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.
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

During the Dornish-Triarchy War, Bloodstone was the site of a small-scale skirmish between the Archon's forces and Dornish colonisers.

Since the conclusion of the Dornish-Triarchy War, the island has been under the control of the Guild of the Blue. At the command of Lysor Balarr, the isle has been extensively re-colonised and the new settlement of Port Mulberry constructed, which currently serves at the headquaters of the Guild of the Blue.

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

Since the conclusion of the Dornish-Triarchy War, the island has been under the control of the Spicers Guild.

## 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.
Artos Tallhart

Artos Tallhart is a scion of House Tallhart from the North, currently in training at the Citadel as a Novice.

## Biography

### A Mere Sapling - *Birth-Childhood*

Artos was born to Harrion and Harma Tallheart at Torrhen's Square in 374 AC. As a young child, Artos did not share the big dreams of knighthood and kinghood of most boys. Rather, he was infatuated with books, and the knowledge that could be found within them. While most boys were taught to read by some maester or another during long lessons, Artos taught himself to read- albeit, after studying the castle maester for some time.

### All Trees Grow - *Adolescence*

After learning to read, it was only a matter of time before he began to write as well. With the assistance of maester Hargrave, Artos began taking up small tasks, such as writing out small orders for Hargrave or penning letters to minor nobles. Eventually he got to the point where he could almost perfectly replicate the maester's own handwriting, if not for a few minor discrepancies.

### Fire In The Forest - Young Adulthood

Despite Artos' considerable gains in the fields of learning, his father always wanted him to hone his skill in arms. Even with intense effort on Artos' end, he was never a very capable fighter, being deemed competent at best by the master at arms at Torrhen's Square. The disappointment on his father's face the day he told him he wanted to be a maester almost changed his mind, but he stuck to his dreams after maester Hargrave reaffirmed that his goal was a noble and respectable one. He spent a few more moons learning under maester Hargrave before he finally set out for the Citadel with nothing more than a few changes of clothes, some coin provided by his father, and his cousin Arthor Holt.

### Room To Grow - *Present Day*

Artos has just arrived to the Citadel knowing little more than their pursuit of knowledge. Hopefully he can make his way in such a massive place of learning, without breaking *too* many rules while he's at it.

## Timeline

* 374 AC - Artos is born to Harrion Tallhart and his Lady Harma.
* 379 AC - Artos develops a passion for books, learning to read on his own.

Artys Arryn

Artys Arryn is the Lord of the Eyrie, although since the events of Brynden's Rebellion his family no longer rules over the Vale.

## Biography

Artys’ life started in 340AC in the cold depths of the Eyrie at the Gates of the Moon. The Eyrie was always a quiet place compared to most castles of other lords. The difficult journey and small space meant fewer supplies and people could inhabit the keep. For Artys, it was something he struggled with as a child. As the future heir to the Vale, he was kept ‘safe’ in the Eyrie until his teenage years. During that time, he would engage in courses on how to be a proper lord. Artys detested these lessons. He would rather spend his time listening to the comers and goers of the Eyrie where he would do his best to stay informed of the happenings in the realm.

Life continued for Artys into his young adult life. He married a comely woman, Alysanne of House Templeton. While their marriage lacked much passion, it resulted in three children which Artys loved. His firstborn, Roland, quickly learned swordplay well. To Artys, his son was everything he himself had once sought to be.

As the years went on, Artys’ aging father began to lose his mind with time. He foolishly joined Brynden’s rebellion for the wrong side. House Arryn was stripped of its position as Lord Protectors of the Vale, a title Artys had been waiting for his entire life. It was a miracle Lord Arryn managed to keep his life. However, the aging Lord’s mind worsened further after the war. In 287AC, Artys took control as Lord of the Eyrie. This complicated the relationship between Artys and his father, but to Artys, it had to be done.

3 years later, Artys stands as a proud father and lord who seeks to right the wrongs done to his house. He travels to King’s Landing for the feast as rumors of King Edmund’s illness begin to spread. With a mission in mind, Artys and his family look eagerly towards the future. Chaos is a ladder.

Scions of House Dalt were also among those captured when the Water Gardens were raised a few moons later, hostages that would be traded for a declaration of surrender when the Archon's men came to besiege Lemonwood.

Despite this, the castle would not change hands bloodlessly.

Ser Walter Dalt as heir to the castle had been a popular figure among the residents of Lemonwood. His fall still stirred a heat within the blood of the Master-at-Arms and several others, a heat that grew greater still in the warmth of the midday sun. Feigning surrender, some three dozen men sallied forth from the gates at their opened, cutting down near twice their number before finally being overwhelmed and slain.

 History

### The Golden Dragon's Invasion (299-300 AC)

#### Marriage

After leaving Astapor at the behest of Illyrio Mopatis, Daenerys met with the Pentoshi Magister in Volantis, where she was introduced to her cousin and future husband Aegon Targaryen. Initially skeptical, affection soon blossomed between the pair, and with their union, their respective armies of Unsullied and Golden Company forming a fearsome force.

#### Invasion of Braavos

Knowing that a fleet would be necessary to conquer Westeros, the pair decided that Braavos would serve as their answer, prompting a sudden invasion of the city. The strike would deliver them the city, but deal grevious damage to much of the construction - none more so than the Titan protecting the Bay. Despite it, much of the fleet was spared, allowing for their plans for Westeros to be realised.

Until Daenerys discovered that she was with child. Not wanting to risk hurting their heir, she decided she would stay in Braavos and join Aegon once she had given birth.

#### Invasion of Westeros

Aegon launched his invasion in the Crownlands, and with the combined armies of the Unsullied and the Golden Company, along with Rhaegal, he was able to defeat the Westerosi armies in several battles. His victory seemed certain as he swept across the Crownlands and secured the Kingsroad, preparing for a decisive assault of King’s Landing. When the time to assault King’s Landing finally came, the Westerosi could hope for nothing less than a miracle. Aegon lead the Golden Company through the gates, while the Unsullied scaled the walls. Rhaegal breathed fire down on to the armies below, and the Braavosi fleet swiftly took the port. Tragedy struck however when a lone bowman shot Aegon in the chest. Hoping to save Aegon’s life, a large contingent of men escorted Aegon from the city. Chaos among his army broke out, and when reinforcements arrived to help the defenders, the invaders were able to be forced out of King’s Landing.

#### Conclusion

It wasn’t long before Aegon died to his injuries, and an emissary of the Iron Throne went to Braavos to request peace with Daenerys. When she received the news of Aegon’s death she was furious, but she came to realize that her quest to take back the Iron Throne had led to nothing but suffering. She agreed to peace, and stayed in Braavos to help raise her newborn son. Daenerys decided to rule from the Sealord’s Palace, now renamed the Dragon’s Palace. She also decided to paint its door red, and plant a lemon tree orchard outside of it.
Brienne of Tarth

Brienne of Tarth, also known as Brienne the Blue gained fame first as a Kingsguard to King Renly Baratheon, a Knight Errant for Lady Catelyn Stark and then Lady of Casterly Rock when she was wed to her love, Jaime Lannister.

## Lady of Casterly Rock

Brienne would be the one to convince Ser Jaime Lannister to take up the mantle as Warden of the West.

From Opalton the nobility of Doquu trade with the rest of the Summer Isles, and even occasionally send ships filled with rare gemstones to the north to Westeros and northeast to Essos.

## Ruler

The Island of Doquu is ruled over by House Dokai, whose rulers are known to be quite eccentric and at times actively insane. It is common for elderly or dying members of House Dokai to set off into the south across the Sunset Sea, never to be seen again. For this reason and others the nobility of Doquu are widely avoided if not actively shunned by the royalty of the rest of the Summer Isles, despite the island’s richness in gemstones.

#### Marriage

Initially skeptical, affection soon blossomed between the pair, and with their union, their respective armies of Unsullied and Golden Company forming a fearsome force.

#### Invasion of Braavos

Knowing that a fleet would be necessary to conquer Westeros, the pair decided that Braavos would serve as their answer, prompting a sudden invasion of the city. The strike would deliver them the city, but deal grevious damage to much of the construction - none more so than the Titan protecting the Bay. Despite it, much of the fleet was spared, allowing for their plans for Westeros to be realised.

Until Daenerys discovered that she was with child. Not wanting to risk hurting their heir, she decided she would stay in Braavos and join Aegon once she had given birth.

#### Invasion of Westeros

Daenerys would never travel to Westeros, for after several victories news would reach her that Aegon had fallen in battle, suffering wounds that he failed to recover from.

#### Conclusion

Initially furious, Daenerys came to realize that her quest to take back the Iron Throne had led to nothing but suffering. She agreed to peace, and stayed in Braavos to help raise her newborn son. Daenerys decided to rule from the Sealord’s Palace, now renamed the Dragon’s Palace. She also decided to paint its door red, and plant a lemon tree orchard outside of it. The Golden Company was released from their oaths, yet they still swear to help a dragon take back the throne when the time comes. The Unsullied stayed in Braavos, yet no new ones were trained. Rhaegal also returned to Braavos, yet when Daenerys grew old and eventually passed away, he departed for his original birthplace, where he remains today.

Jhala

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

## Description

Jhala is the largest of the known Summer Isles by landmass, but less populous than Walano to the north. So beautiful and lush is the island that its name alone has grown synonymous with an expression of surprise, although its dual meaning is rarely known outside of the Isles themselves. Home to leagues of vibrant forest filled with all manners of life, valleys and waterfalls of stunning allure, beaches of sand so fine that it flows like water and hills laden heavy with flowers, Jhala is considered by many to be the closest mankind will come to paradise during life.

## Rulers

The island is ruled over by five separate families, and although some border tensions have occurred in the past, life is generally peaceful on the island. The Xhos rule the Red Flower Vale on the eastern aspect of the island, the Zadons Golden Head, a peninsula to the southeast. Ebonhead on the southern coast is the territory of the Sos family and to the northwest the Sweet Lotus Vale is ruled by the Rhaas. On the northern coast, where the island meets the Indigo Straits, the port town at Cocobolo Bay is ruled by the Chuqu family.
Guild of the Blue

The Guild of the Blue is a sellsword company that operates in Essos, mainly near the Free City of Myr and the Disputed Lands. In recent years however, they have largely stagnated in military processes, having been giving control over the northern Stepstones by the Triarchy of the Three Daughters.

They were formed by the Myrish noble Drahar family, and a number of members of the family have served within its ranks over the years, following the typically martial inclination of the Drahars. With the explusion of the nobility from the Daughters, such familial relations have been largely absent in recent years.

## History

The Guild of the Blue was initially founded in 100AC by Myrish Prince-Admiral Craghas Drahar, who sought to create a steady source of both revenue and renown for his new house. He personally drew up the company charter and its famous five tenants himself, immediately earning himself a reputation as one of the most generous mercenary captains and a loyal citizen of Myr.

## The Tenants

When the company was founded, a basic charter was drawn up for the company which remains largely the same even after nearly two hundred years. The charter included five core tenants that the Guild and its members are bound to follow while in the company. They are:

* First and foremost, the Guild of the Blue and its members will neither take contracts nor raise arms against the Free City of Myr. This tenant now has been changed to include the Stepstones, as their primary seat of holding.
* Secondly, the Guild of the Blue and its members will never harm or do injury to a member of the Guilds, unless to do so would compromise the First Tenant.
* Thirdly, the Guild of the Blue and its members will never go back on a contract that they have taken, save for if it comes into conflict with either of the first two tenants.
* Fourthly, should a member of the Guild die while in service of the company, his family is to be provided for and compensated for his loss.
* Fifthly, within the Guild of the Blue, the Captain's power is absolute and his orders are beyond question, save for if they violate any of the previous tenants.

These tenants and the philosophy that they represent have given the Guild of the Blue a reputation for being one of the most honourable and well organised mercenary companies, with a particularly upstanding reputation in the Free City of Myr, from which it draws a vast majority of its members.

## Appearance

Members of the family tend to be attractive and well-built, with black hair.

## History

### The Great Council of 303AC

The sudden death of King Tommen Baratheon caused troubles in terms of ascension in 303AC, prompting a Great Council to be held between all the Great Houses of Westeros. Whilst Euron Greyjoy was proposed as a candidate, he found himself widely mistrusted and considered to be a poor choice generally.

### House Greyjoy Since the Establishment of the Baelish Dynasty

#### The Folly of Petyr the Pious

The Iron Islands would remain quiet for many years whilst the monarchs of House Baelish sat upon the Iron Throne, until such a time that they found themselves under the scrutiny of King Petyr II Baelish, called the Pious. Belieiving that the Islands should be brought back into the Seven Kingdoms properly to facilitate trade and conversion to the Seven, he sailed for the isles with a fleet of septons.

When the Iron Fleet surged in response, they smashed the ships that carried the King against the cliffs of Old Wyk, and Petyr II Baelish was captured and drowned by the Ironborn at the behest of their Drowned Priests.

#### The Subjugation of the Iron Islands

King Edmund II's coronation was a hasty affair to deal with the growing power and guile of the Greyjoys and their vassals. Hearing that Lannisport was poorly defended, Ironborn raiders landed along the Westerlands. The ploy however proved to be a trap and at the Battle of Gravehand's Shoul much of the Iron Fleet was destroyed. Shortly after, an army was landed upon the isle of Pyke, laying the castle upon it to siege.

Three days of negotiations would put an end to the bloodshed however, the pact sealed with the marriage of Lord Greyjoy's daughter to King Edmund himself. The Greyjoys would keep their old ways of thralldom too as part of the agreement.

#### Brynden's Rebellion

In 381AC, the union of House Baelish with House Greyjoy would prove to be a point of contention for the newly elected High Septon, deeming Lady Victaria to be an abomination and heathen for the Drowned God she worshipped in place of the Seven. Such conflict would soon be manipulated by Lord Brynden Baelish of Harrenhal, sparking the conflict known as Brynden's Rebellion.

Festival of the Uncloaking

The Festival of the Uncloaking is an annual celebration that takes place in the Free City of Braavos. Traditionally it took place over the course of five days, but this was doubled by the Sealord Ulloro Zalyne is 86AC. The festival is popular amongst the Keyholders, common merchants and Sealord alike.

It is intended to remember the anniversary of Sealord Uthero’s decision to make the existence of the Free City to the world, and celebrate the successes brought by the decision.

## Format

For the duration of the festival, all participants must be masked, their identities hidden, from Sealord to guardsman, Black Pearl to merchant-sailors. Throughout the ten days duration, feasts are thrown in the streets, circling around the city itself, starting in the Silty Town at the north of the city and ending in the Purple and Ragman's Harbours.

The most popular and extravagant feasts and revelries take place on the ninth and tenth days, located in the grounds of the Dragon's Palace and the harbours of the city respectively. As the tenth day draws to a close, with the people of city lined up along the edge of the brackish waters, the Titan lets out a great uproarious cry, and all those in attendance remove their masks in unison.

Whilst the exact nature of the revelries changes between festivals, there are several common events that take place most years.

* The Bravo's Rings - A competition intended to highlight the skill and prowess of the formidable waterdancers of Braavos, the Bravo's Rings consists of a series of increasingly narrow rings of steel, towards which the competitors lunge, seeking to pass their slender blades through the target. It is customary for the First Sword of Braavos to not enter in the event, although as they too are masked, it is not uncommon for participation to take place.
* The Ribbons - As popular amongst those bound by marriage as those not, the Ribbons is a game played in two rounds, once by men, then another by woman. The competitors are split by gender, and one designated seekers, whilst the others have coloured ribbons tied around their waists. The seekers then chase down those with ribbons, taking the ribbon for their own with an embrace, the victor being the seeker with the most at the end. The game is then repeated, but the roles reversed.
* The Sweetwater Race - Starting at the south-eastern aspect of the city, where the Sweetwater River first enters the confines of Braavos, the Sweetwater Race is a contest of speed. Competitors must follow the path of the aqueduct as it weaves around the city, and the winner is whoever is first to fill a cup from the waters of the Moon Pool at its termination, and present the drink to the Sealord himself.

## Historical Information

### Extinguished

316 AC

**House Baelish of the Fingers** was the initial branch of House Baelish, founded by a Braavosi sellsword after he was granted land in recognition for his service.

In 316 AC, the small holdfast fell into the ocean following a harsh storm; King Petyr I declined to set aside funds to repair what he believed to be "fundamentally worthless", and so control of the branch's meager lands were instead granted to House Coldwater.

In 349 AC, King Eddard "the Absent" made plans to restore his house's ancestral seat, ordering his Hand to set aside all necessary funds to make "a palace that was to the Mockingbird what Summerhall had been to the Dragon" - such ambitions was stopped by the beginning of The Hand's War later that year.

It has laid largely forgotten ever since.
