Draconys

Draconys is a ruined city found on the southern coast of the broken Valyrian Peninsula.

## History

Draconys was founded by the Valyrian Freehold. Although rich and glorious, it did not have self-rule and was instead governed by men and women sent from Valyria to rule in the name of the Freehold and thus it is not counted among the Free Cities. The city was devastated by the Doom of Valyria.

	+ Dogo's Den - The fishing market in the northern half of the town is where various fishmongers and merchants sell their wares.

## History

During the reign of the God-Kings of Ibben, Ib Sar was an exile colony where the worst criminals of Ibben were sent as a punishment. Frequently, they were mutilated beforehand to ensure that they could never return to Ib, and would forever be marked as criminals. Though this brutal practice was ended with the fall of the God-Kings, Ib Sar retains a negative reputation.

## Layout

Ib Sar is a small, poor and miserable city, with small buildings and dirt roads. It is set on the coastline, but lacks the trade of the Port of Ibben, and subsists almost entirely by fishing.

Bloodstone

Bloodstone is the largest of the fourteen major islands in the Narrow Sea that make up the Stepstones.

## History

The largest of the Stepstones, Bloodstone has been the island of choice for a number of Pirate Lords and exiled Nobles from both sides of the Narrow Sea.

Named for the dark-red sand beaches on the southern and eastern sides of the island, Bloodstone is pockmarked with abandoned outposts, burnt harbours and forgotten smugglers dens.

## Recent History

In 313AC, a Corsair King invaded the Stepstones, and quickly forged an Alliance with King Renly Baratheon upon the Iron Throne. The treaty would last a decade before finally the increasing demands from the Corsair eventually drove the two Kings apart.

In 323AC, the fleet of the Corsair King attacked Greenstone, raiding the port and the surrounding town. Lord Estermont was sent fleeing for his life as the Corsair King warned more attacks will follow if his demands are not met. As the Redwyne and Martell fleets sailed for Bloodstone, Renly and his Master of Ships Montererys Velaryon gave chase to the Corsair King, but were ambushed near Ghaston Grey. Through a narrow victory, the Royal Fleet sent the pirates fleeing for the Stepstones, where they would linger and give trouble to the Westerosi forces for the best part of a year.

Bloodstone eventually fell after nearly a year of fighting, marking the end of the Reign of the Corsair King. As the rest of the isles fell under control of King Baratheon, there are some that believe the Corsair escaped, but no evidence has ever been found to confirm this. Ser Pate of the Blackwater is named champion of Bloodstone, where he would watch over the isle for just over a decade.
Lake of Naqrh

The Lake of Naqrh is a large inland lake found within the Great Grass Sea in central Essos.

## Location and Geography

The Lake of Naqrh is located close to the ruins of the so-called City of Scholars, Sallosh, now known as Vaes Athjikhari.

The river Zbanhe finds one of its sources from the Lake of Naqrh.

## History

The Silver Sea was an inland sea surrounded by verdant grassland and was used for both transportation and fishing by the Kingdom of the Fisher Queens, which grew up around its waters and extended west and north-west. In time, however, the Fisher Queens were followed by the Tagaez Fen, said to be born from the last of the dynasty, and thus the Kingdom of Sarnor came to be.

Since then, however, the Silver Sea has shrunk significantly, and thus now only the great lakes of Sarnor remain, namely the Lake of Naqrh and the Sea of Zabaa.
Great Moraq

Great Moraq is an island that is used to define the join between the western Summer Sea and the eastern Jade Sea. It is the largest island in the Known World.

## Geography

West of Great Moraq are Vahar and Lesser Moraq, while to the south is the Isle of Elephants, as well as several smaller islands. East of the great island is the Isle of Whips and, in the Jade Gates to the north, is Qal. Across the Jade Gates is Qarth in southern Essos.

The northern half of Great Moraq is a mixture of plains, hills, and small forests, while the southern half of the island is densely forested. The city of Faros is situated at the mouth of a river on the northern stretch of its western coast. At the southern point of Great Moraq is the city of Port Moraq on the Cinnamon Straits.

## Cities

There are two major cities upon the island of Great Moraq, as well as innumerable minor fishing towns and villages.

* Faros - Famous throughout the Known World for the worship of a deity called the Stone Cow by visitors to the isle, the people of Faros centre much of their lives around servitude to the towering statue found at the centre of the town. Offerings of fish, spices and gold are given each day at sunrise, and again at sunset, the services led by priests clad in tunics and cloaks of slate-grey fabric. As long as respect is upheld, any and all are welcome to attend the offering ceremonies, or place items of their own before the statue.
* Port Moraq - A popular stopping point for merchants returning from the isles and nations of the Jade Sea, their ships heavy with spices, exotic wood and gemstones, the city of Port Moraq is found on the southern side of the isle. The first colonisers of the area cleared away the thick forest to the north, and continue to do to this day as expansion north continues. Most of the city, subsequently, is constructed of timber rather than stone, from the wharves and jetties to the walls that surround its territory.

## History

Great Moraq was once conquered by Jar Joq, one of the sea-green god-emperors of Yi Ti.

Because of the prevailing winds, the eastern shore of Great Moraq is lightly settled and rarely visited. The western shore is more populous and is connected with the Jade Sea trade routes.

## Recent History

The isle of Great Moraq, along with Qarth has long raided ships from the Isle of Elephants to the south, supposedly stemming from a petty rivalry between the isles. In 361AC as part of his deal with the Shan of Zabhad, Cregas the Ivory King promised to protect the isle from the people of Great Moraq. This would lead to a number of conflicts between the isle and the Corsair-King over the next few years.
Immram

At the heart of the isle, there is said to be a great fire, although from where it gets its fuel and what purpose it serves is unknown, for should a man have the guile to travel to the isle, the mountains that surround the vast flame are said to be nigh impassable.
Kalia

Talon

Kalia was a pirate most famous for the Corsair-Queen of the Basilisk Isles during the time of the Mahout Riots of Volantis, only to be quickly eclipsed in fame by one of her followers, Cregas.

Larazor’s Rock

Larazor's Rock is southeastern most of the fourteen major islands that make up the Stepstones.

## History

There are three tales of the origin of the small, rocky island's name.

* Some sailors talk of a Pentoshi merchant by the name of Larazor, whom found himself stranded on the island after his cog was scuttled by one of the vicious storms known to sweep from the Stepstones. After nearly two decades upon the rock, he was rescued by a Lyseni Captain whom had come ashore in hope of restocking his supply of freshwater.
* Others talk of a Pirate King without rival, whom was the first to claim the island after the breaking of the Arm of Dorne. From the small island he commanded a fleet unlike any other, and brought even the Three Daughters to heel. This tale is discounted by most, as no reference to this Pirate King can be found in the histories of Lys, Tyrosh or Myr.
* The final story is the most sinister and mystical of them all. The tales speak of a sea-leviathan made man by the Merling King. In his wrath, the man collected the skulls of all those whom prayed to the Merling King before throwing them into the depths. As the great stack of heads slowly turned to stone with time, the island was formed.

 Recent History

In 313AC, a Corsair King invaded the Stepstones, and quickly forged an Alliance with King Renly Baratheon upon the Iron Throne. The treaty would last a decade before finally the increasing demands from the Corsair eventually drove the two Kings apart.

In 323AC, the fleet of the Corsair King attacked Greenstone, raiding the port and the surrounding town. Lord Estermont was sent fleeing for his life as the Corsair King warned more attacks will follow if his demands are not met.

Bloodstone eventually fell after nearly a year of fighting, marking the end of the Reign of the Corsair King. As the rest of the isles fell under control of King Baratheon, there are some that believe the Corsair escaped, but no evidence has ever been found to confirm this. Carron Codd is named the Master of Larazor's Rock, but by a decade or two later, all control over the isles by the Iron Throne had been lost.
Morraqon

Morraqon is a small isle located within the Cinnamon Straits in the Jade Sea.

## Location and Geography

## The Frog Pool

Of the few permanent residents that reside upon the isle of Morraqon, most can be found around the series of waterfalls and pools on the northern tip of the isle. Shaped by hands long gone, the waters are surrounded by hundreds of stone frogs, and from their mouths and eyes the crisp fresh waters that feed the pools flow.

Some in the past have suggested a connection to the Isle of Toads in the Basilisks, but while the effigy there carries a malign and foul spirit, no such unpleasantness lingers in the depictions upon Morraqon.

## History

### Origins

House Velaryon is an ancient and proud house, with the blood of old Valyria in its veins. The Velaryons left Valyria before the Targaryens, and settled on the island of Driftmark in the narrow sea. The castle of Driftmark houses their ancient high seat, the Driftwood Throne, which according to legend had been given to them by the Merling King to conclude a pact.

Their close proximity to the Gullet enabled the Velaryons to fill their coffers from trade in the narrow sea and Blackwater Bay.

### The War of the Exiles

Driftmark played a significant role in the War of the Exiles, as it was captured by Daenerys Targaryen in the opening stages of her invasion and a campaign was later led by Lord Redwyne to recapture it. The Dragon Queen was driven away, but burned the Redwyne fleet to nothing in retribution.

## Recent Events

Moluu

Moluu is one of the fifteen islands that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.

## Description

Moluu is one of the larger major islands of the Summer Isles, although considerably smaller than the isles of Walano, Omboru and Jhala. Just to the north is the Isle of Love, and to the east the Three Exiles.

The tropical forests that cover Moluu are particularly dense, and filled with an abundance of life, both large and small. Spotted panthers larger than the lions depicted on the sigil of House Lannister roam the forest, and the air is filled with the cries of dozens of species of bird, and hundreds of insects. One particular species of note is the Golden Stag, a large type of beetle with a carapace that catches the light with a brilliance and splendour comparable to that of the precious stones mined on Jhala.

## Ruler

The Golden Stag is the chosen sigil that the ruling family, the Dols, display proudly upon their banners of coloured fabric above their wooden palace in Mango Grove, the largest settlement on Moluu.

Lyglo Maegan

Lyglo Maegan is a Norvoshi noble and Magister of Great Norvos.

## History

In an effort to stay the growing risk of conflict with Braavos as they continued preparation for war with Lys, the Triarchs of Volantis sent a message to the Sealord of Braavos Bessaro Nestoris to denounce the actions of Rhaemar Agnalor of Valysar and declare him a rogue and vagabond. Heeding the Triarchs’ words, Nestoris dispatched an army to meet with Agnalor in the Braavosi foothills. At the Battle of Sweetwater Source, Valysarian infantry met with the forces led by Marro Antaryon, wielder of the Valyrian steel longsword *Titan’s Roar*. Reports state that the blade cut through two-score men that day, among them two of Rhaemar Agnalor’s sons, Aurion and Maevon.

Governor Rhaemar himself was not among the slain however, and instead retreated with the two thousand remaining troops to the ruined city of Ny Sar, where Marro Antaryon finally caught up with him, seeking to put an end to the Governor. As his men were butchered by the larger host, Rhaemar turned once again to flee, seizing a passing trade cog and butchering the passengers with his own Valyrian steel blade when they refused to assist him in his flight.

It would prove to only further turmoil when it would be made known that one of the passengers was Grogeo Maegan, heir of the noble Maegan family of Norvos. Blaming both Braavos and Volantis for the death, Magister **Lyglo Maegan** called for war with both. In time, this would be something resolved by trades mediated through the High Priest of the Conclave, who managed to claim territory from both cities in the peace accords of late 365AC.

Each of the islands is covered in a thick canopy of trees and plant life, and the forests sing with the sound of a hundred types of birds and thousands of kinds of insects all day and night.

The islands is perhaps most famous for the manticores that give the archipelago their name, which are found in great number throughout the undergrowth of the forests. It is said that when men first came to the island, they mistakenly thought they had discovered an island were gemstones grew from the ground and walked through the fallen leaves, only to realise their folly when they tried to harvest the riches.

Despite this, the islands are still visited frequently by those either brave or ignorant enough to see past the dangers of the fatal poison of the insects and catch them for selling across the markets and bazaars of the Known World.
House Chester

House Serry

**House Chester** **of Greenshield** is a noble house sworn to House Tyrell of Highgarden. Their lands lay on Greenshield, one of the Shield Islands.

House Drinkwater

House Drinkwater of Tall Glass is a noble house of landed knights from Dorne, sworn to House Allyrion. They claim the title *Knights of the Scourge*, in reference to their keep being placed on the banks of the Scourge.

Their motto is *Sweet As Nectar*. Their blazon is a black pitcher over sand. The Drinkwaters often have blond hair, blue eyes and olive skin.

## History

One of the Drinkwater twins gave Quentyn Martell his first kiss.

Ser Gerris Drinkwater accompanied Quentyn Martell to the Free Cities on his mission to marry Daenerys Targaryen.

### Post-Daenerys

Sometime in between the second Targaryen invasion and the marching upon House Allyrion, House Drinkwater intermarried into Allyrion and a cadet branch was established at Tall Glass, which is near Godsgrace. When Allyrion rebelled, the Drinkwaters sided with them and their original branch near Yronwood was wiped out. As a result, the Drinkwaters have been reduced to a lowly landed knight house once more, and seek to regain power.

## Recent Events

Sir Archibald Drinkwater journeyed to Storm's End to meet with Dornish and Stormlands lords. From there he traveled with Dornish and Stormlands lords to the Kingsroad-Roseroad junction, but sent a letter to his brother, Gerris Drinkwater, to send 330 men to camp near Summerhall as well as raise another 330 men.

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.
Mantarys

Mantarys is one of the cities of the Valyrian Peninsula and Lands of the Long Summer, located north of the Smoking Sea upon the tip of the Sea of Sighs.

## History

Mantarys was founded by the Valyrian Freehold. Although rich and glorious, it did not have self-rule and was instead governed by men and women sent from Valyria to rule in the name of the Freehold and thus it is not counted among the Free Cities. The city survived the Doom of Valyria, and remains inhabited to this day, although those that live within are said to be twisted, monstrous and more beast than man.

Kingdom of the Trident

**King of the Trident** and **King of the Rivers and the Hills** were titles used by various **river kings** from the riverlands prior to the Aegon's Conquest. The titles refer to the numerous rivers in the kingdom, such as the Trident with its three forks and the Blackwater Rush. The hills between the riverlands and the westerlands were also historically contested by river kings and Kings of the Rock. Currently, the titles are held by the reigning King in the Kingdom of Winter.

## History

Numerous houses ruled as First Men river kings, including Houses Fisher, Blackwood, Bracken, and Mudd. The Mudds ruled from the Trident to the Neck and reigned as kings for a thousand years before the Andal invasion.

After the Andals divided the riverlands amongst themselves, many petty lords named themselves river king, the most successful of them being the Justman and Teague dynasties. The Hooks were river kings of old, although it is unknown if they were First Men or Andals.The Teagues, the last of the native river kings, were eventually extinguished in the Battle of Six Kings, and the riverlands passed first to the Storm Kings from House Durrandon and then the Kings of the Isles and the Rivers from House Hoare.

During his conquest, Aegon the Conqueror created the title of Lord Paramount of the Trident for the liege lord of the riverlands within the Seven Kingdoms. Since the conquest, the Lords Paramount of the Trident have been from House Tully. The Kingdom of Winter also uses the title of Lord Paramount of the Trident.
House Tarth

## House Information

### Sigil

### Title

King of Tarth (formerly)Lord of EvenfallThe Evenstar

## Historical Information

### Culture

Andal

**House Tarth of Evenfall Hall** is a noble house from Evenfall Hall in the Stormlands. The family rules Tarth, a beautiful island northeast of Shipbreaker Bay that controls the Straits of Tarth between the island and mainland Westeros. They are one of the main houses sworn to House Baratheon of Storm's End.

Their blazon is quartered with yellow suns on rose and white crescents and azure. Their words are not known. Lord Tarth is sometimes called **the Evenstar.**

## History

Ancestors of House Tarth were once kings, and the head of the family is known as *"the Evenstar"*, which they claim dates back to the dawn of days. The island of Tarth came under the dominion of the House Durrandon when the Storm King Durran the Fair married the daughter of Tarth's king, Edwyn Evenstar.

Tarth was the first region of the stormlands conquered during the Andal invasion, but peace between the Andals and First Men was eventually achieved when the Storm Kings and their bannermen intermarried with the Andals. The Tarths have Andal ancestry and have ties with Houses Durrandon, Baratheon, and Targaryen.

At the start of the Dance of the Dragons, Ser Otto Hightower believed that the Evenstar of Tarth would be among the narrow sea powers who would support Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Ser Quentyn Tarth participated in the tourney at Ashford Meadow in 209 AC.
Corlys Velaryon

Steffon Waters

Corlys Velaryon is a member of the noble Crownlander House Velaryon and captain of the ship *Evening Close*.

He is named for the Sea Snake of two-hundred and fifty years prior, and shares his ancestors love for adventure.

## History

The First Expedition of Corlys Velaryon arrived at the northern edge of Sothoryos in 353AC, collecting a great quantity of gemstones, spices and if the rumours are to be believed, slaves, before sailing north towards the Bay of Dragons. After visiting Qarth, Corlys, much like his ancestor, would return home to Driftmark, bringing riches with him. It would prove to be the first of many journeys for the seafarer.

In 361AC, the Second Expedition of Corlys Velaryon took him once again the Sothoryos, although once again he does not venture further than the beaches, and declines to stay for longer than a few days. While he planned to sail further east, to Qarth and through the Jade Gates to Yi Ti and Leng, Corlys and his ship *Evening Close* are forced to turn back early, calling port instead at Volantis while Corlys recovers from a sickness he believes to have caught whilst calling port in the Basilisk Isles.

Just five years after his last expedition, Corlys Velaryon sets out for the east once more, seeking to repeat the journey taken by his namesake. Returning half a decade later to Westeros, he does so claiming to have sailed to Yi Ti, Leng, Asshai and further still, to lands distant. His tales of the fantastical sights he witnessed draw the attention of a great number of noble and lowborn in Westeros alike.

When Corlys Velaryon announced his Fourth Grand Expedition on the eve of 372AC, a number of Westerosi and Essosi alike flocked to his side, wishing to join him on his adventures. Among them were the Crownlander Ser Osmund Massey, Stormlander Gilbert Tudbury, the Dornishman Nymos Toland, the Westerlander twins Alyssa and Marq Farman and a strew of lesser souls, sellswords and adventurers.

Their ships were found at the mouth of Zamoyos in late 372AC, near the ruined city of Zamettar by lumberers in the employ of the Lyseni House of Nahohr - although the charts located within the vessels suggest it was Yeen and beyond that they had travelled to by rowboat.

They have not been seen since, although their long since raided vessels remain scuttled on the shore. While many have dismissed the party as long deceased, there are those that instead remind that the same was thought of the Sea Snake when he sailed for the Jade Sea - and later returned with enough riches to make House Velaryon the richest House in Westeros for a time.
Long Lances

The Long Lances are a mercenary company found in Essos. They have around four hundred riders within their ranks.

## Recent History

The Long Lances were amongst the sellsword companies that fought Daenerys Targaryen, and did so under the command of Gylo Rhegan. While Barristan the Bold tried to parley with Gylo to get them to defect to the Dragon Queen's side, he could not match the coin promised to the Long Lances by the Wise Masters of Yunkai.

They were among the half dozen companies extinguished in dragonflame when Daenerys descended from high upon Drogon.
Ar Noy

Ar Noy is a ruined city in Essos at the confluence of the Qhoyne and the Darkwash rivers.

It is currently ruled over by the Qohorik, who transport timber from the Forest of Qohor through the ruins.

## Layout

Originally built by the Rhoynar, the green marble halls were ravaged by the Valyrian Dragonlords nearly a thousand years ago, and remain unrepaired to this day.

## Recent History

In 301AC, the Brave Companions led by Vargo Hoat, defeated the King of the Qhoyne at Ar Noy, even though they were not under contract with Qohor. Such actions earn Vargo great popularity within Qohor.

By 307AC, the Hoat family had gained more and more power, having become the commanding family of the Qohorik city guards. The Eranel and Mott family had sought to counter their growth in popularity and schemed with Doro, a former member of the Brave Companions who has his own grievances against Vargo. At the Carnage of Ar Noy, current and former members of the Brave Companions clashed, leaving over four-fifths of them dead, and Vargo Hoat is forced to flee.
House Fossoway

House Uffering

House Fossoway of Cider Hall

**House Fossoway** **of New Barrel** is a noble house sworn to House Tyrell of Highgarden. They are commonly referred to as the green-apple Fossoways, to differentiate them from the original branch of the house, the red apple Fossoways from Cider Hall.

## History

### Founding

The origin of this branch of House Fossoway is from 209 AC, when Raymun Fossowaytook different side than his cousin Ser Steffon, the Knight of Cider Hall, in a trial of seven at Ashford Meadow.

Raymun, who was knighted minutes before the battle by Ser Lyonel Baratheon, fought for his friend Ser Duncan the Tall. To differentiate himself from his cousin fighting for the other side, he painted the apple on his shield in green, playing at Steffon's oft-repeated jape that he was "still green". He stated that he preferred to be green than rotten.

### The Dornish Rebellion

Soon after the dornish rebels massed at Ghost Hill, some of the reach houses declared themselves for the rebels' course as well. These Reach Rebels were lead by the Red Apple Fossoway’s.

The Green Apple Fossoways, however, stayed loyal to the Iron Throne and thus Lord Tyrell. Hence, he got named the liege lord of the Red Apple Fossoways, once the Dornish Rebellion was over.
