The mob pushed through her attacks and she was within easy reach of archers and crossbowmen. They loosed arrows and quarrels at the her. Wherever she lighted men swarmed to attack her driving her back into the air. Eventually one of her eyes weas nicked by a crossbow bolt.

Fourteen Fires

The **Fourteen Fires,** also known as the **Fourteen Flames,** are a chain of large volcanoes located across the neck of the Valyrian Peninsula. Four centuries before the War of the Five Kings, the Fourteen Fires and many lesser peaks erupted in violent explosions of fire and lava, consuming and destroy the Valyrian Freehold in an event known to history as the Doom of Valyria.

## Location

The Fourteen Fires stretched across the neck of the peninsula, dividing the Valyrian heartlands to the south from the Lands of the Long Summer to the north. One of the famed Valyrian roads crossed the chain, indicating there was at least one usable pass linking the two regions.

## Use

The Fourteen Fires were used as lairs for the Valyrian dragons. They were also used as mines, with slaves toiling underneath the burning mountains looking for precious metals and riches. This was extremely dangerous work, since as well as natural dangers, creatures such as firewyrms were enountered under and inside the volcanoes. According to the Faceless Men, their founders worked the mines underneath the Fourteen Fires and yearned for the day when they could take vengeance against the Valyrians.

## The Doom

On the night of the Doom, the Fourteen Fires erupted with tremendous force. The resulting firestorms, earthquakes and tsunamis that shattered the Valyrian Peninsula, allowing the sea to come rushing in along the main faultline (along the volcanic chain). This reduced the Valyrian heartland to the south to a series of islands. The sea around the islands - soon known as the Smoking Sea - became poisonous, giving off vapours that were fatal to breathe.

At least some of the Fourteen Fires survived the Doom. Travellers who sail close to the shore report that the night sky still glows red over Valyria, and ash and dark clouds still boil from the surviving volcanoes.

These followers believe that a man can attain salvation by being drowned in salt water and later resuscitated, going through the same process of rebirth as their god. They are therefore called Drowned Men and wear robes of roughspun seaweed, stained with salt. They believe that when righteous men die, they are summoned to the Drowned God's watery halls, where they will feast forever beneath the waves.

### Founder

Valyrian Freehold

**Dragonstone** is a castle and an island off the east coast of Westeros that currently serves as the seat of House Baratheon of Dragonstone. It was one of the old seats of House Targaryen after the Doom of Valyria.

After the War of Conquest, Dragonstone was granted to the heir apparent to the Iron Throne to prepare them for ruling the Seven Kingdoms. These lords were known as the Princes of Dragonstone. This tradition was abolished after Robert's Rebellion, where the castle was permanently granted to Stannis Baratheon and his new cadet branch of House Baratheon.

All the houses of Blackwater Bay are sworn directly to Dragonstone, despite being in the Crownlands, where most houses are sworn directly to the Iron Throne.

## History

During the imperialistic reign of the Valyrian Freehold and its Dragonlords, the vast Freehold colonized several islands of Blackwater Bay, most notably: Dragonstone, Driftmark, and Claw Isle. House Targaryen gained a fief on Dragonstone, House Velaryon on Driftmark, and House Celtigar on Claw Isle.

Twelve years before the Doom of Valyria, Daenys Targaryen had a prophetic dream where she saw the Doom of Valyria. She told her father Aenar about this, and Aenar fled with his family and household to Dragonstone to escape the inevitable doom that his daughter foresaw. The Dragonlords saw Aenar as a coward for this, and officially stripped House Targaryen of their legacy as Dragonlords. Aenar was famously known in Valyria as "Aenar the Exile".

Aenar would rule Dragonstone, and would then be succeeded by his son, Gaemon Targaryen, known as Gaemon the Glorious. Though the Targaryens brought five dragons with them to the island, four of them died, the survivor being Balerion the Black Dread. They had two dragon eggs, however, that hatched, giving birth to Vhagar and Meraxes.

## History

Dalton was rowing at five, and reaving at ten. He sailed with his uncle to raid the pirate towns of the Basilisk Isles. By fourteen, Dalton had sailed as far away as Old Ghis and claimed four salt wives.

Dalton claimed a Valyrian steel sword, Nightfall, from the corpse of a dead corsair. Whilst fighting in the Stepstones, Dalton avenged his uncle, who he saw killed before him. Men began calling him the Red Kraken as he emerged from battle covered in blood. When he returned to the Iron Islands as the Lord Reaper of Pyke, he began building longships and forging steels, saying that the storm was coming.

Dalton was said to have laughed after hearing the news of the beginning of the Dance of the Dragons. The greens, who supported Aegon II Targaryen, offered Dalton the title of Master of Ships in return for his support. Under the suggestion of Prince Daemon Targaryen, Rhaenyra Targaryen instead appealed to Dalton's bloodlust and asked him to fight her enemies on the west coast.

Dlaton then sided with Rhaenyra Targaryen, and invaded the Westerlands, as Lord Jason Lannister was campaining in the Riverlands. His wife, Lady Johanna Lannister, barred the gates of Casterly Rock, but couldn't prevent Dalton from attacking elsewhere. Dalton burned the fleet of House Lannister and sacked Lannisport, carrying off gold, grain, and trade goods. Hundreds of girls were taken away as salt wives, including Jason's favourite mistress and their natural daughters. Dalton led the capture of Kayce, and after the fall of Fair Isle he claimed four of Lord Farman's daughters as his salt wives, giving a more homely one to his brother, Veron. Dalton refused to stop his raiding after the Dance ended, and defied the regency council of King Aegon III Targaryen.

Whilst sleeping in his room at Faircastle, his throat was cut by a girl called Tess, who then threw herself into the sea. His only sons were born from salt wives, and hours after his death a succession squabble began. In 134 AC Jason Lannister's widow, Johanna Lannister, avenged Dalton's raids by having her men-at-arms sail to the Iron Islands with the fleet of Ser Leo Costayne, the lord admiral of the Reach. One of Dalton's salt sons was taken captive, gelded, and made into Casterly Rock's new fool.

Florys the Fox

## Florys

**Florys**, mainly referred to as **Florys the Fox**, was the daughter of the legendary King Garth Greenhand, and supposedly the cleverest.

The sons that she had by each of these husbands went on to found House Florent, House Ball, and House Peake. Some people of The Reach claim that Lann the Clever was a bastard born of Florys.
Cregan Stark

Jonnel Stark, Barthogan Stark, Edric Stark, Lyanna Stark, Brandon Stark (by Lynara stark)

**Cregan Stark** was a member of House Stark and Lord of Winterfell during the Dance of the Dragons and supported Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen's claim to the throne. The only son of Lord Rickon Stark and his wife Gilliane Glover, he was known as The Old Man of the North for his long rule.

Cregan was only a young man during the Dance of the Dragons (129-131AC), and it was Roddy the Ruin of House Dustin who lead the Winter Wolves in battle. He later led his army into battle, since the Northmen believed a long winter was coming, and most of his army was conformed by old men, single men, childless and homeless as well as younger sons, who hoped to die in battle in order to spare their families from mouths to feed. Unfortunately Aegon II had already died and most of the war was over. He was also denied the right to punish the houses who had supported Aegon and for six days he held sway at the Court, who came to be known as the Hour of the Wolf.

Nonetheless Stark couldn't forgive those who had poisoned the king, since he believed the King deserved justice, regardless of the faction, so he arrested most of the suspects, among them Larys Strong and Lord Corlys Velaryon. King Aegon, who was only eleven, agreed to make him his Hand, if he married Lady Alysanne Blackwood and pardoned Lord Corlys. Cregan accepted the conditions.

Cregan was in office for only one day and presided the trials and executions. Of the 22 conspirators, only Lord Corlys was forgiven and 19 chose to join the Night's Watch, but two chose to die; Larys the Clubfoot and Ser Gyles Belgrave, and it is very likely that Cregan executed them both personally, ending the line of House Strong. Once finished he resigned as Hand and returned north with his new wife, leaving some of his men behind. No man has ever served as Hand of the King so briefly, and left it so gladly.

Later in his life he once fought against Prince Aemon Targaryen the Dragonknight and was barely defeated. Aemon noted he never fought a finer swordsman.

He had three wives during his long lifetime: Arra Norrey, Alysanne Blackwood and Lynara Stark, and fathered in total ten children; five boys and five girls.

The marriage with Arra Norrey had only one son; Rickon Stark. The marriage with Alysanne Blackwood gave him four daughters; Sarra, Alys, Raya and Mariah. While he had four sons and a daughter with Lynara; Brandon, Jonnel, Barthogan, Lyanna and Edric Stark.
Eddard Karstark

**Eddard Karstark**, nicknamed **Edd**, was a warrior of House Karstark. He was the second son of Rickard Karstark. He was named for Eddard Stark.

Chett

**Chett** was a member of the Night's Watch serving at Castle Black. Born in a village called Hag's Mire in the Riverlands, Chett spent his childhood helping his father collect leeches. As a young man he killed a woman who refused to sleep with him, was apprehended, and condemned. He chose to take the black and was sent to the Wall. He got a relatively light responsibility when he was assigned to assist Maester Aemon in his duties, until he was replaced by Samwell Tarly (at Jon Snow's suggestion) and reassigned to work with the hounds instead, to his fury.

Chett was part of Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's reconnaisance-in-force of the Skirling Pass. Angry due to slights real and imagined and fearing they would all be killed so far from the Wall, Chett organised a mass-desertion of those unhappy with the situation, but he was instead killed by the Others during their assault on the Fist of the First Men. He later returned to life as a wight and threatened Bran Stark until he was destroyed by the engimatic creature known as Coldhands.

Chett was the prologue POV character in *A Storm of Swords*.
Glendon Flowers

Ser **Glendon Flowers**, referred to as **Glendon Ball** by himself and mocked as the **Knight of the Pussywillows**, was a hedge knight during the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen. He claimed to be the illegitimate son of Ser Quentyn Ball, and adopted his supposed father's sigil as his own.

## Apperance and Character

Glendon was short and stocky with thick arms and muscles. His eyes were close and small-set. He had thick eyebrows, a big nose and a prominent chin.

## History

Glendon's mother was a whore known as Penny Jenny, who was a known lover to Ser Quentyn Ball. She was a camp follower, and prior to the Battle of Redgrass Field she slept with twelve men. After the battle, she relocated to a brothel in King's Landing, called the Pussywillows. There she raised her son and daughter, who would go on to be a whore.

Glendon learned the knightly arts from an elderly squire who lived nearby, and would be raised by the other whores after his mother's death. Half a year before the Whitewalls Tourney, he was knighted by Ser Morgan Dunstable, who only did it as Glendon's sister promised to give him her maidenhead if he knighted her brother.

Ser Glendon is amongst the hedge knights at the Whitewalls Tourney that camps by the lake. He is hoping to make a name for himself. In his first joust he unhorses Ser Argrave the Defiant in the first tilt. He then goes on to unhorse Lord Alyn Cockshaw, Lord Costayne, and Ser Mortimer Boggs.

Lord Gormon Peake worries that Glendon stands between Daemon II Blackfyre and victory, and so frames Glendon for the theft of the dragon egg. Glendon is tortured by Ser Tommard Heddle and is released on the condition he face Daemon in a joust. Glendon, despite still reeling from the torture, defeats Daemon in the first tilt, proving himself to be innocent.

**Lord Edmyn Tully** was a member of House Tully. He was Lord of Riverrun during the War of Conquest. He sided with Aegon I Targaryen against Harren Hoare.

## History

Edmyn was the first riverlord to raise his banners in support of Aegon. His troops marched with Aegon's to the newly constructed castle of Harrenhal, where the lineage of House Hoare is ended by the dragon fire of Balerion. After the defeat of Harren, Edmyn was granted dominion over The Riverlands and styled Lord Paramount of the Trident. He was possibly chosen for this job because other possibilities, such as House Bracken or House Blackwood, were less politically stable.

One of Edmyn's daughter was married to Quenton Qoherys, the new Lord of Harrenhal. Edmyn would go on to serve as King's Hand for Aegon during the years 7-9.
Gaemon Palehair

**Gaemon Palehair** was a pretender king during the Dance of the Dragons. His mother, Essie, claimed he was the bastard son of King Aegon II Targaryen. In the end she confessed to the fact that her son was actually born from a silver haired oarsman from Lys. Gaemon died of poison whilst serving as King Aegon III Targaryen's foodtaster.

## History

During the Moon of the Three Kings Gaemon revealed himself as the bastard of King Aegon, and claimed that he himself should be king. He gathered thousands to his cause after issuing his edicts, most of which were favourable to the poor.

Gaemon was spared after his mother's confession, although she was hanged for treason. He was even taken into the royal household, and would befriend the young King Aegon III Targaryen. He was made the king's whipping boy by Lord Unwin Peake. He was later made foodtaster and would die of poison that may have been intended for the king.
House Goodbrook

File:Casa Goodbrook.png
**House Goodbrook** is a noble house from the Riverlands. They were one of the only Riverlands houses that stayed loyal to Aerys II Targaryen during Robert's Rebellion. As a result of this, their lands were burned by Hoster Tully and they have been financially weakened ever since.
House Darklyn

**House Darklyn** is an extinct noble house of the Crownlands. Their sigil was fusily black and gold, 7 white escutcheons upon a red tierce.

## History

The Darklyns were a rich and powerful house who ruled Duskendale and the surrounding region as the Dusk Kings for more than a thousand years, at the height of their power exerting influence as far north as Crackclaw Point. They later bent the knee to Aegon the Conqueror and may have been among the first to do so, due to their proximity to the site of King's Landing.

The Darklyns served the Targaryens with distinction and honour. No less than seven sons of the house, more than any other, served in the Kingsguard. Ser Rolland Darklyn - the youngest member of the Kingsguard until Jaime Lannister - saved the life of one of the kings during a battle and was made a Kingsguard on the spot despite his grievous wounds. He died within the hour, but the king survived.

Circa 270 AL, Lord Denys Darklyn was convinced by his Myrish wife, Lady Serala, to stop paying taxes to the crown as a demonstration of his strength. King Aerys II Targaryen decided to handle the matter personally and came north to confront Lord Denys. Denys panicked and had the king seized. During this scuffle, Ser Gwayne Gaunt of the Kingsguard was killed by the Darklyn master-at-arms, Ser Symon Hollard. Lord Tywin Lannister, the Hand of the King, surrounded the town with a substantial host. The siege became known as the Defiance of Duskendale. Eventually, Ser Barristan Selmy of the Kingsguard led a sortie into the town which successfully rescued King Aerys.

At King Aerys' order, every member of House Darklyn was put to death. Their lands were confiscated (and later awarded to House Rykker). House Hollard, the Darklyns' closest allies, was likewise destroyed, with their castle being pulled down. The youngest member of the house, Dontos Hollard, was spared after the personal intervention of Barristan Selmy and grew up to be a knight before he was murdered during the War of the Five Kings.

For House Darklyn there was no such mercy. Lord Denys and his children were executed. Lady Serala was accounted a witch and her tongue and female parts were torn out before she was burned alive in the Targaryen fashion.

Although the Darklyns have been utterly destroyed, several families in Duskendale - the Darkes, Dargoods and Darkwoods - claim kinship to the house, perhaps in the hopes of eventually one day making a play for lordship.
