Recent Events

A Feast For Crows

Dragonkin is one of the stack of books that Samwell Tarly brings up from the library beneath Castle Black, along with the Jade Compendium which Maester Aemon had commanded him to find. [1]

Making his way toward the armory Sam drops both books as he goes to catch Gilly by the arm. After talking with her briefly he goes down on his knees to gather up the books. The Jade Compendium is undamaged but Dragonkin had come open as it fell, and a few pages had gotten muddy, including one with a rather nice picture of Balerion the Black Dread done in coloured inks.

Sam curses himself for a clumsy oaf as he smooths the pages down and brushes them off. He delivers the stack of books from the library to Maester Aemon's chambers.
