Game of Thrones: King of Harrenhal, starting with a blue hand stat panel

Divine Sword Hall.

"The Royalists were defeated in the war, but the defeat taught us more. Only stronger warriors and alliances can defeat Robert now." Earl Alan Dayne was cautious, tall, thin, and frail.

At present, this statement is indeed undeniable.

Robert had planted many landmines, but they hadn't been detonated yet.

"I'm old, and I'm rambling on. I hope you don't find it annoying. I may have lost the sharpness of my youth and become more inclined towards stability," Count Alan said self-deprecatingly, resting his hand on the throne of the divine sword. "When I learned of my brother's death, I told myself it was the fate of the Dawn Sword, but I was still saddened."

"How could that be?" Arthur was very grateful for Earl Alan's teachings.

The count made no mention of Ashara, nor did he know anything about this first beauty of Dorne.

His fate is unknown; he may indeed be dead.

Count Aran is somewhat similar to the silent Prince Doran; he has not forgotten his defeat, but he still chooses to endure it.

Aran's population conditions are not as good as Doran's.

Doran at least had top-tier warriors like Oberyn Martell and a group of Sand Serpents as his henchmen.

The Dane family currently has too few members in its main line: an old man, a young boy, and a sister.

"The Dane family name is prestigious enough, but Prince Doran understands my sorrow; he is a wise ruler," Earl Alan said again, referring to Doran.

"After all, you are all descendants of Queen Nymeria," Arthur said, thus the bloodline of Starfall City has a close relationship with Sunspear City.

Nymeria chose Sir Davos Dayne as her third husband, who served as her lover and advisor.

Their sons had no right to inherit Dorne, but later became the Lord of Starfall.

This is also why Yangji City was unprepared for the star to fall into the city.

"That old fox, Doran," Arthur thought to himself.

Only a handful of people knew about Doron's plans.

The Earl of Ellenwood in the East and the Earl of Fowler in the Middle cooperated with his rule, but Doran could not easily trust the Ellenwood family.

As for the Dane family on the west side, they are now small in number and have no will to fight.

Doran had always been a supporter of Martell, but not wanting to get too involved, he didn't include Count Alain.

"My current wish is to wait for Edric to grow up and inherit Starfall City, becoming the Dawn Sword. And also to see my sister Aria get married." Count Alan's eyes held both hope and sorrow.

"But both of your wishes will fail," Arthur thought.

Count Alain's health is not good; he has at most seven or eight years to live before he dies, and neither of his wishes will be fulfilled.

"But it seems I may not be able to wait until then," Earl Alan said in a deep voice.

"Do you have someone you're worried about?" Arthur asked.

"My cousin, Jero Dayne, a young man from Hidden High City, is a harsh man. I don't like him coming to Starfall City, and I will never let him become regent." Alan did not shy away from this point.

It's quite normal for families to fight over inheritance rights.

The Targaryens, Starks, Arryn, and Durandon all fought fiercely, and the Lannisters also had a suspected patricide scandal.

Upon hearing this, Arthur thought, "Isn't this kid Dark Star?"

Dane's master of splitting the family, the venomous snake that even Oberyn Martell warned against.

Dark Star slept with Princess Arianne and killed Princess Myrcella with his sword, so he can be considered a princess killer.

"But he's only dividing the family property; he's far from having a right to inherit," Arthur emphasized.

The relationship between the two is similar to that between He An and Rostan.

If the main branch of the Rostan clan had not been wiped out, the branch of the He'an clan would not have been able to rise to power.

"It looks far, but it's not actually that far," Earl Alan said. "Unexpected things can happen to children during the inheritance process. Golden Lion smothered his brother and niece with a pillow."

This left Arthur speechless, given that the Lannisters' patricide was known throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

"What can I do for you, Earl? I will help in any way I can," Arthur said.

"Dark Star, Prince Doran and Prince Oberyn know he's a viper. The sword protectors in the White Stone Tower are all loyal to Edric. But you are an exception, Arthur. You have already shown your talent and will be a good knight and a great man in the Seven Kingdoms in the future. If you have the chance, please take care of Edric and Aria for me." Count Aran's tone was sharp.

"I swear on the honor of a warrior," Arthur promised.

Count Alain's succession plan was very sound, a kind of triple insurance.

The first level is the Martell family.

The second layer consists of the sword protectors of the White Stone Sword Tower in Starfall City. They are powerful old knights who are loyal only to their own clan and are also responsible for training the Dawn Swords.

The third purpose is to find a suitable marriage for Aria, which can also protect Edric.

Arthur is too far away, and Harrenhal is shrouded in a cursed legend.

However, Count Alain still admired him quite a bit for his appearance and demeanor.

"I believe your promise. Spend more time with Aria; you're both young." Count Alan's tone softened, and he chuckled. "Your men are all tired; rest well tonight, enjoy the dinner, and tomorrow I'll take you to see the White Stone Tower and Dawn."

...

The next day, at the White Stone Sword Tower.

The White Stone Sword Tower stands atop the steep, seaside cliffs of Starfall City, like a ferocious beast gazing out at the ocean.

These white stones are a special type of white rock, which is very stable.

Earl Alan led the way, taking Arthur, Sir Lucas, and Aria to the White Stone Tower.

Arthur's guards were waiting outside.

Aria was still a twelve-year-old girl after all, and once she got to know someone, she became very talkative, unlike when she first met them.

She has long black hair and violet eyes like her sister; she is also a future beauty.

Being with Arthur could be described as a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

"Your eyes are also a deep blue, almost purple. This is the first time I've ever seen them like this," Aria said.

"It got this high after a fever." Arthur's reason was a bit lame; he couldn't very well say it was because the dragon's blood had exploded.

"You have a really high fever," Aria said, pouting.

Six guards stood watch outside the White Stone Sword Tower. Upon seeing the Earl arrive, they bowed respectfully.

The Sword Tower Guards consist of several groups, and these people are a powerful trump card for the Earl of Starfall City.

The White Stone Spire has nine tiers. Originally, there was no legend of the Seven Gods, so the Dane family may have used the number nine.

Upon entering the White Stone Spire, one finds the stone walls adorned with sculptures depicting meteors and swords, as well as the legend of the Dawn Sword.

Count Aran led the way, and they began to move forward along the spiral staircase.

The first eight floors are relatively empty, but they also preserve some relics of the previous Dawn Sword, such as armor and daggers.

The ninth floor is where "Dawn" is located.

The Dawn Greatsword is embedded in a white boulder, standing silently in this place.

The Dawn's broad blade is as beautiful as milky white glass, completely different from the Valyrian steel, which is dark and smoky with hundreds of patterns.

In terms of strength and sharpness, the Dawn is comparable to a Valyrian steel sword.

Legend has it that it may have been forged from the core of a fallen meteorite.

"Dawn!" Arthur finally saw Dawn, one of the four great swords of Westeros, and perhaps the oldest and most legendary.

The other ice weapons, like Heartbreaker, are only a few hundred years old, and Light Howl Sword was lost by Lion himself.

On a shelf next to the white giant rock, there is also a huge book.

"The White Knight has a White Codex, but our Dane family also has a Dawn Swordsman's Register," said the aged knight who guards the dawn.

The old knight had white hair and was draped in the purple robes of the Dane family.

A devout old knight, Arthur thought he was somewhat like Barristan.

"Uncle," Earl Alan said with great respect.

"This is my uncle, Sir Arthur Samwell, the swordsman of the ninth floor, and a ruthless swordsman who will teach the Dawn Swordsmanship," Alan introduced.

"Alright, Alan, stop with the nonsense. I thought you wouldn't come to see me until your son's an adult." Samwell rolled his eyes at Alan. "Who's this kid?"

"The Black Bat, Arthur Hoan, heir to Harrenhal," Aria introduced.

"Alright, little Aria." Sir Samwell looked Arthur over. "Good prospect, but it's a pity he's not Dane's child. Dawn will have to continue its slumber."
