	~~A ''Song~~ of ~~Ice and Fire'' is set primarily in~~ the fictional ~~Seven Kingdoms~~ of [[~~Westeros~~]], ~~a large, South American-sized continent with~~ an ancient history ~~stretching back some twelve~~ thousand years. ~~A detailed history reveals how seven~~ kingdoms ~~came to dominate this continent~~, and ~~then how these seven nations were united as one by Aegon~~ the ~~Conqueror~~, of [[~~House Targaryen~~]]. ~~Some 283 years~~ after [[~~Aegon's Conquest~~]], the ~~Targaryens~~ are ~~overthrown in a civil war and~~ King [[Robert ~~I Baratheon~~]]~~, backed primarily by his friend Lord~~ [[~~Eddard Stark~~]] and ~~foster father Lord~~ [[~~Jon Arryn~~]]~~, takes~~ the ~~Iron Throne. The novels, which begin fifteen years later, follow the fall-out from this event across three major storylines, set not only in Westeros but on the eastern continent as well~~.		The initial chapters of the Forsaken Saga series predominantly discuss the kingdoms located on the fictional continent of [[Wesyrim]], which is nearly half the size of Asia and has an ancient history spanning over thirteen thousand years. These kingdoms include the [[Kingdom of Harrigton]], the [[Kingdom of Riverlands]], and the [[Kingdom of Aston]]. Previously, the continent was ruled under the dominion of the [[Wesyrim Empire]], but a new era began nearly three centuries ago following the empire’s collapse. The series begins in the 275th year of the [[Era of Salvation]], which started after the fall of the [[Wesyrim Empire]]. The kingdoms on the continent are ruled by King [[Andes Harrigton\|Andes VI Harrigton]] of the [[Kingdom of Harrigton]], King [[Robert Lorance\|Robert III Lorance]] of the [[Kingdom of Riverlands]], and King [[Anrah Ross\|Anrah IV Ross]] of the [[Kingdom of Aston]].

	The first ~~storyline, set in~~ the ~~Seven Kingdoms themselves, chronicles a many-sided struggle for~~ the ~~Iron Throne that develops after King Robert's death. The throne is claimed by his son~~ [[~~Joffrey Baratheon\|Joffrey~~]]~~, supported by his mother's powerful family~~, [[House ~~Lannister~~]]. ~~However~~, ~~Lord Eddard Stark, King Robert~~'~~s Hand, finds out Robert~~'~~s children are illegitimate~~, ~~and that~~ the throne ~~should therefore fall to the second of the three Baratheon brothers,~~ [[~~Stannis Baratheon\|Stannis~~]]~~. The charismatic and popular youngest brother~~, [[~~Renly Baratheon\|Renly~~]]~~, also places a claim, openly disregarding~~ the ~~order of precedence, with the support of the powerful~~ [[~~House Tyrell~~]]~~. While the claimants battle~~ for ~~the Iron Throne~~, [[~~Robb Stark~~]], ~~Lord Eddard Stark's heir~~, is ~~proclaimed King in the North as the northmen and their allies in the Riverlands seek to return to self-rule~~. ~~Likewise~~, [[~~Balon Greyjoy~~]] ~~also (re-)claims the ancient throne of his own region~~, the ~~Iron Islands~~, ~~with an eye toward independence. This so-called~~ [[~~War of the Five Kings~~]] is ~~the principal storyline of the first four novels; indeed, the fourth novel primarily concerns Westeros's recovery from it~~ in the ~~face of the coming winter~~ and the ~~political machinations of those seeking~~ to gain in its aftermath. In the wake of the war, four of the five self-proclaimed kings have been killed, leaving Stannis as the sole survivor. The Iron Throne is currently held by Tommen Baratheon, allegedly Robert's ~~son, but illegitimate too~~. ~~His former regent, Cersei Lannister has been deposed and imprisoned in~~ King~~'s Landing by the Faith. Stannis and his army~~, ~~having gained little support from the Great Houses of Westeros~~, ~~are presently at the Wall~~, ~~far~~ to ~~the north where Stannis seeks~~ to ~~protect the realm from the threat of invasion, and simultaneously win the favor of the northern strongholds~~.		The first theme of the story describes events that shape the destiny of the royal family of the [[Kingdom of Aston]], [[House Ross]]. It has been twenty-three years since King [[Anrah Ross]], known as '<nowiki/>''Royalgriffin''<nowiki/>', ascended to the throne after ending his father's reign through a rebellion. Queen [[Alissa Pansymon]], for whom [[Anrah Ross]] started the [[Royalgriffin Rebellion]], has fallen ill for unknown reasons, has been in a deep sleep for weeks, and is on her deathbed. Princess [[Lena Ross\|Lena]], their young daughter, is accompanying her mother. Meanwhile, King [[Anrah Ross\|Anrah]]’s eldest son and heir, known as the '<nowiki/>''Exile Prince''', [[Rhael Ross]], is in exile in [[the Marches]] and is on his way back to the capital to potentially attend his mother's funeral. [[Anrah Ross\|King Anrah]]’s eldest daughter, [[Miane Ross]], is dealing with her mother’s impending death in her own way, trying to come to terms with this reality.

	The second ~~storyline is set on~~ the ~~extreme northern border~~ of ~~Westeros. Here~~, ~~many thousands~~ of ~~years ago~~, ~~a huge wall~~ of ~~ice and gravel was constructed by both magic and labor~~ to ~~defend Westeros from~~ the ~~threat~~ of the [[~~Others~~]]~~, a race of now-mythical creatures living in the uttermost north~~. ~~This Wall, 300-mile-long, 700-foot-tall, is defended and maintained by the Sworn Brotherhood of the~~ [[~~Night's Watch~~]]~~, whose duty~~ is to ~~guard~~ the kingdom against the ~~Others. By~~ the ~~time of the novels, the Others have not been seen in over 8,000 years, and the Night~~'~~s Watch has devolved into essentially a penal colony: it is badly under-strength, manned primarily by criminals and refugees, with only a few knights~~ or ~~men of honor to stiffen them~~, ~~and spends most~~ of ~~its time dealing with the human "wildlings" or "free folk" who live beyond the Wall~~. ~~This storyline is told primarily through~~ the ~~eyes~~ of [[~~Jon Snow~~]], [[~~bastardy\|bastard~~]] ~~son~~ of ~~Lord~~ [[~~Eddard Stark~~]], ~~as he rises through the ranks of the Watch, learns the true nature of the threat from the north~~, and ~~prepares to defend the realm~~, ~~even though the people of Westeros~~ are ~~too busy warring~~ to ~~send support. By the end of the third volume,~~ this ~~storyline is somewhat entangled with the civil war to the south~~.		The second theme takes place in the northwestern lands of the [[Kingdom of Aston]], within the [[Kingdom of Harrigton]]. A knight, commander of the [[Shadow Cloaks]]—a brotherhood sworn to King—[[Addamd Rowdark]] witnesses the clash of powers that govern the kingdom following the awakening of Prince [[Willian Harrigton]] from [[deepsleep]]. Prince [[Willian Harrigton\|Willian]] is also rallying his supporters to defend the kingdom against the raiders known as ''the islanders'' or [[Morne Marauders]], who are invading [[Kingdom of Harrigton\|Harrigton]]'s northern shores. In the only city of [[Harrigton]], [[Darkmare]], a group of friends made up of orphans and street children, led by [[Bugg]], [[Pate]], and [[Maslan]], are trying to survive amidst all this chaos.

	The third ~~storyline is set on the huge eastern continent of Essos~~, ~~across the narrow sea~~, ~~and follows the adventures of~~ [[~~Daenerys Targaryen~~]], the ~~last scion of~~ [[~~House Targaryen~~]] in exile and another claimant to the Iron Throne. Daenerys's adventures showcase her growing ability as she rises from a pauper sold into a dynastic marriage to a barbarian warlord to a powerful and canny ruler in her own right. Her rise is aided by the birth of three dragons, ~~creatures thought long extinct, from fossilized eggs given to her as wedding gifts. Because her family standard~~ is ~~the dragon, these creatures are of symbolic value before they have grown big enough to be of tactical use. Though her story is separated from the others~~ by ~~many thousands of miles, her stated goal is to reclaim~~ the ~~Iron Throne~~.		The third theme involves a noble, exiled knight, [[Seth Aldmont]], who, after the brotherhood he served as a mercenary for was massacred by the [[Morne Marauders]], is captured by the islanders. Enduring torture and humiliation, [[Seth Aldmont]] struggles to survive and live under the captivity of the raiders.

	~~The eponymous song of ice~~ and ~~fire is mentioned only once in the series~~, ~~in a vision Daenerys sees in ''A Clash of Kings'': "He is the prince that was promised, and his is~~ [[~~the song of ice and fire~~]]", spoken by a Targaryen (probably Daenerys's dead older brother [[Rhaegar Targaryen]]) about his infant son named Aegon. It is implied that there is a connection between the song, the promise, and Daenerys herself. This is established more clearly in ''A Feast for Crows'', when Aemon Targaryen identifies Daenerys as the heir that was promised. The phrase "ice and ~~fire" is also mentioned in~~ the ~~Reeds' oath of loyalty to Bran in ''A Clash~~ of ~~Kings''. However, the song and the promise are never mentioned again, and~~ the ~~song itself remains a mystery~~.

	'''''A Song of Ice and Fire''''' (commonly abbreviated as '''ASoIaF''') is an ongoing series of [[w:High fantasy\|epic fantasy]] novels by American novelist and screenwriter [[George R. R. Martin]]. Martin began writing the series in 1991 and the first volume was published in 1996. Originally planned as a trilogy, the series now consists of five published volumes; a further two are planned. In addition there are three prequel novellas currently available, with several more being planned, and a series of novella-length excerpts from the main Ice and Fire novels.

As the ~~series progresses~~, the ~~three story lines become increasingly interwoven and dependent upon each other~~.

Although the Forsaken Saga series has not yet been officially published, it is a novel series that continues to be published in stages online. While it is planned to have seven books, this number may change in the future. The first book of the series, '[[Winds of Night]],' is currently in the writing stage and is being published on RoyalRoad, Wattpad, and ForsakenSaga.com.

Forsaken Saga is set in a fictional universe and falls under the fantasy novel genre, specifically described as low-fantasy. It is written from the perspectives of different characters, varying from chapter to chapter, which can sometimes mislead the reader due to varying character perspectives and objectivity. The chapters are written either from a third-person or an omniscient viewpoint.

Besides 'Winds of Night,' which is still being written, the names of the second book 'Reign of Blood' and the final book 'Tears of Dawn' have been decided for the series.
