## History

House Willum has one of the most impressive origins in Westeros, at least according to claims. The founder of the house was Ser Jon Willum, who claimed to have been one of the few to travel to Sothroryos, where he slew a wyvern at the Green Hell, using its bones to make dragon-bone bow. While the veracity of the story is questioned, the house indeed possesses the famed bow.

Like most of the Reach Houses the Manderly's eventually converted to the Faith of the Seven when the Andals were welcomed by House Gardener.

During the reign of Garth X Gardener, the Greybeard, House Manderly contested with House Peake for whoever of their wives succeeded their father. The conflict was finished when Osmund Tyrell crowned Mern VI Gardener as king, instead of any of their wives.

During the reign of King Perceon III Gardener, House Manderly was exiled from the Reach by Lorimar Peake under orders from the king, who, fearing the Manderly's growing power and influence, and thanks to forged documents by House Raylan, were left sore, wandering and friendless.

A minor part of the family settled at Merman's Rest in the Stepstones, instead of following the rest of the House northwards.

Eventually House Manderly was welcomed by House Stark to the North, who granted them the Wolf's Den and the duty of protecting the White Knife in exchange for their fealty. The Manderly's accepted and built the city of White Harbor using their remaining wealth, and the city flourished and became the only city in the North. Despite their exile, they still claim membership to the chivalric Order of the Green Hand.
