The Gale Tower stood at the end of the Boneway, on the northern side of the Wyl River. It was the last watchtower under Blackhaven’s control. Beyond it, further south, lay the Wyl River, marking the boundary of the territory controlled by Wyl Castle.
From the top of the Gale Tower, one could clearly see the Wyl River ...

Lynd and Nymeria had been in Blackhaven for three days. Much like in Summerhall, their stay was leisurely. Aside from exploring the surroundings, they spent most of their time in their room.
It wasn’t due to boredom but rather the abnormalities affecting both Glory and the dragon egg, which dampened their enthusiasm f...

The voices of the Aurors outside reached them in the tent. Charlie let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn’t resist lifting his foot to give Malfoy a swift kick.

The situation had changed so swiftly that, in the blink of an eye, the hooded wizards who once held the advantage were now sprawled across the ground, utterly defeated and incapable of fighting back.

The group, already packed, burst out of the tent at Mr. Weasley’s command. The once jubilant camp was now filled with panicked screams and utter chaos. The sky seemed darker than before, as if a thick, oppressive fog had swallowed the stars.

While Lynd remained in Blackhaven, awaiting Beric Dondarrion's response to the Covenant of Defense and Offense, unusual changes began to unfold in the Dornish Marches north of the Wyl.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Beric Dondarrion,” said Lynd, setting down the goblet in his hand and looking at the Lightning Lord, who was not much older than himself and still had a slightly immature appearance. “I think we should get down to business.”

Fred and George’s hope for a five-day match wasn’t to be. About an hour into the game, Lynch from the Irish team spotted the Golden Snitch—and so did Krum. The tiny, golden-winged ball hovered just five feet above the ground.
Both Seekers accelerated, diving at breakneck speed.
“They’re going to crash!...

After introducing the players, Ludo Bagman turned to announce the match referee: the President of the International Association of Quidditch—a short, wiry wizard. Amidst loud cheers, he strode onto the pitch, a large wooden case clutched under his arm. As he took his position, the crowd fell silent, holding their breath.

After leaving the camp, Lynd found a relatively narrow spot on the moat, leapt into the air, and activated the Storm Dragon rune embedded in the Banished Knight's greatsword. A powerful hurricane materialized, propelling Lynd several meters forward before he landed firmly on the grassy bank on the opposite side of the moat.
