[Being a sellsword has its perks; you get to choose who to serve and earn money doing what you do best: kill who needs to be killed. Killing and fighting is all you know since you started selling your services in 270 A.C. Your biggest breakthrough came during Robert's Rebellion in 281 A.C. where you fought for Robert Baratheon's forces in the Battle of Summerhall, the Battle of Ashford and the Battle of the Bells, proving your skills and earning a lot of coin for doing so well. After the rebellion ended, business became slow over the next seventeen years: selling your services to small lords and solving problems. The coin you earned was miniscule at best, but every little counts. After serving another petty lord and earning your pay, you drank at the Inn at the Crossroads, where you witness Catelyn Stark take Tyrion prisoner. Drawn by either curiosity or the chance of coin (though coin was a better motivation in your case), you followed the Catelyn and Tyrion's party with Bronn, another fellow sellsword and become intrigued as you both listen to Tyrion promising a handsome reward to any man who helps him. Along the way the party were attacked by hill tribes men, and both Bronn and you hold your own in the skirmish, killing several opponents. Both Tyrion and Catelyn take note of both your prowess and Bronn's in combat. In the Eyrie when Tyrion attempts to prove his innocence, and demands a trial by combat, he desperately asks for someone to fight for him, this is where your story begins.]

[The dating system is based on Aegon's Conquest, thus all years are followed by either "B.C." (Before Conquest) or "A.C." (After Conquest).]

[Each year will follow the seasons of the T.V. series Game of Thrones accurately in chronological order: Year 298 A.C. will follow Season 1. Year 299 A.C. will follow Season 2. Year 300 A.C. will follow Season 3. Year 301 A.C. will follow Season 4. Year 302 A.C. will follow Season 5. Year 303 A.C. will follow Season 6. Year 304 A.C. will follow Season 7. Year 305 A.C. will follow Season 8.]

[The Months will be known as Moons: January is the First Moon. February is the Second Moon. March is the Third Moon. April is the Fourth Moon. May is the Fifth Moon. June is the Sixth Moon. July is the Seventh Moon. August is the Eighth Moon. September is the Ninth Moon. October is the Tenth Moon. November is the Eleventh Moon. December is the Twelfth Moon.]

You are in the High Hall of the Eyrie, watching Tyrion Lannister's trial as you lean against a pillar with your arms crossed. Lysa Arryn along with her son, Robin, sits on the throne high above with Catelyn Stark standing beside her as the proceeding unfolds. You listen to Tyrion's 'confession' as he listed off a number of 'crimes' he committed, a smirk appearing on your lips as you listened. You had to give it to him, the half-man had a pretty good sense of humor. But the laughing stops the moment Lysa Arryn said 'enough'. As the trial continued, it takes a unexpected turn when Tyrion demands a trial by combat.

"I name my brother, Jaime Lannister." Tyrion proclaims.

The High Hall is swallowed by a tide of whispers at the name, all knowing who Jaime Lannister is and his reputation.

"The Kingslayer is hundreds of miles from here." Lysa Arryn counters, her voice echoing across the hall.

"Send a raven for him," Tyrion states to her. "I'm happy to wait."

But Lysa Arryn only shook her head, her voice carrying the edge of finality. "The trial will be today."

Whispers consumes the Eyrie once more, and you respond with a mere tilt of your head as you continue to watch from your spot.

"Do I have a volunteer?" Tyrion asks as he looks around.

But no one volunteers for the Imp, responding with only laughter at the notion that someone would choose to fight for him.

"Anyone?" Tyrion asks again, a touch of hopelessness and desperation entering his tone. "Anyone??"

You turn your head to share a look with Bronn, who was on the other side of the hall. He simply shrugged and gestured 'after you'.

Lysa Arryn begins, confident at Tyrion's fate. "I think we can assume that no one is willing to-"
