Iron Islands

The **Iron Islands** are one of the constituent regions of Westeros. The Iron Islands were long an independent nation confined to their islands before they invaded Westeros roughly a century before the War of Conquest, eventually going on to conquer the Riverlands. They were defeated by Aegon the Conqueror and forced to swear fealty to him.

Aegon had to utterly destroy the then-ruling House Hoare during the Conquest, so allowed the ironborn to choose their new ruling house. They chose House Greyjoy of Pyke, who have ruled the islands ever since.

## People

The ironborn are independent, fierce and sometimes cruel. Theirs is a harsh land and they hold no truck with mainland or 'green land' way, which they hold to be soft and womanly. They use horses, who do not breed well on the islands, only as beasts of burden or conveyence, not in battle, and prefer the use of ships. They are raiders and reavers, not farmers. They despise the soft gods of the mainland, preferring their Drowned God who rewards the strong.

Bastards born in the Iron Islands take the surname 'Pyke'.

## Economy

The Iron Islands are rocky, which makes it difficult for farming. There are mines on the islands, but they do not contain any precious metals- only iron. Iron can be obtained through backbreaking labor. Wealth is spare here, which is why the people of the Iron Islands are known for raiding.

## History

Originally, each island had its own kingdom, with each kingdom having two kings (a rock king of the land and a salt king of the sea). This changed 5,000 years before the Greyjoy Rebellion. Now, one king rules all of the islands.

### A Feast for Crows

When Ser Jaime Lannister talks with Sybell Spicer, she tells him that Tywin had promised her son, Ser Raynald Westerling, would be married to a bride from Casterly Rock, saying that Raynald would be given joy of him.

Jaime interprets as this meaning that Tywin was intending to marry Joy to Raynald, but the accuracy of this is questionable, as Joy had already been promised to Lord Walder Frey in exchange for his help during the Red Wedding.

Mander

**The Mander** is the largest river located in The Reach. Members of House Manderly claim the river was named after them.

## Geography

The source of the river is located in the hills near Tumbleton in the northeast of the Reach. It flows southwest past Bitterbridge and goes on to meet the Blueburn near Longtable and the Cockleswent near Cider Hall. The Mander meets another river near Highgarden and continues west, passing north of Brightwater Keep before opening onto a bay of the Sunset Sea to the east of the Shield Islands.

The river is large and slow moving, wide but with snags and sandbars that can make it hard to navigate. Beyond Bitterbridge it gets shallow, muddy and rough, and can only be navigated by small ships.

## History

The location of Highgarden was supposedly decided by Garth the Gardener due to its proximity to the Mander river. Another King of the Reach, King Garth VII Gardener, fortified the Shield Islands and armed their smallfolk to protect the Mander from the raiders of The Iron Islands.

House Manderly once held the castle of Dunstonbury along the banks of the Mander river, but they were driven out by Lord Lorimar Peake. The heads of House Manderly claim the title Lord Marshal of the Mander to the current times.

After House Gardener's male line was extinguished in the Field of Fire the new King of Westeros, King Aegon I Targaryen, granted Highgarden to Lord Harlan Tyrell, titling him as the Lord Paramount of the Mander. The Mander supposedly ran red with blood after the Battle of Stonebridge during the Faith Militant Uprising.

During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Ser Quentyn Ball slew all of the sons of the Lady of House Penrose at a crossing of the Mander, bar the youngest, whom he spared out of honour for the lady and her ancient house. Lord Quellon Greyjoy was killed in the Battle of the Mander during Robert's Rebellion.

This theory is supported by Connington's distaste for Elia Martell, Rhaegar's wife.

Connington is a POV character in *A Dance with Dragons*.

A Drowned Man called the Shrike led a quick and successful rebellion, crowning another of Lelia's sons, Hagon Hoare, who restored traditional Ironborn practices.

Hagon became known as Hagon the Heartless as he gave his brother and mother over to the rebels to be mutilated. The Shrike blamed Lelia for turning her husband and son away from the Drowned God. Lelia's lips, ears, eyelids and tongue were removed, and she was then returned to Casterly Rock

Infuriated, and believing that House Targaryen had insulted House Baratheon's honor, he renounced his fealty to the Iron Throne, declared himself Storm King, and pronounced that the Stormlands had seceded from the Seven Kingdoms. He called his banners and took up arms against the Crown.

Lyonel's brief rebellion ended when he was defeated by Ser Duncan the Tall, now a member of the Kingsguard, in a trial by combat. King Lyonel surrendered and abdicated, and swore fealty to the Crown once more.

Lhazar

**Lhazar** is a region located to the east of Slaver's Bay and south of the Dothraki Sea. It is located west and north-west of the Red Waste. It is populated by the Lhazareen, a notably unwarlike people known as the "lamb men" to the Dothraki.

## Geography

Lhazar is separated from Slaver's Bay by a range of sandstone mountains. The Khyzai Pass links Lhazar to this region. The Skahazadhan River forms Lhazar's northern border and flows through the pass to Meereen. Most of Lhazar seems to consist of plains and low hills, ideal for rearing sheep.

The capital city of Lhazar is Lhazosh. The nation's other two major cities are Hesh and Kosrak. Lhazar's northern borders are frequently raided by the Dothraki, who see the Lhazareen as easy pickings to takes as slaves and sell downriver at Meereen.

A network of roads link the three main cities together, with additional roads leading eastwards across the Red Waste to the Bone Mountains and south-east towards Qarth. Another road follows the river and pass westwards to Meereen.

## Culture

Lhazar seems to consist mostly of townships which serve as the centers for regions of farming and sheep-rearing. Lhazareen villages and towns are often centered on a temple to their dominant deity, the Great Shepherd. Lhazar is not an aggressive nation, and does not seem to maintain standing armies. Individual Lhazareen will fight to defend themselves, but they have no martial culture. However, Lhazareen priestesses, or *maegi*, are said to wield formidable magical powers if provoked.

## History

Khal Drogo launches an attack on Lhazar's northern border, planning to captured many slaves and herd them downriver to sell in Meereen. He plans to use the resulting funds to buy ships to help invade Westeros. However, Drogo takes a wound during the battle and is attended by a Lhazareen *maegi*, Mirri Maz Duur. Daenerys, hoping to make amends for the Dothraki's brutal attack, convinces Drogo to let Mirri Maz Duur treat him. However, Duur instead turns Drogo into a drooling vegetable and kills Daenerys's unborn son in vengeance. Daenerys has Mirri Maz Duur burned alive on her husband's funeral pyre, resulting in the hatching of her three dragon eggs.

Daenerys, having captured Meereen, opens negotiations with the Lhazareen to help supply the beleaguered city. They agree to send supplies, but not provide military assistance.

## Prelude

King Aegon V Targaryen arranged a betrothal of his heir, Prince Duncan Targaryen, to Lyonel Baratheon's daughter. However, the betrothal was broken when Duncan fell in love with and married the lowborn Jenny of Oldstones. Infuriated, and believing that House Targaryen had insulted House Baratheon's honor, he renounced his fealty to the Iron Throne, declared himself Storm King, and pronounced that the Stormlands had seceded from the Seven Kingdoms.

## The rebellion

King Lyonel called his banners and took up arms against the Crown.

The conflict ended when King Lyonel was defeated by Ser Duncan the Tall of the Kingsguard, in a trial by combat. Lyonel surrendered and abdicated, and swore fealty to the Crown once more.

Magic

**Magic** or **sorcery** is a power in the world of *A Song of Ice and Fire*. It is regarded with scepticism in Westeros, as it has not been a notable force in the world since the Doom of Valyria. However, it remains more potent in Essos, where practioners known as warlocks and shadowbinders still hold great power.

## *A Game of Thrones*

Magic is said to have declined in the west after the Doom fell across Valyria and the Lands of the Long Summer, but remains extant in the lands to the east. Mirri Maz Duur, a *maegi* of the Lhazareen, uses sorcery to prolong the life of Khal Drogo, but only as a drooling imbecile. Daenerys Targaryen sacrifices both Duur and Drogo's body on a funeral pyre which results in the hatching of her three dragons.

Melisandre, a shadowbinder from Asshai, uses sorcery to create shadows to kill Renly Baratheon and Courtney Penrose. In Qarth Daenerys Targaryen comes into conflict with the Undying, a guild of warlocks, but defeats them with her dragons. The Guild of Alchemists in King's Landing also notes that their ability to create wildfire has dramatically increased in the last few months (since the birth of Daenerys's dragons, suggesting a causal relationship between the two).

## *A Storm of Swords*

Thoros of Myr uses magic to resurrect Lord Beric Dondarrion from death several times.

## *A Feast for Crows*
