## Appearance

Brynden is the very image of a princeling, tall, handsome and strapping, with a lean and lithe build. His face is almost sculptured, with high cheekbones, a narrow and straight nose and lips that would make a whore jealous. Framing his face is a waterfall of platinum hair falling down to his shoulders. His eyes are the deep purple of his house. He is known to be somewhat vain, with his preference for jewlery and ornate things. He is easy with a laugh and easier with a smile.

## Biography

Brynden was born as the third child and second son of Aegon Targaryen and Vaerona Otherys. A robust child, only a year apart from his elder siblings, his birth was much celebrated. The young Brynden was bigger and more robust than his brother, and took to swordplay as soon as he got his first sword at the age of three, learning to swing his sword before he learned to run. The boy seemed to show more of the martial spirit of his cousins rather than the bookish nature of his brother and father, posessing the sort of fierceness common to one of dragonsblood. Weaned on stories of all the great heroes and his own mighty ancestors, he knew he was destined to become a warrior, with nothing being better than the feeling of a sword in his hand. He idolised his cousins, especially Viserys, who all knew to be a great and mighty warrior, the Dragonknight come again.

Much to the excitement of the boy, he was made squire at the age of nine to his cousin, Viserys, and served under the young knight in the time of relative peace. Brynden followed around his knight like a lost puppy, worshiping the ground his cousin walked on, but showed potential on sparring grounds to be a proficent and deadly swordsman in his own right. But his training would be cut short by that terrible bloodletting known as the Duel of the Dragons, where, along with Viserys, he was held in reserve until the Trial of Seven. There the boy saw his knight perish by the hand of Aemond Blackfyre, and had to restrained so that he would not charge onto the field. The boy was inconsolable and swore a terrible oath of vengeance against the Blackfyre prince.

Afterwards, needing to complete his training as a knight, Brynden was squired to Viserys' father, the Lord Protector, Maekar Targaryen. The boy proved to be as able and dutiful as ever, though prone at times to moodswings and vanity. Nontheless, he grew up to be as deadly as any of his cousins, feeling at home with a sword in hand or in the company of knights and men-at-arms. On his six-teenth nameday the boy was knighted by Maekar Targaryen with the sword Dark Sister.

## Biography

Dagon Myre was born to Urron and Asha Myre in 243 AC. Ever since he could walk, Dagon was picking fights. Whenever it came down to blows, Dagon’s beserker nature would see him beating his foes bloody, often being pulled away after beating his unconscious opponents after they had gone down. With his violent reputation, Dagon was quickly thrust onto his father’s ship, *The Reckoning.*

Dagon’s ambidextrous hands and his ferocity in combat made him ideal to lead the boarding charges, cutting down men left and right with his twin axes. After several years, Dagon was give charge of his own ship, *The Final Curtain*. Marrying Alannys Netley at the age of 19, Dagon only stayed at their keep long enough to sire a single son, Ralf. Hungry for the blood and plunder, Dagon set sail for the East, intending to raid the trading vessels that crossed through the Summer Sea.

After nearly two years at sea, Dagon Myre returned with treasures upon treasures. *The Final Curtain* bore brilliant silver sails, and bronze tiger with jade eyes for a figurehead. The men walked off the ship carrying gold and silver, trailed by dozens of captured thralls and salt wives. By every metric, the reaving had been a success.

Dagon would undertake several more reavings over the years, though none quite as successful as the first. He would father two more sons, Aeron and Sawane, and a daughter, Esgred. Urron eventually passed in 270 AC, leaving Dagon as the Lord of Blackrock Keep. When the Ironborn launched their reaving of the Summer Isles, Dagon followed them, one of many lords who left their island homes in hope of women and treasures untold.

Alleras

## Biography

Backstory

Alleras was born to a fishmonger and a maid in 255 A.C. As a child, Alleras always dreamed of having wealth. His family unable to afford to feed him, Alleras struck out on his own at a young age. Becoming a petty thief, Alleras learned how to use daggers to cut purses and slit throats. Quickly discovered, Alleras fled on a ship full of fortune seekers, none of whom had qualms in how their gold was earned. His ambidextrous hands made him useful as a deckhand, able to grab onto the rigging with either hands and pull out knots with the other.

Several years later, Alleras parted ways with the pirates, intent to take up a more lucrative opportunity for banditry. There hadn't been a Vulture King in his lifetime; claiming the title would strike fear into those who traveled the mountain roads, and give him a safe hideout in which to store his riches. Taking up work as a caravan guard for several years as preparation, Alleras became an expert navigator of the mountainous terrain.

After learning the layout of the Red Mountains, all that was left for Alleras was to assemble his motley crew. Going back to his home town, unrecognizable from the little boy who left more then a decade ago. Recruiting fortune-seekers from the docks, Alleras didn't have long before authorities figured out what his game was. Asking around the poor streets he used to live as Alleras and his followers fled the city, the brigands in his company reached a total of sixty-five.

After gathering his band of rather unsavory fellows, Alleras ventured forth into a relatively hidden cave deep in the mountains to make his hideout. Soon, the money would begin to flow in, and he would be as rich as he always dreamed.
Aegon I Targaryen

with Visenya:
{Maegor Targaryen}

{Orys Baratheon} (bastard half-brother)

King **Aegon I Targaryen**, known as **Aegon the Conqueror** and **Aegon the Dragon**, was the founder and first king of the Targaryen dynasty when he conquered all of Westeros and united the realm (with the exception of Dorne and the lands beyond the Wall) with three great dragons, Balerion, Vhagar and Meraxes. He was married to both of his sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys. He was formally styled as **Aegon of House Targaryen, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm**.

### Background

Aegon I Targaryen was the first king of the Targaryen dynasty. He was a warlord and Lord of Dragonstone who, with his two sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys, three great dragons and a small army, invaded and unified six of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros in the War of Conquest. Only Dorne managed to successfully resist the Targaryens, using guerrilla tactics started under the command of Meria Martell (commonly known as "The Yellow Toad") that continued for a couple of centuries until Dorne voluntarily joined the Seven Kingdoms when Maron Martell agreed to marry a Targaryen princess, Daenerys Targaryen and Maron's sister, Myriah Martell, married King Daeron II Targaryen.

After the Conquest, Aegon founded the city of King's Landing, began construction on the Red Keep, and forged the Iron Throne from the swords of his defeated enemies, melted with dragonfire. His descendants ruled for a further three centuries.
Bhorash

Bhorash was once a outpost city of the Valyrian Freehold, placed northeast of the Black Cliffs that define the upper boundaries of Slaver's Bay, but south of the Painted Mountains.

## History

When the strength of the Valyrian Freehold was shattered by the Doom, the Ghiscari city of Meereen took the opportunity to sack the city, which they had always considered a threat to their dominance in the region.

Beyond occasional bands of bandits and other vagabonds fleeing justice, the ruined city has remained uninhabited ever since.

## Recent History

Recently, the ruined Bhorash was overtaken by a huge man named the Beast of Bhorash. His skill in battle was almost unmatched and the fear he struck into people and his false promises gained him a following of a fair-sized army. His reign was abruptly ended when the Black Fleet came to Bhorash and convinced his men to stand aside and instead join them.

The few still loyal to the Beast were slain and the Beast himself was placed to the cutlass by Ravos Hoare. His head decorated Ravo's ship and his body decorated the Whore's Fortune.

After taking the ruin, Admiral Hoare instructed Ravos to remain and build a dockyard, with the hopes that Bhorash would play a part in the Kingdom he aspired to build.

This drew the forces of House Umber and House Stark to Long Lake, where Raymun and Lord Willam Stark were killed in battle. The Night's Watch arrived too late to participate in the battle and were ordered by Artos Stark to dispose of the dead. This series of events led Sleepy Jack to earn his nickname.

Jack was later killed by Godric Blackwood as he rose up in rebellion.

House Banefort

**House Banefort of Banefort** is a noble house from the Banefort in the westerlands near the coast of the Ironman's Bay. House Banefort is one of the main families sworn to Casterly Rock.

## Ancient History

The Baneforts originated as petty First Men kings in the Age of Heroes, claiming descent from the Hooded Man. The last Hooded King was Morgon Banefort, whose thralls were defeated after twenty years of war by Loreon I Lannister, King of the Rock.

## Current Events

The past hundred years have been quiet for House Banefort who suffered from the incompetent hands of their two most recent lords and the Great Spring Sickness of 210 AC. The Great Spring Sickness hit the Banefort hard because of its isolation and proximity to the Iron Islands and the Riverlands where the disease had ravaged.

Lord Herrock Banefort, although only ten years old when the sickness hit, was tasked with rebuilding House Banefort when he inherited the house at only twenty years old. Sadly, Lord Herrock was more interested in women and booze than rebuilding a kingdom and the Banefort did not fully recover from the sickness until the end of his lordship. Herrock ruled from the years 220 AC to 260 AC, succeeding the Lordship to Lord Tybolt Banefort.

Durrian's Defiance seemed to be the turn of the tide for House Banefort. Tyvian Banefort, the brother of Lord Tybolt, and the Masters of Whisperers was murdered during the Sacking of Highgarden, and for his death, House Banefort was awarded handsomely. Morgon Banefort is sent to foster at Casterly Rock, as further reward for their loyalty during the sacking of the Reach.

In 279 AC, Morgon Banefort returns to the Banefort to take up the mantle of his inheritance in Lord Tybolt's old age. That same year, Morgon Banefort mysteriously perished during a hunting accident, and with no other male heir willing and able to be lord, Tybolt Banefort declares his eldest child, Bellena, as heir to the Banefort.

With the coronation and wedding of King Daemon III Blackyre, Lord Tybolt sent his daughters Bellena and Adrielle to King's Landing. Along the way, their retinue is attacked the bandits called "The Hooded Men." When the Banefort sisters arrived at King's Landing, they received letter that Tybolt had suddenly died of heart palpitations. Bellena Banefort becomes the first Lady of the Banefort.

## Economy

As the Banefort sits on the coast overlooking the Ironman's Bay, House Banefort is plentiful with salt, oysters, pearls, and silver.

## Current Household

Arbor Clam Chowder

Arbor Clam Chowder is a soup dish specific to the island of the Arbor in the Reach. Unlike many other clam chowder dishes from other areas of the world which use a cream-based broth, Arbor Clam Chowder has a red broth which is tomato-based, with onions, clams, sea salt, peppers, and various other ingredients being

noticeable, along with some ingredients being said to be "secret" which the people of the Arbor are known to keep closely to themselves.

The dish is known to have two unique properties - One of them being that unlike almost \*any\* other specific form of soup, the dish itself is known to stay good to eat for rather long amounts of time when chilled and stored properly in a barrel for overseas travel. Yet, despite the versatility of the dish against spoilage, due to the specific ingredients necessary to \*make\* the chowder it is not shipped in abundance, but rather shipped as a delicacy in limited supply.

Arbor Clam Chowder also has one other peculiar aspect - The soup makes an amazingly effective cure for hangovers from imbibing too much alcohol the night before. One bowl of Arbor Clam Chowder after a heavy night of drinking is well known to alleviate the symptoms of hangover as quickly as an hour after enjoying the dish. Thus, regardless of whether people prefer the taste, Arbor Clam Chowder is known to be a much sought-after dish due to it's reputation, limited supply, and unique properties.
Highgarden

**Highgarden** is a castle which serves as the seat of House Roxton, formerly House Tyrell and is the regional capital of the Reach, and the heart of chivalry in the Seven Kingdoms. It lies on the Mander and is where the Ocean Road meets the Roseroad, making it an important crossroads.

## History

### House Gardener

Highgarden is said to have been built by Garth the Gardener atop a hill overlooking the Mander. Highgarden was the center of the Reach proper, and the Kings of the Reach from House Gardener grew to acquire what has become the Reach.

During the Andal invasion of Westeros, King Mern II Gardener built a curtain wall about the castle. The Andals were ultimately welcomed into the Reach, however, and King Garth IX Gardener built the first sept at Highgarden, although he continued to worship in its godswood. House Tyrell became the hereditary stewards of the castle.

Highgarden was sacked by Dornishmen during the reign of King Garth X Gardener, and the Gardener's Oakenseat was destroyed. The castle was rebuilt by Garth's cousin, King Mern VI Gardener.

The peaceful Harmund II Hoare, King of the Iron Islands, once visited Highgarden and Oldtown.

### House Tyrell

Highgarden was the seat of House Gardener until Aegon the Conqueror defeated King Mern IX Gardener and his host on the Field of Fire, ending their line. When Aegon then marched his host to Highgarden, its steward, Harlen Tyrell, surrendered the castle. For this, Aegon granted him the castle and gave House Tyrell dominion over the Reach as the Lord Paramount of the Mander. However, other houses, such as the Florents, Rowans, and Oakhearts, also claim blood ties to the Gardeners and covet Highgarden.

During the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the Tyrells hosted the famed Tourney of the Field of Roses. The Tyrells were neutral during the Dance of the Dragons, so Ser Ulf the White wanted to be rewarded with Highgarden. He was poisoned after the Second Battle of Tumbleton, however.

## Recent Events

Sacked in 270 AC during Durran's Defiance by Ser Martyn Lannister.

In 281 AC, Highgarden was the site of a minor battle, ending the Tyrell line in both battle and being sent to the Wall, as Lord Addam Roxton was named Lord of Highgarden, former the House Roxton of Highgarden Branch.

The title is currently being contested by one of the Tyrells' last living members, Garth Tyrell.
Eyrie

The **Eyrie** is the principal stronghold of House Arryn. It is located in the Vale of Arryn near the east coast of Westeros. The Eyrie straddles the top of a peak in the Mountains of the Moon several thousand feet above the valley floor below. It is approached by a narrow causeway and road. Those who would approach the Eyrie must pass through three way-castles guarding the ascent - and then, must proceed in single file, making them very vulnerable to archers. For these reasons, the Eyrie is considered impregnable to any attack that does not involve dragons, and its defences have never been overcome. It is currently the seat of Lord Brus Arryn – the Warden of the East.

The High Hall of the Eyrie is the main audience chamber, where the Lord of the Vale greets visitors from a throne made of weirwood. A notable feature of the chamber is the *Moon Door*, a hatch built into the floor through which people can fall to the floor of the Vale far below. Being thrown through the Moon Door is the preferred method of execution at the Eyrie, and is a particular amusement for the intellectually stunted Robin Arryn.

Prisoners at the Eyrie are incarcerated in the *sky cells*, cells which are open on one side to the air. There is a very slight slope in the cells, and prisoners must be careful not to roll out of the cell in their sleep and plummet to their deaths.

The Eyrie was the ancestral seat of the First Men Mountain Kings until the Andal Invasion, where it was won by Ser Artys Arryn after the Battle of the Seven Stars. He ruled from the Eyrie as King of Mountain and Vale and it became the seat of House Arryn, whose head was also the Lord of the Eyrie. It proved impregnable by the hostile Hill tribes.
Gwayne Corbray

**Gwayne Corbray**was a Valeman that served in the Kingsguard of Aegon IV Targaryen and Daeron II Targaryen until his death in 196 AC.

He was named Lord Commander after the death of Aemon the Dragonknight.

At the Battle of Redgrass Fields, Lord Commander Corbray duelled Daemon I Blackfyre in a fierce clash of Valyrian Steel. He was slain by Blackfyre, ultimately leading to the defeat of the Royal forces.

Being in King's Landing has raised both girls hopes of finding eligible young lords or knights to marry, though their father will have to approve the match.
Brandon Mormont

## Bran Mormont

Brandon Mormont is the Lord of Bear Island. He was born in 261 AC to Cregan Mormont and Alyanne Mormont (Formerly Reed). He continued his training under his Uncle Rodrik, becoming the Druid of the Cult of the Bear.

## Biography

Brandon, or Bran, Mormont was born to Lyanna and Cregan Mormont in 261 AC. The youngest sibling of the bunch, and the final hope for House Mormont to be normal again. From a young age however, his parents found him to be as \*gullible\* as humanly possible. Not only this, but he had taken a shine to his Uncle Rodrik during his trips to his cabin in the woods during several moons of his childhood. At the tender age of 9 he was claimed by Rodrik, saying that he was marked by the One True God to serve under Rodrik. There had been conflicts between Rodrik and Cregan in the past, and he was convinced to alllw the youngest Mormont to train under his Uncle. Rodrik twisted the mind and body of the young man, training him in the \*mystic\* arts and \*alchemy.\* Several concoctions were taught to him, powders to make him strong, powders to make him fast, powders to make him sleep, and more. He learned and mastered the creation of all of these powders, trying to impress his Uncle enough to let him be brought into the fold. Over time, his Uncle let him in on secrets of old, secrets about the others that Bran had met over time in his training. His Uncle was the Priest of the Bear, a high ranking member of the Cult of the Bear. The Cult had been founded generations before, venerating both House Mormont and the bears that the Island was known for. In order for Bran to complete his training, he had to learn to \*tame the animals\* that the cult was known for.
Bran ventured into the forests, emboldened by the usage of the powders that he had learned to use in his training. There he captured and tamed a bear that he would later name Dance, though it was not easy. It caused much stress as he forced the relationship between himself and the bear. This contributed to the deformation of his body and his mind. At this point, he believes that he develops the ability to both warg and greensee, though neither of these are true abilities and are instead just the drugs talking.

Whilst in exile, King Maekar had vowed not to name a man to the Kingsguard until their name could be recorded in the White Book. When he finally retook King's Landing the King named two loyal knights to the order, Cortnay was one of them.

He was slain in the siege of King's Landing, fighting alongside his King.
Godric Blackwood

Godric Blackwood was the First Ranger of the Night's Watch, and founder of the Ravenwatch.

## History

The honour of the Night's Watch had been called into question with their late arrival at Long Lake, and there was undoubtedly dissent in the ranks. Many officers and knights in the Watch felt that they had been let down by Jack Musgood's poor leadership and moved for further action against the Wildlings. The First Ranger, Godric Blackwood, began to arrange more and more decisive rangings, becoming known for his discontent with Musgood's rule.

Godric established various watchpoints Beyond the Wall, small waystations where a ranging party could restock their supplies. His most prominent was Darkpine Hall, an abandoned Wildling settlement (the clan had all but been eradicated in the Battle of Long Lake). As Godric and Musgood argued, the First Ranger seemed to be spending more and more time at Darkpine Hall. Only Godric's inner circle of rangers were permitted to stop there, and within time it became clear what was occuring - Godric and his men were restoring the wooden fort for resettlement.

Eventually, Godric met with Musgood at Castle Black, and told him that he and his men planned to secede from the Night's Watch and live out their lives at Darkpine. Musgood did not take lightly to the news, drawing his sword in the Lord-Commander's Tower, declaring Blackwood and his men traitors. Blackwood was the better swordsman, it seemed, for he slew the Lord-Commander in the privacy of his own quarters. The First Ranger managed to slip away unmolested, as did his men, and 'Sleepy' Jack Musgood's body was not discovered until the dawn.

Godric fled to reunite with his rangers, and they fortified themselves back at Darkpine whilst Castle Black descended into madness. The men of the Night's Watch were now down nearly fifty rangers; all of whom had cast aside their vows and fled. Many of the Watch called for blood, though some now questioned their own vows. Lothar Bracken, Musgood's personal steward and confidant, assumed acting command of the Watch and was later voted Lord-Commander. His presence stabilised the Night's Watch, though they were soon shaken by the announcement that the Sealstone Tribe had joined with the Ravenwatch.

Godric Blackwood, in his time as a ranger, had fallen in love with Val Crowbones, the leader of her tribe. They barely spoke about the circumstances of their meeting, but their two companies joined. It was an uneasy time for the settlers, though within months many of the defectors had taken wives from Val's people. They grew to trust each other, forming an uncomfortable merger of the conflicting cultures. The Ravenwatch grew over the years due to both population growth but also defections from the Night's Watch. Builders, stewards, men of use to them. Even Septon Nolan of the Shadow Tower Sept joined their number.
Donelos Forin

## Biography

Donelos Forin was born to a mother, Leraria, in 254 AC. His father was allegedly a sellsword from Pentos, but he left long before the boy was born. Donelo's mother supported them through various jobs, particularly as a seamstress. As he grew into a young man, Donelos began taking jobs to help his mother.

He found himself at the docks quite often. Work there was plentiful, and he eventually caught the attention of a merchant captain, known as Vyran of Lorath. The captain needed an extra hand, so the boy was hired out for his first voyage. It was a dream come true, Denelos had heard stories brought back by sailors. The beauty of Yi-Ti, the mystics of Asshai, the nimble ships of the Summer Isles. These tales of adventure burrowed deep into his mind.

The voyage was uneventful, and Donelos returned with a (relatively) hefty sum to show for it. He quickly hired aboard another ship, this one bound for Westeros. This one too, was easygoing. The sailing life for Denelos was pleasant for the next two years. Then the worst came to pass, when the ship was on a voyage in Westeros. As the ship began to make it around Dorne, headed for Oldtown, it was attacked by Ironborn. They slaughtered most everyone on the ship. Donelos lost his left arm to a screaming Ironborn with an oversized axe. As he lay there, bleeding, he saw a fellow crewman being harried by an Ironborn. Gripping a small knife in his left hand, he barely manages to save his fellow crewmember. This crewman, named Cordin Chalk, and Denelos managed to slip away as the ship was sunk by the Islanders.

They made their way to the mainland by way of a makeshift raft. From there was a long walk to civilization. To this day, Donelos has no recollection of the journey. From that point on, Cordin and Denelos were near inseperable. Cordin's martial adeptness proved helpful for Denelos's future dealings, serving as a capable problem solver.

Denelos slowly worked his way to being the captain of his own ship. It wasn't the greatest vessel, but it was nimble enough to allow Denelos and his crew to make semi-decent coin. They found a wonderful niche in the conflict ridden landscape of Westeros. Smugglers ALWAYS have work available.

## Arrival at Karhold

The first of Lord Harrion's bastards, it was seen as a great scandal when Cayn was acknowledged, and more so when he was invited to live his life in Karhold alongside his father. A young, but strong, boy, Cayn was allowed to train in the castle, to dine in the Great Hall (although not with the main family), and to learn from the family's maester.

## Family Information

### Children

Aegon BlackfyreAemond Blackfyre

Daemon II Blackfyre

Haegon Blackfyre

Aenys Blackfyre

Calla Blackfyre

**Daemon I Blackfyre**, born **Daemon Waters**, was the bastard son, and soon after the legitimized bastard son, of Princess Daena Targaryen and King Aegon IV Targaryen, the first of the Blackfyre kings, and the thirteenth Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

## Appearance

Daemon was tall and powerful, with broad shoulders, muscular arms, and a flat stomach. Targaryen on both sides, Daemon had all the hallmarks of his house. He had strong Targaryen features, with deep purple eyes and silver-gold hair which he wore long, flowing down to his shoulders in a silvery-gold mane. He always went clean-shaven, with neither beard nor mustache. Almost inhumanly beautiful, Daemon looked every inch the warrior, and many thought that he strongly resembled portraits of Aegon the Conqueror.

His armor was ornate and costly, all black and red plate, and his warhelm was distinctive, with batlike steel "dragon wings" on the sides.

Daemon matured into a man of considerable charm and strength, mastering all weapons of the battlefield, but with the sword Blackfyre in hand he was said to fight like the Warrior himself. He won friends easily and women were drawn to him.

## History

Daemon swayed half the kingdom to support his claim to the Iron Throne against King Daeron II Targaryen in a war now coined the Blackfyre Rebellion. Daemon was the founder of House Blackfyre, and bore the arms of House Targaryen with the colors reversed: a black three-headed dragon on a red field. Thus he became known as **the Black Dragon**.

Daemon was an immensely popular ruler during his reign, ruling justly and fairly, and famed for bringing the Greyjoys to heel during the conflict known as Quelling the Kraken.

## Death

He died during the Great Spring Sickness from the plague, and succeeded by his son, Daemon II Blackfyre.

During one particularly arduous Ranging, Ser Byron fell afoul of a particularly large bramble bush. This left his face pockmarked and scabby for the rest of his days, and earned him the nicknames *The Brambleknight* and *Bramblebane -* though few would call him that to his face.

He passed away suddenly from a fever in 248 AC, only a moon after the arrival of Brynden 'Bloodraven' Targaryen.
Thank You for the Music

**Thank You for the Music** is one of the most widely known ABBA songs, released in 1978. It has lead vocals by Agnetha Faltskog, with Anni-Frid Lyngstad joining in the chorus.

## Lyrics

I'm nothing special.

In fact... I'm a bit of a bore.

If I tell a joke... you've probably heard it before.

But I have a talent - a wonderful thing.

'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing!

I'm so grateful and proud...

All I want... is to sing it out loud.

*Chorus:*

So I say...

Thank you for the music,

The songs we're singing!

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing.

Who could live without it?

I ask in all honesty:

What would life be?

Without a song or a dance, what are we?

So I say

Thank you for the music,

For giving it to me!

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk.

Mm, she says I began... to sing long before I could talk!

And I've often wondered:

How did it all start?

Who found out that nothing could capture a heart

Like a melody can?

Well, whoever it was... I'm a fan!

*Chorus*

I've been so lucky,

I am the girl with golden hair.

I wanna sing it out to everybody:

What a joy!

What a life!

What a chance!

*Chorus*
Balarr

Balarr is the major trading port on the Stepstones isle of Pryr, named for and governed by the Balarr Family.

## Layout

### The Martial Quarter

The home port of the Balarr military fleet, the Martial Quarter of the Harbour is guarded by the Island Watch, an order of soldiers dedicated to the safety of the city and its residents, not dissimilar to the City Watch of King's Landing, Oldtown or Lannisport. The Martial Quarter is off-limits to civilians, and guarded by a six-foot wall of grey-slate topped with metal spikes. Typically only ships of the Balarr military fleet may use the quays and wharves to call port, but when expecting noble guests, the family will allow usage of the Quarter to their visitors.

Also found within the Martial Quarter are the shipyards of the Balarr Family Mercantile Company, where their cogs and warships with striped blue hulls are built and made ready for sailing the seas.

### The Mercantile Quarter

Open to trade ships, travellers and residents of the island alike, the Mercantile Quarter is inherently busier and noisier than its neighbour, and populated regardless of the time of day. Fishermen and sailors fix their nets and sails upon the limestone bricks at the Quayside, and a wide range of alehouses, taverns and brothels offer goods and services to those with the coin. Whilst the area is still patrolled by the Island Watch, the area is a popular haunt of cutpurses and pickpockets hoping to prey on those of thoughtless mind and heavy pocket.

Particular businesses of note are the taverns the Fallen Storm and the Frigate Brewery, which share a petty rivalry, and the pillowhouse the Silver Laces.

### The Greywater

The Greywater river has its source in the hills of Pryr to the south, near the mining outpost of Silverpit, and meanders north until it reaches the Narrow Sea, its estuary splitting the two into uneven halves, with most of the town on the southeastern bank. Insignificant compared to the great Essosi rivers like the Rhoyne, the river spans only a few hundred metres at its widest and is relatively shallow, restricting access of larger ships much further than the boundaries of the town itself.
