Escape from the Dun Fort<\/h1>\n

A ser Barristan Selmy adventure in the A Song of Ice and Fire mitology, the fantasy universe created by the genius of Gorge R.R. Martin<\/span><\/h2>\n

A moment of the Defiance of Duskendale<\/h3>\n

The deeds of ser Barristan the Bold<\/strong> are the stuff of legends:
\nI wanted to draw a younger version of ser Barristan Selmy<\/strong> and it struck me his image, sword in hand, over a pile of dead bodies, the Dun Fort<\/strong> tower of the fortified town of Duskendale<\/strong> and king Aerys II<\/strong> at his back!<\/p>\n

Historically the events of the Defiance of Duskendale<\/strong><\/em> took place during the reign of king Aerys II Targaryen in 277 AC.
\nKing Aerys was imprisoned in the Dun Fort dungeons, after being captured by lord Darklyn and Denys’s master-at-arms, ser Symon Hollard.
\nLord Tywin Lannister was outside the castle walls with the royal army demanding the release of the king upon the menace of storming the castle and putting everyone inside to the sword.
\nSer Barristan asked permission to try a last minute rescue attempt, and lord Tywin conceded him 24 hours before attacking; so, the knight performed one of the most incredible of all his legendary deeds.
\nHe concealed himself under a cloack as a hooded beggar, scaled the castle walls under the cover of night, then scaled the Dun Fort walls as well, and fought his way to free king Aerys from the dungeons.
\nWhile bringing the king to safety, he avenged his sworn brother, Ser Gwayne Gaunt, by slaying his killer, ser Symon Hollard, as well as other guards who tried to stop him.<\/p>\n

The moment he emerged from the Dun Fort tower is depicted in this drawing.<\/p>\n

The complete story is narrated at the Westeros.org<\/strong><\/em> web site:
