Greenstone

Greenstone is the seat of House Estermont on the island of Estermont in the Stormlands. The current Lord of Greenstone is Beric Estermont.

## Location

Greenstone is situated on the southern aspect of the island of Estermont, itself situated just off the eastern aspect of Cape Wrath. It is built into the rock and stone of the mountains found upon the isle.

## Layout

Greenstone, being found high into the mountainous terrain of Estermont, has a long stone staircase leading up to the entrance of the castle walls, protected by a small guard tower and a large heavy door carved from stone. Once lifted by the pulley system in place, the pathway continues into the castle yard.

There is no true keep as such, instead House Estermont inhabits a castle built directly into the rock and stone, similar to that of the ruined Westerlander seat of House Reyne, or the Rock of House Lannister. A far stretch from the stone quarry that once existed in its place, the mountains now hold halls and chambers that have been home to House Estermont for centuries.

Greentown

At the base of the stairs leading up to the guard tower of Greenstone, the small town of Greentown can be found. Amongst merchant shops and residential buildings, a blacksmith, sept and tavern can be found. A short distance from Greentown is Estermont Harbour, where shipbuilders maintain the Estermont fleet and fishermen and traders alike sell their produce.

companions Garth Greyfist, Larence Stingblade and Timmeth Waters. After the deaths of all of his companions except Larence, the pair decided that their martial skills would be better served in a more stable, and hopefully less dangerous path of employment.

Becoming Gold-cloaks of the King’s Landing City Watch in 366AC, they have continued to patrol the streets since.

Despite this, the desire for riches oft associated with hedge knights persists within them, and the duo frequently accept bribes and additional payments upon their standard salary to look the other way during various operations, and on rare
occasions, partake in them too.

Her septa travelled Essos for a time and she learned several dialects of the Valyrian language. She found the Lysene version the most beautiful, and so she taught it to Alyssa. When she was older, Alyssa also learned to sing in the foreign language. She could sing in the common tongue as well, but she preferred Lyseni.

When she was twelve, Alyssa discovered that she had a gift for painting. To help her, Willem hired a painting master from Lys to teach her the art. It also helped her with her language skills. It wasn’t long before Alyssa thought more highly of Lysene culture than anything on Westeros.

It didn’t take long for Alyssa to become beloved by the smallfolk. House Rykker is a wealthy house, and she was charitable with the money, always making sure that the people of Duskendale were looked after. It also isn’t uncommon for her singing to draw crowds from the servants in the Dun Fort.

Aenar Targaryen

## Royal Prince

Cyvasse

**Aenar Targaryen** is the first child of Prince Daeron Targaryen and Princess Jaehaera Targaryen. Through them he gained a claim to the Iron Throne of Westeros which he recently pushed.

## Appearance

Aenar is a man of above average height, with violet eyes and short platinum hair. He has the presence of a lean and athletic man.

## History

The eldest son of Daeron and Jaehaera Targaryen, Prince Aenar Targaryen was born of an unhappy marriage. As a youth, Aenar often avoided his parents, exploring the halls of the red keep, reading books about epic battles and great warriors. His grandfather, King Viserys III, taught Aenar cyvasse when he was very young, and the young prince learned the game rapidly, proving somewhat of a savant at it, with a defensive playstyle that ruthlessly punishes mistakes.

Aenar has grown to be an skilled and honorable but prideful young knight, after squiring for Ser Daven Lannett, the King's sworn sword. He also became good friends with Ser Rickard Stark during the Stark heir’s time in King's Landing.

## Recent Events

### 380 AC

Recently, he has traveled to the Tourney of Oldtown, where he participated in the Joust and Melee, knocking down three opponents in the melee, but failing in the first round of the joust.

He grew quite infatuated with Ysilla Dayne during his time in Oldtown, but in the aftermath of his uncle Aegor fleeing the city, got caught up in politics. With Victor Tyrell offering him his sister's hand in marriage, Aenar found himself caught up in the Game of Thrones.

After his mother tried to convince him to support his claim, Aenar instead put forth his claim over Aegor's, and was immediately rebuked. He was placed inside of a prison cell for his actions.
Charlie-O the Mule (Oakland Athletics)

**Charlie-O the Mule** was the mascot used by the Kansas City Athletics and Oakland A's from 1965 to 1976. The mule was named after Charles O. Finley, the team's owner at the time.

The team's original mascot was an elephant. Use of an elephant to symbolize the Athletics dates from the early years of the franchise, when a group of Philadelphia businessmen headed by industrialist Benjamin Shibe became the team's first owners. When asked to comment, John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants of the rival National League said something to the effect that Shibe had bought himself a "white elephant" In response, A's manager (and future owner) Connie Mack selected the elephant as the team symbol and mascot and from time to time the elephant has appeared on the Athletics uniforms ever since.

When the A's moved to then heavily Democratic Missouri, where the official state animal is the mule, Warren Hearnes gave a mule to Finley for his barnyard menagerie at Municipal Stadium (Kansas City) which also included sheep and goats that scampered up the hill behind right field. The Municipal Stadium menagerie also included Warpaint, the horse mascot of the Kansas City Chiefs. As questions swirled about whether Finley would be loyal to Missouri, he embraced the mule and removed the elephant from the A's logo and changed the A's colors from blue, red and white to green, gold, and white.

Finley took the sorrel 5-foot-tall (1.5 m) mule around the country, walking him into cocktail parties and hotel lobbies, and on one occasion even into the press room after a large feeding to annoy reporters. After an announcement that Finley intended to ride him around the bases at Dodger Stadium, a reporter wrote:

You can't tell the owner without a program.
In 1965, the A's briefly had relief pitchers ride the mule from the bullpen to the pitcher's mound, when entering a game.

When the Athletics left Kansas City after the 1967 season, there was debate about whether Charlie-O should stay but Finley declared he was a gift and took him with him to Oakland in 1968. The mule died in 1976 at age 20. When Finley sold the team to San Francisco businessman Walter A. Haas, Jr. in 1981, the use of a mule as team mascot was discontinued. Then, in 1988, the elephant was resurrected as team mascot, eventually personified by Stomper.

Charlie-O appeared at two Oakland Athletics games in 2010, first in Oakland for a Turn Back the Clock game on June 26 and again in Kansas City for the Kansas City Royals’ Turn Back the Clock game against the Athletics on July 17th.
Battle of the Antlers

**The Battle of the Antlers** was the opening battle in what would come to be known as the War of the Lords Scorned in 333 AC. Garrisoned by a small force, Antlers swiftly fell to rebel forces, outnumbering them approximately ten-to-one. The rebel victory at Antlers allowed them to march north, to lay siege to Maidenpool
House Drumm

**House Drumm of Old Wyk** is a noble house from the Iron Islands, tracing their history back for at least eight hundred years. Their seat is on the island of Old Wyk, the island considered holiest by the ironmen and the first one colonized by the First Men.

They blazon their shield with a bone hand, white on red.

## History

The Drumms own a Valyrian steel sword, Red Rain, which was taken from a knight years ago by Hilmar the Cunning with wits and a wooden cudgel. Due to the name and the color of the sword, it is possible the sword belonged to House Reyne.

The Drumms hold the title "Lord of Old Wyk", suggesting they have some type of sovereignty over the whole island and its other houses, such as the Stonehouses. During the Greyjoy Rebellion, the Drumms would have commanded the defense of their island against the host led by Ser Barristan Selmy.
Dawn

Dawn is an actress from King's Landing, currently in the employ of Archmaester Arvyn as part of his spy ring in the capital.

She is a member of the Cabal of Light and Dark and is currently undercover as a Septa.

## History

Dawn was born to a baker situated on the Street of Flour, sired upon a tavern wench. From a young age she showed an interest in the shows of passing mummers and other entertainers, much to her father's annoyance, preferring her instead to kneed the dough of upcoming batches.

In 370AC, her father traded his daughter to a passing entertainer's troupe for a pouch of silver stags and a dyed jacket, Dania having become a hindrance rather than a help.

She travelled around the Crownlands, Stormlands and Reach with the troupe, before returning to King's Landing, where her convincing acting and ability to persuade and reason caught the eye of Lustre, who offered her an alternative, more lucrative type of employment.

Upon induction, Dania was given the moniker Dawn, as is expected by all working within the spy rings of Archmaester Arvyn.

## Recent History

In the twelfth moon of 380AC, she preached against the High Septon at Baelor's Sept, attracting the attention and eventual support of Dermont of Dosk, the Lieutenant of the Faith Militant.

House Fossoway of Cider Hall

**House Fossoway of Cider Hall** is a noble house from the Reach, one of the principal bannermen sworn to House Tyrell of Highgarden. Cider Hall is located at the fork of the Mander and the Cockleswent.

They are commonly referred as the red-apple Fossoways, to differentiate them from the other branch of the house, the green apple Fossoways from New Barrel, that split from the red apples in 209 AC.

Their banner is a red apple over a golden field. Their motto is "A Taste of Glory".

## History

During the Dance of the Dragons, House Fossoway supported the greens. Owen Fossoway, Lord of Cider Hall, was a member of the Caltrops, a group of conspirators that wanted the dragonseeds Ulf the White and Hard Hugh Hammer dead. Owen was killed at the Second Battle of Tumbleton.

The red apple of the Fossoways was spotted by Ser Duncan the Tall among the heraldry on display at Ashford in 209 AC. Ser Steffon Fossoway and his cousin Raymun both attended the tourney at Ashford Meadow, with Steffon intending to enter the lists. Raymun served as his squire until the trial of seven. After promising Duncan to take his side, Steffon revealed his intention to join Prince Maekar Targaryen and the accusers. Steffon justified himself to his cousin Raymun by alleging he would be "Lord Fossoway" at the end of the day. Raymun instead supported Dunk. To mark himself on the field, Ser Raymun, newly knighted by Ser Lyonel Baratheon, repainted the apple on his shield green, founding House Fossoway of New Barrel.
Drogon

**Drogon** was one of the dragons born in the Dothraki sea. Commanded by Daenerys Targaryen, he was named for her dead husband, Drogo. Drogon was believed to be the reincarnation of Balerion the Black Dread, die to his size and colouration. The largest and most aggressive of Daenerys's three dragons, Daenerys had problems reining him in, and all later attempts but one ended in death.

Drogon was the last dragon of House Targaryen.

## Appearance

Drogon's scales were black, his horns and spinal plates were blood red, and his eyes were smouldering red pits. His teeth were black as well. His flame was black fire shot with red and the wash of its heat could often be felt thirty feet away. His wing flap sounded like the clap of thunder, and he bled black blood.

Though a strong and swift-growing beast in his younger years, long periods in the Red Mountains of Dorne stunted Drogon's growth, stopping him from ever winning his full size. By his death he was only a middle-weight, when compared with the skulls and records of dragons past.

## History

Drogon was born upon the funeral pyre of Khal Drogo, along with his two egg-mates Viserion and Rhaegal. All three were hatched by and later served Daenerys Targaryen, whom men called the Mother of Dragons, traveling with her across Essos in her attempt to claim the Iron Throne.

Drogon was the largest and most unruly of the Stormborn's beasts, quickly outsizing his two siblings. When at last Queen Daenerys crossed the Narrow Sea in 301AC, she did so on the back of Drogon, and used him primarily in combat. After her death at the hands of the Dornish Drogon fled into the Red Mountains, remaining there for several decades.

The mountains of Dorne proved too treacherous for any concentrated attempts on the beast to be made, and the combination of heat and ready caves lent the area to serving as a dragon's haunt. Often Drogon would swoop down on either side of the bluffs, taking cattle or horses into his jaws and devouring them. Sometimes he would remain for a while - others would seem him swiftly wing away again, heavy beats of leathery wings taking him upward faster than an arrow might follow.

Of course, the allure of a dragon was mighty, and many an adventurer saw themselves as the next Aegon the Conqueror, if only they might harness the beast. Travelers from across the known worled traveled to Dorne to visit it's Red Mountains, hoping to tame the beast. Archons, Magisters, Princes and Kings - even smallfolk and dragonseeds all tried their hands, perishing one and all in a wreath of fire and a roar. In the end it was Baelon Targaryen, son of King Aegon Targaryen who tamed the beast - and with it, he wrought great and terrible harm upon the kingdom of Westeros during the War of the Shadow.

## History

Larence Stingblade, a wandering hedge knight served as a soldier under House Crakehall at the Battle of Corpse Lake, along with his companions Garth Greyfist, Arthos of the Honeywine and Timmeth Waters. After the deaths of all of his companions except Arthos, the pair decided that their
martial skills would be better served in a more stable, and hopefully less dangerous path of employment.

Becoming Gold-cloaks of the King’s Landing City Watch in 366AC, they have continued to patrol the streets since.

Despite this, the desire for riches oft associated with hedge knights persists within them, and the duo frequently accept bribes and additional payments upon their standard salary to look the other way during various operations, and on rare occasions, partake in them too.
