Ormund Baratheon

Lord **Ormund Baratheon** was head of House Baratheon and Lord of Storm's End during the reign of Kings Aegon V and Jaehaerys II Targaryen. He also served as Hand of the King to Jaehaerys. He was married to Rhaelle Targaryen, and had one son with her, called Steffon.

## History

Ormund was the son and heir of Lord Lyonel Baratheon, who rose in rebellion against Aegon V. When the conflict was settled, it was arranged that Aegon's youngest daughter, Rhaelle, would be betrothed to Ormund, and sent to live in Storm's End. They were married in 245 AC, and had their son, Steffon, a year later.

Following the Tragedy of Summerhall, Ormund became Hand of the King to the new monarch, Jaehaerys II, who was also his brother-in-law. When the War of the Ninepenny Kings broke out, it was Ormund who was given command of the Targaryen armies. He was amongst the first casualties of the fighting, being killed by Maelys Blackfyre, and dying in the arms of his son, who inherited Storm's End. Ser Gerold Hightower took over command of the royal forces, whilst Edgar Sloane became the new Hand of the King.
Rhaella Targaryen

File:File-Rhaella Targaryen.jpeg
**Rhaella Targaryen** was the sister-wife of Aerys II Targaryen and the mother of Rhaegar Targaryen, Viserys III Targaryen, and Daenerys I Targaryen. She died during childbirth with Daenerys.

## Marriage

She was not happy to marry her brother Aerys II Targaryen but did it due to the command of their family. They had a very bad marriage, and Aerys II Targaryen would only sleep with her after just having executed someone by burning, which aroused him perversely. He regularly abused her.

## Death

Her son Rhaegar Targaryen died during the fall of House Targaryen, when she was pregnant. She later gave birth to Daenerys I Targaryen on Dragonstone. She died during childbirth, leaving behind only Viserys III Targaryen and Daenerys I Targaryen.
Rhalla Targaryen

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

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

Rhalla´s father was killed in battle in 43 AC, leading to Princess Rhaena to go into hiding with both Rhalla and Aerea. 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, Rhalla's sister Aerea was named his heir, while her uncle, Prince Jaehaerys was disinherited.

It is unknown what happened to Princess Rhalla later in life.
Randyll Tarly

Lord **Randyll Tarly** is the Lord of Horn Hill, and the head of House Tarly.

## Personality

Randyll is a renowned and almost legendary commander of soldiers and armies, but that is his one and only redeeming quality. He is unspeakably cruel to his eldest son Sam, and has been his entire life, so much that he actually confessed that nothing would please him more than hunting Sam down if the latter didn't take the black and renounce his claim to Horn Hill. A pitiless and utterly warlike man in the best of times, Randyll easily resorts to violent and sadistic punishments that (strangely) seem to match the crime. He is considered both dangerous and invaluable because of his ruthlessness. Randyll is also an especially proud man, hence his devotion to raising Dickon Tarly to become the prospective lord of Horn Hill.

## Family

He is married to Melissa Florent, who bore him two sons, Samwell and Dickon. He was disappointed in Samwell not being manly or brave enough, so he threatened him into joining the Night's Watch.

## History

During Robert's Rebellion he defeated Robert I Baratheon at Ashford. He is considered one of the best soldiers in Westeros.

## In the Books

After King Robert's death, he joined his liege lord, Mace Tyrell, in supporting Renly Baratheon. In the early stages of the War of the Five Kings, he advised Brienne of Tarth that the men had placed bets on her virginity, as well as advising her that women have no place on the battlefield. He also fought with House Lannister at Blackwater against Stannis Baratheon.

He protected the city of Duskendale, capturing Harrion Karstark and Robett Glover and killing Helman Tallhart. He later took the town of Maidenpool.

He marched from Maidenpool to King's Landing after hearing that Margaery Tyrell had been imprisoned on the command of Cersei Lannister. From there, he was named as a good candidate for Hand of the King, but Mace Tyrell took the position instead.

He became the Master of Laws in King's Landing, being given the title by Kevan Lannister as a way of repairing the Lannister-Tyrell alliance.

He had three sons, Brandon, Eddard, and Benjen, as well as a daughter, Lyanna.

When Lyanna was kidnapped by Crown Prince Rhaegar, Brandon, who was on his way to Riverrun to marry Catelyn Tully, went to King's Landing to declare that Rhaegar must be captured and tried. King Aerys interpreted this as treason, and Lord Rickard was summoned to court to re-swear his oaths of loyalty. Once there, he and his son were taken into custody, and Brandon was forced to watch as Aerys ordered Rickard to be roasted alive inside his own armor.

Lord Rickard was succeeded by his middle son, Eddard, who avenged his father by supporting Robert Baratheon's rebellion and bringing about the downfall of House Targaryen.

She is left pregnant, and now her mother is trying to get Tyrion to marry her. Varys helps Shae find a position as handmaiden to Lollys, because the city is too dangerous for her to stay in her own manse any longer. Lollys is eventually married to Bronn, as Cersei wants to keep Bronn from agreeing to act as Tyrion's champion, when he is on trial for the murder of Joffrey. With marriage comes money, land, title, etc. Tyrion cannot match all this, and Bronn would have too much to lose to agree to fight for Tyrion again.

A Septon named Eustace convinced Viserys to pardon Daemon, however, as he didn't want to succumb to the curse of kinslaying.

Lyonel and Harwin both died in a fire at Harrenhal. The fire was seen as an accident by some, but others thought that Larys and Harwin could have been murdered. Suspects included Daemon, Viserys, Lord Corlys Velaryon or Larys Strong, Lyonel's second son, who inherited Harrenhal upon his death.

Norvos

One of the nine Free Cities and a Theocracy.

Located in the the Hills of Norvos along the banks of Noyne, Norvos was founded by religious dissidents from Valyria who wished to have a city made up only of true believers. Although nominally ruled by a High Magister and a council, the Bearded Priests have true control over the city.

Only the Bearded Priests are allowed to have a full beard and mustache, free-men can have mustache (which they tend to wear large and long), while slaves and free women have to shave their heads bald. Norvosi noblewomen know how unusual this custom looks to outsiders, so they tend to wear full wigs when entertaining visitors from outside the city.

Rhoyne

The **Rhoyne** is a major river on the continent of Essos and is the ancestral homeland of the Rhoynar. It is located in the south of the Free Cities region.

## Location

The Rhoyne flows into the Summer Sea at the port city of Volantis, where it is several miles wide. It flows from the north-west to the south-east for several hundred miles, and forms the eastern boundary of the Disputed Lands. The Dothraki Sea lies to the east.

## History

Millennia ago, the Rhoyne, as a vast river fertilising the lands around it, became the home of a people called the Rhoynar, who lived along its banks, eventually coming to build several city-states along its banks, including one called Anar. The Rhoynar were warriors who could be ruled by men or women.

One thousand years ago, six centuries before the Doom of Valyria, the armies of the Valyrian Freehold invaded the region surrounding the River Rhoyne. The city of Anar was destroyed by Valyria's dragons as a sign of might. Rather than submit, Queen Nymeria led a mass evacuation of her people. According to legend, ten thousand ships of all sizes were assembled, sailed down the Rhoyne and into the sea, and thence westwards to Dorne, in the south of Westeros. There the Rhoynar invaded and subjugated the land, aided by allies such as Mors Martell, whom Nymeria married and proclaimed the Prince of Dorne.

Following the mass Rhoynar evacuation, the Valyrians colonised the region, building immense roads linking the Rhoyne to distant Valyria, and constructing the city of Volantis at the mouth of the river as a port and colony.

After the Doom of Valyria, Volantis attempted to conquer the surrounding region during the free-for-all known as the Bleeding Years, and begged for help from House Targaryen, then controlling the island of Dragonstone in the Narrow Sea. The Targaryens refused, instead embarking on an invasion of Westeros.

The Rhoyne became an important defensive bulwark and impediment against the Dothraki khalasars of the east in subsequent centuries.
Known world

File:Ice and Fire World Map.png
The world of *A Song of Ice and Fire* has no overall name, with its inhabitants simply referring to it as 'the world'.

The world stretches for thousands upon thousands of miles, the majority of it covered by ocean. There are four known continents: Westeros, Essos, Sothoryos and Ulthos.

## Continents

* Westeros: Located in the far west of the known world, Westeros is a long, thin continent stretching for some three thousand miles from the Wall to the Summer Sea, with an unknown amount of land north of the Wall. Most of Westeros is united as a single political entity known as the 'Seven Kingdoms', ruled by the King on the Iron Throne in the city of King's Landing.
* Essos: Separated from Westeros by the Narrow Sea, Essos is an immense landmass, several times larger than Westeros. Unlike unified Westeros, Essos is fractious and unruly, consisting of numerous powerful city-states and only a few kingdoms.
* Sothoryos: A hot, humid land of dense jungles and burning deserts, located south of Essos and south-east of Westeros. It is known for its ruined cities, hairy apes and devastating plagues.
* Ulthos: A mysterious and obscure landmass, this continent lies south of Essos and east of Sothoryos. Virtually nothing is known about it.

## Seas and oceans

* The Sunset Sea lies to the west of Westeros. There has been no verified, successful crossing of the Sunset Sea to whatever lands lie beyond. Some of the ironborn have claimed to have discovered islands several weeks' sail to the west of Westeros, but these claims have not been confirmed.
* The Summer Sea is a large ocean located south of Westeros and Essos, separating those continents from Sothoryos. The island of Great Moraq separates the Summer Sea from the Jade Sea to the east. The Summer Islands are located in the Summer Sea, south-east of Westeros and west of Sothoryos.
* The Narrow Sea divides Westeros from Essos. It is separated from the Summer Sea by the islands known as the Stepstones. Several of the Free Cities lies on its shores.
* The Shivering Sea is the polar ocean, located north-east of Westeros and north of Essos. It is a freezing sea, wracked by horrendous storms during winter. The island of Ibben lies in the Shivering Sea, three thousand miles east of Westeros.
* The Jade Sea is a substantial body of water located south of Essos, divided from the Summer Sea by the island of Great Moraq. The great cities of Qarth and Asshai are located on its shores, along with the forbidding Shadow Lands and the nation of Yi Ti.
Red Mountains

The **Red Mountains** is a mountain range extended over much of the southern region of Westeros. It divides Dorne from the Stormlands and from The Reach. It is inhabited by stony Dornishmen, known for having light skin, any color hair, and violet eyes. The two passes through the **Red Mountains** are Prince's Pass and the Boneway.

### Geography

There are many castles sorrounding the Red Mountains, such as Kingsgrave, Wyl, Yronwood, Skyreach and Blackmont. The Dornish mountains also countains the Tower of Joy. There are two principal passes through the mountains, the **Prince's Pass** and the **Boneway**.

Northwest of Dorne, the mountain range extends into the southern Reach. Horn Hill is located in the foothills of the northwestern Red Mountains.

The mountain range extends into The Reach northwest of Dorne. Horn Hill, guarded by House Tarly, is located in the northwestern mountains.
Iguanodon

***Iguanodon*** (IG-UA-no-don) was a genus of the Ornithopods. It was a bipedal/quadrupedal herbivore. It could stand on its hindlimbs, and yet normally walk on all fours. If attacked, it could dissuade a predator with its powerful thumb spike.

*Iguanodon* has become quite famous as a result of it's starring role in the Disney animated film *Dinosaur*, but before that it helped people understand what dinosaurs really looked like. It was one of the first complete skeletons ever found. This allowed scientists who had never seen a complete dinosaur, to figure out what it would have looked like in life. In fact, the first time this common dinosaur was found as just a partial skeleton, scientists put its thumb spike on its nose!

This was only the second dinosaur to be described, after *Megalosaurus*. Its teeth were discovered in the early 1820s in England - these original fossils were "rediscovered" in the British Museum in 1977. As nothing like it had ever been described in scientific literature, the teeth of this creature were a puzzle that an amateur paleontologist named Gideon Mantell solved by comparing them to the teeth of living animals. Mantell found that the teeth looked like those of a modern iguana and named it *Iguanodon*. He speculated that it was a huge extinct version of this modern reptile. It was in 1878 in a coal mine in Belgium that 24 fairly complete and articulated specimens were found. Although they were of a larger species, they clearly showed what this creature looked like in life.
Pate of Longleaf

Ser **Pate of Longleaf**, also known as **Longleaf the Lionslayer**, was an anointed knight during the Dance of the Dragons.

## History

Pate served as a squire during the Battle of the Red Fork, during which he mortally wounded Lord Jason Lannister, which he was knighted for. Longleaf the Lionslayer lad a ragged band of survivors from earlier battles to join up with Lords Bigglestone, Chambers, and Perryn at the Battle by the Lakeshore.

Ser Criston Cole offered single combat to Pate, Lord Roderick Dustin and Ser Garibald Grey, but all of them refused. Criston was instead killed by arrows, and his host was destroyed at the Butcher's Ball.
Giganotosaurus

***Giganotosaurus*** ("giant southern lizard") is currently one of the largest known meat-eating dinosaurs ever. For many years *Tyrannosaurus* held that record (although bits and pieces of *Carcharodontosaurus* and *Spinosaurus* showed that they were as large as any individual *T. rex*). Then, in 1995, paleontologists Rodolfo Coria and Leonardo Salgado reported the discovery of a new meat-eater bigger than any tyrant lizard. They named the giant dinosaur, *Giganotosaurus Carolina*.

Bone for bone, it was larger than the largest skeleton of *T. rex* ever found. The skull alone was 5 feet (1.5 m) long! What's more, a lower jaw bone was later found from an individual even bigger than the first one - with a skull perhaps 1.5 meters (5 feet) long.  *Giganotosaurus* was a gigantic dinosaur.

When *Giganotosaurus* was alive, the most common plant-eaters in South America were the titanosaur sauropods. While a single *Giganotosaurus* could kill a young titanosaur, it would take many *Giganotosauruses*to to bring down a giant adult. Originally, there was no evidence that *Giganotosaurus* hunted in groups, but a recent discovery from slightly younger rocks shows that they indeed may have lived in packs of 6-12 or more individuals.
Lucas Codd

**Lucas Codd**, better known as **Left-Hand Lucas Codd**, is an Ironborn raider and member of House Codd.

## Books

### A Feast for Crows

Lucas joined with Euron Greyjoy after Euron declared himself the new King of the Iron Islands. He is listed as one of Euron's supporters at the Kingsmoot on Old Wyk. After the Taking of the Shields, Lucas was present on Oakenshield, where he tored down the tapestries of House Hewett. After the feast he raped one of Lord Humfrey Hewett's daughters.
Magic

**Magic** or **sorcery** is a power in the world of *A Song of Ice and Fire*. It is regarded with scepticism in Westeros, as it has not been a notable force in the world since the Doom of Valyria. However, it remains more potent in Essos, where practioners known as warlocks and shadowbinders still hold great power.

## *A Game of Thrones*

Magic is said to have declined in the west after the Doom fell across Valyria and the Lands of the Long Summer, but remains extant in the lands to the east. Mirri Maz Duur, a *maegi* of the Lhazareen, uses sorcery to prolong the life of Khal Drogo, but only as a drooling imbecile. Daenerys Targaryen sacrifices both Duur and Drogo's body on a funeral pyre which results in the hatching of her three dragons.

## *A Clash of Kings*

Melisandre, a shadowbinder from Asshai, uses sorcery to create shadows to kill Renly Baratheon and Courtney Penrose. In Qarth Daenerys Targaryen comes into conflict with the Undying, a guild of warlocks, but defeats them with her dragons. The Guild of Alchemists in King's Landing also notes that their ability to create wildfire has dramatically increased in the last few months (since the birth of Daenerys's dragons, suggesting a causal relationship between the two).

## *A Storm of Swords*

Thoros of Myr uses magic to resurrect Lord Beric Dondarrion from death several times.

## *A Feast for Crows*

Archmaster Marwyn of the Citadel discovers the Valyrian glass candles, which have been dormant for four centuries, have started working again in the last few months.

see also; Images of Mance Rayder.

Mance is of middling height, slender, sharp faced, with shrewd brown eyes and long brown hair that had gone mostly to grey. He wears no crown in his head, no gold rings on his arm, no jewels at his throat; his only garment of note is his ragged black wool cloak, its long tears patched with faded red silk.

## History

Mance was a sworn brother of the Night's Watch. One day in a ranging with his Brothers, they brought down an elk, but the smell of blood drew a Shadow-Cat. It shredded Mance arm, back and his cloak, and he was bleeding so badly that his brothers feared he might die before they get him to Maester Mullin at the Shadow Tower, so they carried him to a Wildling village where they knew an old woman who could do some healing. The woman was dead, but her daughter cleaned his wounds and fed him potions until he was strong enough to ride again.

 File:Mance Rayder by Filipe Ferreira.jpg
The daughter sewed the rents in his cloak with some scarlet silk from Asshai that her grandmother pulled from the wreck of a cog washed up on the Frozen Shore. It was her greatest treasure and her gift to Mance.

At the Shadow Tower, he was given the usual black in black cloak of the Night's Watch, and Ser Denys Mallister told him that his old cloak was fit for burning. Mance Rayder left the next morning; "... For a place where a kiss was not a crime, and a man could wear any cloak he choose." according to him.

## Books

After serving as a noted ranger in the Watch for some time, he deserted for the freedom to wear a cloak of whatever color he wanted. In *A Storm of Swords*, he takes Jon Snow into his camp of wildlings who are marching south to the Wall. He has found the Horn of Winter, which, according to myth, can bring down the Wall for good.
Kingsroad

The **Kingsroad** is possibly the most well-traveled road in all of Westeros. It leads from King's Landing to the Wall. It greatly increases mobility and traveling speed, compared to the other roads of Westeros.

## Cartography

The Kingsroad begins at King's Landing and heads north through Westeros. It passes God's Eye and Harrenhal, crosses the Trident, runs through the Neck, and passes Moat Cailin and the White Knife before reaching Winterfell and the Wolfswood. From there it runs north through the Gift to Castle Black at the Wall.

## Recent events

### A Game of Thrones

While Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon use the Kingsroad to travel to King's Landing, Jon Snow uses it to travel to Castle Black and join the Night's Watch.

Old Gods

The children of the forest were the first inhabitants of Westeros and they worshiped the Old Gods. These were the ancient spirits of the forest which were given form in the sacred weir wood trees, which the children gave faces to and through which green seers could see throughout the lands.

The First Men arrived in Westeros crossing over a bridge of land that in those days connected Dorne to Essos. They fought bitterly against the Children of the Forest, but eventually reached a truce. In time the First Men adopted the gods of the children and worshiped at the weir wood heart trees.

When the Andal invaders came to Westeros, they brought with them the worship of the Seven Gods, which became the dominant religion in the lower six kingdoms, but in the north which the Andals never conquered, worship of the Old Gods continued.
Parasaurolophus

***Parasaurolophus*** is a hadrosaurid (sometimes called a duck-billed dinosaur) from approximately 76.5–73 million years ago (late Cretaceous). It is a herd animal feeding on the park’s rich vegetation. The most stunning feature of the *Parasaurolophus* is the crest on its head. Scientists were unsure of its function until today. Some believed it was a snorkel for when the animal was in water, others felt that it was used in combat. We now know that it serves for display and for communication, allowing the animals to remain in contact over distance by amplifying their haunting, beautiful cries.

Amargasaurus

**Amargasaurus** is a genus of sauropod dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous Period. It could reach a length of 10 meters (33 feet). A distinctive feature of this dinosaur is the two parallel rows of tall spines down its neck and back, taller than in any other known sauropod. It is an example of Convergent Evolution; with Thyreophoran-like, almost Spinosaurian dorsal, cervical, and caudal vertebral spines.
Diplodocus

***Diplodocus*** is a very famous giant Jurassic plant-eater. It was a huge, long-necked dinosaur, reaching lengths of up to 30 meters (100 feet) long. In fact, it is the longest complete dinosaur skeleton ever discovered. Since its hind legs were longer than its front legs, *Diplodocus* probably ate plants that were low to the ground. It was so big, however, that it could push trees over in order to get the leaves at the top down to the ground. It would probably stand on its hind legs to push, but it could not hold that pose for very long, because of the animals great mass.

*Diplodocus* is the namesake of the diplodocid family - long neck, pillar-like legs, long tapering tail and enormous size. It had, like the other family members, peg-like teeth in an elongated head that seemed very small for such a large creature. There is much speculation about how much these creatures needed to eat and how such a small head could ingest enough food to fuel such a large body. Some scientists have stated that these huge, small-headed creatures would have needed to eat every waking moment in order to provide enough food to keep such a large body alive.

Like many other large sauropods, *Diplodocus* probably swallowed stones which it kept in a gizzard similar to that found in a chicken to facilitate digesting food. The tough plant fibers would spend time in the gizzard stewing and being ground up by the stones. There is some speculation about the use of the very long tail of *Diplodocus* and other members of its family. If it was used as a weapon, it would be very deadly. Because of its length, the speed at the tip, if swung forcefully, would have been very high, possibly faster than the speed of sound.

*Diplodocus* is known from two species, one of which was longer than the other. The longer species was originally classified under its own genus, ***Seismosaurus***, until scientists concluded it was a new species of *Diplodocus*.
Baryonyx

***Baryonyx*** is a Spinosaur, a member of the same group as the northern African dinosaurs *Spinosaurus* and *Suchomimus*. *Baryonyx* was smaller than these relatives but was still a big predator. It was 10 meters (33 feet) long and 2.5 meters (8 feet) high at the hips. It had a long, narrow snout filled with teeth that were cone-shaped - a real difference from the blade-shaped teeth of typical meat-eating dinosaurs.

Because of the shape of its snout and teeth (both of which are similar to those of modern crocodiles and alligators), some paleontologists think that *Baryonyx* ate lots of fish. Others, however, think it ate other dinosaurs. In fact, both ideas are supported by the original *Baryonyx* specimen from Surrey, England. In the guts of this dinosaur, palaeontologists found the partially digested scales of large fish as well as the partially digested bones of a young *Iguanodon*. This strongly supports the idea that *Baryonyx* ate both fish *and*dinosaurs.
Spinosaurus

***Spinosaurus*** ("spined lizard") was a theropod dinosaur that existed in what is now North Africa during the Cretaceous period. *Spinosaurus* is the largest of all known carnivorous dinosaurs, even larger than *Carcharodontosaurus*, Giganotosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus.

Its most distinctive feature was the huge sail-like fin on its back. This sail was made from spines that come out of the top of the backbones of all dinosaurs and all other backboned animals. The spines of *Spinosaurus* were tremendous, with the longest one found being over 1.7 meters (5 feet) tall. The dinosaur may have used its sail to make itself look bigger. It is also possible that the sail might have been used to show off to attract a mate.
Tyrannosaurus

3.66 meters

***Tyrannosaurus rex***, commonly known as ***T. rex***, is a species of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, 68 to 66 million years ago. Arguably the most famous species of dinosaur, *T. rex* lived in what is now North America, alongside species such as *Ankylosaurus*, *Edmontosaurus*, *Pachycephalosaurus* , and *Triceratops*.

Like other tyrannosaurids, *Tyrannosaurus* was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Relative to its large and powerful hindlimbs, *Tyrannosaurus* forelimbs were short but unusually powerful for their size and had two clawed digits. The most complete specimen measures up to 12.3 m (40 ft) in length, up to 3.66 meters (12 ft) tall at the hips, and according to most modern estimates 8.4 metric tons (9.3 short tons) to 14 metric tons (15.4 short tons) in weight. Although other theropods rivaled or exceeded *Tyrannosaurus rex* in size, it is still among the largest known land predators and is estimated to have exerted the largest bite force among all terrestrial animals. By far the largest carnivore in its environment, *Tyrannosaurus rex* was most likely an apex predator, preying upon hadrosaurs, armored herbivores like ceratopsians and ankylosaurs, and possibly sauropods. Some experts have suggested the dinosaur was primarily a scavenger. The question of whether *Tyrannosaurus was* an apex predator or a pure scavenger was among the longest debates in paleontology. Most paleontologists today accept that *Tyrannosaurus* was both an active predator and a scavenger.

More than 50 specimens of *Tyrannosaurus rex* have been identified, some of which are nearly complete skeletons. Soft tissue and proteins have been reported in at least one of these specimens. The abundance of fossil material has allowed significant research into many aspects of its biology, including its life history and biomechanics. The feeding habits, physiology, and potential speed of *Tyrannosaurus rex* are a few subjects of debate. Its taxonomy is also controversial, as some scientists consider the *Tarbosaurus bazaar from* Asia to be a second *Tyrannosaurus* species while others maintain *Tarbosaurus* is a separate genus. Several other genera of North American tyrannosaurids have also been synonymized with *Tyrannosaurus*.

As the archetypal theropod, *Tyrannosaurus* is one of the best-known dinosaurs since the 20th century and has been featured in film, advertising, and postal stamps, as well as many other types of media.

Lymond Vikary

Ser **Lymond Vikary** is a landed knight, and the head of House Vikary.

## Books

### A Clash of Kings

Ser Lymond was part of the new Lannister host being gathered by Ser Stafford Lannister at Oxcross. He was reported slain when Robb Stark ambushed them at the Battle of Oxcross.

### A Storm of Swords

Reports of his death were unture, and he was instead taken prisoner and held at Wayfarer's Rest.
Mord

**Mord** is the brutish and vicious jailer at the Eyrie who tormented Tyrion Lannister and, evidently other prisoners. He is in charge of the upkeep and maintenance of the sky cells of the Eyrie

The almost saintly aura which surrounds Jon Arryn should perhaps be tempered by the fact that he long employed, and presumably approved of Mord.

## Appearances and Character

Mord is a very unattractive person: he has small dark eyes and rotting brown teeth. The left side of his face is scarred where an axe cut off his ear and part of his cheek. He has a large belly and thick, stubby-fingered hands.

Mord is a petty, dimwitted, and cruel man who delights in tormenting prisoners and telling them how they are going to fall out of the cells to their deaths on the rocks six hundred feet below the castle. He took Tyrion's coat when he first got imprisoned in the Sky Cells.
Quetzalcoatlus

***Quetzalcoatlus*** was a pterosaur known from the Late Cretaceous of Texas (Maastrichtian stage, 72.1–66.0 million years ago). It was a member of the Azhdarchidae, a family of advanced toothless pterosaurs with unusually long, stiffened necks. Its name comes from the Mesoamerican feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl.
Allosaurus

***Allosaurus*** ("different lizard") was the most common predator of the Late Jurassic period and the most dangerous. Like most meat-eating dinosaurs, its jaws were filled with serrated teeth shaped like blades. Computer studies suggest that *Allosaurus* attacked by using its upper jaw like a machete to hack at its victim, then it used its lower jaw to bite out a slice of meat, although recent studies have proven this unlikely. In terms of size, it was the third largest theropod of its era, only the likes of the megalosaurid *Torvosaurus* (10-11 meters or 33-36 feet with a 4-5 tons of weight behind it) or *Saurophaganax* (12-13 meters or 40-43 feet with 3 tons of weight behind it) exceeded it in size and weight. It averaged around 8.5 meters long (28 feet) and around 3 meters (10 feet) tall. However, there is evidence they could grow to lengths of 11 to 12 meters (36-40 feet), though its weight would be less than the *Torvosaurus*, which was the heavy weight theropod of the Jurassic.

It might have been easy for an *Allosaurus* to kill a fairly defenseless dinosaur-like *Camptosaurus*, but *Stegosaurus* could certainly fight back, and the sauropods (giant long-necks) were so huge that they could easily crush even an adult *Allosaurus*with a blow from their tail, or a stomp from their legs. Thus it is thought that the *Allosaurus* hunted in large hunting gangs, similar to that of the Komodo dragon. While this means they hunted 'together', it was still every *Allosaur* for itself. Often times, an entire gang of these dinosaurs would be killed by their prey or by natural hazards, showing they had poor group planning.

It is known that *Allosaurus* led a dangerous life. The *Allosaurus*on display at the Smithsonian Institute has a smashed shoulder blade, many broken ribs, and a lower jaw so damaged that paleontologists didn't realize it was an *Allosaurus* jaw for over 100 years! But these were tough dinosaurs: Their bones show that they lived long enough for their wounds to heal.

Triceratops

***Triceratops*** was a very common dinosaur which lived at the very end of the Cretaceous period. It had a huge frilled head with horns over each eye that could reach over 4 feet long. *Triceratops* had a third, smaller horn on its nose. These would be fearsome weapons against a predator.

*Triceratops* is one of the most common dinosaur fossils found. More than 50 skulls have been found. Within the genus, at least 7 species have been identified. The ceratopsian family is one of the most successful and varied of the Late Cretaceous. *Triceratops* is the largest member of this family, reaching the size of a school bus.

*Triceratops* was a herd animal; it is believed that large groups numbering into the hundreds roamed North America. Their large, horny beaks and long rows of teeth were well designed for chewing the tough, low-growing plants of the Late Cretaceous. It was likely the main predator of these animals was *Tyrannosaurus rex*. A number of skeletons show bite and chew marks that match the teeth of *T. rex*. Horns and frills seemed to vary among individuals within the species. Some frills were very broad, others narrow. The nasal horn shows the most variance among individual specimens, no two being the same. The material that covered its horns in life would have added significantly to the length of the fossilized bone.

In 2009 researchers under supervision of Jack Horner argued that *Triceratops* was actually a juvenile version of *Torosaurus*. The massive frill of *Triceratops* would grow longer and thinner in time, until it may have had the same holes as seen in *Torosaurus* (see Triceratops#Torosaurus as growth stage of Triceratops). However, this evidence has yet to be fully accepted by the scientific community.
Dilophosaurus

***Dilophosaurus*** was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs of the Early Jurassic Period. *Dilophosaurus* gets its name from the two thin crests of bone on the top of its head. These were probably used as a display for courtship purposes (it's unlikely that it had a frill like the movie suggests). *Dilophosaurus* has been found in the United States.

As a more primitive predatory dinosaur, *Dilophosaurus* didn't have forward facing eyes to give it stereo vision. It may have used scent as an integral part of its hunting technique. It had long and slender, rear-curving teeth in long jaws and strong front arms which would have been effective in grabbing prey. It was fast - probably with a top speed of about 30-mph. It also had a long tail that could have been used as a whip in a fight. Footprints attributed to *Dilophosaurus* appear in groups, so it may have hunted in small packs. It shares the same overall body configuration as *Coelophysis* even though *Dilophosaurus* is currently classified as a member of a different group of theropods rather than *Coelophysis* and its relatives.
Nymeria Sand

**Nymeria Sand** is the bastard daughter of Prince Oberyn Martell and a noble lady of Volantis.

## Books

### A Feast for Crows

Nymeria claims that she was abed with the Fowler twins when she heard of her father's death. She rode out to meet Prince Doran Martell as he makes his journey from the Water Gardens to Sunspear, and suggests that, as vengeance for her father, aunt and cousins, she be allowed to assassinate Lord Tywin Lannister, Queen Cersei Lannister, Lord Commander Jaime Lannister and King Tommen I Baratheon. Doran rejects the notion, and later has Nymeria arrested with the rest of the Sand Snakes.
Stegosaurus

***Stegosaurus*** is easily one of the best-known dinosaurs and is recognized all over the world. It is the largest and most famous member of the stegosaur family. It roamed the open plains of the Late Jurassic Period in what is now North America. The plates along its back, its small head, and spiked tail make it a peculiar and unique dinosaur. This plant-eater evolved to find its food in the low-growing plants of the late Jurassic. The spikes on its tail would have made a powerful weapon against any hungry predators.

*Stegosaurus* is often called the dumbest dinosaur because of its incredibly small brain. Most scientists originally believed that its brain was too small to control such a large creature and that it used an auxiliary "brain" located above its rear legs to help control its movements. This was not a brain, but a bundle of nerves that helped relay information from its real brain. Its brain was once thought to have been the size of a walnut, but CAT scans proved that it was the size of a kitten.

Most fascinating to people are the plates along its back. There has been a great deal of debate about their use and arrangement. The plates were up to 2-feet tall and 2-feet wide (.6 m). The most prevalent theory is that they were used for cooling or heating the animal. However, a more recent theory suggests that they could have been used as a display during courtship and that they may have been brightly colored. It is also possible that they could move up and down, perhaps to intimidate predators.

The spikes on its tail are also the subjects of some controversy. For years, every model of *Stegosaurus* showed it with the spikes sticking up into the air. It is only since the 1990s that it has become accepted that these spikes stuck out horizontal to the ground, which would have been a potent defensive weapon when swung at a hunter.

*Stegosaurus* would have lived in family groups and herds, moving slowly through forests while eating the low-growing plants. Its front legs were considerably shorter than its hind legs, making it adapted to nibbling the plants closest to the ground. *Stegosaurus* is the namesake for a large family of dinosaurs whose members were found all over the world. The *Stegosaurus* was a peaceful herbivore and probably roamed the prehistoric highlands in herds that size from small to large numbers, grazing on low ground plants. An average *Stegosaurus* was about the size of an elephant, standing about 11 feet tall. It had a very low intelligence (its brain was the size of a kitten). The bony plates on its back may have served a dual purpose of body temperature regulation and protection from large flesh-eating predators. Different species vary in the number of plates on their backs.
