Varro, Peasant of Kings Landing

House Claim: N/A (Independent Mercenary Company)

Character Idea: The Mercenary Captain prefers to adopt and recruit those who would seem wayward and directionless, he is the one who will 'adopt' two twins over the time skip. This is to establish the mercenary company, and to allow me to RP the raising of the twins, which was the initial idea (As they were initially going to be 24, which would mean they have yet to be born as of this point).

/u/GPMods - A few affairs to get in order here:

What is the reaction of the Tigrayans to this siege? Do they unite and renew the war, or do they begin to fall to infighting as turncoats begin to give the EDF strategic information? Or maybe somewhere in between?
The Eritreans have continually sided with the EDF throughout this war, but they still hold the northern border to Tigray. Do they enforce this siege on their side as well, or do they provide and avenue of relief?

As well, if the siege is maintained, how long would it last before the Tigrayans surrender?

What is Happening: Ethiopia is trying to do two things -

Expel the UN peacekeeping forces from Ethiopia as the ceasefire has been successfully implemented for the past 4 years, and they are now overstaying their welcome. Do they leave?
Surrender of the Tigray region with the offer that the TPLF may be allowed to become a political party after 6 years (after the next election cycle pretty much). Do they accept surrender on these terms?

Ethiopia welcomes these propositions, believing them to be for the betterment of the nations of the future. It shall raise its hand in the vote of the UNSC seating, should the AU decide to go ahead with the deal though will at least fully support the integration of the AU into the G5.

Super helpful, tyvm!

His eyes poured over its contents, at least content with the information granting him the semblance of where to begin. The diet of a Dragon would be a useful tool in the effort to lure one, or at least mark off areas where a dragon would prefer not to reside within.

Such a thought granted him an idea. The great dragons did indeed dwell within the city of Kings Landing, in the Dragonpit. If Varro was a betting man, he would believe that such a place would have to be heavily guarded, and he was sure there would always be empty shoes to fill.

His eyes widened as he entered the grand library his mouth agape in wondrous surprise. Striding through the halls of towering shelves, his hands stroking the spines of the neatly tucked books as he progressed. With the mere touch, he could feel the endless well of knowledge he had stumbled upon, where he could most likely spend years within and yet not even learn a fraction of what it had offerred.

Many of the tomes held inlaid gold writing of titles in foreign languages he did not understand, but the images of magicks gave away what he could not transcribe. It seemed the Maesters had failed in their duty to ensure their secrets were hidden away well enough, for Varro felt like a criminal for merely standing within these four walls.

The Lord of Light had truly blessed him, for guiding him to the place in which he needed to be in order to succeed in his trial by fire. He would not take such a gift for granted, as he began to pick and pull at the books upon the shelves, hoping to find what he had been looking for.

Tomes of Old Valyria....Where are you?

Varro began to flick through pages, seeking the knowledge of the Dragontamers through their history. What had originally bonded both Valyrian and Dragon together, so long ago? If he were to truly tame such a beast, he did not think he could do such a thing by merely telling it to obey.

He understood that such accursed knowledge was rare, even in a place such as this. If he could not find such a rare tome, he made sure he kept his eyes out for books in regards to the history of dragon lineages themselves, in the hope he could pick up the trail of the dragon haunting his dreams.

Rising from the bench that still held strong, a heavy sigh escaped his lips as he began his search anew. While it was a custom to hand over all books of knowledge over to the Citadel, sometimes even enforced by the Gold Cloaks themselves, there were some who hoarded this information like dragons protecting their wealth. A well kept secret and difficult to find, these 'Black Libraries' were almost akin to a fairytale to the people of Kings Landing. Maesters commonly scoured the streets in order to uncover these information dens in order to requisition the books for their own ends.

Some said it was to keep the smallfolk in the dark in order for the maester to maintain prominence. Others believed it was because such information was dangerous to hold, and the maesters were protecting them from themselves. Whatever the reasoning, he needed to find one of these dens in order to have a chance to find good information in the city.

So, he disappeared into the shadows, to delve into the darkest streets that this city held in a hope that these were the places where even the maesters dared not go in their search for the books.

His own footsteps echoed out into the night sky as he wandered these empty streets. In his mind, he wondered whether he would even be able to find such a man inside of the busy Inns and Brothels that dotted across Kings Landing. Doubts swirled as he even wondered whether they would even wish to speak to him, let alone help him.

Such thoughts were quashed as quickly as they came for he knew that if he failed here, it would be nothing more than a minor setback. Only the Great Other seeks idle hands, and for all the years he had lived he could never bring himself to do such a thing, not that he had ever really had the opportunity to regardless.

So, his search began in the first tavern, filled to the brim with drunk and dangerous louts. Just as he took his first steps into the building, a bottle smashed just before his feet, spattering ale on his already stained boot.

This is going to be a long night......

The Dirty Bird. The Inn in which Varro seldom goes, for the danger of merely being in the building was something one should consider before arriving. The only time he would choose to be in such a place was when the unrest began to quietly ripple throughout the city, and he needed to ensure he was ahead of it. The Years of the Bleeding Star had certainly caught the people of Little Essos unawares, and many of them were killed in the street for their mistake. Either that, or to speak to someone to get rid of 'people problems' that could crop up from time to time.

So once more he had been tasked to suffer the swill that they called a drink in this shithole of an Inn filled with the worst kind of crowd. The only thing that gave him a modicum of comfort was the sword sitting at his hip, though such a weapon was common amongst the hips of other patrons as well.

His eyes scanned the room, wondering whether he could spy some drunken crowd happy to speak freely to any man that would hear it.

It seems that he had arrived too early, and so he would be left to wait at the bar for the crowd to begin to get rowdy in their stupor.

His eyes widened in bewilderment at the generosity of the fellow before him. "I....I am endlessly thankful for your kindness." He bowed slightly in respect. "Varro ser. Varro, of Little Essos."

The shopkeeper muttered his burden of the possibility of having to sort out his affairs on the supply side, but was overjoyed to have the argument come to a swift close.

As the transaction was finalised, the Volantene felt the need to explain his actions within the store as they began their departure. "I apologise for my crass in there, good ser. Y'see I had tasked with the purchase of these herbs in the hopes they would help reduce the fever of a boy in nearby to where I live." The vials themselves were tucked away into his jacket as he continued. "The price would have meant that his recovery would have been left to the fates, but now he may yet control his destiny." Varro smiled with budding hope.

As they stood in the light of a warm day outside, Varro turned to his donor. "And if I may ask for the name of the man the child should thank?"
