### Biography

Of all the houses in the Riverlands, House Bigglestone is among the least known. The last Lord of Bigglebrook, their ancestral Keep, died in the Dance of Dragons along with most all the men sworn to him. The castle fell into ruin, and the surviving Bigglestones became little more than petty lords and traveling knights. For generations they have served various greater lords, sometimes venturing into the Crownlands or the Reach in the hopes of better fortunes, but the Seven is yet to give them another chance to restore their lost legacy.

Lucifer was born to Lord Jon Bigglestone and his wife Anya, the first of the couples three sons. He was blessed was locks of blonde hair that might make a Lannister envious, deep blue eyes, and a pointed face with a sharp smile. Like his father and brothers, he grew up in the saddle and spent his childhood on following them on the tourney circuit. Unlike his kin, the young Lucifer quickly showed his innate prowess with the lance and shield.

This talent did not go unnoticed at the tourneys his family frequented, and he was made the offer of being a squire to a knight of some renown - Ser Lorent Rivers, known as the Silvershield for his rather obnoxious choice of equipment. Eagerly Lucifer accepted, though his new mentor was not the honourable knight that one might first have mistaken him for. Lucifer watched the Silvershield cheat good men and steal from others, and he too soon knew the tools of the trade. But whilst he learned important life skills, Lorent also taught him how to fight properly and made Lucifer

At a small squire’s melee at Acorn Hall, Lucifer was disarmed by his opponent in the final match but was able to overcome his opponent after scratching the man’s face. This earned him the nickname of ‘the kitten knight’ amongst his fellow squires, who mocked him for his dishonourable victory. Lucifer embraced the moniker though, going as far as to paint a black cat upon the traditional arms of House Bigglestone. At a joust he entered as a mystery knight, going by ‘The Knight of Cats’ and unhorsed all who challenged him. For that, he earnt his knighthood from Ser Lorent and was sent on his own path.

Few may know his name, but the  Knight of Cats is ready to take on any who oppose him.

Pyke

**Pyke** is the stronghold and seat of House Greyjoy, located on the island of the same name, which is one of the seven major Iron Islands. The castle is the regional capital of the Iron Islands as a whole. Pyke is an ancient stronghold and the cliff it was built on has been eroded by the sea leaving the towers standing on stone stacks. The towers are connected by swaying rope bridges. The rocky moss covered stone at its base is not suitable for ships landing so traffic to the island flows through the nearby harbour town Lordsport. It is currently the seat of Aeron Greyjoy.

"Pyke" is also the name given to bastards born on the Iron Islands.

## History

### Background

Pyke has been the seat of House Greyjoy for centuries.
Jaremy Corbray

## Ser Jaremy Corbray

**Ser Jaremy Corbray** is the current Minister of Justice on the Council of Seven. The child of a member of House Corbray that joined House Targaryen in exile following defeat in the Blackfyre Rebellion, Jaremy has served the Bloodraven for near sixty years. He was appointed to the Council of Seven in 262 AC, first as Minister for Warfare before a council reshuffle moved him to Minister of Justice.

## History

During the Battle of Widows, a much younger Ser Jaremy slew a legendary warrior-woman known as 'the Iron Lady' in single combat. She was a prominent captain of a mercenary company now lost to the passing of time, but was renowned for her full suit of iron plate encrusted with precious blue gems.
Roland Crakehall

**Roland Crakehall**was a Westerlander that served in the Kingsguard of Aegon IV Targaryen and Daeron II Targaryen until his death in 196 AC.

Following the death of King Daeron II. The three Kingsguard present were offered a simple deal by Aegor Bittersteel, live for Daemon or die for Daeron's ghost.

History records that - whilst both his fellow sworn brothers bent the knee - the unarmed and unarmoured Ser Roland broke free from his chains, spat in Aegor's face, and uttered the words of his House loud enough that the whole city was said to have heard it.

For his hubris, people took to remembering him as *The Stubborn Boar.*
House Greyjoy

**House Greyjoy of Pyke** is one of the Great Houses of Westeros. It rules over the Iron Islands, a harsh and bleak collection of forbidding islands off the west coast of Westeros, from the Seastone Chair in the castle of Pyke on the island of the same name. The head of the family is traditionally known as the Lord Reaper of Pyke. Their sigil is a golden kraken on a black field, and their house motto is "We Do Not Sow."

## **History**

The Greyjoys of Pyke claim descent from the Grey King of the Age of Heroes. Legend says the Grey King ruled not only the western isles but the sea itself, and took a mermaid to wife.

In the era when the ironborn chose their rulers through the kingsmoot, only Houses Greyiron and Goodbrother produced more kings than the Greyjoys. For instance, the Old Kraken, Loron Greyjoy, was chosen as a King of the Iron Islands in a kingsmoot. The iron lords, including the Greyjoys, intermarried with the victorious Andals when they invaded the Iron Isles.

Come the Wars of Conquest, King Harren the Black of House Hoare ruled all the lands between the mountains, from the Neck to the Blackwater Rush. When Harren and his sons perished in the burning of Harrenhal, Aegon Targaryen granted the riverlands to Edmyn Tully of House Tully. The surviving lords of the Iron Islands fell into chaotic squabbling, leading Aegon to invade the islands to subdue them. After they bent the knee Aegon allowed them to revive their ancient custom and chose who should have the primacy among them. They chose Lord Vickon Greyjoy of Pyke.

Thus relegated to their dismal homeland and constrained by the king's peace, the Greyjoys have kept themselves distant from the other Great Houses, rarely taking part in events on the mainland (which they call the "green lands"), even when asked.
Roose "Roosey" Ryswell

Known as "Roosey" or Roose "the younger" the eldest son of Lord Roose Ryswell and his wife lady Arya Slate was the pride of his house and the apple of both his parents eye. But when war called, Roosey could not be held back, and lead the Ryswell levies to the Riverlands in person.

Cut down at the battle of Greenfork aged just 18, it is rumored that his body, despite his valor and rank, was mistreated and defiled. Upon seeing his corpse, his mother fell into a 10 year depression until her death, whilst his father swore bloody vengeance..namely on Brus Arryn and Lord Royce, the architects of the Vale victory. Roosey was buried with honor in the family godswood, with ceremonies every year, and was later joined in death by his mother.

Liberation of Golden Haven

The Liberation of Golden Haven signalled the end of the Targaryen and Kingdom of the Three Daughters' presence in the Stepstones during the War of Unification.

## Events

Whilst the land efforts continued to be fraught with hardship for Queen Daena Blackfyre, the endeavours upon the waves proved to be more fruitful, and much more one-sided. Meeting with the remainder of the Kingdom of the Three Daughter's fleet in the bay of the Stepstones island of Larazor's Rock, the Royal-Lyseni forces smash the remaining strength of the Targaryens at sea in a short clash. Their supplies cut off, the Kingdom outposts on the Stepstones islands in the area are quickly subdued.

Famed for its unexpected bounty of plant and animal life, the island of Golden Haven did not yield immediately, the fertility of the isle supporting the small garrison that lingered upon the Stepstone. The Myrish Captain, Tychano Ostos, whom had grown found of the vibrant life, opted instead to surrender when the Royal-Lyseni forces threatened to seize control with sword and flame, hoping to spare the island of such destruction. Whilst Tychano and his men were executed, the island, as per his request remained unmolested.
Wolves on the Wind

The Wolves on the Wind are a sellsail company based in the Narrow Sea. Although the company has not existed for many years, their rapid expansion and acquisition of new ships and men has made them well-known to those with invested interest in the comings and goings in the Narrow Sea.

Their flagship, thought to a modified stolen dromond from the Royal fleet has an ornate hull of bronze, above which their banner flies.

It is traditional for the captain to wear a cloak of wolf fur, leading some to speculate that the original creator of the company may have been a Stark or some other northern Lord.

It is not unknown for the company members to act in a pirate like fashion when not tied into a contract.

The company has for the last few years been under the leadership of Captain-Admiral Lysanne Lyzane.

Recently the company had fought at Myr, helping to crush the Targaryen fleet there for House Balarr. The Wolves captured a Myrish flagship which now proudly sails with them.

After Maron Martell's death, the company fleet was doubled in size when a number of his men joined with the Captain-Admiral's encouragement.

The fleet has also conquered ground in the stepstones in recent times, firstly the uninhabited island of Golden Haven was taken from Maron Martell's though at very little loss to the King. After the Pirate King's death, the company moved to conquer more islands with great success such as Grey Gallows, Dustspear, Highwatch, Bloodstone, Guardian and Scarwood.
The Frigate Brewery

The Frigate Brewery is a tavern in the town of Balarr, on the Stepstones island of Pryr.

## History

It is uncertain when the disagreement between the two taverns in Balarr began, but it is commonly believed that it has existed since their near simultaneous openings shortly after the construction of the town. According to the tale, two friends both decided to construct an inn within the town walls, unbeknownst to the other, creating rivalry. Although the enmity has persisted over the years, conflicts are largely petty, aiming to inconvenience and irritate rather than harm.

Patrons of The Frigate Brewery most commonly target their rivals by rigging up pails of water to drench patrons leaving The Fallen Storm, much to their own amusement.
Marahai

Marahai is an island in the Jade Sea, found to the southwest of the large isle of Leng. It is crescent-shaped, the large bay nestling two smaller islands called Siah and Vrahai.

## Geography

Sometimes called Paradise Island by the sailors and merchants who land upon its pale-yellow sand beaches to replenish their provisions of fresh water and fill their stores with fruit, fish and meat, Marahai is covered in a vibrant jungle filled with life, and centred around a large caldera large enough to nearly contain the entirety of the Kingswood of central Westeros.

Tales from before the Long Night state the island was once largely featureless, nothing more than a large mountain isolated by leagues and leagues of the Jade Sea in all directions. When the island was rediscovered after the day once again returned, the mountain was gone, leaving only a crescent of land, and the two smaller islands of Siah and Vrahai in its place. The waters within the bay bubble with gases and carry a foul, sulphurous smell, but the winds sweeping in from the south mean that Marahai itself is rich with the scent of a hundred types of fruit, and thousands of kinds of flowers.

On the southeastern aspect of the island there is a small fishing colony, known as Vanilla Bay to those few that routinely call port. The residents of the settlement, which number no more than a hundred, mark their sun-darkened skin with vivid paints created from the wealth of flowers on the isles, and worship deities similar to those of the Summer Isles, although there is no proof of a common ancestry.

The island is said to be inhabited by tigers, elephants, and basilisks.

## Recent History

For the past few decades, Qarth has claimed dominion over Marahai, as it has all the isles of the Cinnamon Straits and the Jade Sea. Despite this, no Qartheen warriors have ever been stationed upon the island, and few flying the sigils of the Pureborn, Tourmaline Brotherhood or Guild of the Spicers rarely pass near its azure waters and pale beaches.
Karlon Karstark

## Lord Karlon Karstark

Lord of Karhold

Torrhen Karstark.

Karlon Karstark was born to Osric Karstark during a cold winter in 252AC. Even as a boy, Karlon looked fierce. He commanded the respect of those around him with just a stare.

## Appearance

Karlon Karstark is described to be as tall as an Umber, without the looks of one. Karlon has a long and narrow face and dark brown hair, down to his shoulders, with a thick beard. His eyes are blue-grey like an icey river. Karlon has a natural fierce look due to his strong brow and chin.

## History

As a young man, Karlon grew into being a proper little lord and the people of Karhold had hope for the new lord. Karlon has been rather ambitious, he talked often about making House Karstark as great as the Starks but his father would hear none of it. He told him that Karstark are not meant to be great, we are meant to serve. Osric was weak willed, slow to anger, quick to forgive. Karlon didn't have much respect for his father, he saw him as a servant to other lords and would be easily pushed around by other northern houses.

Karlon spent a lot of time with his bastard uncle Derrick Snow. Derrick worked as a privateer, hunting down pirates and raiders who would attack the eastern side of the North. Derrick was often in White Harbour working for House Manderly. Derrick treated Karlon like his own son, he taught him how to sail and to trade. Over his life Derrick earned a fair amount of coin, enough to buy property in White Harbour for trading and businesses. After Derrick died in 276 AC, the property was handed down to Karlon, his favourite nephew.

During a northern council meeting, Lord Harwin told Lord Osric to go fetch him a Valyrian Steel sword from Valyria. He commanded him to get it himself. And... Osric agreed, he was so eager to please the other lords that he would even risk his own life. All the northern lords laughed. This was the final straw, Karlon would not take the disrespect. He stood up to Lord Harwin "the Black" and roared that House Karstark is loyal to House Stark, not House Hornwood. The northern lords felt the strong commanding presence of Karlon, he had gained their respect. After this there were rumours around the North that the Sun had risen on House Karstark again, they said that there was some wolf in Karlon. He was now known as Karlon 'the Wolf' Karstark

After the deaths of both Lady Serena Karstark and Derrick in the same year 276 AC, Karlon had lost his ambitions he had when he was younger. He lost the people who he loved the most, he found it hard to keep going. After some years Karlon found his dreams and ambitions once more and has started working towards his goals.

### Children

* Harrold Karstark - born in 273 AC
* Lyanna Karstark - born in 274 AC

Rhaegar stook out like a sore thumb among the smallfolk from his purple eyes and pale features, and was often bullied on that point. The town boys would call him "whoreson". It was because of this he would develop a pension for violence (Martially Adept). Many a night he'd come home with red knuckled and a new scratch or bruise. But as time went on Rhaegar found he was actually quite good at it. He eventually was mentored by a sellsword named "Spike" on Axes in combat (what skill could that possibly attribute to). As he came of age he left with Spike across the narrow sea to Essos where he would serve with numerous companies and brigands over the years. Eventually he moved away from Spike and started doing work on his own. As a hobby he became fascinated with geography, and would often spend his money on maps of both Essos and Westeros. (Navigator). It was also he began to consider the prospect of his own company. He continued to serve with different companies for the next few years. But he studied the tactics and the nuance to maintaining a faction (Tactics). When he was 21 he decided to make it a reality. He gathered some men he had served with over the years and let them in on his plan, although reluctant, Rhaegar managed to convince them, and from that day onward "the Roaming Legion" was formed.

Seasons

Seasons are a highly variable feature of the climate of Westeros, something that shifts from arid and dry desert climate in the furthest south to cold and harsh winters in the north and icy wasteland in the Lands of Always Winter in the farthest north.

Westeros and Essos both experience extremely long seasons of varying length, usually lasting at least a couple of years each. The maesters try to predict the length of the seasons, monitoring the temperature and days length, to advise on when to plant and when to harvest and how much food to store. However, given the random nature of the seasons, this is not something that can be relied on.
Paxter Mooton

Paxter Mooton was a Riverlander that served in King Daemon I Blackfyre's Kingguard between 196AC and 210AC, and Daemon II Blackfyre after him, until his death in 220AC.

Only emerged when Daemon himself rode to the gates, and after judging the newly- crowned king did Ser Paxter kneel before him, swearing fealty and oaths of loyalty.
Noble Families of Qohor

Qohor is exceptional compared the most of the other Free Cities for a number of reasons, but principally by means of its governing. Whereas most of the other cities are led by a conclave of magisters made up of noblemen, merchants and priests, Qohor is governed by two families, the Eranels and the Motts.

## The Eranel Family

The Eranel Family is one of the two primary ruling families in Qohor, the other being the Mott Family. They style themselves as the *First Woodsmen of Qohor*.

Their wealth comes from the timber harvested from the Forest of Qohor.

### The Forest Palace

Home of the Eranel Family, the greatest and most prosperous of all the families made rich by the wealth of woods within the Forest of Qohor, the Forest Palace is a sprawling construction of wood and pale stone. Surrounded by walls populated with towers shaped to resemble Sentinel trees, the residency houses all the members of the Eranel family, as well as their servants, soldiers and lumberworkers. Also contained within the walls are the barracks of the guardsmen that patrol the Palace, and just to the north the largest timberyard in the Known World can be found.

## The Mott Family

The Mott Family is one of the two primary ruling families in Qohor, the other being the Eranel Family. They style themselves as the *Master Forgelords of Qohor*.

Their wealth comes from the products they forge within the Steel Hold, and the renown of their prowess. The family was responsible for the gifting of a Valyrian Steel arakh to Khal Viqallo, and own a suit of plate armour made from the material.

### The Steel Hold

Home of the Mott Family, the most famed and skilled of all the families that heat and shape steel and other metals into keen blades, steadfast shields and a myriad of other items, the Steel Hold is a colossal monolith of dark stone and metal. It is protected by two concentric rings of high walls upon which guardsmen in fanciful armour patrol. It is said that the very dirt around the Steel Hold is warm to touch from the never-ceasing forges found at the heart of the construction.
Pinkmaiden

Pinkmaiden is the seat of House Piper. It is currently ruled over by Lord Cedric Piper.

It is a small castle, and utilises a bend in the Red Fork to defend it on three sides, with a wall and gate flanked by two towers on the fourth.

## Location

Found in the southwestern riverlands, the castle is located on the Red Fork south of Riverrun, southeast of Acorn Hall, northwest of Stoney Sept, and northeast of Hornvale.
Riverrun

**Riverrun** is the seat of House Tully. It is a large castle located in the central-western part of the Riverlands. It sits at the point where the Red Fork of the Trident River is joined by its major tributary, the Tumblestone River flowing out of the west. In times of danger, sluice gates can be opened to flood a channel cut to the west of the castle, turning Riverrun into an island. Its walls rise sheer from the waters and its towers command the opposite shores, making assaulting it almost impossible without huge casualties.

## History

### Background

Riverrun is the seat of House Tully, the Lord Paramounts of the Trident and the Riverlands. It was built as an island fortress by Axel Tully.

Rhea Blanetree (Wife b. 240 AC)

Mathis Vance (Son b. 260 AC)

Tristifer Vance (Son b. 263 AC)

Armistead Vance (Son b. 266 AC)

## Biography

Karyl Vance Bio Karyl Vance was born in 236 AC to Lord Armistead Vance and Della Piper as an only child. In his youth Karyl Vance gained a reputation as a willful lad among the servants and soldiers of his father, eventually getting to the point that all he had to do was say a single word and a crowd would part for him to walk. Karyl took to the studies of politics and war with ease, preparing himself for a life as a lord. He especially took an interest in the art of siege warfare, which he decided was the most crucial part of war, and became skilled at the defense and attack of a castle. When Lord Armistead Vance died in a hunting accident in 253 AC, Karyl's learning payed off as he was Lord of Wayfarer's Rest at seventeen. In 256 AC when Karyl was twenty years old he married the sixteen year old Rhea Blanetree out of love, rather than political reasons. The couple had their first child Mathis in 260 AC, their second so Tristifer three years later, and their final son Armistead three years after that.

As a lord Karyl Vance was seen as a firm but fair ruler of his people, dispensing justice to the exact order of the law and with zero tolerance of dissenters. Karyl was not loved by those under him but he was respected and, to Karyl, only that mattered.

When war broke out in 270 AC, Durran's Defiance, Vance initially remained neutral. After considering his options he rose his banners alongside those of House Tully and fought for the rebels. It was the war in the Riverlands that Lord Vance truly gained respect and admiration for Axel Tully, whom he saw as an able leader. Like the Tully's, Vance was also disappointed at the outcome of the war. With the Bittersteels remaining in power and a child on the throne, Lord Vance returned home with mixed feelings.

Since the war, Karyl Vance has kept the peace in his lands and raised his three sons with hope they will do great things. Currently with rising tensions in the Riverlands, Lord Vance knows he must choose a side as the future of his land is at stake.

Revenge of R'hllor

The Revenge of R'hllor, more formally known as *Burning Decay* by healers and maesters, was a disease epidemic that affected much of western Essos between 219AC-224AC.

## Description

Victims of the condition first display an intense, unyielding fever that persists throughout the disease's progression. As the condition worsens, red marks, warm to touch, start to spread upwards, starting at the soles of the feet but quickly reaching the knees and hips. Within a moon, the tissue blemished by the marks begins to slough and come away, leaving deep sores which seep blood, pus and other foul humors.

The victim does not survive much longer once this has started.

## Nomenclature

The Revenge of R'hllor name comes from the long-standing belief that the disease was a curse released upon Essos by the Red God following the formation of the new town of Mantalos, south of Pentos. Built around a glimmering oily-black rock fallen from the sky, the settlement became the home of the Church of Starry Wisdom in western Essos, which has grown to be the second most popular religion amongst the Free Cities, after R'hllor, particularly so in Pentos. An intense rivalry has formed between the two faiths, and as Pentos was the first of the Free Cities to report the disease, there are those whom claim it is penance for their misguided beliefs.

There are those too, whom have noted that the disease progression follows much the same path as being burned alive, albeit it over a much exaggerated time frame.
The Isle of Tears

The Isle of Tears is the largest of the Basilisk Isles, which are located off the northwestern coast of Sothoryos. To the west of the isle is Basilisk Point, to the north is the island of Talon, and to the northeast is the Isle of Toads. Steep-sided valleys and black bogs hide amongst the rugged flint hills and twisted, windswept rocks of this southern island.

## History

The Old Empire of Ghis founded Gorgai on the southern coast of the Isle of Tears. The dragonlords of the Valyrian Freehold captured the city during the Third Ghiscari War and, renaming it Gogossos, used it as a penal colony. Gogossos grew powerful during the Century of Blood, but the Red Death eventually spread from the city's slave pens across the Isle of Tears and other Basilisks.

In recent years, the Basilisk Isles has been considered the territory of Ghiscar, although on most islands this is in naught but name. The Ghiscari have started attempts to rebuild the cities of Gogossos and Zamettar despite this.

## Gogossos

The city was large enough to nearly rival that of Norvos or Qohor in size, but following the Red Death has fallen into great disrepair. The residents work to uncover the city beneath the ruins, rebuilding what they cannot reclaim.
Selmond Stackspear

**Selmond Stackspear** is the first son of Ossifer Stackspear and the former Lord of Stackspear Keep. He is the older brother to Gerion Stackspear and Darlessa Serret, having inherited the lordship from his father only to take the black two years later. He is now a Ranger of the Night's Watch, constantly being reminded of the life he could've lead if he hadn't give it up for the watch.

Maelys I Blackfyre

### Titles

## Family Information

### Children

Daemon III BlackfyreOrys Storm

**Maelys I Blackfyre**,known as '**the Mad**' and '**Mad King Maelys**', was the sixth of the Blackfyre kings, and the eighteenth Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

## History

Oldest of Daena Blackfyre’s children, Maelys was a terrible man in his own right. A trickster and a gambler, his cruel and vindictive nature led to attempts to pit his vassals against each other in an effort to make sure their power never rivaled his.

He spent much of the Crown’s gold on gambling, gaudy projects, and whores. When the coffers of the realm neared empty, Maelys elected to take from the vaults of the Faith to restore his own. When the High Septon protested, paper-thin treason charges were leveled against him and he was summarily executed on the steps of the Sept of Baelor.

When Lord Durran Baratheon, Maelys’ Hand of the King and a very pious man, protested and vowed to protect the innocent with his very life if need be. Maelys took him at his word and killed Lord Durran on the spot, and thus started Durran’s Defiance.

When the Rebel army under the command of Prince Aemond shattered the morale of the Royal Army under Maelys’ command, the king retreated back to Harrenhal where both he & Lord Baelor Bittersteel were slain by Rhaegar Rivers, Lord Bittersteel's bastard. Many still wonder why Lord Baratheon was extremely lenient to House Bittersteel, especially considering how harsh he was to the other Great Houses that supported Maelys, though most chalk it down to the bastard's betrayal.
Sar Mell

Sar Mell is a ruined city situated on the southern aspect of the River Rhoyne.

It falls within the territory of the Free City of Volantis.

## Layout

The city of Sar Mell was ruined during the Second Spice War, in which it fought with the neighbouring Valyria town of Volon Therys. When the Valyrian dragonlords unleashed flame upon the city, they slaughtered the residents and burned the the flower gardens for which the city was famed to naught but ash.
Sarra Lydden

Sarra Lydden is the third and final legitimate child of Lord Jasper Lydden, by his fourth and last wife, Bethany. As her mother was not of noble blood, Sarra isn't as highly valued as her older half-sisters.

###

## Appearance

The Singing Stones

The Singing Stones are a small group of isles, considered one of the fourteen island groups that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.

## Description

Made famous from the mountains that give the island its name, the Singing Stones are a small group of islands found to the west of most of the other Summer Isles. Whilst all the islands are mountainous compared to the rest of the Isles, the largest and most easterly of them, Ta, is home to the Harmony Peaks, a short cordillera particularly known for its sounds.

The residents of the isles are said to be able to tell which direction the wind blows merely by the nature of the hum that resonates through the stones as the wind passes through the pock-marked surface. The tale of how the stones came to sing has long descended into myth and legend, but most relate to Waro, Spirit of the Winds, who is said to dance through the rock with every breeze that passes over the islands.

## Rulers

Each of the islands are ruled over by a different Prince, hailing from the families of Saras, Xo and Taamos. It is customary for people from the Singing Stones to wear a round pendant of grey stone from their left ear whenever they visit elsewhere in the Summer Isles or further afield, as a reminder of their origin.
Tytos Lannister

Warden of the West

**Tytos Lannister** was Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West during the period of relative peace from 245 AC to 270 AC. He was known for not being particularly interested in ruling, instead finding the arts and the sciences more interesting. Despite this he didn't want to give up his title because of the massive profits and the enormous societal status it held.

His son, Tymon Lannister managed most of the Westerlands' daily business when his father couldn't. He was sometimes called the "real" Lord of Casterly Rock, since he was a good-natured and fierce negotiator, to the distress of his father.

Tytos married Jeyne Marbrand in 238 AC at the age of one-and-eight and sired Tymon the same year. Gysella Lannister, their second child was born in 244 AC, and Martyn two years later.

He died in the year 270, in the middle of the conflict known as Durran's Defiance. After he had stayed behind as his sons went to fight in the Reach, Lord Ronnel Tarbeck invited him for a feast at his hall. Tytos came, but to his surprise was detained and his guards were killed. When Perceon Lannister came to free his grandfather after the fighting was done, Lord Ronnel cut off Tytos' head and threw it at the besiegers. In what would become known as Ronnel's Regret, Perceon's men pummelled the walls with catapults for three days and nights, until the castle was just a blasted ruin.
Wulma Hornwood

### Children

Brandon Hornwood, Harwin "the Black" Hornwood, Daryn Hornwood, Roryn Hornwood, Larence Hornwood, Donella Hornwood, Joanna Hornwood

Wulma married Lord Torrhen Hornwood in 245 AC and birthed him seven children before his death in 270 AC. Lady Wulma has raised her children well and is noted for her kindness to everyone she meets. A noteable interaction is her fostering of Catelyn Stark whom she taught to be a lady. She suggested that she'd make a good match with her brother Harrion and the pair were married, bringing Cat into the Karstark family.
The Sailor's Fortune Trading Company

The Sailor’s Fortune Trading Company is a mercantile company based out of Pentos and serves in the Free Cities of Essos and in many ports in Westeros with looks of expansion. It’s run by Oryna Marys, but works under the Balarr Family Mercantile Company.

## History

The company was founded by Oryna Marys in 276 AC when she partnered with two other traders Phillora and Jaqar Ormen. Her own ship, the Serenity, was the first vessel of the Trading Company until they could purchase and build cogs of their own.

The base of operations is in Pentos in the Spice District where the office is along with the warehouse. In Singer’s Wharf is where the ships are mostly kept when not in use, but Irror’s Dock is also used now that the ships while Balarr colours.

Zamettar

## Zametter

Zamettar is a ruined city on the northern coast of Sothoryos, but recently the Ghiscari, having conquered the Basilisk Isles, have started to rebuild the settlement.

It lies on a large delta, the mouth of the Zamoyos.

## Layout

Still largely claimed by the jungle, the architecture that remains is that of Old Ghis design, as the city was once built by the ancestors of those whom have claimed it more recently. At present times, just the harbour and the few surrounding buildings have been reclaimed, although more is recovered with each passing day.
Stackspear Keep

**Stackspear Keep**, often shortened to just **Stackspear** is the ancestral seat of House Stackspear in the Westerlands. It was built in the northern territories of House Crakehall during the Age of the Hundred Kingdoms as a means to strengthen territories bordering the Kingdom of the Rock and was given to Silas Stackspear upon construction.

## History

Stackspear Keep has never been considered a relatively powerful castle, having been meant to attract attention from invaders and hold them at bay just long enough for Crakehall forces to arrive. The only time it was ever really taken in a siege was during the Age of a Hundred Kingdoms, when a woman known only as Darlessa the Golden enough peasants and hedge knights to surround the castle during an outbreak of sickness. The current Lord of the Keep was only a child, and the ruling council had decided to close the Keep's walls from refugees to avoid spreading of the disease. In a rather short siege that ended due to a infiltration of defenses, the Keep in Darlessa's name. Modern Maesters argue if Darlessa was a normal peasant or perhaps a Lannett with finances to lead such an action, but after that there are no records of the keep being taken out.

The low amount of sieges is not due to any sort of structural perfection, but rather from the fact that any forces invading the Westerlands wouldn't see the value in taking such a keep the way an adventurer in the Age of the Hundred Kingdoms would.
