Roger and his younger brother, the more cunning Ser Reynard, spent a lot of time at Casterly Rock when their sister was married to Ser Tion Lannister, the heir of Lord Gerold Lannister. The two were showered with honours, as Ellyn ruled as effectively Lady of the Rock. After the death of Tion, however, the two left to return to Castamere, and Ellyn was remarried to Lord Walderan Tarbeck.

Roger affirmed that neither he nor his vassals should do so, and he rose in rebellion against the Lannisters.

My featherbed is deep and soft,

and there I'll lay you down,

I'll dress you all in yellow silk,

and on your head a crown.

For you shall be my lady love,

and I shall be your lord.

I'll always keep you warm and safe,

and guard you with my sword.

And how she smiled and how she laughed,

the maiden of the tree.

She spun away and said to him,

no featherbed for me.

I'll wear a gown of golden leaves,

and bind my hair with grass,

But you can be my forest love,

and me your forest lass.

Rhalla´s father was killed in battle in 43 AC, leading to Princess Rhaena to go into hiding with both Rhalla and Aerea. They were eventually found, however, and captured on the orders of King Maegor.

Aerea's mother, Princess Rhaena, was forced to marry King Maegor I Targaryen in 47 AC. Because Maegor had no children of his own, Rhalla's sister Aerea was named his heir, while her uncle, Prince Jaehaerys was disinherited.

Rhoyne

## History

Millennia ago, the Rhoyne, as a vast river fertilising the lands around it, became the home of a people called the Rhoynar, who lived along its banks, eventually coming to build several city-states along its banks, including one called Anar. The Rhoynar were warriors who could be ruled by men or women.

One thousand years ago, six centuries before the Doom of Valyria, the armies of the Valyrian Freehold invaded the region surrounding the River Rhoyne. The city of Anar was destroyed by Valyria's dragons as a sign of might. Rather than submit, Queen Nymeria led a mass evacuation of her people. According to legend, ten thousand ships of all sizes were assembled, sailed down the Rhoyne and into the sea, and thence westwards to Dorne, in the south of Westeros. There the Rhoynar invaded and subjugated the land, aided by allies such as Mors Martell, whom Nymeria married and proclaimed the Prince of Dorne.

Following the mass Rhoynar evacuation, the Valyrians colonised the region, building immense roads linking the Rhoyne to distant Valyria, and constructing the city of Volantis at the mouth of the river as a port and colony.

After the Doom of Valyria, Volantis attempted to conquer the surrounding region during the free-for-all known as the Bleeding Years, and begged for help from House Targaryen, then controlling the island of Dragonstone in the Narrow Sea. The Targaryens refused, instead embarking on an invasion of Westeros.

The Rhoyne became an important defensive bulwark and impediment against the Dothraki khalasars of the east in subsequent centuries.

## History

Over four hundred years before the War of the Usurper, a *khalasar* led by Khal Temmo came out of the Dothraki Sea intent on attacking Qohor. Qohor hired the mercenary companies Bright Banners and the Second Sons and purchased three thousand Unsullied. When the Unsullied arrived, the Qohorik forces had been shattered. The Dothraki had returned to their camp to wait for the next day to finish the city off. The next morning they found the Unsullied standing before them. Eighteen times they charged and attacked the Unsullied ranks, each time failing to break through. At the end of the battle, twelve thousand Dothraki were dead including Khal Temmo. The four hundred remaining Unsullied watched as the surviving Dothraki cut their braids and threw them at the feet of the Unsullied.

Valyria

**Valyria** was a great city located on the continent of Essos. It was destroyed in a volcanic cataclysm known as the Doom of Valyria, which took place approximately one hundred years before Aegon I Targaryen invaded Westeros, and four hundred years prior to the War of the Five Kings. Valyria was the capital city of the Valyrian Freehold, one of the most powerful empires in the history of the known world.

## Founding

Valyria was founded more than five thousand years ago. Shepherds found dragons lairing on the slopes of the Fourteen Fires, a chain of massive, active volcanoes stretching across the neck of the Valyrian Peninsula. By means unknown, but possibly involving magic, the dragons were tamed and the Valyrians were able to use them for transportation and war. The Valyrians threw down the then-dominant Ghiscari Empire and conquered all the lands surrounding Slaver's Bay and the Gulf of Grief. The city of Valyria grew from a backwater to the greatest city in the world, the center of a vast network of straight roads extending across much of western and southern Essos. The Lords Freeholder met in the city to debate policy and rule their vast lands.

## Destruction

The city of Valyria was not directly destroyed by a volcanic eruption during the Doom, as it lay more than a hundred miles south of the Fourteen Fires. However, a colossal amount of ash was propelled far from the eruptions and descended on the city, smothering it (hence the common phrase that the Doom "descended" on Valyria). How quickly the city succumbed and how many people were able to escape is not known.

## Ruins

Valyria today survives as ruins, located on the largest surviving fragment of the shattered peninsula. By all reports, the city is at least partially intact, preserved by the very ash that destroyed it. Getting to the ruins is highly problematic, as the Smoking Sea that now surrounds the island gives off poisonous fumes that can quickly kill a person and there is no bridge or other link to the mainland to the north. In addition, there is a strong superstition in Essos that to sail within sight of the shores of Valyria means death, which discourages travel there. Gerion Lannister is one of the more notable travellers to have made the long journey to Valyria and not returned.

However, a significant number of looters have reached the city safely over the years, enough to pick the city clean of many significant treasures and artifacts. Euron Greyjoy is known to have sailed to Valyria and returned safely with an ancient dragon horn.

He attacks it with Grenn, but the Other breaks Grenn's sword and then kills Paul. As he dies Paul crashes into the Other, tearing the sword from its hands.
