vanguard and newly formed 'Dragon's Claw' to
charge; sending the bulk of his army and the strongest part of it against the
defenders, led by the commander Ser Jory Redwater. As the opposing infantry
clashed, a bloody battle had begun. Both sides took heavy losses, firstly it
was the 'Dragon's Claw' who took the heavier loss, but as they legendary
infantry continued to push forward, the defenders could not continue to hold
their lines much longer. As the 'Dragon's Claw' managed to climb the ladders
and defeat most of the defenders' lines on the walls, King Baelor, accompanied
by his brother, sister and Kingsguards had sent his cavalry to charge. The
defenders couldn't hope to overwhelm the force of House Brightflame, and not
long after the siege was over; and the town of Tumbleton had fallen to House
Brightflame.

**The Battle of The Weeping Town**

Not long after the siege of Tumbleton, Baelor had scouted the
Stormlands; now the lands of House Targaryen. When he approached 'The Weeping
Town', King Baelor willingly met with a 3,000 strong army led by the lords
Gorys Edoryen, Ser Denys Strong and Jon Connington respectively. King Baelor
opposed the allied forces with slightly less than 2,000 men. The battle started
with King Baelor ordering his cavalry to charge, meeting the enemy infantry and
archers first. Following his order for the cavalry, he had ordered the
infantry, the 'Dragon's Claw' to charge, again led by Ser Jory Redwater. The
battle was long, weary and bloody, yet House Brightflame had the upper hand
during the battle and emerged victorious once again. King Baelor had decided to
take Lord Jon Connington prisoner after they crushed the allied Targarynes'
armies.

**The Battle of Grassfield Keep**

 After the battle of The Weeping town, King Baelor had quickly
rebuilt his army, now standing 2,000 strong. He scouted the Stormlands and the
Reach, mainly House Targaryen's lands. King Baelor had decided to siege
'Grassfield Keep', a castle conquered by House Targaryen. As the King Baelor's
engineer began to build the siege tower, King Baelor's army was ambushed by
lord Gorys Edoryen's army. King Baelor had a larger army by almost 300 men,
though Gorys Edoryen fought him nevertheless. Lord Gorys declared that he is
anxious to fight him again after the battle of The Weeping Town. King Baelor
met with him on the field, charging the cavalry yet again. King Baelor held the
higher ground, positioning his men at the top of a hill and almost immediately
ordered his cavalry to charge. His cavalry forces were stopped by the enemy
infantry, who held their ground and stood in an efficient formation. King
Daeron then ordered his infantry, the 'Dragon's Claw' to charge. The 'Dragon's
Claw', again led by Ser Jory Redwater had easily defeated the enemy forces.
After a relatively short battle, King Baelor had emerged victorious yet again,
losing 260 men in comparison to the enemies' 1,000 dead men and another
(approximately) 700 injured.

**The Battle near Kingsway**

Scouting his lands, King Baelor met with Lord Jon Connington's army
near the village of Kingsway. Though injured, King Baelor had decided to clash
with the enemy army - standing 1,740 strong against Lord Jon Connington's army,
who stood at 1,670 strong. The battle started by ordering his 'Dragon's Claw'
to hold position near a line of trees in the battlefield. King Baelor has
ordered his cavalry forces to charge. After his cavalry successfully trimmed
the enemy numbers and King Daeron himself defeating Jon Connington in single
combat, Baelor ordered the 'Dragon's Claw' to charge and the battle was soon
over; house Brightflame emerging victorious once again. After the battle, it
was confirmed that Baelor had killed 21 men, and took Jon Connington prisoner
once again.

**The Siege of Storm's End**

Not long after the battle near Kingsway, Baelor had decided to siege
Storm's end. As he marched to the castle, Storm's End held a garrison of 1,260
men defending against Baelor's 1,700 men. King Baelor sieged the castle twice.
At the first attempt, he stationed his archers, the 'Dragon's Teeth' (led by
Garret Longley) in front of the castle walls. The 'Dragon's Teeth' did not seem
to inflict any critical damage and wasted plenty of their arrows attempting to
do so. At the second attempt, Baelor had placed his archers behind cover and
ordered his infantry, the 'Dragon's Claw' (led by Ser Jory Redwater) and the
vanguard to charge. As the 'Dragon's Claw' advanced to the walls, Baelor
ordered his 'Dragon's Teeth' to hold a line close to the ladders laid on the
walls. As the enemy line of defenders began to trim, Baelor, brother, sister,
companions and Kingsguard, climbed the walls and joined his loyal 'Dragon's
Claw' in their effort. The Brightflame men easily defeated the enemy defenders,
and as the enemy numbers began to dwell, Baelor sent his cavalry forces to aid
them in the fighting. After this successful attempt, the castle of Storm's End
fell to the possession of house Brightflame.

**The Siege of Griffin's Roost**

King Baelor had decided to siege the castle of Griffin's Roost not
long after the siege of 'Storm's End'. He had called his bannerman, Ser Titus
Harper, to aid him in the siege. Together, Baelor and Ser Titus led a combined
force of 2,000 men against the enemy's 1,300 stationed in the garrison of
Griffin's Roost. The siege started as Baelor decided to place his 'Dragon's
Teeth', led by Garret Longley, not far from the ladders. The archers did their
best to trim down the enemy defenders, and after their arrows' provisions ran dry;
Baelor decided to order his 'Dragon's Claw' and his vanguard to charge. As they
first climbed the walls, the vanguard and the 'Dragon's Claw' took a heavy
blow, though as they progressed they managed to restrain the enemy defenders.
King Baelor had decided to march to the walls, followed by his Kingsguard,
brother, sister and companions and aid his men in their effort. There, he and
his brother slew 4 men each. The 'Dragon's Claw's commander, Ser Jory; slew 7
men and survived the siege entirely; even killing the last defender standing.
For his actions, Baelor awarded him with a brand new armour and a distinguished
helm to mark his presence on the battlefield.

**The Siege of Stonehelm**

In the following weeks after the successful siege of 'Griffin's
Roost', Baelor decided to siege the castle of Stonehelm. A fleeing lord of
house Targaryen joined the garrison, providing another 960 men for the existing
1,370. King Baelor marched with 1,700 men in his army. At the beginning of the
siege, King Baelor ordered his 'Dragon's Teeth' to hold position far from the
ladders; as the castle had archers and other types of defenders at each side of
the walls, as the attackers are vulnerable to attacks from 3 different sides
(From their right, left and ahead of them). King Baelor ordered his 'Dragon's
Claw', led by Ser Jory Redwater and his vanguard to charge. As the hardened
infantry began to cut down the enemy defenders, Baelor, accompanied by his
Kingsguard, brother, sister and companions decided to aid his men in the fighting.
As the fighting raged on, Baelor ordered his cavalry forces to charge and thus
aid them in the fighting. The forces of house Brightflame quickly and
skillfully cut down the remaining defenders, and the battle was over quickly,
and thus another castle fell to King Baelor's hands.

**The Battle near Prawn's Bay**

King Baelor has advanced to scout house Targaryen's lands, leading
1,940 strong army (to be noted that only 1,740 were able to fight in the
following battle). He met the Targaryen vassal, Lord Balaq Sothoros; who, prior
to the battle, mentioned they have an advantage over Baelor, and that he offers
him to surrender (even though King Baelor led almost 400 more men than Balaq
Sothoros in that battle). In their discussion, Baelor inquired Balaq about his relationship
with Aegon Targaryen, his liege; to which Balaq replied - "King Aegon
Targaryen? Long may he live!". And thus both commanders entered the
battlefield. The battle started with both commanders assuming positions. King
Baelor ordered the 'Dragon's Teeth' (led by Garret Longley) to hold a hill and
fire at will at the enemy archers. Witnessing that the enemy commander had no
intention of moving his enemies, Baelor ordered his brother, sister and
companions to charge in order to provoke the enemy; then followed by a charge
of the cavalry forces of House Brightflame. It is to be noted that King Baelor
only ordered his cavalry to engage with the enemy forces, as only occasionally
the 'Dragon's Teeth' were able to rain arrows upon the enemy forces. It was
another victory for house Brightflame, a victory led only by the cavalry
forces.

**The Battle of Mistwood Keep**

Following his battle with Balaq Sothoros, Baelor had decided to
continue in his scoutings of the Targaryen's lands. He came across Ser Laswell
Peake; leading a 1,000 men strong army. As the two discussed prior to the
battle, Gorys Edoryen managed to accompany Ser Laswell and thus rival the 1,700
strong army of Baelor with their 1,900 men army. King Baelor had started the
battle assuming positions; he placed the 'Dragon's Teeth' at the top of a hill,
the infantry 'Dragon's Claw' behind them followed by the vanguard, and ordered
the cavalry forces to hold the valley next to the hill. In order to provoke the
enemy forces, Baelor ordered his brother, sister and companions to charge; a
charge most of them came back wounded from. Baelor then ordered the knights to
charge from the valley, leaving the 'Dragon's Teeth' ahead of the infantry -
vulnerable to enemy attacks. The cavalry managed to trim down the enemy
numbers, though many archers were attacked because Baelor did not notice the
formation and positions they held. As he realized his mistake, he charged to
aid his archers and ordered his infantry, led by Ser Jory Redwater to charge.
Baelor cut enemies to the best of his ability, and as his forces managed to
trim down and protect the archers, he ordered them to assume position together
and placed the archers on a relatively distant hill. As he approached his
'Dragon's Teeth', the already wounded Baelor suffered an arrow to the throat;
knocking him unconscious immediately. And thus he suffered his fifth wound. Not
long after, the battle was over and House Brightflame emerged victorious yet
again, though taking heavier losses than usual in that battle. After the
battle, Baelor ordered the imprisonment of Gorys Edoryen.

**The Battle of Griffin's Roost**

Following the fall of Griffin's Roost to the possession of House
Targaryen yet again, King Baelor decided it was time to strike them and reclaim
the castle. As he approached the castle, he spotted a 4,000 men strong army in
comparison to his 2,000 strong. The lords Ser Harry Strickland, Balaq Sothoros,
Ser Denys Strong, Ser Laswell Peake and Aegon Targaryen approached him as
Baelor knowingly met the massive force.

As both of the armies marched into the battlefield, Baelor ordered
his men to assume a position behind the trees, while the cavalry forces held
the first line of the force. Behind them were the infantry; the vanguard and
the 'Dragon's Claw' (led by Ser Jory Redwater). And behind them, and slightly
to their right stood the 'Dragon's Teeth', led by Garret Longely. As the enemy
cavalry forces charged, Baelor ordered his cavalry forces to charge. As his
knights charged, Baelor, followed by his Kingsguard charged as well, cutting
off enemies as they joined the fighting. At first, it seemed as if Baelor's
cavalry forces were superior; but as the fighting continued and even the
Kingsguard fell wounded, the Brightflame's cavalry began to take heavy losses
to the many cavalry and infantry forces of House Targaryen. As the fighting
raged on, King Baelor ordered his infantry to charge. The fighting continued
and waves of losses to both sides continued to occur, with King Baelor losing
most of his army mostly to the highly-trained 'Golden Company' soldiers. As the
battle drew closer to its end, the Brightflame men fought valiantly and managed
to fend off the enemy forces - until another wave of enemies attacked, to which
most of the Brightflame men fell wounded or dead. Baelor, as he approached the
enemy archers; realized his men will not win this battle and thus ordered to
retreat from the fighting. As he marched back to his lands, Baelor noted that
only 1,200 men remained in his army; most of them wounded.

**The Defence of Stonehelm**

King Baelor had summoned his vassals - Graznon zo Paton, Alen
Cargyll and Ser Titus Harper to aid him in the defence of Stonehelm; himself
leading 2,300 men strong army, and his vassals led another 2,260 men combined.
They met the attacking party of House Targaryen outside the castle. The 4,560
strong army House Brightflame led into battle clashed against the enemies'
combined army of 4,760 men.

The battle started as Baelor ordered all of his men to follow him.
As he reached a high ground, he ordered his cavalry and his infantry, vanguard
and 'Dragon's Claw' combined to hold positions on the hill; though relatively
far from his cavalry. He ordered the 'Dragon's Teeth' to hold positions
relatively far from the infantry and cavalry. Not long after, he ordered his
infantry and cavalry to charge. They met with the enemy cavalry and infantry,
mostly 'Golden Company' squires, knights and men-at-arms; highly trained
troops. House Brightflame suffered heavy losses from this clash, though most of
the troops who fell, fell unconscious. As a lot of his troops are falling,
Baelor quickly charges, accompanied by his Kingsguard, and cuts some enemies as
he goes. As more men continue to fall on the Brightflame side, Baelor orders
his archers to advance forward, his infantry to hold position and his cavalry
to hold positions next to the infantry (To be noted; King Baelor led the entire
combined force of House Brightflame). Even though he ordered his men to hold
positions, and his Kingsguard had fallen, Baelor rode alone against the enemy
forces; cutting off many of them as he rode. As Aegon Targaryen chased him,
Baelor managed to damage his horse at first; immediately then, after the
cavalry assumed positions, he ordered them to charge once again now that they have
managed to regroup. As the cavalry charges, cutting off many of the attacking
forces; Baelor managed to spot Aegon and unhorse him. As Baelor dismounted from
his horse, Aegon had seized the opportunity and performed an overhead strike
with his sword; giving Baelor his sixth wound. As Baelor fell, the Brightflame
army again suffered a heavy blow; the Targaryen forces trimming down their
numbers significantly. And thus, as their king lies unconscious in the mud; the
Brightflame lords decided to retreat from the battle. Thus, making it the
second time Baelor had lost to Aegon Targaryen in a field-battle.

However, Baelor had quickly regained consciousness and decided to
strike Aegon's army yet again; now leading a combined army of 3,370 men against
the enemy's 3,820. As soon as the Brightflame army arrived at the battlefield,
Baelor ordered his cavalry to charge, his infantry; now only the 'Dragon's
Claw' to charge and his archers to assume a position on a hill. The battle
started well for the Brightflame's forces: the Targaryens were overwhelmed by
the sudden charge and lost a significant amount of troops in the clash between
the armies. However, a new wave of Targaryen soldiers quickly arrived and they
managed to regroup and fend off the Brightflame soldiers; forcing them back
significantly. As soon as the battle began, the already-wounded Baelor, followed
by his wounded Kingsguard, charged at the enemy forces, cutting off enemies as
he rode. As they rode deep into the lines of the enemies, Ser James Lail fell
wounded by an infantryman. As the ensuing battle continued, and as Baelor stood
next to his 'Dragon's Teeth', Ser Richard Lick was wounded by a Targaryen
sergeant. The waves of Targaryen forces pushed the infantry and cavalry of
House Brightflame back, significantly approaching the 'Dragon's Teeth',
followed by deadly Targaryen longbowmen who efficiently rivalled the 'Dragon's
Teeth'. Baelor ordered his Dragon's teeth to hold a position at the top of the
relatively-flat hill, and his Dragon's claw at the bottom of the hill; to fend
off the many Targaryen attackers. The Brightflame cavalry continued to charge,
a significant number of them already unhorsed. As the 'Dragon's Teeth' (their
leader already wounded by now) struggled to hold their position and fend off
the Targaryen attackers, Baelor ordered the 'Dragon's Teeth' to advance
slightly; now only 20 paces away from the 'Dragon's Teeth'. Then he ordered the
'Dragon's Teeth' to move backwards, 40 paces at the very least; and he ordered
the 'Dragon's Claw' to move backwards, approximately 40 paces as well. As the
remaining cavalry and infantry of House Brightflame were rapidly getting cut
down, suddenly reinforcements arrived. An overwhelming wave of the 'Dragon's
Flame', house Brightflame's cavalry flanked the Targaryen attackers from their
right (right of the hill). Thus their enemy Targaryen's attackers' number began
to rapidly trim, and the almost-dead Baelor joined his 'Dragon's Teeth' in
their distant position on the top of the hill, as the 'Dragon's Teeth'
effectively rained down deadly arrows upon the massive Targaryen army. Slowly
but surely, the Targaryens were being defeated in the field, still inflicting
heavy damage on the Brightflame forces. As an act of desperation, Baelor
ordered all of his men to charge. And not long after, with Aegon now defeated;
the Brightflame men have finally emerged victorious; as the Brighftlame force
has defeated 3,800 men with only 3,200 men, most of them wounded. After the
battle, King Baelor took Balaq Sothoros prisoner once again.

**The Siege of Crow's Nest**

Not long after the defence of Stonehelm, King Baelor along with a
vassal marched to conquer the castle of 'Crow's Nest'. Their combined force
numbered approximately 2,400 men as opposed to the castle's garrison which
numbered 1,430 men (Approximately). As the Brightflame faced the city, Baelor
had a hard time finding the entrance; though he found a spot where he
positioned the 'Dragon's Teeth' in front of the walls - the highly trained
archers led by Garret Longley successfully trimmed down the enemy archers.
Baelor ordered the 'Dragon's Claw' to charge, led by Ser Jory Redwater, as he
positioned the 'Dragon's Flame' next to the ladders. The 'Dragon's Claw' was
brutally stopped by the defenders who managed to fend them off, which forced
Baelor the order his 'Dragon's Flame' to charge. After a while, Baelor ordered
the 'Dragon's Teeth' to follow him to the walls (along with his brother,
sister, companions and Kingsguard) and ordered them to use one-handed weapons.
As they climbed the ladders, the force managed to crush the defenders, with
King Baelor himself killing 4 men in that siege. The Brightflame men
successfully conquered the castle, killing 1,000 men in the process and
wounding another 430.

**The Second Siege of Griffin's Roost**

King Baelor marched along with a vassal to reclaim Griffin's Roost
from House Targaryen. The combined force of House Brightflame numbered 2,640
men strong as opposed to the garrison (along with Ser Denys Strong) which
numbered 2,070. King Baelor attempted to siege the castle 2 times in this
occasion; achieving his goal in the second attempt.

As they marched into the city gates, Baelor ordered his men to hold
a position in the far back; only the 'Dragon's Teeth' were ordered to hold
their positions near the bridge next to the ladder; facing the castle walls.
The 'Dragon's Teeth' managed to significantly trim down the defenders. After a
while of raining arrows upon the castle walls, the 'Dragon's Teeth' began to
receive heavy drops of the enemy archer's arrows, and thus Baelor ordered them
to move back; ordering the infantry, 'Dragon's Flame' to charge. While the
'Flame' managed to inflict some damage, they were met with a brutal force of
defenders who managed to fend off most of them. As the knights were being
pushed off, Baelor ordered the Dragon's Claw, led by Ser Jory Redwater to
charge. The infantry force was not able to deflect the defenders, thus Baelor
had ordered them to retreat from the battle.

In the second attempt, Baelor used the same strategy. He placed the
'Dragon's Teeth', led by Garret Longely in front of the castle walls; and they
were successful yet again in trimming down the enemy numbers. This time, Baelor
realized that the best tactic against this castle's defenders is to defeat the
defenders by placing the archers next to the castle walls. Holding a massive
force of archers in the combined army, the Brightflame men managed to inflict
massive damage to the defenders; to the point where their only hope to stop the
Brightflame archers is to charge their men at them; to which Baelor responded
with sending the bulk of his army against them, while sending the archers to a
safer position behind the men. This way, the Brighflames managed to reclaim
'Griffin's Roost' from the Targaryens. The Brightflames lost only a few dozens
while the Targaryens lost 1,300 men to death.

**The Siege of Rain House**

King Baelor decided to siege the castle of Rain House immediately
after he besieged 'Griffin's Roost'. He summoned his banners and together they
marched to the castle of Aegon Targaryen. Rain house numbered 1,600 men in the
garrison while Aegon Targaryen provided another 1,590 men to the garrison (To
be noted that 1,580 of them were able to fight) thus stationing 3,190 men in
the garrison. The Brightflame combined army (Led by Baelor) numbered close to
3,000 men. The Brightflame army laid siege to the town twice; only achieving
victory in the second time.

As they laid the siege tower next to the city walls, the Brightflame
men held position far from the castle walls. King Baelor ordered the archers to
stay close to the moving siege tower, thus effectively shortening the distance
between the defenders and the attackers and managing to inflict damage to the
defenders stationed on the castle walls. The Kingsguard, accompanied by a
Stonehlem knights pushed the tower forward. The 'Dragon's Teeth' held their
position next to the siege tower a while longer, until they ran out of arrows;
and when they did, Baelor ordered the 'Dragon's Claw' to charge, led by Ser
Jory Redwater. Slightly after the Dragon's Claw landed on the walls, Baelor
ordered the 'Dragon's Flame' to charge as well, while he kept his position next
to the siege tower. After a significant amount of Brightflame attackers were
wounded, Baelor ordered them to retreat. Immediately after besieging Rain
House, Baelor spotted that no lord is aiding the garrison of the Weeping town
and decided to besiege the town.

**The Siege of The Weeping Town**

As the Brightflame men laid a siege to the town, whose garrison
numbered 2,060 men as opposed to the Brightflame combined army who numbered
close to 3,000 men landed at the gates of the town, Baelor ordered his
'Dragon's Teeth', led by Garret Longley, to hold a position near the castle
walls; facing exactly at the enemy defenders. The 'Dragon's Teeth' suffered
several losses, though still maintaining to inflict some damage to the
defenders. Baelor ordered a retreat not long after as he noted that many
archers are taking damage.

In the second try, he placed his archers slightly closer to the
town's walls. Not long after, he had ordered his 'Dragon's Claw', led by Ser
Jory Redwater to charge. Shortly after that, he ordered the 'Dragon's Flame' to
charge as well. After a long and a bloody battle, The Weeping Town has fallen
to House Brightflame. King Baelor lost 70 men to death from his personal army
and 160 were wounded. His vassals lost 230 men to death and another 640 were
wounded. The Targaryen forces lost 1,570 to death and another 190 were wounded.

**The Battle near The Weeping Town**

As Baelor was on his way to negotiate with Aegon Targaryen after the siege
of The Weeping Town, he approached Marq Mandrake, a vassal of Aegon Targaryen.
King Baelor and Marq discussed kings and mainly Aegon Targaryen as a liege. Baelor decided to attack Marq Mandrake on the field and thus enter a battle. King Baelor led 1,860 men to battle while Marq Mandrake led 1,060 men.

The battle started with Baelor leading his men and Maq holding position on a hill. Baelor ordered his cavalry, the 'Dragon's Flame' to follow him (as well as his Kingsguard, brother, sister and companions) while he ordered the 'Dragon's Teeth' (led by Garret Longely) to hold the top of a hill and hold their fire and the 'Dragon's Claw' (led by Ser Jory Redwater) to hold to bottom of that very hill. Shortly after, he sent his companions, brother and sister (House Brightflame in short) to charge in order to poke the enemy to charge. His plan worked and the enemies charged, and as a response to that, King Baelor ordered his 'Dragon's Flame' to fire at will and the 'Dragon's Flame' to attack the incoming wave of enemies who were stopped mostly by the 'Dragon's Claw' and the 'Dragon's Flame'. After the Brightflame army successfully fended off the enemy wave of cavalry and infantry, taking minimal losses, Baelor ordered his cavalry and infantry to charge in order to attack the line of archers who held a hill in front of the hill the 'Dragon's Teeth' held. The battle was quickly over with a Brightflame victory. Only 50 men of Baelor's personal army wounded, 120 men of the Brightflame vassal's armies dead and another 150 men wounded. In Marq's army, 880 men have fallen to death, another 150 wounded and 10 men routed. King Baelor ordered the imprisonment of Marq Mandrake after the battle.

**The Battle near Mistwood**

Shortly after the battle near The Weeping Town, Baelor spotted Ser Laswell Peake and attacked him near the castle of Mistwood. Baelor led only his personal army, 1410 men, against Ser Laswell Peake's 1,100.

The battle started with Laswell Peake ordering his men to hold a position on a hill, followed by Baelor's order for his men to hold their positions on the hill in front of the Targaryen's hill. He ordered the 'Dragon's Teeth' led by Garret Longley to hold the top of the hill, ordered the 'Dragon's Flame' to hold the hill to their right and the 'Dragon's Claw' led by Ser Jory Redwater to hold the bottom of the hill where the 'Dragon's Teeth's men were stationed. He moved the 'Dragon's Flame' back and forth along the battlefield until finally the enemy infantry were provoked and charged them. Shortly after, Baelor ordered the 'Dragon's Flame' to attack the enemy archers and ordered the 'Dragon's Claw' to attack the enemy cavalry forces. Shortly after, witnessing the loss of men on his side, Baelor sent the 'Dragon's Flame' charge at the enemy, regardless of their division. Not much later, he sent the 'Dragon's Claw' to do the same and the battle was soon over, as this tactic seemed to work; the Brightflame forces received very minimal casualties. It is unknown how many of Baelor's soldiers were wounded, though it is confirmed that he lost 30 men. It is unknown how many men Ser Laswell Peake had lost, though certainly more than Baelor, as Baelor won the fight. After the fight, Baelor awarded Ser Jory Redwater, the leader of the 'Dragon's Claw' with a masterwork arming sword. Additionally, Aegon Targaryen offered Baelor Brightflame a sum of 3,200 silver stags for the release of Balaq Sothoros. King Baelor rejected the offer, angering the Targaryen lords further.

**The 'Peaceful Storm'**

King Baelor discussed forming a peace-agreement with House Targaryen with his hand, Ser Gaerion Doryerion. King Baelor decided to negotiate the treaty with Aegon Targaryen, the head of house Targaryen. King Baelor sent his Kingsguard, Ser James Lail 'The Songbird' to present Aegon Targaryen with house Brightflame's offer. After several days, Ser James Lail returned with a positive answer; '. . . I'd say Aegon Targaryen is at war on too many fronts and is eager to make peace with you, your grace'. And thus the two dragons have made peace. An agreement that lasted nearly two months (from the 16th day of the fifth turn until the 9th day of the seventh turn).

**The Battle near Rain House**

King Baelor rode, along with 4 of his vassals to battle with Ser Denys Strong near the castle of Rain House. The Brightflame combined army numbered 2,360 strong in comparison to Ser Denys' which numbered 660 strong. King Baelor decided to face Ser Denys and thus ended the peace between the two 'dragons'.

The Battle started with Baelor ordering the army to hold a hill where he stationed the 'Dragon's Teeth' at the top and the 'Dragon's Claw' at the bottom. The 'Dragon's Flame' men were ordered to hold their position next to the archers. The enemy army immediately charged their cavalry and infantry, though were effectively stopped by the archers, infantry and cavalry of the Brightflame army. Baelor ordered his 'Dragon's Claw', led by Ser Jory Redwater to attack the cavalry force and ordered the Dragon's Flame, not long after to charge, noticing that the 'Dragon's Claw' easily defeated the enemy wave. Shortly after the battle was over with another victory to house Brightflame.
