Aeron Greyjoy
George R. R. Martin's ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' saga features a large cast of characters. The series follows three interwoven plotlines: a dynastic war for control of Westeros by several families; the rising threat of the undead White Walkers beyond the northern border of Westeros; and the ambition of Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled heir of the previous ruling dynasty. In Martin's fictional world, the Great Houses of Westeros represent the Seven Kingdoms which exist on the continent: the North, the Iron Islands, the Vale of Arryn, the Westerlands, the Stormlands, the Reach, and Dorne. A massive wall of ice and old magic separates the Seven Kingdoms from the largely unmapped area in the most northern portion of the continent. Each chapter is narrated in the third-person limited narrative, third-person limited point of view (literature), point of view through the eyes of a single character. Beginning with nine POV characters in ''A Game of Thrones'' (1996), a total of A Song of I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pandora's Tower
is an action role-playing game developed by Ganbarion and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The game was released in Japan in May 2011, in PAL territories in April 2012 and in North America by Xseed Games in April 2013. Focusing on the efforts of protagonist Aeron to rid his love Elena of a curse that is turning her into a monster, the player explores thirteen towers, solving environmental puzzles and taking part in platforming while battling enemies—a key part of gameplay is the Oraclos Chain, a weapon that aids in both combat and navigation. Depending on the strength of Aeron's relationship with Elena, multiple endings can be reached. Development began in 2006 following the completion of ''Jump Ultimate Stars'' as Ganbarion's first original title. The main concept was born from the desire to create a game scenario based around purification and love. Character numbers and plot twists were kept to a minimum to focus attention on Elena's plight. Due to recurring problems impl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aeron (kingdom)
Aeron was a kingdom of the Brythonic-speaking ''Hen Ogledd'' (), presumed to have been located in the region of the River Ayr in what is now southwestern Scotland.Bromwich, p. 157. It existed during the post-Roman era, perhaps earlier, and disappeared before or during the 7th-century conquest of the region by the ascendant Kingdom of Northumbria. Aeron is incidentally mentioned in the ''Book of Taliesin'' in poems of praise to Urien of Rheged. It is the homeland of several heroes in the ''Book of Aneirin''. The families of several of these heroes also appear in royal genealogies associated with the genealogies of the better-known kings of Alt Clut who lived in southwestern Scotland. This, taken together with the phonetic similarity of ''Aeron'' and ''Ayr'', suggests the location of Aeron.Williams, p. xlvii. There are no historical records confirming its history or even its existence, only literary references combined with circumstantially consistent genealogies and incidental ...

Nova Aeron
A nova ( novae or novas) is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star (hence the name "nova", Latin for "new") that slowly fades over weeks or months. All observed novae involve white dwarfs in close binary systems, but causes of the dramatic appearance of a nova vary, depending on the circumstances of the two progenitor stars. The main sub-classes of novae are classical novae, recurrent novae (RNe), and dwarf novae. They are all considered to be cataclysmic variable stars. Classical nova eruptions are the most common type. This type is usually created in a close binary star system consisting of a white dwarf and either a main sequence, subgiant, or red giant star. If the orbital period of the system is a few days or less, the white dwarf is close enough to its companion star to draw accreted matter onto its surface, creating a dense but shallow atmosphere. This atmosphere, mostly consisting of hydrogen, is heated by th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
