How would you make this sound intriquing and interesting, i kinda want this to sound intriquing and dramatic but also interesting to the readers, you know?
The year is 298 AC, the seventeenth year of King Robert's reign, he led the realm into peace and prosperity after ending the 283 year rule of House Targaryen and upsurping the throne from the Mad King, however even when he did lead the realm into peace and prosperity he had also led the crown into bankruptcy and in debt with House Lannister.
Tragedy had come when King Robert's hand, Lord Jon Arryn, had perished from a terrible fever or so everyone believes but Lady Lysa Arryn had fled King's landing moment's after her husband's death and so King Robert begun his search for a replacement as Hand of the King and he chose his closes thing he had to a brother, even when he had two other brothers, he went North with his family......
And so begins the song of Ice and Fire.
