**The Battle of the Whispering wood** was an important battle during the War of the Five Kings and was fought between the armies of House Stark, under the command of Robb Stark, and the armies of House Lannister, under the command of Ser Jaime Lannister. It ended with a victory for the Stark forces.

## Events

### Before the Battle

Ser Jaime is confident of victory after wins at both the Battle of the Golden Tooth and the Battle of Riverrun. He holds many knights of The Riverlands hostage, as well as the heir of House Tully, Robb's uncle, Ser Edmure Tully.

He regularly leads his troops out now to take, ransack and pillage the castles and towns of nearby riverlords, possibly including Stone Hedge and Raventree Hall. He is unaware that Robb has bolstered his army with men of House Frey and House Mallister, and is marching south on the western side of the Trident.

### The Battle

Robb lures the overconfident Jaime into a trap in a wooded valley. By utilizing the sorties of Ser Marq Piper to lure Jaime out he pulls the small Lannister force into an ambush. Ser Brynden Tully is assigned with killing off Jaime's outiders, whilst Lord Jason Mallister, Ser Stevron Frey, Lord Rickard Karstark and Lord Greatjon Umber are given command to attack the Lannister forces. Lady Maege Mormont was assigned to alert the other commanders that the attack was ready.

During the battle Jaime would personally attack Robb, but his personal guard would get in the way. He would cut down Daryn Hornwood, Eddard Karstark and Torrhen Karstark before being subdued and taken prisoner. Theon Greyjoy, who fought beside Robb, claimed that the Lannisters lost 10 men for every one Stark man who died.

### After the Battle

Many Lords and knights of The Westerlands are taken prisoner after the battle. Lord Gawen Westerling is taken prisoner by House Mallister, Lord Quenten Banefort is taken by Lord Jonos Bracken, Ser Garth Greenfield is taken to Raventree Hall, Lord Regenard Estren is taken by House Frey and sent to the Twins, whilst Ser Tytos Brax, Mallor the Dornishman, Willem Lannister, Ser Cleos Frey and Tion Frey are all taken prisoner and held at Riverrun after the Battle of the Camps. Rickard Karstark starts to desire revenge for the death of his sons.

## History

Through Amandil, the kings claim descent from the Lords of Andúnië, and from there to Silmariën and the Kings of Númenor. Elendil was the first King of Arnor and was succeeded by Isildur. Elendil ruled over both realms as King of all the Dúnedain-in-exile. Isildur succeeded him as High King as well upon his father's death. Isildur committed Gondor to the rule of Meneldil the son of Anárion as sole King of Gondor's royalty in the South-realm remained, as his line was by right High King over both Arnor and Gondor, though after Isildur's death, the realms were split. Isildur's heirs ruled Arnor and Anárion's heirs ruled Gondor.

Eärnur was taken in Minas Morgul and never seen again, and the Kingdom of Gondor was ruled by a succession of Stewards until the restoration of the line of Kings through the Heir of Isildur King Aragorn II Elessar, the first King of the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor.

> ― Jaime Lannister
>

**Hoster Blackwood**, also known as **Hos**, is the third son of Lord Tytos Blackwood of Raventree Hall, and the younger brother of Lucas Blackwood. He is described as bookish, possibly why there is no mention of him fighting in the War of the Five Kings on the side of House Stark.

**The Battle of the Camps** was a major battle during the War of the Five Kings fought between the armies of House Stark, under the command of Robb Stark, and the armies of House Lannister, under the command of Lord Andros Brax and Ser Forley Prester. It is a resunding win for the Stark army, and liberates the first Siege of Riverrun.

## Events

### Before the Battle

Ser Jaime Lannister beats the army of Ser Edmure Tully at the Battle of Riverrun and then lays siege to the mighty castle itself. However his supply train is harassed by Ser Marq Piper and Lord Karyl Vance, leadig him out into a trap set by Robb. with Jaime captured, and a lot of his generals with him, the armies besieging Riverrun are left leaderless and unaware.

### The Battle

the battle starts when Ser Brynden Tully, who is commanding Robb's vanguard, strikes the northernmost of the three Lannister siege camps. This is the camp that would have been under the control of Jaime and so is left leaderless. Lord Andros Brax attempts to lead men across the Tumblestone on rafts to aid the other camp, but a combination of the wrath of the river and rocks being thrown from the walls of Riverrun mean a lot of these rafts sink, including the one bearing Lord Brax, who dies in the river.

Robb Stark then leads his own troops, bolstered by the armies of House Umber and House Mallister against the second Lannister camp. The Lannisters attempt to form a shield wall, but are taken from behind when Lord Tytos Blackwood leads riverland survivors of the Battle of Riverrun out of Riverrun to free the captives. Lord Greatjon Umber meanwhile is tasked with burning the enemy siege towers. Ser Forley Prester retreats his small army back to the Golden Tooth.

### After the Battle

The Lannisters lose roughly 8000 men at the Battle of the Camps, and with the siege of Riverrun broken Robb now has a defendable base of operations in The Riverlands. It is at a war council after the battle that Robb is proclaimed King in the North.
Daenys Targaryen

**Daenys Targaryen**, known as **Daenys the Dreamer**, was a member of House Targaryen from before the War of Conquest. She was the daughter of Aenar Targaryen, a nobleman of the Valyrian Freehold.

## History

When she was still a maiden, Daenys had a prophetic dream that foretold the Doom of Valyria. Her father, Aenar, relocated the family to the island of Dragonstone, the furthest point of the Valyruian control to the west. After the Doom came, House Targaryen became the last bastion of the Freehold.

Daenys was later married to her brother, Gaemon Targaryen who served as Lord of Dragonstone.
Great Pyramid

The **Great Pyramid** of Meereen is the administrative center of Meereen, and the current seat of House Targaryen. It is 800 feet tall.

## History

The Great Pyramid of Meereen was built as a sister-building to the Great Pyramid of Ghis, which now stands ruined in Old Ghis, the capital of the late Ghiscari Empire.

It served as a home to the Great Masters, who would later be deposed by Daenerys Targaryen. Daenerys became the Queen of Meereen, and took the Great Pyramid as her house's seat. Upon Queen Daenerys's disappearance, many of the Meereenese had feared that she had died. Daenerys's consort, Hizdahr zo Loraq, took over and briefly ruled as King of Meereen, until he was overthrown and imprisoned by Daenerys's Hand, Ser Barristan Selmy.
Lelia Lannister

Queen **Lelia Lannister** was a lady of House Lannister and the wife of King Harmund II Hoare.

## History

Harmund the II spent his youth as a ward of the Lannisters at Casterly Rock. Once he became the King of the Iron Islands, Harmund married Lelia, the daughter of the King in the Rock. Their children were raised to follow the Faith of the Seven.

When Harmund II died, he was succeeded by his eldest son with Lelia, Harmund III Hoare. He was opposed by the Drowned Men due to his desire to outlaw reaving, salt wives, and thralls. A Drowned Man called the Shrike led a quick and successful rebellion, crowning another of Lelia's sons, Hagon Hoare, who restored traditional Ironborn practices.

Hagon became known as Hagon the Heartless as he gave his brother and mother over to the rebels to be mutilated. The Shrike blamed Lelia for turning her husband and son away from the Drowned God. Lelia's lips, ears, eyelids and tongue were removed, and she was then returned to Casterly Rock

The then-King of the Rock, Lelia's nephew, was outraged, and declared a war of retaliation on Hagon. Ser Aubrey Crakehall, a Lannister commander, would defeat Hagon and capture him. Before being hanged, Hagon was mutilated in the same way that Lelia was.
Hildórien

File:Hildorien2.png
**Hildórien** was the land where Men first awoke in the first year of the Years of the Sun.

This region was in the far east of Middle-earth southeast of the Orocarni and Cuiviénen, the awakening place of the elves. Throughout the ages, Hildórien faced the East Sea and continued to do so ever after.

## History

According to legends of the Edain, Morgoth visited Men in Hildórien and converted them away from Eru Ilúvatar tricking them into believing they were made mortals as a punishment. However, this was merely a trait bestowed upon men by Eru and not out of punishment. To escape the evil of Morgoth and his followers, the Atanatári were the first to flee Hildórien, travelling west to eventually Beleriand. However, the Men that continued to worship Morgoth followed later on in the First Age with the promise that if they served him, they would receive the rich lands of Beleriand as payment.

Hildórien was possibly deserted by the race of Men and no longer inhabited by the time of the War of the Ring, when Middle-earth had gotten a new terrestrial landscape at the beginning of the Second Age. It is also possible that the two Blue Wizards travelled here, since they were destined to journey to the East.

## Etymology

*Hildórien* is a Quenyan word 'Land of the Followers'. Its name (*Hildor-ien*) means a reference to the name *Hildor* (Followers) given to Men by Elves.Template:Fact

Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion

Belligerents| **Red Dragon*** House Targaryen
	+ House Lannister
* Golden Company

The **Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion** was a short uprising led by Daemon III Blackfyre during the reign of King Aegon V Targaryen.

## Prelude

In Tyrosh, Ser Aegor Bittersteel crowns Daemon Blackfyre as King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men after the death of Haegon Blackfyre, another Blackfyre claimant who died in the Third Blackfyre Rebellion. During the Great Council of 233 AC, Aenys Blackfyre tried to make his claim on the Iron Throne, but he was arrested and executed on the orders of Brynden Bloodraven, the Hand of the King.

## The Rebellion

King Daemon led the Golden Company across the Narrow Sea with the help of Bittersteel. They landed at Massey's Hook in the Crownlands.

King Aegon the Unlikely and his three sons rode out of King's Landing to face the invaders. A battle broke out at Wendwater Bridge, and the Golden Company was defeated. Lord Commander Duncan of the Kingsguard killed Daemon, and Aegor Rivers fleed back into exile in Essos.

The heir of Lord Gerold Lannister, Ser Tion, was slain at Wendwater. This made Tytos Lannister the new heir to Casterly Rock.

## Aftermath

Aegor Rivers arrived in the Disputed Lands a few years after the rebellion, fighting in a skirmish between the Free Cities of Tyrosh and Myr. Though Ser Aegor died a few years later, the Blackfyre cause would remain until 260 AC, where Maelys Blackfyre was slain by Ser Barristan the Bold in the War of the Ninepenny Kings.
Khand

Template:Infobox LOTR place**Khand** was the name of a land which lay to the south-east of Mordor and to the east of Near Harad. Almost nothing is known about Khand or its nomadic people. "Variags" (men of Khand) fought for Sauron's army, but nothing aside from their name was mentioned.

## History

 File:Khand...jpeg
Khand was under the influence of Mordor and supplied it with horses, and twice came into the history of Gondor: first in the year TA 1944 when the Variags together with the Wainriders attacked Gondor, and later during the War of the Ring when they fought and died on the Pelennor Fields. While this is not directly said in the literature, it is probable that Khand gradually fell under the control of Gondor during the Fourth Age and was hostile to it no longer.

Based on the map of the region, and its proximity to Harad, Khand was most likely a dry and barren land covered in desert. Its geography is little-known, although it could either constitute dry grassland or sandy desert.

## Etymology

The name is possibly something in the language of the indigenous population. Also, *Khand* is a word that means "realm" in India, according to *The Thain's Book Website*, for instance in the usage of the Indian state of Uttarakhand, literally meaning "Northern Realm".

House Teague

Template:Noble house**House Teague** was a noble house that ruled the Riverlands before the conquest of the ironmen and Aegon I Targaryen.

About a century after the extinction of House Justman, Torrence Teague, an adventurer of uncertain birth, raided the wastelands and used the gold to hire sellswords from Essos to conquer the Riverlands. After six years of fighting, Torrence was crowned at Maidenpool.

But the river lords didn't liked their new overlords, and House Teague was forced to keep hostages of various families at their court. Theo Teague, fourth king of House Teague, was nicknamed the Saddle-sore because he spent most of his reign riding throughout the river lands to quell rebellions.

When King Humfrey I Teague tried to outlaw the worship of the Old Gods, several Houses led by Roderick Blackwood rose in rebellion. The Teagues were close to defeating the rebels, but Roderick sought the aid of his son in-law Arlan III Durrandon, the Storm King and in the climatic Battle of the Six Kings, King Humfrey I, his son and heir Humfrey II, his two other sons Hollis and Tyler Teague and the brother and champion of King Humfrey, Damon Teague, were all killed, extinguishing House Teague in a single afternoon. Roderick was also killed in the battle, and Arlan realized the river lords wouldn't want a woman as ruler and mistrusted Roderick's brothers, so the Riverlands went to form part of the Kingdom of the Stormlands.
House Dayne

**House Dayne of Starfall** is a Dornish noble house sworn to House Martell, located in Starfall. Most of its members are stony Dornishmen, pale with violet eyes.

House Dayne was loyal to House Targaryen during Robert's Rebellion. Its most famous member was Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, one of the most honest and true knights. He was killed by Lord Eddard Stark and his men when they stormed the Tower of Joy to find Lyanna Stark.

Edric Dayne is the current head of House Dayne. He squired for Beric Dondarrion, who is betrothed to his aunt, Allyria Dayne. The greatsword of House Dayne is named Dawn and was forged out of the core of a fallen star. It is said that only the most worthy of knights of the House Dayne can wield Dawn, thus receiving the honorific title 'Sword of the Morning'. Dawn had not been wielded since the death of Ser Arthur. It is presumed to be stored somewhere in Starfall.

## Historical members

* King Samwell Dayne, known as the Starfire. Sacked Oldtown in his lifetime.
* King Vorian Dayne, known as the Sword of the Evening. Last king of the Torrentine. Sent to the Wall by Nymeria.

Harmund II Hoare

King **Harmund II Hoare**, also known as **Harmund the Haggler**, was a King of the Iron Islands from House Hoare.

## History

Harmund was one of the Hoare kings opposed by the Drowned Men. This was due to his tolerance of the Faith of the Seven, his dislike for reaving and his preferance for trade.

Harmund spent his youth as a ward of House Lannister of Casterly Rock. Harmund II was said to be the first Ironborn king to visit mainland Westeros in peace. Once king, he married Lelia Lannister, the daughter of the King of the Rock. He also visited Oldtown and Highgarden to discuss trade.

Harmund followed both the Drowned God and the Faith of the Seven. He believed that the Drowned God was an aspect of The Stranger, and he was known to refer to eight gods. His children were raised in the Faith.
Dagorlad

File:Photo 1.png
**Dagorlad** was a vast plain in the southeastern part of Rhovanion near Mordor in Middle-earth.

Dagorlad lay between the Emyn Muil and the Cirith Gorgor, and is largely a treeless wasteland, bereft of life and beauty.

## History

The great, treeless, open plain between the Emyn Muil and Cirith Gorgor. Dagorlad refers to the Battle of Dagorlad fought there between Sauron's forces and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men at the end of the Second Age. The bodies of the dead decayed as normal, but over time part of the field became a wetland, the Dead Marshes, where the images of the fallen could be seen. Later, in the Third Age, the Dagorlad was the site of many battles between Gondor and various Easterling armies, including the Battle of the Black Gate. The countless battles of two ages left Dagorlad as a devastated wasteland, contaminated and unhealthy, with sumps of poisonous slick and mounds of scorched earth. It was also the site of many battles between the armies of Gondor and the Wainriders between the years TA 1899 and TA 1944.

## Known Battles

The Battle of Dagorlad occurred in the year 3434 of the Second Age. It was fought between the army of the Last Alliance under Gil-galad and Elendil and an army of Orcs with other creatures loyal to Sauron. The battle took place on the great, treeless, open plain between the Dead Marshes and Cirith Gorgor.

The Battle of the Black Gate, was the last major battle against Sauron in the War of the Ring, fought at the Black Gate of Mordor. The army of the West, 6,000 strong by now, led by Aragorn marched on the gate as a diversionary feint to distract Sauron's attention from Frodo and Sam, who were carrying the One Ring through Mordor. It was hoped that Sauron would think Aragorn had the Ring and was now trying to use it to overthrow Mordor.

## Etymology

The word *Dagorlad* means 'battle plain' in the Sindarin language.

## Notes

In Peter Jackson's movie adaptation of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Dagorlad is misspelled as Dagorland on various maps shown in the films, and in the appendices of the special extended DVD editions.

Bloodstone

**Bloodstone** is the largest of the islands that make up the Stepstones.

## Location

It is the most north-westerly island, lying to the north of Grey Gallows.

## History

Bloodstone was the seat of Daemon Targaryen when he was the self-declared King of the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea.

Ser Jason Lannister was killed on Bloodstone during the War of the Ninepenny Kings.
Argella Baratheon

Lady **Argella Baratheon**, née **Durrandon**, was the last monarch of the Kingdom of the Storm under the Durrandon dynasty, briefly ruling as Storm Queen after her father Argilac's death at the Last Storm. She then married Orys Baratheon, making the Durrandon line officially extinct after her death. This also shaped the half-Andal, half-Valyrian family, House Baratheon.

## History

Argella was born at Storm's End, the seat of House Durrandon and capital of the Kingdom of the Storm, the precursor to the modern administrative region of the Stormlands. During the reign of her father, Argilac the Arrogant, the Kingdom of the Isles and the Rivers ruled by House Hoare was more of a threat than ever before. Argilac sought to use House Targaryen as a shield by marrying Argella off to Lord Aegon Targaryen. However, Aegon made a different proposal: to marry Argella to his right-hand-man and rumored bastard half-brother, Orys Baratheon. Infuriated, Argilac cut off the hands of Aegon's envoy and sent them back to him in a box. This sparked Aegon's intentions to conquer Westeros. Aegon landed at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush, where King's Landing stands today, and so the invasion began.

At the final battle of the conquest of the Durrandon lands, known as the Last Storm, King Argilac was slain by Orys. After Argella and the rest at Storm's End heard about this, she was crowned the new Storm Queen, being the only Durrandon left. She didn't rule long enough to be considered a ruler, though, as when the Targaryen-Baratheon host approached near Storm's End, they surrended instantly, as most of the Durrandon army had been wiped out at the Last Storm, and all that remained was the small Storm's End garrison that stayed behind. This was against Argella's will, as she had ordered that the Storm's End garrison would fight to the last man. The men-at-arms at Storm's End revolted and captured Argella, delivering her to Orys Baratheon's war camp, gagged, chained and naked. Orys removed the chains with his own hands, cloaked her, and fed her. He spoke gently and politely to her, telling her about her father's courage in battle and in death.

Orys would marry Argella and become the Lord of Storm's End and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands, along with his position as Aegon's Hand.

She had at least two sons with Orys, one of them being Davos Baratheon.
House Baratheon of King's Landing

**House Baratheon of King's Landing** is the royal house of the Seven Kingdoms, being the faction of House Baratheon currently holding the Iron Throne. It is a separate faction from House Baratheon of Storm's End, due to the War of the Five Kings dividing the house. House Baratheon of King's Landing supports Tommen Baratheon, who is the current King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, as well as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

House Redwyne

Template:Noble house

**House Redwyne of the Arbor** is a powerful noble house sworn to House Tyrell. It is located in the Reach, specifically on the Arbor, a small island. House Redwyne is strongly connected with their overlords, House Tyrell, as the current lord, Paxter Redwyne, is married to his cousin Mina Tyrell, the sister of Lord Mace Tyrell.

## Recent Events

The Redwyne twins, Hobber and Horas, tease Samwell Tarly when he was sent to the Arbor to be a page at Lord Redwyne's court.

## In the Books

* During the War of the Five Kings, the Redwyne twins were at King's Landing. They were kept hostages in order to prevent **House Redwyne** and its large fleet from partnering with House Tyrell, who supported Renly Baratheon. However, after Renly's death, while the alliance with Joffrey was being negotiated, one of them was returned to the Arbor, as a sign of good will. Later on in the books, Cersei Lannister had them arrested when she was plotting against Margaery Tyrell, but they were never tortured. They were only named so that they could be cleared, to show everyone that the investigation was fair.

* Currently, Paxter Redwyne is part of a small council at King's Landing as the Master of Ships.
Dorthonion

File:Dorthonion.jpg
**Dorthonion** and later **Taur-nu-Fuin**, also called **Orod-na-Thon** and also later called **Deldúwath**, was a highland region of the First Age, lying immediately to the north of Beleriand, and south of the plains of Ard-galen (later Anfauglith) that bordered Morgoth's stronghold of Thangorodrim.

## Description

 File:Dorthonion.gif
Dorthonion was 60 leagues east to west. In the north, it rose gradually from the plains, with great pine forests. The Ered Gorgoroth formed the southern boundary of Dorthonion, bending to the north on the east side to create the **Pass of Aglon** between Dorthonion and Hills of Himring. To the south and west of Dorthonion were the Echoriath, which surrounded the hidden kingdom of Gondolin. The upper reaches of the River Sirion passed between the western slopes of Dorthonion and the Ered Wethrin.

## History

Dorthonion was originally ruled by Angrod and Aegnor, sons of Finarfin, but it was overrun by Morgoth in the Dagor Bragollach, after which it was known as Taur-nu-Fuin which translates as *Forest under Night* or *The Forest under the Shadow of the Night*.

The northeastern slopes of Dorthonion were known as Ladros, a fief given to Boromir of the House of Bëor. Here Barahir and a small band of outlaws dwelt until they were all slain at Tarn Aeluin by Orcs sent by Sauron save for Beren, Barahir's son in FA 460. Beren dwelt alone in the wilderness of Dorthonion for a time until he left for Doriath and met Lúthien.

Along with the other lands west of the Blue Mountains, Taur-nu-Fuin was mostly destroyed in the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age. Afterwards, its highest points survived as the island **Tol Fuin** (Isle of Night), part of the **Western Isles**.

## Etymology

***Dorthonion*** was a Sindarin word that meant 'land of pines'.

Damon Lannister (lord)

## Damon Lannister

Lord **Damon Lannister**, also known as the **Grey Lion**, was a Lord of Casterly Rock during the reign of King Daeron II Targaryen.

## Appearance

Lord Damon had golden hair and green eyes.

## History

### Tourney at Lannisport

Before Damon became a lord, he was defeated by Ser Arlan of Pennytree in a tourney at Lannisport, and another time by Ser Tommard Heddle.

### First Blackfyre Rebellion

Damon fought in the First Blackfyre Rebellion, where he was defeated by Ser Quentyn Ball.

### Tourney at Ashford Meadow

At the tourney as Ashford Meadow, he challenged Lord Leo Longthorn. Damon was defeated when his helm was knocked off by Lord Leo's lance.

### Great Spring Sickness

Lord Damon succumbed to the Great Spring Sickness in 210 AC. He was succeeded by his son Tybolt as Lord of Casterly Rock.
Lucas Blackwood

**Lucas Blackwood** was the second son of Lord Tytos Blackwood. He fought for King Robb Stark during the War of the Five Kings, and was murdered by House Frey at the event that later became known as the Red Wedding.

## Books

### A Clash of Kings

Lucas is one of the companions sent with Lady Catelyn Stark to treat with Renly Baratheon and Stannis Baratheon in the hopes of securing an alliance between Robb and one of them. He is presumably assigned with protecting Catelyn's person.

### A Storm of Swords

Lucas attends the wedding of Lord Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, which later becomes known as the Red Wedding. He is personally killed by Ser Hosteen Frey. His death may have been why his father did not immediately bend the knee to either King Joffrey I Baratheon, or later his brother King Tommen I Baratheon.

### A Dance with Dragons

Lucas' bones are to be returned to Raventree Hall as part of Lord Tytos' deal to bend the knee peacefully. He intends to give Lucas a proper Old Gods funeral, burying him under the great weirwood of Raventree.
Ashara Dayne

File:Ashara dayne.jpg
## Appearance

Ashara was tall, with long dark hair and haunting violet eyes. She had a reputation for great beauty. Many men were infatuated with her, including Barristan Selmy and, according to rumor, Eddard Stark.

## History

Ashara was a lady-in-waiting to Princess Elia Martell. She was present at the Tourney at Harrenhal, where she danced with several men, including Eddard Stark after his brother Brandon spoke with her.

After the events of the Tower of Joy, Ned Stark went to Starfall to inform House Dayne of Ser Arthur's death and return to them his greatsword, Dawn. Ashara jumped from the top of one of the towers of Starfall, called the Palestone Sword, on the cliff atop the sea. Her body was never recovered. After these events, Ned Stark returned to Winterfell with the infant Jon Snow, whom he claimed as his bastard son, refusing to name the child's mother. This sparked rumors that Ashara had been the mother of Stark's bastard, and that grief at learning that her lover had been responsible for her brother's death was the cause of her suicide.

Ser Barristan Selmy believes that Ashara gave birth to a stillborn daughter. According to Selmy, a man dishonored her at Harrenhal during the tourney and got her with child. In Selmy's account, it was grief at the death of her child (and possibly of her brother's death) and shame at being dishonored that led to Ashara's suicide. Also, Selmy thinks that he could have prevented Ashara's suicide if she had known of his feelings for her; that he thinks would have led her to seek his aid instead of a Stark's aid.
Dorna Swyft

**Dorna Swyft** is a lady of House Swyft and the wife of Ser Kevan Lannister. She is the mother of his children, Lancel, Willem, Martyn, and Janei Lannister.

## Appearance and Character

According to Cersei Lannister, she is chinless, chicken-legged, and flat-chested.

Kevan Lannister believes her to be a gentle soul, only comfortable at home, surrounded by friends and family. She dreamed of having grandchildren, and is very devout. She loves needlework and flowers.

## History

When Dorna was younger her father borrowed large sums of money from Lord Tytos Lannister. After the War of the Ninepenny Kings, Ser Tywin Lannister, the heir to Casterly Rock, demanded that all those who took loans from House Lannister had to repay them immediately. Those unable to do so had to surrender a family member as hostage until they were able to do so.

Ser Harys Swyft, unable to pay at the time, handed Dorna over to the custody of Ser Kevan Lannister. The two were eventually married.

## Books

### A Dance with Dragons

Ser Kevan thinks of Dorna before his death at the hands of Varys.
Calmacil

Template:Infobox Person Men Gondor

**Calmacil** (TA 1058 - TA 1304, r. TA 1294 - TA 1304) was the eighteenth King of Gondor and the brother of Narmacil I, whom he succeeded as King in TA 1294.

His reign lasted for ten years, in which his son Minalcar (known later as Rómendacil II) continued his function as Regent, a function he had held during Narmacil's reign. It therefore would seem he never held (nor, perhaps, desired) any actual power.

In TA 1304 he died and was succeeded by Minalcar.

Lyonel's Rebellion

Strategic Baratheon victory.

* Rhaelle Targaryen betrothed to Ormund Baratheon, as Lyonel wanted.

Belligerents| **Kingdom of the Storm*** House Baratheon

**Lyonel's Rebellion** was a short military conflict between houses Baratheon and Targaryen, during the reign of King Aegon V Targaryen.

## Prelude

King Aegon V Targaryen arranged a betrothal of his heir, Prince Duncan Targaryen, to Lyonel Baratheon's daughter. However, the betrothal was broken when Duncan fell in love with and married the lowborn Jenny of Oldstones. Infuriated, and believing that House Targaryen had insulted House Baratheon's honor, he renounced his fealty to the Iron Throne, declared himself Storm King, and pronounced that the Stormlands had seceded from the Seven Kingdoms.

## The rebellion

King Lyonel called his banners and took up arms against the Crown.

The conflict ended when King Lyonel was defeated by Ser Duncan the Tall of the Kingsguard, in a trial by combat. Lyonel surrendered and abdicated, and swore fealty to the Crown once more. The rebellion was a strategic victory for House Baratheon, however, as Lyonel got what he wanted; King Aegon betrothed his youngest daughter, Princess Rhaelle Targaryen, to Ormund Baratheon, Lyonel's son and heir.
Dragonstone

### Places

Chamber of the Painted Table • Stone Drum • Great Hall • Windwyrm • Sea Dragon Tower • Aegon's Garden • Sept of Dragonstone

### Founder

Valyrian Freehold

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

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

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

## History

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

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

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

**Dor Daidelos**, also known as **The** **Region of Everlasting Cold**, was a cold, vast and barren wasteland north of the Ered Engrin during the First Age.

It was created shortly after Melkor's retreat after the First War before the Spring of Arda.

## After First Age

Nearly half of this land was destroyed after Melkor's final defeat in the War of Wrath. The part that remained became known as the **Northern Waste**. A tribe of men known as the Forodwaith, who learned to adapt to these frozen conditions, lived here.

Benedict I Justman

King **Benedict I Justman**, also known as **Benedict Rivers**, **Benedict the Bold**, and **Benedict the Just** was a King of the Trident and founder of House Justman.

## History

Benedict was originally a bastard born of House Blackwood and House Bracken. He was despised as a boy, but became a great knight known as Benedict the Bold. The Blackwoods and the Brackens were his first supporters, and he then defeated all the petty kings of the Riverlands over a thirty year period, before then allowing himself to be crowned.

He went on to become known as a just king, hence he took the name Justman for his new house. During his twenty-three-year reign he expanded his dominion as far east as Maidenpool and as far north as the Neck. He was succeeded by his son, King Benedict II Justman.
Brandon Stark

**Brandon Stark** was the firstborn son and heir of Lord Rickard Stark, and the older sibling of Eddard and Lyanna Stark.

He was betrothed to Catelyn Tully , but was executed in King's Landing alongside his father by the Mad King when he entered the Red Keep with a handful of companions (Jeffory Mallister, Kyle Royce, Ethan Glover, and Elbert Arryn) demanding that Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen answer for his supposed abduction of Lyanna. The five young men were arrested by King Aerys II and charged with treason. Their fathers were called to King's Landing to answer these charges as well but were apprehended on arrival and presented in front of the court in the Red Keep.

Lord Rickard was tied to a stake and Brandon to a strangulation device. Brandon strangled himself reaching for a sword inches away from him in attempt to rescue his father, who was burned alive by wildfire in front of him, on orders of the Mad King, who died first is unclear.

After Brandon's death, Catelyn married Eddard instead. Brandon was buried with the Kings of Winter in the crypt beneath Winterfell.

Eddard also named his second son after his late brother.

Agnes Blackwood

Lady **Agnes Blackwood** was the head of House Blackwood and Lady of Raventree Hall during the invasion of the Riverlands by House Hoare.

## History

Agnes joined up with Lord Tommen Tully when King Harwyn Hoare invaded the Riverlands. She led her force against the Hoare enemy, but was betrayed by Lord Lothar Bracken, who delivered Agnes and two of her sons to Harwyn, who strangled the two of them there and then. He then offers Agnes the position of salt wife, but she chooses death, supposedly predicting that Harwyn's line would end in blood and fire.
