### Overlord

House Lannister

**House Vikary** is a house of landed knights in the Westerlands. Their arms are quarterly: a red boar's head on a white field; beneath a gold bend sinister, a silver lion rampant regardant with a forked tail, with gold teeth and claws, on a red field. The head of the house is Ser Lymond Vikary.

Due to the presence of a silver lion on a red field underneath a bend sinister, it is possible that the Vikarys are descended from a bastard of House Reyne.

He is unsuccessful, first he tells Catelyn that Edmure Tully is his great admirerer (which she knows is a lie as Edmure hates minstrels), then he insults the north saying they don't appreciate music, only the howls of wolves. He draws Tyrion Lannister's attention to their table which gets Tyrion arrested.

Marillion chooses to go with Catelyn's party to the Eyrie, but he hides when they are attacked by the Hill Tribes. Still, he loots a warm Shadow Cat coat from one of the dead tribesmen. Later, he loses the coat to Tyrion gambling.

Marillion becomes a favorite of Lysa Arryn, flattering her and praising Robert. She is blind to his insults to her bannermen and sexual demands to her servants. When she tries to kill Sansa Stark, Marillion angry at Sansa for her rejections happily helps by singing loudly to drown out Sansa's cries for help, but when the tables turn and Lysa Arryn (now Baelish) is killed instead, Marillion is blamed for her murder. He is tortured and blinded, until he confesses.

Marillion's name is a reference to the British progressive rock band of the same name.
Merrett Frey

**Merrett Frey** was the ninth child of Lord Walder Frey of the Twins and grew up in the competitive and crowded castle where numerous factions plotted against one another, all encouraged by their father. He was large and skilled at fighting, and seemed to have the makings of a knight. Merrett became a squire in the service of Lord Sumner Crakehall in the Stormlands. He served in Lord Sumner's campaign against the Kingswood Brotherhood, but did not fare well. First he caught a pox from a whore and spread it through the camp. This kept him out of battle for quite awhile. Then finally getting back, Merrett was captured by one of the outlaws, a woman known as Wenda the White Fawn, and had to be ransomed back by Lord Crakehall. Before returning him, Wenda had her sigil a brand of a white fawn burned into his buttocks. In his first battle after being ransomed, Merrett Frey took a blow to the head from a mace that nearly killed him and left him in permanent pain with migraines for the rest of his life. Becoming a knight became impossible. He took to drink to dull this pain. He was thought at first to be lucky in marriage as he married a daughter of House Darry, but they lost much of their prestige and power after the fall of the Targaryens. Merrett had four children. One called Fat Walda Bolton is married to Roose Bolton and another Amarei Lannister is married to Lancel Lannister.

Merrett was included in the conspiracy to carry out the Red Wedding and was assigned to get Greatjon Umber too drunk to effectively fight, although he failed in this task. He later asked to be assigned to deliver the ransom for Petyr Frey, called Pimple, captured by the Brotherhood Without Banners. He was trying to prove himself reliable in a crisis and worthwhile to the new heir of House Frey. But Petyr had already been hanged and the outlaws held Merrett to be one of those responsible for the Red Wedding, the Brotherhood and Lady Stoneheart condemned him to death by hanging.

While at Lancel's new estate, that formerly belonged to the House of Darry, Jaime Lannister remembers Merritt Frey as being a bully that he didn't like.

Merrett was the epilogue POV character in *A Storm of Swords*.

She is regarded as beautiful or pretty by most people, including Tyrion Lannister, Renly Baratheon and Sansa Stark. Renly believes that she looks somewhat like Lyanna, Sansa's aunt, and Cersei believes that she and her brother are more alike than her and Jaime. She often dresses in green and gold, the colours of her house.

Margaery is highly intelligent, courteous and polite to a fault, with an almost effortless savvy for political manoeuvring and exploitation. Starkly unlike her nemesis Cersei, she does not need to resort to sex or terror to get what she wants and seems genuinely capable of being kind and compassionate to other people; Cersei almost instinctively resorts to using fear or her family's power to get ahead. The people of the Reach and King's Landing adore her.

Only the Bearded Priests are allowed to have a full beard and mustache, free-men can have mustache (which they tend to wear large and long), while slaves and free women have to shave their heads bald.

Khaleesi

***Khaleesi*** is a Dothraki title referring to the wife of the *khal*. She could either be very influential; riding next to the *khal*, or she could be worth practically less than the *khal*'s horse - the *khal*'s bloodriders would sometimes share the *khaleesi*, but never share the *khal*'s horse at some Dothraki places.

In the Dothraki traditions, if a *khal* dies, his *khaleesi* must retire to join the crones that rule Vaes Dothrak, known as the *dosh khaleen*. Daenerys Targaryen, however refused this and declared herself a *khaleesi* in her own right and formed her own *Khalasar* from the few of Drogo's people who hadn't abandoned her.

The city appears to be considerably smaller than Qarth.
Known world

File:Ice and Fire World Map.png
The world of *A Song of Ice and Fire* has no overall name, with its inhabitants simply referring to it as 'the world'.

The world stretches for thousands upon thousands of miles, the majority of it covered by ocean. There are four known continents: Westeros, Essos, Sothoryos and Ulthos.

## Continents

* Westeros: Located in the far west of the known world, Westeros is a long, thin continent stretching for some three thousand miles from the Wall to the Summer Sea, with an unknown amount of land north of the Wall. Most of Westeros is united as a single political entity known as the 'Seven Kingdoms', ruled by the King on the Iron Throne in the city of King's Landing.
* Essos: Separated from Westeros by the Narrow Sea, Essos is an immense landmass, several times larger than Westeros. Unlike unified Westeros, Essos is fractious and unruly, consisting of numerous powerful city-states and only a few kingdoms.
* Sothoryos: A hot, humid land of dense jungles and burning deserts, located south of Essos and south-east of Westeros. It is known for its ruined cities, hairy apes and devastating plagues.
* Ulthos: A mysterious and obscure landmass, this continent lies south of Essos and east of Sothoryos. Virtually nothing is known about it.

## Seas and oceans

* The Sunset Sea lies to the west of Westeros. There has been no verified, successful crossing of the Sunset Sea to whatever lands lie beyond. Some of the ironborn have claimed to have discovered islands several weeks' sail to the west of Westeros, but these claims have not been confirmed.
* The Summer Sea is a large ocean located south of Westeros and Essos, separating those continents from Sothoryos. The island of Great Moraq separates the Summer Sea from the Jade Sea to the east. The Summer Islands are located in the Summer Sea, south-east of Westeros and west of Sothoryos.
* The Narrow Sea divides Westeros from Essos. It is separated from the Summer Sea by the islands known as the Stepstones. Several of the Free Cities lies on its shores.
* The Shivering Sea is the polar ocean, located north-east of Westeros and north of Essos. It is a freezing sea, wracked by horrendous storms during winter. The island of Ibben lies in the Shivering Sea, three thousand miles east of Westeros.
* The Jade Sea is a substantial body of water located south of Essos, divided from the Summer Sea by the island of Great Moraq. The great cities of Qarth and Asshai are located on its shores, along with the forbidding Shadow Lands and the nation of Yi Ti.

Valyria

**Valyria** was a great city located on the continent of Essos. It was destroyed in a volcanic cataclysm known as the Doom of Valyria, which took place approximately one hundred years before Aegon I Targaryen invaded Westeros, and four hundred years prior to the War of the Five Kings. Valyria was the capital city of the Valyrian Freehold, one of the most powerful empires in the history of the known world.

## Founding

Valyria was founded more than five thousand years ago. Shepherds found dragons lairing on the slopes of the Fourteen Fires, a chain of massive, active volcanoes stretching across the neck of the Valyrian Peninsula. By means unknown, but possibly involving magic, the dragons were tamed and the Valyrians were able to use them for transportation and war. The Valyrians threw down the then-dominant Ghiscari Empire and conquered all the lands surrounding Slaver's Bay and the Gulf of Grief. The city of Valyria grew from a backwater to the greatest city in the world, the center of a vast network of straight roads extending across much of western and southern Essos. The Lords Freeholder met in the city to debate policy and rule their vast lands.

## Destruction

The city of Valyria was not directly destroyed by a volcanic eruption during the Doom, as it lay more than a hundred miles south of the Fourteen Fires. However, a colossal amount of ash was propelled far from the eruptions and descended on the city, smothering it (hence the common phrase that the Doom "descended" on Valyria). How quickly the city succumbed and how many people were able to escape is not known.

## Ruins

Valyria today survives as ruins, located on the largest surviving fragment of the shattered peninsula. By all reports, the city is at least partially intact, preserved by the very ash that destroyed it. Getting to the ruins is highly problematic, as the Smoking Sea that now surrounds the island gives off poisonous fumes that can quickly kill a person and there is no bridge or other link to the mainland to the north. In addition, there is a strong superstition in Essos that to sail within sight of the shores of Valyria means death, which discourages travel there. Gerion Lannister is one of the more notable travellers to have made the long journey to Valyria and not returned.

However, a significant number of looters have reached the city safely over the years, enough to pick the city clean of many significant treasures and artifacts. Euron Greyjoy is known to have sailed to Valyria and returned safely with an ancient dragon horn.

During their escape, Samwell Tarly tires and sleep wanting to be left behind, but Small Paul caries him and and asks him for a raven as a pet in return. Paul continues to carry Sam, even though he tells him he lost all the ravens at the Fist. In a while, the slaking Paul, Sam and Grenn are attacked by an Other.

The Other rides a dead horse that belongs to a man of the Night's Watch, Paul recognizes the horse and gets angry for what the Other did to it. He attacks it with Grenn, but the Other breaks Grenn's sword and then kills Paul. As he dies Paul crashes into the Other, tearing the sword from its hands. This allows Sam to stab the Other with his obsidian dagger. The Other melts in seconds from contact with the dagger. Grenn checks if Small Paul is really dead and closes his eyes.
