At his signal, Commander Bronn of the City Watch of King's Landing ignites the wildfire with a flaming arrow, resulting in a tremendous explosion that obliterates the leading elements of Stannis's fleet, including Davos's flagship, flinging Davos overboard into the bay, and killing his son Matthos in the process. Instead, Tyrion has a single uncrewed ship filled with wildfire and sends it to leak the substance directly into the bay. However, the royal fleet proves to be absent, Tyrion having commanded it to leave the area, to Joffrey's incomprehension, rather than be sunk. The original plan was to destroy the royal fleet and land troops under the city walls. Stannis's fleet, commanded by Davos, swept into Blackwater Bay and approached the city. ' Come with me and take this city!' ―Stannis Baratheon rallies his troops without the need of speeches. At the same time, Littlefinger negotiated a fresh alliance between House Lannister and House Tyrell. However, when Robb launched an invasion of the Westerlands instead, drawing close to Casterly Rock, Tywin decided to move his army. With Robb Stark's forces poised in the west, Tywin was unwilling to leave his defensive position at Harrenhal, fearing being attacked from the rear. Cersei planned to level the field through the use of wildfire, a dangerous and highly destructive substance that she had made en masse that Tyrion would later use for the battle. However, most of their manpower had been drawn north to fight the Starks in the Riverlands, leaving the city walls undermanned.

With King's Landing in danger, Tyrion made preparations to withstand siege. On the advice of his loyal vassal and future Hand, Davos Seaworth, he decided not to take Melisandre with him to King's Landing, concerned that the victory would be credited to her and not himself. Nevertheless, having also secured an alliance with the sellsail captain Salladhor Saan, Stannis was confident of victory.

However, he failed to win the allegiance of House Tyrell, who withdrew their large army from the field and returned to Highgarden. With the help of Melisandre, a Red Priestess from Asshai, Stannis has Renly assassinated, and secured the loyalty of many of the lords sworn to him. Boromir travels towards Rivendell to ask for counsel.Upon claiming the Iron Throne, Stannis Baratheon realized he lacked the manpower needed to take King's Landing.Gandalf is held captive by Saruman on the pinnacle of Orthanc.2017 - Omentielva Otsea - the Seventh International Conference on Tolkien's Invented Languages at California State University, East Bay.2014 - Mythcon 45 in Wheaton College, Massachusetts.2013 - Omentielva Lempea - 5th International Conference on Tolkien's Invented Languages in Helsinki, Finland.2011 - Omentielva Cantea - 4th International Conference on Tolkien's Invented Languages in Valencia, Spain.2007 - Omentielva Tatya - 2nd International Conference on Tolkien's Invented Languages in Antwerp, Belgium.2005 - The Tolkien Society's Tolkien 2005 conference in Birmingham, England.
