The Battle of the Blackwater
Selected reading
House Manderly is a powerful northern family whose ancestors fled the Reach and found refuge under House Stark. They built White Harbor into the North’s principal port and remain notable for following the Faith of the Seven despite their northern setting. Their white merman and trident mark a house shaped by southern origins, northern loyalty, and a strategic position on the coast.

Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold.[4]
