Stygai

Stygai, also known as the City of the Night, is a ruined city in the mountainous Shadow Lands of eastern Essos. Despite being seemingly in ruins, it remains inhabited, although exactly who by is a mystery to nearly all.

## Location and Geography

The city lies on the Ash in the Vale of Shadows, a river valley northeast of Asshai.

Stygai, nestled into the mountainside, is supposedly ruined, although there are few that believe that it is simply a glamour intended to hide the city's true nature and the rumours of monsters are purposely spread to keep prying eyes away.

## History

Stygai is said to be a haunted corpse city. Twisted creatures, such as demons and dragons, are said to live in its vicinity, and even shadowbinders fear the city. Little is known of Stygai outside of the Shadow Lands, bar that its byname comes from the fact it only sees the light of the sun for a brief period of time each day, around noon.
The Kingdom of Omber

The Kingdom of Omber is a small province located on the northern edge of Essos, northeast of the Kingdom of Sarnor. To the west, the forested region known as the Kingdom of Rwhah Drekhta can be found.

It is named for the realm that once occupied the area.

In the days before the Century of Blood, the Kings and Princes of the region had grown wealthy from trade with Sarnor and the Ibbenese, however shortly after the fall of the Dothraki, the rulers of the Kingdom garnered the ire of the Kings of Sallosh and Sarys, who united to raze their cities without mercy.
Selhorys

### Currency

Honors (Copper, Bronze, Silver and Gold) (Roughly equivalent to Pennies, Stars, Stags and Dragons respectively)

Selhorys is a walled town located on the eastern shore of the river Rhoyne as it approaches it delta-estuary with the Summer Sea.

## Features

Although large, Selhorys is still considered a town, not an independent city, and is ruled from Volantis and protected by Volantene galleys. The Vhassar family of Volantis has a particularly notable presence within the city.

Alone among the major towns, Selhorys stands upon the eastern bank of the Rhoyne, and timber from the Forest of Qohor is sold in the markets of Selhorys.

Selhorys has towers, domes, and cobbled paths. The city's sandstone walls shelter shops, stalls, and storehouses along the piers. The river gate is guarded by Volantene slave soldiers with tiger stripes, while prostitutes in its brothels are also slaves. Lanterns within the city are made of coloured glass, unlike the parchment lanterns outside of the city walls.
Quentyn Blackmont

## Biography

Born in 261 to a distant cousin of the main Blackmont line, Quentyn was a strong lad who showed great promise from a young age as a knight of the Torrentine. In his younger years, his time in the castle yard would prove a bit of a mixed result as he was never able to win spars, just hold his own for some time. Instead he was drawn off to the side of the yard and towards the hammering of the smithy. He made friends with the castle smith, Artys, and the man began to show him the craft. Many days were spent hammering away at steel to make nails until he was able to move up to bigger nails, then horseshoes, then finally some chains.

By the time that he was eight and ten, Quentyn had mastered the hammer and was regularly helping out in the smithy, repairing armor and swords that had been damaged. He had enjoyed his life in the castle smithy, until one day, when he was two and twenty, the Lord Blackmont and Quentyn got into an argument over the swords that he had recently repaired. The two argued and it eventually turned into a fistfight that ended with Quentyn knocking him and being seized by the guards. He chose the Wall over the block and so made his way north to Castle Black, enjoying the sights of the Seven Kingdoms along the way.

He took his vows a few moons after arriving and was inducted into the Builders and immediately put to work in the smithy of Castle Black, as he was to replace the aging and ailing Ser Benedict Rivers, the current smith. He took up the position three years later, in 286, when Ser Benedict passed away in his sleep. From then on, he was in charge of equipping the Rangers with swords and armor, the Stewards with their metal ware, and the Builders with their tools and nails.

In 295, First Builder Rolf of the Rills passed away after being crushed by a falling tree. Lord Commander Bryce Webber had some trouble finding a new First Builder but eventually settled on the Dornishman smith of Castle Black. Quentyn took up the position and still does his duty in the smith of the castle, though less frequently as he has to oversee the entirety of the Wall, at least until recently as the new Lord Commander election brought the watch to chaos with his distant kinsman Gyles Blackmont declaring himself King on the Wall.

## History

Pryr, the closest of the true Stepstones to the Free City of Tyrosh, has always been kept under a close eye by the mercantile city.

Nazhe

The Nazhe is one of the many rivers found weaving throughout the Kingdom of Sarnor in northern Essos. It is a tributary of the river Shakhe.

## Geography

The Nazhe arises from the northern aspect of the Painted Mountains to the south the Kingdom of Sarnor. From here, it meanders north into the grassland hills south of Essaria, where it meets with the river Shakhe, which then flows onwards towards Hornoth.
Mors III Martell

Quentin Martell

**Prince Mors III Martell** was the fourteenth Prince of the Principality of Dorne. He saw the ancient blood fued between House Martell and House Yronwood reignited by the fierce Edgar II Yronwood following a broken alliance between the two Kingdoms in War of the Torrentine.

He fought with House Yronwood forces in several skirmishes on their bordered from 233AA-246AA. Until finally a white peace was exacted. This conflict was not considered an official war.
The Arbor

Seafood

The Arbor is a golden island off the southwestern-most part of Westeros, ruled by House Redwyne. It is considered part of the Kingdom of the Reach, and is separated from the mainland by the Redwyne Straits. It is protected by the Redwyne fleet, the largest single fleet in all of Westeros.

The Arbor and its surrounding isles are an excellent centre for shipbuilding.

## Settlements and Islands

The Arbor itself is but the largest of the isles over which House Redwyne claims dominion, for there are a great number of smaller isles around the golden island. Of particular note are:

* Stonecrab Cay
* The Isle of Pigs
* The Mermaid's Palace
* Horseshoe Rock
* Bastard's Cradle

 Located on the main island itself, there are three major settlements, and then further inland, the castle of House Redwyne itself, Gildstone Keep. The port town of Ryamsport is located on eastern coastline of the isle, Vinetown at the northern tip, and Starfish Harbour further to the south.

Elsewhere on the isle, the Keeps of the Houses Cockshaw, Dunn and Willum are also located.

## Culture

The Arbor is known for making the best wine in Westeros, of both red and golden varieties. It is often noted that wine from the Arbor is usually sweeter than wine from Dorne.

Tourneys held at the Arbor are restricted to knights.

## History

### Legend

Gilbert of the Vines, the legendary founder of House Redwyne, is said to have taught the Arbor's people to make wine.

### Ironborn

In the era of the First Men, ironborn rule under driftwood kings such as Qhored Hoare extended as far south as the Arbor. House Hoare's sigil included a grape cluster to represent the Arbor. Weaker ironborn kings eventually lost the Arbor, however, although Joron I Blacktyde is said to have raided the island and carried off its younger women.

### Kingdom of the Reach

In the aftermath of the Ironborn's decline, the Arbor was an independent kingdom. It was incorporated into the realm of Meryn III Gardener, the King of the Reach, when his cousin, the last King of the Arbor, was lost at sea. Fleets from the Arbor and Oldtown protected the Reach from naval attacks during the Andal invasion.
Ryamsport

Ryamsport is a port town in the Arbor, located on the edge of the Redwyne Straits. It is ruled by House Redwyne, one of the principal houses in the Kingdom of the Reach.

## Location and Geography

Located on the eastern side of the island, Ryamsport is the largest settlement on the Arbor. It is connected to Vinetown by a road that shares the name of the gate at which it enters the town, the Grapevine Gate. Starfish Way passes through Arthur's Gate to lead towards the southern aspect of the isle, where Starfish Harbour can be found.

Ryamsport, unlike the settlements of Vinetown and Starfish Harbour is surrounded in part by stone walls, forming a rudimentary defence for the port-town. Weaving through the settlement, the Sweetwine River meets with the Redwyne Straits north of Ryam's Harbour.

## Layout

* Herring Cross
* Swordfish Square
* Ryam's Harbour
* The Sweetvine River
* Roads and Gates
	+ The Grapevine passes through the Grapevine Gate in the north of the city, leading towards Vinetown.
	+ The Starfish Gate connects Ryam's Harbour to Ryamsport proper.
	+ Starfish Way passes through Arthur's Gate, and leads south towards Starfish Harbour.
	+ The Dolphin Gate flanks Gilbert's Path, the road that leads to Gildstone Keep.
	+ The Vintner's Road leads to many of the vineyards across the isles, and passes through the Sandpiper Gate.

Syrus Snow

**Syrus Snow** was the eldest of King Brandon XV Stark's bastard children and the first of The Barrow Princes, who would lay claim to the winter crown three times in the span of several decades.

## History

Popular both at court and with the smallfolk, Syrus believed he was the King that House Stark needed. His father was weak, as were his legitimate half-brothers, so he conspired to seize power for himself. With the help of his mother, Jocelyn Snow, he convinced his father to legitimise all of his bastard children. Unfortunately, his plot became known to his half-brother Brandon and within a fortnight the elderly King was dead from an illness. Unlike the masses, Syrus and his fellow bastard brothers did not view this as a sad tragedy - for they knew it was a cunning murder.

For five years after Brandon XVI's coronation, Syrus and his brothers worked to build support amongst the Lords of the North. Brandon was not a good King, arbitrary to the laws when it suited him and ruthless to those who he perceived had wronged him, but he was still a trueborn Stark and the brothers found their efforts thwarted many times.

Eventually, Syrus became sick of waiting. Whilst his half-brother was holding court, Syrus and his men seized control of several key buildings inside Winterfell castle and launched an attack upon the throne room. Meeting the Winter King in single combat, Snow dodged his kin's feeble strikes and drove his blade through Brandon's heart. Taking *Ice* as his own, Syrus fled Winterfell and called his banners.

## Death and Legacy

After two long years of war, support for The Barrow Prince had finally dried up. He made his last stand in the Barrows, where he prayed for his Dustin ancestors to come to his aid and guide him to victory, but all he found was the blade of Lord Umber. Syrus' rebellion died with him, but the Barrow Princes would cast a dark shadow over the North for years to come.
Otho I Gardener

Alester Gardener

**Otho I Gardener** was King of the Kingdom of the Reach from 79AA to 82AA, where he was slain by King Monfryd VII Durrandon at the Battle of Stonebridge(Now known as Bitterbridge.) During the war, King Jason I Lannister rode forth to stop King Monfryd in his tracks, saving the northern Reach from slipping into the Kingdom of the Stormlands.
Qarthak

Warships

Qarthak is a coastal city on the island of Qal within the Jade Gates.

It is currently controlled by the Tourmaline Brotherhood of Qarth.

## Location and Geography

The isle of Qal is found within the Jade Gates, and between the city of Qarthak on the northern coast, Qalred on the south and Qarth on the mainland, whomever claims dominion of them control the Jade Gates and thus the most direct route between the East and the West.

The city of Qarthak has been carved directly into the side of the pale cliffs found along the northwestern coasts. This makes the settlement very challenging to siege from the sea, although few have tried. The harbour, found on the eastern side of the city, is capable of holding over a hundred ships, although it is mostly occupied by galleys and warships at any given time.

## Recent History

The rule of the city of Qarth is contested by four major factions, all as wealthy and powerful as the last.

The Pureborn are descendants of the Qarth's ancient kings and queens, who ruled the city of Qarth from the Hall of a Thousand Thrones. The Ancient Guild of Spicers is a prominent merchant organisation that operate out of their smooth-stoned Guild in the south of the city. The Thirteen are a prominent group of traders that seek to rule from their Palaces throughout Qarth. The Tourmaline Brotherhood is a powerful merchant guild, and the current dominant power in the Queen of Cities. All seek dominion over Qarth, and as such all understand the importance of control of the city states that exist within Qartheen territory.

The Qartheen Civil War has raged for five decades as of present day, and seems far from a conclusion as each faction vies for control over Port Yhos, Ryllos, Qolahn, Qaggash, Qarkash, Qarlal, the settlements of Qal, namely Qarthak and Qalred, as well as the Mother of Cities, Qarth itself.
Second Sons

The Second Sons are a sellsword company found in the Free Cities. Their banner is a broken sword and they take commands only from their captain.

## History

The Second Sons are amongst the oldest of the free companies, having won some famous victories. Four hundred years ago the Second Sons stood in defense of Qohor along with the Bright Banners company against the first Dothraki *khalasar* to venture east since the Doom of Valyria. However, they suffered a defeat and fled the battlefield, though the battle was later won by the Three Thousand of Qohor.

The names of every man to serve with the Second Sons is written in a leather-bound book, as well as when they joined, where they fought, how long they served, and the manner of their deaths. A tradition of the company is to sign in red ink. There was a time when each new man wrote his name in his own blood, but that tradition faded as blood makes poor ink. Famous past members include Harwyn Hoare, Harwyn Hardhand, the first King of the Isles and the Rivers.
The Isle of Cedars

The Isle of Cedars is a relatively large island that defines the border between Slaver's Bay to the north and the Gulf of Grief to the south.

Once known as the Isle of a Hundred Battles, over recent millennia it has become a more tranquil place, known for its pale-sand beaches, dense forest covering and vivid blue shallow waters.

## History

Two cities on the Isle of Cedars, Ghozai in the north and Velos in the south, were destroyed by a tsunami triggered by the Doom of Valyria four centuries ago. The only survivors from the isle were Velosi spearmen stationed on the tallest hill and some fishermen at sea, and their descendants now reside within the various small settlements along the shoreline. There is another ruin on a small island just west of the Isle of Cedars, but its original name is as lost to the waves as its sandstone halls and towers.
The Battle of Lorassyon Wake

### Outcome

Braavosi defeat, Lorath remains part of the Alliance of the Narrow Sea nonetheless

The Battle of Lorassyon Wake was a battle fought shortly after the Blockade of Lorath, between the fleets hired by the Lorathi Magister Nyessano Eranyr and the navy of the Alliance of the Narrow Sea.

## Prelude

In 256AA, the Free City of Lorath, after sixteen months of beleaguerment by the forces of Braavos and Pentos, had surrendered to the Alliance of the Narrow Sea. Agreeing to sign the Pact, a document of laws to be followed by all members of the Alliance, Lorath is inducted as the newest member, and thus slavery is outlawed.

The Cabal set up to cast aside Braavosi influence in the city came to a heated impasse when Belaquo Mestir declares proudly that Lorath has been flourishing since Braavosi control was assumed. Magister Nyessano Eranyr instead refutes the claim, demanding action as planned. When the other Magisters of the city voted in favour of Belaquo, Nyessano stormed away, sailing east with a small fleet. Belaquo Mestir ordered a message be sent to Braavos, to warn them of a potential attack from the rogue Magister and any allies he may muster.

First arriving in Saath, seeking assistance against the Sealord and Braavos, the parties responsible for the recent subjugation and indoctrination of Lorath itself into the Alliance of the Narrow Sea. Agreeing to a number of one-sided trade deals in payment, Nyessano secure support of a Sarnori fleet when the time comes.

Ibben was also visited by the Lorathi Magister, seeking assistance from the Ibbenese in the planned coup of recently installed Braavosi influence within the city of Lorath. Whilst the Shadow Council voted against supporting the Lorathi, Nyessano left the isle with the attention of a number of Ibbenese raiders, who agreed to raid the Braavosian Coastlands when the time comes to force the Braavosi to split their fleet.

## The Battle of Lorassyon Wake

The Battle of Lorassyon Wake occurred two years later in 259AA when the Lorathi-Sarnori-Ibbenese fleet supporting Magister Nyessano Eranyr clashes with the Lorathi-Braavosi fleet supporting the Alliance of the Narrow Sea. With much of the Sealord's fleet elsewhere, dealing with Ibbenese raiders ravaging the Braavosian Coastlands, the strength of the Sarnori navy proved victorious, however Eranyr's own vessel was amongst those sunk.

Knowing that it was only through Nyessano that they could prosper, Admiral Tugor Ahasoi ordered the fleet return to Saath, and thus Alliance influence over Lorath was maintained.

Quentyn Qoherys was born in 266 AA to Qarlton and Darlessa Qoherys, just one year after his bastard brother Hugh Dusk. Quentyn was raised alongside his brother at the Aegonfort, and received the traditional upbringing of noble lord.

When he began his training he never became skilled in sword play because he was often given up fair advantages over his bastard brother. His father, Qarlton however, made sure learning when it came to warfare was well honed and discovered the boy had a gift as a Commander in the making.

As Quentyn grew older, he began climbing about the Aegonfort, scaling the walls and running along the rocks at Blackwater bay. Training himself to be quiet the acrobat. He often teased his brother that he could not do the same hoping to trick Hugh into falling, but the he would never follow Quentyn.

Quentyn's father was a very distinguished jouster and tourney knight, and because of this the young heir took up riding to be better both on the field of battle and in joust. His father trained the young lord himself, making sure young Quentyn knew how to handle a steed.

At the battle of Bitterbridge, Quentyn fight alongside his father and their soldiers, and though it was a lost for his kingdom, Quentyn did develop his skills on the battlefield and became a tactician in the art of war, using those skills to save many of their men from annihilation as well as himself.

Philip Morrigen

Stands at 6’0 with Auburn colored hair and dim green eyes. His hair is cut short and keeps himself clean shaven. He has a straight and strong chin with thin lips. His nose is sharp, but not long.

## Biography

Philip was born in 271 to as the firstborn son of Lord Morrigen. In his childhood, Philip was considered by many to be a kind a carefree child. He spent his time doing whatever seemed most fun to him at the time, be it playing pranks on the servants or going out to ride. His favorite activity was hunting, which he excelled at. Philip would oftentimes spend days at in the forest, near a camp stocked with food and servants nearby of course, and hunt whatever game he could find.

Life, as it always does, changed when the boy was squired to one of the landed knights of House Morrigen. Philip actually came to enjoy the life of a Knight, showing himself to be incredibly martially adept. He grew taller and stronger, learning all the skills a successful knight would need. Combat became a second nature to him, eventually reaching a point where he could fight two men at once. Philips weapon of choice was the long sword, which he practiced with nearly everyday for hours at a time.

Even living the life of a squire, the young Morrigen didn’t change personality. He was still the same care free soul of his youth and took pleasure in having little responsibility. This was something that his father would frown upon, but do nothing about.

Philip earned his knighthood after reaching the age of eight and ten. The happy was mixed with sad as shortly after earning his knighthood, his father was faced with a near death experience from sickness. Philip was very close to becoming the Lord. It was at this moment that he realized he didn’t want the Lordship of Crows Nest. The knight didn’t want to have the burden of ruling, likely because he thought himself incapable of doing any good.

In light of this, Ser Philip chose to leave his home and join the Nights Watch. He hoped to find a purpose more suited to his ability and even to win himself some glory. As was to be expected, Lord Morrigen was none to pleased but was unable to stop his determined son. Within a few moons Philip was at the Wall and made his vows.

At the Wall, Philips combat prowess was immediately taken note off and he was quickly made a Ranger. He was also stationed at Castle Black, the seat of the Lord Commander. It was during the several expeditions Beyond the Wall that the Stormlander learned how to survive on his own in the wilderness. He learned how to make a fire, clean water, stay dry and much more on these trips.

Currently, Ser Philip Morrigen is at Castle Black. After serving for nearly a decade he is considered a veteran Ranger and popular with many of his brothers. He was also one of the men to stay loyal to the Lord Commander and the ideals of the Nights Watch when the King on the Wall rose up to destroy everything the Watch stood for.

Runestone

Runestone is the seat of House Royce in the Vale of Arryn. It lies on a peninsula north of the Bay of Crabs, east of Redfort and south of Old Anchor. While Runestone is on the northern shore of the peninsula, the nearby city of Gulltown is on the southern shore. Helliweg is the maester at Runestone.

## History

Runestone was the ancient seat of the Bronze Kings of old from House Royce. After defeating seven Andal longships during the Andal invasion, King Yorwyck VI Royce placed the heads of his slain foes along the walls of his castle. The Royces submitted to Artys Arryn after the death of King Robar II Royce in the Battle of the Seven Stars.
Murana

The Murana is a river found within the Disputed Lands near the Free City of Myr.

## Geography

The Murana has its source in the Violet Lake at the heart of the Disputed Lands. It meanders northwest, reaching the Bay of Myrth southwest of the city of Myr.

## Recent History

The river Murana and the Violet Lake where the site of the Myrish General Tyros Drahar's seemed last stand during the Five Year War for Myr. Surrounded by a much larger Braavosi-Pentoshi force, the army of Myr put up a valiant defence but were ultimately defeated.

Tyros Drahar however was not present, having given his armour to his second-in-command Maricho. Instead, he travelled to Volantis, seeking assistance from the First Daughter against the Sealord's armies.
Mossovy

Mossovy, sometimes called Far Mossovy in reference to its position in far-east Essos, is a forested region near the Grey Waste and the Plains of the Jogos Nhai. To the north are the Thousand Islands of the Shivering Sea.

Owing largely to the hostility associated with the surrounding lands, very little is known of the forest itself, and tales of skinchangers, shapeshifters, demonhunters and all manners of men and beasts come from those that claim to have visited the cold, dark forest, although few have any real proof to validate their stories.

It is thought that much of the Grey Waste was once covered in forest, in the books within the Great Library of Huiji in Yi Ti are to be believed. When the trees were felled, the land grew barren and little more than dust. What civilisation was responsible for this mass deforestation remains undeclared however, leaving the proposal as little more than speculation in the minds of many.
Cletus Yronwood

Gwyneth Yronwood

Ysilla Yronwood

Cletus Yronwood was the third child of King Yoren IV Yronwood and Queen Arianne Fowler.

He was a quiet boy, a middling swordsman at best, but a master poet, writer and artist. Cletus was kind and quiet, especially with his wife, and was distraught when his son died of sickness in infancy.

Though he was never good with women, the boy fell in love with Lythene Tyrell during a visit to Highgarden in 294AA, using a disguise to paint the maze outside the castle. There, he stayed for a year, finally marrying her in 295AA. He bore his first child with her in 295AA, but the boy died in infancy, much to their parents distraught.

In 296AA, he returned to Yronwood with his wife, and gave birth to his daughter Jennelyn, to their joy, was a strong and healthy.

But their joy did not last. Cletus fought in The Storm War alongside his father and brothers. There in the Second Battle of the Boneway, he died in a duel with Ser Beric Toyne, dying in the arms of his brother Anders Yronwood.

He whispered the name Lythene before he died.
The Fourth War for Yaros

The Fourth War for Yaros was a conflict between the Slaver's Cities of Astapor and Yunkai over control of Yaros, an island in Slaver's Bay.

Conflicts started to brew between Yunkai and Astapor once more in 249AA over the occupation of the isle of Yaros. The Fourth War is considered to have definitively started when Astapori warships land upon the isle, seeking to eject the Yunkai'i settlers lingering upon the isle.

Bolstered by the sellsail company The Three Sails, the Yunkai'i navy managed to throw back the Astapori advance, securing their dominion over Yaros once again.
Rolland I Durrandon

Maldon Durrandon

Robert Durrandon

Myranda Durrandon

**Rolland I Durrandon** would take up the rule of the Kingdom of the Stormlands after the unfortunate fate of his father in a hunting accident in 92 AA. Owing to his extensive training to be king at the insistence of his father, many took to calling King Rolland I Durrandon "the Prodigy King" for his skillful handling of the realm at a young age.

## Reign of King Rolland I Durrandon

Styling himself a conqueror, an expander of his realm, King Rolland envisioned the Stormlands stretching from the Greenbelt to the Blackwater Rush, and to the Stepstones in the east. In the years 106 and 107 AA, King Rolland attacked the Triarchy of the Three Daughters and conquered the Stepstones with the aid of House Celtigar, achieving much of his dream of a larger Kingdom of the Stormlands.

In the end, his undoing would be that dream of expansion. He invaded to the south, seeking to add the Greenbelt to his domain. During battles with the Kingdom of the Greenbelt in 108 AA he took a wound that festered, severely weakening the King and causing his death three years later in 111 AA.
Ronnel I Arryn

King Ronnel I Arryn was the first King of the reformed Kingdom of Mountain and Vale, he spent much of his youth under the Regency of his mother, until 14AA when he was of age. He ruled from 1AA to 20AA, when he was killed by mountain clansman on the road.

During his reign, the Kingdom saw great conquest in the Riverlands under the orders of Queen Regent Sharra Arryn. The armies of the Vale conquered up towards Seaguard.
The Iron Bank of Braavos

The Iron Bank is the main bank of Braavos. It is one of the wealthiest banks of the Known World and often lends money to outsiders, such as archons, triarchs, and the many Kings of the Westeros.

Maesters have learned of some the Iron Bank's history and dealings—for the bank is famous for its discretion and secrecy—thanks to Archmaester Matthar's *The Origins of the Iron Bank and Braavos*. The bank's ships dock at the Purple Harbor of Braavos.  A common saying among the Braavosi is "The Iron Bank will have its due.

## History

According to Matthar, the Iron Bank was founded by sixteen men and seven women who hid valuables in an abandoned iron mine shortly after the foundation of Braavos. As the iron mine's chambers filled with treasures, a bank was formed to utilize the wealth. Each of the twenty-three founders had a key to these great subterranean vaults, and their descendants—now numbering at least one thousand—are known as "keyholders" who proudly display ceremonial keys on formal occasions. Other powerful Braavosi own shares in the bank, sit on its secret councils, and have a voice in selecting the men who lead it.

Prior to the Uncloaking, Uthero Zalyne, Sealord of Braavos, sent envoys from the Iron Bank to negotiate with the Valyrian Freehold. The bank paid settlements to the grandchildren of the shipowners whose vessels had been seized by the fugitive founders of Braavos, but not for the slaves.

Though all the Free Cities have their own banks, the Iron Bank is richer and more powerful than the others combined and has a fearsome reputation when collecting debts. When princes or kings default on their debts or are foolish enough not to honor their agreements with the Iron Bank, the Iron Bank supports new princes and kings to appear. These new princes and kings then honor the previous debt along with paying back the money the bank loaned them in claiming their new power, lest they suffer the same fate as their predecessors.

The Bank helped fund Jarilos Prestayn in hiring sellswords during The Five Year War for Myr.

Ever since the acquisition of the Rogare Bank, The Sathmantes Mint remains the Iron Banks chief rival, as they have grown to near the strength of the Iron Bank itself.
Rolfe II Drumm

**Rolfe II Drumm** was the fourteenth King of the reformed Kingdom of the Iron Islands from 123AA to 143AA.

After many years of conflict and strife a new King emerged that seemed to be the man the Isles needed. A deeply religious man and a staunch supporter of the Old Way. Rolfe worked tirelessly to reunite the Iron Islands, but spent so much time doing this that he failed to prepare a legacy. With his death so too died dreams of a Drumm Dynasty.

He was a pious King, revitalizing raids and religion in the Iron Islands.

The First of the "Four Good Kings."
The Plains of the Jogos Nhai

The Plains of the Jogos Nhai is a vast region in northern Essos beyond the Bone Mountains. It is, as the name suggests, inhabited by the Jogos Nhai, a nomadic culture of mounted warriors that have raided the lands of the Golden Empire of Yi Ti for centuries.

## Geography and Topography

The plains are situated in Essos, east of the Great Sand Sea and the Howling Hills, north of Yi Ti and the Shrinking Sea, and west of N'Ghai and the Bleeding Sea. To the north is Leviathan Sound and the Shivering Sea.

The region represents a vast area of flat grasslands, varied only by the presence of gentle hills and small rocky peaks that score the orange, green and brown grasses.
The Golden Fields

Livestock

The Golden Fields is a region of Essos located along the riverside of the Rhoyne. It is known for its deeply fertile pastures, which primarily function to serve the Free City of Volantis.

## Location

Stretching from the southern bank of the Noyne to the river Lhorulu where it meets the Rhoyne, the Golden Fields run parallel to the Velvet Hills to their west, and the Rhoyne itself to the west.

To the north, the city of Norvos can be found, whereas south Volantis and its vassal cities of Selhorys, Valysar and Volon Therys are located.
The Blockade of Lorath

The Blockade of Lorath was a sixteen month long beleaguement of the Free City of Lorath by the Sealord Jarilos Prestayn and the Braavosi navy.

## Timeline of Events

254AA - In the final moon of 254, the Blockade of Lorath begins. The Sealord, an eager and ambitious man seeking to fundamentally prove that slavery is not a necessity for the Free Cities to flourish sends an offer to the Lorathi Princes and Magisters to join an unified alliance of cities dedicated to furthering their beliefs. Upon Lorathi refusal, a Braavosi fleet sails east, beginning a sixteen moon long blockade of the city.

255AA - The Blockade of Lorath continues through the year of 255AA, with food supplies growing dwindlingly small. The city is sustained somewhat by the seafood attainable from the shoreline, away from the blockading Braavosi ships, but any fishing vessel attempting to travel into deeper waters is quickly dispatched by the purple-hulled warships.

256AA - The Magisters submit to the will of the Sealord, agreeing to sign the Pact laid before them in order to end the Braavosi blockade. Meanwhile, dignitaries are sent east to the Sarnori and Ibbenese, and scheming to relinquish Braavosi influence begins shortly after the blockade is dissolved.

258AA - A Lorathi messenger convoy arrives at the Arsenal, bringing news of a potential rebellion brewing to the east. The Lorathi Magister Nyessano Eranyr had long been an opponent of the increase of Braavosi influence in the city, and the joining of the Alliance of the Narrow Sea. After he left the city in a rage, the remaining Conclave grows fearful that he may plan a coup, or a strike against Braavos itself, and thus seek protection from the Sealord and his mighty fleet. The Battle of Lorassyon Wake occurs when the Lorathi-Sarnori-Ibbenese fleet supporting Magister Nyessano Eranyr clashes with the Lorathi-Braavosi fleet supporting the Alliance of the Narrow Sea. With much of the Sealord's fleet elsewhere, dealing with Ibbenese raiders ravaging the Braavosian Coastlands, the strength of the Sarnori navy proves victorious, however Eranyr's own vessel is amongst those sunk. Knowing that it was only through Nyessano that they could prosper, Admiral Tugor Ahasoi orders the fleet return to Saath, and thus Alliance influence over Lorath is maintained.

260AA - Ibbenese raiders continue to attack the Braavosian Coastlands and the shorelines of the Lorath Bay in spite of the demise of the Magister Nyessano Eranyr, who originally encouraged such actions. They remain a plague to the Sealord for the next decade.

270AA - The last of the Ibbenese raiders let loose upon the Braavosian Coastlands and shorelines of Lorath Bay by Magister Nyessano Eranyr is slain at the Battle of Ebon Cliff, where Vyran Antaryon struck down the Reaver-Lord Jagg Vargo in single-combat upon the pebbled beach near the eponymous cliffs.
The Lost Legion

The Lost Legion are a sellsword company based in Essos, primarily in Slaver's Bay. They have been known to seek contracts further afield however, and have fought for Volantis and Qohor in the past.

They are perhaps best known for their claimed Valyrian descent, although many have noted that their appearance seems more in line with the Iron Legions of Ghiscar, something that seems to be further strengthened by their predilection for the Ghiscari province.
The Free Cities

The Free Cities are nine great cities found on the western aspect of the continent of Essos.

The nine city-states composing the Free Cities lie across the narrow sea, east of Westeros, on the western side of the eastern continent. Braavos, Lorath, Lys, are located on islands, Myr, Pentos, and Volantis are located on the coasts, and Norvos and Qohor lie inland. There are significant differences between the geography of the various cities, from the thick forests around Qohor, to the rolling hills of Norvos, to the tiny islands of Braavos. To the east of the Free Cities lies the Kingdom of Sarnor, in which what many consider to be the tenth Free City, Essaria, can be found. North of the Free Cities lie the Shivering Sea and the islands of Ibben.

The Shadow Council

The Shadow Council is the ruling body of Ibben ever since the last God-King was overthrown in the aftermath of the Doom of Valyria during an event known as the Thawing of Ibben. Its members are chosen by the Thousand, an assembly of Ibbenese wealthy guildsmen, ancient nobles, priests, and priestesses similar to the magisters' councils in the Free Cities. Unlike the Free Cities however, there are differing titles given to those that sit upon the council.

## Responsibilities and Titles

Within the Shadow Council, there are six members, all of which who serve for life. They can, however, stand down from their duties, but in doing so they relinquish their chance to be ever be reinstated to the Council. Those six that serve are of technically equal power and standing, however there is distinction between them.

* The Silver - The spokesperson of the Council, considered its head by many, although no extra power is granted by the moniker. It is the responsibility of the Silver to treat with foreigners be it to declare war against threats and offer peace and trade to those appropriate, although he can delegate any other to do it on his behalf, except for the other members of the Shadow Council.
* The Amber - The next to serve as the Silver after the current person in the position has served their five years.
* The Obsidian - The Silver becomes the Obsidian when their half-decade term is completed. Their primary responsibility is the choosing of the next Amber, and thus indirectly the next Silver. This task is done at the start of their service in the role, which they continue with until the current Silver has finished their spell.

## Current Members

* Rogg Tobo - The Current Silver
* Ipi Akta - The Current Amber
* Onartok Napak
* Annak Nuvoth
* Kunik Iluat
* Garr Miki - The Current Obsidian
Roland Brune

## Roland "the Dread" Brune

"I am your King! I am your King!" the last words of Roland before being thrown into the caves of woe to freeze.

## Biographical Information

### Titles

King of Hardhome(former), Brother of the Nights Watch(former)

## Personal Information

### Religion

Faith of the Seven

**Roland Brune** was once a man of the Night's Watch before breaking his vows and abandoning his post. He rebuilt Hardhome and crowned himself King of Hardhome.

## Appearence

Roland has been remembered as being "insignifcant" in appearance. He sported simple facial hair which complimented his plain face.His most noteworthy feature was his missing left ear.

## History

Roland was born in Dyre Den one of many in the long line of succession for the Lordship at the time. There is very little recording of him in Dyre Den but one Maester suggested that he was sent to the Wall on the crime of "Treason" there is no further recording of what extent his crime was commited to.

What is known is that he was sent to the Wall at the age of 16 and after taking his vows he was made a Builder Eastwatch-by-the-Sea which was a position he enjoyed.

It's unclear his reason for deserting the wall but what is known is that 30 of his Brothers followed him and with in 3 moons Hardhome was defendable.

He invited 3 Nomadic tribes who had little to do with the Nightswatch to join him in Hardhome and he established himself as King.

After a holy man arrived from the Caves of Woe(a series of caves above Hardhome, a holy place for the dwellers of Hardhome) saying that the next ruler to live beyond the wall would infact be a women the tribes turned against Roland including his fellow deserters and threw him into the caves of woe to freeze as punishment for his crime. He was named "The Dread" and "The God Usurper" as a reminder that he was not a good man. But in truth, Roland Brune was very insignificant.
