The region was probably inhabited by children of the forest and giants before the arrival of the First Men, and numerous animals have made it their home as well.

Legend says that Casterly Rock is named for the family that ruled it in the Age of Heroes, the Casterlys, who no longer exist. The Lannisters trace their rule over it back to Lann the Clever, who tricked the Casterlys out of their castle and claimed it for his own. Some claim that Lann still haunts the fortress, which has never fallen.

## **Layout:**

Casterly Rock is carved out of a great stone hill colossal rock beside The Sunset Sea. It is popularly believed to resemble a lion in repose at sunset.

The Casterlys of antiquity built a ringfort on the peak, and as millennia have passed its natural defences have been expanded with walls, gates, and watchtowers. The base of the Rock contains large sea-carved caverns. The stone has been mined for thousands of years, so there are hundreds of mineshafts in the depths of the Rock, as well as yet untouched gold veins.

It is almost two leagues long from west to east, and contains tunnels, dungeons, storerooms, barracks, halls, stables, stairways, courtyards, balconies, and gardens. In the bowels of the Rock are rooms where caged lions were once kept, and cells for the worst prisoners. The castle contains a sept.

* **The Lion's Mouth -** the main entry to Casterly Rock, is an enormous natural cavern reaching two hundred feet high. Its steps are now wide enough for twenty riders. Its port has docks, wharves, and shipyards and is accessible by longship and cogs. From below the Rock thunder can be heard, where the sea comes in.

Shireen is regarded as a sweet child, who is quiet around others after years of stares and mocking words about her greyscale scars. She enjoys her own solitude, rather reading a book or waiting for people to come and see her, rather than spending time with the rest of court at Storm's End.

Selyse resents Shireen because she could not give Stannis a healthy son, only a sickly daughter, and dismisses her as stubborn and sinful. Shireen, in turn, tries to avoid her mother, because she is frightened by Selyse's fanatical devotion to Melisandre and the Lord of Light.

She is usually seen in the company of Patchface, their mad fool that she calls "Patches", though his ravings sometimes frighten her. Shireen has also suffered from nightmares for years.

Shireen asked to see Davos Seaworth, calling him by his traditional soubriquet, "The Onion Knight". Shireen brings Davos a book about Aegon the Conqueror to pass the time, but the Onion Knight admits he cannot read. Shireen takes this in stride and begins to teach him.

Tyene Sand

**Tyene Sand** is a bastard daughter of Prince Oberyn Martell and his paramour, Ellaria Sand, and one of The Sand Snakes. She is the fourth eldest of Prince Oberyn's daughter's, also his eldest by his paramour, Ellaria Sand.

## **Appearance and Character:**

Tyene fights using a pair of long daggers, though her other signature weapon is her skill with poisons - a tactic she learned from her father. Like her father, she is known to coat her blades with poisons, making a single scratch lethal.

Tyene tends to heedlessly charge ahead. This is exemplified by her choice of daggers as her main hand-held weapon: they are quick on the draw, allowing her to lash out quickly, before even her older sisters can restrain her.

Tyene can feign being soft-spoken and childlike, but this is just an act to keep her enemies off guard, as she is just as fierce as her older sisters.

Despite her innocent and pious persona, Tyene is regarded as treacherous. Her soft pale hands are as deadly as Obara's callused ones. She shares her father Oberyn's knowledge of poisons, her chosen weapon.

Tyene owns a clinging gown of pale blue samite with sleeves of Myrish lace, as well as a cream and green gown with long lace sleeves.

## **History:**

Tyene Sand is the third of the eight bastard daughters of Prince Oberyn Martell, known as the "Sand Snakes". She is also his eldest daughter by his paramour, Ellaria Sand.

Tyene spent her youth at The Water Gardens with her cousin, Princess Arianne Martell, and the two grew as close as sisters, learning to read, ride, and dance together. They have shared meals, jewellery, beds, and onetime a flagon of wine stolen by Arianne.

Tyene and Arianne once fled Sunspear to try to marry Arianne to Willas Tyrell at Highgarden, but they were caught by Tyene's father, Oberyn Martell, at Vaith. Oberyn also once brought Tyene with Arianne and Sarella Sand to Shandystone, where he showed Tyene how to milk vipers for their venom.

## **Appearance and Character:**

Edmure is fond of smiling and pretty girls, but is sulky and sullen when angered. According to Catelyn, Edmure dislikes singers because one once slept with a girl fancied by Edmure. According to Tom of Sevenstreams, Edmure once drank too much and was unable to "perform", so Tom made a mocking song about a floppy fish. Edmure is friends with Lymond Goodbrook, Patrek Mallister, Marq Piper. Edmure did love his family, especially his sister Catelyn.

Edmure is a well-meaning but often impetuous man. As a military leader, he shows himself to be fairly competent but a little proud. Despite being described as a fool by The Blackfish, Edmure was not a bad person nor a true fool, as he was capable of recognizing and apologizing for his mistakes.

## **History:**

Edmure was born as the third child and only living son of Lord Hoster Tully and Minisa Tully of House Whent. Edmure's mother died while giving birth to a baby brother, who also died.

As a youth, Edmure was known as hot headed but good hearted. He had a number of friends who had similar characteristics, most notably Marq Piper. Edmure once broke his arm after falling from an elm in Riverrun's godswood. When Lords Tytos Blackwood and Jonos Bracken visited Hoster to discuss their feud, young Edmure, his sisters, and Petyr Baelish drank wine when the adults were preoccupied. Edmure dubbed Petyr as "Littlefinger", on account of House Baelish's holdings on The Fingers and Petyr's short stature. Because Edmure served as Brandon Stark's squire when Petyr duelled Brandon, the wounded Petyr sent Edmure away when he tried to visit afterward.

Hoster refused an offer by Lord Walder Frey to wed Edmure to one of his daughters. Princess Arianne Martell wanted to accept Hoster's offer for her to meet Edmure at Riverrun, but Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne, declined hopping his daughter would marry the Crown Prince, Aegon Targaryen.
