Joren Ironfist

The Chief of the Highfists has squinty black eyes and bushy eyebrows. He stands at 6’2 with course black hair and a bushy beard. His expression is generally mean.

## History

The Highfists lived well in the Haunted Forest as far as wildling clans were concerned. The wild provided enough sustenance for nearly 7,500 wildlings to grow together. The wild and their neighbors that is. As of recent years, the Highfists have had an aggressive culture. Joren’s father, Moren, led the clan on a series of raids in order to gain supplies. Joren spent much of his early life training and going on these raids often against outnumbered opponents or women and children.

The raids for food ruined any empathy Joren had for others outside of his clan. As his father grew order, Joren found himself leading more and more raids to gain much needed supplies and food.

One of these raids took Joren to Hardhome. He could recall his first sight of the Shivering Sea as if it were yesterday. The ocean symbolized freedom from the cold wasteland they inhabited. Joren took a fascination for the sea, and gathered as much knowledge of it as he could.

As all men do, Moren eventually passed, and it was expected of Joren to take over as chief. However, a few candidates stood in the way. Rather than dueling them, Joren convinced a few hundred supporters in the clan to help murder the candidates. They set out at night, and when dawn arose, Joren stood as Chief of the Highfists. His hard rule gave him the name Ironfist. Joren seeks a better life for his people, and the first step for that takes place with their longtime rivals, Clan Stonehead.

Archibald YronwoodWilliam Yronwood

**Edgar II Yronwood** was the Bloodroyal and twelfth King of the Kingdom of the Greenbelt. His anger over his father's death in the War of the Torrentine lead to a break down in camaraderie between House Yronwood and House Martell.

He fought several skirmishes against these enemies before dying from an infection sustained in battle in 250AA. Many Maesters of today cite Edgar's distrust of the Martell family as one of the reasons House Dayne was able to escape destruction during the war. His skills with a blade were only matched on the battlefield by his lust for blood. Some jape he spent so much time in the field he forgot to make time for his wife, only fathering a single child despite being one of the longest living Bloodroyals.
House Serrett

**House Serrett of Silverhill** is a noble house from Silverhill in the Westerlands. It is one of the principal houses sworn to Casterly Rock.

They blazon their arms with a peacock in his pride on cream. Their words according to semi-canon sources are "I Have No Rival".

## History

House Serrett was formed by the union of First Men and Andal nobles during the Andal invasion.
Jonos I Arryn

**Jonos I Arryn** was the second King of the reformed Kingdom of Mountain and Vale. King Jonos I led a vast host against the mountain clansmen and fought for two years against them, costing the Vale dearly in lives. Meanwhile in the Riverlands, The Fletcher Rebellion broke out. Instead of sending men to fight the man known as Quent, the Vale peacefully retreated from the Riverlands, in exchange for the Riverlands never attacking the Vale again.

As his armies marshalled for the final blow, however, the clansmen slipped away into the mountains, vanishing. King Jonos was mortified: he had lost his vengeance, he had lost the Riverlands, and he had wasted countless lives in the quest for the elusive mountain clansmen. Shortly thereafter he married a woman named Mya and she bore him a son, Eddisson.

In 33 AA, the King in the North called on the Vale to send aid when the Wildlings passed the Wall and invaded the North. King Jonos dispatched a host under the command of his cousin Hubert Arryn, who perished in the fighting. For four more years King Jonos would reign before his death in the year 37 AA.
Maric I Dayne

**Maric I Dayne** was the King of the Torrentine and Lord of Starfall between 150AA and 151AA.

At the end of the Torrentine’s war with the Greenbelt, Quentyn’s eldest son Maric I had taken up the throne in Starfall after his father’s death. He was, unfortunately, not the same man as his father. He was immature and young at only 17, and in his youth sought to proof himself a strong ruler by forcing his advisors to follow ill-informed decisions that he himself pressed. After a particularly difficult season that saw a decrease in revenue for the Kingdom as well as degenerating relations with House Dayne’s vassals, Maric I was killed in his sleep and his younger brother Quentyn III was placed on the throne. Some blame Maric's unsuccessful defence of the Torrentine in The Water War.
Lorosy

Lorosy is a small fishing village on the western coastline of The Axe. The town provides various types of fish for Lorath. In the summer times, they bring in the most, but during the winters, many of the best fishing spots freeze up. Nonetheless it remains a profitable town for Lorath.

## History

The Fourth War of the Axe, remembered as the Short War, and sometimes Igg's Folly was fought in part in Lorosy. Ibbenese raiders led by the fearsome reaver-hunter Igg Tobo landed upon the Axe, raiding the Lorathi fishing town. Unfortunately for them, a Norvoshi navy lingered a few leagues to the south, an escort in preparation for the pilgrimage of the High Priest of Great Norvos, Gavus to Braavos. The raiders hoed the fishing village for no longer than a few weeks, but in spite of the minimal duration of the conflict, it is considered a war nonetheless.

## Layout

Though a small fishing village, there are several important places within the town.

* Fishmongers Square - The central hub of activity within the town. Every morning on the wolfs howl and the suns turn, the fishmongers come out with their daily hauls. Two major fishlords compete above the rest, Jaqen the Fat and Jaqen the Bold, much to the confusion of the populace.
* The Bay of Otters - One of two popular fishing spots. The bay curves in towards the interior of The Axe. Besides the fishing, it is a popular place for recreational sailing.
* The Bay of Leviathans - Famed for supposed kraken sightings, this bay sits on the northern side of Lorosy, and is famous for its salmon and tilapia fish.
Laxor's Edict

Laxor's Edict is a vast rock carving found within the Kingdom of Sarnor, named for the High-King of the Tagaez Fen, Laxor Amai, the great great grandson of legendary hero Huzhor Amai.

## History

Throughout the Kingdom of Sarnor and often placed alongside roads and rivers, a great number of rock carvings can be found, many pre-dating even that of the younger cities of the High Kingdoms, although new reliefs are continuously added by orders of Kings, Princes and Justiciars alike.

Detailing ancient heroes, lessons from religion and laws alike, as well as slew of other topics, the most noted example is that of Laxor’s Edict, found upon the road between Sarnath and Rathylar. Near one hundred feet tall, the carving depicts the supposed great great grandson of the legendary king Huzhor Amai, whip and bow in hand, and a dragon, harpy and lion defeated at his feet.

An inscription beneath the statue is carved in half a dozen languages, including Sarnori, Valyrian, Ghiscari and Hyrkoonik, as well as the long-forgotten scripts of the Jhogwin and Ifequevron. In the Common Tongue, it is often translated to “The Tallest Men Demand the Tallest Crowns.”

Owing to its location near the Trading City of Kasath, it is perhaps the most documented and famous feature in Sarnori culture amongst the Free Cities and beyond.
Joffrey I Darklyn

Dusk King

Lord of the Dun Fort

**Joffrey I Darklyn** was the eighth king of the Dusklands, and the eldest son of King Denys II Darklyn. Joffrey ruled from 150 AA to his death in 171 AA.

Whilst not having any reason to be so, Joffrey was well renowned as a swordsman and a general, and was known for being strong. His reign was plagued by bandit attacks, and rumours were common that the king funded these bandits anonymously, so he could march against them using the armies under his control.

Whilst violent, the king was well-liked, and trained his children in the art of combat as well, along with attempting to make them more merciful. As the Dusklands' next war would prove, Steffon and Renfred did not take on that lesson entirely.

Legion of the Jade Dagger

The Legion of the Jade Dagger is an ancient sellsword company, hailing from Yi Ti. For centuries the Legion has served as a refuge for YiTish nobles and warriors in the disputed lands, regardless the reason for their presence so far from the homeland.

The Legion holds true to the strict caste system of Yi Ti, where both role within the company and dynastic ties greatly affect the respect a member is afforded by his peers and commanders. To this end, it is rare for members of the lower castes to reach the upper echelons of the Legion whilst many of nobles are often recruited straight into such ranks. There have been exceptions, but these are few and far between.

## Recent History

The Legion of the Jade Dagger has spent the last decade fighting in the Qartheen civil war, and was the responsible party in the sacking of the city of Qaggash in 291AA.
House Frey

House Haigh

House Nayland

**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 northern 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 lord also holds the title of Warden of the Northern Borders, responsible for securing the northern borders of the Trident against invasion or intrusion.

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

The strategic location of the Twins has allowed the house to become quite wealthy. This wealth was leverage over House Fletcher, giving the Kingly House a considerable amount of debt to the Lord of the Crossing. As such, they now press that as claimancey over the Kingdom of the Trident.

### Origin

House Frey dates back six centuries, making it one of the younger noble houses in Westeros. The first Lord Frey was awarded lands and a noble status, and began the construction of a great bridge spanning the Green Fork of the Trident. Construction was finished under the rule of his grandson, who added wooden keeps on both sides of the river. The timber keeps were eventually replaced by stone keeps, which received the name "the Twins".

Due to their strategic location, House Frey prospered by exacting tolls for passage across the river, greatly increasing their wealth.
House Tyrell

**House Tyrell** is a noble family from the Reach. House Tyrell serve as the High Stewards of Highgarden, a hereditary title they hold.

## History

House Tyrell can trace their line of descent through the female line to the legendary Garth the Gardener, the mythical first King of the Reach reigning in the Age of Heroes, and the son of the equally mythic Garth Greenhand. Members of House Gardener, the ruling house of the Kingdom of the Reach, periodically intermarried with lower ranking houses of the Reach such as House Tyrell.

The Tyrells served as stewards to House Gardener. Ser Alester Tyrell, the founder of the house, was an Andal knight and adventurer who showed such prowess at arms that he was named the champion and sworn shield of King Gwayne V Gardener, the last of the Three Sage Kings. Ser Alester's eldest son also became a notable knight, but died in a tourney. Alester's second son, Gareth, was of a more bookish bent and never achieved knighthood, choosing instead to serve as a royal steward. He and his son Leo performed their duties so well, the Gardeners made the office of High Steward hereditary. It is from Gareth that today’s Tyrells descend.

During the minority of King Garland VI Gardener, a member of House Tyrell ruled the Reach in his name as Regent.

When Lords Manderly and Peake instigated a civil war to see their respective wives, both daughters to the senile old King Garth X Gardener, succeed as Queen of the Reach, Ser Osmund Tyrell, the High Steward of Highgarden, led an alliance of twoscore houses to put down the rebels and reclaimed the ruins of Highgarden which had been sacked by a Dornish king and his raiders. Ser Osmund placed a second cousin of the late Garth X, who has been killed by the raiders, upon the new throne as King Mern VI Gardener.

Relying on the able counsel of Ser Osmund, and later Osmund's son Ser Robert Tyrell, and finally Robert's son Lorent Tyrell, King Mern ruled well, rebuilding Highgarden and doing much and more to restore the power of the Reach and House Gardener. Mern VI was so pleased with them that he gave Ser Robert the hand of his youngest daughter in marriage, thereby allowing the following generations of Tyrells to claim decent from Garth Greenhand. That was the first marriage between the two houses, and nine more unions followed in the passing centuries.

Isle of Love

The Isle of Love is one of the fifteen islands that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.

## Description

The Isle of Love is one of the smallest of the major islands that make up the Summer Isles archipelago, and is found just north of Moluu. Despite this, every Summer Islander is expected to spend some time upon the island, amongst those that share their bodies and talents within the Palaces of Love, where the affection of Sallar and Shanta, the Two Halves of the Summer Islander deity of love, is said to be felt most strongly. Surrounding the palaces is a hardwood grove, including unfathomably large Goldenheart, Ebony and Blue Mahoe trees. Each has been carved into the form of Sallar and Shanta, locked in an embrace, but the roots are untouched by the process, meaning the figures continue to live, as they have done for hundreds of years.

As all men and women are considered equal on the island, no family or house may claim dominion over the island. Violence of any kind whilst on the Isle of Love is punishable by immediate exile from the Summer Isles.
Lhazareen

The Lhazareen are a nation of livestock shepherds that have colonised an area of semi-arid grassland named the Lhazar. They are a peaceful people, and as such fall prey to to many other peoples of the world, particularly so the Ghiscari of Slaver's Bay.

## People and Culture

The Lhazareen have bronze-toned skin, dark hair, and trusting almond-shaped eyes. Slightly shorter than the average man, their lifestyle tending to slowly grazing animals leads many to be squat, unrushed in their pace.

Their language is spoken in a flowing song-like verse, so when they call for their flock, it may sound like they are singing to the hills.

Their towns and houses are made of thick dried mud, built in both squares and massive domes like onions.

The Lhazareen worship the Great Shepherd, the primary teaching of the religion being that all peoples of the Known World are of one flock. This belief forms the basis of their peaceful lifestyle. Priestesses of the Great Shepherd are called Godswifes, and outside of performing religious services, they also function as healers and midwifes.

## Cities

There are three cities within the realm of Lhazar, Hesh, Lhazosh and Kosrak.

* Hesh - Found northwest of Lhazosh and west of Kosrak. A trade route from Hesh extends through the Khyzai Pass to Meereen and served as a primary means of commerce, through which the Lhazareen sell wool, leather, meat and milk to the cities of Slaver's Bay. The city is surrounded by two walls of tall wooden palisades and a shallow ditch around the city.
* Lhazosh - Located southeast of Hesh and southwest of Kosrak, the city has a trade route southeast through the Red Waste to the cities of Qaggash and Ryllos. The city has one wall, but is also protected with a moat, the water rediverted from a nearby river, upon which the settlement is built.
* Kosrak -Built on a tributary of the Skahazadhan river, it is east of Hesh and northeast of Lhazosh. Like Lhazosh, trade routes into the great cities of the Red Waste sustain the city, linking the city to the settlements of Qarlal and Tamyayrana. Kosrak is the most established of the Lhazareen cities, surrounded by a low stone wall and a ditch filled with stakes. Trade with Meereen is achieved through river cogs travelling down to the Skahazadhan river and its estuary into Slaver's Bay.
House Karstark

**House Karstark of Karhold** is a noble house from Karhold in the north. They were founded as a cadet branch of their overlords, the Starks of Winterfell, and are among their principal bannermen. Their blazon is a white sunburst on black and their motto is "The Sun of Winter".

## History

The Karstarks descend from Karlon Stark, a younger son of Winterfell. Possibly around 700 BA, Karlon put down a rebel lord and was granted lands for his valor. The castle he built near the Grey Cliffs was named Karl's Hold, but that soon became Karhold, and over the centuries the Karhold Starks became Karstarks.

-Rodrik Wynch (30)

-Yara Wynch (29)

## Biography

Hrothgar Wynch was born the second son of Dagon Wynch and Asha Drumm, heir to Iron Holt. His father would have one more son and one more daughter after Hrothgar. Hrothgar wasn't like the rest of the boys that were raised in Iron Holt, there was something eerie about him ever since his birth. When he was a baby he refused to cry even when he fell over, his father said that it was from him being a strong child. Yet this behavior persisted more and more as he was growing up. Anyone who meet him went away with a strange feeling and described the young child as dour or morose. He rarely smiled and he rarely laugh yet still boys gathered around him. He was basically trained in the tradition Iron Islands fair, sailing and killing.

When Hrothgar was fifteen he went out on his first reaving near the narrow sea. The boat that he was apart of came across a large convoy lead by a huge flagship. The flagship spit two spitfire bolts at the ironborn ship killing the captain and the first mate. Hrothgar despite his age took immediate control, skillfully directing the ship past the flagship to hit the last cog in the convoy. They took the cog and its cargo before the escort ships could turn around and engage. Hrothgar would then make the ship his own calling it the Bloody Moon. He spent years leading the bloody moon on a huge reaving adventure becoming a feared reaver and sailor. A majority of his success came from his ability to out think and out sail any opponent.

Upon returning to Iron Holt Hrothgar's reputation had already proceeded him. More men and more ships would follow him on his raids, this time to the summer islands. He return in 292 AA with the news that his father and his brother had died in the battle of Fair Island. This made him Lord of Iron Holt by right. He fought in the war the Greyjoy waged fighting incredibly bravely defending Iron Holt from all comers while the siege of Pyke happened. He was also one of the men who voted Andrik Greyjoy king, he now is in Pyke to be in the council.

Koj

Koj is one of the fifteen islands that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.

## Description

Koj is a smaller island than Walano to the north, or Omboru and Jhala to the south, but no less important to the culture and people of the Summer Isles. The Summer Isles are famed for their Swan Ships, great seafaring vessels that ride the wind faster than any galley or warship from elsewhere in the Known World, and it is in the shipyards of Koj that the finest Swan Ships are constructed. Hewn from exotic woods native only to the Summer Isles themselves, the white-sailed vessels are an impressive sight as they cut through the waters of the Summer Sea.

Isle of Whips

The Isle of Whips is a small island found at the heart of the Jade Sea. It is not inhabited, beyond the small stations used by slavers to store their stock before sailing onwards on their journey.

## Geography

Located to the east of Great Moraq and northwest of Marahai, the Isle of Whips is isolated from the other nations and locations in the Jade Sea by leagues and leagues of water, and as such has not been colonised to any great level.

The island itself is largely barren, without any real plant or animal life, unlike many of the other islands found within the Jade Sea, and as such is incapable of sustaining settlements that would be heavily reliant on expensive imports from the surrounding nations of Yi Ti and Qarth.

Despite this, there is evidence that the island was once colonised, as on the northern coast a ruined city, its name long forgotten and rarely included on maps of the region, can be found.

Luwin Upcliff

Yrsa Upcliff, his Sister (22)

## Biography

Luwin Upcliff was the only son in a line of daughters born to Ulrick Upcliff and Bess Shett of Gulltown in 283AA. For years, Ulrick had been trying to have a son, bearing the same curse his father had before him. When Luwin was finally born, Ulrick ordered a celebration in Witch Isle, with sailing and the ringing of bells constant the entire day like the crash of a wave on the shore. Loved by his sisters and his mother as well, Ulrick’s first son was the prized jewel of Witch Isle.

From a very young age, Ulrick was eager to train his heir, but the House of Upcliff was no traditional house. For as long as they had held it in their possession, the Valyrian Steel trident Tidecaller was the heirloom and rite of every Lord and his sons, and the Upcliff Lord must understand the trident better than any weapon. From the time he could swing a sword, Ulrick brought him down to the beach at dawn every morning, the waves crashing against his waist as he trained with Tidecaller. The boy was a natural, like his father before him, and Ulrick was proud to have his son fit so well with the family’s legacy.

As he grew older, his lessons were more complicated. His father added different obstacles, made him practice on the wet stone rocks that lined the beach beneath their keep. Shields were another tool for the young heir to master, but before long a wave could crash into his defense, and Luwin would barely move an inch. He continued to impress his father, which was a good thing, as the man was old now, his wife long past her time of bearing children.

Luwin learned to fight men as well, and they would often be impressed with his skill with the trident, and his defence with the shield. The boy was outstanding, especially for his age, and most of the men believed he’d be leading their forces before his father Ulrick had laid to rest. Luwin found this exhilarating, and hoped to one day live up to his father and be the heir he was born to be. He had years left in his life, near countless, and he was determined to make the most of them, and bring honour to his family’s house.

House Royce

House Royce of Runestone is an old and powerful noble house of the Vale, sworn to House Arryn. Their seat is the castle Runestone, located on the coast of the narrow sea north of Gulltown. There is also cadet branch occupying the non-hereditary seat of the Gates of the Moon, located on the path that leads to the Eyrie.

The Royces of Runestone blazon their arms with black iron studs on bronze, bordered with runes, and their motto is "*We Remember*". The Royces are proud of their descent from the First Men. They have several sets of ancient bronze plate armor inscribed with runes that are thought to make their wearers immune to injury. The truth of this claim has been called into question, however, as quite a few Royces have died wearing them.

## History

### Bronze Kings

Calling themselves the Bronze Kings and wearing the Runic Crown, the Royce of Runestone were the most powerful First Men monarchs of the Vale in antiquity. Their rivals included House Shett of Gulltown, who carried the title King of the True Men and likewise claimed to date back ten thousand years to the Dawn Age.

After King Yorwyck VI Royce defeated the Shetts in several battles, King Osgood III Shett allied himself with Ser Gerold Grafton, an Andal warlord from Andalos across the narrow sea. Although they defeated the Bronze King, the death of Osgood in battle led House Grafton to claim Gulltown for themselves. Yorwyck later repelled several other Andal attacks.

### High King

The last of the Bronze Kings was Yorwyck's young grandson, Robar II, who came to the throne when Andal invaders had conquered three-quarters of the Vale. Robar gained the allegiance of surviving First Men houses, including Belmores, Coldwaters, Hunters, Redforts, and Upcliffs, and he was proclaimed High King of the Vale, the Fingers, and the Mountains of the Moon.

Robar led the First Men to several victories, but he was eventually defeated Ser Artys Arryn's Andals in the Battle of the Seven Stars. The surviving Royces bent the knee and swore fealty to House Arryn, the new Kings of Mountain and Vale.
House Estermont

**House Estermont of Greenstone** is a noble house from Greenstone in the Stormlands and is one of the principal houses sworn to House Durrandon of Storm's End. They rule the small island of Estermont east of Cape Wrath.

Their arms depict a dark green sea turtle on pale green.

## History

Lord Alan Estermont served as one of the five lords on the council during the regency of King Durran XXVII Durrandon.  The council ultimately dissolved in the aftermath of an accusation of treason against Lord Alan, stemming from House Penrose.  Lord Alan demanded a trial-by-combat and was victorious, securing his innocence.  Having lost his position on the council, House Estermont would find them faced with penalties due to their alleged crimes against the Stormlands.  In response, House Estermont marched to Storm's End alongside House Tarth demanding justice, and ending the second council of King Durran.  Lord Estermont would again find himself in a position on the council, but would pass away from an accident at sea a short time later.

Lady Cassana Estermont would wed King Maldon Durrandon.  They had one child from the union, King Monfryd VIII Durrandon, who some whispered was cursed.
House Qorgyle

**House Qorgyle of Sandstone** is a noble house from Sandstone in western Dorne. They are sworn to House Dayne of Starfall.

Their arms are three black scorpions over red.

## History

The Qorgyles were adventuring Andals who settled in the deep dunes and sands of Dorne.

During Nymeria's War the Qorgyles supported House Yronwood against House Nymeros Martell.
Lymond I Lannister

**Lymond I Lannister** was the King of the Kingdom of the Rock from 5AA to 7AA. An overly martial king that was called ‘the Crimson Knight’ due to his prowess. Promptly declared war against the Reach upon his coronation in order to claim Red Lake. Lost the first major battle of the war and was given crippling wound from the Knight of Flowers, Oswin Osgrey. King Gardener refused to give chase out of pity.

The King was reduced to a laughing stock for the rest of his short reign.
Lancel IV Lannister

Lorena Lannister

Huiji

Gold

Spices

Seafood

Wood

Huiji is a coastal city in the Golden Empire of Yi Ti in eastern Essos. It is the second largest city in the nation.

## Location and Geography

Huiji is located due north of the large isle of Leng, and east and west of the coastal cities of Yin and Jinqi respectively. The three great port cities of Yi Ti are connected via the Salt Road, which spans the entire of the south coast of the Golden Empire.

## Culture

Huiji is famed for its craft of fine silk and paper, and considered the home of modern writing and art. Many travelers from the city seek the familiar sights of the city in a district of Qarth known colloquially as West Huiji, for it resembles many similarities to the YiTish city itself.
Khamal

**Khamal** is a province located in central Leng.

## Geography

In the heart of the island of Leng, the province represents the border between two rival cultures, the region that was once influenced by Yi Ti and the southern region that belonged to its original people, the Lengii.

Despite hundreds of years after the end of Yi Tish colonization, there are still tensions in the region where the Lengii people protest their old lands back from northern and central people whom were descendent from the invaders.

Throughout the overgrown jungles in Khamal, they are ruins that were abandoned by the natives after the invaders conquered their island. The ruins were never brought back nor rebuilt and remained as a reminder of those who lost their land and their lives.

Makmol zo Ozoz

Makmol zo Ozoz was a Ghiscari sellsword and captain of the mercenary group the Bronze Circle, but was most famous for his membership to the organisation remembered infamously as the Band of Nine.

## History

Makmol zo Ozoz was born in the hill-town of Hazdahn Mo, a city besieged and subjugated by the Tagaez Fen of Sathar during much of Makmol’s young adulthood. Eager to prove himself, he left the city at the age of fourteen, before returning six years later with the joint Meereenese-Astapori army seeking the reclaim the city. Attracted north by rumoured sightings of a Dothraki khalasar, the Sarnori are nowhere to be found, and the city fell relatively bloodlessly. Makmol continued employment as a mercenary, despite the requests of his wealthy merchant father, eventually ending up with the Bronze Circle after the Battle of Qarlal in 249AA. Makmol ascended quickly through the ranks, elevated as much by his insatiable drive and motivation as his skill with sword and spear.

The Bronze Circle sellsword company had existed for near three centuries before they came to be commanded by the ambitious Makmol zo Ozoz, serving primarily in Ghiscari territories around the cities of Slaver’s Bay, and the settlements along the river Skahazadhan. Numbering nearly five thousand strong by 249AA, they had grown increasingly well-known with the passing of years, leading its Captains to demand extortionate prices in exchange for their services.

His ambitious drove him into the path of an individual known only as Mhysa, supposedly born in the ruined city of Bhorash on the northern coastline of the Gulf of Grief. She informed Makmol of a coalition of like-minded individuals meeting in Volantis.

The Bronze Circle was not involved in the attack on Achissa in the Disputed Lands, as they instead laid in wait further to the east, at the Orange Shore, hoping that the Lyseni army would rush to the rescue of the walled town. Once the attention of the Lyseni generals lay solely upon that of the Disputed Lands, the fleets of Salazor Saan and Mors Bone delivered the sellswords of the Bronze Circle and Mhysa’s Men into the city of Lys, allowing the Free City to be taken in a quick, unexpected strike.

After the city fell to the Band of Nine, Makmol zo Ozoz was made a Magister of Lys, and enjoyed the luxuries of such an occurrence for a few short moons in 260AA.

When the Tiger Triarch Haelor Staegone came to Lys with his army, it was the Bronze Circle that mounted a stout defence against the Volantenes. Along with nine in every ten of his men, Makmol was slain in the fighting, the fearsome captain supposedly crushed beneath a Volantene war-elephant. The Bronze Circle still exists to present day, continued by one of Makmol’s serjeants, but is a fraction of the company that it once was.
Loreon VI Lannister

**Loreon IV Lannister** was King of the Kingdom of the Rock from 94AA to 104AA. He was known as "The Lament" and was called such for the amount of wailing and dismay he brought upon the realm. A glutton, and an accomplished hedonist who took advantage of the practice of First Night whenever he heard of a marriage. Was killed after visiting a small village near the Crag and taking the Right of First Night with the newly married bride, and both of her virgin sisters. Was discovered the following morning with a dagger buried in his back. After the every villager in the town confessed to being the murderer, the matter was dropped and the murder remains unsolved to this day.
House Varner

**House Varner** **of Varner Keep** is a noble house sworn to House Gardener of Highgarden. Their lands are in the northern Kingdom of the Reach, to the north-west of Bitterbridge and House Caswell.

## History

House Varner traces their origin to the first Andal explorers to arrive in the Reach. They were given lands as part of the Gardener strategy to assimilate with the Andals rather than to fight them.
