The Cinnamon Straits lie between Great Moraq and Sothoryos and provide an alternate route into the Jade Sea. However, the Straits of Qarth are preferred because it is much faster to sail through them to reach the rich trading nation of Yi Ti, which lies just to the east of the straits.

The city of Qarth is the largest city on the straits and gives them their name. One of the largest and richest cities in the known world, Qarth serves as a crossroads between east and west, with immense amounts of trade taking place there.

The city of Qarkash - possibly a vassal town of Qarth - is located near the western mouth of the straits, whilst the city of Asabhad is located near the eastern mouth. The island of Qal is located in the middle of the strait.

Smoking Sea

The **Smoking Sea** is the body of water which separated the shattered islands of Valyria from the rest of the Valyrian Peninsula. The Smoking Sea was formed during the Doom of Valyria by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It is ill-omened and very few sailors would brave the Smoking Sea or sailing within sight of the Valyrian shore.

## History

Four hundred years prior to the War of the Five Kings, the nation of Valyria was destroyed by a titanic volcanic cataclysm. Valyria was formerly a single peninsular, extending south into the Summer Sea. During the Doom the volcanic chain known as the Fourteen Fires erupted. The Valyrian Peninsula shattered, with the southern part becoming a cluster of islands. The sea that replaced the landmass became known as the Smoking Sea.

Several decades after the Doom, during the period known as the Century of Blood, Volantis sent a fleet to reclaim Valyria. It was lost on the Smoking Sea.

More recently, Euron Greyjoy has claimed that he successfully navigated the Smoking Sea to land on the island of Valyria look the former capital city of the empire.

## Geography

The Smoking Sea divides the islands of Valyria from the mainland. It consists of one major channel extending from the Summer Sea to the Gulf of Grief and many smaller ones extending south, around the several major islands. The Smoking Sea is so-named because it frequently smokes, bubbles and boils. The sea sometimes gives off poisonous fumes into the air, fumes which can kill a man within moments. Steam frequently drifts across the surface of the water, leading to the claims that ghosts and demons haunt the sea.

He is intellectually and physically stunted, and is not even weaned from his mother's breast.

Upon the death of Robert's mother, Petyr Baelish assumed the position of Lord Protector of the Vale, and claimed the rule of the Vale and the guardianship of Lord Robert through his brief marriage to Lady Lysa. Several of the more prominent nobles of the Vale signed a declaration to oust Petyr from the Eyrie and assume the rearing and training of Robert Arryn, calling themselves the 'Lords Declarant.' Robert has become even more emotional and unstable after his mother's death, and has become highly attached to his cousin, Sansa Stark, in her guise of Alayne Stone, who has taken on a surrogate maternal role with regards to him.

Tytos Lannister

**Tytos Lannister** was head of House Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, and Warden of the West in the middle of the third century after Aegon's Landing. The third son of Lord Gerold Lannister, he married Lady Jeyne Marbrand.

## Character and Appearance

Tytos was a nice man, slow to anger, quick to forgive. He was too trusting, and too generous. He was no warrior, and was never knighted. A plump boy, he grew to be a fat man. People would insult him, but Tytos only said ‘words are wind’.

## History

He was the father of Tywin and Kevan Lannister, as well as two other sons, Tygett and Gerion Lannister and a daughter, Genna Lannister, who was married off to Emmon of House Frey.

He was a weak ruler who was constantly taken advantage of by his bannermen and members of his own court. As he was born the third son, he wasn't raised to be a ruler like his older brothers Tybald and Tion were, which means that Tytos was always eager to please others. Even King Aegon V was upset with his way of ruling. Tytos had few supporters, one of which was Denys Marbrand, Jeyne’s father, the other was his younger brother Jason, who was 9 years younger than he was. People would borrow from Tytos, knowing that they didn’t have to pay it back. Tytos was constantly pardoning people. He sent ravens to Quellon Greyjoy demanding that the Greyjoys stop their raids.

One autumn, Tytos came between a lioness and her prey. The lioness tore into Tytos' horse and was about to attack Tytos as well, when the kennelmaster of Casterly Rock came to his rescue with his dogs, losing his leg and three dogs in the process. Out of gratitude, Tytos gave the kennelmaster lands and a towerhouse and took his son as a squire, thereby creating House Clegane.

By 254 AC, Lords knew that Tytos was not feared. Ironborn reavers and pirates all the way from the Stepstones raided the coastlines.

He gave in marriage his only daughter, Genna Lannister, to Lord Walder's second son; Emmon Frey, despite many, including a 10-year-old Tywin, believing it was an unequal match, simply because Lord Walder asked him nicely. Lady Ellyn Reyne-Tarbeck laughed at the prospect, while her brother Lord Roger Reyne, the Red Lion of Castamere, stormed out furious from the hall.

Thrice Aegon V sent forces to restore order to the Westerlands, but once they left, things would always return to their previous state. Then Summerhall happened, and Jaehaerys II ascended. Jaehaerys II lacked his father’s strength, and was busy with the War of the Ninepenny Kings, so he did not involve himself.

In his last few years, Tytos became fat and took a mistress, a common born woman and daughter of a candlemaker. The woman helped herself to Tytos' deceased wife's jewels and clothes. She also began ordering about the household knights, dismissed servants and sat in attendance when Tytos was absent. In 267 AC, Lord Tytos died of a heart attack while climbing stairs to see her.

The **Stepstones** are a series of islands running from the Broken Arm of Dorne to the Disputed Lands of Essos, effectively separating the Narrow Sea from the Summer Sea. There are a number of large islands and several smaller ones, along with many hazardous reefs and small rocks in the area.

## History

According to legend, the Broken Arm used to be a land-bridge linking Westeros to Essos, and across which the First Men migrated. The Children of the Forest are reported to have destroyed the Arm with magic to prevent the First Men's movements, but by the time this had happened, the humans' numbers had become too great. A further attempt to shatter the Westerosi continent in two by destroying the narrowest point of land at the Neck failed, merely resulting in the creation of vast marshlands and flooded regions.

In more recent times, the Stepstones have become one of the many battlegrounds between the Free Cities of Lys and Myr, who war over them and the nearby Disputed Lands, sometimes involving Volantis as well. Roughly fifty years ago it was the site of the War of the Ninepenny Kings, when nine noble lords of disparate origin joined forces to help one another seize their objectives which they could not hope to achieve by themselves. Maelys Blackfyre, known as Maelys the Monstrous, planned to use the Stepstones as a base to invade Westeros and seize the Iron Throne in the name of his ancestor, Daemon. However, King Aegon V Targaryen learned of this threat and despatched a fleet and an army to stop Maelys' plans. The Westerosi armies were successful and Maelys was killed in battle by Ser Barristan Selmy.

The Stepstones are today a morass of petty independent kingdoms and pirate havens. Attempts by both the Seven Kingdoms and the Free Cities to conquer or subdue the islands have failed due to the difficulty of holding territory and keeping open supply lines through the pirate-infested waters.
Rickard Thorne

**Ser Rickard Thorne** was an anointed knight of House Thorne and a sworn member of the Kingsguard under Kings Viserys I Targaryen and Aegon II Targaryen. He died at the hands of a mob in Bitterbridge.

## History

As King's Landing fell to Rhaenyra, Lord Larys Strong ordered Rickard to accompany Prince Maelor Targaryen out of the castle. He successfully smuggled the boy out using a secret passage in Maegor's Holdfast. Rickard was tasked with escorting Maelor to Oldtown, seat of Aegon loyalists House Hightower. He failed to achieve this goal, however, as both him and the prince died at the hands of a mob in Bitterbridge, with the mob anxious to gain possession of the valuable prince.
Roose Bolton

Lord **Roose Bolton** is the Lord Paramount and Warden of the North, formerly a bannerman of House Stark. He is known for being ruthless and cruel, as well as ominously quiet and powerful. He is known as the leech lord because he regularly covers himself in leeches to keep himself healthy. He has a bastard son, Ramsay, who is even more infamous for cruelty and sadism than Roose himself. He suspects that Ramsay had poisoned his older, trueborn son, in order to secure Dreadfort for himself.

## Appearance and Character

Roose Bolton is a man of average height with a soft and hairless body, a plain face and short fingers. His eyes are pale and frightening, paler even than his son Ramsay's. In combat, he wears dark mail and a pink fur cloak.

He is a cunning, mysterious and intimidating man, almost as authoritative as Tywin Lannister himself. Even his allies are terrified of him, and find him hard to trust. Loyal to himself and his house's success, Roose is pitiless and completely implacable, rarely sharing information with other people if he can avoid it and if he can be put at risk by it. Roose is a keen strategist in his own right, one of the orchestrators of the betrayal of House Stark and the Red Wedding, and beforehand one of Robb Stark's most dangerous and noteworthy lieutenants.

Many in Westeros who know of him think Roose to be a strange man. He rarely, if ever raises his voice, forcing everyone else to focus completely on what he has to say. He has a tendency towards leeching, thinking that it leads to a long life and disposes of 'bad blood'. More notably, Roose isn't as partial to alcohol as other lords, sipping it if he is served and preferring hippocras. Roose is apparently far crueller than he looks, capable of more savagery than his son, and Theon Greyjoy believes him to be more dangerous than all the Freys combined.

Randyll Tarly

Lord **Randyll Tarly** is the Lord of Horn Hill, and the head of House Tarly.

## Personality

Randyll is a renowned and almost legendary commander of soldiers and armies, but that is his one and only redeeming quality. He is unspeakably cruel to his eldest son Sam, and has been his entire life, so much that he actually confessed that nothing would please him more than hunting Sam down if the latter didn't take the black and renounce his claim to Horn Hill. A pitiless and utterly warlike man in the best of times, Randyll easily resorts to violent and sadistic punishments that (strangely) seem to match the crime. He is considered both dangerous and invaluable because of his ruthlessness. Randyll is also an especially proud man, hence his devotion to raising Dickon Tarly to become the prospective lord of Horn Hill.

## Family

He is married to Melissa Florent, who bore him two sons, Samwell and Dickon. He was disappointed in Samwell not being manly or brave enough, so he threatened him into joining the Night's Watch.

## History

During Robert's Rebellion he defeated Robert I Baratheon at Ashford. He is considered one of the best soldiers in Westeros.

## In the Books

After King Robert's death, he joined his liege lord, Mace Tyrell, in supporting Renly Baratheon. In the early stages of the War of the Five Kings, he advised Brienne of Tarth that the men had placed bets on her virginity, as well as advising her that women have no place on the battlefield. He also fought with House Lannister at Blackwater against Stannis Baratheon.

He protected the city of Duskendale, capturing Harrion Karstark and Robett Glover and killing Helman Tallhart. He later took the town of Maidenpool.

He marched from Maidenpool to King's Landing after hearing that Margaery Tyrell had been imprisoned on the command of Cersei Lannister. From there, he was named as a good candidate for Hand of the King, but Mace Tyrell took the position instead.

He became the Master of Laws in King's Landing, being given the title by Kevan Lannister as a way of repairing the Lannister-Tyrell alliance.

Rickard Stark

**Rickard Stark** was the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North during much of the reign of the Mad King Aerys Targaryen. He was the only son of Lord Edwyle Stark and his wife Marna Locke. He married his cousin Lyarra Stark, the daughter of Rodrik Stark (the Wandering Wolf) and his wife Arya Flint.

He had three sons, Brandon, Eddard, and Benjen, as well as a daughter, Lyanna.

When Lyanna was kidnapped by Crown Prince Rhaegar, Brandon, who was on his way to Riverrun to marry Catelyn Tully, went to King's Landing to declare that Rhaegar must be captured and tried. King Aerys interpreted this as treason, and Lord Rickard was summoned to court to re-swear his oaths of loyalty. Once there, he and his son were taken into custody, and Brandon was forced to watch as Aerys ordered Rickard to be roasted alive inside his own armor.

Lord Rickard was succeeded by his middle son, Eddard, who avenged his father by supporting Robert Baratheon's rebellion and bringing about the downfall of House Targaryen.
Rolly Duckfield

Ser **Rolly Duckfield**, often known as **Duck**, is an anointed knight in service to Young Griff.

## Appearance and Character

Rolly is brawny. He has a shaggy beard and a shock of orange hair.

## History

Rolly's father was the blacksmith at Bitterbridge, and was in service to Lord Caswell. Rolly's strength and skill with a blade earned him a place amongst the castle garrison, though he harboured dreams of knighthood. He resented seeing Lord Caswell's weakling son, Lorent, becoming a page, a squire, and then a knight. As Lorent was the heir to Bitterbridge he was treated with respect by all of the squires, who barely touched him in the training yard.

On his sixteenth nameday, Rolly's father made him a longsword as a present, but when Lorent saw it he claimed it as his own, saying Rolly was more fit to wield a hammer than a sword. After this, Rolly fetched a hammer and used it to break both of Lorent's arms, and many of his ribs, before fleeing across the Narrow Sea. He joined the Golden Company, first as an apprentice blacksmith, and then as a squire to Harry Strickland, the Captain-General of the Golden Company.

When Griff required somebody to train Young Griff in the art of the sword, Harry sent him Rolly. A year after this, Griff knighted Rolly who, lacking any second name, took the name Duckfield, as he was in a field with some ducks when he was knighted.
