Redirect to:

* Aemon Targaryen (the Dragonknight)
See Aemon I Targaryen

**Aemon the Dragonknight** was the younger brother of Naerys I Targaryen and was in love with her despite the fact that she married their brother, Aegon IV. He joined the Kingsguard at the age of seventeen.

Prince Aemon has been referred to as the noblest knight who ever lived, and his skill with a sword is legendary throughout Westeros. He bore the Valyrian steel sword Dark Sister, previously wielded by Aegon the Conqueror's sister-wife Visenya.

He served under four kings:Daeron the Young Dragon, Baelor the Blessed, his father Viserys II, and lastly his own brother, Aegon IV. Aemon once fought Cregan Stark. Prince Aemon claimed he never faced a finer swordsman.

### The Conquest of Dorne

Aemon took part in the invasion of Dorne, led by his cousin and King Daeron I. Aemon won great fame by defeating a Dornish champion, and was present several years later after the rebellion in Dorne undid Daeron's Conquest, and Daeron I himself died. Aemon was taken captive by the Dornish, and put in a crow cage, placed above a pit filled with vipers. He was eventually rescued by his cousin Baelor, his new king.

### Aegon IV's reign

After Kings Baelor I and Viserys II died, Aemon's elder brother Aegon became king. During Aegon's reign, Aemon remaind the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, a position he held until his death. He defended his sister Naerys when she was accused of treason by the knight Ser Morgil

Aemon once won a tournament, disguised as a mystery knight, after his brother Aegon had forbidden him to take part because Aegon wanted to crown his mistress of that time as the Queen of Love and Beauty. Aemon secretly took part anyway, disguised as a mystery knight known only as the *Knight of Tears*. The *Knight of Tears* won the tournament, and Aemon was thus able to name his sister, Naerys, the Queen of Love and Beauty in place of the king's mistress.

Despite Aegon's feelings of disrespect and hate towards Aemon and Aegon's provocations, Aemon died honorably, defending his brother and king against two brothers of House Toyne who sought to assasinate the King in retribution for the execution of their brother, Ser Terrence Toyne.

Daeron II, Aemon's nephew (or son, according to the rumors), named his grandson Aemon in honor of the Dragonknight.

According to Ser Arys Oakheart, the rumors of the parentage of King Daeron were only that, rumors, a lie whispered to the ear of King Aegon IV as many believed he planned on disinheriting Daeron in favor of his bastard son Daemon Blackfyre.

When Raymun Redbeard went over the Wall, Lord Willam Stark called his banners and marched north. Artos was among those who went with him. During the Battle of Long Lake, Lord Willam was killed. Artos slew Raymun during the battle, ending the wildling threat. The Night's Watch arrived too late to take part in the battle and for their tardiness, Artos ordered them to dispose of the dead. It is unknown if Artos succeeded Willam as Lord of Winterfell.

Denethor (First Age)

Template:Disamb-more
Template:Infobox Person Elves
**Denethor** was the son of the Nandor Elf leader Lenwë (or **Dan**), who lived during the Years of the Trees.

## Biography

Hearing of the power of Thingol, Denethor led many of his people over the Blue Mountains to Beleriand. They settled in Ossiriand, renaming it Lindon, in the east of Beleriand, and Denethor became their king. They were called the *Laiquendi*, or Green-elves. Some time later after his return from Aman, Morgoth loosed an army on Beleriand beginning the First Battle. The lightly-armed Laiquendi were driven back to the great hill of Amon Ereb, where Denethor was slain. The Laiquendi became a reclusive people, seldom taking up arms, and never again naming a king.

## Etymology

The name comes from the Nandorin words dene ("strong, lithe") and thara ("tall, slender"), and gives the name a meaning of "Lithe and lank".

Joanna Lannister

Bladorthin

Template:Infobox Person Men

**Bladorthin** was a King of Men in the Northeast sometime during the late Third Age. His realm was probably close in proximity to Lonely Mountain, because in *The Hobbit* Thorin and Balin remember and wonder if Bladorthin's order is still intact:

*"The spears made for the armies of the great King Bladorthin (long since dead), each had a thrice-forged head and their shafts were inlaid with cunning gold, but they were never delivered or paid for."*

## Biography

Therefore Bladorthin probably ruled either Lake-town, Dale, maybe Rhûn, or Dorwinion. It says in the above quote that the spears were never delivered or paid for. This suggests that either the coming of Smaug or Bladorthin's own death delayed their delivery. The King's name appears to come from Elvish, most likely derived from blador, meaning "wide plain" and thin, meaning "grey". Actually, in the first draft of the Hobbit Gandalf the Grey was called Bladorthin. In the final copy, however, it the name only survives in this way.

Battle at the Red Fork

The **Battle at the Red Fork** was a battle fought at the crossing of the Red Fork during the early stages of the Dance of the Dragons. It was fought between the Greens and the Blacks. It ended with a victory for the Greens.

## Before the Battle

Lord Jason Lannister, a supporter of King Aegon II Targaryen, attacked the Riverlands, who had mostly declared for Rhaenyra Targaryen.

## Battle

The battle was met at a crossing of the Red Fork. The rivermen were broken, allowing the Westerlanders to invade. Lord Jason Lannister was, however, killed by the squire Pate of Longleaf, henceforth known as Ser Pate the Lionslayer.

## After the Battle

Under the command of Ser Adrian Tarbeck and later Lord Lefford, the Westerlanders made their advance east into the Riverlands. They were eventually beaten at the Battle by the Lakeshore.

With Jason's death the Westerlands were thrown into disarray, and Lord Dalton Greyjoy seized advantage of it, raiding up and down the coast. Jason's widow, Johanna Westerling, barred the gates of Casterly Rock, but couldn't prevent him from sacking Lannisport.
Forodwaith

**Forodwaith** was the name of both a region and the people who lived there.Template:Location infobox

## History

The Sindarin name *Forodwaith* translates loosely as *Northern Waste*, and was a name for the land north of the Iron Mountains of the First Age. Little was known of it, except that it was an area of immense cold due to the proximity to the Gap of Ilmen, and Morgoth's evil cold.

After the War of Wrath and the breaking of the World, the Iron Mountains were mostly destroyed, and the area of Forodwaith that lay north of Eriador became known as **Forochel**, together with the great ice-bay and cape that carried the same name.

The Men of Forodwaith were a strange folk apparently unrelated to the Edain. During the Third Age, they were known as the **Snowmen of Forochel** or **Lossoth**. In *Unfinished Tales*, it was stated that they could glide on ice by tying bones to their feet.

Arvedui, last King of Arthedain, fled to the Ice-bay of Forochel after his realm was destroyed by Angmar, and the Lossoth helped him survive the winter. Against their advice he took ship to sail south, and he was drowned in the ice-bay, together with the Palantíri of the North.Template:Fact

Bellegere Otherys

**Bellegere Otherys**, also known as the **Black Pearl of Braavos**. was a smuggler, trader, and pirate, who captains the *Widow Wind*. She was born of the union of a Sealord's son, and a princess from the Summer Islands.

## Appearance and Character

She is described as being as black as a pot of ink.

## History

After Princess Naerys Targaryen almost died during childbirth, King Baelor I Targaryen sent Prince Aegon to Braavos on a diplomatic mission. There he met with Bellegere. Their affair lasted for ten years, though it was said that she had a husband in every port, and that Aegon was just one of many.

She had three children with Aegon, two girls and a boy, all of doubtful parentage. The eldest, Bellenora, became a courtesan, under the name The Black Pearl, and her line continues the tradition. Her son, Balerion, was likely named for the dragon of King Aegon I Targaryen.
Alysanne Targaryen

Queen **Alysanne Targaryen**, known as **Good Queen Alysanne**, was the queen consort of her brother, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen. Alysanne was a dragonrider whose dragon was Silverwing.

## Character and Appearance

According to semi-canon sources, Alysanne was slim of waist and small of breast, with a long neck, a fair complexion and a high forehead. She was tall and straight, unbowed by time. She had clear, blue eyes and high cheekbones. In old age her hair turned white as snow. She wore it in a bun, pulled back and pinned behind her ears. Age left crow's feet around her eyes and laugh lines about her mouth, but her face never lost its strength. She often wore a slimmer, more feminine version of her brother-husband's crown at court.  She was beloved by the common people of Westeros, she loved them in return, and she was renowned for her charities.

## History

She was the youngest daughter of Aenys I Targaryen and Alyssa Velaryon and had five siblings, Aegon, Viserys, Jaehaerys, Rhaena and Vaella. Following the customs of the Targaryens she married her brother Jaehaerys. Like her brother-husband she lived a long life, although she did predecease him by several years. In her youth Alysanne was a fine archer and hunter, and loved to fly atop her dragon to all the distant parts of the realm.

Alysanne had great influence over Jaehaerys, as she was very close to her husband, his most trusted counselor. She convinced him to abolish the lord's right to the first night. Later, when the couple visited the North, the queen travelled to the Wall on her dragon Silverwing. According to stories she was so impressed by the bravery of the Night's Watch that she asked Jaehaerys to double the size of the Watch's land. The acquired land was called the New Gift. During her visit she stayed in castle Snowgate, which was re-named Queensgate in her honour.She also convinced the Night's Watch to build a new castle, Deep Lake, as a replacement for the Nightfort.

The only great argument she had with Jaehaerys occurred when, after the death of their son Aemon, she hoped for their granddaughter Rhaenys to become heir, something the Old King rejected, preferring their second son Baelon instead. They temporarily separated, but later reconciled thanks to their daughter Maegelle.

There is a sad song, "Alysanne", that may be about her. The galley *Queen Alysanne* may also be named after her.

## Family

Alysanne and her husband had thirteen children, nine of whom lived to adulthood. The bulk of Alysanne's children predeceased her, with the loss of Princess Gael in 99AC being a particularly heavy blow that was believed by many to have hastened her own death.

Alysanna had five known grandchildren, four of them living to adulthood: Aemon's daughter Princess Rhaenys, who married Lord Corlys Velaryon, Baelon's sons, Prince Viserys, who would later be crowned as King Viserys I, and Prince Daemon Targaryen, and Daella's daughter, Lady Aemma Arryn, who would later become Queen of the Seven Kingdoms through her marriage to her cousin, Prince Viserys. Another son of Baelon and Alyssa, Prince Aegon, died young.

It was also the site of the Battle of the Lammoth fought between Fingolfin and the Orcs of Morgoth.

## History

Lammoth was the land of "the Great Echo", and it was so named because it was where Morgoth and Ungoliant fled after the darkening of Valinor and Morgoth's theft of the Silmarils. Ungoliant, who greatly thirsted for the Silmarils demanded them from Morgoth, and when he refused to give them to her she attacked Morgoth in order to get them. Weakened by the power that had gone out of him, he let out a great cry which echoed throughout the north of Middle-earth, and there and ever after the echo of his great cry lingered until the end of the Beleriand.

*"Ungoliant had grown great, and [Morgoth] less by the power that had gone out of him; and she rose against him...Then Morgoth sent forth a terrible cry, that echoed in the mountains. Therefore that region was called Lammoth, for the echoes of his voice dwelt there ever after, so that any who cried aloud in that land awoke them, all the waste between the hills and the sea was filled with a claumour as of voices in anguish. The cry of Morgoth in that hour was the greatest and most dreadful that was ever heard in the northern world."*

The echo of so many voices in Lammoth traveled into North alerting Morgoth to the arrival of the host of Fëanor in Middle-earth, sending and great host against him in Mithrim starting the Dagor-nuin-Giliath.

## Other versions of the legendarium

In *Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin* the name instead refers to the acoustic properties of the location and the natural reverberations they cause. When Fëanor landed there in the First Age, *"the voices of his host were swelled to a mighty clamour"* by the Echoing Mountains.

## Etymology

Lammoth was a Sindarin word that meant 'tongue-host'.

Iron Throne

File:Iron Throne by Marc Simonetti.jpg
The **Iron Throne** is the royal throne of Westeros, on which the King of the Seven Kingdoms traditionally sits and holds audiences and dispenses justice. The term refers to both the physical object and also to the person who sits on it. He who holds the Iron Throne is seen as the strongest claimant to the kingship, even when their position is disputed.

## Appearances

The Iron Throne is a tall, large seat which was forged out of the swords that Aegon the Conqueror collected from the enemies he defeated in battle. The throne's armrests consist of many blades and one must be careful not to injure themselves whilst sitting on the throne. The throne is located in the main hall of the Red Keep in King's Landing.

The Hand of the King, who dispenses justice when the King is not present, traditionally sits on a smaller, less ostentatious chair next to the main seat, although legally they are permitted to sit on the main throne, as are regents.

Eldarion

Template:Infobox Person Men Dúnedain

**Eldarion** (Quenya: IPA; "Son of the Eldar") was the only son of Aragorn II Elessar and Arwen Undómiel,  King and Queen of the Reunited Kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor in Middle-earth.

## Biography

Eldarion was recorded to have several sisters. Next to nothing is known about his rule, except that he probably maintained the peace and the borders of the Reunited Kingdom as set down by his father after the War of the Ring.

## Lineage

Through his father, Aragorn II Elessar, he is a direct descendant of Elendil, the grandson of Arathorn II and Gilraen, great-grandson of Arador and great-great grandson of Argonui; both from Dúnedain of the North.

Through his mother, Arwen Undómiel, he is the grandson of Lord Elrond and Lady Celebrian, nephew of Elladan and Elrohir of Rivendell, grandnephew of Elros Tar-Minyatur, great-grandson of Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn of Lothlorien, great grandson of Eärendil and Elwing.

According to Tolkien's timelines, Eldarion was born in the year 43 of the Fourth Age. He became King of the Reunited Kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor in the year FO 120, after his father Aragorn Elessar died. It is not known whether Eldarion ruled until his death or abdicated before that time.

## Etymology

***Eldarion*** is Quenya for "Son of the Eldar", from *elda* ("high-elf) and *-ion* (a patronymic ending, "son of, descendant").

## Behind the scenes

Tolkien had vague plans for a sequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy called *The New Shadow*, a story set sometime during King Eldarion's reign. However, he abandoned it after about 13 pages. Therefore, it is debatable whether *The New Shadow* can be considered canon.

Template:House of Isildur

## Trivia

* He is portrayed by Sadwyn Brophy, son of Jed Brophy, who portrayed Sharku and Snaga in The Two Towers (film) and Nori in The Hobbit (films).

Brown Lands

Template:Location infobox
The **Brown Lands** were a devastated region of Rhovanion. They were bordered by the Emyn Muil in the south, Mirkwood in the north, and Anduin in the east.

## History

Historically, the lands were fertile plains where the Entwives had their gardens. The lands were ruined by Sauron as a defense against the advance of the Allies, and the Entwives were driven away.When the Fellowship traveled by boat down the Anduin during the War of the Ring, they could see nothing but barren, withered slopes without even scrub or grass. Even Aragorn could not say what had caused such desolation. The only living thing they could see were black swans - spies of Sauron - flying overhead.

## Portrayal in adaptations

### *The Lord of the Rings Online*

 File:BrownLandsLOTRO.jpg
The Brown Lands appear in *The Lord of the Rings Online* as a desolate, uninhabited region of grasslands and hills.

## History

During his reign, Durran II returned much of the Rainwood that his father had conquered, back to the Children of the Forest.
Aerea Targaryen

File:Aerea Targaryen.png
Princess **Aerea Targaryen** was the daughter of Prince Aegon and Princess Rhaena Targaryen. She had a twin sister, Rhalla.

Aerea's parents were married in 41 AC. As this was an incestous marriage, this act led to a rebellion of the Faith. When Aerea's grandfather, King Aenys I Targaryen died, it was not Aerea's father, Aenys' eldest son and heir, Prince Aegon who was crowned king, but Aerea's great-uncle (and later step-father), Prince Maegor.

Aerea's father was killed in battle in 43 AC, leading to Princess Rhaena to go into hiding with both Aerea and Rhalla. They were eventually found, however, and captured on the orders of King Maegor.

Aerea's mother, Princess Rhaena, was forced to marry King Maegor I Targaryen in 47 AC. Because Maegor had no children of his own, Aerea was named his heir, while her uncle, Prince Jaehaerys was disinherited.

It is unknown what happened to Princess Aerea later in life.
Eärendil of Gondor

Template:Infobox Person Men Gondor

*This article is on a King of Gondor. For other namesakes see: Eärendil*.
**Eärendil** was the fifth King of Gondor.

## Biography

Eärendil was the son of Cemendur. During his reign there were no significant events, which suggests a peaceful reign. He died in TA 324 after ruling Gondor for 86 years and having 276 years of life and was succeeded by his son Anardil.

## Etymology

Eärendil was named after Eärendil the Mariner, a Half-elf of the First Age. Eärendil was a Quenya name which means "Lover of the Sea", from *eä* ("sea") and the suffix *-ndil* ("devoted to, friend, lover"). His mother-name is **Ardamírë** "Arda-jewel", from the Quenya *mírë* ("jewel").

Tommen II Lannister

King **Tommen II Lannister** was a King of the Rock before the War of Conquest.

## History

Tommen II sailed the great fleet of House Lannister to Valyria after the Doom, to try and plunder wealth and riches. It was a quest from which he never returned. The ancestral sword of the Lannisters, Brightroar, was lost with him.

He is referred to in the chronicle titled *The Glory of Volantis*, and it is said that he was welcomed into the city, and that the triarchs showered him with gifts. He supposedly said that half of what he plundered he would give to the triarchs as thanks for their generosity.

The next year, one of the triarchs, Marqelo Tagaros, dispatched a squadron towards Valyria to look for signs of Tommen's fleet, but nothing was found.
Falas

The **Falas** was an area on the coast of the West Beleriand, south of Nevrast.

## History

The River Brithon and the River Nenning ran into the sea here. The Sindarin Elves ruled by Círdan dwelt here, and built the havens of Brithombar and Eglarest. In FA 65, Finrod built the tower of Barad Nimras on a cape of the Falas between Brithombar and Eglarest, to watch for attacks from the sea by Morgoth.

The Falas only occasionally enters into the events of the First Age; in the First Battle of Beleriand, Morgoth's host overran the Falas and besieged the two havens, but lifted the siege in order to join in the Second Battle. The Havens of the Falas were finally destroyed in FA 473, and Círdan's people fled to the Mouths of Sirion and the Isle of Balar.

Cregan Stark

Jonnel Stark, Barthogan Stark, Edric Stark, Lyanna Stark, Brandon Stark (by Lynara stark)

**Cregan Stark** was a member of House Stark and Lord of Winterfell during the Dance of the Dragons and supported Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen's claim to the throne. The only son of Lord Rickon Stark and his wife Gilliane Glover, he was known as The Old Man of the North for his long rule.

Cregan was only a young man during the Dance of the Dragons (129-131AC), and it was Roddy the Ruin of House Dustin who lead the Winter Wolves in battle. He later led his army into battle, since the Northmen believed a long winter was coming, and most of his army was conformed by old men, single men, childless and homeless as well as younger sons, who hoped to die in battle in order to spare their families from mouths to feed. Unfortunately Aegon II had already died and most of the war was over. He was also denied the right to punish the houses who had supported Aegon and for six days he held sway at the Court, who came to be known as the Hour of the Wolf.

Nonetheless Stark couldn't forgive those who had poisoned the king, since he believed the King deserved justice, regardless of the faction, so he arrested most of the suspects, among them Larys Strong and Lord Corlys Velaryon. King Aegon, who was only eleven, agreed to make him his Hand, if he married Lady Alysanne Blackwood and pardoned Lord Corlys. Cregan accepted the conditions.

Cregan was in office for only one day and presided the trials and executions. Of the 22 conspirators, only Lord Corlys was forgiven and 19 chose to join the Night's Watch, but two chose to die; Larys the Clubfoot and Ser Gyles Belgrave, and it is very likely that Cregan executed them both personally, ending the line of House Strong. Once finished he resigned as Hand and returned north with his new wife, leaving some of his men behind. No man has ever served as Hand of the King so briefly, and left it so gladly.

Later in his life he once fought against Prince Aemon Targaryen the Dragonknight and was barely defeated. Aemon noted he never fought a finer swordsman.

He had three wives during his long lifetime: Arra Norrey, Alysanne Blackwood and Lynara Stark, and fathered in total ten children; five boys and five girls.

The marriage with Arra Norrey had only one son; Rickon Stark. The marriage with Alysanne Blackwood gave him four daughters; Sarra, Alys, Raya and Mariah. While he had four sons and a daughter with Lynara; Brandon, Jonnel, Barthogan, Lyanna and Edric Stark.
