House Royce of the Gates of the Moon is a the cadet branch of House Royce of Runestone. Recently Lord Protector of the Vale Petyr Baelish raised them to lordship. In his words to Nestor Royce, Lord Baelish granted them the lordship "For their loyal service", but privately to Alayne he admitted to "buying their support".
[edit] Nestor
Nestor Royce is Lord Yohn's cousin. A barrel-chested man with a bald head and a greying beard, Nestor served as High Steward of the Vale for fourteen years while Jon Arryn served as Hand of the King in King's Landing. In this capacity, he was also caretaker of the Gates of the Moon. Because he virtually ruled the Vale for so long, Nestor felt he was owed for his long years of service. In order to secure his loyalty, Lord Protector Petyr Baelish granted him permanent lordship over the keep after the War of the Five Kings.
[edit] Myranda
The daughter of Lord Nestor, Myranda is a ribald young widow, and serves as his chatelaine and hostess at the Gates of the Moon. She is known to keep a lively court there.
