House Rhysling

**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. Lord Owen was killed at the Second Battle of Tumbleton.

**Euron Greyjoy**, called the Crow's Eye, was an Iron King of the Iron Islands elected at Kingsmoot and later a lawful candidate for the Iron Throne at the Great Council of 303 AC. When he was laughed out of the running by the other lords, Euron took what members of the Iron Fleet would follow him, and sailed east back into exile, swearing his vengeance. His fate far-east was never discovered and remains a mystery to this very day.

The Red Hands

The Red Hands are a sellsail company based in both the Narrow Sea and Summer Sea.

They have been known to do business with the various Masters of Slaver's Bay, and their warships, recognisable from their naval rams, have been spotted near the harbours across the Known World, from Braavos to Qarth.

## History

Having been allegedly founded by an errant son of the God-Empress of Leng, the Red Hands are well known for their tendency to focus on quick attacks, intending to cripple their enemies' vessels. Afterwards, they board, cutting down sailors and warriors alike.

It is traditional for them to carry three blades, a curved sword for combat, and falchion for hacking rope and wood, and a small dagger for granting mercy to their fallen foes.
Ibbenese

The Ibbenese are a culture of people located in the Shivering Sea, which is the polar sea north of the eastern continent, Essos. The chief city of the Ibbenese is the Port of Ibben, situated on the southern coast of their largest island, Ib.

## 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 is the city of New Ibbish.

## 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.
Drogon

Drogon was one of the dragons born in the Dothraki sea. Commanded by Daenerys Targaryen, he was named for her dead first husband, Drogo.

The largest and most aggressive of Daenerys's three dragons, Daenerys had problems controlling him, although he responded well to the commands of Aegon Targaryen during the Golden Dragon's Invasion.

## Appearance

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

He bled black blood.

## Death

Shortly after Aegon Targaryen was fatally wounded during his invasion of Westeros, Drogon released his fury by way of dragonflame and a fury of claws and teeth. During this dreadful wrath, he was caught awing by a scorpion bolt and forced to retreat, flying for the south.

His still-steaming corpse was discovered some moons later, deep within the ruins of Summerhall. His scales and bones were claimed by the Throne and added to the trove of dragon skeletons beneath the Red Keep.
House Baelish of King's Landing

**House Baelish of King's Landing** is the former Royal House of Westeros. Originally a minor house of the Vale, it came to hold the Iron Throne when Petyr I Baelish was selected by the Great Council of 303 AC.

## History

### Targaryen Dynasty

The great-grandfather of Petyr I Baelish was a Braavosi sellsword in the service of House Corbray. That sellsword's son was knighted and granted lands in the Fingers. In the War of the Ninepenny Kings, Petyr I's father became acquainted with Lord Hoster Tully, causing Petyr to be fostered at Riverrun, where he became grew up with Lord Hoster's children.

### Baratheon Dynasty

Through his acquaintance with Lysa Tully, the wife of Lord Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, Petyr Baelish became Master of Coin for Robert I Baratheon. During the War of the Five Kings, he married the widowed Lysa Tully and became Lord Protector of the Vale for her son Robert Arryn.

He continued to serve as Master of Coin for Robert I Baratheon's sons Joffrey and Tommen, while also receiving Harrenhal as his seat. After the death of Tommen I Baratheon, the Great Council of 303 AC was called.

### Royal House

When Petyr I Baelish was chosen by the Great Council, he succeeded to the Iron Throne, with Sansa Stark as his wife. His main concern during his reign was the rebuilding and improvement of King's Landing after the destruction from the previous wars. The castle of Harrenhal passed to Petyr's second son Jon Baelish, founding House Baelish of Harrenhal. Petyr I died in 331 AC.

He was succeeded by his first son Eddard I Baelish, whose reign was marked by a growing influence of the Small Council, while the King himself was largely uninvolved in the matters of government. This development culminated in the Hand's War in 349-350 AC. Eddard I Baelish died in 358 AC of severe stress.

Eddard's son and heir Petyr II Baelish became known for his piety towards the Faith of the Seven. His most notable endeavour was his attempt to convert the Iron Islands to the Faith of the Seven, during which he died in 370 AC.

Edmund I Baelish inherited the Iron Throne from his father, and began his reign with the Subjugation of the Iron Islands. After the victory, he appointed Lord Brynden Baelish of Harrenhal as his Hand of the King, who sought to claim the Iron Throne for himself in 381 AC in Brynden's Rebellion, but was captured and executed in 384 AC. In the Dornish-Triarchy War, Prince Petyr Baelish, Edmund's first son died, and, accused of being responsible for his brother's death, Prince Tristan Baelish was disinherited. Having been granted Harrenhal before, Roland Baelish, the twin brother of King Edmund, also became Prince of Dragonstone.

## Recent Events

In 390 AC, King Edmund I Baelish fell ill, and, expected to not be able to recover from his illness, has called for a Great Tournament at King's Landing.
Jinqi

Seafood

Jinqi is a coastal city in the Golden Empire of Yi Ti in eastern Essos. It is ruled by the Amber Emperor, one of the three main claimants of the Throne of a Thousand Metals.

## Location and Geography

Jinqi is the easternmost of the major cities of Yi Ti, but is located west the border between the Golden Empire and the Shadow Lands. It is built upon the banks of the delta formed by the river Jinqa.

The city defines the transition between the Cao-Yang Province to the west, and the Gao-Jie Province to the east.
Felstrong

Felstrong is one of the smallest of the fourteen major islands that form the Stepstones.

Since the conclusion of the Dornish-Triarchy War, the island has been under the control of the Guild of the Blue.

## History

The small island of Felstrong is home to one of the Stepstones greatest oddities. On the eastern edge of the isle lies the Valley of Faces, where the stone has been carved and shaped into the visage of near two dozen giant men and women. As the wind rushes through the valley, it is said that the faces sing in deep, haunted tones. Some have speculated that the creators of the faces share heritage with those associated with the Singing Stones of the Summer Isles, but no evidence to support the claim has ever been found.
House Tully

House Tully of Riverrun was one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms. Although House Tully still retain Riverrun and reside within the Riverlands, they do so at a fraction of their prior strength, now as bannermen for House Baelish of Harrenhal.

Their sigil is a silver trout leaping on a striped field of blue and mud red, and their house words are "Family, Duty, Honor."

## Recent History

When Petyr I Baelish ascended to the throne in 303 AC after the results of the Great Council, Edmure Tully was selected to serve as his Hand of the King after lobbying by Queen Sansa Stark - a title he bore until the year of his death in 338 AC.

### Brynden's Rebellion

In 381 AC, after the marriage of King Edmund to a Greyjoy, Brynden Baelish saw his opportunity to appease the High Septon and gain power for himself by denouncing the king as impious man, before declaring himself King. Lord Tully, along with the Lords Hightower and Arryn offered him support, gaining further men from the lands they represented.

While Lord Tully had large levies and the rule of the Riverlands to help Brynden, most of his army and himself were stuck inside Riverrun, as Lannister quickly descended on the castle to besiege it. There they would remain until their surrender shortly after the Tragedy of the Twins.

Following the war, Lord Tully was exiled and his title of Lord Paramount was given to Prince Roland Baelish.
Lesser Moraq

Lesser Moraq is large island found near the Cinnamon Straits, where the Summer Sea meets the Jade Sea.

## Geography

Located west of the Great Moraq, south of Vahar and northeast of Wyvern Point in Sothoryos, the shores of Lesser Moraq define the northwest edge of the Cinnamon Straits, one of the two routes into the Jade Sea from the western Summer Sea.

## Cities

There are one large city on the island of Lesser Moraq, Ylios, but it is not particularly large or populous, even compared to Faros on Great Moraq or Zabhad on the Isle of Elephants.

* Ylios - Famed for its domed marble buildings that overlook the azure waters of the harbour from the gentle rolling hills to the north, Ylios is a port-town found on the southwestern side of the island. The people of Ylios are generally considered to be a welcoming people, but those that break their rules, considered confusing and peculiar by many of those that visit the isle, may be subjected to punishment and execution in the traditional fashion. At the centre of the town, flanked by shops, winehouses and a large marble lighthouse, a pit of great depth has been dug. Those deemed guilty of their crimes are tossed into the mulch that has built up over decades and centuries, to drown in the remains of those that have come before them.
Astapor

Astapor, dubbed the Red City, is the southernmost of the cities in Slaver's Bay. It lies near the mouth of the Worm, north of Old Ghis and one hundred leagues south of Yunkai by a coastal road. Astapor is an old city, but not as populous as Lys, Pentos, or Qarth. It is renowned for the special slaves it produces, the Unsullied. The city takes a tenth of the price whenever a slave changes hands.

The traditional Astapori emblem is a harpy: a woman's torso, wings of a bat instead of arms, legs of an eagle and a scorpion's tail. In its talons hangs a chain with open manacles at either end. An old crumbling statue portraying the harpy of Ghis is located atop Astapor's harbour gate.

The current state of Astapor is much like it has been in the past. Enormous ancient pyramids overlook crumbling red walls that date back to the days of the Old Ghiscari Empire.

## City Layout

The City of Astapor is separated into seven main sections. The Plaza of Punishment, the Plaza of Pride, the Plaza of Pain, the Plaza of Prayer, the Plaza of Paragons, the Plaza of Profit, and the Harbour.

### The Plaza of Punishment

Located just inside the main gate of Astapor in the southern portion of the City, the Plaza of Punishment is where new slaves enter the city, and walk past rebellious slaves who have been punished or executed, often crucified in the square.

### The Plaza of Pride

Located in the southwestern portion of the city, the Plaza of Pride is an enormous open slave-market where slavers great and small peddle their wares. In the centre of the plaza stands a red brick fountain with the a hammered bronze version of the Astapori harpy standing in its centre.

### The Plaza of Pain

Located in the southeastern portion of the city, the Plaza of Pain contains the numerous fighting pits that the city has to offer, where man, woman, and beast alike fight for their lives in brutal fights to the death.

### The Plaza of Prayer

Located in the western portion of the city, the Plaza of Prayer contains the old Temple of the Graces, a mighty pyramid-temple dedicated to the Gods of Ghis where the Green Grace resided.

### The Plaza of Paragons

Located in the very centre of the city, the Plaza of Paragons contains the Royal Pyramid in the centre where the city is ruled from, surrounded by the enormous pyramids of the most powerful, wealthy, and noble Houses of Astapor.

### The Plaza of Profit

Located in the eastern portion of the city, the Plaza of Profit contains an enormous market where everything except slaves are sold.

### The Harbour

Located in the northern portion of the city along Slaver’s Bay, the Harbour is where slaves, wine, olives, and a great variety of other goods are shipped in and out of the city.
Jaime Lannister

Lord of Casterly Rock

> "*This was justice. Make a habit of it, Lannister, and one day men might call you Goldenhand after all. Goldenhand the Just.*"
> ― Jaime Lannister, to himself
>
>

**Jaime Lannister**, going also by the monikers of **Kingslayer** and later **Azor Ahai**, was Lord of Casterly Rock and the head of House Lannister. Once the lover of Queen Cersei Lannister, his own sister, he was the father of her three children before ending the relationship once Cersei's toxicity became clear. He would later fall in love with and marry Brienne of Tarth, making her the Lady of Casterly Rock, with their second-born son taking the Tarth name and the Valyrian Steel sword Oathkeeper to carry on his mother's line. He would come to wield Widow's Wail, the sword of his biological son Joffrey I Baratheon.

## History

### Long Night (301 AC)

> *Main Article: Long Night*
>
>

### Great Council (303 AC)

> *Main Article: Great Council of 303 AC*
>
>

Jaime Lannister, fresh from battle with the Others, would travel with Brienne of Tarth and her squire Podrick Payne to the Great Council in the capital. He would not meet his sister Cersei, the now-former Queen Regent, as she was too deep in mourning and later anger upon learning of his choice of companion. He would remain for the duration of the vote, and, upon being released from his Kingsguard vows by the new King Petyr I Baelish, would depart for the Riverlands to see if Arya Stark could be found, accompanied by the Beauty and Payne.

### Azor Ahai (303 AC - Death)

Instead of finding Catelyn Stark's missing daughter, the trio would find the Brotherhood Without Banners instead. A priestess of the Red God Rh'llor, Melisandre, would proclaim Jaime Azor Ahai for his actions at Winterfell during the Long Night. Held prisoner until he accepted his mantle, Jaime would briefly assume leadership of the Brotherhood before disbanding them with his authority.

Jaime, however, was in for a rude awakening to reality upon return to Casterly Rock. His cousin Martyn had been ruling the Westerlands in his stead but was swift to suddenly relinquish control of House Lannister to its lawful lord. Overwhelmed with this, and the news of his sister's wedding into House Tyrell, Jaime nearly abandoned the mantle of Warden of the West. However, Brienne would persuade him to remain, and he would only agree to do so if she did as well. They were married privately in the bowels of Casterly Rock, and would go on to have at least two sons.

### Legacy

Jaime was not remembered as the Kingslayer by many following his passing. By those loyal to the idea of such a hero, he was Azor Ahai. To his family he proved a loyal Lannister, and one who had, in some small way, rebuilt his honour in the eyes of many.
Daemon Targaryen

Daemon Targaryen

Daemon Targaryen is a Dragonguard for King Lucerys Targaryen and his half-sister's Daenys Targaryen's husband.

## Ashes to ashes

Centuries ago, ‘ere the destruction of their ancestral homeland, the Targaryens fled the city of Valyria. The ghost of Valyria has stalked Daemon his entire life. In his dreams, he hears the roar of the hills, sees the black sky above, and smells the fuming embers. He believes that one day the fire that ebbs within the veins of all Targaryens will consume that which they hold dear. Despite the dour implications of this belief, Daemon has made peace with his revelations. He seeks to enjoy his time in this world and will often obsess over small things that others might take for granted, and delights in discussing both grand and inane topics. This has earned him the image of a dilettante.

Born to Baelon Targaryen and his wife Myra, he is tall and lean of body and bears strong Targaryen features diluted by the blood of his Braavosi mother.

From a young age, Daemon’s father had the boy hone his skills with a blade. Training with a Braavosi tutor, he learned to cleanly cut a rose at the stem between two thorns, after which he practiced proper grip by grasping the rose until it withered days later. Blade-centered martial arts quickly became Daemon’s foremost passion and pride.

At the age of sixteen, he and his cousin Vaegon accompanied a group of Targaryen soldiers down the coast to clear out an irksome pirate den. The ordeal proved more difficult than first imagined as the pirates had dug down, expecting an attack. As the soldiers pushed into the complex, Daemon noticed a hidden passage behind some tapestry. He and Vaegon investigated the tunnel where they encountered and confronted a fleeing pirate leader trying to escape with a fat stack of coins.

Three years later, Daemon would join a local tournament in Braavos where he fought admirably and edged out a hard-fought victory. For his skill with a sword, king Viserys the older had Daemon inducted into the dragon guard.

## Timeline

* 369 AC - Daemon is born to Baelon and Myra, and comes into the world alongside Maesa.
* 375 AC - Myra’s body is found in the Drowned Town under mysterious circumstances.
* 376 AC - At the behest of his father, Daemon begins his tutelage under a Braavosi swordmaster.
* 386 AC - Daemon and his cousin Vaegon join a group of house soldiers in tracking down and defeating a pirate crew.
* 389 AC - Daemon wins a local tournament in Braavos, and is inducted into the dragon guard by king Viserys the older, at the age of 19.

House Lannister

**House Lannister** of Casterly Rock is one of the Great Houses of Seven Kingdoms, and the principal house of the westerlands. Their seat is Casterly Rock, though another branch exists in nearby Lannisport.

Their sigil is a golden lion on a field of crimson. Their official motto is "Hear Me Roar!"

## History

### Targaryen Era

When the Wars of Conquest began and Aegon the Conqueror swept through the land, Loren I, King of the Rock, sided with Mern IX Gardener, King of the Reach, against the Targaryens. The two armies met in the Reach, where the combined might of the Reach and the Rock broke Aegon's army. Their army, dubbed by historians 'The Host of the Two Kings', numbered fifty-five thousand men; five thousand of them mounted knights, while the Targaryens had only ten thousand men, many of uncertain loyalty and reliability.

With their smaller force severely weakened and in danger of routing, Aegon and his sisters deployed all three dragons at once; the only time this happened during Aegon's Conquest. Their combined fires scoured the battlefield, immolating more than four thousand men (including King Mern and his heirs) and giving the battle its name: The Field of Fire. After he was captured, King Loren the Last bent the knee and was allowed to remain Lord of Casterly Rock and became the first Warden of the West.

In more recent times, during the lordship of Tytos Lannister, the house fell on hard times. Tytos's weakness allowed him to be bullied by his vassals, Houses Reyne and Tarbeck. Eventually his son Tywin crushed the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt and restored the house to its former glory. Soon thereafter, Tywin was made Hand of the King by Aerys II Targaryen, holding that position for many years. When Aerys was held hostage by Denys Darklyn, Tywin's conservative approach took six months to resolve the Defiance of Duskendale. This instigated Aerys's paranoia and drove a wedge between the two, along with the king's lusting after Joanna Lannister, Tywin's wife, cousin, and trusted confidante.

### Baratheon Era

The royal marriage and the increasing amount of gold Robert I Baratheon owes to Lord Tywin Lannister have only increased Lannister power. Much of Tywin's energy is directed inward, ensuring all of his relatives do their part to uphold the family name.

On behalf of Balon Greyjoy, Lord of the Iron Islands, Euron and Victarion Greyjoy began Greyjoy's Rebellion with the burning of the Lannister fleet. Tywin joined Robert and Lord Eddard Stark in invading the Iron Islands, however, and the rebellion was defeated.

Tywin attended the tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day in King's Landing. Queen Cersei Lannister and her children accompanied Tywin during his return to Casterly Rock; en route they were informed of the death of Jon Arryn, Robert's Hand of the King.
Sparrow Isle

Sparrow Isle is a small island located just west of the northern aspect of the Shadow Lands in the Far East.

## Geography and Location

Sparrow Isle is due east of the second largest island in the Jade Sea, Leng, located offshore from the estuary of the river Forlorn. To the south is the famed and mysterious city of Asshai.

## Topography

Sparrow Isle is somewhat of an anomaly among the other isles of the Jade Sea in that it is not covered in thick jungle. Instead it is dominated by near-arid plains and crags, the vast horizons broken only by queer flat-topped trees of orange and pink. It is claimed that once Sparrow Isle was also covered in forest, but the people of Yi Ti and Leng came and cut down the forest for use in creating a great fleet. The cruel winds that tear across the Shadow Lands ravaged the isle in the centuries after, leaving it barren of its once rich and lush soils.

A few fishing villages exist along the northeastern coast and are patrolled by riders upon steeds not dissimilar to the camels used by the people of the Slaver's Bay
Титан (станция метро)

**Титан** — станция Бухарестского метрополитена. Станция расположена в районе Sector 3.

Открыта в 1981 году в составе участка «Тимпури Ной» — «Република». Название дано по рядом расположенному одноимённому парку. Станция находится на пересечении улицы Ливиу Ребряну.

«Титан» — односводчатая мелкого заложения с одной островной платформой.
The Isle of Tears

The Isle of Tears is the largest of the Basilisk Isles, which are located off the northwestern coast of Sothoryos. To the west of the isle is Basilisk Point, to the north is the island of Talon, and to the northeast is the Isle of Toads. Steep-sided valleys and black bogs hide amongst the rugged flint hills and twisted, windswept rocks of this southern island.

## History

The Old Empire of Ghis founded Gorgai on the southern coast of the Isle of Tears. The dragonlords of the Valyrian Freehold captured the city during the Third Ghiscari War and, renaming it Gogossos, used it as a penal colony. Gogossos grew powerful during the Century of Blood, but the Red Death eventually spread from the city's slave pens across the Isle of Tears and other Basilisks.

## Gogossos

The city was large enough to nearly rival that of Norvos or Qohor in size, but following the Red Death has fallen into great disrepair.
Sandglass Isle

Sandglass Isle is an island found in the western aspect of the Jade Sea.

## Location and Geography

Sandglass Isle is located south of the isle of Lesser Moraq and to the east of the much larger Hammerhead Isle, between which and Sandglass Isle the Breakfin Strait can be found.

Sandglass Isle is covered in a thick jungle filled with wildlife, trees and shrubs alike. Among the flora are tall fast-growing bush that produces cylindrical wood-like stems that is useful as a building product and has since been imported to the Empire of Yi Ti and Qarth alike.

## Nomenclature

The name Sandglass Isle is supposedly given to the isle in recognition of a great battle that took place upon its shores. A dragonrider from the Golden Empire of the Dawn ravaged the isle so cruelly in millennia past that the very beaches of the island turned to glass, and from the waves the sands glimmered and glows for years to come.
Robb Stark

**Robb Stark** was the eldest son and heir of Lord Eddard Stark. He would go on to be named the King in the North after Lord Eddard's execution at the hands of King Joffrey I Baratheon. After leading a successful campaign against the forces of House Lannister, he, his mother, and many of his principle bannermen would go on to be killed at the infamous Red Wedding.
Yeen

Yeen is an ancient city, one of three known to exist on mainland Sothoryos (the others being Gorosh and Zamettar). It is among the most mysterious cities in the known world. It is said to have been described by Princes Nymeria of the Rhoynar as "a city so evil that even the jungle will not enter it."

## Geography

There is little near Yeen, save for the Green Hell that surrounds it and the Zamoyos River that flows by it to the east.

## History

Little is known of Yeen. Its origins remain a mystery to the most learned of scholars and explorers from Oldtown to Qarth. The structures of the city itself are made of massive slabs of oily black stone, the very same that the Toad Stone on the Isle of Toads is constructed of. Maesters have postulated a connection between the oily stones of Yeen and the Isle of Toads with the object of the Bloodstone Emperor's worship, but there is no evidence to support that.

What is known, however, is that despite thousands of years of abandonment Yeen is utterly untouched by the jungle. Beyond that, any effort to colonize the cursed city has ended in horror. Most recently the Rhoynar sent there by Princess Nymeria suffered horribly over the course of a year. People would disappear in the night, taken by what the Rhoynar called "brindled ghouls." As disease claimed many and the local wildlife claimed more, the settlement dwindled.

One day goods and messages simply ceased to come out of Yeen. Princess Nymeria dispatched ships to reestablish communication with her wayward colony, but the ship returned with the report that every last man, woman, and child in Yeen had vanished without any trace.

Today Yeen remains as it always has, a black mystery at the edge of the known world. Intrepid explorers that travel up the Zamoyos to Yeen would no doubt find it untouched by the jungle as it has been for millennia.
Rodrik Baratheon

**Rodrik Baratheon** is a scion of House Baratheon of Storm's End. He is the younger of a pair of twins, his brother being Lothar Baratheon.

## History

### Early Life

Rodrik Baratheon was born in 367 to Lord Corwin Baratheon and Lady Ravella Swann. He came out of the womb second to his identical twin Lothar. His childhood would be a normal one filled with love, he and his brother Lothar were inseparable. They also displayed the Baratheon fury, Berserker, that so many of his kin before them had.

At the age of 9, Rodrik would be sent to Kings Landing to become squire for Lord Tyrek Lannister. He was an aged man, that was for sure, but he held much wisdom. Lord Lannister would teach Rodrik much about life, strategy and raising wealth while his master at arms taught Rodrik how to fight and ohh how he loved to fight with blunt weapons.

### Brynden's Rebellion and the Dornish-Triarchy War

In 381 he went to war with Lord Lannister. He wasn’t on the front lines as he was only 14 but he still served honorably. At the age of 16 he took part in the siege of Riverrun and was eventually knighted at wayfarers rest after assaulting it. He nearly died from a crossbow bolt but his armor blocked it from killing him.

After getting knighthood he would go fight in the Dornish-Triarchy war but not before stopping at his home of Storms End. There he would meet and take Daemon Foote as a squire. Additionally he would meet Mya Royce. It would be two weeks before he left but in that time he developed quite the crush on her and she on him.

He would go on and serve in the Dornish Triarchy war, being the veteran of another war, his experience was invaluable. He served in his brother Gawen’s vanguard riding along with his other knights. He sustained a small injury leaving a scar on his forehead but nothing serious.

### Post-war

After the war he would return to Storms End and even though it was years, the crush between Rodrik and Mya hadn’t weened, in fact it started blossoming. Over the course of the next month they fell in love although no betrothal came.

Rodrik would remain by his brothers side for the next couple years till 387 where he would travel to the Vale. He couldn’t stand being away from Mya for so long. He spent time with Lord Andar Royce and got to know him better, he feasted with Lord Grafton in Gulltown and fought mountain clansmen with Lord Cobray and Hugh Royce.

After the year he returned to the Stormlands and now is traveling to Kings Landing for the Kings Tournament.
Sunspear

Sunspear, also known as the Old Palace, is the seat of House Nymeros Martell and the capital of Dorne. The castle is located on the Broken Arm, north of the Greenblood on the far southeastern coast of Westeros and is surrounded on three sides by the sea, and by the shadow city on the fourth side.

The palace of the Water Gardens lies three leagues away on the coastal road.

## Layout

### Sunspear

Sunspear is a walled settlement, protected by three massive Winding Walls, encircling one another and containing miles of narrow alleys, hidden courts, and noisy bazaars. The Threefold Gate, where the gates are lined up one behind the other, avoids the labyrinth, instead allowing straight passage on a brick path to the Old Palace.

One of Sunspear's chief structures is the original stronghold of House Martell, the Sandship, which is a large, ugly, dun-colored building that looks like a dromond. Over time, towers in Rhoynish fashion sprung up around the keep. Two other chief structures are the tall and slender Spear Tower and the great, domed Tower of the Sun. The Spear Tower is a hundred and a half feet high, and can house noble prisoners. In the Tower of the Sun, the high seats of the Prince of Dorne can be found: two twin seats, one with the Martell spear inlaid in gold upon its back, the other bearing the blazing Rhoynish sun. These two towers are the first things visitors see when they arrive at Sunspear, whether by land or by sea.

A portrait of Princess Daenerys Targaryen hangs in Sunspear.

### Shadow City

The closest thing to a true city that the Dornishmen have, the shadow city is no more than a queer, dusty town. Built against a wall of Sunspear, the shadow city spreads westwards. Closest to Sunspear's walls, mud-brick shops and windowless hovels can be found. Stables, inns, winesinks and pillow houses are found west of those, with walls of their own. More hovels have been build against those walls, which in has led to the city becoming a labyrinth of narrow alleys, homes, and bazaars.

Around 400 BC, the three Winding Walls were raised, running through the shadow city, forming a defensive curtain. Only the Threefold Gate provides a straight path to the Old Palace, allowing visitors to pass all three of the Winding Walls directly, without having to pass through the labyrinth of the shadow city. If need be, these gates can be heavily defended.

## Recent History

During the Dornish-Triarchy War, Sunspear and the Shadow City were sacked heavily, much of the riches stolen and the groves of crops and trees in the surrouding lands burned. The settlement continues to recover from the damage dealt.
Forley Fossoway

Forley Fossoway was a member of the Kingsguard that served for over thirty years under three different Kings.

He is affectionately remembered by the smallfolk as the White Apple.

## Appearance and Character

As immortalised in the song *The Sweetest Fruit*, Ser Forley Fossoway was loved dearly by smallfolk and nobleborn alike for his calming presence and careful approach to conflicts.

Many likened Ser Forley to the Knight of Flowers, another beautiful and popular member of the Kingsguard from the Reach.

## The White Apple

Ser Forley Fossoway was granted the white cloak during the reign of King Eddard I Baelish to fill the space left absent by the death of Moryn Florent. By this time, Ser Forley had already made a name for himself in the lists of tournaments from Storm's End to Casterly Rock.

A few years later, he would distinguish himself during the fighting of the Hand's War, laying the groundwork for what would eventually be his appointment a decade and a half later to the role of Lord Commander in 365 AC. He would serve in the role for eleven years, before his own death in 376 AC.

The announcement of his demise triggered widespread mourning through the Seven Kingdoms, with taverns being filled with those speaking his valour and Septs glowing bright for the candles placed before the effigies of the Warrior.
The Pact

The Pact is the name given to the agreement signed by King Edmund I Baelish at the behest of the Archon of the Triarchy at the end of Dornish-Triarchy War.

It was signed at the Tree of Crowns in the Disputed Lands near the end of 381AC.

## Conditions

* The Stepstones would remain Triarchy territory in perpetuity, and Westerosi vessels would pay taxes to pass through them, “as a contribution to the cost to guard against piracy prone to spring up amongst the isles.”
* Any actions by Westerosi or Westerosi-affiliated individuals to overturn the control of the Triarchy upon the entirety of the Stepstones will be treated as a deliberate declaration of war by the Iron Throne against the Triarchy of the Three Daughters.
* The Triarchy would also receive favoured trade rights with the Iron Throne in perpetuity over the other Free Cities and reduced tariffs and import taxes for vessels calling port at the major cities of Westeros compared to their competitors.
* In exchange, the Trairchy agreed to return the hostages taken, but only if they wished personally to return to their lives in Westeros. Also returned were the Valyrian steel sword *Oathkeeper* of House Tarth, and the spear *Stranger's Kiss*, taken from the Ullers. Most notably, House Toland refused to return the weapon known as *Usurper* that they had seized from the corpse of a Volantene noble - so far, little has come of it, and common belief in Westeros is that the slain noble was the last of his line, exiled from the First Daughter during its Emperor's series of purgings.
Rhyos

Rhyos is a ruined city found within the Valyrian Peninsula.

## History

Rhyos was founded by the Valyrian Freehold. Although rich and glorious, it did not have self-rule and was instead governed by men and women sent from Valyria to rule in the name of the Freehold and thus it is not counted among the Free Cities. The city was devastated by the Doom of Valyria.
Noble Families of Norvos

The city of Norvos is split into two distinct regions, the High City and the Low City. The wealthy residents of the city all reside within the High City, their manses built around the Fortress-Temple of the Bearded Priests and the Bell Tower, from which Noom, Narrah and Nyel ring.

It is from the noble families of the city that the Bearded Priests choose the magisters, but it is rarely the Head of the family that is selected, for concerns of preference to the well-being of their family rather than the best interests of the city are thought to cloud their judgement and decision-making.

## Main Families

### Ahrohr

The Ahrohr family resides in a manse constructed of marble and granite, in contrast the slate and limestone from which most of the High City is constructed.

The family also owns land with the Hills of Norvos to the north, and through it utilise trade with the nearby city of Lorath to further increase their wealth and standing.

### Hotah

The Hotah family are a family split in two by internal conflict, as twin brothers both vie for control after the death of the Head of the family, and the ambiguous nature of the subsequent final testament. Already six members of the family have left the city, wishing to seek out lives elsewhere in Essos, some even crossing the Narrow Sea to Westeros, and two more have met with their demise.
Raven Men

The Raven Men are a sellsword company based primarily out of the Free Cities, although they have been known to travel east to the Slaver's Bay for work if the coin offered is to their liking.

## History

Unlike the company known as The Black Wings, the Raven Men were not founded by deserting Brothers of the Watch; it is instead believed to have been named such as a reference to the company's tendency to serve as armed messengers, often filling much the same purpose in Essos as a trained raven would in Westeros.

## Recent History

The Raven Men were among the sellsword companies hired by the Archon and his men during the Dornish-Triarchy war.
Sarne

The Sarne is a river in northern Essos located east of the Forest of Qohor and north of the Painted Mountains.

Its western tributaries begin in the hills south of Vaes Khadokh, while its eastern tributaries have their sources in the western Dothraki sea. The Sarne flows north into the Shivering Sea, with the cities of Saath, Vaes Graddakh and Morosh located in the Sarne delta.

A Valyrian road connecting Vaes Khadokh to Vaes Khewo crosses the Sarne.

## Tributaries

The river Sarne has numerous tributaries which join it along its course through the Great Grass Sea.

* The river Ceznhe, which joins it between the cities of Vaes Khewo and Vaes Acchaka.
* The river Shakhe, which joins it near the city of Vaes Sorfo.
* The river Kewhe, which joins it at the city of Vaes Vaz.
The Black Wyverns

The Black Wyverns are a sellsword company based in Essos.

## History

The Black Wyverns take their name from the story of the company's formation: a Braavosi pirate lord, whose name has since been lost to history, found his fleet attacked by a fierce creature as it lay moored near the ruined penal colony of Gogossos in Sothoryos.

Studying the great, dark-scaled beast for a number of weeks, the man eventually sprung his trap, capturing and slaying the wyvern

After tales of his victory, accelerated largely in spread by his bold tongue prone to boastful talk began to reach the ears of the Free Cities, he found himself inundated with contracts, and thus the Black Wyverns was created.
Saath

The City of the Tagaez Fen

Sails

The port of Saath, with its white walls, is one of the northernmost city and only remaining city of the once vast Kingdom of Sarnor. During the Century of Blood, Saath was the only city that held the final stand against the Dothraki.

## Geography and Location

Saath is a city in northern Essos at the western end of the Sarne delta along the Shivering Sea. It is west of Vaes Graddakh, southwest of Morosh and north west of Vaes Gorqoyi. Saath is connected by a Valyrian road to Vaes Khadokh further to the south.

## History

The people of Saath have long feuded with their Ibbenese neighbours to the northeast.

## Layout

* The Khal of Nothing - erected in the city square is a monument of tremendous stature, towering above 40ft high and stretching across a 30ft square, a carving that depicts the tenacity of Saath stands. Finely crafted and to scale figures of Dothraki falling at the hands of the Sarnori to commemorate the refusal to fall and die at the hands of the Horse Lords, as Saath remained the unconquered during the Century of Blood.
* The Bell of Saath - one of the tallest structures in the known world, architects, scholars and craftsmen would spend five years perfecting the bell. The hope was they could create a bell-tower with the perfect height, design and structure that the sound would reach the furthest Kingdom. Whilst it became clear that such a thing was an impossibility, the sound of golden bell stretches to each of the cities that surround the Sarne Delta, although serves little purpose now
Tournaments and Feasts

Tournaments and feasts are important social events in Westerosi culture. Men test their martial prowess in various events, and their female counterparts look on. Many of Westeros' great historical events occurred at tournaments and feasts.

A typical tournament will include a joust and a melee, though some tournaments have included boat races, horse races, archery competitions, and more. Feasts are highly dependent on the wealth of the lord throwing it, the fare can vary greatly.

## Tournaments

A list of the great tourneys since the ascension of House Baelish to the Iron Throne.

### Tournament of Bigglebrook, 324 AC

The Tournament of Bigglebrook was notorious at the time as among the bloodiest in recent memory. Two hedge knights, Ser Maldon Massey, and Ser Jonos Terrick perished and more than a dozen other noblemen were injured in the course of the event.

**Winner of the joust:** Ser Alvar Wagstaff

**Winner of the melee:** Ser Tytos Blackshield

### Tournament for the Coronation of King Eddard I Baelish, 331 AC

The first tournament held in King's Landing in forty years, it was a splendid affair and an early indicator of King Eddard's wanton spending and disinterest in rule. The king himself participated in the events, nearly winning both the melee and the joust.

**Winner of the joust:** Ser Erryk Peake

**Winner of the melee:** King Eddard I Baelish

**Winner of the boat race:** Ser Andrew Estermont

**Winner of the archery competition:** Ser Colin Tarly

### Tournament of Rook's Rest, 333 AC

A small tourney meant to celebrate the marriage of Lord Staunton's heir to Lord Rykker's eldest daughter became the largest event of the year when, much to Lord Staunton's surprise and distress, King Eddard wrote of his intention to attend. When word of the king's coming spread, knights from across Westeros began to arrive. Lord Staunton was nearly bankrupt in the effort to feed the unexpectedly large crowd.

**Winner of the joust:** Ser Lucamore Footly

**Winner of the melee:** King Eddard I Baelish
Stone Head

**Stone Head** is the northernmost isle in the archipelago known as the Summer Isles. To its south is the isle of Walano and the port of Last Lament. To the south-east is Abulu, known otherwise as the Isle of Women.

## Description

It is a moderately-sized island but supports only a small population, as much of the southern half of the island is dominated by a rocky promontory that gives the island its name. Efforts have been made over the centuries to claim some of that land for farming, but little grows there.

On the northern coast are a myriad of fishing villages and small farms supporting a number of villages that are oftentimes too small to be paid any mind to by traders from mainland Essos, most of whom would be much better served by a port like Last Lament.

They are, however, more frequently preyed on by slavers than anywhere else in the Summer Islands. Slave raids are infrequent at the worst of times, but happen nonetheless. Villages have devised a warning system of fires along the shoreline to be lit when one village is attacked by the slavers, so that all might be prepared. This defense has thwarted many a slaver, as they know the danger they face when the Summer Islanders emerge from the forests with their goldenheart bows.
Tommen I Baratheon

> "*The world is full of horrors, Tommen. You can fight them, or laugh at them, or look without seeing.*"
> ― Jaime Lannister
>
>

**Tommen I Baratheon**, also known as **the Boy King** for his extreme youth, was briefly King of Westeros before his sudden death in 303 AC that lead to a Great Council. Believed to be the son of Robert I Baratheon, he inherited the throne after his older brother Joffrey I Baratheon was poisoned. He briefly married his own brother's widow, Margaery Tyrell, before she was widowed again by him.

## History

### Great Council (303 AC)

> *Main Article: Great Council of 303 AC*
>
>

Tommen Baratheon, the Boy King, was only twelve years old when he died. Sickness was what carried Queen Mother Cersei’s second son off, as opposed to the foul play in his older brother’s demise. No, it was nature that did this deed. The blood of Robert Baratheon was thought to be strong and would save him, though nothing the Grand Maester produced could stop the fever that drained his body dry.

With the young king on the Iron Throne buried with honour and his mother left to her deep grief, the eyes of the Realm turned to who would rule next. Tommen had no progeny to speak of, being too young to consummate his marriage to the thrice-crowned queen, the lady Margaery. With the future of the Seven Kingdoms hanging in the balance, it was decided that a great council would be summoned in the Capital, to determine the next King -- Or Queen.

### Legacy

Tommen is scarcely remembered due to his youth and the briefness of his reign, though many cite his death as the cause for the great council.
The Isle of Toads

The Isle of Toads is one of the Basilisk Isles, located in the bay off the northwestern coast of Sothoryos, northeast of the Isle of Tears and west of the Zamoyos delta. It is home to the Toad Stone.

## History

There are ruins of an ancient civilisation on the Isle of Toads, and the modern inhabitants are believed to descend from those who carved the Toad Stone. They may be the only remnants of a forgotten race, since they are described as having an unpleasant, fish-like aspect to their faces, and many have webbed hands and feet.

## Recent History

Toad Town is the name given to the settlement built near to the forty foot high statue of a toad from which the island and the colony takes its name. Each day the blood of a goat, fish and bird are spilt at the statue's base.
Yellow Slopes

The Yellow Slopes are a region in the Disputed Lands, due west of the Violet Lake.

## Recent History

The ownership of the Yellow Slopes has been long disputed, with the Myrish, Lyseni and Volantenes all staking claim to the lands. Conflicts have been frequent, but largely petty and thus far very little has been established.
