He clashes with Leo Tyrell over her, and even contemplates killing him, but decides against it, as his father is the Commander of the City Watch of Oldtown, and his cousin is Mace Tyrell.

He is lured away shortly afterwards by the Alchemist, who gives him the gold dragon he desires. Pate dies shortly after, collapsing to the cobbles below. He is told that he will never understand what is happening. His last thought is of Rosey.
Sack of King's Landing

The **Sack of King's Landing** came during the end of Robert's Rebellion, also known as the War of the Usurper, in which Robert Baratheon, Eddard Stark, and Jon Arryn led their armies against the Targaryens on the Iron Throne.

House Lannister under Tywin Lannister had delayed declaring for one side or the other, but when it became obvious that the rebellion was going to prevail, he marched his forces to King's Landing on the pretense of coming to aid Aerys. Grand Maester Pycelle (long secretly loyal to Tywin Lannister) advised Aerys to open the gates, Varys advised not to. Aerys listened to Pycelle, the Lannisters began plundering, raping, and destroying all in their path. During this time, the Mad King Aerys was killed by the Kingsguard member Jaime Lannister. He killed Aerys to prevent him from exploding wildfire throughout the city (Aerys had arranged that if the city fell, he would reduce it to ashes). Ser Jaime then waited on the Iron Throne to see who would claim it. During the sack, Lannister men broke into Maegor's Holdfast and murdered Rhaenys Targaryen, daughter of Rhaegar and Elia of Dorne. Gregor Clegane killed Aegon Targaryen, Elia's son, and then raped Elia before he killed her as well. Eventually, Eddard Stark arrived with his men to claim the throne for Robert Baratheon the Usurper, and the war ended.

Eddard Stark and Jon Arryn decided to stand aside and let Robert be king. Robert had the best claim, as he had Targaryen blood from both his grandmother and the whole Baratheon line started with a Targaryen bastard line. Jon Arryn was older and Eddard was quiet and just wanted to return to the North. Robert was charismatic and Jon Arryn believed he would serve best as Hand of the King.

Lord Tytos Lannister once sent Lord Denys Marbrand to seize the Tarbecks, including Ellyn, after a territorial disagreement. Roger rushed to his sister's aid and killed the men. Reynard convinced Tytos that Roger thought he was attacking outlaws. Tytos pardoned the Reynes and the Tarbecks.

After the War of the Ninepenny Kings, there was a time of unrest between Houses Reyne and Lannister, with Ser Tywin Lannister keen to bring order to the West. Reynard oversaw the safe exchange of Lannister and Tarbeck hostages.

Reynard fought for his brother during the Reyne-Tarbeck Rebellion, and was present when the Reyne forces attacked Tywin in the field. They were defeated, and Reynard assumed command, as his brother suffered a crossbow wound that left him feverish and unfit to lead. Reynard then led the surviving Reynes into the mines of Castamere.

Reportedly, he sent a message of peace to Tywin, provided that Tywin's brothers be given to the Reynes as hostages. Tywin ignored the message, and instead had the entrances to the mines closed off and water diverted in. Reynard Reyne will have drowned with the rest of his family and men.

It is on Old Wyk where the First Men discovered the Seastone Chair, which became the throne of all subsequent Kings of the Iron Islands. The Grey King's Hall became the location where all Kingsmoots would be held, beginning with the crowning of Urras Greyiron by Galon Whitestaff. His son, Erich I Greyiron, then tried to claim the title without a kingsmoot, but was opposed and renounced his claim, with the Kingsmoot then electing Old Wyk's Rock King, Regnar Drumm.

Ragged Ralf was a legendary Ironborn warrior, who supposedly came from the island of Old Wyk.

King Harrag Hoare included longships from Old Wyk when he declared his invasion of the North on King Theon Stark.

The selection of High Kings through the Kingsmoots ended when Urron Greyiron gathered all his rivals on Old Wyk and had them slaughtered amongst Nagga's ribs. The rock and salt kings of Old Wyk were then reduced to be lords sworn to hereditary kings.

When a sept was built on Old Wyk, during the reign of King Horgan Hoare, it was burned to the ground by followers of the Drowned God. The septon was killed and the congregation drowned. In response, Horgan had the Drowned Men massacred.

After the end of the War of Conquest, the Priest-King Lodos of Old Wyk briefly opposed King Aegon I Targaryen.

Soon after her birth Queen Visenya Targaryen proposed marrying Rhaena to her uncle, Prince Maegor, but the High Septon mounted a vigorous protest. Maegor was married to the niece of the High Septon instead, Lady Ceryse Hightower.

In 41 AC King Aenys I Targaryen arranged the marriage of Rhaena to her brother, Prince Aegon, which caused an uprising of the Faith.The marriage to her brother lasted for only three years, during which she gave birth to twin daughters: Princess Aerea and Princess Rhalla.

When Rhaena's father King Aenys I died, Rhaena and her husband were being besieged at Crakehall by members of the Faith. Instead of Aegon becoming king, Dowager Queen Visenya brought Prince Maegor back from Essos, and made sure he was crowned king.

Prince Aegon and Princess Rhaena sought refuge from King Maegor the Cruel. At one point, Lord Lyman Lannister protected the prince and princess under his roof, extending guest right and refusing all the king’s demands to turn them over. Yet Lord Lyman did not pledge his swords to Aegon and Rhaena.

When Prince Aegon died in 43 AC, Rhaena became a widow. Rhaena took refuge on Fair Isle, under the protection of Lord Farman, who hid her and her daughters. It was Tyanna, one of Maegor's queens, who found them. In 47 AC, Rhaena was forced to wed Maegor. As she was one of the three women who was wed to Maegor under force, who had been proven to be fertile, Rhaena would become known as one of the "Black Brides".

When Rhaena learned that her youngest brother, Prince Jaehaerys, was claiming the throne for himself, she fled King's Landing on her dragon Dreamfyre, stealing Blackfyre away as her king and husband slept to join Jaehaerys' cause.

Legends say that his future wife Teora Hunter reminded him of how his ancestor, Artys, won the Battle of Seven Stars by attacking from high ground. This saw Roland begin the development of the Eyrie atop the Giant's Lance. He used marble sourced from Tarth over that from the Vale.

Qartheen language

It is known that the Qartheen have their own language because when Daenerys Targaryen leaves the city's walls, she is glad "to hear men speaking Valyrian once more, and even the common tongue."

* Blind Sybassion
* Sallor the Bald

R'hllor

**R'hllor** is the lord of light and god of fire. He is the antithesis of the god whose name should not be spoken, the Great Other, who commands ice and death.

Two noted followers of R'hllor are Melisandre and Thoros of Myr, who take two very different approaches to their worship. Melisandre uses her power to see the future in fire and birth shadow children who can kill humans; Renly Baratheon fell victim to her. Thoros uses the power of R'hllor to see into the flames and continually revive Beric Dondarrion from death. The prayers of R'hllor state that "the night is dark and full of terrors."

The name R'hllor was coined up by GRRM in his earliest finished fantasy short story. Funny enough, R'hllor was burned to death in the end of the story.

Ronnel Arryn (king)

## Ronnel Arryn

Lord **Ronnel Arryn** was the last King of Mountain and Vale, reigning up until the War of Conquest by Aegon I Targaryen. He was only a boy at the time, so the Vale was governed by his mother, Queen Regent Sharra Arryn.

## History

### The War of Conquest

After Aegon made his intentions for invasion of Westeros clear, Sharra sent a portrait of herself to him, and offered her hand in marriage, provided that Aegon make Ronnel his heir. This offer was refused.

The Arryns scored a victory against Aegon, deafeating the Targaryen force in the seas near Gulltown, although the Arryn fleet was destroyed by Visenya Targaryen. The Sistermen then launched a revolt against the rule of House Arryn.

The army of the Vale was amassed at the Bloody Gate as the rest of the Kingdoms fell to Aegon. Visenya, however, flew Vhagar, her dragon, straight to the Eyrie. When Sharra returned, she found Ronnel seated on Visenya's lap, asking for a ride on the dragon. She subsequently bent the knee, and the Arryns were named the Defenders of the Vale and Wardens of the East.

### Targaryen Era

Ronnel became nicknamed The King Who Flew, as a reference to his ride on the back of Vhagar, and served as Defender of the Vale throughout the rule of Aegon I. He was wed to a daughter of Lord Torrhen Stark, in a marriage arranged by Queen Rhaenys Targaryen. Upon the ascension of Aenys I Targaryen, however, rebellions broke out across Westeros, including in the Vale, where Ronnel's brother, Jonos Arryn, rose up and imprisoned Ronnel.

House Royce of Runestone stayed loyal to Ronnel, and gathered a force with the intention of sweeping away Jonos. lord Allard Royce subsequently had Jonos penned in, inside the Eyrie. Jonos had Ronnel executed by having him thrown through the Moon Door, earning him the title of kinslayer, and adding a dark twist on Ronnel's nickname. Jonos was subsequently betrayed by his men and shared Ronnel's fate after the arrival of Prince Maegor Targaryen. House Arryn carried on through Ronnel's cousin, Hubert Arryn.
Osha

**Osha** is a wildling who was traveling in a group led by Stiv, a Night Watch deserter. She later becomes a servant of House Stark after being captured. She is a tall woman with shaggy dark hair. She is knowledgable about the forest, using spears, and the Old Gods.

In *A Game of Thrones*, she is with a group led by Stiv, a Night Watch deserter, trying to escape the Others, and they flee south of the Wall. They encounter Bran Stark and at first they are going to rob him and steal his horse, but then they think to ransom him back to Winterfell. Osha thinks they should take him back to Mance Rayder to be a hostage, but she is over ruled. They are defeated by Theon Greyjoy, Robb Stark, Grey Wind and Summer. All of the group is killed except for Osha, who is taken to Winterfell for interrogation, but winds up being granted the position of a servant working in the kitchen under the winterfell baker (literally and figuratively). She says that she likes the smell of flour on his hands. She also says that if she lets him do what he wants under her skirt whenever he feels the need, then he lets her go to the Godswood to pray whenever she feels the need. It is in the Godwood talking about dragons, comets, giants, and the children of the forest, that she and Bran Stark meet and eventually begin to develop a relationship.

In *A Clash of Kings*, after he takes Winterfell, Osha surrenders to Theon and swears fealty to him earning his trust. She and the Reeds make an escape plan. Osha takes a plate of food to a guard,and seduces him. While he is distracted she slits his throat. Then Meera Reed and Jojen Reed let the Direwolves out of the Godswood and the wolves kill the guard on the Wall. She then leaves Winterfell with Hodor, Rickon, and Bran, but they only go as far as the woods. The wolves go on to make a false trail, while they backtrack back to hide in the crypts. They hide there to get away from Theon, hoping to complete their escape after the search for them has ended. When they come out two weeks later, it is to find Winterfell burned. Finding a badly injured Maester Luwin under the heart tree, Osha answers his request to be given the gift of mercy. He tells them that he doesn't know where they should go, as there are so many invaders fighting over the North and the roads aren't safe. However, they should separate with neither knowing where the other has gone. Osha leaves with Rickon and Shaggydog saying that she might try the Kingsroad, which is not her plan.

In *A Dance with Dragons*, it is revealed that Osha took Shaggydog and Rickon to Skagos. This is related to Davos by Wyman Manderly at White Harbour.

Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Laena Velaryon)

Lady **Rhaena Targaryen**, also known as **Rhaena of Pentos**, was a daughter of Prince Daemon Targaryen and Lady Laena Velaryon. Her twin sister was Baela Targaryen. Rhaena was betrothed to her cousin Prince Lucerys Velaryon.

Rhaena was born in Pentos in 116 AC.  When she was half a year old, she sailed from Pentos to Driftmark with her mother and twin sister. In 117 AC, she was presented at court by her father, Prince Daemon Targaryen. In 118 AC, with the blessing of King Viserys I Targaryen, Rhaena was betrothed, at the age of two, to Prince Lucerys Velaryon, her cousin. Rhaena and her twin sister, Baela, each had a dragon egg. When Rhaena’s egg hatched the hatchling was unhealthy and died within hours of emerging from the egg. Baela’s hatchling dragon was healthy, however. Before the civil war an egg from another clutch, laid by Syrax, was given to Rhaena, and it was said that she slept with it every night and prayed for a dragon to match her sister’s.

During the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, Rhaena was chosen to accompany Prince Joffrey Velaryon to Gulltown for their protection, although they were told it was to defend the Vale against King Aegon II Targaryen's dragons. Rhaena brought three dragon eggs with her to the Vale where she prayed nightly for their hatching.

Eventually she bonded with the dragon Morning, towards the end of the Dance of the Dragons.

Rhaena and her sister introduced Daenaera Velaryon to their half-brother Aegon III Targaryen, leading to the couple's marriage.

Rhaena herself married Ser Corwyn Corbray, by whom she had no issue, and later Garmund Hightower, by whom she had six daughters.
