## History

### Early Life

Born in 470 AC to Lord Lanjon Harrower III and Lady Alisyn Harrower, Lanjon was both their firstborn and their only son, and furthermore, their only child. Lady Alisyn had a great deal of trouble carrying children to term, and had a number of stillbirths and miscarriages before and after Lanjon was born. Lanjon spent the first few years of his life in his family's ancestral home of Griffin's Roost, before being sent to be fostered by the Coldstarks of Winterfell. Lanjon grew up alongside Eddard Coldstark, who was two years his senior, and the two boys became quite close as they grew into men together, resulting in them becoming the best of friends, a friendship that would last for many years to come. The duo traversed the majority of the North together, going on all manner of adventures and visiting most of the keeps in the region, as well as journeying both to and beyond The Wall.

From an early age, Lanjon demosntrated his proficiency with a blade, and earned something of a reputation for his skill in a few small tourneys that he participated in. However, this small bit of notoriety was greatly tempered by the boy's humility, and he would soon refuse to fight in any more tourneys, as he did not enjoy the attention that it garnered. At the age of nineteen, he would be called back to Griffin's Roost, to serve his own household once again, as his father felt that he had spent long enough in the North to be considered a man, and that it was time for him to return home to the Stormlands. This marked the end of his adventures in the North, and the beginning of his manhood.

### Adulthood

After being recalled to Griffin's Roost, Lanjon would soon be married to a Lady of a Minor House in the Stormlands. He would go on to assist his father in ruling the lands that their house held, fighting off any threats to said lands. When Lanjon was twenty-two years old, his father's health began to fail, and he became too ill to properly perform his administrative duties, thus forcing Lanjon to act as Regent of Griffin's Roost, until his father's passing three years later, at which point Lanjon assumed the title of Lord of Griffin's Roost. He would proceed to rule over his piece of the Stormlands in relatively peace, until years later, when Ironborn raids would ravage the coasts.

Reavers who had rebelled against House Saltpyre, following the example set by the treacherous Lord Harald Valvarious, attacked the coasts of the Stormlands, resulting in the murder of Lanjon's wife, whilst she was on a walk outside the walls of Griffin's Roost, leaving the Lord of said keep a widower, though she had borne him a few children before her passing. From there, Harrower dedicated himself to combatting the threat posed by the renegade raiders, slaughtering a number of their forces, and sinking several of their ships, the most notable instance being when he used one of House Harrower's warships, *R'hllor's Vengeance*, to pursue an Ironborn raiding party from the Stormlands, down around Dorne, all the way back to the Iron Islands, catching them just short of their destination, and taking them down alongside Lord Kaeron Saltpyre's crew, upon the *Deepstrider*. He would then accompany Kaeron's party on their journey, travelling to Deepwood Motte.
