House Rogare

## History

The Rogares are an extremely old and proud Valyrian family that hails from the Free City of Lys. Their name is storied with great warriors and savvy bankers and tradesman, and they have long held great power and authority within the city.

There was a time, hundreds of years ago, when the Rogare Bank held more power than even the Iron Bank of Braavos. The Rogares controlled vast untold sums of wealth, and used their heightened power to begin to influence outward on Westeros itself. They wed into the great houses of Westeros, Drazenko Rogare was Prince Consort of Dorne to a Martell, and Larra Rogare wed herself to Prince Viserys Targaryen. Meanwhile in Lys, Lysandro Rogare titled himself Majister for Life and styled himself as Lysandro the Magnificent.

However, the Lyseni Spring as it came to be known soon drew to a close. Lysandro and his brother Drazneko were murdered a day apart, leading to many rumors. Larra Rogare suffered a similar fate, abandoning Viserys to return to Lys before her husband ascended to the Throne. She mysteriously vanished not long after. More troubles yet persisted as Lysandro's heir, Lysaro, tried to secure a powerful position among the majisters spending vast sums of the house wealth in the process. He was eventually was scourged within the Temple of Trade by those who he had wronged.

Eventually Moredo Rogare lead an army against Lys, wielding the Valyrian Steel sword Truth. He managed to secure power again for his house, though they had lost much. Since those days the Rogares have remained among the most wealthy houses in Lys, but their power ebbs and flows with each generation. They have nonetheless maintained seats on the Majisters Council, with many Rogares taking the prestigious title of High Majister.
