Gulltown Skirmish

- Illegal goods seized.

The Smuggler's Crash, also known as the Gulltown Skirmish was a recent confrontation between the fleet of House Gulltown and confirmed smuggler's who operated out of a restored merchant cog. After being tipped off by a local resident, the city guard informed the Lord of Gulltown who decided it was time his son seen conflict.

Two war-ships paced around the cog, and demanded their surrender, yet the Merchant Cog dropped their sails onto full mast and tried to escape, and when they proved unsuccesful, opened fire on the war-cog Shepherd's Delight in which three men on the top deck where killed.

The flag-ship, Blue Destiny rammed into the weakened cog and sunk it, with minimal damage to it's own front barge. Ten men managed to escape on row boats, with only two men being engaged upon boarding them.

Fourteen of the smugglers were picked up, where they were hung on the deck of the ship. This is one of the most recent engagement in which Blue Destiny was deployed.
Karhold

Karhold is the seat of House Karstark in the north. It is located along a forested river in the eastern half of the north, south of the Bay of Seals. Further to the east are the Grey Cliffs.

## Layout

A strong castle, Karhold is smaller and meaner than Harrenhal.

## History

The castle was built by Karlon Stark, a younger son of Winterfell, who was awarded land after defeating a rebel lord "a thousand years ago". The castle was named Karl's Hold after Karlon, but over centuries the name developed into Karhold and the Karhold Starks became the Karstarks.

Similar to the northern mountain clans, older men of Karhold leave to hunt during winter to ease the burden on younger generations.
Alekyne Florent

Alekyne is the third of four sons by Alesander Florent. From birth he was naturally more skilled in the martial aspects than his brothers. He squired for Lord Middlebury, a vassal of Florent to foster a better relationship. After being knighted he wandered the Reach until hearing of the War of the Trident and returning home to help his family fight. He served with distinction and was made a Greenhand Knight after the death of his predecessor in the conflict.

In 298 AA, on the Tenth Moon at the Council of Harrenhal, Ser Alekyne would lose an eye in his attempts to defend his King against the guards of Harrenhal, when Lord Mallister and the Lords of the Trident attempted to illegally detain to the King of the Reach, Gwayne XI Gardener.

He would later be honourably discharged from the Order of the Greenhand and named a commander of the Gardener armies.
Dacey I Stark

2 Daughters

**Dacey I Stark** would rule after her brother's death in 139 AA until her own in 173 AA. She became known as the Wolf Who Waited, following her refusal to take the crown following the disappearance of her brother and father in 114 AA.

Jorge Dustin would serve as Prince-Consort until his death in 169 AA, at which point Queen Dacey I would become noticeably sullen and withdrawn, all but alone save for her children. Many at court in Winterfell noted increasingly frequent visits to the Barrows in the final four years of Queen Dacey I's life-- visits to her late husband and advisor.
Felstrong

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

## 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.
Edric VIII Stark

**Edric Stark**, eighth of his name, was King of Winter and Lord of Winterfell from the death of his father until he was deposed in 40 AA by his younger brother.

When the Skagosi rose in rebellion, Edric crushed them. When the Hill Clans rose in rebellion under House Liddle, Edric wiped out the Liddles. He became known as 'The Grim', as opposed to his brother's eventual moniker of 'The Good', and lost a vicious civil war for his throne.

Following his defeat, Edric took the Black and served for three decades upon the Wall before disappearing on a ranging.
Duskendale

**Duskendale** is a large port city off the coast of Blackwater Bay. It is located the captial of the Kingdom of the Dusklands and the seat of House Darklyn. Several other minor houses, sworn directly to House Darklyn, also claim the port capital as their Keep, but to a lesser extent.

## Description

The town spreads out around the harbor and has cobbled streets. The gatehouse opens to a market square. The castle of House Darklyn that overlooks the port is the Dun Fort, a squat square stone castle with big drum towers. Duskendale is surrounded by strong walls which shimmer palely in predawn. Guardsmen wield spears and wear chain mail hauberks. The largest inn in Duskendale is the Seven Swords, across from which lives a skilled painter, the sister of the captain of the gatehouse. Duskendale contains multiple septs.

## Houses of Duskendale

* House Dargood of Duskendale
* House Darke of Duskendale
* House Darkwood of Duskendale
* House Rykker of Duskendale
Donnel Snow

**Donnel Snow** was the leader of The Barrow Princes during their third and final rebellion against House Stark. Of the Barrow Princes, Donnel came the closest to taking the Winter Throne for himself.

## History

Donnel claimed descent from Syrus Snow, though records differ on whether he claimed Syrus was his father or more distant kin as the latter is much more feasible than the former. Through this bloodline, he assumed his rightful place as leader of the Barrow Prince rebels but he was content to bide his time and build support as his predecessor had.

His true identity concealed, Donnel became one of King Benjen XIV Stark's most trusted commanders and military advisors. Many say it was Donnel who convinced Benjen to launch the disastrous Bloody Wolf's War against the Kingdom of the Trident, and some even suggest that Benjen's demise did not come from Lord Mallister but instead at Donnel's hand akin to how Syrus Snow murdered Brandon XVI Stark. Regardless, after saving Northern morale and leading the Northmen to victory against the Riverlanders, he was immortalised as the Hero of Seagard amongst his soldiers.

Whilst reports differ on the fate of Benjen Stark, Donnel's cold-blooded murder of Edderion Stark - brother to King Rickard VII Stark - was well known as the starting point for the Third Barrow Prince Rebellion. Following this act, the North descended into three long years of civil war as supporters of the Last Barrow Prince arose in every corner of the Kingdom.

## Betrayal and Death

Lord Reed, who had long served as a staunch supporter of the Barrow Prince, had tired of the war after his heir had fallen in battle. Unbeknownst to Donnel, he broke bread with the Winter King and an agreement was made. Rickard lured Donnel and his forces deep into the Neck, where Donnel thought the Crannogmen would come to his aid, and they fought a terrible battle at Hell's Myre. For three days the armies fought in the swamp until horns blared and fresh soldiers arrived from the south. Thinking it the Crannogmen, Donnel rallied his army to break the loyalist's line but he had been deceived. At the army's head was King Quentyn III Fletcher, and behind him were thousands of angry Riverlanders.

Donnel was bested in combat by the King of the Trident and when he died the Barrow Princes died with him. Though his body was never recovered, his death was well witnessed. Still, rumours abound that another Barrow Prince still lurks in the shadows and they will return to do that which Donnel and his forebearers could not - it is only a matter of time.

Of course, the stories of the Barrow Princes are now just tall tales for children. There is as much truth to these claims as those of Grumkins and Snarks, White Walkers, and the Children of the Forest.
Cletus IV Yronwood

### Titles

the Bloodroyal, High King of Dorne, King of the Greenbelt, the Redmarch, and the Dornish, Knight of the Wells, Lord of the Stoneway, and Master of the Green Hills

## Family Information

### Children

Yoren Yronwood

**Cletus IV Yronwood** was the Bloodroyal and tenth King of the Kingdom of the Greenbelt. He was widely regarded as a good king, though was slowly falling to madness near the end of his reign. He ruled from 184AA to 200AA. He died in battle defending his Kingdom against Essosi Pirates.

Cletus was a steadfast and strong king. A fighter by nature, he was always on the front lines with his people whenever conflict broke up. Though some whispered that is was this lust for battle that lead him to an early grave.
Argella Durrandon

**Argella Durrandon** was the daughter of King Argilac Durrandon, the first and only Storm Queen to rule in the Stormlands.

## Early Life

Little is known about Argella Durrandon's early life. She was born in the aftermath of King Argilac the Arrogant's victory over Garse IV Gardener at the Battle of Summerfield, in 18 BA. Her upbringing was standard for a Princess in the Stormlands, or was otherwise unremarkable.

In the years leading to Aegon's Failed Conquest, her father offered her hand to the Valyrian in order to create a buffer between the Stormlands and the lands of Harren Hoare to the north. This effort achieved precisely the opposite, however, as the resulting exchanges prompted Aegon to invade Westeros properly.

## Aegon's Conquest

King Argilac and his men learned of the end that Harren the Black suffered within his mighty castle-- nothing would be safe from dragon's fire. It would be decided that the Stormlands would sally forth and engage the Targaryens in the field rather than wait to be burnt alive within their walls.

So began the battle that would be known as the Last Storm, called such for the severe thunderstorm that blew in as the battle began. Argilac and his men would fight nobly but ultimately be defeated by the dragon Meraxes.

Argella would crown herself Queen, being the only child of King Argilac. The garrison at Storm's End, however, feared the dragon's fire. They mutinied, stripping the Storm Queen bare and delivering her in chains to Orys Baratheon. After a forced wedding, the Lord Baratheon treated Argella cruelly.

After the Field of Valor, Argella's erstwhile husband returned home beaten and wounded. While he slept on his first night back, Argella drew a blade across his throat and reclaimed her home.

## After Aegon

The Storm Queen quickly married a loyal household knight, Ser Boros Cole. Just as quickly, they conceived a child. Unfortunately the peace would not last-- King Edmund Gardener viewed the Stormlands as weakened by its ordeal in the Last Storm, and invaded the marches. The Reachmen would take Nightsong, Harvest Hall, and Blackhaven in relatively short order and despite the efforts of a host lead by Ser Boros Cole himself-- Ser Boros would perish in the fighting.

Queen Argella would not survive her husband by long. The stresses of childbirth proved too much for her body to bear, and she passed away after delivering her only son, Durran XXVII Durrandon.
Bitterbridge

Bitterbridge, formerly known as Stonebridge, is the seat of House Caswell in the Reach.

## Layout

Bitterbridge is situated where the river Mander meets the Roseroad. It takes its name from an ancient stone bridge that crosses the Mander. The castle is small, made of stone and timber. The keep is not that tall, but the land is low and flat and makes it seem taller.

## History

The ironborn of old would raid the Mander as far as Stonebridge in their longships.

The Battle of Stonebridge was one of the battles of the False Storms War. After the Battle of Fallen Stags, the castle was known as Bitterbridge.
Arianne I Martell

**Princess** **Arianne I Martell** was the sixth Princess of the Principality of Dorne. She ruled from 103AA to 124AA. From a young age, she was a wanton and buxom woman, the most lustful of all the rulers of House Martell. Having lost her maidenhead at the age of four and ten, she was rumored to have hundreds of lovers, though this is most likely embellishments from House Yronwood. In reality, she more than likely had thirty or thirty two lovers.

During the War of the Women, she sent economic aid to Jeyne Yronwood, though earned the enmity of Yoren II Yronwood, who put down her fledgling invasion before it could even begin. Arianne I Martell also fought against the Kingdom of the Stormlands alongside the Triarchy over the Stepstones, stealing captured admirals as temporary paramours before killing them.

She died from a pox from one of her lovers in 124AA. Despite the disgust that would come from such in the Greenbelt and places out of Dorne, she was well loved.
House Prester

House Yarwyck

**House Prester of Feastfires** is one of the principal noble houses sworn to House Lannister of Casterly Rock. Their seat at Feastfiresis located at the westernmost point of the westerlands.

Their blazon is a red ox on ermine. Their motto is not mentioned in the books, but according to semi-canon sources it is "Tireless".
Balaq

A gaunt and drawn man, wild eyed and oft twitching.

## Biography

The son of Salazor Saan and Kojja, a Pirate Captain that paid him tribute, the result of a season’s romance that ended sourly Salazor would rarely visit his son but was kind enough to acknowledge the boy as his own. Balaq would take after his mother and was raised in the Stepstones and Summer Isles as Kojja’s hunts ranged far. As a boy Balaq began to be afflicted by panic attacks and fits, pressing his mother’s limited patience when she was not off reaving.

It was discovered however that for reasons none could explain the boy’s panic attacks occurred rarely when aboard a ship and with a bow in hand the shaking fits would disappear entirely. With an escape from the misery that was his life on land waiting for his mother to return Balaq threw himself into the two pursuits with abandon. From pirates who spent their whole lives at sea he would learn Sailing and from his mother’s Summer Islander crew he would be taught Archery until his fingers bled.

He would serve on his mother’s crew until nearly a man grown when she died. Uncertainty would fall on the crew then as to what to do next, one man - a long time companion of his mother would say that Balaq was too young, unfit and unproven to take over as Captain. Balaq opened his throat in the night as he slept and claimed his place as his mother’s successor.

He would continue to engage in mid level piracy with his greatest coup being the capture of the favourite son whose father, so desperate to pay his ransom even took out a loan from the Iron Bank. It was in drunk celebration of this event that he met Saererya Saan, together they would prove far more successful with her encouragement and advice he would prove to be a natural Commander. They would engage in a myriad of schemes that Balaq would never had dreamt of on his own, including a ploy with an Ibbense Whaler to defraud Braavosi insurers, on Bloodstone they would swindle a pirate lord out of his hoard, across the length of the coast of Essos they would be pursued by Sellsail Pirate Hunters for two months until finally they trapped the Sellsails against the shallows and burned them to a man. Over the years numerous other Pirate bands paid tribute to them and until they stood strong enough to claim the Stepstones, which Balaq saw as rightfully his (and Saererya’s at it would turn out). They would later suffer somewhat of a break up and Balaq would find resting on his laurels a failed plan as the panic attacks and fits began to return.

Teora Yronwood

**Archibald III Yronwood** was the Bloodroyal and the thirteenth King of the Kingdom of the Greenbelt. He ruled from 250AA to 274AA. His reign was considered one of the most perilous of House Yronwood. However the Kingdom sighed a breath of relief when he bore many sons and many daughters. The King himself remains an enigma to many maesters of this day, for he never confided in anyone but himself. Those that knew him said he was the greatest strategist of his time, and could have destroyed the Torrentine if he continued to attack.

The King married Obara Blackmont after the Vulture War.
Harlon

Harlon is a Sworn Sword of House Greyjoy, and a sword of Andrik Greyjoy

## **Biography**

The babe that would become Harlon was born to a farming family on the banks of the Mander, in 273. He was the last child out of five. While he was born quite normally, as the boy grew it became apparent that he did not meld with his siblings. With a shock of blonde hair and an *unnatural height*, he would quickly catch someone’s attention before any of his siblings.

His father, being a man of the plow, put Harlon to work in the fields as quickly as possible. In lieu of an auroch or some other costly beast of burden, he simply used his children. While the others did well enough, his father quickly realized that Harlon was the most efficient of them all. The boy tilled fields and pulled plows by hand. The work was brutal, and without reward. It made the boy *strong* and near tireless.

His life was simple for much of it’s early years. Brutal work, followed by beratement from his father and siblings. His mother had passed when he was only 6 years old, the singular light in his life gone. However, in 285 AA, the Ironborn came.

Many suffered during Cotter’s War. Villages plundered, families destroyed, loot taken. Harlon was no exception. It was a rainy night when the Ironborn came screaming into his village, axes sharp and teeth bared. His father hid, like a coward. Ironborn are persistent, however, and without much delay his father’s head hung from the belt of the reaving Lord. His siblings fled, and their fate beyond that is a mystery. Some died, more than likely. Others might have made it to safety.

But Harlon would not flee, and would not hide. As Ironborn came upon his family farm, Harlon greeted them with a broken haft, and sprang upon them like a crazed animal. The boy was quickly dispatched, but one of the Ironborn stayed his execution. Lord Andrik Greyjoy looked the boy in the eye and offered him a choice. “Do you want to live, boy, or die like the rest of them?” The farm was in ruins and his family was gone. Harlon was carried back to Andrik’s ship, and put into the Greyjoy’s service as a thrall.

He was put to work in the mines on Pyke, his physique making him ideal for the work. However, Andrik saw a better purpose for the boy. In 292, as he went to the West to reave, he brought the boy along. The lad was already as of larger build than Andrik, and could serve well to terrify the Westermen. Harlon proved himself a capable warrior in the West, fighting the Greenlanders with every ounce of his freakish strength.

Andrik rewarded the young Harlon, making him one of the Lord’s personal swords, a station which the big brute seems to have been destined for. He is near perpetually by the Greyjoy lord, or accompanying one of Andrik’s many siblings

The **Brísingamen Squadron** (ブリジンガメン戦隊,, *Burijingamen-Sentai*?), also known as the **Queen's Knights** (女王の家臣団,, *Joou no Kashindan*?), was the squadron led by Vladilena Milizé following the Spearhead Squadron's departure. The squadron boasted one of the lowest casualty rates of any other squadron.

The squadron was later integrated into the Eighty-Sixth Strike Package as the **1st Armored Group's Headquarters Defense Squadron "Brísingamen"** (第一機甲グループ本部直衛戦隊“ブリジンガメン”,, *Dai-ichi Kikou Gurūpu Honbu Naoe Sentai "Burijingamen"*?).

## Role

The Brísingamen Squadron played an important role during the defense of the Republic in convincing the rest of the Eighty-Six to join Lena's cause. They worked as Lena's hands and feet on the front lines, preparing for the day the Legion committed to a large-scale offensive.

Their role within the Strike Package was to defend the 1st Armored Group's mobile headquarters: the Vanadis. They are also capable of acting as an assault squadron on the front line. The Brísingamen Squadron was temporarily disbanded following the Mirage Spire Operation due to the deaths of many of its members, such as its deputy. The remaining members were reassigned to other squadrons before being reorganized in preparation for Operation Overlord. They have currently returned to active duty as of Operation Lorica Sacra.

Durran XXIX Durrandon

**Durran XXIX Durrandon** would rule from 222 AA to 248 AA. King Durran XXIX would be known for his lengthy reign, being among the longest since his namesake Durran XXVII in the aftermath of the Failed Conquest. His reign would be as peaceful as it was long.

He would marry Lady Jeyne Trant and in short order produce two heirs, Rolland and Ravella.
Lyonel IV Arryn

Lyonel IV Arryn was the ninth King of the reformed Kingdom of Mountain and Vale. He ruled from 240AA to 265AA. Lyonel Arryn would succeed his father, and courtesy of the late King Robar's efforts he had a betrothal to Lady Melissa Fletcher, daughter of the King of the Riverlands. Several years into their marriage the first child, Andar Arryn, was born. A full decade later their second, Osgood Arryn, would be born.

Rumors of a new coalition of mountain clans reached the Eyrie, however. King Lyonel hunted for them, following any clue to their whereabouts for many moons until, fatefully, those clues lead him into a trap. Mountain clansmen ambushed King Lyonel, slaying him in the battle. His personal guard returned his body to the Eyrie, delivering it to his son Andar personally.
Eddisson I Arryn

**Eddisson I Arryn** was the third King of the reformed Kingdom of Mountain and Vale. King Eddisson Arryn ascended to the throne in the midst of a widespread plague of winter fever, one which had thus far spared the Vale. His lords saw the decimation of the surrounding kingdoms as an opportunity for expansion once again, but the King refused.

Instead of conquest, King Eddisson Arryn invested resources into the construction of the Vale, building ports, creating commerce and lead House Arryn into an era of prosperity. Some said he spent so much time on these projects he forgot to extend his own line. He ruled from 37AA to 90AA.

Harras I Drumm

**Harras I Drumm** was twenty-first King of the Kingdom of the Iron Islands.

He was the brother of King Harwyn II. After his brother's death, he took up the kingship, since Harwyn's son was young and untested. Though he attempted to capitalize on his brother’s success and glory, the many that followed him at first soon realized he was a weak. He followed in his brother’s footsteps too well, into an early grave.

He was slain by Ser Colin Florent, the Knight of Foxes.
House Oakheart

House Oldflowers

**House Oakheart** **of Old Oak** is a noble house sworn to House Gardener of Highgarden. Their lands are located along the west coast of the Kingdom of the Reach, on the borders of the Kingdom of the Rock along the Ocean Road.

House Oakheart traces its lineage back to Garth Greenhand, through his half-giant son John the Oak. It is through John the Oak that House Oakheart is claimed to be the progenitor of chivalry in the Reach and, indeed, in all of Westeros.

As part of the long history of violence between the Reach and Dorne, House Oakheart is a particularly nettlesome opponent of the Dornish, House Dayne of Starfall in particular.
House Bracken

**House Bracken of Stone Hedge** is an old house from Stone Hedge in The Kingdom of the Trident, one of the main families sworn to House Fletcher of Harrenhal. However, following War of the Trident, House Bracken now presses their claim, as they descend from a bastard of King Quentyn III Fletcher. They blazon their arms with a red stallion upon a golden escutcheon on brown.

## History

### Age of Heroes

The Brackens have the blood of the First Men in their veins and were kings of the riverlands during the Age of Heroes. They have an old and bitter feud against their neighbors, the Blackwoods. According to the Brackens, the Blackwoods were vassals who betrayed the Brackens and usurped their crown.

### Andal Riverlands

The Brackens and Blackwoods allied together against the Andal invasion, but they were defeated in the battle of the Bitter River. The feud has continued throughout the years, aided by House Bracken's change to the Faith of the Seven after the Andal invasion. The Blackwoods believe the Brackens poisoned the weirwood at Raventree Hall. Battle Valley and the village of Blackbuckle are part of the disputed land. There have been numerous peaces between the Brackens and Blackwoods, many sealed by marriage, but the feud always restarts. Benedict Rivers was a bastard born from both houses who eventually became King Benedict I Justman.

When Lady Agnes Blackwood led the resistance of the river lords to King Harwyn Hoare, Lord Lothar Bracken attacked Agnes's army from behind. It is possible Lothar hoped to become King of the Trident after Harwyn defeated the Storm King Arrec Durrandon, but House Hoareinstead took the riverlands for themselves. Harwyn starved Lothar to death when he later rose in rebellion.
House Orkwood

H**ouse Orkwood of Orkmont** is a noble house from the Iron Islands, with its seat on the island of Orkmont.

They blazon their arms as dark green pines strewn closely together on yellow.

In the century after the downfall of House Justman, the Vances were among the petty kings who disputed the riverlands. The Vances of Atranta joined the Blackwoods and the Tullys in rebellion against King Humfrey I Teague. Both Lords Vance were slain in the ensuing war. Lord Robert Vance rebelled against the ensuing rule of House Durrandon, but he was eventually defeated.
Matthos Dayne

Matthos Dayne was the second son of Ashara I Dayne and lead an attempt at usurping his brother, Mace I Dayne, ultimately resulting in his own demise.

## Early Life

The boy that sought to steal his brothers throne was once a timid and shy child, compared to his aggressive and angry brother Mace. His royal blood prevented any teasing, but it happened all the same behind closed doors. During his childhood, he was a well learned and polite man, but in equal parts a fierce warrior. He was close friends with the heir to House Barker, Edric and would eventually fall in love with his eldest daughter, Tansy.

But Lord Barker had other plans. He married the girl to Mace instead of Matthos. Enraged, Matthos greatly became angry with his brother and Lord Barker, though later on he would follow him all the same.

## The War of the Vulture King

During the War of the Vulture King, Matthos Dayne for once agreed with his brother, suggesting to go to war over the supposed funding of the Vulture King. After their defeat, he left for Essos.

## Life in Essos

Having left the world he knew behind, he sought to make a name for himself as a mercenary. He roamed from band to band, slowly gaining a reputation for himself as a reliable but quiet sword.

He took part in the Five Year War for Myr on the side of the Braavosi, having finished a contract with the Company of the Cat a year prior.

During the first year of the war, he fought hard, having survived countless battles, his contract ran out. With word of his brothers failings in the air, he decided that he was not going to die for some Sealords empire, he did what many believed he would never do. He declared he was returning home, and to home he went.

## Conversion

During his time in Essos, he met a number of people with various faiths. His long and deep talks on philosophy and religion led him to doubt the orthodoxy of the Seven. When he returned, he no longer believed the Seven were One.

## The Brother's War

In 271AA through 272AA, he conspired with a repentant Lord Barker, and married his second daughter, the woman who's maidenhead he had taken in his youth. He bore a sickly child with her that he named Joffrey.

Though he held Starfall for a year or so, he lost it all when King Mace and his allies took the castle back. Nonetheless, both he and his brother slew each other at the Battle of the Wailing Bridge. Mace's son Maric II claimed the throne, but Lord Briar refused to surrender the rest of the keep, declaring Joffrey as King Joffrey I Dayne and himself as regent. Several weeks into a siege, the remaining Briar men surrendered both the boy and their Lord in a mutiny after word spread that the newly crowned Bloodroyal was raising men to march in support of King Maric II.

It all came to moot when Joffrey Dayne died a day later. The war was over.
Elric I Stark

**Elric Stark**, first of his name, was declared the King of Winter after his victory in a civil war remembered as the Tale of the Good and the Grim - where he deposed his brother.

A fair and kind King, he became known as Elric 'the Good' leading to the civil war being named as it was. He ruled for over half a century and brought much-needed stability to the North.
House Hightower

Defender of the Citadel

Beacon of the South

House Costayne

House Cuy

House Mullendore

**House Hightower** **of Oldtown** is a noble house sworn to House Gardener of Highgarden. Their lands are found at the mouth of the Honeywine River, along the western coast of the Kingdom of the Reach.

Lords of House Hightower traditionally wield the Valyrian Steel sword *Vigilance*.

## History

In antiquity House Hightower were Kings in their own right, ruling much of the southern half of what is today the Kingdom of the Reach. The city of Oldtown's defenses were hardened by repeated reavings by the ironborn and invasions from the Gardener Kings to the north or their Dornish neighbors to the south.

Over time the Hightowers would build stronger walls and taller towers, rendering the city into the most formidable in Westeros.

Legend has it that the stone High Tower itself on Battle Island is a construction by Bran the Builder himself, built on the base of the ancient black fortress that once dominated the island.

More recently, a Lord of House Hightower would be noted for his involvement in the battle known as the Hammerfall at Harvest Hall in 18 AA. His forces from the western Reach would be intended to be the hammer that would strike the forces of King Durran XXVII Durrandon, but they would be thrown back nonetheless.

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.
Klick

**Klick** was a Moderator of Iron Throne Role Play. Klick first joined ITRP in 2.0, before becoming a Moderator during 3.0. He stepped down in 6.0 to join the Maester Team.

## Mod History

#### Early Career

Klick first joined ITRP during 2.0 as Corin Whitehill, Lord of Whitehill. During this iteration Klick would rise to prominence as he led an attack against House Forrester as Corin, completely destroying the House. During this time, Klick also went on to play Loreon Lannister, and more notably Quenton Greyjoy, the Lord of Pyke. Klick was the third player of Lord Greyjoy that iteration, and would play Quenton on until his death.

For 3.0 Klick decided to dream a bit bigger, and was given the character of Prince Aegor Targaryen, the Master of Laws and brother of the King. Not long into the game Klick began raising banners in open rebellion against the crown. His campaing was cut short, as was his character, upon being betrayed by his Kingsguard, the mute Robyn Tarly.

#### Joining the Mod Team

Following several changes to the Mod Team in 3.0, Klick was brought on as a Junior Moderator to assist with monthly turn threads.

In Character, He would not give up upon his dream, however, and eventually what the crown as Valarr Targeyn, Aegor's grandson (but not before blowing up the Red Keep). Klick also played as Jon Stark, the Black Wolf of Winterfell in 3.0. As well as Harwyn Drumm, Lord of Old Wyk.

4.0 saw Klick returned both to House Stark and to his roots in the form of Lord Corin Stark. He would serve Beron Baratheon as Hand of the King throughout a majority of the game up until his defeat and death at the hands of Aelyx Targaryen and Aron Connington. Klick also participated in the plot of the Wall and Beyond as Rogar Longshanks, King-Beyond-The-Wall. Klick would be involved in every major battle of 4.0, as well as killing Orys Baratheon.

Klick once again dreamed big for 5.0, playing Daemon Blackfyre, Third of his Name, King on the Iron Throne.

### Mod Jobs

Klick serves the Mod team for lore and mechanics purposes. He is Head Loremaster for designing backstories for iteration and, along with Ron, works to create the In-Game mechanics that all players use, most notably revamping the Spy & Espionage System for 5.0
Ib Alo

Ib Alo is an Ibbenese settlement on the northern coast of the peninsula known as The Axe.

It is built on the ruins of the Norvoshi town of Nyssos.

## History

After the Battle of Ash Bay, the Ibbenese sought to consolidate their victories in the southwest. Having defeated the major threats in the area, the Ibbenese send out colony vessels, first seeking to rebuild Ib Skag, then constructing two more settlements from the ruins of the Norvoshi towns of Nyssos and Lesser Rasvos, renaming them Ib Alo and Ib Nes respectively.

Explorers sailing southwest from Ib required safe places to stop on their ventures, and what became Ib Alo began as a ringfort atop a hill overlooking a relatively deep natural harbour. It was by happy accident that while digging on the old hill an Ibbenese miner discovered silver surprisingly close to the surface and thus a small but profitable mining operation began.

Almost overnight Ib Alo became less of a stop for whalers and explorers and more of a destination in its own right. Over the years what had been a simple harbour became a mining town, and what had been a ringfort became a more stoutly defended strongpoint supplemented by stone walls and a pair of tall turrets.

## Notable Locations

* The Silver Fort - The hilltop fort is not the product of careful planning, being cobbled together over the years. Ibbenese craftsman built stone walls where the old wooden palisades once stood, but used the peninsula's ample lumber to construct a pair of towers that overlook the harbor and the mine at the base of the hill.

* Alo'chak Mine - Described rather plainly as the Silver Mine in the Ibbenese tongue, this is almost the sole reason for Ib Alo's relative prosperity. The entrance is small even by Ibbenese standards, measuring only inches taller than the average man of Ib. In the harbor town the sound of mining can be heard echoing up through the tunnels, the work proceeding night and day. Shipments of silver ore leave for Ib at irregular intervals, usually six to eight days apart.

* The Harbour Town - Arranged around the harbor is a growing town, three blocks wide at its widest point. The wooden docks have yet to be replaced by more permanent stone structures, but can service all but the largest whaling ships and even the odd cog. Whale products are valuable, and seal hunters have begun to move in. Seal pelts, blubber, whale oil, bones, and meat can be found in plenty at the local markets.

The northernmost portions of Ib Alo are dominated by residential structures, communal homes for the miners and two inns for sailors and whalers. This is the fastest-expanding section of Ib Alo, with entrepreneurs and their families driving the construction of many homes.
House Caron

**House Caron of Nightsong**is one of the prinical noble houses in the stormlands, sworn to Storm's End.  They rule from Nightstong and hold the title Lord of the Marches, although they do not hold dominion over other marcher lords in the Dornish Marches.

Their blazon is a field of black nightingales on yellow.  Their words do not appear in the books, but according to semi-canon correspondence it is *No Song so Sweet*.

## History

The Carons date back to the Age of Heroes, and they are a family known for creating warriors and singers.  They claim their nightingale sigil has been in 1,000 battles. Maester Yandel states Nightsong has been sworn to Storm's End since time immemorial, but also that the Kingdom of the Reach once included western marches from Horn Hill to Nightsong.The Carons and Swanns both claim to be the oldest of the marcher lords.  The current head of House Caron is Lord Ben Caron, currently serving as Lord Seneschal of the Stormlands.
House Reyne

**House Reyne** **of Castamere** is a noble house of the west and one of the most powerful bannermen sworn to the King of the Rock. Their ancient seat of Castamere is an unimpressive sight to the naked eye, appearing little larger than a keep belonging to a landed knight, but is, in fact, a vast subterranean fortress.

Castamere is also a deep mine akin to Casterly Rock, with rich veins of gold and silver, and because of this the wealth of the Reynes is considered second only to the Lannisters themselves. They were amongst the first Western houses to kneel to the Lannister Kings, through the marriage of King Loreon I Lannister to a Reyne daughter, and the two houses have intermarried frequently since.

## History

During The Pride War House Reyne, led by Lord Jason Reyne, were amongst the chief supporters of the rebel Kevan Lannister. Though defeated following Kevan's death at Lannisport, Jason cultivated support amongst his fellow rebellious lords. When the line of succession was again called to question in The Time of Troubles, Jason Reyne declared himself King of the Rock and marched to claim his throne. Again the Red Lion was beaten, and Lord Jason humbled in single combat by Tywin Hill himself, and the Reynes retreated to Castamere to lick their wounds and mend the realm fractured by their ambition.

Jason's sole heir, Lyonel Reyne, worked tirelessly to restore his family's place at the Lannister's side. He ruled for half a century, though not long enough to see his efforts truly bear fruition. During Lyonel's reign, his eldest son Ronald - along with his son's wife and infant daughter - was lost at sea and the Lord was forced to act as a father for his orphaned grandsons.

Highwatch

Highwatch is one of the fourteen major islands that make up the Stepstones in the Narrow Sea.

## History

Highwatch is famed for its towering peaks, and the small outpost at the tip of the tallest of the range, which shares the name of the island.

Although plagued by storms and rain, on a clear day the outpost offers views of nearly all of the Stepstones, as is thus a very useful resource for the Pirate Lords to observe their domain from.
Mariah I Martell

Oberyn Martell

Casella Martell

**Princess** **Mariah I Martell** was the fourth Princess of the Principality of Dorne. She ruled from 61AA to 86AA. Firm and fair, Mariah Martell joined forces with House Dayne against the Kingdom of the Greenbelt during The War of the Spottswood. She gave Yoren I Yronwood a humiliating defeat during the war herself. When the war ended, she took Lord Fowler as hostage for a year, before returning him. By the end of the year, Lord Fowler had died of poison, many suspecting Mariah Martell as the culprit. The next year, she too died of poison, though Yoren I Yronwood too died at the hands of the assassins of the Principality in 89AA.

She was comparatively less wanton compared to her family, losing her maidenhead to her husband on their wedding night, never taking a paramour, and lecturing her children(though to poor success) on the virtues of chastity and faith.
House Rogare

Once the most wealthy of all the noble families of Lys and the historical owners of both the Rogare Bank and the Sathmantes Mint, the Rogares have fallen onto harder times as of late. During the attempted coup of the city by the Ostyris family, the Rogare Bank was heavily damaged, and the head of House Rogare slain. Despite this, the favour of House Rogare is often sought, both by those in Essos, as well as across the Narrow Sea in Westeros. The prospect of getting their hands on some Rogare gold has driven many a king into making a trip to Lys, although it is now with House Sathmantes they will find themselves treating.
House Manwoody

House Manwoody of Kingsgrave is an old Dornish noble house. Its seat, Kingsgrave, is placed amidst the Prince's Pass, guarding access to Dorne.

They blazon their banners with a white skull with a golden crown, over a black field.

## History

The arms of the house and the name of its castle refer to the fact that the founder of the house slew there a King of the Reach.

King Albin Manwoody claimed dominion over the Red Mountains of Dorne when the Rhoynar arrived in Dorne. Rhoynish warrior queen Nymeria and her husband, Prince Mors Martell, defeated King Albin. He was subsequently sent to the Wall in golden fetters, together with five other defeated Kings of Dorne.

During the Dornish Civil War, the Manwoodys followed their lieges of House Fowler in supporting House Yronwood against House Martell and House Dayne.

Ser Lucas "the Fist" Manwoody serves on the Bloodguard.
