Pachycephalosaurus

***Pachycephalosaurus*** is the last, largest, and most famous member of the Pachycephalosauria, or thick-headed dinosaurs. In the 1970s paleontologist Peter Galton proposed that male pachycephalosaurs used their dome heads as battering rams, like Bighorn sheep. But by the 1990s, scientists began to question Galton's head butting theory. It was pointed out that animals who do butt heads have a wide surface area where the heads come into contact to prevent "head slippage." This happens when two animals butt heads at high speed and do not hit straight on. The risk breaking their necks when their heads suddenly snap to one side. *Pachycephalosaurus* has a domed, or rounded, head, which would minimize surface contact and therefore increase the risk of head slippage. This throws doubt on the idea of any high speed head-butting between pachycephalosaurs, but it does not exclude "head-pushing" of "head-ramming" against non-pachycephalosaurs.
Marillion

Marillion is a minstrel. Catelyn Stark and Rodrik Cassel meet him at the Inn at the Crossroads. He is trying to impress them with talk of his great skill and popularity with the nobility. 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.
Qhorwyn Hoare

King **Qhorwyn Hoare**, also known as **Qhorwyn the Cunning**,was a King of the Iron Islands and a man of House Hoare.

Qhorwyn was considered a shrewd king who avoided war and instead chose to build up his wealth. He tripled the size of the Hoare fleet and ordered the creation of additional weaponry to dissuade enemies from attacking.

Qhorwyn's eldest son died of greyscale, and his second son died after falling from a horse whilst Qhorwyn was on his death bed. Qhorwyn was succeeded by his third son, Harwyn, who used his father's military to conquer the Riverlands.
Quellon Greyjoy

## Appearance and Character

Quellon has been considered one of the wisest of the Greyjoys. He stood six and a half feet tall, and was both strong and fast.

## History

Quellon fought corsairs and slavers in the Summer Sea during his youth. He commanded one hundred longships during the War of the Ninepenny Kings. Quellon once sacked Faircastle during the rule of Lord Tytos Lannister over the Westerlands.

Quellon tried to reform the ways of the Ironborn, and reintegrate them with the rest of the Seven Kingdoms. He freed thralls, forbade most reaving, discouraged salt wives and encouraged marriages with mainland houses.

Quellon's health was failing during Robert's Rebellion, however, and it was only after the Battle of the Trident that he brought House Greyjoy into the war against the Targaryens. He led fifty longships against the Reach, leaving most of his ships to protect himself against House Lannister.

Quellon died during his attack on the Reach, being killed during the Battle at the Mander. His eldest surviving son, Balon, succeeded him and rejected most of his reforms. The Ironborn contribution to the war proved to be minimal.

**Myles Toyne**, also known as **Blackheart**, was a captain-general of the Golden Company and an exiled descendent of House Toyne.

History

Myles Toyne was a descendant of Ser Terrence Toyne, a Kingsguard knight caught abed with one of King Aegon IV's mistresses. Myles was known as Blackheart because of the sigil on his shield. He enjoyed the nickname and what it implied, as a captain should be feared by friends and foes alike; if people thought him cruel so much the better. However, Myles was not cruel. A soldier to the bone, he was firm but fair. His good friend Jon Connington considered Myles full of life.

After his death Myle's skull was dipped in gold and placed upon a company standard. He was succeeded as captain-general by Harry Strickland.

Otho is mentioned to be the new heir to Stone Hedge after his elder brother dies of the Great Spring Sickness. His father was dying slowly, apparently.

Afterwards Brandon Stark along with several companions of his went to King's Landing to demand her release and Rhaegar's head, leading the Mad King to order his deaths, as well as the death of Brandon's father, for his actions. She was betrothed to Robert Baratheon, who never accepted her death and mourned her for the rest of his life. Her passing was hard on Ned, as well. In his fever dreams, Ned remembers promising Lyanna something, and seeing her on "her bed of blood" surrounded by blue flowers. She was an important cause of Robert's Rebellion, which led to the destruction of the Targaryens and brought the Baratheons and Lannisters to the Iron Throne.

Qarth

**Qarth** is a great trading and port city, one of the largest and richest cities in the known world. It is located on the south coast of Essos, on the Straits of Qarth which link the Summer Sea to the Jade Sea. It lies to the south of the forbidding desert known as the Red Waste, which divides the city from the Dothraki Sea to the north and acts as an effective deterrant against Dothraki raids on the city.

Qarth is inhabited by a people known as the Qartheen. Trade is the lifeblood of the city, as almost all trade between the cities and nations of the Jade Sea and the lands to the west (the Free Cities, Slaver's Bay and Westeros) passes through its port. The city's merchants command immense wealth and a power. The city is also famed as being the home of the Warlocks of Qarth, who are feared and respected across much of Essos.

## Geography

Qarth is located to the north of the island of Great Moraq, with the Straits of Qarth (also called the Jade Gates) dividing the island from the mainland. Although most travel to and from Qarth is accomplished by ship, the city is also linked to other lands by roads. To the west and north-west lie the smaller ports of Qarkash and Port Yhos, and beyond them the farming nation of Lhazar. To the east roads skirt the southern foothills of the Bone Mountains before passing into the nation of Yi Ti, the greatest kingdom on the Jade Sea.

## History

The ancient history of Qarth - such as its status during the days of the Valyrian Freehold - is not known. What is known is that Qarth has become immensely rich and powerful through its dominance of trade along the south coast of Essos.
