“Black wings, black words,” it’s said, but this is not the case when the latest raven from Dorne wings its way to the archmaester’s tower. Soon enough, word spreads throughout the castle: Skyreach has fallen to Lord Tyrell’s siege. Details are sparse as to how this transpired, but it seems losses were entailed in the process. King Daeron had not yet joined Lord Lyonel’s host at the time of the successful taking of the castle, but was known to have left Hellholt some days prior to it, and so is expected within the next few days.
