House Dustin

### Coat of Arms

Two Rusted Long Axes with Black Shafts Crossed, a Black Crown Between Their Points, on Yellow

### Region

The North

**House Dustin** is a noble house from The North, one of the major families sworn to House Stark. Their castle is Barrow Hall in Barrowton, a prominent town in the north.

Their arms portray two rusted long axes with black shafts crossed, a black crown between their points, on yellow. The rusted crown on their arms derives from their claim of descent from the First King and the Barrow Kings that followed him.

## **History:**

The Dustin's claim descent from the First King of the First Men and the Barrow Kings of The Barrowlands who ruled after him. When the last Barrow King submitted to House Stark of Winterfell at the end of the Thousand Years War, the King of Winter took his daughter for wife. House Dustin's claims of shared blood and descent from the Barrow Kings is regarded as truth. Barrowton has prospered under The Dustin's, who have loyally ruled The Barrowlands for the Starks.

During his progresses across The Seven Kingdoms, King Aegon I Targaryen held court at Barrowton twice during his reign. Denys Snow, the Bastard of Barrowton, joined Prince Aegon the Uncrowned against his uncle, King Maegor I Targaryen, though Denys and the prince perished in the Battle Beneath The Gods Eye.

When King Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne Targaryen visited Barrowton on their royal progress in The North Lord Dustin showed them The Great Barrow and honoured them with a small tourney. Alysanne held a women's court in the town.

House Dustin supported Princess Rhaenys Targaryen in the Great Council at Harrenhal. When The Dance of the Dragons broke out, while Lord Cregan Stark gathered the north's bannermen, Lord Roderick Dustin led two thousand northern soldiers, known as the Winter Wolves, to fight for Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her blacks.

Roderick led his northman in several victories against King Aegon II Targaryen's greens, most notably against the Westermen in the Battle by The Lakeshore and in the Butcher's Ball, where Lord Dustin led the charge in the battle that claimed the life of Ser Criston Cole. In the First Battle of Tumbleton, Roderick led the remnants of his Winter Wolves against the Hightower host. In the ensuring clash, Dustin was mortally wounded by Ser Bryndon Hightower, but The Lord of Barrowton succeeded in slaying Bryndon and Lord Ormund Hightower before succumbing to his wounds.

House Dustin fought for House Targaryen during The War of the Ninepenny Kings. Brandon Stark, heir to Lord Rickard Stark, was fostered at Barrowton by old Lord Dustin, though he spent most of his time in The Rills. Though Lord Rodrik Ryswell sought to wed his daughter Barbrey to Brandon, she would end up marrying Lord Willam Dustin, the son of the old Lord of Barrowton.

## **Family:**

* Lord Willam Dustin, Lord of Barrowton.
	+ Lady Barbrey Dustin, of House Ryswell, his wife and Lady of Barrowton.
Needle

**Needle** is a thin sword wielded by Arya Stark. It was given to her by her cousin, Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen, who had it made by Mikken, the blacksmith of Winterfell.

## **Appearance**:

The sword is well suited to Arya's slight build, which prevents her from fighting in the style of large male Westerosi knights, who employ powerful slashing moves and strong blocks using a heavy sword.

Instead, Arya and Needle are much better suited to the "Water Dance" style of fencing popular in Braavos and other Free Cities, which emphasizes speed and agility with a thin, light small sword used in quick thrusting attacks.
Myrcella Baratheon

**Myrcella Baratheon** was commonly thought to be the only daughter of Lord Robert Baratheon and Lady Cersei Lannister. However, like her brothers, Joffrey and Tommen, her real father is Jaime Lannister, making her a bastard born out of incest.

## **Appearance and Character:**

Myrcella has golden curls, emerald eyes, and full lips. Myrcella is delicate, beautiful, and courteous. For her age, she displays courage, a strong will, and high intelligence.

Described as "sweet and innocent" by Tyrion Lannister, Myrcella is effectively the complete opposite of Cersei and Joffrey. While Joffrey is a villainous psychopath, Myrcella, much like her other brother, Tommen, is a kind and caring individual. She has a sweet and quiet disposition and is fond of her uncle Tyrion Lannister.

## **History:**

Myrcella is commonly thought to be the only daughter of Lord Robert Baratheon and Lady Cersei Lannister. Cersei and Robert married to seal a political alliance between House Baratheon and House Lannister.

Myrcella has an older brother, Joffrey, and a younger, Tommen, with whom she was close. The real father of all three children is Jaime Lannister, her uncle (Cersei's twin brother) and a member of the Kingsguard, making them bastards born of incest. However, like her siblings and the rest of Westeros, Myrcella had no idea of the truth of her parentage at the time.
Ghost

**Ghost** is one of six direwolf pups that are found by the children of House Stark and Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen.

He is adopted and raised by Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen. Ghost is an albino with white fur and red eyes. Though he was the runt of the litter when he was born, he quickly grew to be as big as the rest of his siblings.

He receives his name from Jon because of his fur colour and the fact that he never makes a sound. The direwolf does not whine or howl, but sometimes bares his teeth in a silent snarl. Jon has noted that Ghost's red eyes are similar to the faces on weirwood heart trees carved by the children of the forest.

Ghost enjoys tugging Jon's hand back and forth as a game, and also enjoys rolling in fresh snow.
House Flint of The Mountains

**House Flint of The Mountains** is the formal name given to the mountain clan of the Flints of The North who inhabit the high mountains north of The Wolfswood.

## **History:**

It is possible that the Flints of the mountains are the same as House Flint of Breakstone Hill, who ruled as First Men kings after the Long Night until being reduced to vassalage by the Kings of Winter, House Stark of Winterfell.

Lord Commander Rodrik Flint is regarded as one of the worst commanders of The Night's Watch, for trying to make himself King-Beyond-the-Wall. One of the dark legends surrounding The Nightfort is the rape and murder of brave young Danny Flint.

A branch of House Flint held The Wolf's Den for a century after the extinction of the Greystarks.

The Flints of the hills aided Lord Cregan Stark in hunting down The Free Folk raiders of Sylas the Grim.

Lord Eddard Stark's maternal grandmother, Arya Flint, was a Flint from the mountains. Old Nan used to say to Bran Stark that it was her blood that made him climb so foolishly.

Quentyn Martell

Prince **Quentyn Martell**, is a knight from House Martell. he is the second child and eldest son of Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne, and Lady Mellario of Norvos.

He has two siblings, an older sister, Princess Arianne Martell and a younger brother, Prince Trystane Martell.

## **Appearance and Character:**

Quentyn is short-legged and stocky, thickly built, with a plain face, brown hair, brown eyes, and stubble on his cheeks. He has a high forehead, broad nose, and square jaw. He does not smile easily. Quentyn is sensible and dutiful, but solemn and not handsome.

Quentyn is cautious by nature and filled with doubts, fears, and insecurities. He does not want to be remembered as a failure, and cannot bear the thought of his father's disappointment, nor does he want friends to die for nothing.

Fostered at Yronwood, Quentyn came to see Cletus Yronwood, his dearest friend, as a brother in all but blood, and Cletus's father, Lord Anders, as a second father.

Quentyn speaks the Volantene and Ghiscari tongues. While he can read and write High Valyrian, he has had little practice in speaking it.

## **History:**

Quentyn was born the second child of Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne, and his wife, Lady Mellario of Norvos. At a young age, Quentyn was sent to be fostered by Lord Anders Yronwood, whom he served as a page and later squire. Quentyn was fostered at Yronwood to repair the relationship between House Martell and House Yronwood, which had been damaged by a duel between Quentyn’s uncle, Prince Oberyn Martell, and Lord Edgar Yronwood, more than a decade before. Edgar and Oberyn had both taken cuts during this duel, but while Oberyn recovered, Edgar's wounds festered and he eventually died. This led to whispers that Oberyn had fought with a poisoned blade, so sending Quentyn to Yronwood was to settle this blood debt. Mellario felt Quentyn was too young to be sent away, however, and the boy's fosterage was one of the strains on his parents' marriage.

At Yronwood, Quentyn befriended Anders's eldest son, Cletus, Cletus's cousin Archibald, Gerris Drinkwater, and Willam Wells. Quentyn received his knighthood at the age of eighteen, from Lord Anders Yronwood, after turning down the same offer made by his uncle, Prince Oberyn.

Quentyn has been riding horses since he was six, and has been trained with spear and sword and shield since he was old enough to walk. Amongst the people in Dorne, Quentyn is little known.

Quentyn has recently moved to King's Landing, and has become one of his cousin Aegon's trusted knights, for whom he acts as a bodyguard.
Margaery Tyrell

**Margaery Tyrell** is the only daughter of Lord Mace Tyrell and Lady Alerie Tyrell, granddaughter of Lady Olenna Tyrell and sister of Willas Tyrell, Ser Garlan Tyrell and Ser Loras Tyrell.

## **Appearance and Character:**

Margaery has thick, softly curling brown hair and large brown eyes. She has a slender but womanly figure with smooth and unblemished pale skin. Margaery is fair and lively, with a shy and sweet smile. She is regarded as beautiful or pretty by most.

Margaery's beauty was equalled by her cleverness, which she had in abundance. A true protégée of her grandmother Olenna, she was a gifted manipulator who knew how to manoeuvre her way in court politics. Margaery's strength was in her ability to win the minds and loyalties of her subjects.

Margaery possessed the tact and politeness that Cersei lacks. While Cersei is blunt and often rude, Margaery was capable of exuding the courtly behaviour and courtesies expected of a lady - while still privately engaging in palace intrigues to increase her family's power. Cersei scorns her status as a woman in a realm dominated by men, though she is willing to use sex as a weapon to seduce those she needs. In contrast, Margaery worked *within* the social standards of "proper" femininity in Westeros, but adeptly turned them to her favor, to orchestrate political machinations from behind the scenes.

Although Margaery had to develop many different facades depending on who she is trying to manipulate, she is shown to genuinely have a good heart, compassion, and empathy. Margaery had loving relationships with all of her family members. She loves her brother Loras and is entirely tolerant of his homosexuality.

She shares a very strong bond with her grandmother, sharing her acuity for manipulation and political manoeuvring. Though she had developed many facades in order to sway the opinions of others in her favor, she was extremely loyal to her family and house, and would go to great lengths to keep them safe.

## **History:**

Margaery was born at Highgarden to Lord Mace Tyrell and Lady Alerie Tyrell of House Hightower. She has three older brothers, Willas, Garlan, and Loras. When she was a little girl, Willas used to read to her, and draw her pictures of the stars. Margaery has been riding horses since she was old enough to walk.

Margaery was sent to court to serve as a ward at sixteen, an odd age for that (it is rumored that Lord Tyrell wishes his daughter to seduce Prince Aegon, heir to the Iron Throne).

In the court, Margarye realized that the Targaryen House had become unstable, and that is that the children of King Rhaegar began to distance themselves and become rivals for different purposes. Aware of this situation, Margaery opted for Aegon's faction, becoming a valuable ally of the prince.

He is the son of Ser Stafford Lannister and Myranda Lannister, of House Lefford. He has two younger sisters, Cerenna and Myrielle Lannister.

Dawn

**Dawn** is the famous ancestral greatsword of House Dayne, whose wielder is given the title ***Sword of the Morning***. It's current holder is Ser Arthur Dayne.

## **Appearance:**

The blade is as pale as milk glass, unlike dark Valyrian steel, but is similar in strength and sharpness.

## **History**:

According to legend, the founder of House Dayne tracked a falling star to the mouth of The Torentine, and Starfall was then constructed where a magical stone was discovered. The greatsword Dawn was forged from the heart of this fallen star and has possibly been wielded by Daynes for ten thousand years. The sigil of the Daynes depicts the white sword and falling star.

Unlike other houses who have ancestral swords, House Dayne does not pass its sword from lord to heir. Only a knight of House Dayne who is deemed worthy can wield Dawn, and the Sword of the Morning is envied throughout The Seven Kingdoms.

Nymeria has dark golden eyes and grey fur. Nymeria is found with her litter-mates near their dead mother in the snow by Jon and Robb.

Arya keeps Nymeria as close as possible, even allowing the direwolf to sleep at the foot of her bed.
Riverrun

**Riverrun** is the ancestral castle of House Tully, the Lords Paramount of The Trident. It is situated in the western Riverlands, at the confluence of The Tumblestone and Red Fork rivers.

In times of danger, sluice gates can be opened to flood a channel cut to the west of the castle, turning Riverrun into an island. Its walls rise sheer from the waters and its towers command the opposite shores, making assaulting it almost impossible without huge casualties.

## **Layout:**

The castle has sandstone walls which rise sheer from the water, its battlements are crenelated and have arrow loops, and its towers command the opposite shores. Riverrun's keep is located inside. Properly garrisoned, Riverrun can hold supplies for men and horses for as long as two years; a garrison of two hundred men is larger than Riverrun requires in most circumstances. Guardsmen wear fish-crest helms. The castle's doors are made of heavy redwood.

* **The Wheel Tower -** has a great waterwheel turned by The Tumblestone. It has ivy climbing alongside it, and below one makes a wide turn and ends up in churning waters.
* **The Water Gate** - The Tumblestone leads to The Water Gate, a wide arch and a heavy iron portcullis, red with rust in its lower half. It is named so for being half in the water, and one must use a boat to go through it. Many boats are tied up within The Water Gate, secured to iron rings in the walls. The water stair leads from the lower bailey up to the castle.
* **The Keep** - is triangular, like Riverrun itself, and the lord's solar is triangular as well with a triangular stone balcony jutting eastwards. The solar can be reached by a spiral stairway. The pillars of Hoster's great canopied bed are carved as leaping trout.
* **The Great Hall** - is where large councils are held and the high seat of the Tullys sits. There is a private audience chamber above the Great Hall with another high seat for the lord and a bell to ring for servants.

The shortest way from the Great Hall to the keep is through the godswood, a bright and airy garden, with elms, redwoods, wildflowers, nesting birds, and streams. Its heart tree is a slender carved weirwood. The sept at Riverrun is a seven-sided sandstone building amidst the gardens of the late Minisa Tully. Inside, images of the Seven are painted on marble.

The dungeons of Riverrun are windowless and damp, their doors heavy and made of wood and iron. The castle also contains kennels and stables.
House Connington

**House Connington of Griffin's Roost** is a house of landed knights from Griffin's Roost in The Stormlands, sworn to Storm's End. It was formerly a lordly house whose lands once extended many leagues west, north, and south of Griffin's Roost, including reaching near to The Rainwood.

Their blazon shows two griffins combatant countercharged per pale on red and white. Their motto is *'A Fierce Foe, A Faithful Friend*', though their traditional battle cry is *A griffin! A griffin!*

## **History:**

An old house, the Conningtons were a significantly wealthy house during the begening of the rule of House Targaryen. Ser Alyn Connington was an exalted Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.

Jon Connington was later named Hand of the King by the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen. The previous Hand, Owen Merryweather, had been exiled for his failure to face Robert's Rebellion, and Lord Connington was a noted warrior of proven loyalty, being one of Prince Rhaegar's best friends. During the Battle of the Bells at Stoney Sept, Jon wounded Lord Hoster Tully and killed Ser Denys Arryn, the Darling of the Vale, with an axe.

After being defeated by the rebels at Stoney Sept, Jon was stripped of his lands and sent into exile in the Free Cities by King Aerys II Targaryen, but was later recalled from Exile after his friend, Rhaegar Targaryen became king and was later renamed as Hand of the King.
