'''Lord Hayford''' was the lord of [[Hayford]] in the days of King [[Daeron II Targaryen|Daeron II]]. He was made [[Hand of the King]] shortly before the [[Redgrass Field]] during the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]], replacing Lord [[Ambrose Butterwell]], who had done such a dismal job that many questioned his loyalty. Lord Hayford, however, had been stalwart from the first.

During the Blackfyre Rebellion, Hayford was a noted loyalist, and amongst the Knights fighting in the Battle of the Redgrass fields underneat the Hayford banner was Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree]], and his squire [[Roger of Pennytree]].

Lord Hayford died in the battle in {{Date|196}}. He was killed by Lord [[Gormon Peake]], who also killed Ser Arlan's squire Roger in the same battle.

'''Arya Stark''' is the third child and second daughter of [[Eddard Stark|Lord Eddard]] and [[Catelyn Stark|Lady Catelyn]] Stark. She is nine at the start of ''[[A Game of Thrones]]''. She has five siblings: brothers [[Robb Stark|Robb]], [[Bran Stark|Bran]], [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]], half-brother [[Jon Snow]], and older sister [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]].

Like some of her siblings, she sometimes dreams that she is a [[direwolf]].{{ref|aSoS|3}} Her own direwolf is [[Nymeria (direwolf)|Nymeria]], who is named in reference to the [[Rhoynar]] warrior-queen [[Nymeria|of the same name]].

Arya is the only character to have at least one [[POV Character|POV]] chapter in each of the five books.

==Character and Appearance==
Arya is a spirited girl interested in fighting and exploration, unlike her older sister, [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]]. Arya wants to learn how to fight with a sword and ride in tourneys, to the horror of [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], who enjoys the more traditional pursuits of a noblewoman. Arya is particularly close to her half brother [[Jon Snow]], who encourages her martial pursuits. [[Jon Snow]] gives Arya her first sword, [[Needle]], as a gift. Throughout her travels, Arya displays great resourcefulness, cunning, and an unflinching ability to accept hard necessity. She is said to take after her fiery aunt [[Lyanna Stark|Lyanna]] in temperament.{{Ref|aGoT|22}}

Arya's appearance is more Stark than Tully, with a long face, grey eyes, and brown hair. She is skinny and athletic. At the start of the story, she is generally regarded as plain, as exemplified by her nickname "Arya Horseface", and often mistaken for a boy. However, there are instances of her being called pretty, compared to the beautiful [[Lyanna Stark|Lyanna]]{{Ref|aGoT|22}}, and catching the eye of men later in the books. In Braavos the [[Kindly Man]] says she has a pretty face.{{ref|adwd|64}} For more images see '''[[:Category:Images of Arya Stark|here]]'''.

She is left-handed, quick, and dexterous. She learned basic swordplay in the [[Braavos]]i [[Water Dancer]] tradition and later learned how to handle knives. She is a [[skinchanger|warg]], entering her direwolf Nymeria in her dreams, as well as cats in Braavos. She received a noble's education at [[Winterfell]] and is said to be good with mathematics and an excellent horse rider. She has proved to know at least a bit of [[Valyria|High Valyrian]].{{ref|adwd|64}} She also speaks Braavosi with a strong accent and has put some effort into learning the language, under orders from the Kindly Man. She has a quick and curious mind and a pragmatic outlook.

==History==
Arya is the youngest daughter and third child of [[Catelyn Stark|Lady Catelyn]] and [[Eddard Stark|Lord Eddard]] Stark, head of [[House Stark]] and [[Warden of The North|Warden]] of the [[North]]. She was born soon after Eddard Stark's return from the [[Greyjoy Rebellion]] and raised at [[Winterfell]]. Arya has an older sister [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]]. She has an older brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]] and two younger brothers [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]. She also has a [[bastard]] half-brother [[Jon Snow]].

In her nine years, she has quickly shown herself to be an independent and wild-spirited girl. Unlike her sister, she rejects the notion that she must become a lady and marry for influence and power, showing no interest in the womanly arts of dancing, singing, and sewing; instead she revels in fighting and exploring, to the bemusement of her tutor Septa [[Mordane]] and parents. Known affectionately as "Arya Underfoot" by the staff and servants of Winterfell.

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[File:Arya stark by teiiku.jpg|thumb|300px|Arya exploring in the vaults under [[King's Landing]]. Art by TeiIku©]]
[[File:Joffs justice Arya POV by cabepfir.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Eddard Stark|Arya father's]] executed, TV interpretation of the scene, by Cabepfir]]
Arya travels with her father, [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]], to [[King's Landing]] when he is made [[Hand of the King|Hand]]. Before she leaves, her half-brother [[Jon Snow]] gives her a sword called Needle, after her least favourite ladylike activity, as a parting gift. He tells her she will need to practice to get good, but that the first lesson is to "stick 'em with the pointy end". On the way south, she befriends a peasant boy named [[Mycah]]; they often play at swords.

While taking a walk together, Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and her sister [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] happen upon Arya and Mycah "battling" in the woods. Arya defends Mycah from Joffrey's torments and her [[direwolf]] [[Nymeria (direwolf)|Nymeria]] helps Arya fight off Joffrey, wounding his arm in the process. Knowing that Nymeria will likely be killed in retribution, Arya and [[Jory Cassel]] chase her wolf away.{{Ref|aGoT|15}} Arya is brought before King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]], who counsels Eddard to handle punishment himself, but Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] is not satisfied with this and orders Sansa's direwolf, [[Lady (direwolf)|Lady]], to be killed in Nymeria's place. The peasant boy, Mycah, having fled, is tracked and killed by Joffrey's "dog," the [[Sandor Clegane|Hound]].{{Ref|aGoT|16}} From this moment, Arya harbors a lasting enmity for Clegane.

While in King's Landing, her father discovers Needle, but she refuses to give up Jon's name as the gift giver. [[Eddard Stark|Her father]] realizes that she must be trained if she is entertaining ideas about swordsmanship. Arya begins training under [[Syrio Forel]], a celebrated [[Braavos]]i swordsman. Under his strict, but creative, tutelage, Arya learns to fight in the Braavosi style with [[Needle]].{{Ref|aGoT|22}} She spends most of her time doing balancing and swordplay exercises as Forel instructed her. During one of these she discovers a secret passage in the castle. She overhears two men, who by description seem to be [[Varys]] and [[Illyrio]] speaking about her father, Cersei and Varys' children-spies.{{Ref|aGoT|32}}

During the purge of [[House Stark|Stark]] from the [[Red Keep]], Syrio realises the Lannister guardsman were not sent by her father as they said, he holds off Arya's attackers with a practice sword so she can escape.{{Ref|aGoT|50}} Arya got out of the castle using the passage she found earlier, but she could not get out of the city since the gates are heavily guarded. She lives on the streets of [[Flea Bottom]], catching pigeons and rats to trade for food, until the day she witnesses her father's public condemnation. She is found in the crowd by [[Yoren]] of the [[Night's Watch]], who recognises her and then saves her from the sight of Eddard's execution and drags her from King's Landing.{{Ref|aGoT|65}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Arya escapes [[King's Landing]] with [[Yoren]] and his party of [[Night's Watch]] recruits, with Yoren planning to return her to [[Winterfell]] on his way back the Wall. Yoren shaves her head and makes Arya assume the identity of ''Arry'', a boy recruit traveling with Yoren to the Wall.{{Ref|aCoK|1}} They made it as far as a deserted town near the [[God's Eye]] lake, where they are attacked by raiders led by Ser [[Amory Lorch]]. Arya is one of the few to escape alive, along with [[Gendry]], [[Hot Pie]], [[Lommy Greenhands]], and [[Weasel]]. Before escaping, she saves the lives of the chained Night's Watch prisoners [[Jaqen H'ghar]], [[Rorge]] and [[Biter]].{{Ref|aCoK|15}} Hot Pie calls her ''Lumpyface'' and Lommy calls her ''Lumpyhead''.

Arya heads out with the survivors until they are captured by Ser [[Gregor Clegane|Gregor]] and [[The Mountain's men|his men]] in the next town, where they are held for eight days, while the [[Tickler]] ''questions'' the villagers.{{Ref|aCoK|19}} Then they are taken to Harrenhal and made servants. On the journey, she creates a [[#Hit List|Hit List]] of all those she hates and wants to kill. At Harrenhal she is assigned to the steward [[Weese]] to work at the [[Wailing Tower]].{{Ref|aCoK|26}} Several days later, she reunites with Jaqen and the two other prisoners she saved, who are now in the employ of Ser [[Amory Lorch]].
[[File:Valar Morghulis by Tim Tsang II.jpg|thumb|400px|Arya kills the [[Harrenhal]] guard and whispers ''[[valar morghulis]]'' - by Tim Tsang ©]]
Jaqen comes to her at night and offers her three murders for the three lives she saved. After several days Arya names [[Chiswyck]], after she overhears him boast at how he participated in a gang rape. He dies three days later. Next she names [[Weese]], for striking her. Weese's death is untraceable, apparently linked to his small dog that he raised from a pup. Whilst trying to figure out the last name to say, she realises she should have said a more important name, such as Tywin or Amory Lorch. A bit regretful, she thinks hard about how to make the last name count. Finally, she names Jaqen himself. To make her unsay his name, Jaqen helps her free the Northmen in the dungeon and stage an uprising. Afterwards, to Arya's amazement, Jaqen changes his face and manner in front of her, saying it was time for that person to die. He gives Arya an iron coin so she can find him again and leaves. The next morning, Lord [[Roose Bolton]] arrives to take charge of the castle. Arya, now calling herself ''Nymeria'', or ''Nan'' for short, is made one of Roose's cup-bearers for her role in the freeing of the prisoners. She inadvertently meets [[Elmar Frey|the squire]] she would have to marry under Robb's agreement with the Freys, though they remain unknown to each other.{{Ref|aCoK|47}}

She realizes she has been treated quite well under Roose and wishes to leave with him in an effort to get back to Winterfell and her family. She speaks out of turn to ask him what will happen to her. He treats her unkindly, so she keeps to herself until he goes. After Harrenhal is left to [[Vargo Hoat]], Arya escapes with [[Gendry]] and [[Hot Pie]], killing a gate guard.{{Ref|aCoK|64}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:Mathia Arkoniel thetickler arya sandor.jpg|Arya stabs the Tickler over and over again in a rage until [[The Hound]] stops her - by Mathia Arkoniel|left|thumb|300px]]
While Arya and her companions are making their way north, Arya wargs into Nymeria during a dream and sees Nymeria kill the members of the [[Brave Companions]] that were sent after them.{{Ref|aSoS|3}} Not long afterwards, she and her companions are discovered by a group of the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]] and taken to [[Inn of the Kneeling Man]], where she meets one of her father's former guards, [[Harwin]], who recognizes her as Arya Stark.{{Ref|aSoS|13}} Arya travels with the group to their hideout. At the Brotherhood's camp Arya encounters the recently captured [[Sandor Clegane]] standing for trial. She accuses him of murdering [[Mycah]], earning him a [[trial by combat]]. He survives and so is set free.{{Ref|aSoS|34}}

Disappointed with the Brotherhood and feeling alone in the world after [[Hot Pie]] and Gendry go their separate ways, Arya attempts to flee and ends up being captured by [[Sandor Clegane]], who was trailing the group.{{Ref|aSoS|43}} Sandor takes her to the [[Twins]], where he plans to return her to her brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]] and win a place in his service.{{Ref|aSoS|47}} They reach the [[Twins]] just as the slaughter of the [[Red Wedding]] begins. The Hound has to prevent Arya from running into the castle (and certain death) by knocking her out with the flat of his axe.{{Ref|aSoS|52}}

Sandor decides that the only place left to take her is to the [[Vale of Arryn]], which is ruled by Arya's aunt, [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa]]. On the way east, Arya finds a saddled horse. She takes him as her mount and names him [[Craven (horse)|Craven]]. However, it is soon discovered they cannot reach the [[Eyrie]], and they are forced to head back towards [[Riverrun]] to ransom her to Ser [[Brynden Tully]] instead.{{Ref|aSoS|65}}

On their way they stop at an inn where they meet the [[Tickler]] and [[Polliver]], two of the men on Arya's death list, as well as a young squire. The Hound gets drunk and a fight ensues. Arya manages to stab the squire in the belly while The Hound kills Polliver, though he is badly wounded in the fight. As the Tickler closes in on Sandor, Arya is able to sneak behind him and stab him. She continues to stab him while savagely echoing the questions he asked of his victims on their journey to Harrenhal. After, Sandor directs her to finish off the squire, who is dying of his wound. Arya reclaims [[Needle]] from Polliver's corpse and stabs the squire in the heart.

Arya and Sandor head towards the town of [[Saltpans]], but Sandor is too weak to continue and falls from his horse. Arya draws Needle, intending to kill him, but decides to leave him to die instead of administering the mercy of a quick death. She sells [[Craven (horse)|Craven]] at Saltpans and gains passage on the ''[[Titan's Daughter]]'', a ship headed to [[Braavos]], by using the coin that [[Jaqen H'ghar]] had given her, along with the [[Valyria]]n phrase "''[[Valar Morghulis]]''."{{Ref|aSoS|74}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
[[File: Marc_Simonetti_HouseofB&W.jpg|Arya in the [[House of Black and White]] - by Marc Simonetti ©|thumb|300px]]
During the voyage to [[Braavos]] on the ''[[Titan's Daughter]]'' Arya uses the name ''Salty''. Many of the sailors and even Captain [[Ternesio Terys]] ask her to learn and remember their names. Many seem afraid of her. The captain has his older son [[Yorko Terys|Yorko]] row Arya to shore so as to get her off the ship prior to customs coming aboard.{{ref|affc|6}}

In [[Braavos]], Arya Stark finds her way to the [[House of Black and White]], where a [[Kindly Man|kindly old man]] initiates her into the guild of the [[Faceless Men]].{{Ref|aFfC|6}} She is required to discard her old personality, including her belongings, to begin the training. She does this, except for [[Needle]], which she hides in a safe location. {{Ref|aFfC|22}}

Arya's training requires her to go out into the city under the identity of ''Cat of the Canals'', a street urchin, learn secrets, and report what she has learned to the Kindly Man. She also begins learning the [[Braavos]]i language and the art of lying from the [[Waif]]. During this time, she kills a deserter from the [[Night's Watch]] named [[Dareon]] and briefly meets [[Samwell Tarly]], though they do not introduce themselves to each other. Months after these incidents, she accepts milk meant for "Arya". When she wakes the next morning, she is blind.{{Ref|aFfC|34}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[File:Thaldir the Blind Girl.jpg|A blinded Arya in the service of the [[House of Black and White]] in [[Braavos]] - art by Tiziano Baracchi. © Fantasy Flight Games|thumb|right|300px]]

Arya remains blind and in the service of the [[House of Black and White]] in [[Braavos]]. The blindness is induced by the milk she drinks every night. She continues to dream through the eyes of her [[direwolf]], [[Nymeria]], but speaks of it to no one. She still struggles with leaving her identity as Arya Stark behind. While she is blind, Arya wears the guise of ''Beth'', a beggar girl. She wanders the streets of Braavos, begging for money and listening for bits and pieces of information. She becomes better at lying and detecting the lies of others.

Arya receives her sight again after she is able to identify the [[Kindly Man]] and hit him with a stick when he sneaks up on her. It is implied, however, that she does not simply sense his presence (as he assumes) but sees him through the eyes of a cat hiding in the rafters.

After regaining her sight,{{Ref|aDwD|45}} Arya is given her first assassination assignment. She is asked to give "the gift" to an old man who sells a type of insurance for ships. The Kindly Man takes her to the secret lower chambers of the House of Black and White, where thousands of faces are hung on the walls. She is given the face of an ugly, broken girl who had been beaten by her father and came to the House of Black and White to seek the gift. Arya watches her target carefully for days. She notices that the old man has guards with him wherever he goes, and always tests the coin he is given with his teeth. While watching him, she attempts to find ways to justify his fate, but the Kindly Man tells her it is not for her to judge the old man.

In the end, she feigns stealing a bag of coins from a captain on his way to meet with the old man. She splits the bag in the attempt, and switches one of the captain's coins with one of her own, coated in poison. After the switch, she escapes. Later, the old man's heart mysteriously gives out.

The Kindly Man then gives Arya an acolyte's robe and assigns her to begin her first apprenticeship with [[Izembaro]].{{Ref|aDwD|64}}

===''The Winds of Winter''===
Arya, now known as "Mercedene" or "Mercy" for short, is now a mummer at a playhouse called the [[Gate]], owned by Izembaro. She is still experiencing wolf dreams, the latest with a tree watching her.

When [[Harys Swyft| Ser Harys Swyft]] arrives in Braavos on a mission to negotiate with the [[Iron Bank of Braavos]] the mummers of the Gate put on [[The Bloody Hand]], a play presumably about [[Tyrion Lannister]]'s tenure as Hand of the King to Joffrey. Arya plays a maid who is raped by Tyrion, played by a dwarf named [[Bobono]], presumably [[Shae]].

However, as the play is about to begin, she notices two of Swyft's guards talking. One of them is [[Rafford | Raff the Sweetling]]. She seduces him and takes him to her room. She tires him out by running there, and thus she is able to stab him in his thigh, rendering him unable to walk. He says that she will have to carry him to a healer, but she says: "Think so?" and stabs him in the throat, just as he did to the disabled Lommy Greenhands. She throws his corpse in a canal and heads back to the Gate before she is due to come on stage. {{Ref|twow|Mercy}

==Arya and Death==
[[File:Arya tickler by tribemun.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The Tickler's death by [http://www.nickalcorn.com/ Nick Alcorn©]]]

During her journey, Arya is subjected to many hard situations in the war-torn [[Riverlands]]. Her fiery personality prompts her to take the initiative and fight back, and so she is led to kill and ultimately wishes to murder specific characters herself. This course of action is supposed to end as of ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'' with her being an assassin trainee in [[Braavos]], as the leader stresses becoming indifferent to death and killing. She continues, however, to repeat to herself the names of the people she wishes dead. Some names are added as she goes, and others are dropped when the character dies or becomes closer to her. She calls it a prayer, and ends it with the words ''[[Valar Morghulis]]''. The names are:

;Dead
*King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]. Posioned by [[Olenna Tyrell]].
*[[Amory Lorch|Ser Amory]]. Eaten by [[Vargo Hoat]]'s bear.
*The [[Tickler]]. Arya killed him herself at the [[Crossroads Inn]].
*[[Polliver]]. Killed by [[Sandor Clegane|The Hound]] at the Crossroads Inn.
*[[Gregor Clegane|Ser Gregor]]. Died in extreme pain due to the thickened manticore venom that coated [[Oberyn Martell|Prince Oberyn]]'s spear.
*[[Rafford|Raff the Sweetling]]. Killed by Arya under her guise of "Mercy" at the [[Gate]], a mummers playhall in [[Braavos]].

;Alive
*[[Ilyn Payne]]
*[[Meryn Trant]]
*[[Cersei Lannister|Queen Cersei]]
*[[Dunsen]]

;Removed
*[[Sandor Clegane|The Hound]]

Arya stated she would have added the [[House Frey|Freys]] to the list after the [[Red Wedding]] but she did not know the names of those responsible for her brother's death.

She also killed a number of people who were not on her list herself:
*a King's Landing stableboy
*several soldiers of [[Amory Lorch]]
*[[Chiswyck]]
*[[Weese]]
*a [[House Bolton|Bolton]] guard at Harrenhal
*a [[House Sarsfield|Sarsfield]] squire
*[[Dareon]]
*a [[Braavosi]] insurance salesman {{Ref|aDwD|64}}

She also initiated and, along with [[Jaqen H'ghar]], [[Rorge]], and [[Biter]], took part in the killing of eight [[Harrenhal]] jailors, an event that would be remembered as the "weasel soup," from the nickname she used at the time.{{Ref|aCoK|47}}

Band of Nine

2014-03-01T16:15:41Z

ASHaber: /* History */

The '''Band of Nine''', also known as the '''Ninepenny Kings''', was a group of merchants, [[mercenaries]] and [[pirates]] from the [[Free Cities]] who banded together to carve out kingdoms for themselves. This group was the cause of the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]].

==History==
According to semi-canon sources, the Band of Nine began their conquests by overruning the [[Disputed Lands]] and sacking [[Tyrosh]]. There, they set up [[Alequo Adarys]] as a tyrant. They then marched on the [[Stepstones]], conquering them with ease. From the Stepstones, [[Maelys Blackfyre]], captain of the [[Golden Company]] and the last [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyre Pretender]], began his attempt to conquer the Seven Kingdoms.

The [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]] responded quickly, sending their own force to the Stepstones. There, in what became known as the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]], Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] killed Maelys. Soon after the Band of Nine lost the Stepstones and the Disputed Lands, but Alequo managed to remain in power for another six years.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones (game)|A Game of Thrones RPG and Resource Book]], Guardians of Order</ref> Other member of the Band of Nine were the [[Ebon Prince]] and [[Samarro Saan]].

List of tourneys in Westeros

[[File:Knight of the Flowers HBO.jpg|thumb|400px|Knight of the Flowers at the [[History of_Tourneys in_Westeros#The Hand's tourney|Hand's tourney]] ([[Game_of_Thrones|TV Series]])]]
This article lists the history of known tournaments in Westeros. See [[Tourneys in Westeros]] to learn about the tournaments themselves.

The ordering below is roughly chronological. The dates are given in years after Aegon's Landing (AL).

=== Great Tourney on the fifth anniversary of King Viserys I and Queen Alicent ===
Date {{date|111}}

A great tourney was held at [[King’s Landing]] on the fifth anniversary of the king [[Viserys I]] and Queen [[Alicent Hightower|Alicent]]. At the opening feast, the queen wore a green gown, whilst the [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Princess Rhaenyra]] dressed dramatically in [[Targaryen]] red and black. Note was taken, and thereafter it became the custom to refer to “[[The Greens|greens]]” and “[[The Blacks|blacks]]” when talking of the queen’s party and the party of the princess, respectively. In the tourney itself, the blacks had much the better of it when Ser [[Criston Cole]], wearing Princess Rhaenyra’s favor, unhorsed all of the queen’s champions, including two of her cousins and her youngest brother, [[Gwayne Hightower|Ser Gwayne Hightower]]. <ref>[[The Princess and the Queen]]</ref>

===Unnamed tourney===
* [[Aemon the Dragonknight]] won as a [[mystery knight]] so he could name his sister [[Naerys Targaryen|Naerys]] the [[Queen of Love and Beauty]], instead of King [[Aegon IV]]'s mistress.{{Ref|aSoS|24}}

===Tourney at [[Lannisport]]===

===Tourney at King's Landing===
''Date'': {{Date|206}}

Reigniting the age-old feud between houses [[House Blackwood|Blackwood]] and [[House Bracken|Bracken]], Ser Otho "the Brute of Bracken" slew Lord Blackwood at this tourney, smashing his helm and face with a blow from a blunted longaxe.
* [[Otho Bracken]] defeated [[Quentyn Blackwood]], killing him in the process

* Humfrey Hardyng defeated Lord Arryn

===Ashford tourney===
''Date'': {{Date|209}}, {{Main|Tourney of Ashford}}

The [[Ashford]] tourney provides the setting for [[The Hedge Knight]] and is presented in great detail in the short story, as well as in a graphic novel adaptation. The tournament was arranged by Lord Ashford in honour of his daughter, who reigned as Queen of Love and Beauty and was defended by five champions. The outcome of the tournament is unknown to us, and the event itself came to be overshadowed by the [[Trial of Seven]] that developed out of a confrontation between [[Duncan the Tall]] and [[Aerion Targaryen | Prince Aerion Brightflame]], resulting in the death of crown prince [[Baelor Breakspear]].

* [[Tybolt Lannister]] defeated [[Androw Ashford]] (6 tilts)
* [[Lyonel Baratheon ]] defeated [[Robert Ashford]] (10 tilts)
* [[Leo Tyrell (Longthorn)|Leo Tyrell]] defeated Lord [[Damon Lannister]] (3 tilts)

* Humfrey Hardyng defeated [[Humfrey Beesbury]] (13 tilts)
* Humfrey Hardyng defeated [[Aerion Targaryen]] (by forfeit)

===Whitewalls Tourney===
''Date'': {{Date|212}}

The tourney at [[Whitewalls]] provides the setting for ''[[The Mystery Knight]]'' and the second Blackfyre rebellion. It was arranged by Lord [[Ambrose Butterwell]] to celebrate his second marriage, to a daughter of [[House Frey]]. The format was a standard knock-out tournament; only few outcomes are known to us, and the tourney was aborted prematurely when an army led by [[Bloodraven]] attacked Whitewalls. Two knights entered the lists under false names: Duncan the Tall as the mystery “Gallows Knight,” Daemon II Blackfyre as “John the Fiddler.”

* [[Franklyn Frey]] defeated [[Harbert Paege]] (5 tilts)

*[[Glendon Flowers]] defeated [[Daemon II Blackfyre]] (1 tilt)

===Tourney at [[Blackhaven]]===
''Date'': {{Date|248}}

This tournament is notable as the first appearance of [[Barristan Selmy|Barristan Selmy]]. Selmy, then a squire of ten years, acquired a suit of armor and entered the lists as a mystery knight. He jousted well until being defeated by [[Duncan Targaryen]] and unmasked. He was dubbed Barristan the Bold for his deeds that day.
* Prince [[Duncan Targaryen]] defeated Barristan Selmy (mystery knight)

===Winter Tourney at [[King's Landing]]===
''Date'': {{Date|254}}

King [[Aegon V]] knighted the 16-year old [[Barristan Selmy]] for his great acts of prowess at this event.
* Barristan Selmy defeated [[Duncan the Tall]]
* Barristan Selmy defeated Prince [[Duncan Targaryen]]

===Tourney at Silver Bridge===
Only Ser Barristan's entry in the White Book tells of this tourney. He defended the passage against all comers.

''Champion'': [[Barristan Selmy]]

===Tourney at [[Maidenpool]]===
''Champion'': [[Barristan Selmy]]

===Oldtown tourney===
* Barristan Selmy defeated [[Blackshield]], unmasking the mystery knight and revealing him to be the Bastard of [[Uplands]]

===Tourney at [[Lannisport]]===
''Date'': {{Date|276}}

* [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] defeated two of [[Cersei Lannister]]'s uncles and about a dozen of [[Tywin Lannister]]'s jousters.

===Melee at ???===
''Date'': {{Date|279}}

This may have been a squires-only melee.

* Champion: [[Jaime Lannister]]

===Tourney at [[Storm's End]]===
''Date'':: {{Date|277}} and {{Date|280}}

The information about this tourney is problematic because some details in ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'' conflict. The author has confirmed that the outlaw [[Simon Toyne]] did not attend this tourney, he was dead at that time and the elderly Ser Barristan misremembered.

''Champion:'' [[Barristan Selmy]] {{Ref|asos|42|p 485}}
* [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] defeated [[Oberyn Martell]]
* Rhaegar Targaryen defeated [[Arthur Dayne]] broke 12 lances (13 tilts){{Ref|asos|42|p 485}}

* Rhaegar Targaryen defeated [[Jason Mallister]]
* [[Barristan Selmy]] defeated [[Robert Baratheon]]
* Barristan Selmy defeated [[Oberyn Martell]]
* Barristan Selmy defeated [[Leyton Hightower]]
* Barristan Selmy defeated [[Jon Connington]]
* Barristan Selmy defeated Rhaegar Targaryen

===The Great [[Harrenhal]] tourney===
''Date'': {{Date|281}}, {{Main|Tourney at Harrenhal}}

Possibly the most pivotal event prior to ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', this tourney took place more than a decade before the events in ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'', and only few details have been disclosed so far. The tourney was held by Lord Whent in honor of his daughter and to show off his house's power; it was the greatest tourney of its time and perhaps ever. Crown Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] was champion, and in the end chose [[Lyanna Stark]] as [[Queen of Love and Beauty]]. This was scandalous in that, not only was Rhaegar already married (to [[Elia Martell]]), but Lyanna herself was betrothed to [[Robert Baratheon]]. Rhaegar's indiscretion culminated in his abduction of Lyanna a year later, which touched off the [[Robert's Rebellion|War of the Usurper]] and brought an end to Targaryen rule. Also at this occasion, 15-year-old [[Jaime Lannister]] was admitted into the order of the [[Kingsguard]], and a mystery knight, the "[[Knight of the Laughing Tree]]", appeared in the lists to fight for the honour of [[Howland Reed]] of [[Greywater Watch]].

''Champion'': [[Rhaegar Targaryen]].
* Unknown jousters defeated the 4 sons of Lord Whent of Harrenhal
* The Knight of the Laughing Tree defeated a member of House Haigh
* The Knight of the Laughing Tree defeated a member of House Blount
* The Knight of the Laughing Tree defeated a member of House Frey
* Rhaegar Targaryen defeated [[Yohn Royce]]
* Rhaegar Targaryen defeated [[Brandon Stark]]
* Rhaegar Targaryen defeated [[Arthur Dayne]]
* Rhaegar Targaryen defeated [[Barristan Selmy]]
''Other participants'': [[Gerold Hightower]], [[Oswell Whent]], [[Robert Baratheon]], and [[Richard Lonmouth]].

===King Robert's wedding===
''Date'': {{Date|284}}

A tourney was held in celebration of King [[Robert Baratheon]]'s marriage to [[Cersei Lannister |Cersei of House Lannister]].

''Champion'': [[Jaime Lannister]]

===Unnamed tourney===
''Date'': Between 285 and 290 AL
* [[Oberyn Martell]] defeated [[Willas Tyrell]] (who was left crippled)

===Tourney in celebration of Balon Greyjoy's defeat===

''Date'': {{Date|289}}, {{Main|Tourney at Lannisport}}

After King Robert's forces defeated the rebel [[Balon Greyjoy]], a tourney was arranged in celebration at nearby [[Lannisport]]. [[Jorah Mormont]], recently knighted for his valorous acts in the final battle at [[Pyke]], won the tournament and with it the hand of [[Lynesse Hightower]], whose favor he wore.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 12|Chapter 12]], Daenerys</ref>

''Champion'': [[Jorah Mormont]]

* Jorah Mormont defeated [[Jason Mallister]]
* Jorah Mormont defeated [[Yohn Royce]]
* Jorah Mormont defeated [[Ryman Frey]]
* Jorah Mormont defeated [[Hosteen Frey]]

Maesters

2014-01-26T23:56:47Z

ASHaber: /* Acolytes and Novices */

[[File:Maester link by timdurning.jpg|thumb|350px|Maester links, Art by Tim Durning ©]]
[[File:Maester Duity.jpg|thumb|350px|Maester duty to the realm]]

The '''maesters''' are an order of scholars, healers, postmen, and scientists who are trained at a school called the [[Citadel]]. [[House Hightower]] was integral in the Citadel's foundation, and continues to patronize the order. As advisers to the Westerosi nobility, the maesters have largely supplanted the [[Alchemists' Guild]]. They are sometimes called "the knights of the mind."

== The Citadel ==

The [[Citadel]] is an impressive structure in the city of [[Oldtown]], and is considered the home of all maesters. Here they undergo all of their training from the time they arrive as novices until they have achieved the status of maester. At the entrance of the Citadel are green marble sphinxes.

== Organization ==

The maesters are scholars, scientists, learned advisors to the nobility, and occasionally pseudo-religious researchers in the occult. Males of any age may begin training as a maester; females are not permitted to study or join the order. Noble families in [[Westeros]] sometimes send their younger sons to the Citadel. A [[bastard]] may study at the Citadel and become a maester. The maesters, like the brothers of the [[Night's Watch]], are considered to be servants of Westeros and all its people and in theory have no political allegiance. After finishing his course of study, a maester is assigned to a castle, keep or other holding, and is loyal to the people of that place as a mentor, healer and adviser, regardless of changes in control of that holding. To this end a man who earns his chain is stripped of his family name and from that time on is known only by his title and first name. In practice some maesters hold over old allegiances and loyalties.

=== Grand Maester ===

The Grand Maester is considered the senior member of the Order and serves as its representative to the King. He can only be made or unmade by the Conclave.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 12|Chapter 12]], Tyrion</ref> He sits on the [[Small council]] and acts as the King's adviser. The Grand Maester wears many interwoven maester chains to indicate his high office, but these do not reflect his true studies. Gems are woven into the chains.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]]</ref>

[[Pycelle]] has served in the office for over forty years, though his loyalties lie with [[House Lannister]] rather than the realm. His advanced age has slowed him down, and he often dozes off during [[small council]] meetings. He was thrown in the dungeons of the [[Red Keep]] by [[Tyrion Lannister]], but [[Tywin Lannister]] recalled him to his duties when it appeared the Citadel was going to replace him with [[Gormon Tyrell|Maester Gormon]], formerly of [[House Tyrell]]. After his imprisonment Cersei perceives him as a broken man, but in spite of his past failings in court intrigue, Pycelle successfully seizes control of King [[Tommen I]] and the council after Cersei's arrest by the [[High Sparrow]], offering [[Kevan Lannister]] the regency. As they attempt to fix Cersei's follies, Pycelle and Kevan are both assassinated by [[Varys]], the former [[Master of Whisperers]].

=== Archmaester ===

The perceived "master" of any area of study is given a mask, ring or rod and the title Archmaester in the corresponding metal to signify his expertise. For example, an archmaester who specializes in ravenry will have a mask, ring or rod made of black iron. Archmaesters are the senior members of the Order and are given the right to sit on the Conclave. The Conclave is the governing body of the Citadel and is the same body that elects the Grand Maester. All the meetings of the Conclave are confidential in nature and conducted behind closed doors at the Citadel only.{{ref|asos|12}}

Marwyn the Mage is the order's leading researcher into the occult and [[magic]]. For his strange pursuits and gruff manner he is ostracized by others in the Citadel.

=== Seneschal ===

The Seneschal is chosen from among the archmaesters by lot. A new one is chosen each year. The Seneschal is tasked with the governance of the Citadel. Most archmaesters consider it a thankless task that takes them away from their true calling.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Samwell</ref>

== Traditions and Culture ==
[[File:Maester Oath.jpg|thumb|350px|Maester taking the oath]]
[[File:Mike Capprotti the chain.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Forging the chain - by Mike Capprotti. © Fantasy Flight Games]]
Maesters begin their training as novices in the Citadel. Once they begin their study and have been seen as proficient in a particular course of study they are tested and awarded a link of a certain metal to reflect their skill and knowledge. A student with a link is known as an acolyte until he has a full chain; it is not until he has completed extensive study in various subjects and has earned enough links to form a chain (to be worn around the neck) that he is considered worthy of advancement to the title of Maester, no longer a student but a peer. The night before the acolytes swear their vows to become maesters, they must stand a vigil in a vault with a black [[Glass candle]]. He is allowed no lantern or any other source of light. Unless he can light the candle, he will spend the night in total darkness.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Prologue|Prologue]]</ref> There have been whispers that the maesters have held much more power and sway than they are ready to admit. Archmaester [[Marwyn]] suspects that they had a role in the demise of [[House Targaryen]]'s [[Dragon]]s. Some consider most maesters to be categorically opposed to magic and its influence on [[Westeros]].

=== The collar ===
[[File:Maester iron link by timdurning.jpg|thumb|350px|Iron link for studies in the field of warcraft. Art by Tim Durning ©]]
[[File:Kerry Barnett Linked Advisor.JPG|thumb|350px|A maester advises his lord. © FFG]]
The collar signifies that maesters do not serve themselves, but are instead servants of all of Westeros. The collar consists of several links of different types of metal. These chains are formed from every metal known to man, but almost no maester will ever wear them all. Maesters do not remove the chain ever, not even when sleeping.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 41|Chapter 41]], Jon</ref>

According to semi-canon sources, it is possible to earn multiple links of the same metal.<ref>Dragon Limbs and Gender, Valyrian Weapons and Maesters' Chains. (April 16, 2008) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Dragon_Limbs_and_Gender_Valyrain_Weapons_and_Maesters_Chains/ So Spake Martin]</ref>

These metals include:
*Black iron (Ravenry)
*Brass
*Bronze ([[Astronomy]])
*Copper (History)
*Electrum
*Yellow Gold (Economics)
*Iron (Warcraft)
*Lead
*Pale steel (Smithing)
*Pewter
*Platinum
*Red gold
*Silver ([[Medicine]] and healing)
*Steel
*Tin
*[[Valyrian steel]] (Magic and the occult) - Only one in one hundred holds a link of Valyrian steel; the study of magic is looked down upon by most Maesters.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Bran</ref>

=== Practices and observances ===

[[File:Maester studies.jpg|thumb|350px|Maester studies]]
Maesters chiefly communicate through messenger ravens. These ravens are trained specifically for one route; for example, for a message that must be sent to [[Castle Black]], the maester uses the raven from the Castle Black cage. One of the typical duties of a maester is care of a keep's ravens. A special breed of [[White Ravens|white ravens]] that are larger and more intelligent than average are maintained at the Citadel for important communications. Maesters also constantly monitor the seasons. When the seasons are about to change, they send white ravens to spread the announcement throughout the realm.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Prologue|Prologue]]</ref> Maesters who are skilled in astronomy often watch the skies and study constellations. When the red comet appeared during the events of the [[War of the Five Kings]], the maesters were among the first to notice.

Gate of the Gods

The '''Gate of the Gods''' is one of the seven huge gates that surround the huge walls of [[King's Landing]]. There are detailed carvings on the gatehouse and over the portcullis with eyes that seem to follow you as you enter the gates. The gatehouse has a windowless guard room. It is at the western corner of the wall. The [[Kingsroad]] enters King's Landing from the North at the Gate of the Gods.

==Recent Events==
===''A Feast for Crows''===
The procession returning [[Tywin Lannister]]'s body to [[Casterly Rock]] leaves King's Landing through the Gate of the Gods. [[Jaime Lannister]] feels it would have been more fitting and appropriate if they left via the [[Lion Gate]] instead.

There are two sets of barracks for the City Watch, the East Barracks by the [[Dragon Gate]] and the West Barracks near [[Cobbler's Square]].

==Equipment==
The City Watch wear cloaks, usually made of heavy wool, dyed gold. Their ringmail, boots, and gloves are black.{{Ref|aGoT|65}} The officers (such as the captains of the gates into the city) wear black breastplates ornamented with four golden disks.{{Ref|aCoK|17}} They can be used as guards, foot soldiers or in some cases, as mounted lancers.{{Ref|aCoK|41}} Nonetheless, the watchmen are not true soldiers, and their discipline in a pitched battle shows this fact.

The gold cloaks use iron cudgels and spears topped by black iron heads.

==History==
The City Watch was established under the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen Dynasty]]. When the Targaryens were [[Robert's Rebellion|overthrown]], King [[Robert Baratheon]] continued their presence.

Commander [[Janos Slynt]] was a corrupt man who embezzled money from his men, but Robert deigned to keep him on lest his successor be worse. After Robert's death, Slynt accepted a bribe from [[Petyr Baelish]] to support [[Cersei Lannister|Queen Cersei]] in a power struggle against the [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Eddard Stark]], which was ultimately successful. He was rewarded with lordship, but was exiled to [[the Wall]] by the next Hand, [[Tyrion Lannister]] for his corruption and next potential betrayal.

His replacement was Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]], an honorable veteran of [[Greyjoy Rebellion|Greyjoy's Rebellion]], who helped Tyrion prepare the city's defenses in the face of impending invasion by [[Stannis Baratheon]]. Towards the end of his term, Slynt had tripled the number of the gold cloaks, making them 6,000 strong.{{Ref|ACOK|41}} Despite this, the new watchmen were poorly trained, and many were drunks, brutes, or cravens who had joined on for the promise of bread. Also, as Kingslanders, few had love for [[House Lannister]]. When Stannis finally arrived and the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] began, the Watch constituted the bulk of the defending force. When King [[Joffrey]] withdrew from the walls, the men broke. Commander Bywater attempted to rally them, but was killed by his own men on the cusp of success.

[[File:goldcloaks.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Goldcloaks in the TV series]]
After figuring casualties and desertions, the number of men available was down to 4,400.{{Ref|ASOS|4}} Command then fell to Ser [[Addam Marbrand]], Lord [[Tywin Lannister]]'s daring cavalry captain. Despite problems with paying the men, Commander Marbrand is forbidden by Queen Cersei from dismissing any from service. Tywin orders Marbrand to break the knees of those who deserted in the battle. Ser Addam is relieved to leave his troubling duties to join [[Jaime Lannister]] in a mopping-up campaign in the [[Riverlands]]. In his place Cersei appoints the illiterate, craven hedge knight [[Osfryd Kettleblack]], who is later removed by the [[small council]] after Cersei's arrest by the [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]]. In his place they promote [[Humfrey Waters]] to lead the gold cloaks.

==References in A Song of Ice and Fire==
*During the [[Tourney of the Hand]], the gold cloaks are hard pressed to keep the king's peace. Lord Eddard Stark commands Petyr Baelish to find funds to hire more watchmen, and lends 20 of his own [[Winterfell]] guardsmen to help for the tourney's duration.
*When Eddard confronts Queen Cersei, Janos Slynt and 100 gold cloaks accompany and betray him.
*After being dismissed from the [[Kingsguard]], Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] kills the gold cloaks that Janos Slynt sends to arrest him.
*On Cersei's orders, Slynt sends his right hand man, [[Allar Deem]], to murder [[Barra]], Robert's infant bastard daughter.
*Five Gold Cloaks come upon [[Yoren]]'s band of [[Night's Watch]] recruits with the intent of seizing [[Gendry Waters|Gendry]], another royal bastard, but are driven away.
* Along with 40 knights and squires including [[Hobber Redwyne]], 300 gold cloaks escort Petyr Baelish to [[Bitterbridge]] on his mission to treat with the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]].
*During the [[Riot of King's Landing]], Ser Jacelyn and a wedge of mounted lancers charge down the streets in an effort to defend the royal party, while numerous others form lines of spears before the smallfolk. In total, nine gold cloaks are slain and 40 wounded.
*Tyrion sends Jacelyn Bywater to take [[Tommen Baratheon|Prince Tommen]] into custody at [[Rosby]], confronting his sworn shield [[Boros Blount]] without bloodshed and seizing [[Rosby]] castle to hold him there.
*When being brought to his trial, Tyrion is escorted by Addam Marbrand and six watchmen rather than the Kingsguard, most of whom had testified against him. A hundred gold cloaks stand guard in the throne room.
*Hand of the King [[Mace Tyrell]] adds a hundred [[Reach|Reachmen]] to the City Watch.

Caltrops

2013-12-24T10:23:54Z

ASHaber:

The '''Caltrops''' were thirteen nobles from [[the Reach]] who plotted to kill the [[Two Betrayers]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. They were called the Caltrops after the inn in [[Tumbleton]], the [[Bloody Caltrops]], where they met to conspire.<ref name="PQ">''[[The Princess and the Queen]]''</ref>

==History==
In the [[Treasons of Tumbleton]], [[Ulf White]] and [[Hugh Hammer]] switched from [[the blacks]] to [[the greens]] and had the dragons [[Silverwing]] and [[Vermithor]] burn the town of [[Tumbleton]]. While the greens' commanders regrouped in Tumbleton and planned how to attack the black-held [[King's Landing]], the two baseborn dragonriders proved difficult to deal with. Ulf desired [[Highgarden]], while Hugh had designs on claiming the [[Iron Throne]]. Hugh wore a black iron crown, enraging Prince [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Viserys I)|Daeron Targaryen]]. Ser [[Roger Corne]] knocked the crown off, which led to Hugh nailing three horseshoes to Roger's skull. Corne's supporters tried to intervene, resulting in three dead and twelve wounded.

The enthusiastic Lord [[Unwin Peake]] and the somewhat reluctant [[Hobert Hightower]] gathered eleven other lords and landed knights to the cellar of a Tumbleton inn called the [[Bloody Caltrops]]. They debated over how and when to kill the Two Betrayers. The drunkard Ulf would be an easier target, but Hugh was protected by lackeys. After much deliberation, they determined to kill the dragonriders and claim their dragons while in Tumbleton. Prince Daeron was brought to the cellar by Lord [[Owen Fossoway]] and given warrants for the execution of the Two Betrayers by Lord Peake. Daeron eagerly affixed his seal.

The Caltrops planned their coup against Ulf and Hugh to occur two days later. However, the greens' army was awoken on that designated day by an attack by Ser [[Addam Velaryon]], beginning the [[Second Battle of Tumbleton]]. Ulf slept through the battle, but Hugh rushed to the stables so he could ride to Vermithor. However, Hugh was cut down there by Ser [[Jon Roxton]]. Despite wielding the blade [[Orphan-Maker]], Jon was then slain by Hugh's men. Eight of the Caltrops were dead by the end of Second Tumbleton, including Owen Fossoway, [[Marq Ambrose]], and Jon Roxton. [[Richard Rodden]] died from his wounds the following day, leaving only four plotters. However, these included the ringleaders, Unwin Peake and Hobert Hightower.

The next morning after the Second Battle of Tumbleton, Hobert Hightower met with Ulf to plan the attack on King's Landing and provided two casks of wine, [[Dorne|Dornish]] red and poisoned [[Arbor]] gold. Hobert expected to sip the red while Ulf drank the gold, but the dragonrider was suspicious of Hobert's behavior and asked for the red to be saved for later. Rather than give up the surviving Caltrops, Hobert decided to drink the poisoned gold with Ulf, which killed both of them. Following Ulf's death, Lord Peake failed to find a dragonrider for Silverwing and decided to lead the diminishing green army away from Tumbleton and back to the heart of the Reach.<ref name="PQ"/>

'''Ulf the White''', or '''Ulf the Sot''', was a man-at-arms on [[Dragonstone]] during the time of the [[Dance of the Dragons]].<ref>[[The Princess and the Queen]]</ref> He was likely one of the [[dragonseed]]s.

==Appearance & Character==
As his names conveyed, he was pale-haired and known for his drinking.

==History==
[[Jacaerys Velaryon]] called for dragonriders in {{Date|129}}. [[Silverwing]], the [[dragon]] of Good Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]], allowed Ulf to mount her.

Ulf fought valiantly in the [[Battle in the Gullet]] for [[The Blacks]]. He was knighted by [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and named Lord of Bitterbridge by [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Prince Daemon]].

Ulf, along with [[Hugh Hammer]], defected to [[The Greens]] at the Treasons of [[Tumbleton]]. Together they are known as the [[Two Betrayers]].

Ulf slept through the [[Second Battle of Tumbleton]] beneath a tavern table. After the battle he heard the other Betrayer had died, and Ulf made claim for the throne. He drank with [[Hobert Hightower]], and they both died from the poison in the [[wine]].

ASHaber: /* Double redirects */ new section

{{Welcome|MyUserName=Scafloc}}

== Households ==

Great idea adding in all of the major lords' households. I was trying to make myself get around to it, but you've beaten me there, haha. Thanks for the work. --[[User:Ser_Aeron_Connel|Ser_Aeron_Connel]] 01:52, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

On a little unrelated note, maybe it will be a good idea to adding Notable residents to various location entries as well --[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 02:28, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

== Mereen Coat Of Arms with [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] ==

Hi Gonzalo, there has been [[User_talk:Scafloc#Hizdahr zo Loraq coat of arms|a question]] from [[User:Rhaena Targaryen]] about the use of the Mereen coat of arms with [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]]. I think the reason is that he is a noble from Mereen and that it should not be taken as a confirmation that he is the Harpy. As you have added the Mereen coa with Hizdahr could you clarify this? Regards,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 17:27, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

== Robb Stark COA ==

Hi! I'm Rhaena, the admin of the wiki in spanish. I saw that you insert a COA for Robb Stark, different from that of House Stark. I've already ask to Evrach, the creator of this COA, and I'm waiting for the answer. There is a mention of a personal COA of Robb?? Thanks for your answer! Regards, --[[User:Rhaena Targaryen|Rhaena Targaryen]] 22:47, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

== Bolton words ==

Hi Gonzalo,

I've seen that you included the words of House Bolton back in 2012, but I haven't been able to see a source for them. Could you provide it, please? --[[User:The_hairy_bear|The hairy bear]] ([[User talk:The hairy bear|Send me a raven]]) 14:27, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

== Sunfyre ==

I hope I'm replying to you in the right place. Sunfyre is mentioned in The Princess and The Queen. You can remove it for now but you're just gonna end up putting it back come December.

Ah sorry, I'm new at this wiki thing. Anyway he's not mentioned in the excerpt but he's fairly prominent in the actual story. Along with Vhagar, Syrax, Caraxes, Meleys, Moondancer, Grey Ghost, The Cannibal and Sheep Stealer. If you don't believe me that's fine, just leave it off till December. I just figured I'd add the name of Aegon's dragon since he was listed, but nameless. --[[User:RumHam|RumHam]] 18:00, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

'''Viserys I''' was the King of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] and head of [[House Targaryen]]. He ruled from {{Date|103}} to {{Date|129}}. He succeeded his grandfather, [[Jaehaerys I]].

==Appearance==
According to a semi-canon source, Viserys was plump and pleasant. He sported a bushy, silver-gold mustache and wore the crown of his grandfather, Jaehaerys I.<ref>Targaryen Kings. (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref>

==History==
King Viserys I ruled well, and continued the prosperous peace left to him by his grandfather [[Jaehaerys I]]. In his court he had the dwarf jester [[Mushroom]]. He had three children by his first wife, who was a member of [[House Arryn]]. Two were sons who died in infancy and one was a daughter, Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], who lived until adulthood.<ref>Good Queen Alysanne and Rhaenyra. (June 18, 2006) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1604/ So Spake Martin]</ref> Lacking a son to succeed him, Viserys began to groom Princess Rhaenyra to be the ruling queen. He taught her how to rule and made her part of his [[small council]]. Later in life he married again, to [[Alicent Hightower]], and had several sons and a daughter,
[[Heleane Targaryen]] with her.<ref>Good Queen Alysanne and Rhaenyra. (June 18, 2006) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1604/ So Spake Martin]</ref> Rhaenyra remained his heir, however, a decision he left in his will.

After Viserys' death, the eldest son of his second wife, [[Aegon II]], was crowned by the Lord Commander of the [[Kingsguard]], [[Criston Cole]] and Queen Alicent. This led to a war between Rhaenyra and Aegon II, better known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]].

==Small Council under Viserys I==
During the reign of King Viserys his [[small council]] had the following members...

* [[Hand of the King]] - [[Otto Hightower]]

==Synopsis==
[[Davos Seaworth|Davos]] is held for 18 days in a large, airy, handsomely furnished chamber with guards at the door and a view of the city's streets and the harbor in the New Castle at [[White Harbor]]. The ''[[Merry Midwife]]'' left after four days.

Ser [[Marlon Manderly]] takes Davos to treats with Lord [[Wyman Manderly]] and his [[Merman's Court]]. Davos asks Lord Wyman to ally with King [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]].

He is resisted, however, by envoys of [[House Frey]] ([[Rhaegar Frey]], Ser [[Jared Frey]] and [[Symond Frey]]), who have come with the remains of one of Lord Wyman Manderly's sons, [[Wendel Manderly]].

A young girl, [[Wylla Manderly]], Lord Wyman’s granddaughter, vocally supports Stannis, and appears to sway the court. However, Lord Manderly calls for Davos’ head and has Davos dragged off to prison in the [[Wolf's Den]] as a traitor in the presence of the Freys.

==Background==
Lord [[Wyman Manderly]]'s son (and [[Leona Woolfield]]'s husband) [[Wylis Manderly]] is being held captive by the [[Lannister]]s. The Lord's other son, [[Wendel Manderly]], was killed at the [[Red Wedding]], but three Freys have returned his bones and attend Wyman's court.

Melessa known as the '''"Girl General"''' is a [[Yunkai]] noble. She rides white horse with red mane and commands a hundred young, strapping slave soldiers bred and trained by herself. All of them are lean, young, rippling with muscle and naked but for breechclouts, yellow cloaks, and long bronze shields with erotic inlays.

==Appearance==
She is short with a thick waist and heavy bosom. She wears a sculpted black steel breastplate inlaid with gold, showing a harpy rising with chains dangling from her claws.<ref>[[Tyrion X (A Dance with Dragons)|A Dance with Dragons, Tyrion X]]</ref>

[[File:Balerion.jpg|thumb|350px|Balerion in the [[War of Conquest]]]]
'''Balerion''', called the '''Black Dread''', was one of the three great [[dragons]] of [[Aegon the Conqueror]] and his sisters, that were used to conquer much of [[Westeros]] during the [[War of Conquest]]. Balerion died some time during the reign of King [[Jaehaerys I]], around two hundred years of age.{{Ref|aSoS|8}}

== Description ==
Balerion was the largest of all the Targaryen dragons, his teeth were as long as swords and his jaws big enough to swallow a mammoth whole.{{Ref|aGoT|13}} His fire was as black as his scales, his wingspan so vast that entire towns would fall under his shadow when he passed overhead.{{Ref|aCoK|12}}

==History==
Balerion was named after the ancient god of [[Valyria|Valyrian Freehold]].{{Ref|aCoK|12}} He was born in Valyria. Balerion was one of the five dragons [[Aenar Targaryen]] brought with him when he fled to [[Dragonstone]] to survive until the [[War of Conquest]].<ref>[http://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-full-story-of-targaryen-conquest-in.html?spref=tw&m=1]</ref>

He gained recognition as the 'Black Dread' during the [[War of Conquest]], when Aegon rode him to victory and conquered [[Westeros]]. He became notorious in the battle that became known as the [[Field of Fire]], the only time in history that all three of the fabled Targaryen dragons took to the sky at the same time. Between [[Vhaghar]], [[Meraxes]] and Balerion, four thousand men were burned to death. King [[Mern Gardener|Mern]] died, and with him [[House Gardener]]. The army was broken and Aegon I was victorious.{{Ref|aGoT|13}}

According to song, at the end of the war Balerion helped to forge the [[Iron Throne]] by melting the swords of Aegon's enemies.{{Ref|aGoT|43}}

There is a rather nice picture of Balerion the Black Dread done in coloured inks in the book ''[[Dragonkin, Being a History of House Targaryen from Exile to Apotheosis, with a Consideration of the Life and Death of Dragons]]'' written by Maester [[Thomax]]. {{Ref|aFfC|5}}

'''Meraxes''' was one of the great dragons used by [[Aegon I|Aegon the Conqueror]] and his sisters during the [[War of Conquest]]. The dragon was named for one of the old gods of [[Valyria]]. It was ridden by [[Rhaenys Targaryen]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 12|Chapter 12]], Daenerys</ref>

Its skull can be found within the Red Keep in [[King's Landing]]. It was larger than [[Vhaghar]] but smaller than [[Balerion]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 13|Chapter 13]], Tyrion</ref> Meraxes could swallow horses whole.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 12|Chapter 12]], Daenerys</ref>

==History==

Meraxes was named for a god of the [[Valyria|Valyrian Feehold]]. It was born from a dragon's egg on [[Dragonstone]].
During the battle that became known as the [[Field of Fire]], Meraxes, Balerion and Vhaghar took to the sky at the same time. Between the three they killed four thousand men, burning them alive. King [[Mern Gardener|Mern]] was killed, [[House Gardener]] dying with him. The army was broken and Aegon I was victorious.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 13|Chapter 13]], Tyrion</ref>

{{Template:See homonyms|Rhaenys Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

Queen '''Rhaenys Targaryen''' was the younger of [[Aegon I]]'s sister-queens. Rhaenys was Aegon's favourite sister-wife, though she may have dabbled with other bed-mates.

==Appearance & Character==
Rhaenys was a year or two younger than Aegon. She had the silver-gold Targaryen hair which she kept long and wore loose. Physically she was more slender and graceful than her sister. She was known as less stern and more playful and curious than her older sister.<ref>[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/More_Targaryen_Descriptions/ Archived compilation of emails on Westeros] of George R.R. Martin with description of Visenya, Aegon I and Rhaenys</ref> She was also interested in music and poetry.<ref>[http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/72313-reading-from-the-world-of-ice-and-fire/page__st__40]</ref>
She loved to ride her dragon [[Meraxes]] and spent twice as much time riding than her siblings. She surrounded herself with comely young men and there were whispers that she entertained men while Aegon was with Visenya - yet Aegon spent ten nights with Rhaenys for every one with Visenya. <ref>Chicon 7 Reading (September 02, 2012) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C92/ So Spake Martin]</ref>
==History==
===The Conquest===
: {{See also|War of Conquest}}
She participated in the [[War of Conquest]] by riding her dragon, [[Meraxes]], in battle. [[Rosby]] peacefully yielded to her.

Rhaenys and Meraxes accompanied the army of [[Orys Baratheon]] when they marched on the [[Stormlands]] and defeated
[[Argilac|Argilac the Arrogant]] in the [[Last Storm|Battle of the Last Storm]].

She along with her [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]] and [[Aegon I|Aegon]] secured the victory on the [[Field of Fire]] when all three [[dragons]] were unleashed together for the first and only time in the war.

After the [[Field of Fire]], [[Aegon I|Aegon]] went North to deal with the [[House Stark|Starks]]. Rhaenys led the invasion of [[Dorne]].

Rhaenys led her army into [[Dorne]]. However, the Dornish refused to give battle, instead melting away into the mountains and deserts, returning only to launch guerrilla raids on the army. Rhaenys captured holdfasts to no avail, as their people (learning of what happened to [[Harrenhal]]) had already fled, leaving only the elderly and infirm. Frustrated, Rhaenys flew directly to Sunspear to demand [[Mariya Martell|Princess Mariya's]] surrender. Mariya instead informed her that, "This is Dorne. You are not wanted here, return at your peril." Rhaenys replied that she would return with ''"Fire and blood"'', but Mariya simply replied, ''"Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken"''. The Targaryen army withdrew from Dorne, leaving the country untaken.

===Later Life===
She was the mother of [[Aenys I]], and other children it was her line of progeny that comprised the bulk of the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] dynasty. [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys Stormborn]] is the last of her descendants who still bears the Targaryen name, although her progeny are to be found among [[House Baratheon|Baratheons]] and [[House Martell|Martells]]. Her first born was a daughter who was married to [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor Targaryen]].

She and her dragon, Meraxes died in [[Dorne]].

== The crown of the crowned stag ==

Am I wrong in thinking that the crown on the stag was not always there? Were the Durrendonds crowned stags too, despite not being the kings?

The Durrendons were kings the Storm Kings. The crown was always there. The Baratheons took the arms of the Storm Kings.

The '''Siege of Winterfell''' is the name of an unresolved conflict (as of ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]''), in which King [[Stannis Baratheon]] is trying to retake [[Winterfell]] from Lord [[Roose Bolton]], the newly appointed [[Warden of the North]].

==Prelude==
After the [[retaking of Deepwood Motte]], the army of [[Stannis Baratheon]] marches south on [[Winterfell]] to free [[Arya Stark]] (actually [[Jeyne Poole]]) from the clutches of [[House Bolton]].

On the march through the [[Wolfswood]], Stannis's army is increased in size by Houses [[House Glover|Glover]], [[House Mormont|Mormont]] and finally [[House Karstark|Karstark]], led by castellan [[Arnolf Karstark]]. Unknown to Stannis, Arnolf is secretly working with House Bolton and during the final battle plans to turn his forces on Stannis.

Stannis also holds the support of the [[northern mountain clans]], who remain loyal to the memory of [[Ned Stark|"The Ned"]]. He is also planning to meet [[Mors Umber|Mors "Crowfood" Umber]] and a portion of [[House Umber]] closer to Winterfell.

Winterfell is held by Lord [[Roose Bolton]] and his bastard son, [[Ramsay Bolton|Ramsay]]. His force, aside from the strength of House Bolton, consists of a few thousand of Houses [[House Frey|Frey]], [[House Ryswell|Ryswell]], [[House Dustin|Dustin]], [[House Cerwyn|Cerwyn]], [[House Hornwood|Hornwood]], [[House Manderly|Manderly]] and the other half of [[House Umber]] under [[Hother Umber|Hother "Whoresbane" Umber]].

Although Roose has the larger host, the loyalties of his forces are highly questionable, particularly the Manderlys, Whoresbane Umber and the Hornwoods. Roose suspects that only the Freys and Dustins would be truly loyal to him if word got out that [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark]] were still alive.

Winterfell is overcrowded with forces and on edge due to a series of murders with no confirmed suspects.

=="Battle"==
===March on Winterfell===
[[Stannis Baratheon]] and his host's march on Winterfell is delayed by a severe blizzard and numerous men are lost to starvation or the cold.{{Ref|aDwD|37}}{{Ref|aDwD|42}} The last known report of Stannis's army's whereabouts is that he is three days from Winterfell.{{ref|ADWD|42|561}}{{ref|ADWD|51|677}}{{Ref|aDwD|62}}

===Mors Umber's vanguard arrives at Winterfell===
[[Mors Umber|Mors "Crowfood" Umber]] and his vanguard arrives at Winterfell before Stannis's main host.

Using the snowstorm as cover, Mors has his lads dig pit traps near several of the Winterfell gates. The heavy blizzard allows Mors's boys to do this without the castle sentries seeing them. Mors then has his men sound horns hoping to draw out several of the castle forces in the traps, but the castle garrison is put on alert and mans the walls of Winterfell.

===Attempt to engage Stannis's host===
After the murder of [[Walder Frey (Little)|Little Walder Frey]] and the near battle inside Winterfell between the [[House Frey|Freys]] and [[House Manderly|Manderlys]], [[Roose Bolton]], fearing another battle inside the castle between his own forces, sends out [[Hosteen Frey]] and [[Aenys Frey]] along with the 2,000 Freys to engage Stannis's host.

The Freys' presence increases tensions with the northerners as many had lost kin at the [[Red Wedding]]. Roose also sends out the forces of Lord [[Wyman Manderly]] as he does not trust the Manderly forces. By doing this Roose hopes that Stannis will be defeated without [[House Bolton|Bolton]] men suffering any casualties and if not, Roose hopes to weaken Stannis's forces in battle and in the process eliminate a potential future rival in Wyman Manderly. The absence of near 3,000 men in Winterfell also means that Roose also has an easier time managing food supplies to his forces.

The escape of [[Jeyne Poole|"Arya Stark"]], however, leaves Ramsay in the castle with only a small force to retrieve his bride.

===Command of the Freys passes to Ser Hosteen Frey===
[[Aenys Frey]] is killed when the Freys stumble into one of Mors Umber's pit traps near the Hunter's Gate, meaning that the command of the Freys passes to Ser [[Hosteen Frey]], who, while a capable swordsman, is not a clever commander.

===Stannis alerted to the planned treachery of Arnolf Karstark===
Thanks to a letter from [[Jon Snow]] delivered by [[Tycho Nestoris]], Stannis is made aware of the planned treachery of [[Arnolf Karstark]]. He has Arnolf and his son and grandsons arrested while disarming their forces.

Stannis prepares his host to met the Bolton vanguard in the village.

==Ramsay's Letter==

Timeline of major events

2013-08-16T21:11:52Z

ASHaber: /* King Robert's Reign */

The '''Timeline of major events''' attempts to lay out the most important points in the history of [[Westeros]] and [[Essos]], based on dates and information given in the novels and supporting material. See also: a thorough [[Years after Aegon's Landing|listing of events]] after Aegon's Landing.

According to tradition, the known history of Westeros extends back over 12,500 years. However, the oldest historic recounts in [[Westeros]] were only written after the [[Andal Invasion|Andals arrival]] to the continent, as the [[First Men]] only used runes for carving on stone. Everything written about the [[Age of Heroes]], the [[Dawn Age]], and the [[The Long Night|Long Night]] originates from stories written down by [[Faith of the Seven|septons]] thousands of years later. The accuracy of the legends and myths that recount much of this history is openly questioned by the [[maesters]] of the Citadel, amongst others.

All dates are in relation to the Landing of [[Aegon the Conqueror]], using negative numbers for events before [[Aegon's Landing]]. Note, that 'ca' is an abbreviation for the Latin word 'circa', meaning around, or approximately.

==[[Dawn Age|The Dawn Age]]==
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px|Prehistory
| '''Before the coming of men''': The lands of [[Westeros]] are inhabited by a mysterious race of diminutive humanoid creatures known as the [[children of the forest]], [[giants]] and other magical [[Beastiary|creatures]].
|-
| ca.-12,000
| '''The [[First Men]] invade Westeros''': A human ethnic group, the First Men, invades Westeros across the land-bridge from the [[Essos|east]], bearing weapons of bronze. In a futile attempt to end the invasion, the children use magic to shatter that land-bridge, creating the island chain known as the [[Stepstones]]. However, the First Men are able to reinforce by ship, leading to generations of warfare over the land.

The First men are more numerous, larger, stronger, and more technologically advanced than the children, who try to resist the invaders using their magic. It proves unsuccessful, however: the First Men gradually push deeper and deeper into Westeros, establishing hundreds of petty kingdoms.
|-
| ca.-10,000
| '''Signing of the [[Pact]]''': After years of warfare, the First Men and children of the forest come to a standstill and finally agree to a peaceful coexistence, signing the pact of The Isle of Faces. This pact gives the First Men dominion over the open lands and lets the children keep control over the forested areas. In time, the First Men adopt the worship of the [[old gods|Old Gods of the Forest]].
|}

==[[Age of Heroes|The Age of Heroes]]==
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px| ca.-10,000
| '''Age of Heroes''': An era during the history of [[Westeros]], which would be named so later for the great men and women who live in the years of peace and prosperity following the forging of the [[Pact]]. The Pact endures for nearly four thousand years, and in that time, the children of the forest and the First Men grow closer. In time, the First Men set aside many of their cultural differences to embrace the ways and customs of the children of the forest. With the exception of the [[Drowned God]] of the [[Iron Islands]], the [[Old Gods|gods of the children]] become those of the First Men.

Many of the noble houses of Westeros today trace their lineage back to the Age of Heroes. This was the time when grand historical figures are said to have lived, such as [[Brandon the Builder]], founder of [[House Stark]]; [[Lann the Clever]], who winkled Casterly Rock from the Casterlys, founder of House Lannister; or [[Garth Greenhand]], founder of House Gardener of the Reach. Also during this era the Storm Kings arise in the stormlands: a line with figures such as the founding [[Durran]], supposed builder of [[Storm's End]], first king of the [[Iron Islands]]; and the [[Grey King]].
|-
| ca.-8,000
|'''The [[The Long Night|Long Night]]''': In this time, night seems to last for a generation, and the longest, coldest and darkest winter descends on Westeros. The ice spreads down from the north, and under the cover of darkness, the [[Others]] invade Westeros from the [[Lands of Always Winter|uttermost north]], marching, killing and raising up the dead to be their [[Wight|servants]] in unlife and nearly destroying all men in Westeros. The Long Night comes to an end following the [[The Long Night#War for the Dawn|Battle of the Dawn]], after the children and the First Men rose united to defeat the Others, with [[dragonglass]] weapons, pushing them back into the frozen reaches of the Far North. They are led by a great hero, who, in an eastern tradition, is named [[Azor Ahai]], and wields a great sword of fire, [[Lightbringer]].<hr>

'''Founding of [[the Wall]]''': With the Others defeated, [[Bran the Builder]], with the aid of the giants, the First Men, and perhaps the children of the forest, raise up the Wall: a monumental fortification of ice and ancient [[magic]], to shelter the realms of men from the menaces of the north. The Sworn Brotherhood of the [[Night's Watch]] is formed to man and guard it.
It's said that [[Bran the Builder]] built [[Winterfell]] and became the first [[King In The North]].<hr>

'''The [[Night's King]]''': Not long after the Wall is complete, the thirteenth [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] of the Night's Watch betrays his oath. He is seduced by a [[wight]] woman from beyond the Wall: declares himself the Night's King and rises in rebellion with the Watch as his personal army. During the dark years of his reign, horrific atrocities are committed, of which tales would be told in the [[North]] even after several millenia. The [[House Stark|Starks]] of [[Winterfell]] and the [[King-Beyond-the-Wall|King Beyond the Wall]], [[Joramun]], join forces to defeat the Night's King and thus restore honor to the Watch. This is the same Joramun who also finds the [[Horn of Winter]], which he is said to use to awaken [[giants]] from the earth.
|}

==[[Andal Invasion|The Andal Invasion]]==
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px|ca.-6,000
| '''Foundation of the Faith''': In the [[Hills of Andalos]] on the eastern continent, [[Essos]], a new religion takes shape, called the [[Faith of the Seven]]. Supposedly, the supreme deity of the [[Andals]] appears to them, guiding them into their invasion of [[Westeros]].<hr>

'''The [[Andal Invasion]]''': The [[Andal]]s cross the [[Narrow Sea]] making landfall on its eastern shore, on what would one day become the [[Vale of Arryn]]. They come under the banner of the [[Faith of the Seven]], with seven-pointed stars carved into their chests, wielding [[Armament|weapons]] of steel. They fight both the First Men and the children of the forest, sweeping the land much like the First Men did thousands of years before.

For centuries the Andals war with the First Men and the children in an attempt to drive them out. One by one, the six southron kingdoms fall and the [[weirwood]]s are burned. Only the Kingdom of the North remains under the rule of the First Men, in large part due to the strategically located fortress of [[Moat Cailin]] resisting multiple attempts to take it and thereafter serving as the door between North and South. Even though the North remain secure, the children of the forest begin their slow withdrawal from the lands of men, retreating deeper into their forests and [[beyond the Wall|North of the Wall]].
|-
|width=85px|ca.-4,000
| The [[Iron Islands]] fall to the Andals, ending the first line of kings ruling there uncontested for over a thousand years, originating from [[Urron Greyiron|Urron Redhand]]. Unlike in the other regions, however, Andals are assimilated to the native beliefs of the [[Old Way]] and the [[Drowned God]].
|}

==[[Valyrian Freehold|Age of Valyria]] ==
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px|ca.-5,000
| '''Rise of the [[Valyrian Freehold]]''': On the [[Essos|eastern continent]], the peaceful sheep-herding folk of the [[Valyrian peninsula]] find [[dragon]]s lairing in the [[Fourteen Fires]], an immense chain of volcanoes extending across the neck of the peninsula. The Valyrians tame the dragons with [[magic]], which gives them the means to gain influence over the area. The Valyrian Freehold is established. In its capital, [[Valyria]], magic flourishes, topless towers rise toward the heavens where dragons soar, stone sphinxes gaze down through eyes of garnet, and smiths forge swords of legendary strength and sharpness.<hr>

'''Conquest of Ghiscar''': Five great wars are fought between the [[Ghiscari Empire]], the greatest empire on the eastern peninsula, and the Freehold — wars which Valyria wins with the help of its dragons. After the last war, the Freehold utterly destroys the [[Old Ghis|Ghiscari capital]], slaying its people, destroying the city's walls and streets with dragonflame, and salting and sulphuring the fields. The Ghiscari empire shattered, the Valyrian Freehold expands its influence over the surviving Ghiscari cities of [[Slaver's Bay]].
|-
| ca.-700
| '''The [[Rhoynar Invasion]]''': With the destruction of Old Ghis, the Freehold's slow westward expansion brings it into conflict with the Rhoynish cities along the great River [[Rhoyne]], a vast waterway. Prince [[Garin (Prince)|Garin the Great]] raises an army a quarter-million strong to oppose the Valyrians, but fails utterly against their dragons.<hr>

Rhoynar evacuation: [[Nymeria]], a Rhoynish warrior-queen, evacuates the survivors of Garin's war, mostly women and children, on ten thousand ships across the [[Narrow Sea]], seeking refuge in [[Dorne]], in southern Westeros.
There, Nymeria forms a marriage alliance with Lord [[Mors Martell]] and together they finally organize the land into one kingdom, establishing [[House Martell]] as the ruling house of Dorne. Mors adopts many Rhoynish [[customs]]. The unification of Dorne under Nymeria and Mors leads to new conflicts with the kingdoms of the Reach and the Stormlands, expressed through raids, skirmishes, and the occasional wars over the centuries.
|-
| ca.-500
| The Valyrian Freehold conquers much of what would be the area of the southern [[Free Cities]]. A religious sect, the [[Moonsingers]], leads many thousand refugees north to a remote lagoon protected by mountains and mists, and there found the Secret City of [[Braavos]]. They later build the [[Titan of Braavos]], a great statue which also serves as a defensive fortification.
|-
| ca.-200
| The Valyrian Freehold annexes a [[Dragonstone|small island]] at the mouth of [[Blackwater Bay]], off the east coast of [[Westeros]]. The [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]], a Valyrian noble family, take control of the island building a castle whose tower is shaped to look like [[Dragon]]s, giving its name: [[Dragonstone]].
|-
| ca.-100
| '''The [[Doom of Valyria]]''': The nature of the Doom is unclear, save that heavy volcanic activity is involved, likely due to the Fourteen Fires, the mountains where the dragons were first discovered. The Valyrian Peninsula is shattered and the city of Valyria is laid waste, although not completely destroyed. The dragons of Valyria are virtually wiped out and the Valyrian Freehold crumbled apart, its various city states broke apart asserting their independence, surviving to this day as the [[Free Cities]] and the cities of [[Slaver's Bay]].<hr>

[[Braavos]] reveals itself to the other cities, eventually becoming the most powerful of them through its vast fleet and economic power. The cities of [[Slaver's Bay]] become independent again, although Ghiscari power begins building again in the south. The warrior-nomads of the vast [[Dothraki Sea|eastern plains]] become more emboldened by the fall of Valyria, and their dominant tribe, the [[Dothraki]], begins raiding the surrounding lands. The Targaryens remain safe on Dragonstone, the guardians of possibly the last three dragons in the western world.
|}

==The Seven Kingdoms==
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px| ca.-3000
|Over the centuries following the Andal Invasion, the southern kingdoms of the first men fall, and eventually the Andals raise up six powerful kingdoms of their own.
|-
| ca.-3000
| '''Wildling Invasion''': The [[Free Folk]] (Wildlings) unite under the brother [[King-Beyond-the-Wall|Kings-beyond-the-Wall]] [[Gendel]] and [[Gorne]], manage to evade the [[Night's Watch]] and bypass the [[Wall]] in great numbers using a network of tunnels that extend under the Wall. However, they are met by the Stark King on the other side and are eventually thrown back.
|-
| ca. -700
| In the North, [[House Stark]] finally subdues [[House Bolton]], their primary antagonists for dominance in the North. Later Karlon Stark would defeat sea raiders from the east and found the cadet branch [[House Karstark]].<hr>
In the West, the Ironborn of the Iron Islands rise to power, at their peak they controll most of the western coast from [[Oldtown]] and the [[Arbor]] in the south to [[Bear Island]] in the North.<hr>
The Rhoynar fleeing the valyrian invasion migrate to Dorne. This is the last major migration into Westeros.
|-
| ca. -400
| House Bolton rises in rebellion against House Stark, but after four years of siege they are subdued once again.
|-
| ca. -350
| The Storm Kings expand their control of the [[Westerlands]] north to include the territory of the [[Riverlands]] up to the Neck. <hr>
Over time the Ironborn lose many of their possessions but, some three generations before Aegon's Landing, conquer the territory of the Riverlands from the [[Stormlands]]. The Ironborn king, [[Harren Hoare]] builds [[Harrenhal]].
|}

==Targaryen Dynasty==

| '''The [[War of Conquest]]''': [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] invades [[Westeros]], subdues, and unites six of the seven kingdoms of Westeros under his banner and constructs a new capital city at [[King's Landing]]. He is unable to conquer Dorne and allows it to remain sovereign. With the destruction of the [[Storm King]], [[Argilac]] the Arrogant, and the death of the last King of the [[Reach]], control of the castle of Storm's End passes to Aegon's bastard half-brother [[Orys Baratheon]], and of [[Highgarden]] to [[Harlen Tyrell]]. [[Edmyn Tully]] of [[Riverrun]] is named Lord of the [[Riverlands]] and [[Vickon Greyjoy]] of [[Pyke]] becomes Lord of the [[Iron Islands]].

The [[Faith of the Seven]] rejects his legitimacy to rule and leads a popular uprising against the Targaryens. The weak and indecisive Aenys makes his half-brother [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]] the Hand of the King and gives him authority to deal with the crisis. Maegor's response is ruthless and brutal, resulting in the deaths of thousands in battle, slaughter and by dragonfire. The slaughter lasts all of Aenys' reign and Maegor's, who succeeded him.

'''Tyrion Lannister''', is the third and youngest child of [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] and [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]]. Tyrion is a dwarf, because of this he is sometimes mockingly called '''The Imp''' and '''The Halfman'''. He is one of the major [[POV Character]]s in the books. In the [[Game of Thrones|TV series]], Tyrion is played by [[List of actors of the televised series#Peter Dinklage, Tyrion Lannister|Peter Dinklage]].<ref>HBO: Game of Thrones:[http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/index.html#/game-of-thrones/cast-and-crew/index.html Cast and Crew].</ref>

==Character and Appearance==
Tyrion is shrewd, educated, and calculating, but receives little respect for this from his father, because of his deformity, and the death of his mother during his birth. {{ref|asos|70}} He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated. {{ref|agot|24}} Tyrion gets on well with his brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] but has a cooler relationship with sister [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]. Tyrion’s deformity was the cause of many problems and persecution, although mitigated to some extent by his high social standing and his family’s wealth and power.

Tyrion is a dwarf, he has stubby legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black,{{ref|agot|5}} and a mixture of pale blond and black hair. {{ref|adwd|47}} Later, he grows a beard, which also contains both blonde and black hair. {{ref|acok|2}} After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose. {{ref|asos|4}}

==History==
Tyrion is the third child of Tywin and Joanna Lannister when his two older siblings, Cersei and Jaime, were already nine years old. His mother died giving birth to him, and as a result his father blamed him for her death and hates him for that and for his deformity. Tyrion finds himself excluded from regular family life, especially by his father and by his sister, who abused him during his childhood.

When Tyrion was thirteen, he and his brother Jaime rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a [[septon]] and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion’s father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion’s benefit. Because the “whore” had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had his entire guard rape Tysha for a silver each and then made Tyrion go last for a gold coin, because a Lannister is worth more. {{ref|agot|42}}

After his brother’s proposed marriage to [[Lysa Tully]] fell through when [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys]] named Jaime to the [[Kingsguard]], Tywin offered Tyrion as a replacement, only to be told by [[Hoster Tully]] that his daughter required a “whole man”. {{ref|asos|19}}

When Tyrion became a man at sixteen, he was forbidden from taking a tour of the Nine Free Cities as his uncles [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]] and [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] had done. Instead Tywin gave him charge of all the cisterns and drains at [[Casterly Rock]]. {{ref|adwd|8}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
Tyrion goes north to [[Winterfell]] as part of King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert’s]] royal procession. {{ref|agot|4}} After [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark’s]] fall, Tyrion makes [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] offer his sympathies to Bran’s parents, though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion hits him. {{ref|agot|9}} Suspicious of the accident, Tyrion took notice of his siblings’ reactions to the news that Bran is expected to survive. {{ref|agot|9}}

When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to see the [[Wall]] before returning south. He joins the [[Night’s Watch|ranger]] [[Benjen Stark]] and new recruit [[Jon Snow]] for the journey and is accompanied by two guards, [[Jyck]] and [[Morrec]]. While at the Wall, Tyrion sees firsthand the poor state of the Night’s Watch; {{ref|agot|13}} it is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch|Lord Commander]] [[Jeor Mormont]] to make King Robert and his father, Lord Tywin, aware of the Watch’s needs.

During his time at the Wall, Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow. Tyrion sees himself as an outcast on similar ground as the bastard-born Snow and helps Jon cope with his identity and lot in life. Before Tyrion leaves the Wall, Jon asks him to help his brother Bran in the same way that he helped Jon; Tyrion promises to do so. {{ref|agot|21}} On his way back south, he stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving a hostile welcome from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives Maester [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse despite his disability and is offered rooms at Winterfell. He declines, choosing to stay at an inn nearby. {{ref|agot|24}}

On his way back to [[King’s Landing]] Tyrion encounters [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn called the [[Crossroads Inn|Crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger used in Bran’s failed assassination attempt belonged to Tyrion. As a result, Catelyn, with the help of some of her father’s bannermen present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] to be tried. {{ref|agot|28}}{{ref|agot|31}} There, Lysa Arryn puts him on trial for the crime of sending an assassin to end Bran’s life, as well as the murder of her husband [[Jon Arryn]], though he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the [[Sky Cells|sky cells]], which are prison cells with a floor slanted toward an exposed cliff side. While confined in the sky cell, Tyrion wonders about who the true perpetrators of his accused crimes could be. He thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for both, but that Bran’s assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime or Cersei’s work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler [[Mord]] into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a [[trial by combat]]. {{ref|agot|38}}

Tyrion’s champion, the sellsword [[Bronn]], kills Lysa’s champion Ser [[Vardis Egen]], securing Tyrion’s freedom. {{ref|agot|40}} Both men leave the Eyrie on the dangerous [[High Road]], and along the way they are surrounded by men of the [[mountain clans of the Vale|mountain clans]], led by [[Shagga]]. Tyrion uses his quick wits and words to win over the clansmen by promising them weapons, armor, and glory. {{ref|agot|42}} The group rides out of the mountains, eventually reaching the Lannister host led by his father, Lord Tywin, who has invaded the Riverlands following Tyrion’s capture.

Lord Tywin decides to place Tyrion and his clansmen in the front for the upcoming battle with the Stark forces and Tyrion is given a number of new servants including a new squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. That night, he seds Bronn looking for a female companion for him, and Bronn brings back a young prostitute named [[Shae]], whom Tyrion takes an immediate liking to and takes into his service. The next day, he fights in the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by [[Roose Bolton]]. {{ref|agot|62}} The battle is won, though afterward the Lannisters learn it was only a diversion and that meanwhile Jaime Lannister’s host was defeated at Riverrun and he himself was captured. Lord Tywin retreats to Harrenhal and sends Tyrion to King’s Landing to act as [[Hand of the King]] in his stead, to rein in his newly crowned nephew and prevent further mistakes from Joffrey like [[Eddard Stark]]’s execution, but forbids him from taking Shae along. Tyrion disobeys and Shae accompanies him in secret. {{ref|agot|69}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Tyrion, along with his mountain clansmen, Shae, and Bronn, arrives at King’s Landing and presents his father Tywin’s letter which names him the Hand of the King in his father’s absence, much to Cersei’s dismay. She threatens to name it a forgery and throw him in the dungeon, but Tyrion tells her that he can get Jaime back and Cersei concedes. She also admits she needs help and agrees to ally herself with Tyrion, though they both have no intention of keeping it. This leads to a power struggle between the two. Tyrion takes up residence in the [[Tower of the Hand]] and as his first act of business removes the heads of the executed [[House Stark|Stark]] household from the walls of the [[Red Keep]]. {{ref|acok|3}}

Tyrion forges an alliance with Varys who helps him to replace [[Janos Slynt]] with Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]] as Commander of the [[City Watch of King’s Landing|City Watch]] and sends Slynt and a few of his cronies to the Wall. {{ref|acok|8}} Next he concocts a plan to weed out Cersei’s informants on the [[small council]]. He tells Petyr Baelish, [[Varys]], and Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] each different plans that he has for [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]]; {{ref|acok|17}} when Cersei confronts him about the plan that he divulged to Pycelle, Tyrion knows that Pycelle is the informant. {{ref|acok|20}} Tyrion’s true plan is to send Myrcella to [[Dorne]] to be betrothed to Prince [[Trystane Martell]]. To further garner Dornish support, he offers Prince [[Doran Martell]] a seat on the small council and promises to turn over the men that murdered Doran’s sister [[Elia Martell|Elia]]. {{ref|acok|17}}{{ref|acok|20}} For his part in giving Cersei private information, Pycelle is confined to the black cells beneath the keep. {{ref|acok|25}}

With his place at court secure and successfully outsmarting Cersei at every turn, Tyrion begins a series of initiatives to prepare the city for the siege, commanding the construction of fishing boats. He also opens the Kingswood for hunting and sends gold cloaks out to forage, but this is still not enough to feed the overcrowded city. He commands the blacksmiths around the city to begin construction on a giant chain which will allow him to close the [[Blackwater Rush]]. He also has [[Hallyne]] of the [[Alchemists’ Guild]] synthesize a large quantity of [[wildfire]]. Eventually, he sends his clansmen to the Kingswood to snuff out outriders and scouts loyal to Stannis.

Tyrion sets Shae up in a manse outside the Red Keep to keep her existence in King’s Landing a secret. {{ref|acok|8}} Varys, however, knows her location, and helps Tyrion use [[Chataya’s brothel]] as a front. Once inside the brothel, Tyrion passes through a tunnel that takes him to a location where he can safely travel to Shae’s manse without being followed. {{ref|acok|15}} She is restless there, however, and wishes to see more of court. Following the [[riot of King’s Landing]], Tyrion moves Shae to the Red Keep for her safety in the guise of [[Lollys Stokeworth|Lollys’s]] maid. {{ref|acok|44}}

Tyrion’s cousin, Ser [[Cleos Frey]], brings peace terms from Robb Stark, asking that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] be released (although Arya is not, in fact, held at King’s Landing) in exchange for all captives save Jaime, and that Joffrey renounce all claims to the [[North]] and Riverlands. {{ref|acok|7}} Tyrion deems the terms unacceptable {{ref|acok|20}} and sends Cleos back with the counter-offer that he will release Sansa and Arya along with a number of captive Stark bannermen in return for Robb’s fealty and Jaime’s release, setting up an escape plan for Jamie to be orchestrated by men in Cleos’s party. {{ref|acok|25}} Tyrion is also visited by Ser [[Alliser Thorne]] of the Night’s Watch, who has brought with him the severed hand of a [[wight]] from the Wall, but it rots away before he can present it. Ser Alliser is mocked by Tyrion and the court, but is promised his pick of the city’s dungeons as recruits. {{ref|acok|17}}{{ref|acok|25}}

When [[Renly Baratheon]] is murdered, Tyrion seizes the opportunity to bring the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to the Lannister cause. He sends Petyr Baelish to treat with the Tyrells and offers Joffrey in marriage to [[Margaery Tyrell]]. {{ref|acok|36}} Tyrion continues to thwart Cersei’s plans, including one to send a disguised Tommen to [[Rosby]] to remove him from the reach of the mobs and Tyrion. {{ref|acok|44}} On one occasion Tyrion drugs her so that she will not be able to attend the small council. {{ref|acok|17}}{{ref|acok|25}} In retaliation Cersei has [[Alayaya]], who she believes is Tyrion’s whore, seized and beaten, offering her freedom in return for custody over Tommen. Tyrion is furious and swears to take from Cersei everything she cares about. {{ref|acok|54}}

When Stannis’s forces attack King’s Landing, later called the Battle of the Blackwater, Tyrion sets in place a giant chain in [[Blackwater Bay]] which traps many ships, Lannister and [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] alike. The wildfire commissioned from the Alchemists is then launched at the ships and they are trapped in the bay to burn. {{ref|acok|58}} During the battle, Tyrion is forced to lead a sortie out past the city walls because [[Sandor Clegane]], terrified of fire, refuses to do so. {{ref|acok|59}} Tyrion heads his men in a wedge formation dispersing the men assaulting the [[King’s Gate]]. He then continues with his men to hold the men crossing over a makeshift bridge made of of sinking galleys of Stannis’s fleet in the river. During the battle Ser [[Mandon Moore]] of the Kingsguard turns on Tyrion and tries to kill him, slicing off his nose, but Tyrion is saved by his squire Podrick Payne before Moore could finish him. {{ref|acok|61}} Tyrion passes out and wakes up in bed some time after the battle, suffering from serious facial wounds and the loss of most of his nose. {{ref|acok|67}} Tyrion suspects that Cersei was behind the assassination attempt.

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:Flawed by algesiras.jpg|thumb|350px|Tyrion loveless marriage to [[Sansa Stark]]. Art by algesiras ©]]


Tyrion makes a complete recovery some weeks later, only to learn that Lord Tywin had taken all the glory and taken over as Hand. Tyrion finds himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]], replacing [[Petyr Baelish]] and forced into a political marriage with Sansa Stark to forestall a Tyrell move to marry her to [[Willas Tyrell]]. {{ref|asos|19}}

The wedding to Sansa goes forward, though Tyrion chooses to defy custom and does not consummate their marriage, saying he will not touch her unless and until she wants him to. His father pushes him to consummate the marriage with [[Sansa]] for the good of the house, but Tyrion never does - a decision that earns him scorn and jest in court. {{ref|asos|28}} Tyrion’s marriage brings him no joy, as Sansa is repulsed by him and [[Shae]] remains indifferent.{{ref|asos|32}}

At King Joffrey’s wedding feast, Tyrion gets into an altercation with Joffrey, and soon afterwards the king is murdered, an act for which Tyrion is unjustly accused and arrested by command of Cersei. {{ref|asos|60}} Tyrion again stands trial for a crime he did not commit. During the trial, [[Cersei]] brings Ser [[Osmund Kettleblack]], who lies that Joffrey believed Tyrion meant to muder him; Grand Maester Pycelle claims that Tyrion stole poison from him and Shae is brought to humiliate him before the court. After the first day the situation seems hopeless, but Tyrion again seeks trial by combat after Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] visits his cell and offers to serve as his champion in the trial. In the trial, Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] stands against [[Gregor Clegane]], but fails to win, although not without mortally wounding him first. {{ref|asos|70}}

Oberyn’s death condemns Tyrion, but the night before he is to be executed, he is freed from his prison cell by his brother [[Jaime]] and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime reveals that their father made him lie about [[Tysha]] being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion.

Tyrion sees this admission as an unforgivable betrayal and abandons Jaime, promising retribution on Jaime, Tywin and Cersei. He also torments Jaime by telling his brother of Cersei's repeated infidelities, and falsely claims responsibility for Joffrey's death.

Before leaving the [[Red Keep]], Tyrion visits his father’s room and, finding [[Shae]] in his bed, strangles her. He then confronts his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin tells Tyrion that she went ''“wherever whores go.”'' Tyrion then slays his father and escapes. {{ref|asos|77}} He flees [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]] to an unknown destination chosen by [[Varys]]. After his escape, Cersei offers a lordship for any that brings her Tyrion.

===''A Feast of Crows''===
Tyrion remains in his flight across the Narrow Sea. He is regarded by most as accursed as a [[Kinslaying|kinslayer]] and Kingslayer, although he is guilty of only the former. Meanwhile, in King’s Landing, Cersei’s bounty on Tyrion results in the killing of a number of innocent dwarfs and children; Cersei refuses to publicly punish anyone who does so, for fear it will discourage other such bounty hunters and allow Tyrion to escape.

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Tyrion flees across the [[Narrow Sea]], pondering his options. Tyrion arrives drunk and despondent at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]]. {{ref|adwd|1}} There Illyrio tells Tyrion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons.

He then sends Tyrion, along with retainers Griff, Young Griff, Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], Septa [[Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship ''[[Shy Maid]]'' to [[Volantis]]. During the trip, he assumes the aliases Yollo and Hugor Hill. {{ref|adwd|5}} In Volantis, they plan to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. En route, Tyrion realizes that Griff is in fact the exiled lord [[Jon Connington]], and Young Griff is [[Aegon Targaryen]], saved from the [[Sack of King’s Landing]]. During the journey, the boat is ambushed by [[stone men]] and Tyrion is knocked overboard; he would have drowned had Jon Connington not dived in to save him. {{ref|adwd|18}}

While in [[Selhorys]], Tyrion (under Haldon’s direction) plays a game of [[Cyvasse]] with [[Qavo Nogarys]], a customs offical, in order to gain information. Tyrion later visits a brothel, a modest one compared to those he he had been wont to frequent in [[Lannisport]] and King’s Landing, where he is recognized and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. {{ref|adwd|22}} Jorah plans to bring Tyrion to Daenerys to regain her favor. Jorah takes him to the [[Widow of the Waterfront]] to try and arrange passage out of Volantis. There Tyrion meets a female dwarf performer named [[Penny]] who, upon learning that Tyrion was indirectly responsible for her brother [[Oppo]]’s death, tries to kill him. {{ref|adwd|27}} Penny joins the pair as they travel to [[Meereen]] by sea aboard the ''[[Selaesori Qhoran]]'', where the crew take to calling him No-Nose, to reach Daenerys. On the ship Penny eventually befriends Tyrion. {{ref|adwd|33}}

While aboard the ''Selaesori Qhoran'', Tyrion makes the acquaintance of [[Moqorro]]. One night Tyrion asks him what he sees in the flames. Moqorro replies dragons, adding:

{{Quote|Dragons [[Maester Aemon|old]] and young, true and false, [[House Targaryen|bright]] and [[House Blackfyre|dark]]. And you. A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of it all.}}

Tyrion wonders if he may be seeing Penny in the flames as they are almost of size, Moqorro tells him no.

Soon, however, Tyrion, Penny, and Mormont are captured by a [[Yunkai|Yunkai’i]] slaver and bought by [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]]. They are instructed by his overseer [[Nurse]] on how to treat their new master. {{ref|adwd|47}} Tyrion and Penny are forced to perform a mock joust in the [[fighting pits]], not knowing that they were to be eaten by lions at the end of the show. Daenerys Targaryen, for whom the show was staged, learns of their impending fate and stops the lions from being released. {{ref|adwd|52}}

After their new master dies of the [[bloody flux]] the trio escapes. Tyrion arranges for the three to join the sellsword company the [[Second Sons]], under the command of [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]], by promising the company the wealth of Casterly Rock. {{ref|adwd|57}}{{ref|adwd|66}} While the Sons’ current contract is to fight Daenerys, Tyrion hopes to win them to her side.

==Relationships==
===Tywin Lannister===
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|350px|Tyrion and his father. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]
[[File:Tyrion and shae by algesiras.jpg|thumb|350px|Tyrion and [[Shae]], his favourite. Art by algesiras ©]]

Tyrion has a difficult relation with his father. His mother died giving birth to Tyrion, something his father never forgave him. {{ref|asos|4}} When his father found out Tyrion had married Tysha, he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson. {{ref|agot|42}} Her memory haunted him for a very long time {{ref|acok|29}} and he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes. {{ref|acok|8}} To his father this brought further shame on their house. {{ref|asos|4}} Tyrion himself has thought about killing his father. {{ref|agot|42}}

When Tyrion was kidnapped by Catelyn Tully, his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house. Later he had Tyrion fight in the vanguard at the Battle of the Green Fork which made Tyrion suspect that his father would not have been unhappy to see him killed.{{Ref|aGoT|62}}

Though their relation is bad, his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King’s Landing to act as Hand of the King in his stead. {{ref|agot|69}} Tyrion did well, keeping the Dornish neutral and building a chain across the Blackwater river to trap [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]’ fleet, something his father acknowledged. As a reward Tyrion asked to be named Tywin’s heir, which he was under the laws as Jaime had joined the Kingsguard and thus was unable to inherit. His father flatly refused, saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make Casterly Rock his whorehouse. {{ref|asos|4}}

After Joffrey’s death, Cersei accused Tyrion of murdering him. Tywin formed a court to sit in judgement of his son. Tyrion demanded a trial by battle and when his champion lost his father sentenced him to death though it is not clear if Tywin really thought Tyrion was guilty. Jaime freed Tyrion the night before his execution. He told him this was to make up for lying to Tyrion that Tysha had been a whore who was after riches while she had been what she claimed to be: a common girl and in love with Tyrion. Armed with this knowledge Tyrion visited his father and found him with Shae, Tyrion’s former mistress. Tyrion killed them both. {{ref|asos|77}}

===Cersei Lannister===
Cersei Lannister is Tyrion’s older sister and has always despised him. When Oberyn Martell and his sister Elia Martell visited Casterly Rock in their teens, they were shown the newborn baby Tyrion by both Jaime and Cersei. Cersei twisted Tyrion’s penis until he cried, only stopping when Jaime intervened. When she read how Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his sisters for being beautiful, Cersei went to Tyrion’s nursery and pinched him till he cried. Cersei’s cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word “Valonquar” (high valyrian for Little Brother).

She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, and Tyrion returned her hatred in kind, developing a deep contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men|Faceless Man]] to kill his sister. {{ref|acok|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did {{ref|acok|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him.

The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see’s Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered, Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore Shae to lie and humiliate her “Valonquar” further before his death.

When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in the mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children. In addition, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate.

Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella’s injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] believed Dayne was Tyrion’s catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella’s ear the way an agent of Cersei (Mandon Moore) once cut off Tyrion’s nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by Varys), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed their father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares. Tyrion also remarks on his journey that the only reward he will ask from Daenerys Targaryen for his service is the right to rape and kill Cersei.

===Jaime Lannister===
Jaime Lannister is Tyrion’s older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion believed he would forgive his brother for anything. {{ref|agot|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie their father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, as Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrion’s innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.

Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei’s infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also falsely told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.

Tyrion mentioned to Illyrio Mopatis that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.

===His Uncles===
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, Gerion, Tygett and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].

Gerion and Tygett once asked Tyrion what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Tygett kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephew’s feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of King’s Landing, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father, Tygett, was always kind to Tyrion.

Gerion gifted Tyrion with the Books [[Wonders]] and [[Wonders Made by Man]] by [[Lomas Longstrider]] and often had Tyrion recite the sixteen wonders of the World. Tyrion wished to accompany his uncle Gerion on his quest to find and retrieve [[Brightroar]] but his father would not allow him.

Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the battle of the Blackwater to praise him and his abilities.

===Tysha===
Tysha was Tyrion’s first wife. For years Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money. {{ref|acok|3}} When Jaime rescued Tyrion from his cell he told him the truth: Tysha was a girl chance met on the road. As she had seemed to genuinely love Tyrion, he became furious with his brother. In retaliation Tyrion told Jaime that Cersei had bedded others and that he had killed Jaime’s son. The latter part was not true but was said to hurt Jaime. {{ref|asos|77}}

===Shae===
Shae was Tyrion’s whore who he began, despite his better judgement, to develop feelings towards. In order to protect Shae, Tyrion enlisted Varys help in creating an alias of Shae as a bedmaid. Tyrion reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, as Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei’s direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. {{ref|asos|77}}

When Tyrion escaped his dungeon he went to his fathers chamber. There he found Shae in his father’s bed. He killed her and later his father. {{ref|asos|77}}{{Clear}}
