Isle of Women

The Isle of Women is one of the fifteen islands that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.

## Description

Before the landing of Nymeria and the Rhoynar, the Isle of Women was referred to by the name of Abulu. The northernmost of the Summer Isles, the island has remained sparsely populated since the Years of Shame, in which slavers ravaged the island, seeking to enslave and sell the Islanders who called Abulu their home. Eventually, those few that remained upon the island opting instead to move south, to Walano, Koj and Omboru, and thus further from the grasp of galleys from Ghiscar, Valyria and the Basilisk Isles. Whilst only the boldest corsairs from Talon and the Isle of Flies to the east dare enter the range of the Goldenheart bows of the Swan Ships patrolling the islands, the Isle of Women is amongst the least populous of the isles.

When Nymeria came to the Summer Isles with her people on their great exile, they were allowed to settle on the Isle of Women, then known as Abulu. It became known as the Isle of Women because of Nymeria’s followers, a large part of whom were women. However, the island was too small and sparse to support such a large population, and Nymeria soon left it with her people. However, several thousand of her followers chose to remain on the Island, and their Rhoynar descendants can be found there to this day.
House Magnar

**House Magnar of Kingshouse**is a lordly house located on the Island of Skagos. In the days of petty kings, the Magnars ruled as the Lords of Kingshouse until their subjagation by House Stark, the Winter Kings. Despite this, however, the Magnars remain the strongest of the Skagosi houses, especially at sea.

The sigil of Skagos is a green lobster armed with a black harpoon, standing on a field of white. This symbolizes the Magnar's connection with the sea. Their words, "*Old Blood, Ready Blade",*speak of the Skagosi's fierce nature, and their unbroken line of descent from the First Men.

Merchants from across the Known World call port in the illustrious wharves and ports found in the bay around which the city is built, each named after a different spice.

The Saffron Port is particularly busy.
Voidium

Los **voidium** son una raza de seres humanoides, aparecidos en Mir desde hace unos años.

También llamados «cuerpohueco», palabra empleada con desprecio por aquellos que advierten lo que son y sienten recelo al hacerlo, intentan pasar desapercibidos para evitar que nadie abuse de ellos, viviendo en las montañas, a las afueras de las grandes ciudades o en las alcantarillas de las mismas. Por muchos habitantes del mundo, esta extraña raza es juzgada como aberración debido a su asombroso parecido al ser humano, sin llegar a serlo. Por ello, muchos voidium son difíciles de advertir para el ojo humano a simple vista.

La manera más sencilla de identificar a un voidium es fijarse en sus gestos. Por lo general, hacen movimientos involuntarios con su cuerpo: puede ser un tono de voz cambiante, una forma de respirar peculiar o una secuencia concreta de parpadeos entre otros indicadores, depende de cada individuo. También es posible identificarlos porque, a diferencia de los humanos, su pelo y su piel parecen estar hechos de una textura distinta, casi artificial.

Nadie sabe lo que son, ni qué están buscando, ni de dónde salieron ni cuándo lo hicieron. Lo único que los habitantes de Mir saben, es que cada vez hay más, y algunos empiezan a tener miedo por las posibles repercusiones de sus propios actos vejatorios hacia ellos.
Anlos

Anlos is a walled city located upon the river flowing from Long Lake, just south of the Pentoshi Flatlands.

It is currently ruled by the Free City of Myr, although a group of individuals termed the Justiciars operate in the city under guidance of the Myrish Magisters.

## Location and Geography

Located north of Myr along the Trader's Road, Anlos in positioned just to the southwest of Long Lake. To the north the Pentoshi Flatlands can be found, and to the east are the Velvet Hills.

## Layout

* Thorn Plaza - Located in the north of the city, the Thorn Plaza serves as the central hub for vendors and traders, who fill the open space with stalls and stands. It is also the location of the Last Struggle, a large set of gallows.
* Seat of the Justiciars - Built around a central golden-domed tower, the Seat is a building shaped from pale stone brick and occupied by the Justiciars, the appointed custodians of the city. Surrounded by a large garden filled with pools and alcoves, it provides familiar surroundings for any Magister or nobleman that vists the city.

## History

Whilst a town has long existed near Long Lake, it was after the years when Myr, Tyrosh and Lys existed as the Triarchy of the Three Daughters that Anlos quickly began to prosper, following further constructions ordered during the wars between the Triarchy and Pentos.

Located upon the Trader Road between Myr and Pentos, it quickly grew rich from the commerce associated with the two Free Cities.

## Recent History

Myr and Pentos have enjoyed many years of prosperous commerce along the Trader's Road, and as a result the city of Anlos has grown much over the last century, particularly so in the last decade or so.

While still small compared to the Free Cities, it now has surpassed most of the towns of Westeros, and given another decade or so may overtake White Harbour or Lannisport in terms of population.
Gorosh

Gorosh is a ruined city on the northern coast of Sothoryos, found at the tip of the peninsula known as Wyvern's Point.

It was founded by the Ghiscari Empire as a penal colony, but after the wars with the Valyrians, the city was abandoned, and has fallen into ruin. The surrounding forest has all but reclaimed the settlement.
Cregas

Cregas, known more widely as the Ivory King, was arguably the single most powerful pirate to ever have lived. His wealth was comparable to that of the wealthiest Magisters of the Free Cities, and his actions and empire were the cause of the recent and widespread Ivory War, to which he lends his name.

## History

The first recorded note of Cregas' existence was as a follower of the formidable Corsair-Queen Kalia, being supposedly responsible for her demise. Taking the vast collection of ivory that she had horded, he started to sell the substance as an aphrodisiac through a number of black markets and syndicate organisations across the Known World.

With his wealth came attention, and while Cregas enjoyed and entertained Magisters and Masters alike for a time, when news reached the Pureborn that he supposedly planned to take the city of Port Yhos for himself, they raided the isles under the command of the Golden Manticore, sending Cregas and his supporters fleeing into the ruins of the city of Gogossos. The attack and his new surroundings stirred increasing paranoia in the Ivory King, and after counselings with warlocks and bloodmages, he decided to search for the cure of his turmoil within the Green Hell.

He did not return.

The Ivory King was no more, and yet the Ivory War had only truly just begin in earnest.
Golden Haven

Golden Haven is one of the fourteen major Stepstones islands in the Narrow Sea.

## History

Heralded as the most idyllic of the typically storm-ravaged Stepstones, Golden Haven is a small island nestled within the bay of the larger island Guardian, which protects the isle from the worst of the weather. As such, the island is home to a wide range of fauna and flora perhaps more at home to the Summer Isles than the Stepstones.

It is a popular site for smuggling dens.

 Recent History

In 313AC, a Corsair King invaded the Stepstones, and quickly forged an Alliance with King Renly Baratheon upon the Iron Throne. The treaty would last a decade before finally the increasing demands from the Corsair eventually drove the two Kings apart.

In 323AC, the fleet of the Corsair King attacked Greenstone, raiding the port and the surrounding town. Lord Estermont was sent fleeing for his life as the Corsair King warned more attacks will follow if his demands are not met. As the Redwyne and Martell fleets sailed for Bloodstone, Renly and his Master of Ships Montererys Velaryon gave chase to the Corsair King, but were ambushed near Ghaston Grey. Through a narrow victory, the Royal Fleet sent the pirates fleeing for the Stepstones, where they would linger and give trouble to the Westerosi forces for the best part of a year.

Bloodstone eventually fell after nearly a year of fighting, marking the end of the Reign of the Corsair King. As the rest of the isles fell under control of King Baratheon, there are some that believe the Corsair escaped, but no evidence has ever been found to confirm this. Lady Evelyn Longwaters is named ruler of Golden Haven, but by a decade or two later, all control over the isles by the Iron Throne had been lost.

## Features

Located within the Velvet Hills and situated upon the Little Rhoyne before it joins with the Rhoyne proper, Ghoyan Drohe has been ruined for nearly a thousand years, although little effort at rebuilding has ever been attempted.

Within the broken walls, nature has taken over the ruins, and branching and creeping plants spread across the shattered stone. Nearly two hundred different variants of flowers and bushes can be found in the abandoned gardens.

## Recent History

In 339AC, a company of sellswords found a horde of treasure within the ruined city of Ghoyan Drohe, and quickly turned on each other fighting over the choicest items. Travellers found the grisly scene left in their wake, and found evidence that the riches once belonged to Illyrio Mopatis, the Pentoshi Magister who was mobbed in the street when he tried to return to the Free City after the defeat of the Dragon Queen in the War of the Exiles.
Festival of Prosperity

The Festival of Prosperity is an annual event that takes place in the Free City of Pentos, and is intended to bring prosperity to the city for another year by the ritual deflowering of the Maidens of Sea and Field by the Prince of Pentos, as well as a series of celebrations.

It runs for the duration of the first moon each year.

## Format

The celebrations run for the entirety of a moon, and is split into four, relatively non-discrete phases that roughly correspond with each week included.

* The Seeding of the Fields - the first week of celebrations takes it theme from the first of the two maidens to be deflowered, the Maiden of the Fields. It is customary for those wealthy enough to do so to wear clothes of green, yellow and brown, and carry pouches of seeds around their neck. Every time they meet an individual who does not share in their colour scheme, it is customary to shower the person in a small handful of said seeds, in an attempt to shame them for their lack of revelry.
* The Taming of the Seas - the second week of festivities takes a similar approach to the first week, but browns and greens are traded for fabrics of blue and grey, and the pouch of seeds for a pocket filled with salt crystals.
* The Carousal of the People - the third week of celebration is more inclusive of the city as a whole, and includes a day when no free man may work or toil, instead their focus should be only on food, drink and music. This day of rest does not typically extend to the free-bond servants of the city.
* The Revelry of the Prince - the final week of roistering centres around a great party hosted by the Prince himself, to which all that own land within the city are welcome to attend and enjoy. Musicians and performers play at all hours of the day, but the Prince is barred from partaking until the final day, in representation to his dedication to the city's wellbeing.
Maelys Maegyr

Maelys Maegyr is a member of the Maegyr family of the Old Blood of Volantis. He is most famous for being Triarch of Volantis during the Ivory War, elected after the demise of the Elephant Triarch Laerys Vaelaros.

## History

After the death of Laerys Vaelaros, the two remaining Triarchs Vaelar Aerteris and Taeros Qoheros agreed that it was the Lyseni behind the popular Triarch's demise, declaring the death a deliberate assassination at the hands of House Pendaerys, Ormellon and Vhassyl.

Such accusations lead to many of the events in the Ivory War.

Shortly afterwards, Maelys was elected, the first time in nearly 400 years that two Tiger Triarchs have ruled in Volantis.
Legion of the Jade Dagger

The Legion of the Jade Dagger is an ancient sellsword company, hailing from Yi Ti. For centuries the Legion has served as a refuge for YiTish nobles and warriors in the disputed lands, regardless the reason for their presence so far from the homeland.

The Legion holds true to the strict caste system of Yi Ti, where both role within the company and dynastic ties greatly affect the respect a member is afforded by his peers and commanders. To this end, it is rare for members of the lower castes to reach the upper echelons of the Legion whilst many of nobles are often recruited straight into such ranks. There have been exceptions, but these are few and far between.

Garnet Gang

The Garnet Gang was a Thieves Guild that appeared in Tyrosh in the year 357AC. They got their name from their preferred target, garnets, particularly so those mounted and pressed into necklaces and rings of the noble and wealthy.

## History

While a number of thief syndicates have operated in the Free City of Tyrosh over the years, none seemed to have been quite so suddenly prolific as those that would be given the name the Garnet Gang by the smallfolk and heralds alike. The Archon of Tyrosh at the time responded by not seeking out the Guild-members directly, but instead stripping the Captain of the City Watch of his office, and declaring the one to break the Gang would be given the title in his place.

The thefts quickly stopped shortly afterwards, but no supposedly leader was ever caught or otherwise brought to justice.
Lhazareen

The Lhazareen are a nation of livestock shepherds that have colonised an area of semi-arid grassland named the Lhazar. They are a peaceful people, and as such fall prey to to many other peoples of the world, none more so than the Dothraki.

## People and Culture

The Lhazareen have bronze-toned skin, dark hair, and trusting almond-shaped eyes. Slightly shorter than the average man, their lifestyle tending to slowly grazing animals leads many to be squat, unrushed in their pace.

Their language is spoken in a flowing song-like verse, so when they call for their flock, it may sound like they are singing to the hills.

Their towns and houses are made of thick dried mud, built in both squares and massive domes like onions.

The Lhazareen worship the Great Shepherd, the primary teaching of the religion being that all peoples of the Known World are of one flock. This belief forms the basis of their peaceful lifestyle. Priestesses of the Great Shepherd are called Godswifes, and outside of performing religious services, they also function as healers and midwifes.

## Cities

There are three cities within the realm of Lhazar, Hesh, Lhazosh and Kosrak.

* Hesh - Found northwest of Lhazosh and west of Kosrak. A trade route from Hesh extends through the Khyzai Pass to Meereen and served as a primary means of commerce, through which the Lhazareen sell wool, leather, meat and milk to the cities of the Bay of Dragons. The city is surrounded by two walls of tall wooden palisades and a shallow ditch around the city.
* Lhazosh - Located southeast of Hesh and southwest of Kosrak, the city has one wall, but is also protected with a moat, the water rediverted from a nearby river, upon which the settlement is built.
* Kosrak -Built on a tributary of the Skahazadhan river, it is east of Hesh and northeast of Lhazosh. Kosrak is the most established of the Lhazareen cities, surrounded by a low stone wall and a ditch filled with stakes. Trade with Meereen is achieved through river cogs travelling down to the Skahazadhan river and its estuary into the Bay of Dragons.

## Territory

The largest island of Ibben is Ib, a forested and mountainous island containing the cities Port of Ibben and Ib Nor. South of Ib are scattered islands in the Bay of Whales. Southeast of Ib is a moderately-sized mountainous island called Far Ib, containing the city Ib Sar.

South of the Ibbenese islands on the mainland of Essos are the cities of Ibbish and New Ibbish, situated on a forested peninsula north of the Kingdom of Rwhah Drekhta, and to the west the settlements of Ib Alo and Ib Nes can be found.

## People

The people of Ibben are hairy and squat, with rasping voices, and both genders hunt in the Shivering Sea for whales in great fat-bellied cogs smeared with tar. They are said to be fond of axes and shaggy brown shields lined with fur.

The ports are lit by lamps of whale oil, and attended to regularly by slaves who ensure that the supply never runs low.

K'Dath

K'Dath is a semi-legendary city supposedly located in the far east of Essos. It lies past the Bleeding Sea and the Plains of the Jogos Nhai, and is thought by many to be nothing more than myth.

## History

Little is known about the history of K'Dath, as the city has a fearsome reputation. Few dare to travel there and fewer, if any, leave alive. The inhabitants of K'Dath claim that the city is the oldest and greatest in the world, claiming power beyond imagination. K'Dath is said to be the site of violent, unspeakable rituals designed to slake the hunger of the mad gods its inhabitants worship.
House Mooton

**House Mooton of Maidenpool** is a noble house from the riverlands. Their seat of Maidenpool is one of the main ports and trade centers of the Bay of Crabs. According to legend, this was the location where Florian the Fool saw Jonquil for the first time while she was bathing with her sisters.

Their blazon is a red salmon on white, over a white field with a golden tressure. Their motto is Wisdom and strength.

The head of House Mooton holds the title of Warden of the Eastern Borders, responsible for securing the eastward borders of the Trident against invasion or intrusion.

### Hundred Kingdoms

The Mootons were petty kings in the days of the First Men. The Storm King Monfryd the Mighty defeated a Mooton king and conquered Maidenpool prior to the Andal invasion. King Florian the Brave was killed by Andals in the Fall of Maidenpool. The Mootons of Maidenpool were within the domains of Kings Benedict I Justman and King Torrence Teague, although the riverlands eventually passed first to the Storm Kings under King Arlan III Durrandon and then to House Hoare under King Harwyn Hardhand.

Maidenpool historically failed to conquer Crackclaw Point.

### Targaryen Era

During Aegon's Conquest Lord Mooton joined Lord Darklyn in opposing Aegon the Conqueror, but both were slain fighting against Aegon's dragons and Orys Baratheon. Lord Mooton's brother, Jon Mooton, then yielded to Aegon. Jon supported the Targaryens in the Field of Fire, slaying men who tried to escape the dragons.

During the Faith Militant uprising, Lord Mooton slew Lord Rupert Falwell in the battle at the Great Fork.

The Mootons began the Dance of the Dragons on the side of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and the blacks. Lord Walys Mootonrecaptured Rook's Rest for the blacks, but was then slain in a failed attempt to kill King Aegon II Targaryen's dragon, Sunfyre. His brother, Lord Manfryd Mooton, hosted the dragonriders Prince Daemon Targaryen and the dragonseed Nettles, for a time. Manfryd aligned with Aegon and the greens after refusing Rhaenyra's order to kill Nettles. Rhaenyra ordered that a decree of attainder be drawn up against the Mootons, but she soon lost power after the Storming of the Dragonpit. Manfryd served as a regent for King Aegon III Targaryen until his death in 134 AC.

When Lord Bloodraven marched on Whitewalls to quash the Second Blackfyre Rebellion, among the river lords who came in support was Lord Mooton.

### Robert's Rebellion

House Mooton sided with King Aerys II Targaryen against their liege lord, Hoster Tully, the Lord Paramount of the Trident, during Robert's Rebellion. Ser Myles Mooton, who had been Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's squire, was slain by Lord Robert Baratheon at the Battle of the Bells.
Mar Árido de Rodetter

El **Mar Árido de Rodetter**, también conocido simplemente como el Mar Árido, es una vasta extensión arenosa ubicada en el noroeste de la región de Drist.

A diferencia de la tierra infértil de la región, rígida y envuelta de rocas, el Mar Árido está compuesto de fina arena, y pocos se atreven a aventurarse en él porque la supervivencia se termina volviendo insostenible. Los únicos que se acercan a este desierto son los harailes, ya acostumbrados al clima, permitiéndoles asentarse en distintos campamentos para llevar a cabo sus planes sin que nadie vaya a descubrirlos.
Gogossos

Gogossos, once known as Gorgai, is a ruined city on the Isle of Tears, the largest of the Basilisk Isles. It lies on the southern coast of the island, facing the continent of Sothoryos.

## History

The Old Empire of Ghis founded the city under the name of Gorgai. The Ghiscari held Gorgai for between two and four centuries until the Valyrian Freehold captured it during the Third Ghiscari War and renamed it Gogossos. The dragonlords used it as a penal colony for the worst criminals. New methods of torture were used and blood magic is said to have been practiced, including slave women being forced to mate with beasts to produce twisted, half-human offspring.

Gogossos grew powerful through slavery and sorcery during the Century of Blood, with some calling it the "Tenth Free City". Its slave markets became as notorious as those of the cities of Slaver's Bay. Seventy-seven years after the Doom of Valyria, however, the Red Death emerged from the slave pens of Gogossos and swept from the Isle of Tears and to the rest of the Basilisks. Nine of every ten men died from the plague.

## Recent History

Following the attack against his kingdom by The Golden Manticore, the Ivory King Cregas took the remainder of his supporters and fled for the ruined city of Gogossos. The powdered ivory produced within the ruined walls was supposedly more potent than ever, but proved fatal to near all that used it.

Among these victims would be Laerys Vaelaros, whose death would lead to the widespread bloodshed that most consider to be the true events of the Ivory War.
House Celtigar

House Celtigar of Claw Isle rules Claw Isle, an island in the narrow sea off the coast of Crackclaw Point. The Celtigars are historically sworn to Dragonstone within the Crownlands.

## History

House Celtigar is an ancient and proud house, with the blood of old Valyria in its veins. Crispian Celtigar served as master of coin to Aegon I Targaryen. The Celtigars claim dominion over Crackclaw Point, but the inhabitants do not acknowledge their claim. When they surrendered peacefully to Visenya Targaryenduring the War of Conquest, the people of Crackclaw were officially freed from pledging fealty to anyone but the Iron Throne. The Celtigars occasionally send men there to collect taxes. If Lord Celtigar sends enough collectors, a few come back to him.

During the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Bartimos Celtigar sat on the black council to Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.

The Celtigars' castle is rumored to hold fabulous treasures that bear witness to their wealth. Among Lord Ardrian Celtigar's property there are Myrish carpets, Volantene glass, gold and silver plate, jeweled cups, magnificent hawks, a trained sea eagle, an axe of Valyrian steel, chests of rubies, a horn said to summon krakens from under the sea, and many fine wines
Ax Isle

Ax Isle is the easternmost island of the Basilisk Isles, which are off the northern coast of Sothoryos. To the north lies New Ghis, across the Summer Sea.

## History

There are ruins from a possibly ancient civilisation on the island. Ax Isle also contains ruins of the black fort of Xandarro Xhore.

Some of Nymeria's ten thousand ships were attacked by corsairs from Ax Isle. Afterwards, the corsairs offered the Rhoynar to settle upon the Isle of Toads, on the condition that they give up their boats and that they send each king thirty virgin girls and pretty boys per year, but Nymeria refused.

## Recent History

Between 356AC and 359AC, Ax Isle was ruled over by the Corsair-Queen Kalia, who took a set of blackened teeth on a field of red for her banner. She was killed by one of her captains, a man called Cregas who would become known more widely as the Ivory King.
Ib Nor

Ib Nor is one of the main fishing and trading hubs of the Isle of Ib. Compared to the Port of Ibben, however, it is minuscule and poor.

## History

Ib Nor was founded many years ago after the Port of Ib, after a break in the raiders and merchants of Ib.

The merchants and raiders that settled in the north named it Ib Nor, meaning "The Port of the North." Due to its position far into the Shivering Sea, it has not been raided or sacked by any non-native in the last five centuries.

## Layout

* The Fishing Town - The major trade hub of the city, the so-called Fishing Town is where merchants and fishermen from the Shivering Sea come to trade and sell their foods and wares to the people of Ib Nor. Foreign ships are rare in these parts, instead opting to dock at the Port of Ibben.

* The Raider's Ale - A brewhouse and salt-house, The Raider's Ale was once exclusive to just raiders of Ib. However, over the last decades, it was taken over by the commonfolk of the city, garnering new business and coin for the current owners.

## Recent History

A battered vessel crashed into the harbourside of Ib Nor near the start of 375AC. Those few crew still aboard were covered in wounds, but more curiously frozen solid and covered in hoarfrost. Claims of an ice dragon have naturally been matters of gossip throughout the settlement.
House Jordayne

**House Jordayne of the Tor** is one of the principal noble houses of Dorne. The Tor is placed on the southern coast of the Sea of Dorne.

Their blazon is a golden quill on checkered dark and light green. Their words are "Let it be Written".

## History

House Jordayne was founded during the coming of the Andals to Dorne, along with Houses Allyrion, Martell, Qorgyle, Santagar, House Uller, and Vaith.

At some point, House Martell bent the knee to the Jordayne kings of the Tor. By the time of Nymeria's War, House Jordayne was among the bannermen of King Yorick Yronwood, and they fought against Lord Mors Martell and his Rhoynar allies.
Canahs

### Currency

Wenches, Damsels, Maidens (1 Wench = 5 Copper Pennies. 3 Damsels = 1 Silver Stag. 10 Maidens = 1 Golden Dragon.)

Canahs is a large fishing town, located on the northwestern aspect of the Lysene island.

## Recent History

It was a member of the Vhassyl family that first founded the city of Canahs, and it was through their defence of the valuable fishing port against raiders and pirates from the Stepstones that the family built their reputation for being capable generals and admirals alike.
Dustspear

Dustspear is one of the fourteen major islands that make up the Stepstones.

## History

Named for a forgotten cache of Rhoynar spears, found within a cave at the centre of the island, supposedly left shortly before Nymeria’s arrival to Westeros, Dustspear is one of the smaller major islands, and the closest of any to the Westerosi mainland.

 Recent History

In 313AC, a Corsair King invaded the Stepstones, and quickly forged an Alliance with King Renly Baratheon upon the Iron Throne. The treaty would last a decade before finally the increasing demands from the Corsair eventually drove the two Kings apart.

In 323AC, the fleet of the Corsair King attacked Greenstone, raiding the port and the surrounding town. Lord Estermont was sent fleeing for his life as the Corsair King warned more attacks will follow if his demands are not met. As the Redwyne and Martell fleets sailed for Bloodstone, Renly and his Master of Ships Montererys Velaryon gave chase to the Corsair King, but were ambushed near Ghaston Grey. Through a narrow victory, the Royal Fleet sent the pirates fleeing for the Stepstones, where they would linger and give trouble to the Westerosi forces for the best part of a year.

Bloodstone eventually fell after nearly a year of fighting, marking the end of the Reign of the Corsair King. As the rest of the isles fell under control of King Baratheon, there are some that believe the Corsair escaped, but no evidence has ever been found to confirm this. Master Salloreon Sol is named ruler of Dustspear, but by a decade or two later, all control over the isles by the Iron Throne had been lost.
Gral

**Gral** es un pueblo perteneciente a la región de Drist, cuya ubicación actúa como frontera entre esta y la de Nirvaoth. Es el pueblo situado en la parte más oriental de la región.

Desde que fueron instalados, el acceso más sencillo para llegar a Gral es seguir la ruta del Carrovial Número Dos. A pesar de la reciente facilidad para llegar a él, sigue sin ser un pueblo demasiado transitado, debido a que las personas que llegan hasta allí tienen razones específicas para hacerlo. Antaño se realizaban ceremonias y actos de presencia por parte de la fuerza militar de la Ciudad del Desierto, pero desde hace un tiempo el declive que sufre la propia capital hizo que aquellas celebraciones fueran canceladas.

Sin embargo, algunos todavía toman el carrovial hasta llegar a Gral para intentar atravesar la frontera de la región prohibida de Nirvaoth, puesto que es el único interés reciente que ofrece la comunidad.
Matthos Tyrell

High Marshal of the Reach

Warden of the South

Leo Tyrell

Bethany Tyrell

**Matthos Tyrell** was the Lord of Highgarden and Lord Paramount of the Mander for over four decades, having inherited his seat at the age of seven-and-ten. He came to be known as 'the Greythorn' in his later years, mainly in reverence of his years of rulership but also for his often prickly demeanour.

A skilled swordsman and commander, he led the Reach into many different conflicts throughout his life - usually at the behest of the Kings upon the Iron Throne - and suffered for his firm sense of duty. After the First War of Reclamation, he buried his eldest son - who had followed him to war - and after the Dornish Rebellion, he executed Lord Fossoway with his own hand after the losses suffered by the Reach in storming the Prince's Pass.

The scars of battle would never truly heal for Matthos, and he grew more distant and scattered as the years passed by. In the last decade of his life, he rarely left Highgarden, instead entrusting more lordly duties to his second son and likely heir - Mace. At the age of two-and-sixty, he passed quietly in his sleep, a peaceful end for a lifelong warrior.
Crimson Company

### Identifiers

Most members wear crimson cloaks or sashes to identify themselves as part of the Crimson Company.

The Crimson Company are a sellsword company based primarily around the lands of the Free Cities, most commonly so Volantis.

They specialise in dealing with river pirates, and find frequent employment by Volantis, Qohor and Norvos to keep the Rhoyne clear of such threats.

Formerly led by Vhaego the Red, currently commanded by Valarr Valtarys. Since the conversion of Valarr Valtarys to R'hllorism, and the inclusion of his red priestess to the Company, most of their number have come to worship the Red God.
House Royce

House Royce of Runestone is an old and powerful noble house of the Vale, sworn to House Arryn. Their seat is the castle Runestone, located on the coast of the narrow sea north of Gulltown. There is also cadet branch occupying the non-hereditary seat of the Gates of the Moon, located on the path that leads to the Eyrie.

The Royces of Runestone blazon their arms with black iron studs on bronze, bordered with runes, and their motto is "*We Remember*". The Royces are proud of their descent from the First Men. They have several sets of ancient bronze plate armor inscribed with runes that are thought to make their wearers immune to injury. The truth of this claim has been called into question, however, as quite a few Royces have died wearing them.

## History

### Bronze Kings

Calling themselves the Bronze Kings and wearing the Runic Crown, the Royce of Runestone were the most powerful First Men monarchs of the Vale in antiquity. Their rivals included House Shett of Gulltown, who carried the title King of the True Men and likewise claimed to date back ten thousand years to the Dawn Age.

After King Yorwyck VI Royce defeated the Shetts in several battles, King Osgood III Shett allied himself with Ser Gerold Grafton, an Andal warlord from Andalos across the narrow sea. Although they defeated the Bronze King, the death of Osgood in battle led House Grafton to claim Gulltown for themselves. Yorwyck later repelled several other Andal attacks.

### High King

The last of the Bronze Kings was Yorwyck's young grandson, Robar II, who came to the throne when Andal invaders had conquered three-quarters of the Vale. Robar gained the allegiance of surviving First Men houses, including Belmores, Coldwaters, Hunters, Redforts, and Upcliffs, and he was proclaimed High King of the Vale, the Fingers, and the Mountains of the Moon.

Robar led the First Men to several victories, but he was eventually defeated Ser Artys Arryn's Andals in the Battle of the Seven Stars. The surviving Royces bent the knee and swore fealty to House Arryn, the new Kings of Mountain and Vale.
House Estermont

**House Estermont of Greenstone** is a noble house from Greenstone in the Stormlands and is one of the principal houses sworn to House Baratheon of Storm's End. They rule the small island of Estermont east of Cape Wrath.

Their arms depict a dark green sea turtle on pale green.

## History

Lady Cassana Estermont wed Lord Steffon Baratheon of Storm's End and had three sons by him; Robert, Stannis, and Renly, two of whom would later claim the Iron Throne. Both Cassana and Steffon drowned on the *Windproud* when caught in a severe storm in Shipbreaker Bay, after an unsuccessful quest to the Free Cities to find a bride for King Aerys II Targaryen's son, Prince Rhaegar.
Isle of Whips

The Isle of Whips is a small island found at the heart of the Jade Sea. It is not inhabited, beyond the small stations used by slavers to store their stock before sailing onwards on their journey.

## Geography

Located to the east of Great Moraq and northwest of Marahai, the Isle of Whips is isolated from the other nations and locations in the Jade Sea by leagues and leagues of water, and as such has not been colonised to any great level.

The island itself is largely barren, without any real plant or animal life, unlike many of the other islands found within the Jade Sea, and as such is incapable of sustaining settlements that would be heavily reliant on expensive imports from the surrounding nations of Yi Ti and Qarth.

Despite this, there is evidence that the island was once colonised, as on the northern coast a ruined city, its name long forgotten and rarely included on maps of the region, can be found.
Greyjoy Tower

Theo's Tower is located on the western side of Pykeby Theomore Greyjoy, heir of House Greyjoy.

The Tower has many different names, Theo's Tower, Theomore's Tower, Greyjoy Tower or Kraken's Tower

## Description

Theo's Tower is made of stone, round and around 60 feet high.

## Construction

With his first-born son away and life on Pyke going well in the year 370AC, Theomore Greyjoysought a quiet place. Making use of a finger of rock on the western horizon of Pyke construction began. Men were paid in coin and worked at a fast rate. Within less than a year, a round stone tower had been erected stretching nearly 10-man heights up from the rocky outcrop. Here Theo would bring his wife and children to be near the sea. It was a godly place, a place for Greyjoys, and a place for meditation.
Hammerhorn

Hammerhorn is the seat of the main line of House Goodbrother in the Iron Islands. The castle lies in the Hardstone Hills on Great Wyk.

## Layout

A large square castle, Hammerhorn has spiky iron battlements. The stones used for its construction were quarried from the cliff behind it. Below its main entrance lie the openings to the mines and caves within which toil the smallfolk in service to House Goodbrother. Hammerhorn's hall is dank and drafty.
Festival of Colour

The Festival of Colour is an annual celebration that takes place in the Free City of Tyrosh, typically during the ninth moon of the year. It runs for two weeks, and is intended to celebrate the dyes that first made Tyrosh rich.

## History

First celebrated in 133AC by the Archon Irrio Hartys, the Festival of Colour has changed over the years. It was first celebrated by just the nobility, who would hold a great feast within the Archon's Palace, feasting on foods dyed in brilliant vibrancy, from red breads to green quail eggs. Such was a show of such brazen wealth that it has largely fallen out of favour with the rich of the city over the years, but it still persists to some extent.

Whilst the House Hartys has faded into obscurity, the festival persists, but is very different from what was once created by Archon Irrio. The celebrations now last seven days, and involve most of the free residents of the city.

## Format

For the duration of the festival, those taking part are encouraged to wear bright colours or dye their high vibrant colours - something most often achieved by the less well-off members of the city via use of boiled onion skins to produce vibrant yellow tunics. The more wealthy will traditionally show it off via use of purple and blue dyes, both of which associated with significantly expense.

Throughout the week, the common and market districts of the city are transformed by an army of merchants selling brightly coloured trinkets and food, seeking to make a fortune from the visitors that influx into the city to enjoy the festivities. At the Fountain of the Drunken God, a great stage is constructed and decorated with streamers of fabric, and musicians and mummers perform throughout the day and night.

Most of the nobility will celebrate the Festival in their own way within their manses in the Golden District, but often will visit the stage at the Fountain too, where they can enjoy the entertainment in their own private area of the plaza, surrounded by a wall of guards that separate them from the common rabble.
Lordsport

Lordsport is the seat of House Botley on Pyke. It is the largest town in the Iron Islands. Lordsport provides safe anchor for those who wish to reach the castle of Pyke, seat of House Greyjoy.

Lordsport is known for its forges and metalworkers, who produce excellent swords, axes, ringmail, and plate.
Jacaerys Waters

Jacaerys is the bastard son of Corlys Velaryon. He is a skilled sword fighter and accomplished sailor. Jacaerys is Captain of the *Unlikely*, a Velaryon carrack.

## Biography

Jacaerys Waters was born to Corlys Velaryon in the year 355 after
Aegon's Conquest. A sickly babe, Jacaerys was expected to die only a few
 moons after he came squalling into the world. His father was more
interested in planning his next adventure East instead of caring for a
sickly bastard so Jacaerys spent a great deal of his early years in the
care of Maester Duram and the two still hold a bond to this day. The
young lad didn't die and quickly became healthy due to the help of the
Maester.

Corlys spent very little time with his bastard sons so Jacaerys
sought companionship among the other members of his family. Aurane
Velaryon, Jacaerys' cousin and the first-born son of Malentine Velaryon,
 was one of the young lad's first friends and the two have been
inseparable ever since. Aurane didn't look down on Jacaerys for his
parentage unlike some in the Castle of Driftmark and for that Jacaerys
was forever grateful. The two were taught how to handle themselves in
court, how to swing a sword (Aurane actually gave Jacaerys the scar
across his face during this time), and how to sail. Aurane also helped
develop Jacaerys' love for hunting as the two went out quite often
searching for rabbits, squirrels, and other small game in their youth.

Corlys' absence in Jacaerys' life was common place as his father
dreamed of lands far away from the seat of his House. Jacaerys figured
his father was more interested in treasures that probably didn't exist
than his own progeny and very rarely sought out his father. Once Corlys
disappeared, Jacaerys hardly mourned and was almost relived. Finally, he
 had a chance to carve his own path and break away from being known as
"Corlys' bastard son".

Yearning to make a name for himself, Jacaerys had made his way to
King's Landing with his cousin. Disaster struck and Aurane was
grievously mauled by a bear and later died of his wounds. Distraught and
 lost, Jacaerys did what he thought was best - pledge his House to Otto
Baratheon's cause. Time will tell if this was a wise choice as the rest
of his House are unaware of his actions.
