The season is currently Summer, the time of long days and warm weather. It has been four years since King Tommen the First of his name passed away at the ripe old age of eight-and-forty, with one daughter and one son. Since then, his son has perished in a battle against the some Braavosi who dared challenge him, though he left a heir, another King Tommen, third of his name. Once more, yet another king was slain though this time it was in his own bedchambers.The most recent King Tommen fell ill, so much that even the Grand Maester could not save him. Now you are all caught up as to what King died and where.

The Hand has been the same all through out the ruling, now a old man ripe in his old age, being of five-and-sixty, he is not fit to rule the Kingdom in the King's place, thus putting the kingdom in peril.
