The Scouring of Ny Sar

The Scouring of Ny Sar was a short skirmish that took place in the ruined city of Ny Sar, on the river Noyne.

## Prelude

In 268AC during a routine survey of the ruined city of Ny Sar, Captain Viggo Vortyris spotted the remains of a scuttled merchant cog, shattered amongst the ruins of the Rhoynish city. Noting that it appeared the ship had been split in two by a great force striking the middle of the vessel, he sent out his men on a series of scouting parties into the seemingly abandoned city, hoping to find the source. When one of the groups failed to return, Viggo himself led a party in the direction of their last location, before finding himself, too, set upon by a band of vagabonds and privateers that had started to establish a presence at Ny Sar. Fleeing to his vessel, *Flame of the West*, Viggo was crushed by a rock dropped from one of the many archways that bridged the river Noyne as it passed through the ruins, and his ship torn asunder by the force. Hearing of the loss of the scouting party, both Norvoshi and Qohorik military vessels were sent to the manage the threat.

## The Black Goat

Led by a Qohorik admiral named Izembaro Betharios, the combined Norvoshi and Qohorik fleet approached sailed for Ny Sar. When they arrived, they encountered a scene much like the one that Viggo Vortyris had come upon, with the remains of the *Flame of the West* clearly visible beneath the great arches. As Betharios sailed beneath the arch, a loud groan echoed out over the ruins of Ny Sar. Another great boulder was dropped from the archway, and only by Betharios’ quick action was the ship, *The Black Goat*, able to avoid the same fate as Vortyris. Putting ashore, the Norvoshi and Qohoriks led an expeditionary force into the ruins.

The ruins seemed eerily silent and still as the party moved through them, and it wasn’t until the group had been searching the ruins for an hour was the trap sprung. The bandits and vagabonds appeared as if from nowhere and began slaughtering the Essosi. Rallying his men, Betharios attempted to retreat, but was quickly surrounded. It was then that the bandit leader came forward. Wearing a mask depicting an Asshai shadow demon, the man identified himself only as The Stone Man. The Stone Man demanded that Betharios send messengers back to Norvos and Qohor, so that the cities might pay a ransom for the return of their ships and soldiers. Betharios obliged, and the messengers were dispatched. Norvos resigned itself to pay the ransom to the bandits, but Qohor had other ideas.

## The Scouring

A Qohorik emissary was dispatched to Vaes Dothrak, where they were able to purchase the services of Khal Viqallo in exchange for 100 virgin girls for the khalasar. Khal Viqallo, accepting the tribute, began marching his khalasar towards Ny Sar.

It was dawn when the bandits awoke to the screams and war cries of the Dothraki. Even in the ruined city, the screamers swept through the bandits with little trouble. The Dothraki took with them all of the stolen goods that the bandits had acquired as “additional payment” and left the Qohorik and Norvoshi to return to their cities.
The Dreadfort

**The Dreadfort** is a castle situated in the North. It is the seat of House Bolton, located on the banks of the Weeping Water east of Winterfell. The Dreadfort is ill-omened as the stronghold of House Bolton, who are famed for the flayed skins of their enemies, often rumored to have been kept on display in the castle, including those of several ancient Stark kings. However, if such gruesome trophies ever did exist they have long since been removed or destroyed.

The Dreadfort is a strong fortress, with high walls and triangular merlons that look like sharp stone teeth. It has thick stone walls and massive towers. Its great hall is dim and smoky, with rows of torches grasped by skeletal human hands jutting from the walls. Long tables stand before a dais with a high table. The hall has a vaulted ceiling and wooden rafters turned black from smoke.

## History

The Dreadfort was the seat of the Red Kings from House Bolton during the Age of Heroes. The Boltons eventually submitted to the Kings in the North from House Stark near the start of the Andal invasion.

The Dreadfort once joined House Greystark of the Wolf's Den in rebellion against the Starks. Centuries ago, the Boltons rose up against King Harlon Stark and the Dreadfort held out for two years under siege before the Boltons surrendered.
The Raven's Teeth

**The Raven's Teeth** are the personal guards of the Bloodraven and House Targaryen. Much like the Kingsguard of Westeros, they serve at the Bloodraven's pleasure. Though their vows are less restrictive and they are way cooler.

Originally the Teeth were company of renowned longbowmen commanded by Brynden 'Bloodraven' Targaryen, but all bar one member of the company joined the Brynden in departing for the Wall in 247 AC. That one member, Ser Leo Storm, was tasked with ensuring the safety of Brynden's grandson - the new Bloodraven. Thus began the new duty of the Teeth.

There has never been a fixed number of knights in the teeth, instead varying based on the decision of the Bloodraven and his Knight-Commander.

During the Duel of the Dragons, five of the six members were tasked with protecting Aelor Targaryen. All five were slain in the slaughter at Scarwood and to their honour all fell before the Bloodraven's firstborn. The sixth and final member, Viserys Targaryen, then fought in the Trial by Seven. There he was slain by Prince Aemond Blackfyre in single combat.

Skull Isle

Skull Island, sometimes also called Skull Isle, is the northernmost of the Basilisk Isles. It is located in the Summer Sea north of Zamettar in Sothoryos, but the small isle is windswept and uninhabited to this day.

## History

Many of corsairs of the Basilisks decorate the hulls and masts of their ships with severed heads. When the flesh has rotted off them, the corsairs replace the heads with fresh ones, while the bare skulls are delivered to Skull Isle as an offering to some dark god. The shores of the island are lined with skulls.

In recent years, the Basilisk Isles has been considered the territory of Ghiscar, although on most islands this is in naught but name. The Ghiscari have started attempts to rebuild the cities of Gogossos and Zamettar despite this.

## Recent History

The Corsair-King Jorar Zonas returned to the Isle in 279AC, bringing a horde of over a hundred skulls from his recent reavings in the Summer Sea. However, when he sought to make port, his collided with one of the many rocky outcrops that surround the island. In time, he and his crew will join the skulls upon the island, for all perished in the collision when his ship *Bloodied Scourge* shattered into three.
Stepstones

The Stepstones are a chain of islands between the southern narrow sea and the northwestern Summer Sea. The islands are located east of Dorne in Westeros and west of the Disputed Lands in Essos. Just to the north is Tyrosh, which is sometimes considered the northernmost and easternmost of the Stepstones.

The islands are often affected by storms.

## Islands

There are fourteen major islands in the Stepstones, and countless other minor islands, most little more than small outcrops in the Narrow Sea.

* Pryr
* Highwatch
* Felstrong
* Tor
* Scarwood
* Guardian
* Golden Haven
* Larazor’s Rock
* Redwater
* Dustspear
* The Veiled Isle
* Bloodstone
* The Island of Serpents
* Grey Gallows

## Settlements

Barring the Island of Serpents, all the isles of the Stepstones have been at some point inhabited, and thus settlements, some well-kept but most decrepit and abandoned, can be found throughout. Ports and bays large enough to shelter a fleet from a passing storm are found on many of the larger isles, in particular Bloodstone, Highwatch, Scarwood, Grey Gallows, Redwater and Pryr.

The ports of Highwatch, Felstrong, Tor, Larazor’s Rock, Guardian, the Veiled Isle and Bloodstone were subject to a sabotage attempt by Amarei Blackscale, who sought to raze them when she feared they would fall into the hands of Lysanne Lyzane. However, her attempts failed in all but Highwatch and the Veiled Isle, the former only been destroyed in part.

During the trial he slew Ser Yoren Blackwood, and then fought a legendary duel with Prince Aemond Blackfyre - however he was ultimately defeated and slain by his opponent.
The Hornwood

## The Land

The Hornwood is host to many animals such as wolves, rabbit, deer and rams but what it is most famed for is the Bullmoose. The Moose are strong and hardy, like the people, and have been a popular hunting challenge for many a seasoned poacher. The Moose is emblazoned on the sigil of House Hornwood, who have been Lords of this land for centuries.

## History and Lore

The land is old and the trees display this with their thick trunks and straggly branches, hovering way overhead with sap seeping from their pores. Moss is thick on the ground and the bones of many a beast litter the rocky undergrowth. House Hornwood has ruled over and portected the Land for as long as memory takes us. The people of the Hornwood are now just like any other in the North but once they were different. The men of the Hornwood towered over all other men, the average height being over 6'5. They wore thick leather armour paired with bark and moss and would ride tamed Bullmoose into battle, wielding sharpened Moose antler to cut down their foes.

There are ancient tales of a Hornwood occupant called Blackmoose who rides a large black Bullmoose around the woods, slaying anyone who angers the Old Gods.

There is also tales of a giant Bullmoose called Alg who hids under the moss, awaiting a time when the Hornwood is threatened so that he may rise again and protect his home.
The Orphans of Ny Sar

The Orphans of Ny Sar is a sellsword company currently operating in Essos. As the name suggests, they are based predominately around the river Rhoyne and the ruins of Ny Sar, and as a result most commonly take up contracts with the cities of Norvos, Qohor and Volantis, although have been known to seek business further away when contracts are not forthcoming in their typical area of operations.

## Recent History

Unlike many other sellsword companies based in Essos, the Orphans of Ny Sar did not participate in the War of Unification on either side, for they were already signed into a contract with Volantis at the time. When they did break the contract in 246AC, they still not get involved, and instead took up another from a magister of Norvos who sought to protect his lands from raids by bandits near the Axe.
Noble Families of Lorath

There are a few families of noble birth within the Free City of Lorath, most of which claim descent from the original magisters of the city from the time of outpost formation by the Valyrians.

They rule over Lorath as a conclave of Magisters, and three from their number are chosen to serve as the Fisher Prince, Harvest Prince and Prince of the Streets.

## Main Families

### Ennahran

Although they started originally as simple whalers hunting the white and grey leviathans of Lorath Bay, the Ennahrans have grown very powerful over the past few centuries, mainly through the actions of Draqar Ennahran, born around half a century after Aegon's conquest. He started to rent out his ships to those too poor to purchase or build their own, claiming a share of their profits when they returned. Later, he began to sell insurance to vessels that called at the Port of Lorath, a venture that his descendants have continued to do so to this day, many generations later. Very wealthy by Lorathi standards, the Ennahrans are the proud owners of the Valyrian Steel shortsword Tremor, which the current Prince of the Streets wears proudly at his waist.

### H'ghar

The current Fisher Prince, Vygaro is a member of the H'ghar Family, one of the most prolific families in Lorath. It is said that eight or nine separate family groups claim the title of Head of the H'ghars, and the family is prone to in-fighting, causing many of the younger members of the family to leave the Free City, seeking a life elsewhere. Despite this, H'ghars remain a common choice for the role of Princes and Magisters. Due to their frequency, there are around half a dozen smaller manses spread throughout the city that all show the heraldry of H'ghar at their gates.

### Mestir

A priestly family, the Mestirs are amongst the few that still keep to the teachings of Boash, although this is a dying trend, even within the family. At present, around half the Mestirs have donned the eyeless hoods of the followers of the cult religion, and are often deeply shunned by those who do not. They own a small manse in the southwestern side of the city, close to the harbour. The current Harvest Prince hails from the Mestir family.

After Qarlan Ennahran's seizure of power in 280 AC, the House of Mestir fell on troubled times with the death of Joran and Vogan Mestir. The presumptive heir, Delphine Mestir, lives on in exile.

### Tor'phal

Principal amongst the families specialising in the trade of velvet, the Tor'phal family has called Lorath their home for centuries, and own much of the city's land. They live within a manse in the south of the city, its gardens filled with blue winter rose and moonbloom. in 252AC, whilst serving as the Fisher Prince, Gylus Tor'phal was killed by an encounter with a leviathan, and his body never recovered.
Varqo Balarr

Daario Balarr

Serenei Balarr

Varqo Balarr was a member of the illustrious Balarr Family, and acted as the Head of the family for a number of years before his death in 266AC after collapse of part of the family home in Pryr during a great storm.

A ruthlessness businessman, Varqo sought to instil his values into that of his three sons and daughter, something in which he was largely successful, for the family has continued to do well since his demise under the leadership of his son, Vyrio.

## Appearance

With a long, gaunt face and close-trimmed black hair, Varqo's appearance reflected the functional nature of the man, who preferred an unassuming appearance to the flamboyant extravagance of the noblemen with which he did business.
Cedrik Grandison

Cedrik Grandison was a Stormlander that served in the Kingsguard of Aegon IV Targaryen and Daeron II Targaryen until his death in 196 AC.

He was the third Grandison to serve in the Kingsguard, serving many years after his ancestor Ormund Grandison. He died during the Blackfyre Rebellion, cut down by a knight of House Peake during the Battle of Redgrass Field.
The Shadow Lands

The Shadow Lands is a mountainous area in far-eastern Essos, of which little definite knowledge is known as very few outsiders to enter the lands return, and those that inhabit the area are a secretive, reclusive people.

## Geography

The city of Asshai is located at the southwestern tip of the Shadow Lands. To the north and northeast the Shadow Lands meets the Mountains of the Morn. Leng and the Manticore Isles in the Jade Sea are to the west and the Saffron Straits are to the south.

Ghost grass grows throughout the Shadow Lands. The ruined corpse city of Stygai, which even shadowbinders fear, lies at the heart of the Shadow, in which the Forbidden Library, a vast cavernous building magnitudes greater in terms of size and content than the Citadel of Oldtown, is said to be found.

Ancient tales from Asshai claim that dragons first originated in the Shadow and were first tamed by a people so ancient they had no name.

Some areas of the Shadow Lands are populated, as the maroon emperors of Yi Ti kept their court in Jinqi to better guard the borders of the empire from reavers from the Shadow Lands.These people are known as Shadow Men, and are known for covering their bodies in tattoos and wearing red lacquered wooden masks.
The Silver Laces

The Silver Laces is a pillowhouse in the town of Balarr, on the Stepstones island of Pryr.

It is found a short walk due south the quayside of the Mercantile Quarter and is owned by the Balarr Family, as with near everything else on the island.

## Layout

The Silver Laces is a large building of pale grey stone, the bricks polished and glazed to a smooth finish that catches the rising and falling sun at the start and end of each day. Outside the main entrance a lace-like pattern of silver embossment can be seen.

The building spans over three floors, two open to the public, although segregated into a series of rooms, and one, at the top which must be reserved. Typical prices range from the equivalent of a silver stag to several dozen golden dragons, depending on what is required.

For each ten coins paid, the Balarr family takes six, the owner three, and the service-provider one.
The Isle of Flies

The Isle of Flies is one of the Basilisk Isles, located on the western end of the archipelago, just north of the continent of Sothoryos.

## History

A century after the Red Death scoured the Basilisks, the Brotherhood of Bones settled on the Isle of Flies soon after Xandarro Xhore established on Ax Isle.

In recent years, the Basilisk Isles has been considered the territory of Ghiscar, although on most islands this is in naught but name. The Ghiscari have started attempts to rebuild the cities of Gogossos and Zamettar despite this.

## Recent History

A small fort has been constructed on the northern side of the Isle of Flies, built from the timber found upon the island. Called the Bloodfly Hold, it has exchanged hands nearly twenty times in the past decade.
Visenya Targaryen

Ser Jory Norcross

**Visenya Targaryen** was the sister of Aurion Targaryen, the second Bloodraven.

She was married three times in her short life; first to a rich Tyroshi merchant; then to a loyal Westerosi exile; and finally to a former Queensguard of Daena Blackfyre.

Her first two marriages were political, made to strengthen House Targaryen's position in Essos. However, following the death of Ser Jon Fossoway in the War of Unification, she fell in love with the captured knight Ser Jory Norcross.

The pair would marry and have one child, Jaehaerys Targaryen, before Visenya passed away after a brief period of illness.
The Lost Legion

The Lost Legion are a sellsword company based in Essos, primarily in Slaver's Bay. They have been known to seek contracts further afield however, and have fought for Volantis and Qohor in the past.

They are perhaps best known for their claimed Valyrian descent, although many have noted that their appearance seems more in line with the Iron Legions of Ghiscar, something that seems to be further strengthened by their predilection for the Ghiscari province.
Tristan Reyne

**Tristan Reyne** was the 995th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

He is a former noble of House Reyne, and the brother of Gerald Reyne.

## Biography

Tristan always thought of endless possibilities and wanted to try everything. He never gave up on anything once he set his sight on it and never feared the consequences.

After three years of working as his brother's Castellan, Tristan offered to take himself and all the prisoners in Castamere to the Night's Watch. When asked why, he said that it was a whim, knowing he couldn't stop him Gerald allowed Tristan to go, with a guard as he didn't feel safe leaving his brother alone with the criminals. Unexpectedly, Tristan was able to convert all 23 criminals to be loyal to him in the week and a half trip from Castamere to the Wall, he also convinced 6 of the 15 guards with him to join him at the Wall.

At the Wall, Tristan quickly amassed a large following among the men and became very popular. After nine years at the Wall, he ascended to Lord Commander of the Night's Watch with nearly half the black brothers being his fanatical supporters. His fame increased even further when he defeated the feared Bruda Snake-eyes, wildling chief Beyond the Wall. However, instead of simply dispersing the wildlings, Tristan offered them a choice - follow him and join the Night's Watch or go back beyond the Wall. Many of Bruda's followers became "crows" overnight.

After this act Night's Watch was split into two factions - ones who wanted to depose Tristan and ones who wanted to support him. Tristan's supporters included new men who had only joined in the recent years, former wildlings and the men who had joined at the same time as him, also some were criminals who were sent to the Wall. In the end, he won the conflict between the two parts of the Watch and made sure to send men to the castles that were deserted. He was able to man; Queensgate, Oakenshield, Sentinel Stand and Greenguard, with about 250-260 men each with it's own commander. This was an act that would make him extremely famous among the Night's Watch, finally starting to revive the once great order with loyal men and rebuilding it's castles.
The Deserted Rose

## The Deserted Rose Tavern

Tavern built by a Reachman in 250 AC within Kingslanding. It is a stately building, befitting the Reach. It's sigil is a pale-yellow rose, one could liken to the color of a fine Arbor Gold.It bears two stories, with a stone staircase near the back of the manse leading up to several stay rooms. There are only two private rooms available.

The Tavern's decorum is part of it's charm. The walls are littered with weapons and other memorabilia that one can assume has been curated and donated by various patrons or friends of the owner. The banner of House Blackfyre of Kingslanding sits on one side of the hearth and the banner of House Tyrell sits on the other.There is a grand map of the Reach also on the wall followed by portraits of famous Reach Lords and Knights and some Ladies even. Stone pillars support the second story, they are the same stone that makes up most of Kingslandng. Upon them sconces are always lit, providing light and warmth. There is a quaint kitchen in the tavern house as well. The menus is rotated through the seasons due to the easiness of ingredients but the ales are always available and the finest of Arbor Wines as well.
Yaros

Yaros is an island in Slaver's Bay, found to the southwest of the city of Yunkai and Meereen and north of Astapor.

It is remains largely uninhabited, baring a few small fishing villages.

## Recent History

In 263AC, the Astapori sought to colonise Yaros, much as the Yunkai'i and Meereenese had with the Isle of Cedars and the settlement of Vochar three years earlier. The attempts were talked down by Grazdan mo Shaqiz, who calls himself the Father of the Harpy, justifying his actions by explaining that Slaver's Bay should not be at war with each other when khalasars numbering in the tens of thousands still roamed in the lands to the north and east.

The provisions and resources set aside by the Astapori were put forwards to improvements of the road between the Slaver's cities.

Vyrano Prestayn

### Relatives

Illyrio Prestayn, brother, born 260 AC - Gift: DuelistVaren Prestayn, brother, born 269 AC - Gift: Strong

Lereya Prestayn, sister, born 262 AC - Gift: Altruist

## Biography:

Born to Tycho Prestayn and Taena Ormollen, he was raised in the lap of luxury in Braavos. His father had many associates in the Iron Bank, and the family never wanted for anything as they had for generations.

Early on in his life, it was realized Vyrano was exceptional with money. He gained a reputation as a "young magnate," with skills in tradecraft beyond compare.

However, things took a dark turn for his family. When Vyrano turned 16, he checked his family's finances to discover they were in debt, and in a rush, he left in the night, taking nothing more than a sword and a pack of food. His family started receiving packages of funds to help pay off their debt, and eventually the Prestayns began to prosper once more, as they began to trade with many forces outside of Braavos.

That said, Vyrano was now a young mercenary, found it quite enjoyable, and acquired tactical expertise and lessons on swordsmanship in the Company of the Cat. He served with them for nine years while they were on contract with various kings, archons, magisters and princes, including Triarch Nestoris of Tyrosh, and eventually rose to the rank of Captain.

Alas, this was not to last. In 280 AC, he was confronted by a courier from Braavos in his favored Tyroshi whorehouse. He gave Vyrano a package containing the ancestral blade of House Prestayn, Shipbreaker, and a letter from his father, telling him to return home and assume control of his house. It seemed to have been written by him hours before his death. He made his way north slowly, and eventually arrived at his family estate in Braavos.

He quickly asserted himself as a valuable asset to the Sealord, and was as such named a Commander of the land forces of Braavos, commanding the center. He has since returned to his island in the bay and has waited to be called upon by the Sealord.

The Battle at Canahs

The Battle at Canahs was the only true battle fought on the Lysene island itself during the whole of the War of Unification.

## Events

Hoping to replicate the success of the Battle of Salt and Sand, Tyroshi-Targaryen forces landed upon the western aspect of the island, whilst their fleet swept to the east, closer to the Free City itself, serving as both an attacking force and distraction. The landing was set up to fail before it had even commenced however, for the Commander of the Company of the Rose, one of the many companies fighting beneath the Targaryen banner, had received an immoderate quantity of gold for information and loyalty, and upon landing, the Company turned its blades upon those it had fought alongside.

Knowing of the intention to invade, but appreciating the value of a trap, the Lyseni legions had lain in wait for the Kingdom of the Three Daughters' troops to reach the island, and hearing the clash of steel as the Company of Rose attacked the landing vessels, moved in to reinforce the turncloak mercenaries.

Once the Company of the Rose's ploy was made plain, the remainder of the Tyroshi, Myrish and Targaryen footsmen started to land on the northern aspect of the island, hoping to flank the defending force, catching them unawares. Meeting with their foe outside the small fishing town of Canahs, located on the north-west aspect of the island, Daughtersmen and sellswords alike clashed, resulting in widespread damage and casualties. Near three and a half thousand mercenaries were killed, and near a third again in civilian casualties and hostages.

Hearing of the failed landing, the Captain of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters' fleet declared an immediate retreat to the outposts established in the Disputed Lands.
Morgan Young

**SPOILER WARNING: Plot details follow. *Caution is advised!***

**Morgan Young** is a young woman and a member of the Relief Corps.

## History

In 2016, Morgan was among those who threw a fundraiser for disaster relief. One night, she was attacked by an owl-faced being. Morgan screamed and fought back, and though most of her self-defense stood no chance, she was able to get free by using her pepper spray on him. She ran towards an approaching police patrol car and immediately reported the attack, but the creature had already gotten away.

This attack did not faze Morgan to the point of cancelling her event. The fundraiser continued as planned, where she was unknowingly watched by Shadowhunters in order to protect her and prevent the owl-faced man from attempting to possess her again. Despite their efforts to watch her all night, they lost track of her and found her outside the club too late as she had already been infected with a demon. Isabelle Lightwood chased after her, and they took her to the New York Institute, keeping the possessed Morgan in its lower levels' prison cells.

The Shadowhunters attempted to interrogate Morgan but received no answers. Due to her possession, Morgan became driven to kill someone she loved: in her case, her twin sister Sarah. The possession also transformed her cells, making her physiology demonic, which the Shadowhunters discovered after studying her. Because her capture had the potential to compromise Lilith's plans, Lilith had Jace, her owl minion, take care of it. Jace went to the floor she was being held in and cast a spell that removed her demonic possession, freeing Morgan, who woke shortly after Jace left.

Volon Therys

### Currency

Honors (Copper, Bronze, Silver and Gold) (Roughly equivalent to Pennies, Stars, Stags and Dragons respectively)

### Famed for

The Marble Towers

Volon Therys is a town in Essos on the west bank of the Rhoyne. It is surrounded by strong walls shaped from white stone.

It is ruled by the Triarchs of Volantis.

## Location

Located on the western bank of the Rhoyne, Volon Therys is almost directly across the river to the east lies the ruined Rhoynar city Sar Mell. To the north is Valysar, and Volantis is to the south along the Rhoyne.

It is a large town, comparable in size to Lannisport or Gulltown in Westeros, but is often considered in relation to the significantly larger Free City of Volantis.

## Layout

Running through the centre of the town is the Rhoyne, which carries a wealth down from the north, in particular timber from the city of Qohor. Dotted along the river's edge are dozens of timber yards, each dedicated to the processing of the wood before further transport down to Volantis and beyond.

* The Marble Towers - placed at the town's edges, six great towers of spiralling carved marble can be found, each depicting a key event in Volon Therys' history.
	+ The Founders' Tower - depicts the formation of the city by the Valyrian Freehold.
	+ The Turtle Tower - tells the story of the First Turtle War, during which the town was flooded.
	+ The Spice Tower - the carvings depict the Second Spice War, and the fall of the Rhoynar to the Valyrian Dragonlords.
	+ The Tiger's Tower - remembering the Volantene expansion under the Tiger Triarchs that eventually resulted in Volon Therys becoming little more than a subsidiary settlement of the Free City.
	+ The Horselord's Tower - while the Horsehold's tower does depict a great Khalasar, it serves the dual purpose of both a lookout for their approach, its position facing the Dothraki Sea, and a storeroom for the goods intended as tribute to stall their approach.
	+ The Blank Tower - currently untouched, the newest tower in the town has been dubbed the Blank Tower by Volon Therys' residents.

**SPOILER WARNING: Plot details follow. *Caution is advised!***

## Alec Lightwood

**Alec Lightwood** is the brother of Isabelle Lightwood and a friend of Clary Morgenstern in the alternate dimension.

## History

Alec was first seen having coffee with Isabelle, Simon, and Clary outside Java Jace, a coffee truck operated by Jace Wayland. When Clary—who, unbeknownst to them, was not the Clary they knew but was in fact a Clary from another dimension—inquired about the anniversary party of the tech company Institute, Alec feigned indignation that she seemed unprepared for the party he threw, which he loudly proclaimed to be amazing.

Later at the party, he found Magnus being refused entry by Raj. He immediately overrode the decision, allowed Magnus in the party, and brought him a drink. Though Magnus quickly took off to find Clary due to his responsibilities, Alec expressed interest to pursue him further.

## Personality

Alec is confident, well-dressed, and is an openly gay man comfortable in his mannerisms and lifestyle — almost an exact opposite of his more reserved dimensional counterpart.

## Trivia

* Though the Alec in the other dimension initially struggled with his feelings towards Magnus, in this dimension, Alec was the one to quickly proclaim romantic interest in Magnus. He seems to be experienced in dating and unabashedly checked Magnus out multiple times during their first meeting. He inadvertently repeated several sentences uttered by Magnus in the other dimension, including "To us" when toasting with the other, and "Playing hard to get. I love a challenge."

The Clash of Fire and Stars

The Clash of Fire and Stars in the name given to the battle that took place just south of the Pentosi town of Mantalos in 232AC, following tensions between followers of the Lord of Light and the Church of Starry Wisdom.

## Prelude

In 232AC, in response to the growing presence of the Church of Starry Wisdom in the western Free Cities, most noticeably Pentos and the newly formed town of Mantalos, the Triarchs sent a force to sack the town, following pressure from the followers of the Lord of Light, who saw the unfamiliar and supposedly sinister religion as a direct threat to their own. As the High Priest of the Temple proclaimed that followers of the Church were servants of the Great Other, the Triarchs found themselves forced to respond, and hired the Company of the Cat to destroy the church to appease the residents of the city.

## The Clash

Outward scouts spotted the approach of the Company of the Cat, nearly three thousand strong and bolstered by Volantene weapons and armour on a day in the eleventh moon of 232AC, and raced back to the town to alert the defenders. Pentos, prohibited from hiring sellsword companies by the agreements signed with Braavos after the wars at the turn of the second century after Aegon's Conquest, scrabbled to marshal forces enough to defend the town, entering into a secret contract with the Brazen Titans, a lesser known company travelling from Andalos towards Myr at the time.

Through miraculous result, the Brazen Titans, although suffering near 80% casualties, threw back the attackers, saving the city. The battle raged for a full night and day, and the final blow dealt as the sun began to set for the second time, something that many took to be proof of divine intervention for the sake of the Church's followers and holdfast in the west.

## Aftermath

Previously largely unknown, the Brazen Titans were propelled towards fame and renown for their actions, with many comparing the battle and its participants to that of the Three Thousand of Qohor. Despite the great diminishment of their numbers, the company soon surged in numbers of men seeking to join their ranks. After the battle, the commander of the company modified his personal banner, adding a falling star to the sigil, a broadsword wielding giant in the foreground.

The Brazen Titans would go onto receive near continuous renewal of existing contracts, until their eradication during the War of Unification.
The Plains of the Jogos Nhai

The Plains of the Jogos Nhai is a vast region in northern Essos beyond the Bone Mountains. It is, as the name suggests, inhabited by the Jogos Nhai, a nomadic culture of mounted warriors that have raided the lands of the Golden Empire of Yi Ti for centuries.

## Geography and Topography

The plains are situated in Essos, east of the Great Sand Sea and the Howling Hills, north of Yi Ti and the Shrinking Sea, and west of N'Ghai and the Bleeding Sea. To the north is Leviathan Sound and the Shivering Sea.

The region represents a vast area of flat grasslands, varied only by the presence of gentle hills and small rocky peaks that score the orange, green and brown grasses.

### Wildlife

* Zorses (the Jogos Nhai's infamous mount)
* Giraffes (spotted things with necks as long as stilts)
* Spotted bears
* Striped snow cats
* Deers
* Tree cats
* Eagles
* Aurochs

### Cities

* Jholughai - The capital of the plains, it is located in the heart of the region. The city is said to open trade to the outside world (except Yi Ti) and most of the traders came from Qarth, Vaes Dothrak, Ibben, Asshai, The Bone Mountains, but rarely Westeros, The Free Cities, and Slaver's Bay.

## Recent History

For the past twenty years, the azure God-Emperors of Yi Ti have scoured the lands nearest their northern borders, slaughtering all in their path, much akin to the attempts of the scarlet God-Emperors Lo Han and Lo Bu many years prior. Conservative estimates seem to suggest that over four million Jogos Nhai tribesmen have fallen beneath the blade and hooves of his host of hundreds of thousands, representing a near extinction of the people.

In the meanwhile however, the city of Qarth has pressed their advantage against their distracted neighbour and conquered the lands upon Yi Ti's western border. Rumours seem to suggest that Bu Shi plans on marching his force to meet them, leaving the conquest of Jogos Nhai for when the more immediate threat is managed.
The Battle of Lys

The land battle of Lys began following two naval battles in the sea of Lys. The forces involved were between the The Kingdom of the Three Daughters and the city of Lys supported by Volantis.

## Nohairs Gambit

Before the siege, Vogan Nestoris attempted to persuade the nobles of Lys to open. All but one sided with Lys, however. The House of Nohair attempted to open the gates, but where thwarted by the forces loyal to Taelar and Staegone. Following their capture, the entire family was put to death by elephants, in an act of cruelty matched only by Vogan Nestoris.

## Phase 1: The Siege

The Siege of Lys began early when the Three Daughters led an attack upon the gates of Lys, taking several thousands of losses. Ultimately, they were victorious in bringing down the gates of the city.

The defenders themselves took minimal losses, though, their city was penetrated and the end drew near.

## Phase 2: The Battle

Leading into the city, thousands of men poured into the gates and slowly began pushing the Lyseni and Volantenes back. During the battle, the already maimed Balliphos lost another leg and arm during the fight. Though the battle was won, a death that would rock the Three Daughters for the coming future.

In the battle, the burnt Vogan Nestoris found Staegone. The two men fought with Valyrian Steel, the clash of dragons against dragons. During their fight, Nestoris lost his maimed arm, and was killed by Staegone, bringing an end to the reign of Vogan Nestoris.

## Aftermath

Though the battle was won, Staegone captured, and the nobles of Lys at the mercy of the Kingdom of Three Daughters it came at a high price. Vogan Nestoris, Supreme Chancellor of the Three Daughters and Triarch of Tyorsh, was dead. Rushing back to Tyrosh, Vyrio Balarr began to make plans with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Beliphos for the future of the Three Daughters, Essos, and the Nestoris family. In Tyrosh, Joricho Nestoris, Daario Balarr, Baelon Rogare and Aran Vhassyl discussed the future of the city, the Three Daughters and the Westerosi.
The Rogare Bank

The Rogare Bank is a bank based in Lys, run by the powerful Rogare family.

## History

The Rogare Bank was started by Lyrio Rogare, a spice merchant, who would provide loans to sailors and fellow merchants to assist them in the purchase of mercantile cogs, in exchange for a cut of the profits generated by the trade journeys they partook in. With time, Lyrio and his sons grew increasingly wealthy, and began construction on what would become the Rogare Bank, a maze of towers hewn from dark grey stone on the southern aspect of the city.

After the death of Lysandro Rogare, called Lysandro the Magnificent in 133AC, the Rogare Bank began to decline in power, and was soon eclipsed by the Braavosi-based Iron Bank in terms of preference for the wealthy and those in need of wealth of Westeros and Essos alike. However, following the War of Unification, the Bank has made a recent resurgence in power, and while it is still not able to rival that of Braavos, its popularity amongst lords and magisters alike continues to grow. From this, the Rogare family has grown very wealthy once again, and are considered by many to be amongst the most powerful individuals in Lys, if not all of the Free Cities.
