House Celtigar

## House Celtigar of Claw Isle

**House Celtigar** of Claw Isle is a noble house of the Crownlands. Their seat is Claw Isle, off the coast of Crackclaw Point. Their words are *All in Our Grasp*. House Celtigar is sworn to House Baratheon of Dragonstone within the Crownlands. House Celtigar is Valyrian in origin, and members of this house often boast the tell-tale features.

The Celtigars' castle is rumored to hold fabulous treasures that bear witness to their wealth. Among these are Myrish carpets, Volantene glass, gold and silver plate, jeweled cups, magnificent hawks, a trained sea eagle, an axe of Valyrian steel, chests of rubies, a horn said to summon krakens from under the sea, and many fine wines.

The current head of the house is Jacaerys Celtigar.

## History

### The Targaryen Era

House Celtigar is an ancient and proud house, with the blood of old Valyria in its veins. Crispian Celtigar served as master of coin to Aegon I Targaryen. The Celtigars claim dominion over Crackclaw Point, but the inhabitants do not acknowledge their claim. When they surrendered peacefully to Visenya Targaryen during the War of Conquest, the people of Crackclaw were officially freed from pledging fealty to anyone but the Iron Throne.

#### The Dance of Dragons

During the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Bartimos Celtigar sat on the black council to Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen. The Celtigars still hold to the belief that Rhaenyra, and not Aegon, ought have succeeded the Iron Throne.

### The Baratheon Era

Lord Ardrian Celtigar bent the knee to Edric Baratheon immediately, traveling to King's Landing to bend the knee to the new King. Though Ardrian hoped for a seat on the Small Council, his ambitions were rebuffed and he was sent home to Claw Isle, where he spent the rest of his days. It was not until decades later that a Celtigar sat upon the King's Small Council; though Ardrian would not live to see it.

#### The Targaryen Invasion

When the Targaryens took Dragonstone, House Celtigar set about her own defenses in fear of a similar assault. When no such siege came, Lord Crispian Celtigar marched his forces on Crackclaw Point, hoping to subjugate the Targaryen loyalists that remained there. After a series of indecisive battles, the Celtigars were forced to retreat in good order, followed soon after by war's end.

## Recent Events

In 360AC, when Andal refugees fled their homeland in the east, they landed upon the coast of Westeros with fire and steel in hand. Answering the call of lord and land, House Celtigar raised a small fleet and hundreds of soldiers to help throw back the invaders to the north. Joining forces with the rest of the Crownlanders who departed, the Celtigars fought in several battles off the coast of the Vale.

During these conflicts, the then-heir of House Celtigar - newly knighted Ser Jacaerys Celtigar - first met the young Crown Prince Edric II Baratheon. They fought together for a brief while, until Jacaerys was captured by the Andals in late 360AC.

With Jacaerys thought to be lost, Aemond Celtigar served as heir from 360-363AC, when the eldest son of Ardrian was ransomed back from the Free Cities. With his marriage to the daughter of Gerold Baratheon, House Celtigar joined in matrimony with House Baratheon of Dragonstone.

In 367AC, Ardrian Celtigar died in his sleep. His son, Jacaerys Celtigar, inherited all lands and titles.
