Rowan Gold-Tree

Rowan Gold-Tree is a legendary daughter of Garth Greenhand.  According to legend, she was so bereft when her lover left her for a rich rival that she wrapped an apple in her golden hair and planted it upon a hill.  From the apple grew a tree whose bark, leaves and fruit were yellow gold.  House Rowan traces its roots to Rowan's daughters.  In some tales of the Reach, Lann the Clever was a bastard born to Rowan or her sister Florys the Fox.[1]
