King's Landing

King's Landing is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, located in the crownlands on the east coast of Westeros. It is situated along the kingsroad at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush and overlooks Blackwater Bay. King's Landing is the site of the Iron Throne and the Red Keep, which is the seat of the king, Jaehaerys II from House Targaryen of King's Landing.

## History

Originally founded during the rule of King Aegon I, the city of King's Landing has been the seat of the royal family of House Targaryen since the days of the Conquest. Overlooking Blackwater Bay and dominating trade in the region, it swiftly grew from its humble origins thanks to careful stewardship and the river of gold that poured in from across the continent and the Narrow Sea.

Though wars and conflicts have often ravaged the city and her borders, it remains the largest in Westeros, dwarfing even the ancient settlement of Oldtown. Now the seat of the Faith as well, the future of the city looks bright indeed, under the rule of the newly crowned King, Jaehaerys Targaryen.

## Recent Events

In 193AC, the construction of the Great Sept of Baelor was at last completed. The enormous construction cost the crown thousands of dragons, but in the end the splendid feat of human ingenuity crowns the summit of Visenya's Hill. A grand tournament was held to celebrate the unveiling.

In 201AC, King Daeron I Targaryen breathed his last within the Red Keep.

Lys

The Perfumed Sister

**Lys** is one of the nine Free Cities of Essos. It is a small city clinging to rocks surrounded by stormy seas.The city lies off the coast of the Disputed Lands, to the southeast of Tyrosh and to the west of Volantis.

A mercantile city, Lys is built on a fertile island considered a paradise by Valyrian dragonlords. The sunny island is fertile with palm and fruit trees, and the surrounding blue-green waters are filled with fish.

Lys is protected by high walls and hired sellswords.
 A city dominated by wealth rather than by birth, Lys is where trade is
considered a profession more honorable than arms. Lys is ruled by
conclaves of magisters, chosen from amongst the wealthiest and noblest men of the city. Slaves in Lys outnumber free men three to one.

Lys is a port city with no established faith. Temples and shrines to
many different gods can be found in the streets and waterfronts of the city, including a temple of R'hllor.

Even the smallfolk in Lys have the coloring of the dragonlords of old: pale skin, silver-gold hair, and purple, lilac, and pale blue eyes. Many of the nobility in Lys have produced infamous beauties, and Targaryen kings and princes are known to have looked at Lys for wives and paramours.

The people of Lys are know to curl and perfume their hair. The Lysene tongue is a corruption of High Valyrian.

 the freeborn three to one. Lys is most famous for their bed-slaves, and
 Lyseni are known to be famously voracious in their search for comely
young boys and fair maids with their pillow houses.
 Lys is also known for the breeding of slaves, mating beauty with
beauty, hoping to produce the most lovely courtesans and bedslaves.Aptly, many Lyseni worship a love goddess whose naked, wanton figure graces their coinage.
Lysene coins are oval in shape and have a naked woman stamped on them, the native love goddess of Lys.

The Lyseni make fine wines and tapestries, the alchemists of Lys are known to make poisons, including the strangler, and the tears of Lys. The Lyseni are known for their perfumes as well.

Valena Yronwood

**Valena Yronwood** is a scion of House Yronwood. She was previously married to Edgar Blackmont until the time of his death.

## Appearance

Valena
is the perfect avatar for any goddess of fertility, she has a full and voluptuous
figure. She has dark brown hair that was inherited from her mother’s Sandy
Dornish appearance, Valena has rich earthy brown eyes and full silken pillowy
lips. She stands at five foot and eight inches and prefers to dress in form
fitting Dornish Dresses that accentuate her womanly curves.

## Edgar's unfortunate event

Her first marriage was arranged by her father to a cousin
from the main branch of House Blackmont. His name was Edgar Blackmont, or as he
was often called Edgar the sweet. The boy was younger than Valena and eager to
please, he knew the marriage meant a great deal to the families, it would offer
a unique alliance between the northern Dornish houses for the foreseeable
future.  After the wedding between Edgar
and Valena, it appeared to be fine on the surface though Valena had already
grown bored with her young husband. He was sweet, undoubtedly but he wasn’t
exciting, he was not a Knight though she assumed to have him knighted someday,
she asked that he prove his love and his bravery to her.

The Dragonhunt had ended in AC 197 and in 199 Valena asked for her new husband to show how brave
and capable he was. To demonstrate his love and devotion to her, she asked him
to slay the beast. She hired “dragon-slayers” a band of ten sellswords who were
in village of Yronwood to accompany Edgar into the Red Mountain to slay the
beast. He did of course make it to the massive black dragon, he never landed a
single blow on the monster however. He ended up a quick meal for Cannibal, the
dragon feasted on the other dragon-slayers, save one. That one man made his way
back to Yronwood and explained with great deal the horrendous event he had
witnessed. Valena would mourn her husband for a mere two weeks after his death,
she would return to wearing vibrant colors, being quoted as saying “Black isn’t
my color.” When asked why.

## Family

Valena loves her Knightly
cousinJon, she even loves his companion Bran and goes out of her way to
shelter their relationship from any that may seek to harm them. She knows that
if there is ever northern influence in Dorne that the young love of Jon and
Bran could be treated more harshly so it is even more imperative that she
defends Yronwood from invasion of those who would seek to destroy.

## Biography

### In the Reign of Daeron II

Godfry Florent was born in Brightwater Keep in 142, the third son of a third son. When he turned thirteen, he was already pragmatic enough to realise that he wouldn't have anything from life in his position. Too cowardly to become a knight or take the black, too proud to serve as a Maester, he chose the Faith. In 168, thanks to his family's wealth and influence, he becomes Septon Leogrand's assistant in the Starry Sept. He grooms him to succede him one day, making him an adept engineer, and orator. In 173 Septon Godfry leads the restoration of the Starry Sept, and ten years later he succeeds Leogrand as Septon of the Starry Sept, a position he holds for only three years before being chosen as a member of the Most Devout, the council of the seven holiest and most high-ranking members of the Faith. During his period as a member of the Conclave, he is one of the most strenuous supporters of the law to tax worshippers of other faiths more heavily for the building of the Great Sept, not for religious conviction, but because he saw the importance of a new symbol for the faith. In 197 The High Septon dies, and the conclave chooses Septon Vardys, a venerable man of ninety, to follow him. When he is chosen, instead of pronouncing the formula to accept his position, he dies. The Council is thus persuaded to elect a younger member for the sake of stability. Godfry, fifty-five at the time, is chosen.

### The Reign of Jaehaerys

During the feast preceding the coronation of Jaehaerys II, the High Septon tries to influence the King to chose his competent and devout uncle, Lord Aerion Sunglass, as his hand, hoping to exploit him. The king visibly doesn't trust The High septon's counsel so he soon speaks with Prince Baelon the king's devout, younger brother, bringing him on his side.

A few days later, Godfry holds a speech in the sept choosing his words carefully. He stresses the inferiority of secular power over temporal one and how even Kings must bow to the Gods.

The Most Devout convene in the Sept to discuss the impending coronation. The High Septon is worried about the New King's behaviour and apparent lack of devotion to the Faith.

## Quotes

*Long live Jaehaerys, second of his name. And may he be as malleable as his grandfather.*

-The High Septon, Heading to the Feast.

"This city is chaotic enough *without* infidels and apostates roaming aroung, spouting their heresies and undermining the gods." *And, by extension, me.*

-The High Septon to Lord Aerion Sunglass

*A High Septon without his crown might as well call himself "Pate the pig-farmer".*

His craft had been honed by countless pirate attacks and lazy afternoons practicing on the deck of the Swanship. He was also adept in the skills of a sailor at port. He knew a hundred people at every dock in the world and would speak with them as if they were childhood friends. And when they played at dice he would win more often than not, usually on account of a quick eye and quicker hand rather than any luck.
* **193AC**: Talxaq had everything he could wish out of life except for one thing: a wife. True, in the manner of his people he had a place to dock his ship every night but no one to he would spend the rest of his life with.

Marooned at the first port the swanship called at Talxaq was left alone in a strange land, Westeros.
* **197AC**: Using his contacts in Oldtown Talxaq set himself up as a wandering tourney archer, becoming mildly famous and rich to boot. Though it was inglorious work it was nothing to turn his nose up at. Finally though a chance at something greater came.

Storm Towers

With his father newly entombed, and more than dissatisfied with, yet beholden to, the crown’s retreat from Dorne, Lord Robar of Storm’s End began to draft his plans for watchtower beacons along the borderlands. The Marcher lords, he strongly believed, should not have to settle for word of raids coming from the weeping wives of herdsmen or the sole survivor of an ambushed patrol, and set about putting a keen and imposing presence upon the borders shared with Dorne.

Tall, fortified, and near impenetrable, one great beacon tower could be manned by three, or host thirty for a fortnight. Its height requires enemy archers sacrifice distance in order to loose upon the turret, provides a clear vantage point to the lands below and beyond, and a line of sight to the adjacent tower in the event its beacon is lit.

From the mouth of the Wyl to Nightsong, the border is roughly 350 miles by foot. A line of sight to an unlit tower would require ten miles from tower to tower, but since they function primarily as beacons, pyre to pyre allows for nearly twenty. Thusly, TWENTY TWO towers were decided upon.

In the fourth moon of 166 AC, the first foundstone was laid for *Durran’s Light*, the westernmost beacon standing at the corner of Caron holdings. Within the three moons, towers south and east of Nightsong had begun construction.

Plagued by raids, progress was slow, dangerous, but under way, and by 173 six towers, from Nightsong to the Prince’s Pass, were completed and garrisoned.

Unbeknownst to Lord Baratheon and the Marcher lords, negotiations between the Iron Throne and House Toyne had not only begun, but were being finalized. Soon enough, construction of the Stormland stronghold of House Targaryen became the far more appetizing venture to stone and woodcutters, and masons and supply merchants alike. Not only was catching a poisoned arrow highly unlikely, or having tools and supplies stolen in the night, but the pay was more. As a result, work on the seventh, eighth, and ninth towers crawled, not seeing completion until 181.

While foundations has been laid for two more, they had remained incomplete into the year 185. By then, Prince Aegon was far into his politicking and verbal campaigning. As a show of his promise and ability, the Black Dragon saw a tower brought to completion within two moons, erected with his own choice of black granite, paid for with his own gold. The war to seat him upon the Iron Throne was imminent.

After the Blackwater, the noble houses of the Marches reeled from conflict, Summerhall resumed its construction, and the increased tax burden placed upon Storm's End saw completion of any new towers abandoned. The existing towers remained garrisoned.
Lys Tyrosh War

## The Trade War

 War of Lys and Tyrosh

 ### Date

 196-199

 ### Location

 Disputed LandsLys

Tyrosh

 ### Result

 No Decisive Victory

```

**The Lys Tyrosh War** is a series of battles between the Free-City of Lys and the Free-City of Tyrosh. It is also known as **The Trade War**. Most of the battles took place in the Disputed Lands between Sellsword companies contracted by the Free Cities.

## 196 AC  – First Blood.

The majority of 195 AC is filled with contentious debates and squabbles over trade routes in the Disputed Lands. Lys and Tyrosh had come to a standstill, though blood had not been spilt up to this point. Not until mid-196 AC Tyrosh hires Sellswords to ambush and police the trade routes. Word reaches Lys and the Perfumed Sister consolidates their mercenary might for a response. The Archon sends the conclave of Lys a missive asking for Lys to pay a trade tax for continued use of the best trade routes Tyrosh claims belong to them now.

## In Response.

Lys sends mercenaries to reclaim the disputed lands. The collective forces of Lys are enough to remove the military might of Tyrosh from the disputed lands. Tyorosh however, in secret have sent a majority of their forces and naval might to attack Lys directly. While being protected by less than half their contracted forces, Lys is dealt a massive blow. Losing merchant ships, warships, soldiers, slaves, and goods. Tyrosh once again sends a missive to the Conclave of Lys with demands for their capitulation. Unable to protect their city and the trade routes, Lys recall their men from the disputed lands, yielding the trade routes to Tyrosh once more.

### In Lys

Fearful of a second attack, the Magisters elect Khain Azrahal as Warmarshall of Lys. The selection is disputed by House Rogare who sought to name another candidate for the position. Their defenses are put in place and Lys is on high alert for any further assaults of their harbor. Sellsails hired by Tyrosh will continue to harass merchant vessels leaving Lys for months after the massive Tyrosh assault.

### In Tyrosh

Confident they have subdued Lys, Tyrosh control disputed lands with ease. Enforcing strict taxes on anyone who use the preferred trade routes, they believe the war to be over. The Archon proclaims a victory over Lys even if they do not respond to his missive of capitulation. Tyrosh hosts a festival of victory in honor of the Archon’s success and triumphs.

## The Rogare Bank & The Battle of Alahko Ford

Looking to reclaim what was lost during the past two years, the Rogare family hire any company of sellswords or corsairs they can find. Amassing an expensive and bloated army and navy, the massive force is split in two. Assaulting the unsuspecting Tyroshi navy and reclaiming the disputed lands and damaging the Tyroshi fleet greatly. However, during this event both sides suffer immense casualties. Lys believes it a victory, however it cost them greatly and lead them to being no better off than they had been prior to 195 AC. The battle is known as the Battle of Alahko ford. It’s the final point of military conflict between the two cities until present day.

Claw Castle, the seat of House Celtigar, lies to the north of the island, and is shielded by two large cliffs, and shadows a large village. The keep is not large, and is said to be only a hair larger than Darry. Despite this, House Celtigar's wealth is not unknown; the Lords of House Celtigar boast Valyrian heritage, and possess a Valyrian Steel Axe called Claw. As well, they own many disputable treasures.
Trebor Martell

Prince **Trebor Nymeros Martell**, known simply as **Trebor Martell**, is the current head of House Martell, the Prince of Dorne, and the Lord of Sunspear. Having succeeded his father in 179 AC, aged fifteen, Trebor has ruled Dorne for the past two decades.

## Character and Appearance

Tall and thin, Trebor is an athletic man with no particular proclivity towards the martial aspects of life. He is lean yet decently muscled, and his olive skin is a testament to his bloodline. He has brown eyes and brown hair, which he wears long and brushed back behind his head. He is usually found clean shaven, but sometimes sports a very slight beard.

Trebor is a kind and caring man, and a more than able ruler. He has lead a prosperous Dorne for over two decades, and is a beloved figure in his country. There are some who would describe him as tedious and overly patient, however - a man who prefers idle walks and long talks to most.

## History

Trebor was born in the year 163 AC as the eldest of two children to the ruling Prince of Dorne, Maron Martell, and his wife, Lady Delonne Allyrion. The newborn babe was named for his uncle, Trebor, who had ruled Dorne for but a few hours during Daeron Targaryen's Conquest of Dorne.

At age seven, Trebor was sent to page for his uncle, the Lord of Godsgrace. Lord Allyrion was a patient and scholarly man, and so Trebor's studies took a natural leaning towards academia, governance, and history. He was tutored in the use of the sword and shield, lance and bow, but he never found himself excellent at any one, nor overly fond of them.

When Trebor was still fifteen and at Godsgrace, news arrived of his parents passing in a wreckage at sea. Trebor was now the Prince of Dorne, and thus cut his time with his mother's family short. A few months later, Trebor came of age and assumed his seat outright. He surrounded himself with able advisors and learned a great deal from them.

Trebor married within his first year of governance, to Mariah Blackmont, who became pregnant with their first child that same year. However, during the birth, Mariah miscarries and cannot recover from the damage done to her in the process. Young and in grief, Trebor couples with Mariah's older sister Lorezah, the wife of the Lord of Starfall. Vorian Sand was born of the tryst, forever earning Trebor the resentment of houses Dayne and Blackmont.

Trebor eventually remarried, to Larra Fowler of Skyreach. Together the pair had four children: Maron, Olyvar, Mariah, and Ashara. When war breaks out in the Seven Kingdoms, Trebor keeps Dorne out of the conflict, though can do little to prevent minor incidents along the border regions. Such incidents have blighted his reign, yet remain infrequent and are dealt with swiftly.

## Recent Events

News arrived in Planky Town in the late months of the year 200 AC of King Daeron Targaryen's death and the soon-to-follow coronation of his grandson, Prince Jaehaerys. Prince Trebor made plans to send his bastard to King's Landing in secret, as an envoy to the new king. Meanwhile, the people of Dorne eventually learn of the news, and mass celebrations break out across the country.

Sortimer of Riverrun, Leader of the Teeth

* **165 AC: Born in Riverrun to an unknown father and mother**
* **174 AC: Sneaked into a castle and met Ser Franc Daljeon of Riverrun. He taught him how to wield a blade.**
* **181 AC: Ser Franc Daljeon dies of a sickness and he is chased away, forced to live on the streets, with only his sword, Dulbaen.**
* **185 AC: Leaves Riverrun with a band of twenty men, with an idea in his head, of a merc group called the Teeth.**
* **194 AC: After almost a decade of thieving, Sortimer has thirty thousand silver coins and he buys armor and horses and weapons for his 79 man group of ragtag mercenaries and forms the Teeth.**
* **201 AC: He has a group of 150 men and banners and a reputation to answer for it.**

Sortimer was born to a man and a woman, of which the identities are unknown to him. He survived on the slums of Riverrun by stealing and begging until he was old enough to steal better. When he was 9 he sneaked into a castle, and was cought by a knight. The knight's name was Franc Daljeon. Franc, instead of beating him and turning him in to the city guard, taught him how to wield a sword and shoot a bow Sortimer had it quite easy for the next 7 years.

When he was 16, Ser Franc died of an illness and, without anyone to protect him, he was chased off, and was back to square one. At least he had his sword and bow with him. When he turned 20 he left Riverrun to newer prospects and had 20 thieves with him.

In 194, he met the man named Philyp and they became quick and good friends, as Philyp the Warlord provided quite the amount of money from his House. Next year, he met Dara Lorgrind in Saltpans who owned a brothel there. He made a deal with her, and now, his men double the business in her brothel and a fourth of the income goes to the Teeth.

7 years later, Sortimer has grown to have 150 men at his command and controls one of the larges merc groups in the Riverlands. In the Teeth, the political power he holds is only matched by that of Philyp, who has a cohort of 70 men.

## Sortimer

Sortimer owns his sword, Dulbaen and his bow, which is named Lifesbane, quite unoriginally. He is quite the shady type, and is known for betraying the oaths he makes. He is a ruthless cutthroat and generally not a good person, but that is what lets him be successful in the world of theives. Men in the Riverlands come to him often, as the Teeth are unmatched in the Riverlands in number and coin. Although the men in the group are quite the unsavory type.

Elaena Celtigar

Princess of Dragonstone

## Appearance and Personality

Few men in the Seven Kingdoms could look on Elaena Celtigar and think her not a great beauty. Perhaps for those with the taste for the unnatural and wicked, but for few others. She could be considered a great beauty, with sparkling dark-violet eyes, silvery Valyrian hair, and a slender face, accented by a strong jaw and prominent cheekbones.

Her eyes seem to pierce, intense as ever, even when tired. It's her lips that might set her apart, though, bright and pink and prominent against her pale skin, with thick dark brows, and a small nose.

She's slender, though in the depths of her pregnancy she could be called pudgy at best. A childbirth has not diminished her beauty, though, and though scars can be found along her belly from carrying Aegon, her legs remain slender and pale, her breasts small, but not yet suffering from the burden of age.

## Biography

**182 AC**: Elaena Celtigar is born, the last child of Lord Ardrian Celtigar and his wife, Lady Cadence.

**186 AC**: The Blackwater Rebellion began, and Lord Ardrian disembarked from Claw Isle with the mustered men, intent on supporting Aegon. Though he succeeds, his son, Terrence, does not, and instead takes Elaena and her sister, Baela to Dragonstone.

**187 AC**: It should be noted that throughout the war, Elaena’s support of Terrence sparked great controversy between her and her sister. Though young at the time, Elaena was very pro-Daeron, and her brother allowed her to begin training as a healer – her greatest wish at the time was to become one.

**190-196 AC:** Over the course of the years, Elaena began growing adept at the art of manipulation as well. Her legendary will was known amongst Claw Isle, and few could resist her.

**196 AC**: Elaena Celtigar marries Baelon Targaryen after meeting him at the Tourney of the Great Sept. From here, her skills branch outwards. She became protective of her husband – almost maniacally so, becoming a master of subterfuge in the process. Her skill of management on Dragonstone became well-known, and beside Baelon’s counterpart, Lia, they began working together to assure the island’s safety. Counter-intelligence was her savvy, and beside that, infiltration as well, when she began settling spies and servants in on Claw Isle.

**198 AC:** Elaena becomes pregnant, and gives birth to Baelon’s first child, Aegon.

**201 AC:** Elaena travels to King’s Landing with Baelon
