Northmen

House Ironsmith is a Lesser Family of the North, they are bannermen to the noble family of House Forrester. House Ironsmith rule their lands from their seat, Ironsmith Keep.

House Ironsmith have always answered the calls of House Forrester, never once wavering the oaths to their liege Lords in any wars.

They do not have any well known words but a few times its members have been known in ceremony to utter the words "We who work the forges" A homage to their lieges being the only house to work Ironwood and House Ironsmith working the forges for them from time to time.

## Significant Events

### The Blackfyre Rebellion

Although it is not noted down in the annals of history. The then Lord of Ironsmith Keep answered the call of House Forrester and of House Stark to the side of the Blackfyres.

### Bloodraven Rebellion

The then Lord of Ironsmith Keep, Gerold Ironsmith, would march his liege, Lord Duncan Forrester to war in defence of King Aerys against House Targaryen. Gerold would return a man scarred by war and the events of what took place on the battlefields.

### War of the Wicked

During this war, the still alive Gerold would once again march at his lieges call but would not participate in any major fighting all the way through.

### Durran's Defiance

It was during this was that the now Lord of Ironsmith Keep, Theodore, would fight in his first war and would be ultimately changed for it. The Ironsmith's that would follow him were three of his four sons; Asher Ironsmith, the oldest; Theon Ironsmith, his second son; and Jaxar Ironsmith, his thirdborn. Konrad Ironsmith would be left in charge of Ironsmith Keep under the watchful eye of Theodore's wife, Sarra.

#### The Battle of the Bridge

During one of the Norths biggest and probably the entire wars bloodiest battle that would last just three days, the armies of the North and those of the Vale would take and hold one tower on either side of the Twins. During the third day, Theodore would sally to the front lines and during his brief time there would have a sword thrust deep into his leg, this would lead to him not being able to walk without the use of a cane ever again.

At the battles end and after being treated till stable, Theodore would return to Ironsmith Keep along with two of his sons; Theon and Jaxar. Asher would press on with the Northern armies into future conflict.

#### The Battle of the Green Fork

During the battle that would see the Northern forces soundly defeated and retreat back home, Asher would find himself a changed man. Bloodlust and insatiable taste for drink and whoring would lead to his eventual banishment to the wall by his father.
