In the immediate aftermath of the Siege of Harvest Hall, the bannermen of House Selmy rallied under the victorious Lord Joseph and his eldest son Barristan II. Lord Selmy and his firstborn took a few months to recover his strength after the Siege, which included bringing in more recruits for his levy and handing out equipment to his soldiers. In this time it was debated whether to seek the intervention of their overlords of House Blackfyre, but Lord Joseph was convinced that House Selmy could take the fight to the Outlaws on their own.

As for the Brotherhood, the following months were spent preparing the Wheatwood with an assortment of traps, barricades, and other obstacles to hinder House Selmy's advance into the Wheatwood. Brennan Stormfist, who was still reeling from his defeat at Harvest Hall, effectively used propaganda to persuade disillusioned young peasants into joining his "Righteous" cause which Stormfist claimed was a war against nobility. Either way, House Selmy would eventually launch its offensive into the Wheatwood where they would be met by the guerrilla forces of the Brotherhood.

House Stonehouse

**House Stonehouse** is a noble house from Old Wyk, one of the Iron Islands. They are one of the main houses currently sworn to House Blacktyde.

**House Stonehouse**'s sigil is a black brazier on a grey masonry field, and their house words are "We blazon our arms upon the pyre".

## History

Not much is known regarding House Stonehouse's past as it has been widely left unrecorded. However, it has been noted that in several instances House Stonehouse has been involved in several conflicts such as the War of the Five Kings and later had a member of their house serve as Victarion Greyjoy's Champion during a Kingsmoot.

In 388, Ragnar Stonehouse's head of house and uncle, Euron Stonehouse, managed to secure House Drumm's ancestral weapon of Red Rain by brokering a deal before his death. This blade now stands as the house's new ancestral weapon passed down to the new lords of the house.

## Household Members

* Lord Ragnar Stonehouse
* Ice Stonehouse
House Florent

**House Florent of Brightwater Keep** is one of the Noble Houses of Westeros. Castle or Keep is their seat of rule.

Paragraph 2. The (House) sigil is a golden rose on a green field, and their words are *"Words".*

Paragraph 3.Titles traditionally held by the house.

Paragraph 4. Relevant brief info about the house.
Ragnar Stonehouse

**Ragnar Stonehouse**, a man of unremarkable stature, bears the physical evidence of a tumultuous past—his body adorned with numerous scars and the visible affliction of Greyscale. His dark, shoulder-length hair and piercing blue-green eyes tell a story of resilience and survival.

Raised as if he were a commoner, Ragnar's life took a dramatic turn when he joined an expedition to the perilous Smoking Sea. A twist of fate led the ship off course, sinking it, and Ragnar soon found himself marooned in the mysterious land of Sothoryos. For thirteen years, he eeked out a living as a pirate, facing the perils of the jungle and contracting Greyscale, a testament to his endurance in the face of adversity.

Fate intervened once again when he encountered a group of Ironborn sailors on, seeking trade for exotic fruits and plants. Striking a deal, Ragnar joined them on their journey back to the Iron Islands, motivated by the promise of wealth earned during his piratical exploits. Little did he know that this voyage would alter the course of his destiny.

Returning to the Iron Islands, Ragnar's appearance raised eyebrows among the nobility, drawing comparisons to the long-lost Lord Euron Stonehouse who vanished on an ill-fated expedition to the Smoking Sea thirteen years prior, leaving no heirs. seizing an opportunity, Ragnar claimed to be the nephew of the missing Lord Stonehouse, a declaration supported by nobles with ties to the family's past.

With the backing of influential allies, Ragnar's legitimacy was acknowledged, albeit with scepticism, and he was granted a dilapidated Saltcliffe by Lord Paramount Mirage Blacktyde. This decision was spurred by the transformation of the Stonehouse's ancestral seat, Old Wyk, into a forum for discussions on matters concerning the Isles.

The question of Ragnar's true lineage remains a subject of heated debate among the islanders. Regardless, he now bears the mantle of Lord Stonehouse, armed with the ancestral Valyrian Steel blade of House Drumm —Red Rain—a weapon bestowed upon him upon his recognition as the rightful Lord, purchased by the previous Stonehouse from House Drumm. His speech carries the echoes of a foreign land, a testament to his years spent in the enigmatic and treacherous jungles of Sothyros.

**Tytos Blackwood** is lord of the Riverlands and is a thin, tall man with short black hair and dark beard.

Tytos is often seen adorned in Dark clothing, more often than not a long dark tunic or robe over long dark under-garments. He also has a set of golden armor inlayed with a quartz tree pattern that represents the dead weirwood of Raventree Hall.

Long ago the Blackwoods were one of the oldest houses in Westeros, they ruled over most of Wolfswood in the North until they were driven away by members of House Stark. Eventually they settled at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush in the Riverlands and built their new ancestral home called Raventree Hall. The Blackwoods never liked their neighbours, the Brackens and the same goes for Lord Tytos.

Tytos is considered a fierce warrior and a great leader who has at times lead armies into battle, but only when he felt battle necessary.

Peter Johnstone

Born 1954, Tuatapere, Southland

Doodler and writer, prints 50 copy batch double sided photocopying as required. Also makes text story booklets. Willing to give them away free. Metaphoric deep thought, or absurdist humour. Intellectual sometimes.

When Peter Johnstone published his first comic, he had no idea how to distribute it. So he selected names at random from the electoral roll and posted them each a copy. This is typical of Johnstone's inventive approach to comics and life. He left school at 13 with no qualifications and lives on the Invalids Benefit. He has never earned a wage - "I do jobs that are worth doing, not worth money. I don't know what money is worth." Comics were the first things he read and he has continued to read them into adulthood, maintaining eclectic tastes. He has published many solo comics, including Interlace and the The Alchemist (1987), River Comic (1991), Maiden NZ (1992), Ignored by Millions (1993), Dunedin 1926 (1993), Inroads (1996), A Doodley Doodley Doing (1997) and a loving tribute to 60s Marvel comics Tributary Tales (1997). He is a fierce advocate for New Zealand comics and a prolific letter-writer to comics and cartoonists.

House Wode

**House Wode** of Hedgeguard stands as one of the esteemed Noble Houses in the sprawling landscape of Westeros, finding its abode within the lush and fertile Riverlands. At the heart of this noble lineage lies Hedgeguard, their ancestral seat, a bastion of chivalry and cooperation revered throughout the region.

**House Wode**'s sigil is three white hedgehogs on a yellow field, and their house words are "Touch Me Not".

## History

House Wode's history is veiled in enigma, a shroud of mystery that conceals their origins. Nevertheless, their lineage is said to be traced back to a wandering knight who chose to settle in the region now known as their cherished homeland. Through the ages, they have steadfastly preserved the knightly way, passing it down from one generation to the next. They proudly claim the title "Defenders of the Commoners," a moniker that transcends mere words, resonating through their noble deeds and unswerving dedication to protecting the people.

Though they may be regarded as unassuming in size and perhaps unremarkable to some, House Wode conceals ambition, cunning, and a profound chivalrous spirit that could rival even the most eminent of the great houses.

## Household Members

* Lord Alyn Wode
* Lord-Paramount Robert Wode
* Commander Tomas Wode
* Madilynn Wode

## Notable Persons

* Maester Anders Puddle
* Captain Theodosius Heren
* Einarr Dain
* Lady Ilysia Wode-Clegane (Separated)

* In 408 AC, Lady Ilysia Wode-Clegane having grown distressed due to her distant friend Solona Stark's trouble decided best to lock herself within a quarters and hadn't been heard from by family or noble alike. Presumed dead, her marriage to Lord Robert Wode was ceased.
* In 408 AC, Lord Alyn Wode abdicated from his position of Lord Paramount of the Riverlands declaring Lord Robert Wode his successor for the position, this was ultimately accepted and Robert was later announced as the new region ruler and head of house.
Family Portraits

***Family Portraits: Stories about who we are, and how we love*** is a series of short comic stories by Sam Orchard that amplify the stories of intersectional identities within rainbow communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. The series consists of three issues, published and toured after an extremely successful kickstarter on the 6th of September 2014.

Family Portraits tells the stories of a group of unique individuals, and explores the awesomeness of their sexual orientations and/or gender identities. These stories celebrate the differences and diversity in our communities. They look at how our ages, histories,genders, beliefs and ethnicities shape our experiences of ourselves, and how we live in the world. These comics peel back the concepts of sexuality and gender, examining how we feel, how we identify, and how we belong to different overlapping communities.

Sam has been really lucky to chat with some amazing kiwis to create stories that explore a range of topics, like what it was like to be in a gay relationship before Homosexual law reform in New Zealand, and what it’s like to be a first-generation queer from a migrant background. This series is a first-of-it’s-kind in New Zealand (as far as he’s aware), and it’s all about celebrating our lives, our diversity, and our selves. Each story is told using a different comic style.

The comic can be used as a way to educate, breakdown barriers, and help people to understand more about LGBTI communities. The first issue  features ‘Queer 101’, a comic guide to sexuality, sex, and gender, it’s a resource that has been used all over the world to help demystify sexuality and gender. The stories can be used as educational tools, and conversation starters, to help people feel safer about belonging to rainbow communities.

Claire Harris

Raised in Gore and Christchurch and based in Wellington, **Clarie Harris**’ practice includes narrative media such as video, installation and live performance, approached from a background in photography and self-published indie comics.

Drawing on celebrity and fan cultures, and on the cultural fabric of her childhood, including family history and globalised American popular culture, Harris’ work often manifests as the fan made and/or homemade object. The use of humour in her work is both purposeful and inevitable: "When I’m serious people think it’s funny, and when I’m genuine it gets called irony.”
