Michelle Trachtenberg is the daughter of Kate Lovie , and Frank Trachtenberg II. making her a member of the Lovie Family. She has been constantly overshadowed by her older sister Kristen Trachtenburg over the course of her life, and this has led to her and Kristen having an extremely strained relationship. Seth Green would come to marry Michelle Trachtenberg and the two would at first be relatively happy but this relationship became strained due to the discovery of Michelle having affairs which caused Seth to engage in his own affairs but despite this private truth they remain happy in public. Michelle Trachtenberg, and Seth Green have two children in the form of Wilhem, and Ashley Green of which both are young at the time of Westros and living in Lucerne with their mother.
Michelle Trachtenburg gains her major role in the storyline during her POV Role in the story A Green River Bleeds which details her life, and expanding role within the Kingdom, and most importantly to her House Lovie.
Michelle Trachtenburg was born the youngest child of Kate Lovie, and Frank Trachtenburg making her an important member of the Lovie Family through the House Trachtenberg branch of the family. Michelle would travel with the fleet of William Lovie III. for the Second Crisis of Turnendorf and during this time she attempted to become more influential but fell behind her cousin Emma despite her best attempts. Michelle became a major player during the taking of Lucerne by her cousin William when she was used by Lornax, and Vlarenix to pass the Circlet of Aerene to James Lovie II. who had been convinsed that she was a great traitor and brought before him because of this she was badly injured but managed to used the Circlet to give James weeks of freedom from Vhloraz before she was sent to Castle Whitehaven. During the Rise of Lucerne she was chosen by her cousin as the girl that they would have marry Seth Green the son and heir of the Riverlands power broker Fadin Green, and this caused a lot of suprise amongst the leadership of Lucerne, but William ignored this and moved forward on this plan. She would accompany Eddard Starke into the Riverlands during the negotiations and her presentation to Lord Fadin Green was seen as very important and she did everything she could to make sure she was seen as the perfect person to become the Lords daughter. Her success and accepatance into House Green would allow her to repair all the damage that had been done to her reputation throughout the years, and she grew happy for the first time in many years. With the arrangement moving forward she would be greeted by Steve Lane of whom wanted her back, but discovered that despite still loving him she was not willing to derail the diplomacy of her cousin and for this reason sent him away and told Marcel Lovie to make sure that he didn't return. Her wedding would seal the final straw for the fall of the Riverlands, and she would move to Seagard where she became the princess of Seagard and the wife of Seth Green. A year after the marriage she became pregnant with his child, and after a healthy delivery she would give birth to a healthy baby girl. Her role as mother became her primary role as Seth Green following impregnating her again would leave for Westbridge with much of the army of House Green leaving her alone in Seagard with noone but her handmaiden's to keep her company. As Seth Green became embroiled in the fighting in Westbridge she became rather lonely in Seagard, and came to leave Seagard after the birth of her son and stayed in Lucerne with her family. Returning to Lucerne she was hounded by Steve Lane of whom was able to convinse her that he was sorry for everything that had happened and wanted her desperatly. Giving into his advances the two would become once again intimate and this time she went to her cousin William before anything had happened, and realizing that if he was logical he was bound to have her imprisoned for causing the possible failure of a large union in the Riverlands, but William`s love for his cousin caused him to instead direct her to hatch a plot to have her husband killed so that her son would be the heir to House Green and she would be acting regent, and after some time she could be married to Steve Lane in the actual marriage she wanted.
Characteristics
Michelle Trachtenburg has never felt much love in her life. She and her sister competed constantly and the relationship itself wasn't one of warmth. Her parents were very busy, and this led to her being alone a lot of the time. This has led her to constantly search for someone to care about her, and in this way she has become a girl with a rather negative reputation amongst the girls of her age, and even some of the older noblewomen after she engaged in a scandelous relationship with a number of Nobleman. This behavior has caused her to be rather disrespected amonst the members of House Lovie, and has pushed her nearly out of the family.
History
Main Article : Timeline of Michelle Trachtenberg
Early History
- “My youth was filled with the failed expectations of basically every person that I cared anything for. I tried so hard throughout my youth to be the person that they all seemed to want me to be, but the moment I became the free spirit that they begged me to be, they called me a whore. There is no pleasing the world, its all a matter of simply pleasing your own mind, and then everything elce just comes together.”
- — Michelle Trachtenberg
Michelle Trachtenburg was born the youngest child of Kate Lovie, and Frank Trachtenburg making her an important member of the Lovie Family through the House Trachtenberg branch of the family. During her youth she was constantly compared to her older sister Kristen, and this led to a lot of disputes between the two that always seemed to be blamed on Michelle. Michelle Trachtenburg due to this has never felt much love in her life from her closest family members, as due to the previous notes she and her sister competed constantly and the relationship itself wasn't one of warmth. Her parents were very busy, and this led to her being alone a lot of the time, of which eventually somewhat ended when she was sent to the Lucernian Academy a few years after her older sister. This isolation from her home with the Trachtenbergs and searching for a relationship with the Lovie branch of her family has led her to constantly search for someone to care about her, and in this way she has become a girl with a rather negative reputation among the girls of her age, and even some of the older noblewomen after she engaged in a scandalous relationship with a number of Nobleman. Watching her older cousin William Lovie III. engage in numerous romantic affairs with other nobles she came to believe in her naievity that she could do the same and gain his respect, but discovered to her horror that this would have far more consequences as a girl then it did for prince William.
Happiness, and Sadness
- “My relationship with Steve was doomed from the very beginning. He had a kind heart, but I was stuck in a tornado of the life I had created for myself. No matter how much I wanted to drift towards him, the world just wouldn't stay away, and I don't blame him for getting tired of it.”
- — Michelle Trachtenberg
Michelle became romantically linked to Steve Lane after the two spent time together riding horses due to the fact that Michelle Trachtenberg was sent to the House Lovie estate to spend sometime away from the constant rumors and verbal attacks from the other girls of her age. She accompanied her cousin Marcel Lovie II. to the estate where he was going to be staying for a time while he learned the arts of mounted combat from House Lane's primarch John Lane. When she arrived at the estate she came to be very bored, and the only thing she could find to do was ride the horses, and it was riding these horses that got her to know John Lane the Patriarch of House Lane, and his son Steve Lane. She grew close to Steve Lane of whom was a lover of the horses, and taught her everything he could about riding and caring for the horses, and from the innocence this relationship grew into a romantic one, and they begin to become intimate and this became one of the best times of Michelle's life. This happy time was interrupted when Skarloc Mannover arrived in the House Lovie estate to meet with Marcel Lovie when he happened to see Michelle Trachtenberg. Skarloc had been one of the nobles that had been using Michelle Trachtenberg sexually back in Lucerne and he threatened her relationship with Steve Lane unless she slept with him again. She didn't want to but she didn't want to lose
Steven so she did anyway. Following this she hoped everything would go back to normal, and for a time it did with her and Steve continuing their relationship but it was interrupted again when Steve joined House Lane in the Journey.
- “It was all so safe and comfortable while he was beside me. He made the days more happy then I had ever known, and with him the nights were never as empty as they had been. When he left though it was like the world just flooded in, and the dams I had built just weren't strong enough to hold back the water.”
- — Michelle Trachtenberg
During his departure her whereabouts became common knowledge after Skarloc Mannover told some of his friends about her being in the estate. Many nobles came to the estate trying to get her to do the same things she had done in the past, but she turned them away until the coming of Maron Scorpian of whom beat her quite badly and then had his way with her, before making her understand that she was a whore worth nothing. With this in her mind and no steve to protect her she became exactly what they wanted her to be. When Steve returned he became aware of what she had done while he was gone, and he refused to see her anymore leading to her being more alone then ever. Marcel Lovie learned of all this and thus it spread throughout House Lovie what she had been doing, and she lost herself in her own family leading to her being exiled by Bill Lovie shortly before the return of the army of William Lovie III.

Its while sitting in the gardens outside the Skytower kissing Rosalie Hale when the two are interrupted by the arrival of Carlisle Cullen, and Kieth Schwartz. The two attempt to send Rosalie away but William resists this and she stays with him as they tell him about the coming Nortburg Tournament. It’s revealed that following the wedding it was William that was shuttled back to Lucerne and has been locked away inside the Tower of Clouds estate with only his friends able to visit him inside. William demands to know where Alice is and as the group is arguing about this its James that comes out of the front gate. William looks to his father and is shocked at his appearance. The last time he saw his father was only a few weeks ago but seeing him again he looks like he’s aged twenty years. The whole group is quiet as James is helped to get over to them with the assistance of two guards under each arm. Alongside the guards he is followed by Aelfwynn Turnidlon, Fabian Klauseburg, who all have an aura of nervousness as they reach William. Carlisle attempts to have James returned to the tower, but James ignores him and tells the guards to sit him down on the bench. After sitting down, he sends everyone away except for Kieth, and William. As Rosalie goes to leave, she gives him a kiss on the cheek, and it makes William feel a sense of safety. The discussion between the three of them does not go well as James reveals several hard truths for William. The first being the fact that Alice has indeed been betrothed to Paulus Yernese and nothing William does will change this fact. The next is that he would not be accompanying them to Nortburg and that Kieth would be his guardian while he was outside of Lucerne. Williams attempts to resist the words of his father lack any real aggression as he is thrown off by how sickly his father appears and having never seen his father looking so close to death, he is unable to quickly adjust. James discusses that at the tournament there will be many girls sent to the tournament as he has made it known that he wants to decide on William’s future bridge and will decide at the tournament based on Kieth’s negotiations. James begins coughing which again puts William in a state of panic as he watches his father break down. The coughing gets bad causing the return of Aelfwynn and Fabian who joined by several guards pick him up and bring him back to the Cloud Tower leaving a shaken William behind.
Following this its Kieth that stays behind and talks with William and the two show themselves to be close as despite everything happening William looks at him in a father like way. Kieth tells William to have the servants pack some things for the trip, and he does this following Kieth onto the lift of the Cloud Tower. Kieth commands two servants to accompany them up the lift to assist William and two girls quickly shuffle on to the lift in response. The two go up the lift but Kieth gets off on the fifth floor leaving William to travel further up with only two of his servants with him in the form of Adolfa and Helmgarda. Going up the next fifteen floors on the lift he looks on the two girls who keep their head bowed the entire time up the lift, and William begins to ponder who he is as a person. Thinking back to the peasants on the mountain he realizes that he has been detatched from the common man of Lucerne and decides to be better. William sparks a conversation with the two but only Adolfa pushes past her nerves to speak with William and the two share a laugh as the lift arrives at his floor. Going onto the floor they move past two guards towards his room where Adolfa follows him, while Helmgarda does the same but trails further behind. While discussing the trip to Nortburg its Adolfa that tells William that she overheard discussions to have his friends not accompany him on the trip to Nortburg and hearing this news he thanks her with a kiss and rushes to the lift. Leaving behind Helmgarda, and Adolfa to pack his things he goes back to the lift and prepares to find his friends to bring them back to the tower.  
Lying to the guards that he is just going to the garden he can escape the tower and get into the garden. Inside the garden he hops the wall and sneaks onto the walls where he uses a rope to climb himself down thinking how this gets easier the taller, he gets. As he reaches the bottom, he pulls the rope with him and then sees Leven sitting down across from him smiling at him. Revealing that she knew he would escape sooner or later she had come here to meet him. Pulling her into a hug he explains what has happened and attempts to take her hand and go and gather the Shadow Council, but she stops him. Telling him that she had been with Aria when guards had come and commanded that she begin packing for the trip. She had then tried to see Jasper and Rosalie but saw guards there as well revealing her attempts to find the Shadow Council had all ended in failure leaving just her not taken away. At Leven’s words he prepares to sneak her inside so that she is not sent away with the rest of his friends. Using the rope, he pulls himself back up and then helps Leven do the same. Going back to the tower he goes inside where he finds the servant clothing, he has hidden for events like this and brings them back outside. Taking them to Leven he gives them to her to change and while at first, he turns away to give her privacy he sees her reflection in a vase. Seeing her body exposed he feels the desire to turn around and touch her skin but controls himself and does not turn around. With Leven pretending to be a servant they go inside returning to the lift and go back to his floor. Arriving at the floor they find his things packed and by the entrance to the lift and no sight of Helmgarda and Adolfa. The guard on duty is Erik Fahnrich who recognized Leven but doesn’t say anything just smiles and lets the two go past him. William wakes up in the morning and finds himself and Leven cuddling in bed together and feeling her skin against him he begins touching her this time unable to control himself. Leven wakes up to this and embarrassed at first to be caught she silences him with a kiss. The kiss becomes heated with the two touching each other but as it risks going somewhere further, he stops them as he becomes ashamed of betraying Rosalie. Leven looks disappointed but smiles at him, and the two get dressed as by this point they were both naked. Leaving Lucerne with only Leven, and his servants they travel by carriage towards Nortburg with Leven and William sharing the carriage together. During the ride they talk as they always have but things have changed between them as there is a chemistry now there that William resists due to his feelings for Rosalie. Leven does tell William briefly about her time on the road back to Lucerne and hints that she believes Wuldrik Toyne may be her real father. Blood of Old Atlantis 
As James and his council begin planning for different marriage options for the prince William Lovie III. it was James that became very interested in the idea of having a Numenorian brought. James understood that the blood of Atlantis was very rare in the valley and thus they would have to find this Numenorian girl from somewhere outside of the valley. As word was sent to loyalists throughout the surrounding kingdoms it was a trader in Lorderon that passed on the information that a princess in Arnor was not back on the market. It was thus James Lovie was sent information that the young Ar-Brentey Hemsworth was now free following the death of her proposed husband in battle. James sent letters to King Jonas Hemsworth asking him if her hand was open for his young son William Lovie III., and after a series of back and forth letters Jonas would take this option to his council, and their would little debate among them. It was decided that clearly this was a top tier marriage option, and thus was one of the two eventual Numenorian betrothal options that were brought in. The second Numenorian option was discovered much closer to home in the form of Seri-Relisia Terrick of whom was a member of the Dragonoph Temple that had become increasingly attached to the Shadow Council and thus an obvious option. With Relisia an obvious option it was Aldiel that appeared before the Circle council and was told of this plan, and would give permission for the betrothal discussions stating that she had the full authority of her husband. The truth of this was the Aldiel was long dead and this was actually in fact Septemax that was acting as Aldiel and thus it was Septemax that became perhaps the last true Dovah influence in the capital.  
Ar-Brentey was told about the plan, and having spent the better part of two decades in isolation at the Anchorite of Fornost she was overjoyed at the chance to leave the Anchorite. During the time before she left she was left a list of things that William liked that had been sent by James Lovie but unfortunately James did not know his son half as well as he thought so the vast majority of these things were inaccurate. As she was leaving she was forced to for the first time accept life without her family of whom had been her rock for most of her life, but she was sent with her handmaiden Ilana La-Phellion of House Phellion. So it would be nothing more then Ar-Brentey her handmaiden Ilana, and a small party of men at arms to protect them when they went for a trip to a completely foreign land. Also along with her learning she begin taking the name Britt the rough translation of what her Numenorian name became in common germanic. The Journey for Brentey was extremely long, but over the time she and her best friend Ilana La-Phellion would be reading up on the history of Lucerne through several books that they had been given by James Lovie during his time in Arnor. Through this they learned the history of the Kingdom of Lucerne, but more importantly they learned all there was to know about House Lovie in book learning. During this reading she came to greatly admire her betrothed's name sake in the form of William Lovie of whom she read all about, and the relationship that he had with the dragons. She tried her very best for the situation that awaited her, and for her part was desperate to have this work not wanting to return to the anchorite but also desperately wanting a partner. 
When Brentey arrived in Lucerne James made sure to use all of his skill to manipulate the young girl into keeping her purpose their a secret. With the element of surprise still with him, he set Brentey out on a mission to seduce William, which based on his adoration at the time of Rosalie Hale made this difficult but James told her that she was not going to have a problem with Rosalie who he planned on removing from the equation.

Ezio's Work in Turnendorf
Ezio that is meeting with Deacon Marwin Nordidlon, and his first enchanter Ursella Klorindorf. The three are discussing how the situation has deteriorated quite rapidly on the mainland due to the work of the cult that has done on the population. Marwin is unwilling to send his people to join while only House Rosler remains loyal to the crown, and his main concern is that House Rosler’s leadership may break. Marwin tells Ezio that an upcoming meeting at Rosler Castle is of the most immediate concern in this regard as two prominent members of the Voiceless Angels are traveling to the castle to attempt to bring the Roslers finally to their side. Ezio is also told that a major concern is the imprisonment of the leadership of House Burnendorf, and House Telstendil both of which are keeping those houses under the control of the Voiceless. Ezio leaves the Tower of Tuhrendlor alone, but as he gets on the boat its Ursella that joins him alongside her sister the Second Enchanter Ophellia Klorindorf. Travelling to Rosler Castle its Ursella that tells Ezio the story of how she became a Magi revealing that the Voiceless Angel have a device that allows them to create Magi users out of regular people without abilities. Arriving at Rosler Castle they see a boat flying the flag of the Voiceless and know they are arriving late. Entering the castle, they are let in out of respect for the Circle of Magi and are taken to the dining hall where a feast is being held. Entering the feast, they sit down together causing quite a stir as everyone there knows that they are there to clearly resist whatever the Voicless are going to push for. The Voiceless group is sitting nearbye and one of their members who Ursella names as Astrid Flortindorf II. - of whom she knows to believe a fanatic for the Voiceless – comes over and sits with them. Ezio and Astrid talk for a time with Astrid at first attempting to get the group to support the Voceless and arguing for their moral path, but Ezio views them as rebels who cannot be bargained with and so rejects this offer. Landsgrave Thomas Rosler III. makes a speech where he points out his desire to remain loyal to the crown, but also details that he will hear out the Voiceless before making his decision. Astrid speaks in front of the room describing the situation in Turnendorf as already being over, and that she and her order are not traitors to the crown, but instead are attempting to make the lives of the people better while also wanting to reconcile with the crown. As Thomas is about to speak its Ezio that interrupts and reveals that prince William is on his way to Turnendorf and that when he arrives, he will be destroying the Voiceless and to join them would be to doom everyone. With the revelation that the prince is coming its Thomas that refuses to support the Voiceless and requests they leave the castle which they begin to do but as they do an angered Astrid taunts Thomas about his daughter Taylor having joined them. This taunting leads to a fight breaking out but as Astrid uses her Magi its Ursella that resists her leading to a duel between the two. The duel goes for a few minutes before an apparition appears in the room. The apparition shows itself as Sogronul the leader of the Vicoeless one and demands that Astrid stand down which she does. The Voiceless leave the castle after this without resistance and the apparition of Sogronul speaks to Ursella forgiving her for leaving and threatening everyone in the room with death if they do not surrender. Ezio stands up to this voice using a Magi device he carries with him to block her Magi and cause the apparition to disappear.

After watching Dylan take Mary to the girls boat its William that talks with Jasper, Edward, Emmett, and Byron about how the day went with her revealing to them that he doesn’t see anything romantic with her and thus wants her to be with Dylan. William speaks with his aunt that night telling her as well that he wants Mary to come and that he wants attempts made to make a match between Dylan and Mary if the two of them get along as well as he believes they will.  
Traveling again they make their way onto the Upper Greenhave River on their way towards the town of Sunspear Hold where William is excited because he hopes that Leven will be there. When they reach Lake Gurse its Dallia that tells William he is to meet another of the prospective betrothal options, and they stop once more. This time they dock at the town of Gursia where instead of someone new its William that is overjoyed to see Aria waiting for him on the docks. William and Aria are to spend several hours together visiting the local attraction known as the Falls of Gursia. After kissing Aria its William that feels a slight pang of guilt as he thinks on Rosalie but seeing Aria smile, he brushes this aside and the two continue kissing. William and Aria hold hands as they return to the boat, and while she joins the Betrothals boat its William that returns to his boat where the boys are all shouting and hollering as they see William and Aria holding hands.

It becomes clear to Edward in this moment that William is giving him the final decision powers and Edward wanting to help William pushes the idea of meeting with the girl. With the plan decided on it’s the Shadow Council that sneaks from the Krebville palace grounds joined by several prominent guards and heads towards the docks. Also, among this group going to the meeting are Aelfwynn Turnidlon, Tanya Denali, and Ar-Brentey Hemsworth. Arriving at the docks they find several women waiting for them. Aranna Jovinsson steps forward and thanks William for coming and then goes into the deal that she wants to make. She offers to help William in his campaign against the Order of the Voiceless Angel and in return they ask that William requests two things. Firstly, they want William to authorize the founding of a Guild for them which has been rejected up and till now because of its Magi origins. Secondly, they request that House Reinmann make House Gollwitzer an Ealdorman so that the guild would be further protected. William agrees to these demands and following this the girls swear an oath of loyalty to William and say that in the morning they will be at Krebville with a boat to join his forces in their final journey to Turnidlon. Seas to Rosler Castle
Edward, and Tanya leave the Shadow Council and join the boat of Aranna as the fleet leaves Krebville and while sad to not be with the Shadow Council he does look at this an opportunity as William told him to eventually lead a Magi guild that the two want to create once he is king. While on the boat towards Rosler Castle he is introduced to the other Magi aboard the boat in the form of Laisa, and Elissa Klorinsson, Cercilia Borisson, and Frida Scheid. The Prince ArrivesThe Meeting at TurnendorfWilliam, Edward, and Jasper join a small group of the upper command in moving from the main fleet towards the tiny lighthouse island outside of Turnendorf in order to meet with the Voiceless leader a women described as the voiceless angel. The Meeting of the Prince's FleetAfter leaving Sogronul on the island its William that discusses things with his commanders as the small boat returns to the fleet, and its Oberyn, and Benjamin that push for William to move quickly against the Voiceless and use the distraction the fleet provides to do it. Returning to the fleet its William that calls a meeting of the leadership, and while the leadership gathers its William that meets first with his Shadow Council of whom he talks openly about his position in the upcoming meeting and they each give their opinions. Following this its William that meets with Ar-Brentey of whom further pushes William to make the aggressive play in this situation. The two kiss and William tells her that he is seriously considering her idea of taking multiple wives, but tells her that while he can see himself marrying her he cannot fully agree to the multiple wives until he has discussed things with Leven. Arrival of the Circle
Following this they are surprised by the arrival of a boat carrying the flag of the Circle of Magi, and rejoining the leadership they meet with Deacon Marwin Nordidlon, alongside his First Enchanter Ursella Klorindorf. The Circle of Magi group would under the direction of Marwin swear themselves to William’s cause and this would cement in William’s mind that the aggressive approach was the proper path. Marwin would be sent to Rosler Castle to support what would be a side move to retake Nordidorf a large town controlled by the Voiceless but this attack was planned for what William timed would be after their capture of the more important Castle Telstendil. While Marwin would do this it was First Enchanter Ursella that would join his force alongside a small group of Circle members to further supplement their Magi forces, and she was assigned by William to work under his increasingly very trusted friend Aelfwynn. Battle of Castle TelstendilArriving well away from the island of Telstendil the leadership of the fleet meets on the White Dragon of the Valley and they plan out how they will take control of the island. Telstendil is defended by a series of lightly garrisoned watch towers that dot the south of the lsland on the edge of the massive bluffs that are a main feature of the island. If the guards are able to see the fleet before they are able to land troops then the element of surprise is over and the castle will be warned leading to a fleet action having to be taken and many lives lost that William is trying to avoid. In order to do this its Benjamin that details a plan where they will use the night to swim to the edge of the bluff and then use climbing tools to ascend the bluffs reaching the towers where they can easily take out the guards peacefully. William uses his leadership position to delegate command of the fleet to Oberyn Martell while he will join the climbing group led by Benjamin. The leadership group is very against him doing this due to the danger but he overrides them all and forces them to move on to the next steps of the plan. Joining William and Benjamin is Jasper, and Lyanna alongside one of Benjamin’s men named Florian Couvreur, and as the sun begins to disappear in the sky its Benjamin that attempts once more to change William’s mind on coming with him. William succeeds in convincing Benjamin of the wisdom of him coming with him, and they get into the water making the long swim towards the bluff, and during this swim it’s the group that occupies themselves as best they can but even William is fearful in the dark water. Fall of Castle TelstendilTaylor Rosler would be at Castle Telstendil when the forces of William Lovie III. attacked the town and during this battle she would be captured by the Lucernians without incident. Docking at MestilghotTaylor would be taken by the Lucernians as they moved northward and falling under the guardianship of Wuldrik Toyne she would be convinced by him to see the start of a new life and shown care for the first time in years she felt a strong pull to support the Lucernians as the days went by. Fall of TrestilgharWhile the main army Fall of the KeepThe chapter ends with William, and his elite force entering the keep of Trestilghar and entering the keep they are forced to fight against several Drakah but they outnumber the Drakah badly and the defenders are wiped out leaving William and his group to begin searching the rooms for the leadership of the town. William, Edward, Leven, Aelfwynn, Jasper, and several knights all go through the main door and find two girls who attempt to use Magi against them but Aelfwynn and Edward resist them as well as their runic armor and the girls are then restrained revealing themselves as Angels of the Voiceless One. Following the Battle of Trestilghar it was Byron that convinced Aelfwynn that Edward's Magi was a threat to William finding out that she was taken on the role of other girls so that she could be with him, and with her help he begin plans to conspire to have William send Edward southward towards Mortildorf instead of joining them at Thaig Roelet. Battle of TurnendorfEdwards Southern MarchMain Article : Battle of Mortildorf  
Greta Rosler would reach Mortildorf before the Lucernian army arrived there and taking charge of the defense of the town she would send further updates to Songronul as she prepared for the arrival of the Lucernians. Leaving the main army at the head of his force he marches at the front carriage joined in this carriage by Dylan Steinmare, and Lyanna Starke while Trent of Klorindorf rides alongside them. Edward doesn’t talk much with Dylan as they ride south, but he and Lyanna talk as they always do. Lyanna and Edward talk with Trent about where he grew up and he tells them of his childhood near Klorindorf and gives them his own opinion of the Voiceless Angels who he appears very angry at. Lyanna and Edward talk about how Edward misses Tanya and that he wants to talk with his father about a true betrothal to her. As they talk about love its Lyanna that is reluctant to get into it but it seems clear to Edward that she is talking about William when she talks about wanting someone she cannot have. During the march its Oliver Meigstrad II. and his forces that form the secondary leadership of this force as he Reigstrad forces are almost half of the overall force that Edward leads south. Not knowing Oliver well its Edward, Dylan, Oswald, and Lyanna that invite him onto their carriage which he accepts alongside his son Markus Meigstrad, and his top commander Edric JuestredAs the carriages get further down the road the commander of the scouts (find man) tells them that the road and woods are heavily scouted and that he doesn’t see a path to sneaking to the castle. Edward stops the entire force and calls all the unit commanders to the front of the carriage. Meeting together they decide that sneaking is no longer an option and thus they will reach the outskirts of the town fully prepared for battle. Reaching the break in the forest where the scout said the castle would be visible, they are met by the sight of the deployed force of the Voiceless. Several lines of Draknoid soldiers are arrayed in front of the castle and the group questions why they would deploy outside the walls instead of hunkering down for a siege. At the onset of the Battle of Mortildorf it was Trent of Klorindorf and Greta Rosler that got into an argument with Trent taunting Greta over her daughter having turned, and then Greta revealing that House Klorindorf assisted the rise of the Voiceless in exchange for the Voiceless turning many people of Klorindorf to Magi sensitives.
Enraged by the taunting of Trent it was Greta that left the battle line and engaged in a duel with Trent and defeated him before using a death Magi blow on him which led to Edward removing his ring and engaging her and despite his lack of experience his raw power overwhelmed Greta leaving her a smoking ruin. The death of Greta would cause panic in the lines of the Voiceless as she was the most senior commander there with the only other commander being the thirteen-year-old Kendra Numeterix of Morrot who briefly attempted to lead the other girls but as this panic was seen from the Lucernian lines it was Edward that ordered a charge of his forces at them. As the uncontrolled Dragonkin lashed against the control of the Voiceless it was the attacking Lucernians that cut them down leading to the Voiceless members surrendering or being hacked down by the enraged Dragonkin. Occupation of MortildorfFollowing the battle it was Edward that made quick work of establishing control of the castle and the area around it, but his main focus became the fortifying of the castle which was rundown after its occupation by the Voiceless. Edward would send scouts south of the castle towards the nearby siege of Turnendorf but they didn't reach the castle as by this point the Voiceless army was already on the march northwards. First Battle of Thaig RoeletMain Article : First Battle of Thaig Roelet  
William watches as Edward’s convoy moves southward and as he thinks on whether it was a mistake to send Edward south its Byron that comes to him and supports William on his decision. During this conversation Byron reveals that it was him that first put the idea into William’s head and thus even if it was wrong Byron makes William understand that the guilt would be spread out and not just on him. William leads the army towards Thaig Roelet, which they are approaching during the night so that they will be able to surround and prepare without the defenders becoming aware of them. Reaching a half an hour away the army sets up camp in the forest and prepares for the night where they will attack. During the day its William that meets with many people in the army buts its Leven that he really wants to speak with about her opinion on the arrangement being discussed between the four. As the camp is secured and they have time before the final meetings its William that walks with Leven into the forest and the two find a quiet spot to talk. The Night AttackThe army executes the plan and moves slowly towards the camp with the front groups reaching the wall without issue, and seeing the success of the anti-warding its William that makes the signal to climb the walls and enter the camp. As one of the front line its William that moves quietly through the camp attempting to make it as far as he can in, and this move is stopped by a young girl coming out of one of the tents. As she does its Byron that lunges at the girl covering her mouth with a rag to keep her quiet. AftermathJocelyn Nordidlon would be captured during the First Battle of Thaig Roelet and placed inside the dungeon following this battle she would very hateful towards the Order seeing it as too weak to even protect them in their own capital, and this hate would allow her to ignore the attempts by the other imprisoned leaders to keep them from assisting the Lucernians. Locking the Vault 
Alice Telstendil would be at Thaig Roelet when William Lovie arrived at the fortress and inside the actual Thaig she was forced by Astrid Flortindorf II. inside the vault to keep the staff safe despite Alice having by this point lost faith and wanting to surrender. Alice would be targeted by Wuldrik Toyne following the occupation of Thaig Roelet by William Lovie III. as she had secretly taken off her ring of protection allowing Wuldrik to recruit her to his side of attempting to break into the Vault of Thaig Roelet. As Wuldrik worked with Aelfwynn and the other Magi sensitives in Williams force to enter the Fade it was Olivia that was exposed to this by Alice Telstendil who damaged the ring of protection that Olivia Restildon had and this allowed her to be targeted in her dreams by Wuldrik who worked to turn Olivia to his side.
Olivia would go against the plan and attempted to open the vault but was stopped by Astrid who tortured Olivia and during this torture Olivia revealed that Alice Telstendil had been turned leading to a duel between the two which ended with Alice fleeing into the deeper part of the Vault. Ursella would at the urging of Angela take Leven hostage in a move that allowed several of the loyalist girls out of their cells where they were eventually cornered but not before they gained control of a Shiftstone. Confronted during this escape it was Ursella that finally gave into her doubt and turned against the Voiceless Angels releasing Leven instead of killing her but in response she would be fatally wounded by Angela.
Fight for the VaultAs the Vault of Thaig Roelet was about to the infiltrated by Wuldrik Toyne and his forces it was Astrid that attempted to stop him by removing her protective ring and engaging Wuldrik in the Fade where she was horribly over matched and despite Wuldrik attempting to take her alive she would force him to kill her. The Western MarchMain Article : Second Battle of Mortildorfhet Following the capture of Thaig Roelet it was Laisa Klorinsson II. that would lead a force westward alongside Jack Shephard towards Mortildorfhet where they knew a large number of rebel forces were being held captive by a mercenary group, and arriving at Mortildorfhet they found the guards were outnumbered immensely by the prisoners. Ella Mortikore would be still bedridden when a splinter force sent by William Lovie III. arrived at Mortildorfhet and her forces would be surrounded leading to her ordering a general surrender to the Lucernians leading to her and her forces being brought to Thaig Roelet alongside the released rebels. Ar-Brentey's Move 
As the main army moved away from Trestilghar it was Ar-Brentey and almost all of the noble girls that had accompanied the army that remained behind and for Brentey this was an isolation that she knew at this time she could not accept. Ar-Brentey free of the leadership of William would begin making adjustments to her position in the idea that for her the only people she was truly loyal to were William, Aria, and perhaps Leven. With this in mind the first move she made was to send away several of the remaining noble girls in the party to the island of Mestilghot for the on the surface purpose of more protection. The first girl that they were planning to send away was Tanya Cullen who on the surface was a close friend to the Shadow Council and the future wife of Edward Cullen. Unfortunately for Tanya it was Ar-Brentey that had joined the rising number who viewed Edward as a threat to their own position and thus in a move to further isolate him they would attempt to send Tanya to Mestilghot. Another of the girls being sent away was Alysane Mountain who seeing what was happening would decide to make a move against Ar-Brentey when she approached Dallia and told her about the offer that had been made to her about the group marriage by Ar-Brentey. Dallia would not believe Alysane at first and not wanting to believe that Ar-Brentey was conspiring in such a way she pushed forward the timeline of the girls being moved to Mestilghot and brought Ar-Brentey closer when she gave her authority over the execution of this move. One of the girls that was being sent to Mestilghot was Seri-Relisia Terrick and not wanting to be away from William she would make her move to protect herself. Relisia and Alysane had become close during the journey and thus Relisia was told by Aylsane that she was going to tell Dalia leading to Relisia following her and witnessing the conversation between Aylsane and Dallia. Having heard the truth of the conversation she would the use this information to go to Ar-Brentey and reveal that Dallia had been told of her plans with the group marriage. In order to show herself as not a threat she would tell Ar-Brenrey that she was in love with Dylan Steinmare, and had no interest in William as anything other then a friend. Ar-Brentey would make the mistake of believing that Dallia had believed the lie and was going to send her away as well and in this belief she would get the assistence of Relisia in getting aboard Dallia's boat. The Angel ArrivesSecond Battle of MortildorfMain Article : Second Battle of Mortildorf Following the defeat of the Voiceless forces at Mortildorf it was Edward that takes a small force and heads towards Thaig Roelet in persuit of Sogronul and what he knows will be the critical Second Battle of Thaig Roelet.

Removing the Old KingSee Also : William Lovie III's Takeover of Lucerne  
On the days following the liberation of Tree Hill news begin to filter into the city that William Lovie III. was on his way to Lucerne and was planning on removing his father from power. While during this time James Lovie made no effort to control the city watch so that they would defend the city, his young son Tristan Lovie did attempt to stop his entry. The liberation of Tree Hill was the moment that Tristan Lovie understood that William would return to Lucerne and attempt to remove his father, and most likely kill him as by this point there was no scenario where William couldn't have known the truth of what happened at Tree Hill. This wasn't something Tristan could allow so he begin ordering the guards of the city to prepare the defenses of the city in order to make sure that William had no way of entering the city. He mainly was giving these orders to Tavin Flynt of whom had always retained the belief that he was loyal to House Lovie first and then the Kingdom thus he made the choice to stand beside Tristan Lovie, and the King James Lovie. This decision was met with rumblings throughout the city watch as most wanted William to be victorious but Tavin had a lot of control over the top echelon of the City Watch, and most believed he had the support of his brother Janos Flynt of whom was the most influential member of the city watch. As William Lovie III. moved back towards Lucerne following the victory at Tree HIll it would be Janos Flynt that was in a position that was only a step beneath his brother Tavin Flynt of whom was running the city watch as the commander.
  Wedding of Bella, and WilliamMain Article : Wedding of Bella Swan and William Lovie III.  
While William was unknowingly to Alice engaging in a sexual relationship with Brooke Scott in Tree Hill it would be Alice that was pushing forward with plans for the wedding of William Lovie III. and her best friend Bella Swan. William would depart Tree Hill planning to go to Forks and reveal the truth to Bella but after he arrived at Forks he was met first by his sister, and Alice would be so excited that despite not wanting to marry Bella anymore he is unable to disappoint his sister of whom loves Bella deeply. Unwilling to hurt Alice William decides to goes through with the wedding despite everything in him wanting Brooke more. Attempting to find a way to not betray his promice to Brooke its William that attempts to delay the wedding, and while at first this is successful and the army of Lucerne prepares to leave for the capital. This delay is thwarted when Bella reveals that she is pregnant, and this basically forces William to marry her in order to keep from having a bastard. Thus due to the pregnancy Alice is able to delay the departure of William in order to have the wedding before he arrives in Lucerne, and thus join House Swan and House Lovie together before he leaves for Lucerne. During the wedding itself Alice watches him lie during the Vow to protect and love her for the rest of his days and following this while everyone else is screaming in excitement Alice is in a fog of which is noticed by Edward Cullen of whom holds her hand and walks with her out of the ceremony as they follow William and Bella who now married are heading towards the wedding feast. Following the ceremony she walks out and sees Lanna Lannister talking with Jasper Hale of whom is gently rubbing her arm, and following this she looks for Dylan Steinmare of whom she finds and takes him away from the party and kisses him. As they become more heated she pulls away leaving him behind, and returning to the party where she takes her seat beside William of whom holds her hand as several prominent members of the Kingdom of Lucerne say nice things about the married couple. Tristan's Failed Attempt 
Following the wedding of Bella Swan, and William Lovie III. the situation deteriorated even further as they were only a few weeks away from Lucerne but had a truly massive army with the entire Grand State of Forks behind him following the marriage. While James was absent from the leadership of his loyalists it was Tristan that continued to take the lead and while he had the support of some members of Jame's council the majority of the Circle of Magi had fled to Orleans leaving only Khadgar Morgrave, and Fredrik Gurse as Circle members in the city. House Jestife, and House Nighting remained with some strength in the city but even they saw the writing on the wall and begin shuffling their troops and people through the Hale Gate and out of Lucerne leaving the loyalists increasingly isolated inside the city. The only other power player in the city that seemed willing to listen to Tristen was Cersei Lannister and in an attempt to gain her support he would travel to the Fortress of Einhelmer. Upon reaching the fortress he saw the walls were lined with troops, and although he was let inside the walls there was some serious question as to whether they were going to fire on his party as they approached the walls. Meeting with Cersei Lannister, Bendrin Reyne, and Birgitt Mander Tristan is shocked when Cersei barely lets him speak before she rejects his call for assistance and then has her guards remove him from the fortress with a demand that he never return. Following Tristan being embarrassed at the Lannister enclave he leaves accompanied by a group of his personal men from his Order of Saint Tristan and as Ezio watched him he was screaming in anger at what happened in the Lannister enclave. Ezio would follow him and discover that he was heading towards the Fortress of Schnabel where he planned to enter Lucerne Proper and then he planned to begin killing several prominent nobles he knew were William loyalists. Ezio was able to get to these people first as he was able to use the Fortress of Theiner but each of the people he searched for appeared to have already been warned and had traveled to the numerous William aligned areas of the city. As Tristan finds those he searched for already hidden he realizes the situation and travels to the Cloud Tower to meet with his father and try to find out what he should do.
With Tristan Lovie taking the lead on the attempt to resist William he would gather to him the few remaining loyalists including Fredrik, and Polina Gurse. Fredrik, and Polina Gurse would be commanded by Tristan Lovie to gain control of the Fortress of Theiner which in the case that William was able to get through the main gatehouse they would be able to hold him off while Tristan believed his fathers allies would come to support them. With loyalists not remaining in the city in any real number it was Polina, and Fredrik that were able to gather only a few dozen men for their attempt to take the Fortress of Theiner, but Polina planned to have their Magi turn the tide. It was as they prepared to assault the fortress that Khadgar was warned of what was happening by Ezio and hearing about what his adopted son Fredrik was planning the two rushed to the fortress where they warned Lord Marwin Theiner about what was coming for him. Marwin raised his forces bringing nearly two hundred men at arms into the fortress to supplmenet the hundred already inside the walls, and with his son Florian Theiner in command of the main gate, and his daughter Lena Theiner a Magi sensitive they believed they were well prepared for the coming assault. Polina, and Fredrik arrived at the fortress and discovered that the defenders had been warned and upon seeing a fully garrisoned wall, and Marwin screaming at them from the walls it was most of the men with Polina and Fredrik that laid down their weapons and surrendered. Polina for her part did not surrender instead she begin firing Magi missiles at the gate while Fredrik used magi to shield her from the arrows and spears that were thrown at them, while their troops ran. As this happened Khadgar, and Lena would have Florian open the gate and the two would then go outside and after a brief conversation they engaged in a four way duel where Fredrik was mortally wounded and Polina used Magi to portal herself away. Khadgar would hold Fredrik as he died, and the two who had been so close for so long were able to say goodbye as Fredrik finally understood how far he had fallen.
Following the fight at the Fortress of Theiner it was Ezio that made his way to the Fortress of Schnabel where Tristan was gathering what little forces he had at due to the loyalty of Lord Adalbert Schnabel to James Lovie II. Entering the fortress using the stream of soldiers already entering he was able to find Alfred's heir Alfred who was being kept locked in his room due to his loyalty to William. Ezio would release Alfred who then gathered to him the leadership of the house that was not supportive of what Adalbert was doing and with Ezio's assistance they were able to take Adalbert into custody keeping him locked in his room while Alfred took control of the fortress.  
Meanwhile while this was happening the City Watch was becoming the main remaining battleground. Janos Flynt had by now gained the support of the vast majority of the city watch when he approached his brother with the idea of doing what was right and allowing William Lovie into the city. Janos was shocked when Tavin revealed that he was going to remain loyal to James Lovie II. and would command that the defenses resist any attempt by William to enter Lucerne. The two brothers would argue back and forth for the next week and a half with Tavin unwilling to budge and Janos becoming increasingly desperate to stop what his brother was planning. As William was several days away from Lucerne Janos Flynt would approach his brother and attempt one last time to talk him out of his decision, but despite pleading with his brother and being accompanied by the entire leadership of the city watch outside of Tavin he was unmoved. Tavin following this rejection discussed how he was preparing under the orders of Tristan to not only bar entrance but to first allow William into the tunnel where they would kill him and anyone else in the tunnel at the time. Hearing this was too much for Janos of whom begged his brother to not be insane and think of the entire Kingdom but Tavin refused him and enraged that his brother had seemingly turned on him he called on men of his guard to arrest Janos for treason, and when he did this Janos realized that there wasn't going to be any convincing him, so before he was put under arrest from the guards he unsheathed his sword and slashed his brother across the neck killing him almost instantly. At the death of Tavin the guards stood down and basically switched loyalties almost immediately, and as Janos had been the second most powerful within the City Watch he was able to cover up the death of Tavin for a time while he moved on to making sure the Watch followed his commands.
While Janos had gained control of the City Watch it was Cersei Lannister that moved from the Fortress of Einhelmer with a large force and took control of the several areas in Lucerne Proper that were resistant to William and held them under her control awaiting the arrival of William. Following this Janos would go throughout the various city watch commanders and make sure everyone was with him, and when he was sure they were he gave the command for William to be allowed into the city. William would enter through the vast gates of Lucerne alongside his force, and Tristan Lovie would watch from the first gate as his brother approached a position he believed was blocked to him. Tristan ran to the city watch command and demanded to see Tavin, but found information that Tavin had been murdered and Janos was now in charge of the city watch. Realizing he had failed to resist the entry of William Lovie he fled to the Sky Towers again forced to use the Fortress of Schnabel as the Fortress of Theiner was now under the control of William loyalists outright. Reaching the Fortress of Schnabel he found that Lord Adalbert Schnabel had been removed in favor of his heir Alfred Schnabel in what was clearly a move made due to Adalbert being pro-Tristan. For a moment there was nearly a fight but not wanting to make a move without the command of William it was Alfred that allowed Tristan inside without bloodshed, and a now very isolated Tristan moved to the Cloud Tower. Arriving at the Cloud Towers he found half the garrison was gone and only the Praetorian Guard remained at full strength and they were under the command of James and thus could not be used by Tristan. Tristan at this point placed the Order of Saint Tristan under the command of Florian Brickner and commanded that Florian attempt to get them out of the city so that they would not all die in what Tristan believed was going to be his death, with this marking one of the first moments of Tristan's life where he showed care for anything other then himself. Entering the Sky Tower 
The prince would continue making his way through the city of Lucerne, and as he did this William would gather thousands of supporters to his army marching like a massive horde towards the Sky Towers where the hundred strong garrison would prepare for their coming. Those loyalists for William who had went to the different strong points while Tristan was searching for them would come out in numbers as well joining him as he travelled through Lucerne Hold and towards the Fortress of Theiner. Reaching the Fortress of Theiner William discovered the first visible signs of the fighting that had spread across the city during the weeks preceding his arrival and meeting with the Theiner leadership he learned what had happened. Moving from there they made a direct line towards the Cloud Tower where Tristan Lovie gave the House Lovie forces the command to stop him at all costs but by this point no one was listening to him, and the order wasn't accepted by the head of the House Lovie Cloud Tower guards in Barrett Ahren. Tristan discovered that they too were unwilling to stop the prince from coming, and begged his father to tell him how they were going to get out of this but his father just sat at his desk waiting for William to enter the room. As they waited the two would have a final visitor in the form of Bill Thalmer of whom arrived with two stones and gave the stones to James before taking out a third and disappearing into nothing, and at this Tristan attempted to discover what they were but before he could they heard the sounds of the elevator as William arrived on the floor. When William entered the room he did so flanked by Leven, Alice, Hedrik, Franklin, Edward, Jasper, and Emmett and they found his father sitting at his desk writing on papers, while Tristan stood in the corner of the room looking very uncomfortable. William would accuse James of treason and make him very much aware that he was now the King in everything but name, to which James Lovie stood up and responded with the following.
Bill went on a series of rants and William rejected this logic, and prepared to arrest James and place him in jail, when all of a sudden Bill broke out into historical crying. After breaking down and crying for nearly a minute James finally begin blabbering about different things of which none appeared to make sense until finally James begin discussing the Battle of Lyons. James told William of how there were piles upon piles of bodies, and he knew that the Orcs were greater then he was. With that speech done James took out of his pocket a blue stone, and told William that the day he might bring justice against him would come at some point but it wasn't today as today he was going to leave to the safety that the stone provided. In a single moment James disappeared and teleported to the location the stone sent the user. With James gone it was just William and Tristan and the two stood transfixed at each other, and then as suddenly as a man shot with an arrow dies, Tristan went to his pocket and pulled out a green stone and then disappeared into nothing.

Nortburg Tournament of 5125Main Article : Nortburg Tournament of 5125  
Following the crowning of William Lovie III. as the new King of Lucerne he met with his council within the Lucernian capital and they went bout devising there next steps of action. Following some of the more extensive plans he met with the Shadow Council, and Jacob Vorn IV. of whom now stood as the King's Archbishop and the group would decide they needed to know more about the regions around them and also repair damage and they would do this by planning a tournament at Nortburg and invite foreign dignitaries to the tournament alongside the most influential of nobles of Lucerne. Also invited to the Tournament would be the Trachtenberg family of whom were the blood cousins of William Lovie incluing his uncle Frank Trachtenberg, and two cousins Michelle Trachtenberg, and Kristen Trachtenberg all of whom William wanted to repair relationships with most specifically with Michelle who he came to understand had been treated quite terribly by his father. The Trachtenberg side of the family had become distant due to several instances, most notably the imprisonment of Bill Lovie's cousin Katia Lovie the Matriarch of House Trachtenberg in the city of Berne. True Sons of Lucerne 
A large force under a white flag and led by Kieth Schwartz, and Alistair Bedregen arrives at the tournament ground carrying also the flag of the True Sons of Lucerne. The arrival of these True Sons would cause William himself accompanied by the Shadow Council and Charlie Swan to confront them and while at first wanting to bar them from the tournament as they were basically traitors the arrival of Hanna Arryn, and Aria Arryn would lead to William speaking privately with Hanna and Aria. Speaking to the two alongside Leven Martell, and Charlie Swan he would discover that the situation in Berne was growing completely out of control and that was why they had agreed to all the demands of Sean Lovie and had come here. Seeing that his friends were in grave danger he would agree to play along with the plans of the True Sons and allowed Danzal to take part in the tournament. Following this meeting with Hanna and Aria he would meet with Kieth Schwartz who was like an uncle to him during his childhood and the two would talk over everything that had happened with Kieth admitting to everything and for the first time giving William a true glimpse at what Bill had been going through and why he had chosen to do all the things that he had done. Another of the members of the group to come under the flag was Harrold Hardyng of whom as a dire hard member of the rebellion against Sean Lovie would sneak himself into the force with the help of Alistair and when he arrived he met with Teri-Jacob Vorn IV. and together in secret the two worked out steps for Harrold to take to help with the eventual retaking of Berne. Following the conversation between Kieth, and William Kieth would leave the tournament as he was a soldier of Bill Lovie and not Sean Lovie and did not care if the plan of Sean succeded or not, and thus he would return to Orleans where he would report to Bill Lovie about the conversation that he and William had. With the departure of Sean Lovie the remaining elements of the True Sons of Lucerne were mainly William loyalists and in this way he would meet again with Hanna but this time she introduced them to House Krinner and House Dorin of whom led by Harrold Krinner, Trailen Dorin and accompanied by prominent heirs in Danzal Krinner, and Trailen Dorin II. they would be shown to be loyalists who were more then ready to assist when the time came to destroy the forces of Sean Lovie. The RiverlandsMeeting the ElvesFollowing the Second Battle of Minus Ithil the Elves of High Forest would come to understand that the alliance between Gondor, Lucerne, and High Forest was something that they should work towards and as they followed the Lucernians into the relief of Tree Hill they would also send a large force to Nortburg to celebrate at the tournament. Alongside sending a force led by Taflarion Stormrage, and his wife Helian Stormrage, and their daughter Tonlia Stormrage, alongside her husband Cadwyr Winterdew the High Forest government back in the capital would also make several large movements for advancing the alliance itself when Malfurion Stormrage would contact the forces of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and the Atmer Empire and told the two forces that they needed to send forces to the tournament as the new king of Lucerne was someone who truly was willing to try and change things for the better. The Sindar Elven Kingdom of Quel'Thalas sends representatives in the form of Alleria Windrunner, and Marinda Oakwhisper to the tournament as well with the purpose of arranging a stronger relationship with the Kingdom of Lucerne's new King. The Atmer Empire would send members of the Atmer Elven great house in the form of the House of Finwe to the tournament and these Elves used Magi portals to enter the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas and then travelled into Lucerne alongside the force led by Alleria. These Atmer Elves would be the first of the High Elves to enter the Kingdom of Lucerne in an almost uncountable time and led by Elendil Finwe III., his daughter Alais Finwe, and sons Talais Finwe, and Anar Finwe IV. of whom have come to discuss an alliance with William and Lucerne. The Elves appear very honorable about their intentions and the talks go well, with Hedrik Clegane III. leading the negotiations with the High Elves, and despite eventually leaving it would be so successful that William would make his intentions known to them by inviting the Elves to found a small settlement in Frosthelm. The Elves like the idea and Elendil sends his sons back to Ulthuan to make the arrangements while he will accompany William for the next while. End of a Betrothal 
The Starke's had come on mass to the Tournament of Nortburg and during this time it was believed that Sansa Starke, and Joffrey Lannister would get a lot of time together to get to know eachother, and while this was true with Joffrey, and Sansa going on a walk together and having a good time, this would alter dramatically later that night. The ManderlysAs the tournament is only a few days from starting the final invitees arrive in the form of the Manderlys of whoom William meets with several representatives of the Manderlys who control the White Knife and during this conversation he and his father in law Charlie Swan are able to arrange a marriage between Winfred Manderly, and Miley Black. In this arrangement he and Charlie Swan decide that they will send Lucas Scott of whom is deemed by many to be the hero of the Siege of Tree Hill and thus someone they want to remain close too, but also William has become obsessed with Brooke Scott and thinks on her constantly believing that this will give him a chance to see her again. Arrival of Brooke Scott
Following the end of the tournament William and the group prepare to return to the capital where they will plan out the reconquest of Berne, but this changes with the arrival of Brooke Scott of whom breaks down crying in front of him as he stands with Leven, and Jasper and William quickly takes her away from the two into a back room where before he is able to say anything she reveals her stomach showing she is nearly four months pregnant from the time they last saw each other. Realizing in that moment she appears more pregnant then Bella he ponders the consequences of this but she doesn't demand anything just wishes him to help her with her grandfathers funeral. |

  Olivia Wilde would heavily support her brother Andrik following the discovery of Andrik's best friend Ellisha Jennett being sexually abused by her own brother and uncle, and this would lead to the decision to turn against House Jennnett.
  The sexual molestation of Ellisha Jennett would become the centerpiece of the destruction of House Jennett as she was beloved by Andrik Wilde of whom turned the remainder of his family against House Jennett. Invasion of FairmarketMain Article : Invasion of Fairmarket   The defence of Fairmarket was always going to be extremely difficult for the Jennett's but their hope was that if they held out long enough they would incite assistence from the Frey's and some of the Riverlanders who did not wish for annexation by Lucerne.
The leadership of Fairmarket was led by House Jennet of whom deployed their forces alongside nearly twenty thousand mercenaries hired from the Riverlands. While unreliable they gave them significant numbers and made a once easy invasion more of a problem. Eddard, Robb, and Brendan Starke led the forces of House Starke into the center of the attack. In the west Saiden, Darion, and other Scarlets led the attack but found that the forces of House Wilde and their vassals were reluctant to engage in actual conflict and were doing more retreating then anything elce. In the east the mercenarie forces of Fairmarket were joined by a small army sent from the Island of Frey of which were called freedom fighters but were sent by the Freys as an insult.   The collapse of both the eastern front, and the purposeful failure of the Wilde forces meant that the entire front was constantly in retreat for the forces of House Jennett.
With the weakest section of the Fairmarket forces standing on the eastern front, it was the objective of the Lucernians to target that area. Jamie Lannister would instigate a situation where the mercenaries would march during the day and then both armies would camp during the night both sides never exposing themselves. After five days of this the mercenaries and Freys were becoming less and less prepared for battle, and this was exploited on the sixth day when Jamie Lannister moved his men during the night. The Fairmarket forces noticed this and assembled their forces for battle, but their scouts were slacking and did not notice the divergence of the Lannister forces and focused on in front of them. While Jamie moved right at them two larger forces moved in from the sides and enveloped the Fairmarket force. After fighting for several minutes the Mercenaries accepted defeat and would surrender with little hold out fighting, while the Frey`s fled eastward back to the ships on the coast. News spread quickly but not quickly enough for the main Fairmarket force of whom was stuck in between the Starke`s and the Lannisters.  
While this was happening the Wilde family determined the time was right to change sides, and under the guidance of Olivia Wilde returned nearly all of their forces to Whellia. Back in Whellia Olivia Wilde would lead some two thousand men at arms and a hundred knights towards Fairmarket and behind all the fighting going on in the center. All of this went on while the Scarlet forces moved towards Whellia slowly as they feared they were being lured into a trap, and it was around this time that they were joined in the fight by the forces of House Lovie who were finally arriving in the area and brought overwhelming numbers. Olivia though arrived at Fairmarket, and without alerting the defenders of the Wilde turning on them would use Andrik Wilde to allow Olivia Wilde and the army of House Wilde to enter the city. Entering the city they turned on the Fairmarket forces, and burned and pillaged the town before massacring House Jennet, and taking nearly all the nobles prisoner. As this happened the forces of House Lannister arrived at the gates of Fairmarket joined by the well aware Saiden Scarlet and received the bodies of House Jennet as gifts. Saiden Scarlet would want to take the Wilde family prisoner, but Catherine Lovie had arrived and under the orders of William Lovie III. would command House Wilde spared and handed control of northern Fairmarket, while House Scarlet was given the south. Council of RiverrunMain Article : Treaty of Riverrun   Edmure Tully was headstrong in wanting to join with Lucerne.
When it came to the Riverlands the main power brokers were the most powerful house in the form of House Tully, the dominent northern house in the form of House Green, and the dominant southern house in House Blackwood. These three houses learned of the destruction of Fairmarket, and immediately the Tully`s made the decision to join Lucerne whatever was offered to them. House Blackwood would accept this as well, but many in the house wanted to resist for honor`s sake, but Brandyn Blackwood disagreed and invited the Lucernians to Raventree for a meeting. House Green led by Fadin Green was having difficulties in their north in fighting against the forces of the Deatheaters and thus was more then open to the idea of gaining a very important ally and thus in the spirit of gaining this ally Fadin would send his son and daughter to Fairmarket where they made their ideas clear. Unwilling to meet in a unknown venue such as Raventree the meeting took place in Riverrun. While this meeting was being formed it was House Keath one of the most powerful Riverlords who controlled the large Keath Islands in the southern Riverlands who go to the Lucernians at Fairmarket sending their heir and two daughters alongside several of their most powerful vassals in the form of House Butterwell, and House Vypros in order wot swear themselves into the Kingdom of Lucerne. Following the capture of Fairmarket Lord Tobben Keath would become horrified by the potential invasion of his own island and with this fear in mind he would send letters to the Lucernian forces now garrisoning Fairmarket and these letters opened up conversations about what swearing themselves to Lucerne would mean to them. The meeting in Riverrun would count in all the major houses of the Riverlands, and major elements from Lucerne including Catherine Lovie of whom led the Lovie delegation.
As the groups came together and met in order to arrange the alliance it would be a clear divide during the meetings about how House Tully, and most of the Riverlanders were very receptive to the words of Lucerne, with really only House Hantoway of the Western Islands of Hantoway, and secondly House Graege from the south western Islands of Greage providing any kind of resistance against the Kingdom of Lucerne's plans. Very similar to the current situation in the Riverlands it was decided that the Riverlands would become a Grand State of Lucerne with House Tully forming the Arch Lord of the Riverlands and gaining a seat at Lucerne, while the Riverlords would continue to be known as Riverlords but all fall within the Grand State of the Riverlands. Realizing that their resistance was going to mean little due to the agreement of House Tully, House Blackwood, House Keath, House Justman, House Goodbrooke, and House Lancer the leaders of House Hantoway, and House Graege would storm from the meeting to return to their seats with the belief that they would declare their independance from there. It was during this meeting that the true scope of what the Deatheaters were would become known to the Lucernians as led by the words of Seth Green the violence and chaos that had come with the arrival of the Deatheaters was detailed. Also during the meeting it was Harras Handlin that made the point of joining for the mutual protection of everyone against the increasing hostility of the Iron Islands of whom had started reaving against the lands of House Handlin as well as many other Riverland areas. Invasion of the Hantoway'sMain Article : Invasion of Hantoway The moment that House Hantoway, and House Graege stormed from the meeting it was decided by the Lucernian counterparts of the meeting that there resistence had to be stomped out immediatly and this took the form of House Proudmoore, and House Scarlet and all of their forces taking a Kul Tiras fleet and invading the Island of Hantoway.

The Green Riverlord 
William invited Michelle to every dinner that House Lovie was hosting from that day forth until she was to leave for the Riverlands, and over this time she begin to grow once again close to Alice, and also grew close to Bella Lovie as they both gave her a chance, and in these moments Michelle became even more loyal to her cousin William who had seemingly given her life back to her. She also begin to rebuild her reputation during this time, and since her mother was uninterested in becoming involved with her, and her sister wouldn't help she was trained for her coming mission by the wife of the leading Lord on the issue in the form of Catelyn Starke. As it would be House Starke that made the direct move into the forces of House Green Michelle would say goodbye to her family shedding tears as she truly loved William, Marcel, Alice and Bella for everything that they had done for her, and following this goodbye she would travel to Stormwind. Living in Stormwind as the lady in waiting for Catelyn Starke she came to see Catelyn as the mother she had never really known, and this relationship became extremely strong over the three months that she spent in Stormwind in the care of House Starke. All the preparation for herself was only one element with the next element being her needing to know everything there was to know about Seth Green and through this she learned that the young noble was an avid lover of books, and described by many as a boring but kind young man who loved his family. The Riverlands 
She would accompany Eddard Starke into the Riverlands during the negotiations and her presentation to Lord Fadin Green was seen as very important and she did everything she could to make sure she was seen as the perfect person to become the Lords daughter in law. Despite Michelle Trachtenberg being sent by William Lovie III. the king of Lucerne himself she was also joined by three other eligible girls (find girls) of whom were attempting to persuade lord Fadin Green that they were the best option for Seth Green to marry. Michelle would find her preparation worked brilliantly as she didn't treat Seth Green as the other noble girls around him did when she didn't treat him like a knight but instead treated him as an intellectual. Her training at the Lucernian Academy had led to her high knowledge base and for this reason she wasn't at a loss of intelligent conversation to have as the other girls for him had always been. Following the third dinner the young Seth Green would tell his father that he wanted her as his wife, and that he would not take anyone else. Her success and acceptance into House Green would allow her to repair all the damage that had been done to her reputation throughout the years, and she grew happy for the first time in many years. |

- -Steve Lane
Steve Lane and Michelle Trachtenberg would come to meet eachother when she was sent to the House Lovie estate to get away from all her problems in Lucerne Hold. While there the two would bond over their similar interestes and fall in love. Their relationship was a strong one that lasted for nearly a year before it ended when he left for The Journey and she was menipulated into having sexual relationships (they were basically a forced consentual rape) with many nobles. When he discovered this he was so hurt that he ignored the fact that he still loved her and said he no longer wanted to see her. He continued to love her, and she continued to love him, but they seperated and she returned to Lucerne after exhausting all the things she could think of to try and get him back. During the Invasion of Westbridge he met her in Riverrun and the two would sleep together again, and this was while she was engaged to Seth Green, and she finds out she is pregnant at the end of the comic Darkness of Kul Tiras and she knows that the child is Steve's but she is forced by Marcel Lovie to keep that a secret. She tells Steve though despite what she was told to do, and this causes him to rethink how much he loves her, and he eventually decides to fight for her to the detriment of the diplomatic situation with House Green.
