Gods of the Kryn

The Kryn are a tribe of Free Folk beyond the Wall and have a wide pantheon in their mythology, folklore, and daily customs.

## The Old Gods

The Kryn see the Old Gods as a part of their religion though they are not the primary objects of worship. They are referred to as the spirits of the water, the forest, and the earth. Weirwood trees are sacrificed to, and the Godswood is an important hub of the religious life of the Kryn.

Greenseers and wargs aren't thought of as given gifts from the Old Gods but rather from more specific deities.

## The Gods of Death

The gods of death are not sacrificed to by common folk. Only warriors of great renown are allowed to sacrifice to them as they are believed to have a special bond through their survival of many battles and numerous taking of life. Their dominion is the most respected. They are also the only gods thought to not take human form and come down from their halls.

### Plyn

The first god of death was one by the name of Plyn. He came of nothing, and he is nothing, for his dominion is that of the void. The void is where things not of this world exist. It is a force of nature that can not be felt or experianced, yet it is eternally there. Plyn is the only god to not have an animal associated with him.

### Ynd

The god of death who's dominion is that experianced by the most people. He transports those who fall outside of battle, whether dying alone in the mountains or in your bed of a failed heart. His animal is

### Tryg

Tryg is the youngest god of death. He is great friends with Lor the god of war. His dominion is that of transporting those who fell in battle to the halls of the gods that they belong to.

## The Gods of War

The gods of war are few. There were once more, but they chose to rebel against the forebearers and were defeated causing them to fall into the void alongside the forebearers who also perished in this conflict.

### Syr

The first god of war, Syr has been the chief of his dominion since the forebearers were defeated. He was their best and most loved desiple, leading the other gods to present him with the leadership of his domain. His blessing is one that nearly all warriors pray for, and so he experiances many sacrifices to him. It was his wish that no human sacrifice be ever made to him and all fulfill his wish.

### Lor

The youngest god of war, being born after the defeat of the forebearers, Lor became very good friends with Tryg seeing as their dominions often overlap. He is placed in charge of blessing those who are struggling in the midst of battle.

They are probably the most powerful branch of House Flint. While the Flints of the mountains claim to be the oldest of the Flints, some say that the Flints of Widow's Watch are the senior branch of the extended Flint family, which includes the mountain Flints and House Flint of Flint's Finger.

Golden Company

The Third Targaryen Rebellion

The Golden Company were a company of sellswords founded by the Great Bastard, Aegor Rivers. They were considered the largest, most famous, and most expensive sellsword or mercenary company in the Free Cities. Despite the notorious unreliability of sellswords, the Golden Company were reputed to have never broken a contract. Their motto was "Our word is good as gold."

They have fought alongside House Targaryen for near a century in their battles to reclaim their rightful place upon the Iron Throne

## History

The Golden Company was founded by Aegor Rivers, called "Bittersteel", a legitimized bastard of King Aegon IV Targaryen, after he fled Westeros with the younger sons of Daemon I Blackfyre at the end of the First Blackfyre Rebellion. When Aegor saw all the exiled lords and knights signing on with other sellsword companies, such as the Ragged Standard or the Maiden's Men, and saw the support of House Blackfyre ebbing away, he created his own sellsword company. Since then they have fought mainly in the Disputed Lands.

The Golden Company's reputation was quickly established when Qohor refused to honor the contract it had made. The sellswords of the Golden Company sacked Qohor as an answer to Qohor's refusal.

The Golden Company is said to be made up of exiles and the sons of exiles. The Golden Company were once headed by Maelys the Monstrous, the last of the Blackfyre Pretenders. Daemon Blackfyre, a cousin to Maelys, fought him over command of the Golden Company. Maelys killed Daemon's by twisting his head until it was torn from his shoulders. During the War of the Ninepenny Kings Ser Barristan Selmy cut a bloody path though the Golden Company's ranks to slay Maelys the Monstrous in single combat.

Their war cry, "Beneath the gold, the bitter steel" pays homage to their founder.

## Culture

As the heirs of Bittersteel, discipline was like mother's milk to the men of the Golden Company. They were able to march quickly after a haphazard and disorganized landing without the chaos that would have inevitably delayed a hastily assembled host of household knights and local levies.

The high officers displayed a rude splendour. Like many in their trade they kept their worldly wealth upon their person: jewelled swords, inlaid armour, heavy torcs, and fine silks are very much in evidence.

The captain-general’s tent was made of cloth-of-gold and surrounded by a ring of pikes topped with gilded skulls.

## Recent History

The Golden Company has served House Targaryen in its exile since Aegon Targaryen married his aunt, Danaerys Targaryen, wedding their two claims into one, and has fought behind the House in its three attempts to take back the Iron Throne.
House Baelish

**House Baelish** is an exiled noble house, originally hailing from the Vale.

Descended from Petyr Baelish after his exile from the Seven Kingdoms following his actions in the Vale during the War of the Three Stags. The small house on the Fingers was disavowed and control given over to House Hunter of Longbow Hall. The house would continue through Petyr’s line and become steadfast allies of the Targaryens-in-exile, with Petyr and his son Hoster playing very important roles of advisors to the Targaryens. As of 398 AC, another Baelish sits as Hand of the King to Aelyx Targaryen in Slaver’s Bay.

## History

The house began with the great-grandfather of Petyr Baelish, who was born in Braavos and came to the Vale as a sellsword employed by House Corbray. His sontook the head of the Titan as his sigil when he was knighted. His arms were a grey stone head with fiery eyes on a light green field.

In 289 AC, Petyr Baelish was given a minor sinecure in customs by Lord Jon Arryn. There, Petyr distinguished himself, bringing in three times as much as any other collector. Petyr's rise to King's Landing was a swift one, and within three years after his arrival at court, he sat on the small council of King Robert I Baratheon.
Alerie Tyrell

## Scion of House Tyrell

Alerie is the Gawen Tyrell's oldest daughter, and is only one year older than her sister, Rohanne. Her mother was Rhea Fossoway.

## Appearance

Alerie has deep brown hair and hazel eyes. Like her younger sister and mother, she is considered a great beauty in the Reach. She favors clothing of darker colors, mainly deep green, navy blue, and even black or grey.

## Personality

Conservative and reserved, Alerie is quiet and keeps to herself. She and her sister Rohanne are not close due to her sister's one-sided jealousy, but Alerie is civil regardless. She is close to her half-brother Darrin and her stepmother Alysanne Crane.

Close friends and family would describe her as mild mannered, caring, and thoughtful. She is also deeply protective of her family members, and is a dutiful young woman.

## History

Though Alerie was only a child when her mother died, she felt Rhea's absence all her life. She took to her stepmother when her father remarried, but has always felt out of place in Highgarden. Her sister's jealous nature has also pushed her away. It is for this reason that she went to King's Landing in 395 to become a lady-in-waiting for Princess-consort Shiera Baratheon.

Alerie is a beautiful young woman, but she is not vain, and does not put emphasis on trivial things. She is focused and serious on forging ties and finding a place for herself.

She was engaged to Roger Manderly in the late months of 397 AC.
Battle of Last Ridge

### Outcome

Start of the demise of Maekar Targaryen and his army, concluded during The Harrying of the Dragonspawn

Following on from the Folly of the White Cloak, and the death of Lord Commander Garlan Hightower, Beron Baratheon, present within King's Landing at the time, took over command.

Lord Commander Hightower had made a mad dash out of the city and got himself surrounded, and there was a tumultuous wail that came up from the city. Except from Beron Baratheon however. Instead of despairing at the loss of the Lord Commander, he rallied the men he had brought with him, along with any man not foolish enough to follow Hightower out into the field, including the Knights of the Iron Order and the remaining Kingsguard, Lords Massey and Stokeworth and their remaining men, and led them in a desperate rescue. They charged out of the city and eventually joined up with what little remained of Hightower’s force that had not been surrounded, whom had defaulted to the command of Lord Jorvan Hayford, assisted by Prince Stannis Baratheon. They were pressed back to back, and were slowly pushed back towards the city. Beron knew that unless he acted fast, he and the rest of the men outside the city would be killed underneath its walls and the city would fall soon after. “Men!” he bellowed “You are soldiers of Westeros! No matter what they throw at us we will stand our ground! Look at me Dragon! This is the last fucking ridge you take today! This is the last ridge you take in your fucking life!” and they did hold their ground, forming a shield wall in an effort to stem the tide of the Dragon. They would hold their ground but the perimeter was getting smaller and more and more men were dying. As he looked up, bloody and bruised, Beron let out a frustrated yell of despair.

But as yelled, he was cut off by the sound of a horn blowing from the south. In charged Alyn Baratheon with his knights into the rear of the Targaryen host. Beron pivoted his force to meet his Stormlands cousin, and between the two of them, they completely wiped out a whole wing of Maekar’s army.  Unlike King Maekar Targaryen, this Maekar realized until too late that the song of the Hammer and the Anvil had truth behind it.  The battle was still undecided however. Maekar was a cunning commander, and victory would not be snatched so easily from him. His forces were battle hardened from Essos and from his campaign in the Reach. And while Alyn and Beron’s forces fought like hell for their homeland, they were slowly losing against a better army.

Losing that is, until more reinforcements arrived. While Royce had been causing havoc for Aelyx in the Riverlands, Lord Lyonel Lannister used the distraction to march his troops through the Southern Westerlands, around the God’s Eye, and right behind Maekar Targaryen’s forces. Surrounding him on all sides.
House Cerwyn

## House Cerywn

**House Cerwyn of Cerwyn** is a noble house from the north. They are one of the closest bannermen to the Starks, Castle Cerwyn being just a half day's ride from Winterfell, and are among the most powerful as well.

Their blazon is a black battle-axe on silver. Their words are, 'Honed and Ready'

The current Lord of house Cerwyn is Lord Robb Cerwyn, a cautious man known for his words more than for action. His family has known much turmoil; his elder sisters either ran away or married off to get away from him. More recently, his eldest son Eddard Cerwyn died young, apparently of stress. More likely he was crushed by Lord Cerwyn's overbearing manner, for whilst not so couragious in battle he has no fear in bossing around his family.

The new heir is young Kyle Cerwyn, a known bookwyrm though he is no stranger to the Cerwyn battle axe. And unlike his father, he has no fear of fighting although he opposes war. The upcoming battles will shake his faith to the core.

## History

There is a lingering enmity between the Company of the Cat and the Windblown, since they fought on opposite sides in the Disputed Lands in the final years of the second century since the conquest of Aegon I. As a result, when both companies were drafted by Aelyx Targaryen during the Third Targaryen Rebellion, the Company of the Cat followed Aelyx, whereas the Windblown followed his brother Maekar, thus separating the rival companies.

While his brother Maron was more of a fighter, Harras was more interested in stories and the lore of the world. As their lord father had sailed off in the Sunset Migration, Harras was unhindered in his thirst for knowledge.

Harras joined the Firetenders on his fifteenth birthday, swearing away his claim to the Lonely Light unless all of his kin had passed. While Harras eventually married, his children were not born with the Farwynd name, instead favouring Firewynd as recognition of their father's choices.

Desmond Osgrey

## Timeline

Desmond was born the second son of Ser Leo Osgrey and Lady Mina nee Webber. While House Osgrey once considered themselves the mightiest Lords of the turbulent Northern Marches, the ravages of time and political machinations had reduced them to among the pettiest of Landed Knights, with the ancient holdfast of Coldmoat a mocking remainder of past glories as it can barely be sustained with the few acres of land they now owned.

While Desmond did not grow up as particularly ambitious, the tales of splendor of wealth of the past could enchant any young boy, thus he took well to his studies of warfare and fighting in hopes of one day leading his family to regain their fortune and glory. As he grew up into a lean young man, he became noted for his *Martially Adept* skills with blade and his *Leadership* of men.

His father however, became a cold and grave man after witnessing the horrors of the Great Schism which he participated in with Coldmoat's meager levies. Father and son quarreled, and the two became estranged.

He and his brother, against his father's wishes, led Coldmoat's levies in the Battle of Ashford where they both arrogantly charged themselves along with the rest of the Reach cavalry into the Targaryen line out of a thirst for glory. His brother received a crossbow bolt through the visor, while Desmond's courser was skewered through the throat by a Unsullied Pike, causing the young Osgrey to tumble off it onto the blood soaked soil, where he was trampled into unconscious and a shattered arm by Targaryen soldiers.

Desmond was taken captive by a few sellswords in the service of Maekar and held with the other captives until the end of the war. To Desmond's great surprise and chagrin, his father refused the ransom out of spite and thus the heir to Coldsmoat was taken across the Narrow Sea with the Golden Company as a prisoner and potenial slave chattel.

Eventually he managed to bluff his way out of captivity when he convinced a lackwit gaoler that he was the heir to a infinitely wealthy Westeroi family that would easily set him up for life if freed. Still bitter over his father's betrayal, Desmond took a mule to Braavos where he took up the art of *Waterdancing,* becoming rather adept in it's usage despite his disability.

Eventually leaving Braavos, Desmond traveled the length and bead of Essos for seven years before finally returning to Coldmoat to confront his father, only to find him dead a year prior and a wizened Castellan in his place desperately searching for the nearest blood relative to inherit the castle.

Once his identity was verified, the lost son of Osgrey took his birthright at Coldmoat. Though long years in the east had made him tempered and imbibed him with a newfound lust for power..

Alaric I Baratheon

## Lord of the Seven Kingdoms

**Alaric I Baratheon** was the King of Westeros and the head of House Baratheon of King's Landing from 369 AC until 390 AC.

Alaric was held to high standards as a lad. But the success of the father made him prideful. His reign was marked with instability as many of the regions had brewing conflict. A religious conflict erupted during his rule, nearly ending a schism.

## Death

During the Third Targaryen Rebellion, King Alaric Baratheon rallied the Northern Crownlands and marched north to meet the enemy threat. At the same time. Lord Frey, wishing to have a different legacy than his infamous ancestor, gathered all of his available levies and the levies of the houses sworn to him and marched south at a blistering speed to Darry.

Aelyx took the Northern Crownlands and spent a few days consolidating his power before turning his gaze westward towards Harrenhal and the Riverlands at large. Hearing about the large royal army, rumoured to be lead by the King himself massing at Darry, Aelyx saw it as an opportunity to win the war before it even began. Waltyr Tully and Robin Royce severely admonished Lord Frey, and cautioned him to take a more measured approach. Lord Frey promptly threw said caution to the wind.

Aelyx set a cunning trap for the combined Royal Baratheon-Frey army. Taking advantage of Darry’s record breaking wheat harvest, he set the crops in massive piles all over the fields and began to wait. When the Royal forces arrive, Aelyx took flight on his dragon and set the fields ablaze for miles and miles. In the confusion, many died of smoke inhalation, while those who flee were cut down by Aelyx’s light cavalry. King Alaric the Arrogant tried to lead a desperate sortie, but meets his end at the gaping maw of a hungry dragon. Viserion locked its jaws around the torso of the King, tearing the Baratheon in half.

It is said that his steed rode on, its master's legs still firmly locked around the saddle upon its back, before succumbing to the smoke itself.
Galbart Glover

## Master of Deepwood Motte

Galbart Glover is the Master of Deepwood Motte and sworn sword to Lord Corin Stark

## Appearance and Character

Galbart is tall and strong, though he isn't an ugly man, he is by no means a handsome man either. He can most often be seen with a smile on his face. Not a smart man, Galbart chose to train in the yard rather than read books and learn his history, unless it pertained to wars. Galbart has green eyes and dark brown hair.

## Biography

Galbart Glover was born in 380 AC to Benfred Glover and Danelle Tallhart. He was the first of three children the couple would have, the second and third being a twin sisters, Gwyn and Jeyne born only a year after Galbart. The marriage of Benfred and Danelle would provide no more children after the birth of their daughters despite attempts made by both partners to improve their chance at birthing another child. Exactly what prevented the coupld from having any more children was never discovered, and sadly in the year 390 AC, war  was declared and Benfred would march south with the Frostborn. Benfred never returned from the war and Galbart was named Master of Deepwood Motte at the age of ten.

Galbart was never a boy to care too much for his academic lessons, much preferring to train in the yard with his sword and shield working with both weapons as if they were extensions of his body and as a result of his training, Galbart would grow strong.

The maester would make repeated attempts to teach Galbart, but the only lessons he cared about were the ones revolving around war. Due to Galbart's indifference to his other lessons, he can never be proclaimed an intelligent man unless it comes to battle.

Growing up without a father left Galbart much to his own devices, much to the dismay of his mother who had tried in vain to find Galbart a good match for a wife. Instead, he chose to drink, whore and fight with his friends.

Now, Galbart is preparing to leave Karhold after the feast that took place there, with Winterfell in mind as his next destination.

\*"I was sober for eleven years."

*"Then what happened?"*

*"Turned twelve."*

-Galbart Glover, 392 AC

Amarei Lannister

## Lady of Casterly Rock

Lancel Lannister

Myrielle Lannister

Amarei is the firstborn daughter of Lord Lorent Tyrell and Gladys Oakheart, the younger sister of Gawen Tyrell, and twin of Alicent Tyrell. She was married to Lord Lyonel Lannister in 380 in a marriage arranged at the end of the Great Schism that was intended to end fighting between the great houses Lannister and Tyrell.

## Appearance

Amarei has her mother's likeness, with her wavy brown hair and blue eyes. She is petite and slender. She is considered beautiful by most, but it is not her defining quality.

## Personality

On the surface, Amarei has a charismatic and engaging personality. She enjoys the company of others, and shines in the spotlight. But she is manipulative and controlling at heart from a life of power. She expects to be pampered and cared for, and feels slighted when ignored. She is jealous, possessive, vindictive, and selfish.

## History

Amarei spent her early life moving between King's Landing and Highgarden, but relocated to Casterly Rock at fourteen to marry Lord Lyonel Lannister, a man she hates for various reasons. Firstly, for the fact that Lyonel killed her cousin Loras Tyrell at the Battle of Red Lake. Secondly, for his self important and arrogant nature. Finally, for his dismissive and callous treatment towards her.

The marriage was one of several terms set by her father when he became Lord of Highgarden to end the conflict between Houses Lannister and Tyrell, but the marriage has been unhappy for both Lyonel and Amarei and has only served to deepen resentment, as Amarei has kept her brother Gawen Tyrell, the heir of Highgarden, aware of her situation.

Regardless of her personal feelings, she did her duty as his wife. She forged and strengthened ties in the Westerlands, helped manage his House, and had his children, the oldest of them Tygett Lannister, followed by Tyra, Lancel, and Myrielle. Having done her duty, she is no longer content to sit idly by and endure her present life.

When his father returned home in 377 AC he took note that Auron had proficient skill in swinging the hammer and shifted his training from swords to blunt weapons. In the following years he would spend time perfecting his blunt weapon proficiency and spending time in the wilds of his lands. He grew his hair long and wore it like lion wears a mane.

In 385 AC Auron's uncle Quentin Vyrwell Lord of Darkdell died with no male heir. Auron's father inherited the Lordship upon Quentin's death.

In 390 AC at the age of 22 his father and him lead levies into battle against the Targaryen Rebellion. Later in the year he was given more command over the armies after showing promise with his leadership abilities.

Auron was tasked with defending land along the shore of the Cockleswhent, during battle he lost his wyvern helm while fighting. A Targaryen supporter grabbed a handful of hair and attempted to slit Auron's throat. Fortunately the attacker lost footing on the blood soaked ground and stumbled unable to complete his task. Auron was able to turn to the attacker and slay him in combat with his dual hammers. From then on he shaved his head bald and grew a thick beard to protect from such an attack in the future.

During one of the final battles Lord Mace was maimed, when his horse fell atop him and crushed his right leg.

In 392 AC Auron was married to Alayne Caswell. In 394 AC the couple gave birth to twin boys, Mace and Mathis. In 395 they welcomed another child into the world, Aria Vyrwel, just a few months before Lord Mace passed away from illness.

In 398 he left to Kings Landing to meet with Lord Paramount Tyrell with the coronation of the new Baratheon king.

House Florent

**House Florent of Brightwater Keep** are principal bannermen to House Tyrell, being Lords of the Brightwater. One of the most influential Houses of the Reach, they share blood ties with the Tyrells. The Florents are the liege lords of Houses Middlebury and Blackbar, controlling most of the fertile Honeywine River.

## History

### Kingdom of the Reach

According to legend, the Florents, the Balls, and the Peakes descend from the three husbands of Florys the Fox.

The Florents, like the Tyrells, claim descent from the extinct House Gardener, the defunct Kings of the Reach. The Florents have a superior line of descent, and believe that they by rights should possess Highgarden.[6]

### Targaryen Era

Three years before the start of the tourney at Ashford Meadow, Ser Arlan and Dunk (later known as Ser Duncan the Tall) were in service to Lord Florent, who was blind. The Florent arms were spotted by Dunk in the assembled heraldry at the tourney. Ser Aladore Florent and Ser Jon Florent were listed on the rolls. According to Ser Eustace Osgrey, maids of House Osgrey used to marry members of House Florent.
Dragonstone

### Vassals

The Velaryons of Driftmark, Celtigars of Claw Isle, Bar Emmons of Sharp Point, and Sunglasses of Sweetport Sound.

### Founded

500 years ago, by the Valyrians

**Dragonstone** is the name of the island located at the entrance to Blackwater Bay and the castle thereon, which was shaped from stone to look like dragons. Dragonstone was the original seat of House Targaryen in Westeros, which had been colonized and fortified as the westernmost outpost of the Valyrian Freehold.

After the Targaryen conquest of the Seven Kingdoms, the island in the newly created crownlands served as the seat of their heir apparent, known as the Prince of Dragonstone. After Robert Baratheon overthrew the Targaryens, he gave the island to his brother Stannis, creating House Baratheon of Dragonstone.
City Watch of King's Landing

### Equipment

Woollen cloaks, dyed gold, black mail armor, boots and gloves. Armed with iron caglets, spears, dirks, occassionally longswords.

## Commanders

### Current Commander

Aeryn Celtigar

**The City Watch of King's Landing**, also called the **Goldcloaks** is the guard force made up of semi-trained men-at-arms that protect and police the city of King's Landing. Traditionally headed by the Master of Laws and led by a Lord Commander. The Goldcloaks, as they are still called, boast nearly two thousand men in King's Landing, ready to protect the city in its time of need.

## History

Though not as well trained as the City Watch of Lannisport, the Goldcloaks have a proud and long tradition. Founded by the Targaryens but truly established by Daemon Targaryen in 104-105 AC, the City Watch has thwarted countless riots, fires, burglary, and smuggler rings. During the infamous Dance of Dragons, the large majority of the Gold Cloaks supported the blacks, and prior to the War of the Three Stags they, along with Lord Petyr Baelish, assisted in the apprehension of the traitor Eddard Stark.

More recently, after the victory of Orys Baratheon in The Great Council of 398 AC, Aeryn Celtigar, the Regent of Claw Isle and the Commander of Lord Lorent Tyrell's Greencloaks, was made commander by the newly-victorious King. Upon assuming the office, Celtigar fired a quarter of the force, disproportionately affecting the officer corps. Though most were known for disloyalty, incompetence, or corruption, a few were staunch supporters of Beron Baratheon, leading some to believe that the purge was political in nature.
Aedan Blackwood

## (former) Lord of Raventree Hall

Father of Garrett Blackwood and former lord of Raventree Hall. Aedan was a strong leader and well respected knight who served his liege and king faithfully.

## History

Aedan was the eldest son of Allister Blackwood. As such, he was raised and educated in all the lordly curriculum and pursuits, and proved himself an adept student. He and his younger brother Gwayne took delight in martial training, and as young lads became squires. Aedan received his knighthood at 17 year old, and he proved worthy of the calling.

When he was 24, he was married to Myla Vance of Atranta. However, he was an impulsive young man, and early in his marriage, he fathered a bastard son with an inn maid in Fairmarket. Though it would put a strain between Myla and himself for many years, Aedan eventually turned into a loyal husband and father. His children were very fond of him, and he them.

When a young man named Garrett came to Raventree Hall in 385 AC, claiming to be his son, Aedan believed the lad and took him into his household. Aedan tried to make up for all the years his new son had been without a father, and the two became close.

When war with the Targaryens broke out in 390 AC, Aedan was among the few Riverlords who did not revolt or speak out against Waltyr Tully. Instead, he chose to support the more militant Riverlords in secret. He and his trueborn children remained at Raventree Hall and offered token fealty to the Dragon, Aelyx Targaryen, but in secret the Blackwood lord sent Garrett with two thousand levies to fight with the Riverlands Liberation Front. He continued to send information and aid whenever he could safely get away with it.

Eventually, his deception was discovered as he was found passing information to a spy of the Liberation Front. Aelyx Targaryen had Aedan and the spy tortured for the Front's whereabouts, but neither yielded. Finally, the Dragon King had Aedan put to death for his actions, along with his eldest trueborn children, Edmund and Amelia.
Asshai

**Asshai** is a mysterious port city located in the far south-east of Essos, where the Ash river meets the Jade Sea at its eastern exit, the Saffron Straits. Asshai is on the southernmost edge of a mountainous peninsula known as the Shadow Lands, thus the city is often called **Asshai by the Shadow** or **Asshai-by-the-Shadow**. To go to Asshai can be described as to "pass beneath the shadow", and the area of the Shadow Lands and Asshai are sometimes referred to simply as **the Shadow**.

Aside from traders, few from Westeros visit Asshai and little is known about it. The famous scribe and traveler Lomas Longstrider never visited Asshai, though he apparently heard from merchants in Yi Ti who did trade with Asshai that the vast gold of Casterly Rock was famous even there.

All foodstuff and freshwater is brought in by ship, as animals brought into the city soon die, and the waters of the Ash glisten black beneath the noonday sun and glimmer with green phosphorescence by night. The only fish that dwell in its water are blind and deformed, with only fools and shadowbinders daring to eat of their flesh. Ghost grass is known to grow in abundance in the lands surrounding Asshai.

Asshai and its few people have an ominous reputation in other lands. Asshai'i are described as having a dark and solemn appearance. The Dothraki believe that Asshai'i are "spawn of shadows" and hold them in contempt and fear.

Asshai holds a significant amount of arcane knowledge. Of any current location, it is the most likely to have dragonlore. Ancient books of Asshai also record the Azor Ahai prophecy followed by members of the faith of the Lord of Light.

It is rumored that shadowbinders, spellsingers, aeromancers, pyromancers, necromancers, warlocks, and mages of all manner practice their arts openly in Asshai, and that the city is open to all sorts of practitioners of the "higher mysteries", as well as torturers and poisoners, and even worshippers of the Black Goat and Bakkalon and the Lion of Night. It is said that no practice is forbidden in the city, however depraved.

There are no children in Asshai. All who dwell there wear masks or veils, and often walk alone or ride in palanquins of ebony and iron, hidden behind dark curtains and carried upon the backs of slaves. Only the shadowbinders of Asshai dare to travel upriver, and even they fear to tread before the doors of the Stygai, the Corpse City...
House Dayne

**House Dayne of Starfall** is a noble house from Starfall in Dorne. They are among the principal houses sworn to House Martell.

The Sword of the Morning is a title given to a Dayne knight who is considered worthy of wielding the greatsword Dawn, a blade said to be created from the heart of falling star.

Their sigil is a sword and a falling star on a lavender background. A cadet branch of the family are the Daynes of High Hermitage.

The current Lord of Starfall is Duncan Dayne.

## Appearance

The Daynes, who originate in the western Red Mountains, would be considered "stony" Dornishmen by Daeron II Targaryen. They have fair skin, unlike fellow countrymen more influenced by the Rhoynar. Their hair has been described as pale blond , dark , and silver with a streak of black. Daynes have been observed with dark blue or purple eyes.

## Starfall

The Dayne's ancestral seat of Starfall is located in the western Red Mountains on an island in the Torrentine where it pours into the Summer Sea. Starfall, which includes a tower called the Palestone Sword, guards the western arm of Dorne. Northeast of Starfall is High Hermitage, the seat of a Dayne cadet branch. According to legend, Starfall was built where the first Dayne found a magic stone after he followed the path of a shooting star. The Daynes grew in power to become the Kings of the Torrentine and one of the strongest houses of Dorne.
Eyrie

**The Eyrie** is a castle in the Vale of Arryn, and the seat of House Arryn. Located in the Mountains of the Moon, at the peak of the Giant's Lance, the Eyrie looks out over the vale proper, and over the Gates of the Moon. Though small, the Eyrie is considered impregnable to attack. During the winter years, the Arryns descend the mountain and take up their seat in the Gates of the Moon.

## History

It is said that Artys I Arryn, the first King of Mountain and Vale, constructed the Gates of the Moon after defeating the First Men in the Vale, thousands of years ago. His grandson, Roland I Arryn, saw the Gates as inferior to other great seats of Westeros, and so began construction of the Eyrie.

The construction took generations, and the marble used was imported all the way from Tarth. Eventually, the castle was completed, and henceforth it would serve as the seat of House Arryn, only being vacated during the winter months in favor of the Gates of the Moon at the base of the mountain.

The Arryns ruled from the Eyrie for thousands of years, untouched in their perch by any and all who would seek to cause them harm. During the War of Conquest however, while the armies of the Vale blocked the mountain paths, Visenya Targaryen rode Vhagar directly into the inner courtyard of the Eyrie. The boy king Ronnel knelt to the dragons, and was allowed to keep his seat as Lord of the Eyrie.

When King Aerys II called for the heads of Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, their guardian Jon Arryn refused the King's demand, beginning the war that would eventually become the War of the Usurper. After the defeat of the Targaryens, Jon Arryn became Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon, serving in the position for 14 years, before his eventual murder at the hands of the Lannisters.
Gladys Oakheart

## Gladys Tyrell

Alicent Tyrell

Gladys Oakheart is the older sister of Princess-consort Lyra Oakheart, and the first wife of Lord Lorent Tyrell. The two were betrothed shortly after Lorent was born in 341, but met for the first time in 348 in Highgarden during a feast. Lorent was eight at the time, and Gladys ten. He was quiet and withdrawn, and she asked him to dance, only to be turned down.

## Appearance

She was petite, brown haired, and blue eyed. Her hair was wavy, sometimes curly.

## Personality

Gladys was a kind and sweet person, easy to smile, and prone to bouts of laughter. She is remembered as charismatic and clever by friends and family, chief among them her true love, Lorent Tyrell.

## History

Gladys was married to Lorent in 360, though she moved to Highgarden in 350 as a lady-in-waiting to Lorent's younger sister, Delena Tyrell. Lorent and Gladys had a distant relationship at first, with her initiating conversations and him rebuking for various reasons. By 351, however, following the death of Lorent's brother Olyvar Tyrell, Lorent warmed up to her and the two became friends. The friendship was casual for several years, but became more in 357 when Lorent decided to actively court her.

The two were married in a small but private ceremony in 360. She gave birth to Gawen Tyrell in 364, and then to twins Amarei and Alicent Tyrell in 366. Shortly after, she died of child bed fever.
Harrenhal

**Harrenhal**, the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms, is the seat of House Royce of Harrenhal in the Riverlands, on the north shore of the Gods Eye lake. Since its burning by dragonfire in the War of Conquest, however, it has become a dark and ruinous place.

The castle's holdings are some of the richest in Westeros, claiming vast tracts of green fertile land which reach as far as the hills of House Wode near the crownlands. Harrentown is found near Harrenhal.

## The Castle

The castle has five towers of dizzying size, with equally monstrous curtain walls. The walls are incredibly thick and its rooms are built on a scale that would be more comfortable for giants than humans.

Harrenhal covers three times as much ground as Winterfell and its buildings are so much larger that they can scarcely be compared. Its stables can house a thousand horses, its godswood covers twenty acres, and its kitchens are as large as Winterfell's Great Hall.

However, much of Harrenhal has far gone into decay. The Whents used only the lower thirds of two of the five towers, letting the rest go to ruin, and many places in the castle have not been entered in decades. Bats infest the tops of some of the towers.
