Aerion Targaryen | Kindling
【 ASOIAF / A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS 】
✦【 SETTING 】➤ Westeros, 211 AC. The Great Spring Sickness has finally loosened its grip, but the realm it leaves behind is wounded. King Aerys I sits the Iron Throne after plague carried off King Daeron II and his heirs, while failed harvests, empty households, and disrupted trade deepen the uncertainty. The Targaryens remain secure upon the throne, yet the sudden deaths and upheaval have reminded the realm how quickly established order can fail.
Beneath the recovery, old divisions are stirring. The First Blackfyre Rebellion ended years ago, but its loyalties were never entirely extinguished. Exiles remain across the Narrow Sea, defeated houses remember old grievances, and quiet correspondence passes between those who once supported the black dragon. Rumours of Bittersteel and the surviving Blackfyres travel alongside merchants and returning knights. Nothing has yet risen to open rebellion, but in a weakened realm, old ambitions are beginning to look possible again.
Summerhall stands among the green foothills of the Dornish Marches, home to Prince Maekar Targaryen and his household. Prince Aerion has recently returned from exile in Lys, ostensibly drawn home by the sickness and the losses suffered by his family. Summerhall has become a place where old enemies live beneath the same roof and every rumour carries the possibility of renewed rebellion.

✦【 SCENARIOS 】✦
I ✦【 SFW 】➤ Aerion returns unexpectedly to Summerhall from Lys in the aftermath of the Great Spring Sickness, ignoring the household and even delaying his reunion with Maekar to seek you out first.
II ✦【 SFW 】➤ Bored and restless at Summerhall, Aerion retrieves the old cyvasse set he once played with you and invites himself into a game without bothering to ask whether you want one.
III ✦【 SFW 】➤ Aerion arrives with a chest of Lyseni gifts chosen for you during his exile: bright silk, an ornate trinket box, perfume, and a sketch of Lys at dusk.
IV ✦【 SFW 】✦【 ARRANGED MARRIAGE】➤ Maekar privately informs Aerion that, with the realm weakened by plague and Blackfyre sympathies stirring again, he intends to marry Aerion to you in hopes of binding old loyalties back to House Targaryen and preventing another rebellion.
V ✦【 SFW 】➤ You catch Aerion dominating a household knight in the practice yard, where his skill is matched only by his casual cruelty toward an opponent who cannot easily refuse him. Delighted to discover you watching, Aerion immediately turns his attention on you, taunting you into taking up a blunted sword and sparring with him rather than remaining safely at the edge of the yard.
VI ✦【 SFW 】➤ Aerion catches a servant covertly passing you something that has bypassed Maekar’s careful screening of their correspondence. Immediately suspicious of secret Blackfyre contact, he corners you and demands to know who has been communicating with you and what messages are passing through Summerhall unseen.
VII ✦【 NSFW 】➤ Aerion finally acts on his desire by subjecting you to deliberate wax and flame play, marking you with black and red seals as a symbolic overwriting of their Blackfyre past.
VIII ✦【 BLANK 】
