Night's King

"*He hated them—the Starks of Winterfell, the free folk, and the Night's Watch—for what he perceived they did to him. They took away the only things that mattered to him and drove him out of his home in doing so. Now he is one of them and his name is forbidden to be spoken in the North, even by we maesters. And, perhaps, that is for the best. Because, whoever he was, he is no longer. Now, he is only Night's King.*"
―Unknown maester
**Night's King**, alternatively known as the **Night King**, was a male Other, the leader of his species, the ruler of the Land of Always Winter, and the commander of the army of the dead. In the faith of R'hllor, he was known as **The Great Other**, one of two gods and the god of evil, death, and cold, eternally opposite R'hllor, the god of fire and shadow. The two deities were said to be constantly in conflict with one another to decide the fate of the world. As a powerful necromancer, Night's King was one of the faces of Death to the Faceless Men.

In reality, this male Other was only the **second Night's King**, having succeeded the first Night's King as the malevolent leader of the Others sometime following the Long Night. He was originally human male, one of the First Men, named **Brandon Stark** and was among the earliest members of House Stark and, ironically, the Night's Watch. Legend tells that he sought out the Others in hopes of using their necromancy to resurrect the love he had lost at the hands of his brothers in the Night's Watch but returned and claimed the Nightfort as his seat. The Night's Watch joined together with the King-beyond-the-Wall and the King of Winter to drive him out of the Nightfort and back beyond the wall, where he was fully turned into a white walker and became their leader. Afterwards, he was regarded as a mere myth by the realms of Westeros.

## Personality and traits

As a human, Brandon Stark was rough around the edges, but ultimately a kind man who was loyal to his family above all. But, as was common of Men, love made him fall, and he saw his exile to the Wall as betrayal from his family, which drove him to seek out the Others and their dark magic. His exile made him cruel, displayed in his sadistic rule over the Nightfort. These sadistic traits were magnified upon his transformation into an Other.

As Night's King, he was not only cruel and sadistic, but also mute. He did not speak and was singularly motivated by hatred and revenge. He despised all of House Stark, as well as the free folk and the Night's Watch who aided House Stark in exiling him beyond the Wall. Because of what he saw as betrayal-upon-betrayal, Night's King was tireless in pursuit of his destruction of the free folk and the Northmen.

Night's King donned a black armor, much like the rest of his species, and wielded a crystalline falx when entering combat.

## Trivia

* This fanon incarnation of Night's King is an amalgamation of Night's King and the "Great Other" from *A Song of Ice and Fire*, as well as the Night King from HBO's *Game of Thrones* television series.

Dragonflame

**Dragonflame** (*Dracarys* in High Valyrian), also known as **dragonfire** or **dragon fire**, was a type of magical fire conjured and breathed by dragons. Dragons breathed flames the same color as their scales (i.e., Balerion breathed black flames). Dragonflame grew stronger as the dragon aged. Newborn dragons could set straw aflame with their breath, while full-grown dragons could melt stone and steel with their flames. It was also used in the production of Valyrian steel.

Ella

**Ella** (エラ *Era*) is Rozemyne’s personal chef whom she trained at the temple. She is married to Rozemyne’s other chef, Hugo.

# Personality

Ella has a matter-of-fact, cheerful personality. In spite of her difficult circumstances, she looks for constructive and practical ways to improve her future. An ambitious chef, Ella loves her job and works hard to improve her cooking skills.

# History

Ella's father died when she was young, and her mother was forced to become a prostitute to make ends meet. Growing up, Ella found work as an apprentice chef in her uncle's night-time bar. However, her uncle was a cruel, callous man who hired out his own daughter, Lea, to serve as a "waitress" and visit paying male clients in their rooms.

Ella believed that the same thing would happen to her when she came of age, so she was eager to find anywhere else to work -- especially if she could find work as a chef. When her uncle sent her to ask for an extension on the bar's taxes from the Eatery Guild, she encountered Benno talking about how hard it was to find a chef who was willing to work in the temple.

While Ella had heard unsavory rumors about the temple, she reasoned that it couldn't possibly be worse than working for her uncle. She persuaded Benno to let her take the job. Her uncle protested, but her mother supported her, happy to see that her daughter was finding a new path through life. Ella signed a contract with the Gilberta Company at the Eatery Guild. That was also where she met Hugo for the first time.

# Trivia

* Her hands are covered with calluses due to her passion for cooking.
* Like many people in Ehrenfest, Ella thought that using the water vegetables were cooked in resulted in illness, miscarriage, or infertility.
* When Myne first met Ella, Myne thought she was 10. However, she came of age (turned 15) the following spring.
* When Ella came of age, Rozemyne gave her a portable meat grinder as a gift, which was one of her new inventions. Meat grinders in Ehrenfest were generally large machines that couldn't be easily moved, so it was a very valuable present. Hugo was envious when he learned about it.

Nalia Toland

Nalia Toland is the youngest child and only daughter of Valen Toland, who is the current patriarch of House Toland. Following old Toland tradition, she has been given to the Guild of Sandseers where she has taken to studying the old magic of the world.

## Appearance & Character

A young woman in the beginning of her twenties, Nalia is slender of frame and sports tan skin, although it is not as dark as some of her countrymen due to the fact that she has spent much time indoors, reading old texts and studying, during her time as an initiate of the Sandseers. She has red auburn hair, usually braided out of her face or put up in a simple ponytail with the help of a strip of leather, and green eyes.

Nalia favors loose clothing in the hot climate of Dorne, such as breezy gowns or shirts and trousers made of cotton.
Delia/Relationships

# Family

### Dirk

Dirk is a new orphan for the orphanage, who suffers the Devouring, much like Myne. Myne tells her to take good care of him as her older sister, sparking Delia's caring nature to take over. Though not related by blood, Delia loves her little brother Dirk and doesn't want to be separated from him. She wants to protect him and be there for him. Delia's loyalty and love toward Dirk is absolute and unbreakable, as both his older sister and his caretaker. Even moving to her most hated place, the Orphanage, is not as bad with Dirk at her side.

# Lower City

### Hugo and Ella

Hugo and Ella were Myne's chefs and now work under Lady Rozemyne. Delia sometimes gives cooking directions in the kitchen, especially during the Orphanage's reconstruction to keep it secret from Bezewanst.

# Temple

### Bezewanst

To serve Bezewanst, the highest authority of the temple, as a mistress is Delia's greatest desire. She sees him less as a person and more as the position, and she is somewhat grateful to him for taking her out of the Orphanage at first. Before the circumstances of Myne's death, she naively trusts and is loyal to Bezewanst, though she does keep information from him when it suits her, like protecting the orphanage. As his loyal spy, Delia does her best to fulfil his wishes. After the events, Delia is shocked by Bezewanst's betrayal of trust.

### Myne

Delis thinks little of the commoner apprentice blue shrine maiden, Myne, at first, preferring to serve Bezewanst over her. As she continues to get to know Myne, her disrespect merges to a grudging thankfulness thanks to Myne's many gifts and education she gives as well as her saving the orphans. However, hearing that Myne is giving Dirk up for adoption makes her betray Myne in favor of her loyalty to Bezewanst, only to be actually betrayed by him. When Myne saves her from death, giving her the opportunity to care for Dirk, even if it means going back to the orphanage, she becomes eternally loyal to Myne.

### Gil

Delia has a rivalry with Gil. They compete in learning how to read and write. Delia gets along with Gil, as their rivalry isn't serious, and does ask him for help when she reads Sister Myne's Picture Book.

### Rosina

At first, Delia dislikes Rosina due to her not doing her fair share of work, not listening to Fran and playing music through the night, keeping her awake. Once Myne sorts out the problems, Delia grows to respect Rosina's poise and harspiel playing.

# Nobles

### Ferdinand

Delia, thanks to growing up alongside the High Bishop, mistrusts Ferdinand, seeing him as a menace and a danger. She does not value him or see him highly, even complaining that he finds joy in tearing families apart.

< Delia
Count Bindewald

* Light Novel
* Anime

**Count Bindewald** (ビンデバルト伯爵 *Bindebaruto-hakushaku*) is an archnoble from Ahrensbach, who is interested in Devouring commoners.

# Appearance

Count Bindewald is a rather short and severely overweight person with a face that is often compared to a Talfrosch, a feybeast that looks like a giant toad.

# Personality

Count Bindewald is arrogant and disdainful of anyone who is beneath him in station. He is a very cruel person, who doesn't care about young children or his underlings getting hurt, as long as he could accomplish his goals.

# Trivia

* Myne calls him a "toad" due to his outward appearance. Even his laughter sounds like toad croaking to her.
* Nobles (especially high-ranked ones) are usually good-looking because they tend to marry and have children with other good-looking nobles, but Count Bindewald is a notable exception.
* Count Bindewald is the one who delivered Georgine's letters to Veronica faction members in Ehrenfest.

Anastasius/Relationships

# Family

Anastasius is a member of the royal family and the second son of the king of Yurgenschmidt.

### Sigiswald

For several years, Anastasius had a strained relationship with his older brother Sigiswald, because they were both competing for the hand of Lady Eglantine of Klassenberg. This tension eases when Anastasius declares his plans to relinquish his claim on the throne and marry into Klassenberg with Eglantine.

# Fellow Academy Students

### Eglantine

Anastasius is deeply in love with Eglantine, and for many years he wanted to become the next king in order to fulfill her wishes. After learning that she wanted to avoid the throne, he told her about his feelings directly and promised to help her stay in Klassenberg.

While Anastasius is typically self-assured, he quickly becomes emotional when Eglantine is concerned. He is effusive in her praise, enjoys showering her in gifts, and is quick to become jealous when she shows affection to someone else. Rozemyne remarks that he seems “shinier” after he finally wins her over.

### Rozemyne

Despite starting their relationship on a bad note, Anastasius and Rozemyne from Ehrenfest develop a mutual sense of both respect and exasperation as they begin to spend more time together.

Anastasius is often dismayed and vexed by Rozemyne’s blunt attitude, and he has commented that “not even his retainers dare to speak so openly” to him. However, he appreciates that her advice and suggestions helped him make his feelings clear to Eglantine. He also shows some concern for her, advising her to be more cautious in social settings.

After Eglantine accepts his courtship and he secures permission to marry her, his mood and demeanor becomes much more cheerful. He is eager to talk to Rozemyne, primarily because she is one of the only people he can talk to about his love life. Rozemyne is less enthused.

# Synopsis

An avid bookworm and college student Motosu Urano ends up dying in an unforeseen accident, right after landing her dream job as a librarian.

When she regains consciousness, she is reborn as Myne, the daughter of a poor soldier. She lives in Ehrenfest, a city with medieval-era technology and a strict class system where the magic-wielding nobles rule supreme. But Myne doesn't let that get to her. After all, as long as she has books, she doesn't really need anything else.

However, the new world has a very low literacy rate and no printing presses, so books are scarce and belong only to nobles. They're completely out of reach for a commoner like Myne. But that doesn't stop her from wanting to read books, so she makes a decision: "If there aren't any books, I'll just create some."

Egmont

* Light Novel
* Anime

**Egmont** (エグモント *Egumonto*) is a blue priest of the Ehrenfest temple. He was one of Bezewanst's supporters.

# Personality

Egmont looks down on commoners and is full of himself for being one of Bezewanst's supporters. The attitude remained even after Veronica and Bezewanst's downfall.

# History

He was raised in the temple due to his low amount of mana, and is therefore not a full-fledged noble. Even after the purge following the civil war, when most of the Blue Priests were either called to the temple in the Sovereignty or recalled to their families to become part of noble society, Egmont was left in the temple, showing just how little mana capacity he has.
Known world

The **known world**, or simply **the world**, was a planet much larger than Earth, which contained at least three continents: Westeros, Essos, and Sothoryos, as well as a large landmass known as Ulthos. None of the landmasses in the known world were fully mapped. The planet was thought to be between forty thousand and five hundred thousand years old.

## Description

The planet in which the known world was located was large and round, though some smallfolk believed it to be flat. The planet only had one moon and belonged to a single star system. The known world had fourteen seas.

The planet had strange seasons. Summers and winters lasted for years at a time. For instance, the Long Night lasted an entire generation. Spring and fall were very short. It was not always this way, though. Some in the Order of the Maesters believed that the known world once had seasons of regular length.

Effa (Anime)/Story

# Season 1

## Episode 1: A World Without Books

Effa is relieved when her daughter Myne awakens from her fever, and pleased when she is in good enough health to go to the market. While they pick up food for the family, Effa teaches her how to read the numerals used to price items at the market. Later, Myne becomes faint and Effa leaves her with a local merchant while she finishes the shopping.

## Episode 2: Life Improvements and Slates

When Myne accidentally smashes the fruits Tuuli brings home in an attempt to extract oil, Effa scolds her fiercely for wasting food. However, she is excited to use the homemade shampoo her daughter makes.

## Episode 3: The Events of Winter

Effa spends the winter sewing clothes and helping her daughters with their winter handiwork. When Tuuli is dejected that Myne seems to be better at basket-making than her, Effa offers to teach her weaving to cheer her up, since it will be an important skill when she becomes an apprentice seamstress.

After Effa finishes Tuuli's baptism dress, Myne decides to make a flower hair ornament to complete the outfit. Effa is interested in the lace crochet technique and learns it quickly, then helps her daughter finish the accessory.

## Episode 4: Forests and Clay Tablets

Effa is surprised by Myne's method of making tasty vegetable broth, since most people discard the water after using it to cook vegetables. However, she agrees that the result is delicious.

After Myne begins her work with Otto and makes plans to build her strength to be able to walk to the forest with the other children, she comes down with a serious fever. Effa tends to her at home and tells her a folktale about the stars, which happens to be the same story she told her daughter on Urano's first day as Myne. When she finally makes her clay tablets, Myne writes down that story and resolves to make books for the rest of her mother's tales too.

When Myne's attempt to bake her clay tablets in the family oven ends in explosive failure, Effa scolds her daughter for causing trouble.

## Episode 5: Baptisms and Strange Fevers

When Myne wants to make ink for her new wood tablets, she asks Effa to use some ash from their family fireplace. Effa refuses, saying that she needs to use the ash to make soap and other supplies, but she allows Myne to clean the fireplace and gather soot.

Once Myne succeeds in making the soot into a clay crayon, she returns home to find that her wood tablets are gone: Effa had mistaken them for kindling and burned them. Unaware of her daughter's distress, she says how proud she is of Myne for helping out with the family's chores. Lutz later brings some replacement tablets made out of less flammable wood, but Effa again mistakes it for firewood, and is surprised when it begins to snap and explode in the hearth.

# Season 2

Not too long after Myne turns seven and joins the church, Effa becomes pregnant. She expects the child to be born in spring.

Barthold

Namesworn to Wilfried

**Barthold** (バルトルト, *Barutoruto*) is an Ehrenfest noble and one of Wilfried's retainers.

# Personality

Barthold is an attention seeker, who is always trying to be the center of any group he is part of and controlling of anyone of a lesser status than himself. He is practically a worshipper of Veronica, and as such, has a very strong dislike of Sylvester for imprisoning her.

# History

Prior to the purge of the former Veronica faction, Barthold's family was close to Muriella's family. As such he was considered a strong candidate for marriage for her. Whenever they were together, he would always try to command her around.

# Story

## Part 5 Volume 1

In the beginning of Rozemyne's third year at the Royal Academy, the students are informed about the coming purge of the Veronica faction. Barthold decides to give his name to Wilfried. When he learns that Muriella intends to give hers to Rozemyne, he demands that she changes her mind and serve Wilfried as well, but with their parents soon to be out of power or dead, Muriella ignores his demands.

Several days later, the students learn that the purge claimed the lives of far fewer nobles than anticipated -- only five of them have lost their parents and are thus required to give their names, including Barthold. Lady Rozemyne organizes a trip to the gathering spot, during which Barthold is able to acquire all the necessary ingredients to make his name-swearing feystone, and soon after, he gives his name to Wilfried.

Episode 3

## The Events of Winter

**"The Events of Winter"** (冬のできごと, *Fuyu no Dekigoto*) is the third episode of the *Ascendance of a Bookworm* anime series. It originally aired on October 17, 2019.

This episode was adapted from Part 1 Volume 1 of the Light Novel series (Chapter 11: Beaten by Ancient Egyptians - Chapter 14: Tuuli's Hair Ornament).

# Summary

   Two months have passed since Urano's memories awoke in Myne, and a harsh winter is underway in Ehrenfest. She and her family spend the season working on winter handiwork, including sewing and basket-making. Myne tries to use reed fibers to make papyrus, but even with Tuuli's help, the work progresses far too slowly. After three days, she gives up and decides to make clay tablets in the spring instead.

   Tuuli brings home parues, a winter fruit, and the girls work together to harvest the sweet-tasting juice. Myne is surprised to learn that the parue's soy-like pulp is usually discarded as animal feed. When Lutz and Ralph come to buy some of the extra feed, Myne uses it to make delicious paruecakes. The boys are delighted, since their family usually goes hungry over the winter. Lutz tells her that he'll lend her a hand whenever she needs help in the future.

    Myne runs out of pencils for her stone slate and asks to go back to visit Otto at the gate to get more. Jealous of her admiration for Otto, Gunther tells her that she can't go visit him until spring.

Achim

**Achim** (アヒム, *Ahimu*) is a gray priest originally from the Ehrenfest temple.

He and Egon are assigned to spend a winter in Hasse teaching the local commoners how to interact with nobles.

# Story

Following the debacle caused by the former mayor of Hasse, Rozemye quickly realizes that his successor Richt had no idea what the euphemisms he's trying to use in his letters to nobles actually mean. For example, he takes the phrase "offering of flowers and sweet fruits" literally, by offering actual flowers and an assortment of fruits and freshly pressed fruit juice. Not knowing that in noble society, it is a euphemism for sexual services and alcohol.

She chooses Achim and a second grey priest to stay with Hasse's people over the winter to teach them how to properly interact with nobles to avoid another disaster happening from miscommunication.

Apart from teaching, the two are also instructed to gather the stories of the local townsfolk for her, as part of what she internally calls "Operation Grimm," intending to print a compilation of folk stories at a later date.

Initially, the two have a bit of a hard time adjusting to the dirty environment and the rough table manners of the townspeople, but they nevertheless manage to fulfill their tasks perfectly and return to the temple the following spring.

## Part 4 Volume 4

Following the return of Lady Rozemyne from her first term at the Royal Academy, Achim is planned to be part of the teams that will go into other provinces to teach the locals how to establish a paper-making workshop. Rozemyne personally chose Achim for this, so he can continue his task of gathering local stories as part of "Operation Grimm," which had to lie dormant during her coma.

# Summary

   Under the leadership of Myne, Fran, and Gil, the orphanage is rebuilt and establishes of rule of rewarding those who work. The children go forging for paper supplies in the forest with Gunther and Lutz, and are rewarded by Myne for their productivity and hard work. Myne's three retainers are gifted slates and pencils to practice their writing while the rest of the children were given flashcards to play with made of the wood they collected in the forest, which Benno quickly buys the rights to.

While on a walk with Lutz, Myne learns that Lutz and his brother Seig have grown distant, and that the annual Star Festival is approaching, though Myne is curious if the orphans are able to attend. When she asks the High Priest about this, he informs her that the temple is open to the townspeople during the festival and that the orphans would normally be kept quiet, but allows them to partake in the town's festivities of throwing fruit at each other within the temple grounds as long as they don't cause any problems.

   When the day of the ceremony arrives, however, the fruit that was collected suddenly turns into a pod of trombe sprouts when touched by Myne. Lutz and the orphans quickly slay the predatory plant, then proceed to throw the fruit at one another to celebrate. At the end of the day, Myne ends up sick and is carried home by Fran. When she returns to the temple, the High Priest reveals that the temple grounds required some repair from the celebration and that he knew of the trombe attack, forcing Myne into detention for breaking her promise, though Fran's protest fell on deaf ears.

## Part 5 Volume 4

Due to having been involved with printing presses from the very start, Dimo is second only to Ingo himself when it comes to experience with them. For this reason Dimo is chosen to represent the workshop, in place of his foreman Ingo in the province of Kirnberger.

On the day of departure, Dimo is formally introduced to Lady Rozemyne, and is surprised that all those years back, when he helped assemble the first prototype printing press, she noticed him and still remembers him to this day. The reason why she still remembers him is, that he did such a fine job at sanding the edges of the machine to prevent her gray priests from getting splinters and she compliments him on his fine work back then.

Adrett

**Adrett** is a library magic tool created by Professor Hirschur and Ferdinand, currently owned by Lady Rozemyne.

# Appearance

Adrett takes the shape of a large, upright walking Shumil, like the originals Schwartz and Weiss and has light-green fur.

# Personality

Adrett was built to the single purpose of looking for books and documents and is incapable of speech. As such it has no personality to speak of.

# Story

At the start of Lady Rozemyne's fourth term at the Royal Academy, she is to participate in a research project with Professor Hirschur to create a magic tool derived from on Schwartz and Weiss. Before they can start their work, Rozemyne mysteriously disappears while donating mana to the statue of Mestionora in the Royal Academy Library. In Rozemyne's absence, Hirschur begins the groundwork for creating the magic tool, but gets stuck, when she finds out that only someone omni-elemental can create such a magic tool. During the following Interduchy Tournament, she is able to secure the help of Lord Ferdinand and the two are able to finish the tool. To make them consume less mana, Hirschur created this prototype with only the single function of finding documents in it's assigned library or book room and deliberately left out the ability to speak.

Since it was created with ingredients provided by Rozemyne and made for her, the Shumil brought to Rozemyne's mansion in Ehrenfest after the end of the interduchy tournament. There Lieseleta puts it into clothes left over from when they made the attire for Schwartz and Weiss and gives it the name Adrett. Rozemyne only learn of and meets her new possession week later, when she finally returns from her meeting with Erwaermen.

Clarissa

Scholar of the Sword
Name-sworn to Rozemyne

**Clarissa** (クラリッサ, *Kuralisa*) is an apprentice scholar of Dunkelfelger that serves as Hannelore's scholar during the book lover's tea party.

# Appearance

Clarissa has scorched brown hair and blue eyes. She is quite tall, being only slightly shorter than Hartmut.

# Personality

Befitting her duchy of origin, Clarissa is hot-blooded and would charge towards her goals single-mindedly. Her obsession with and reverence of Rozemyne rivals Hartmut.

Once in Ehrenfest, the other scholars are impressed with her attention to detail and dedication in her work.

# History

Like the majority of children from her duchy, Clarissa originally tried to become a knight, but failed the selection exam on account of being too small and weak, and thus chose to become a scholar instead. Since she still favors the sword over the pen, she kept training with the Dunkelfelger knights, despite technically not being one of them.

Clarissa has shown a great deal of interest - bordering on outright obsession - toward Lady Rozemyne of Ehrenfest, ever since the girl led her duchy into a victory in Ditter. That such a small and physically frail girl could not only participate in a ditter match, but turn it around to lead the clearly weaker team to victory greatly inspired Clarissa. Rozemyne personally participating in the match despite being an archduke candidate and a mere first year student and still succinctly taking charge of her duchy's knights is a sign to Clarissa that Rozemyne has the qualities of a general, fit to lead many knights. And how she was able to come up with clever and inspired tactics and tricks on the spot with just the tools she happened to have on her, without any time to prepare, marks her intellect as her greatest weapon.

Following the match, she bemoaned the fact that Rozemyne wasn't a Dunkelfelger noble, since she would have sworn herself to the girl on the spot had this been the case. From Professor Rauffen, she learned that there are ways in which she might still be able to enter Rozemyne's service, despite being from another duchy, but he cautioned her against any rash action and advised her to calm down and carefully weight her options before making a decision.
