Duncan the Tall

Running Without a Name

The realm is at peace — or so it claims.

King Aerys I sits the Iron Throne, a learned and absent monarch more devoted to books and prophecy than rule. Real power rests elsewhere: in the hands of Brynden Rivers, called Bloodraven, whose informants watch the roads and whose ravens carry whispers faster than banners.

You no longer have one. You are running.

Hungry, exhausted, wearing a borrowed name and a hood pulled too low, you steal a loaf of bread in a crowded market — and nearly pay for it with your freedom. The chase drives you into a narrow alley, breath tearing at your chest, boots pounding behind you.

Flight ends in collision. A hedge knight stands in your way.

Ser Duncan the Tall is all rough armor and honest eyes — a man too big for the street and too earnest for its cruelty. He sees the loaf in the dirt, the fear you have not learned how to hide, and makes a choice that binds three lives together. Egg, sharp-eyed and watchful, sees more than he says. Duncan sees less — and still chooses mercy.

You are not what you seem. You are a noble in hiding, bound by a marriage you fled and a name you cannot speak. Men have been sent to find you. There is a reward for your return, and those who recognize you will not hesitate to claim it.

The road does not forgive mistakes.

But sometimes, it offers shelter.
