Artys Belmore

## Lord of Strongsong

Lord **Artys Belmore** is the Lord of Strongsong.

## Appearance and Character

Small and thin with grey thinning hair and blue eyes. Missing his right hand.

## History

Lord Artys Belmore was the first child of Lord Jon Belmore and Lady Elys Breakstone. He was raised by his elderly father who was five-and-forty when Artys was born. His sister, Alys, was born only a few years later.

Artys was never particularly gifted at anything in his youth. No matter how much the Maester of Strongsong insisted on teaching Artys words and numbers he never became any more than average with them - able to do simple arithmetic and write out orders but nothing more.

His training with sword, shield and lance was similar. His Master of Arms despaired as Artys could barely hold his ground with his peers. Serving as a squire with his father was much the same story. In numerous sorties against the Mountain Clans the young heir to Strongsong did the bare necessity to avoid being called a craven, but nothing more. Disappointed with his only son, Lord Jon refused to knight him, to both of their shame.

His father died in 340 AC and his dying words were full of disdain for his heir. Artys was wounded and being young and foolish threw himself fully into the Kingdom's battles in the War of the Exile. In the Battle of Maidenpool his forces were particularly effective as they showed no mercy to the enemy. In a bid to prove his worth Artys threw himself into every engagement headfirst despite his lack of skill at arms. This resulted in him losing his hand to a particularly agile enemy. In retribution he had all his prisoners executed - but not before he had each and every one of their hands cut off. His reputation from this atrocity scared many Clawmen into routing in numerous engagements allowing Artys to finally be knighted. He returned to Strongsong victorious and proud, though a very changed man.

During the War of the Burning Brand Artys developed his penchant for espionage. The course of the war meant that set-piece battles were rare and Artys came into his own in this environment. Hiring men to spy on the rebels, letting his own men desert and pretend to be sell-swords and of course, torture, were his main methods to discover Arrec's men. Though he didn't participate in the Battle of the Brand he did play a major part in the earlier skirmishes and was much reviled for his techniques.

After the war he finally married at age forty two to a member of House Grafton, Sharra. He spent his time hunting the Mountain Clans and having children. Benedar, his eldest and heir, Elys and Robar were the fruits of his loins before Sharra succumbed to illness.

House Frey

## House Frey of the Crossing

House Frey of the Crossing is a noble house of the Riverlands. Their main seat is The Twins, a pair of castles on each bank of the Green Fork of the Trident that serves as a vital bridge across the river. The lord of the house is called the Lord of the Crossing. The strategic location of the Twins has allowed the house to become quite wealthy. One of the most powerful bannermen of the Tullys, the House can field a thousand knights and three thousand foot.

Their sigil is two blue towers united by a bridge on silver-grey, representing the Twins.

## History

House Frey is one of the youngest houses in Westeros, dating back only 670 years. The first Frey had a grand vision of building a bridge over the Green Fork of the Trident, and begu construction of this, this feat was finished by his grandson who added a wooden keep on each side.

Later on, these wooden keeps were replaced with stone ones, named the Twins, and a large tower in the middle, named the Water Tower, was built as well.

The defensible and strategic location allowed the Freys to grow extremely wealthy by charging money for passage across the river. The Freys quickly turned into one of the richest and most powerful houses in the Trident. However, their quick rise to power caused older houses to look down upon them.

House Frey sided with Aegon the Conquerer in his initial conquest, and kept fairly neutral during Robert's Rebellion, their levies arriving only after the Battle of the Trident was won.

They sided with Robb Stark during the War of Five Kings, giving him their levies and marrying Roslin Frey to Robb Stark, they played a large part in earning the independence of the North.

After Lord Walder Frey died, Black Walder Frey and Edwyn Frey fought in a bloody conflict known as The Bleeding of the Twins, killing many Freys, although the house kept regaining power under Edwyn Frey.

### War of the Exile

A tangible levy from House Frey gathered at Harrenhall and helped win the battle of Maidenpool

### War of the Burning Brand

Robb Frey kept the Freys out of the war, letting the rest of Westeros deal with the bandits whilst his men stayed safe within The Twins

Dorne

**Current Lord:** Princess Allyria Martell

On the southern end of Westeros lies Dorne, the most culturally and ethnically diverse region in all of Westeros. The only kingdom to successfully resist the conquest of Aegon the Dragon, it has a storied history, one of war and tragedy and strife, but one of great beauty and glory as well.

Much of Dorne's cultural differences from the rest of Westeros comes from the influence of the Rhoynar, whose peoples settled in Dorne by the behest of their queen, Nymeria, and the Prince of House Martell. Through the centuries their customs and traditions have melded with those of Dorne, creating a region separated from the rest of Westeros by more than just mountains. Only here can elder daughters inherit before younger sons, and men may take paramours without shame. Bastards, too, are better received here than elsewhere - for in Dorne sexuality and love are far more open.

Though the people of Dorne can be seen as strange and dangerous, such terms apply to their land much better. Much of Dorne is desert, though enough water can be found to make it inhabitable even during long summers, and the coasts are rocky and jagged; poor anchorage for ships. In the northwest the Red Mountains keep Dorne separate from the rest of Westeros, it's two major passes guarded fiercely by ancient families such as Yronwood and Fowler. The Greenblood is the largest river in all of Dorne, and is plyed by barges and trade boats alike. It is home to the famous Plankytown, a floating city at the mouth of the river, and the Orphans of the Greenblood sail its waters on rafts.

For all the seeming strangeness of it's customs, Dorne has always played a major role in the politics of the Seven Kingdoms. Its warriors are fierce and loyal, and both it's men and women are renowned for their beauty and...skill. Its ruler still boasts the title of Prince or Princess - a singular honor in all the continent, won by the means of Dorne's incorporation into the realm. For all this, however, many still view the Dornish with suspicion and curiosity, for their way of life and the land from which they arise are often still seen as exotic and foreign.

For more information on recent events in Dorne, please see our State of the Realm page.

Gregor Clegane

## Lord of Clegane Keep

Ser **Gregor Clegane** is the Knight of Clegane's Keep and is the head of House Clegane, which are landed knights and bannermen to House Lannister. Gregor is a freakishly large man and for this he is often called **The Mountain That Rides** or simply **The Mountain**. His soldiers are known as the Mountain's men.

## History

Gregor's history is dark and filled with blood. As a young boy, eleven or twelve years old, he caused his brother Sandor's facial scars by holding the younger boy's face to a hot brazier as punishment for playing with a toy he had discarded. Their father spread the story that the injuries were caused by bedding that had caught fire.

Four years later, Gregor was knighted by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. There were rumors that Gregor killed his father, sister, and his first two wives. His keep is said to be a grim place where servants vanish unaccountably and even the dogs are afraid to enter the halls. Gregor has committed rapes and cold blooded murders beyond count but his most infamous deed came from his service to House Lannister during Robert's Rebellion.

At the age of seventeen, Gregor was one of the first Lannister soldiers to enter King's Landing during its sack at the end of the war. He and Ser Amory Lorch scaled Maegor's Holdfast when the Lannister troops reached the Red Keep. Gregor entered the nursery of the infant Prince Aegon, son of Prince Rhaegar, and killed the baby present by dashing the boy's head against a wall. Then he raped and murdered Aegon's mother, Princess Elia, supposedly with the boy's blood and brains still on his hands.

### War of the Five Kings

During the War of the Five Kings, Gregor Clegane was sent into the Riverlands to raid and pillage and force the lords of the region to turn their eyes inward, rather than mustering at Riverrun. This was a task he was well suited for, and he did it for months as the war raged on. Eventually he rejoined the host of Tywin Lannister, recalled to join the attempt to break the Siege of King's Landing.

After Lord Tywin was slain, and the army broken, Gregor was captured through much loss of life, as it took nearly a dozen men to bring him down, despite the wounds he had taken. He was executed upon the field, and his severed head was sent to Dorne as a means of appeasement.
Claw Isle

Claw Isle is the seat of House Celtigar. It lies off the coast of Crackclaw Point, just at the edge of Blackwater Bay.

Claw Isle is east of Crackclaw Point and north of Dragonstone and Driftmark.

## Interior

### Treasures

Claw Isle's halls and bedrooms have soft Myrish carpets, Volantene glass, gold and silver plates, jeweled cups, magnificent hawks, a horn said to summon krakens from the deep, chests of rubies, and more wines that a man could drink in a hundred years.

It is the definition of wealthy nobility, many of the items inside Claw Isle have been passed down from generation to generation ever since the first Celtigars landed on the isle. Some have been added by previous Lord Celtigars, the largest contributions coming from Ardrian Celtigar.

Battle of the Wendwater

Commanders| * King Renly Baratheon
* Lord Randyll Tarly
* Guyard the Green
* Lord Commander Loras Tyrell
* Balaq the Breaker
* Will Cole
* Denys Strong

**The Battle of Wendwater** was the largest battle of the War of Repayment fought between the Royal Army and the Golden Company.

## Prelude

The War of Repayment had begun due to the Iron Bank of Braavos being refuted by King Renly Baratheon when they asked for the new King to settle its debts. In retaliation, the Iron Bank conscripted several Mercenary Companies, the largest and most prestigious of which was the Golden Company, a wealthy company made up of several Westerosi Exiles and Essosi men. Seeing their string of victories along Sharp Point and Stonedance, King Renly Baratheon summons the strength of the Crownlands and prepares to strike back.

## Battle

Captain-General Jon Lothston encamps the Golden Company along the Wendwater while Renly marches his army along the Blackwater, preparing to engage the mercenaries. Thanks to intel provided by Lysono Maar, Jon had time to prepare his forces for Renly's arrival.

Utilizing his superior position, Jon managed to use his elephants to split Renly's army in half. With Balaq leading archers on the other side of the river, Lothston managed to cause great damage to Renly's forces. The arrival of the remaining men, however, managed to frighten the elephants. Randyll, regrouping the men of the Royal Army, managed to crush one of Lothston's flanks. The remaining men managed to retreat in good order.

## Aftermath

The results of this battle ended the Golden Company's free reign of the Crownlands, though Lothston managed to fall back to the remaining forces at Sharp Point. Seeing his losses, Lothston decided to hold.

Despite his victory, Renly is left with a very weakened Crown Force. This, following the Battle of Duskendale and the Battle of Cracklaw would lead Renly to suing for peace.
Cersei Lannister

## Queen of Westeros

## History

Cersei's children are the result of an incestuous relationship with her brother, Jaime Lannister. They are thought to be Robert Baratheon's children, but this is called into question by many, including Eddard Stark, Jon Arryn and Stannis Baratheon. After King Robert's death she acts as Queen Regent for her son, Joffery Baratheon but she fails to control him during his rule.

When the capital is besieged by Renly Baratheon in the Siege of King's Landing, Cersei and her family are killed, including her son Joffery, and her father Tywin Lannister. Her other children are exiled to Essos alongside her brother, Tyrion Lannister.

## History

Arya travelled to King's Landing with Lord Eddard when King Robert named her father Hand of the King. Following her father's execution at the hands of Joffrey Baratheon, she disappeared from King's Landing. It is unknown what happened to her afterwards, but Sandor Clegane eventually ransomed her to her brother, Robb Stark, and was returned to Winterfell.

When Arya came of age, she was married to Edwyn Frey, officially completing the alliance agreement between Houses Stark and Frey.

Aurion the Exile

## Bastard Son of Aegon VI

**Aurion the Exile**, also called the Bastard Dragon, or the Bastard of the East, was the natural born son of Aegon VI Targaryen. He was the prime instigator of the War of the Exile before dying ignominiously in 342AC.

## History

### Youth

Aurion was born in Meeren as the bastard son of Aegon VI and a noble Meereenese woman who had replaced Daenerys at the King's side for a few months. Although eventually dismissed, Aurion remained in the Meereenese court at his father's behest.

A strong, fierce warrior from even a young age, and gifted a blade from his natural mother, Aurion set his eyes Westward.

### Westward

Due to rising unpopularity in the court of Meereen (bidden by his rising temper issues, and tendency to be stubborn), Aurion left Slaver's Bay and traveled west to Volantis. While there, Aurion became close with a young Triarch, named Vaekar Maegyr. Ultimately, over the course of several months, he convinced the Triarch of the validity of his claims on the Kingdom of the Iron Throne.

Aurion would later gather support among a majority of mercenary companies, involving the Golden Company and the Windblown. In Pentos, he took as his new Queen Maella Narratys to gather the support of Pentos. There, Maella named him the same as Rhaenys Targaryen once had, when they first landed on Westeros.

The War of Exile proved to be a disaster, a failure greater than the fourth Blackfyre Rebellion, and many of his once-allies abandoned him in the end. He, too, abandoned many - the most famous of these would be Arrec of the Burning Brand, one of his closest commanders, who would one day claim the title King Arrec of the Blackwater, and start the War of the Burning Brand.

## Death and Legacy

Aurion was allegedly murdered at an inn at the end of the War of Exile. His body was found with a hundred dagger wounds in his chest, and a slit throat. The cause of it was unknown, though some theorized that his freshly widowed wife, Maella Narratys had a part in it.

His legacy would continue in his only daughter by Maella Narratys, a child born nine months after the War of Exile ended, named Daenaera Targaryen. However, the impacts that Aurion had on Westerosi society told many a people, Daenaera included, that Westeros did not want a Targaryen ruler. Thus, Aurion's legacy - dark and brief as it was - came to a slow end.

## Quotes about Aurion

"*All hail Aurion, First of His Name, King of All Westeros, and Shield of His People." -* Maella Narratys, proclaiming Aurion as the one true king.
Gilbert Langward

## Dean of the Most Devout

Septon **Gilbert Langward** is the Dean of the Most Devout and as such, he is one of the most influental personsages in the matters of the Faith of the Seven in whole Westeros.

## History

Born the second son of Lord Terrence Langward, it was decided early on that Gilbert would pursue a career in the Faith. From a young age he was shown to excel in his studies of any nature, able to take detailed records and lists of the items he would need to review.

Stationed at the Stoney Sept for a good deal of his training, he showed himself to be quite apt in the management of the Sept's household and finances. So much so that he was soon put in complete charge of running the place so that the Septon could spend more time attending to pastoral affairs. While this helped prepare him for the bureaucracy of King's Landing and its high politics it left him pastorally lacking. Even today he is more comfortable managing books than delivering homilies.

Soon after his ordination as a Septon he was sent to the Quiet Isle to keep care of the brothers who made their home there. He enjoyed the peace and quiet the Isle offered him, as well as the chance to imerse himself in a world of paperwork and management. Very soon he turned the meagre profits the brothers made from their wine and cheese into a hefty profit for the Faith. Indeed the position suited him even moreso due to the brother's vows of silence, it meant he had less reason to talk and could give shorter homilies (For he had never learnt to be a truly excellent preacher).

But fate would not let him have his peace there. Soon he would learn that his brother Terrance, now Lord Langward, had arranged for him to be appointed to the Most Devout. Despite initial hesitations, Gilbert found himself quickly adapting to his new life in King's Landing, and his skill with management certainly did not go unnoticed. A few years after his arrival he was placed in charge of renovations to the Grand Sept, and after much study he exceeded all expectations both in the frugality and quality of his work.

With the appointment of a new High Septon, Gilbert quickly found his talents being called upon once more. After only a few years he was appointed the Dean of the Most Devout by the High Septon, making him one of the most powerful figures of the Faith. His work as an administrator and bureaucrat of the Faith have become almost legendary amongst the Faith's inner circles, and rumour has it that the High Septon is planning to reward Gilbert with a new title and position in the near future.

He has a lover, a woman named Ryella Kitt, a commoner like himself, living in Horntown.
Edric Algood

## Maester of Hornvale

## History

Edric was born in 347 AC to Lord and Lady Algood. The youngest of three brothers, he was useless and his parents sent him away to Oldtown, to the Citadel, to train to be *a knight of the mind.* It was on his own request he went there, as he realized that he'd never inherit the lands held by his House, being rather clumsy with weaponary, and only good at remembering things his own Maester taught him.

By 360 AC he was already on the way of becoming a Maester, his ambitions not bigger than that. His world changed when a young lordling, an heir to an important House in Westerlands, arrived to train for a knight under his cousin. The lordling's name was Reynard Brax, and the two quickly became friends, even though Reynard was four years younger. They went on, from a deep friendship, to being lovers, first emotionally and then sexually.

When Gylen Brax found about his cousin's affair, he personally castrated the young scholar and banned his cousin from seeing him. However, Reynard and Edric found the way to spend time together, and by the time Reynard was called home by his father, the two agreed on separation, as the best solution. Nobody ever knew of this affair, but Gylen who died several years later.

To his surprise, he was called, when he received his chain, to Hornvale, where he still lives and works with his separated lover.
Elizabeth Trant

**Elizabeth Trant** is a young lady of House Trant residing at Gallowsgrey.

### Appearance

Elizabeth has a smooth complexion with beige skin, and flowing blonde hair that reaches past her shoulders. She is tall, for a Trant, just under six and a half feet. Elizabeth is also decently light, around one hundred seventy pounds, and has respectable muscle mass for a noble girl.

## History

Lady Elizabeth was born in 354 A.C, the youngest child of Ser Simon Trant. Growing up as one of the two females in House Trant, she found the male population of the House indifferent to her. Her grandfather, Lord Morgan Trant, never really took notice of her. She was expected to be married off as soon as she came to age to a decent lord in the Stormlands, and secure the ties that would bring.

So what solace could a young lady find in a house ruled by stern and rough men? Well, in the only other lady in her house, Lady Selina. Selina saw a fire in Elizabeth that her father did not, the same fire that she saw in Elizabeths uncle, Conrad Trant.

Lady Elizabeth learned much from Selina, she heard of how Conrad defied Lord Morgans wishes and left Gallowsgrey to make his own life, and she was envious of the scion.

Selina also taught Elizabeth the values of The Seven, primarily the Mother and the Warrior. Elizabeth learned to have compassion and mercy for others, but to have courage and strength in battle. Selina, who was raised without a father, had became a somewhat respectable warrior in her own right.

So Elizabeth, in secret, trained with Selina away from the peering eyes of her brothers and her father. She learned how to handle a sword, and how to handle birds of prey. The two sang songs of The Seven, and Elizabeth was a great singer in that regard.

Though she recently turned sixteen, and Ser Simon planned to bring her along to houses in The Stormlands, Lady Elizabeth would never give up what she truly loved.

Foxton

Foxton is the principal town in Florent lands. It is located a short distance from Brightwater Keep.

## Information

### Location

The Mouth of the Honeywine, near Brightwater Keep

## History

Foxton is the principle village in Florent lands, and a centre of local trade due to its location by the source of the Honeywine. Trade often travels up and down the river to and from Oldtown, and many merchants have established themselves in the town.

During the War of the Five Kings, the majority of Foxton's populace fled south to Oldtown along with their lord. When Tyrell forces reached the town it was saved from destruction only by the news of Ironborn in the Shield Isles.

## Points of Interest

### The Docks of Foxton

The *docks* of Foxton are more a series of small piers used to house and unload the many barges which travel up and down the Honeywine to and from Oldtown. Here is also docked the Florent's pleasure ship for when they wish to go sailing on the river.

### The Sept of Wheat

Due to the Florent's location in the Reach, they own some of the most fertile lands in the kingdom. This blessing from the Seven was not forgotten when it came time to build a Sept. Though by no means a large Sept, the wheat-coloured structure is a sloping structure designed to resemble pieces of wheat bent and tied together, a steeple rising up into the air above the dome-like body of the Sept.

### The Markets

The markets of Foxton are often busy with trade, especially during harvest season. They are a popular destination for nobles and commoners alike.

### The Manor House

The Florents keep a small city house in the centre of the town, and the grand ballroom is often used for town gatherings when the Florents are not in residence there. It is also where the "Peasant's Balls" which are hosted by Florian Florent are held.
Edrick Stark

## Crown Prince of the North

**Edrick Stark** was the first son of Edderion I Stark, the current King in the North. During his lifetime, he was the heir apparent to the Northern Kingdom and the lordship of Winterfell; however, he was slain in 370 AC by an unknown assailant.

## Appearance and Character

He was long of limb and would most likely grow to be a large man.

He was close with Harrion Stark, and despite Harrion being his uncle, Edrick was the elder of the boys.

## History

He was born in 359 AC to then Prince Edderion Stark and his spouse, Alyssa Karstark.

## Recent Events

As the heir apparent of the North, Edrick was obliged to stay in Winterfell when his father chose to ride south and participate in the Grand Tournament. While there, a potentional wardship exchange regarding Edrick and Prince Robert Baratheon had been discussed, but after King Alesander I Baratheon's death, it was quickly struck off.

He was strangled in his chambers in 370 AC by an unknown assailant.
House Celtigar

## House Celtigar of Claw Isle

**House Celtigar** is a noble house of the Crownlands. Their seat is Claw Isle, off the coast of Crackclaw Point. Their words are "Sure and Steadfast". House Celtigar is sworn to House Baratheon of Dragonstone within the Crownlands. Members of House Celtigar have some traces of their Valyrian ancestry in their appearance: Bright violet/magenta eyes, on pale and fair skin.

## History

### Ancient History

House Celtigar was a house of Valyrian nobility, but they were not dragonlords. They fled shortly after House Velaryon, a few decades before House Targaryen would flee. House Celtigar would bring with them wealth and riches from Valyria, and their stronghold upon Claw Isle would become known for its treasures and artifacts.

### Targaryen Era

House Celtigar supplied men to Aegon in his conquest, and Lord Crispian Celtigar sat on Aegon I's small council as Master of Coin. House Celtigar would remain loyal to House Targaryen through the many rebellions, and Lord Bartimos Celtigar sat on the black council for Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.

They begrudgingly bent the knee to House Baratheon after Robert's Rebellion, but would still proudly tout the Valyrian blood in their veins.

### The Second Era

Lord Adrian Celtigar would be one of the best beneficiaries of his house, he would spend his long life collecting more treasures and wealth for Claw Isle. He would declare for Stannis Baratheon initially in the War of the Five Kings. He would be one of the first men to betray him in the fighting though, and take his men over to Renly Baratheon.

Already an old man, he would take a wound in the Battle for King's Landing that would eventually fester and kill him on the first day of the 304th year since Aegon's Conquest. He married to Lady Bethany Brune (a distant cousin to a Brune), having three children that lived to adulthood. His eldest child and only son, Bryce, had died in the battle outside of Storm's End. His 19 year old son, Dontos Celtigar, would inherit Claw Isle.
Council of Nine

**The North** is traditionally governed by a group of nine advisors, called the **Council of Nine**, with two seats open to members of each region. These men (and sometimes women) advise the King on issues in their realm and abroad, though the final decision always lies with the Throne. Of these Nine, one may be chosen who sits as the King's chief advisor, the traditional title of Hand of the King, to the south. The presence of the Nine is only mandatory during dire times, and when matters of great import are discussed - during all other periods, their presence is not required in Winterfell, though of course all are welcome.

### Current Council of Nine

* Edderion Stark, King in the North
* Rogar Bolton, of the North
* Melwyn Manderly, of the North
* Harren Blackfish, of the Riverlands
* Roger Blackwood, of the Riverlands
* Osric Arryn, of the Vale
* Osric Hunter, of the Vale
* Harras Greyjoy, of the Isles
* Victarion Drumm, of the Isles

Past members include e.g. Lord Rickon Stark, of the North (succeeded by Lord Rogar Bolton) or Lord Wyllam Waynwood, of the Vale (succeeded by Ser Osric of House Hunter), and Lord Robb Frey, of the Riverlands (succeeded by Lord Roger Blackwood).
Gaunt's Outlaw Band

**Gaunt's Outlaw Band** is a group of two dozen or so outlaws operating out of the Kingswood. Formed by Gaunt when he befriended Lackey in 363 AC, it has since steadily grown to it's current numbers.

## History

As a young boy, Gaunt's parents were murdered as a result of the War of the Burning Brand, and as such, Gaunt resorted to living by what means he could in the Kingswood.

Years later, having developed his skills at hunting and foraging, Gaunt turned to banditry. With great success early on, Gaunt saught to expand his operations, and recruited Lackey, officially forming the band in 363 AC.

For the next seven years, the band gained members bit by bit. Men and women came, others left and some died. By 370 AC, the group numbered a small yet resolute thirty five.

## Initiation

With the growth of their small band of brigands, Gaunt and Lackey sought for a way to make joining them official. Many of their members would be those looking to avoid a life atop the Wall, and so the two men sought an oath, of sorts, of their own.

Though the formalities of the initiation are unknown, it is known that those wishing to seek must first prove themselves to the other members. It is not known how long they must do this for, but when they have done so, they are invited to join the rank's of the outlaw band permanently.

In order to join, members must revoke their birth names, using only the monikers given to them by their companions instead. Though none of the members know each others' true names, it is the aspect of reverting from this life that is ended upon initiation. To give up one's old life in favor of their new one signals their devotion to their cause.

New recruits are also asked to swear their allegiance in blood. A knife is used to create a scar, running from the lower pinkie to the upper ring finger on either hand. This small mark seals their oath to the band, and serves as an identification that would pass undetected by most.

## Known Members

* Father
* Gaunt
* Lackey
* Pest
* Runner
* Scraps
* Shaft
* Snips
* Three-Piece
* Yapper

Euron Greyjoy

The Battle of the Shields was a major naval battle near the end of the War of the Five Kings, that saw the breaking of the Ironborn fleet, the death of their sovereign, and the recapture of the Shield Isles by the Reach.

## Lead Up

Following a defeat at the mouth of the Whispering Sound, Euron Greyjoy and his reavers are thrown back from the mainland, losing their footholds on the Arbor and the south-western coasts of the Reach. Euron falls back to the Shield Isles, still in Ironborn possession, intent on counterattacking. He sends word to the Iron Islands, demanding more ships, but the workings of Asha Greyjoy and Rodrick the Reader, combined with his recent losses, severely damage any hold he has on the Isles. No ships come, and soon, the navy of the Reach can be seen on the horizon.

## Battle

While Highgarden, Oldtown and a few minor strongholds along the coast all contributed, the hard heart of the Reach's navy belonged to House Redwyne. As the battle joined, the burgundy grape cluster on blue closed in from two sides, each led by Lord Redwyne or one of his sons. The Ironborn did not shy from battle - theirs was a whirling advance, seemingly lacking all coordination but with the deadly grace of a hurricane.

The two forces met with a shattering of oars, the sound of splintering wood carried long distances across the choppy sea. The Ironfleet met the Redwyne warships head on, while longships lanced between them, picking off stray fighters or hounding vessels in packs. The Ironborn fought hard, their skill at sea and love of battle turning them into terrible foes. But they lacked the numbers, and many bore wounds from previous battles, or were exhausted from constant raiding. With no fresh troops from the Isles, all Euron had were those reavers who first descended with him.

Soon the battle began to turn, as warship struck ironship in the flank, or galleys brought hails of arrows down upon rogue longships. The Ironborn did not retreat - instead they died, or burned, or drowned. When Euron himself perished, his flagship boarded and pierced below the waterline, his crew slain or lost, and a score of foemen dead about his feet, the resolve of the Ironmen broke. They turned their longships and fled - leaving the Isles and the victory in the hands of the Reach.

## Aftermath

The surviving Ironborn ships race homeward, sure that the Redwynes will not be far behind. The Reach is in no rush, however - with the majority of the Iron Fleet now at the bottom of the Sunset Sea, the Islands are wide open to attack. With winter nearly upon them and much of the harvest on the west coast lost, the Tyrells and their vassals look inward, intent on ensuring their own safety before sailing northward to bring the recaltriant Isles to heel. Asha Greyjoy, knowing that the Isles cannot stand against the full force of the Iron Throne's navy, sends word to her brother Theon in Winterfell, offering terms to Robb Stark to protect the lives of her people.
Hornvale

Hornvale is the castle in eastern Westerlands, and the seat of House Brax, one of the main bannermen of House Lannister. It is situated in hilly and mountainous terrain near the headwaters of the Red Fork, south of the Golden Tooth and north of Deep Den and the Goldroad. It's garrison stands 3,200 men strong.

## Layout

Hornvale is the biggest of the three keeps that are in possession of House Brax and their ancestral seat. Its main feature are two towers, guarding the lord's tower, named after two great lords of Hornvale that ruled in the Targaryen Era - Brynden's tower and Victaria's tower. Maester's tower is located in Victaria's tower, and guest tower is located in Brynden's Tower. The legend has it that the keep was given its name after these two towers.

The keep also has a small sept on the east, and a crypt on the southern side of the construction. It's also the home of :

* Alerie's gardens, gardens built by Lord Brynden Brax for his wife, lady Alerie Farman. It was expended by his descendant, Lord Tytos Brax.
* Horntown, a small town just below the hill castle's been built on.

## Court

Ser Jon Brax, son of the previous castellan Flement, is castellan, ruling in his lord's absence.

Alvyn Drox is steward, appointed in 370 AC, to strengthen the bonds between the liege and his vassal.

Bryan Hill, bastard son of Lord Tytos Brax, is master-at-arms. He's also the head of his lord's little guard.
