**Dawn** is the ancestral greatsword of House Dayne of Starfall.

The current wielder of Dawn is Ser Justyn Dayne.

## Appearance

## History

According to legend, the founder of House Dayne tracked a falling star to the mouth of the Torentine, and Starfall was then constructed where a magical stone was discovered. The greatsword Dawn was forged from the heart of this fallen star and has possibly been wielded by Daynes for ten thousand years. The sigil of the Daynes depicts the white sword and falling star.

Battle of Smoke and Sorrow

With distraction in place, Aelyx and Maekar lead the real invasion force in two separate landings on Dire Den and Massey’s Hook respectively. Maekar takes his forces south, splitting it up into three parts: one to take the Northern Stormlands, one to besiege Storm’s End, and one to strike into the heart of the Reach.The Northern Crownlands submit to Aelyx and his dragon at frightening speed. Brune, Celtigar, Antlers and Mooton holds out for a precious few days, before eventually bowing to the might of the dragon.

King Alaric Baratheon rallies the Northern Crownlands and marches north to meet the enemy threat. At the same time. Lord Frey, wishing to have a different legacy than his infamous ancestor, gathers all of his available levies and the levies of the houses sworn to him and marches south at a blistering speed to Darry.

Aelyx takes Northern Crownlands and spends a few days consolidating his power and turns his gaze westward towards Harrenhal and the Riverlands at large. Hears about the large royal army, rumoured to be lead by the King himself, massing at Darry and sees it as an opportunity to win the war before it even begins. Waltyr Tully and Robin Royce severely admonish Lord Frey, and caution him to take a more measured approach. Lord Frey promptly throws said caution to the wind.

Aelyx sets a cunning trap for the combined Royal Baratheon-Frey army. Takes advantage of Darry’s record breaking wheat harvest and sets the crops in massive piles all over the fields. When the Royal forces arrive, Aelyx takes flight on his dragon and sets the fields ablaze for miles and miles. In the confusion, many die of smoke inhalation, while those who flee are cut down by Aelyx’s light cavalry. King Alaric the Arrogant tries to lead a desperate sortie, but meets his end at the gaping maw of a hungry dragon. Lord Frey is crushed under the feet of his own retreating men, whilst attempting to rally his men. The battle is a colossal defeat, and ends all hope of a quick military victory against the Targaryen usurpers in the North. The newly appointed Lord Frey leads what little forces he has left to the Crossroads.

They dueled for nearly an hour, their Valyrian swords Blackfyre and Lady Forlorn clashing loudly. At last, Blackfyre struck Gwayne's helm and left him blind and bleeding. Daemon dismounted to tend to his foe and ordered Redtusk to carry Gwayne back to the maesters for healing, an action that afterwards some considered decisive, since it gave the Raven's Teeth enough time to find a good position to fire the arrows that killed Daemon.

Petyr Baelish's great-grandfather was born in Braavos, and came to the Vale as a sellsword hired by Lord Corbray.

### Baratheon Era

During Robert's Rebellion, Lyn Corbray fought Lord Jon Arryn at the gates of Gulltown, and later joined him at the Battle of the Trident, where he slew Prince Lewyn Martell.

Defense of the Golden Tooth

Aelyx and his dragon have swept across the Riverlands, meeting minimal resistance under the secret direction of Lord Tully. Seeing that his rule is going unopposed, Aelyx directs his troops to take the Westerlands and seize the gold that is necessary to repay his backers. Lord Lefford is greeted by the surprising sight one morning of a massive Riverlander host under the command of Lord Robyn Royce that volunteers to hold the Golden Tooth until the Westerlands can marshal its forces. For three months, Robyn Royce rallies the defenders of the Golden Tooth and along with Lord Lefford’s men, and other Westerland volunteers, they ensure that Aelyx’s forces never cross the Golden Tooth and the Westerlands remain unmolested, as the Dragon’s pride refuses to let him go around.

At the same time, Lord Lyonel Lannister marshals his remaining forces and takes a lengthy amount of time to prepare his men for a counter-attack while maintaining the vital supply lines to the Golden Tooth.

Lord Arryn realizes that unless he wanted to share the fate that his father had when he was very young, he could not defy Aelyx and his dragon. Instead, he sent his servants to get in contact with Lord \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Vance and the Vale soon became the main supplier of the Riverlands Liberation Front. He provides the weapons, food, and information that Tully needed to keep the morale of the Riverlands from collapsing.

At the same time as Lord Arryn is supplying the eastern Riverlands, Lords Banefort and Westerling sends supplies to the western Riverlands as well as raiding around the Whispering Wood to ensure that Aelyx cannot bring his full might against the Golden Tooth and must waste precious time, resources, and men in a vain attempt to track them down.

High Septon (The Crimson One)

## High Septon

The High Septon known as "the Crimson One" was a central figure in the Great Schism between 375 and 377AC, ushering in a brief but tumultuous era for the Faith.

Once a man named Septon Terrence Redfort, rumours long stand that he poisoned one of his rivals for a position in the Most Devout, extorted money out of a lord, and fathered three bastards.

## Appearance

The Crimson One was a tall and imposing man, said to be build of nothing but muscle and bone. He kept a well trimmed beard, and was never seen smiling. He traditionally wore blood red robes with a gold lining and trim.

## History

Elected as High Septon in 375 AC, the Crimson One began his rule with accusations of corruption and murder levied against him, though no concrete evidence of these claims ever surfaced.

When on a visit to the sept of Lannisport in the same year, news of a heretical movement, lead by the Smith, prompted the Crimson One to call for the formation of his own faith militant, the Crimsons, initiating the Great Schism.

For two years, the Crimson One and his new faith militant, with support from the then Lord Lannister, brutally hunted down and repressed the Smith's followers. When the death toll, noble and common, had risen to intolerable levels, King Alaric I Baratheon intervened and forced the Crimson One to disband his faith militant, ending the Great Schism.

In 382, the Crimson One was found murdered in his private chambers along with one of his alleged bastards. He had been castrated, and his head had been smashed in, undoubtedly by the bloody mason's hammer left behind on the windowsill.

High Septon

The **High Septon** is the head of the Faith of the Seven, and rules from the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing. Considered the avatar of the seven aspects, the High Septon is thought to speak with the voice of the One.

The current High Septon was elected in 391 AC. He is known as the "Discreet One."

## Position and Duties

The High Septon and the Most Devout convene in the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing, a vast building of white marble with seven crystal towers. Prior to being stationed in King's Landing, and before the arrival of the Targaryens, the seat of the Faith was the ornate Starry Sept in Oldtown, which was constructed of black marble with stained glass windows set in pointed arches.

The selection of a new High Septon is traditionally in the hands of the Most Devout but the will of past kings has sometimes influenced their choice. This was most notable during the reign of Baelor the Blessed, who had a stoneworker and later an eight-year old boy chosen for the office.

A new High Septon extends the practice of septons giving up their family names by renouncing any kind of individual one. This is due to the belief that the individual becoming High Septon is no longer a man but an avatar of the One. This leads to trouble distinguishing between various past holders of the office, as one can only refer to them by descriptions such as "the stonemason one" or "the fat one" or the "one before the fat one." High Septons usually wear a great crown made of crystal and gold while performing their duties.

## Historical High Septons

* High Septon, during the War of the Three Stags and the First Targaryen Rebellion. Known as the "Fat One."

* High Septon during the Second Targaryen Rebellion. Known as the "Brown One."

Andrew Tyrell

Owen Tyrell is the firstborn son of Lord Willas Tyrell and Marissa Rowan. He was Lord of Highgarden between 317 and 348, and was succeeded by his oldest son, Lord Garlan Tyrell. His wife was Amara Merryweather.

## Appearance

Owen had brown hair kept short, and grey eyes. He was of above average height and had a lean appearance during his life.

## Personality

Owen is remembered as a just and fair ruler who put his vassals over outsiders. He was loyal to the Baratheons, and cared deeply for his people. He is also remembered for his diplomacy, and for cultivating a friendship with his vassals, and even House Martell despite generations of tension. He had a deep dislike for House Lannister and the Targaryens.

## History

The son of a scholar, Owen grew up a free thinker and did not allow preconditioned thinking to get in the way of his judgments. This was shown by his unprecedented friendship with Prince Qoren Nymeros Martell of Dorne, a decision and relationship that many of his vassals questioned at the time.

In 331, to celebrate the birth of his firstborn son, Garlan, Owen hosted a tournament at Highgarden where all lords and ladies of the realm were invited. After losing the melee, Ser Mandon Cuy--a knight of House Tyrell--threw his sword at his opponent, Lord Lannister’s children, who were seated in the audience. It started a brawl that Lord Owen Tyrell and his guest Prince Qoren Martell disbanded. Lord Lannister demanded Mandon's head, but instead Mandos was banished from Highgarden and his associates were fined. The Lannisters did not accept the apology and promptly left Highgarden, but Prince Martell proved himself a master of diplomacy and initiated a friendship with Owen. It’s said the two exchanged letters and were good friends until Owen's death in 348, when Prince Martell and his children came to pay their respects.

Between 334 and 336, the Second Targaryen Invasion took place. It was the Year of the False Spring. Battles took place in Ashford and Bitterbridge. Owen and his brother Liam Tyrell the Strong of the Iron Order worked directly with King Selwyn Baratheon, specifically in the Second Battle of Bitterbridge to ensure a decisive win, in which Daario Naharis was later slain by the king in single combat.

## Relationships

Owen is remembered as a just and fair ruler who loved his people. He married his children to his vassals and put his vassals first. Some questioned his friendship with the Martells, but it resulted in improved relations, trade, and lasting peace with their southern neighbors. He had a deep dislike (presumably mutual) for the Lannisters.
House Oakheart

**House Oakheart of Old Oak** is an old and powerful family from Old Oak in the Reach. They are among the noble houses from the Reach that can trace their descent from Garth Greenhand. As part of the longstanding rivalry between the Reach and Dorne, Oakhearts have fought Dornishmen extensively.

Their arms are three green oak leaves on gold. Their banner is thus referred to as the Three Leaves.  According to semi-canon sources their motto is "Our Roots Go Deep".

The current Lady of Old Oak is Lynesse Oakheart.

## History

The Oakhearts claim descent from John the Oak, a legendary son of Garth Greenhand. The petty kings of Old Oak joined the Kingdom of the Reach, the realm of King Garth III Gardener, through a pact of friendship and mutual defense.

During the War of Conquest, Lord Oakheart led King Mern IX Gardener's left at the Field of Fire. When Prince Nymor Martell sent his daughter Deria as an envoy in 13 AC, King Aegon I Targaryen rejected Lord Oakheart's suggestion to send her to the meanest brothels of King's Landing.

When Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen toured the south in 112 AC, the son of Lord Oakheart courted her.

Lord Edgerran Oakheart was known for fighting Dornishmen. Alester Oakheart and Ser Olyvar the Green Oak died at the side of Daeron I Targaryen in the Prince's Pass.

Ser Eustace Osgrey complained that House Oakheart tried to keep one foot in each camp during the First Blackfyre Rebellion.

Ser Arys Oakheart was named to Robert Baratheon's Kingsguard in 290 AC.

## Recent Events

King Axel Baratheon took Lyra Oakheart as his first wife in 368 AC.

Lord Edric Oakheart and his brother Damion fought in the Battle of Red Lake, the former killed by Lannister soldiers and the latter wounding his leg severely.

House Darry

**House Darry of Darry** is a noble house from Castle Darry in the riverlands. Historically it had been one of the more prominent and powerful houses of the Trident, until the fall of the Targaryens in Robert's Rebellion. Their blazon is a black plowman on brown; the central building where the Darrys have their apartments is called the Plowman's Keep.

The current family members are descended from Lyman Darry.

## History

### First Men and Andals

House Darry traces their rule to the days when the Andals cast down the First Men. During the Andal invasion, three sons of Lord Darry held back the Andals of Vorian Vypren at the Widow's Ford before being slain.

Lord Darry died fighting in King Arlan III Durrandon's campaign, which included the Battle of Six Kings.

### Targaryen Era

During the Dance of the Dragons, Prince Aemond Targaryen had his dragon, Vhagar, burn Castle Darry and the surrounding fields. Lady Darry and her younger children survived below the keep, but Lord Darry and his heir were killed on the battlements. It is said that Lord Borros Baratheon slew another Lord Darry during the Battle of the Kingsroad.

The Darrys were Targaryen loyalists, supporting King Daeron II Targaryen over the Daemon I Blackfyre in the First Blackfyre Rebellion. Lord Darry destroyed the black dragon sign of the Clanking Dragon, as he saw in it the sigil of House Blackfyre. Ser Duncan the Tall identified the arms of House Darry among the gathered heraldry of the tourney at Ashford Meadow.

The Demon of Darry became Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. The song of Lord Deremond at the Bloody Meadow may be about a Lord of Darry.

Blind Norbert Vance squired together with Brynden Tully for the Lord Darry of their time. During the reign of King Aerys II Targaryen, Ser Willem Darry was master-at-arms of the Red Keep. When Prince Rhaegar Targaryen decided that he wanted to be a warrior, he asked Willem to provide him sword and armor. Ser Jonothor Darry was a member of Aerys II's Kingsguard.

### Robert's Rebellion

During Robert's Rebellion, the Darrys defended King Aerys against Lord Robert Baratheon and their liege lord, Hoster Tully, until the bitter end. After the Battle of the Bells, Ser Jonothor Darry and SerBarristan Selmy were sent to Stoney Sept to rally the remnants of Lord Jon Connington's defeated army to prepare them for the Trident.

The current lord, Ser Raymun Darry, lost his three older brothers at the Battle of the Trident, Willem Darry and four loyal men smuggled Aerys's surviving children, Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen, to Braavos before Stannis Baratheon's assault on Dragonstone. The defeat of the Targaryens cost the Darrys half of their lands, most of their wealth, and almost all their power.

## Biography

### Early Years

The early years in Red Lake were very peaceful for her, she had everything a girl could want. She was the pride of her fathers life. Melicent learned how to ride at a very young age, because her father loved bringing her along with him. Thaddeus has always been a loving father and devoted protector to Melicent and all of his children. Melicent latched on to her father more so when she was young, for whatever reason she gravitated towards horses and adventure quicker than her mother would have liked.

At the age of eight, she attended her first tournament. It was held a Longtable in the Reach. She was enamored with the Knights, the horses, the splendor. It only proved to drive her passion for riding, especially at such an impressionable age. Her father competed in the tournament, in the Archery contest. At the time however it wasn't exactly the most intriguing competition to Melicent. Not when the joust was held with such pageantry.

She met a young Squire by the name of Osmund Mandrake who would eventually become Ser Osmund Mandrake. Her father kept in contact with the Mandrake family about a potential marriage between their houses. Melicent was excited with the idea of marrying her gallant knight, even if he wasn't the most handsome man she'd ever seen.
