Sneak peak at potential Baelor fic (the dilf propaganda got to me)
"No one quite agreed on which rumours to believe about Artemisia Arryn, and perhaps that was precisely how she preferred it. Some said that she liked to sail the Narrow Sea in the company of Braavosi sea lords, and that she had raced zorses with the Jogos Nhai beneath the pitiless eastern sun of the plains. Others insisted she had studied the hidden arts of healing in Asshai, learning to coax life from the brink with tinctures and trouble.
Then there were the more outlandish tales. That she had lost some of her fingers in a wager with a Yitish merchant or that they had been taken instead by a Bolton blade in the North, after a gamble gone poorly in a hall hung with flayed skins. She had apparently also hunted krakens off the Iron Islands beside a Greyjoy captain half in love with her, and in Myr, she was rumoured to have apprenticed herself to a master lensmaker.
The stories contradicted one another freely, and no one knew what was truth and what was exaggeration. Thus, it was no small surprise when word spread through King’s Landing that she had returned to Westeros at all, but she was simply there at the behest of her cousin, Lady Alys Arryn, who had beseeched her to attempt her foreign tonics upon the ailing Prince Rhaegel.
And for Artemisia, who collected titles as other women collected jewels—sailor, scholar, heretic, witch, wanderer—healer to dragons would be just another to add to the never ending list of who she was."
