Ser Artys Arryn, also known as the Winged Knight, is a legendary Andal leader who crossed the sea from the hills of Andalos on the eastern continent and became the first King of Mountain and Vale, founding House Arryn.[1]

History

According to legend, Ser Artys was an Andal leader who set from Essos to conquer Westeros and spread the Faith of the Seven. He commanded the forces that drove the First Men and Children of the Forest out of the Vale of Arryn. He flew to the top of Giant's Lance on the back of a giant falcon to slay the Griffin King. There are hundreds of tales recording his adventures.[1] He is said to have been the first King of Mountain and Vale.
