'''Tywin Lannister''' is Lord of Casterly Rock, Shield of Lannisport and Warden of the West. A calculating, ruthless, and controlling man, Tywin is one of the most powerful lords in [[Westeros]]. He is the father of [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]], and [[Tyrion Lannister]]. He loves his children Jaime and Cersei, but despises Tyrion. This is partly because Tyrion is deformed, but also Tywin blames his son for causing his beloved wife [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]]'s death during his birth, as well as for shaming the family name with his frequent whoring.

==Appearance==
Tywin is a tall, slender, broad-shouldered man in his fifties. He has kept his head shaved ever since he started going bald, but grows out bushy golden side-whiskers and has green eyes flecked with gold. In battle, he wears deep crimson armor highlighted with gold, with a cloth-of-gold cape.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 56|Chapter 56]], Tyrion</ref>

==History==
In his youth, Tywin watched his father [[Tytos Lannister|Tytos]] mishandle the Lannister fortunes and nearly ruin the family. After becoming lord of the house, Tywin managed to single-handedly restore the family honor and fortunes. He dedicates all his efforts to maintaining the Lannisters' prestige.

Tywin was a powerful [[Hand of the King]] for many years under [[Aerys II]] until Aerys' increasing paranoia and jealousy drove the two into several bitter disagreements. After Aerys refused to marry Cersei to his heir, Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]], and raised Jaime to the [[Kingsguard]] without Tywin's assent, Tywin resigned the position of Hand and returned to his own lands. During [[Robert's Rebellion]] Tywin remained at [[Casterly Rock]], taking no side until after [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]'s decisive victory at the [[Battle of the Trident]]. After the battle, Tywin mustered his forces and rode for the capital of [[King's Landing]]. After Aerys was convinced that Tywin had come to aid him, he ordered the gates of the city opened. Tywin's forces brutally sacked the city while knights sworn to him slew Rhaegar's wife and children. After the rebellion, Tywin returned to [[Casterly Rock]] where he continued to serve as Lord and [[Warden of the West]].

Though ruthless, Tywin Lannister was also an able and shrewd ruler who brought great prosperity during his tenures as the King's Hand. He was especially talented at the raising of funds, leading to a persistent jest that he must "shit gold." His daughter Cersei once reminisced that the common folk cheered twice as loud for him as they did for their actual king, Mad Aerys II. Though his children also greatly respected him, none of them were ever able to conform to the paths he had laid out for them, a fact that caused many difficulties.

==Recent Events==
===A Game of Thrones===
Believed to be responsible for hiring an assassin to murder [[Bran Stark]] while he lay in a coma, Tywin's son [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] was encountered and arrested at the Inn of the Crossroads by [[Catelyn Tully]], the wife of [[Eddard Stark]]. She took him to her sister [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]], at The [[Eyrie]], for trial. Tywin saw his son's arrest as a kidnapping and a direct slight on his family's honor, and in response sent Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] and his men, disguised as brigands, to sack and pillage various villages and hamlets across the [[Riverlands]], Catelyn's home. These raids marked one of the seminal points in what was to become the [[War of the Five Kings]].

Tywin's aim was to draw Eddard out of King's Landing, capture him, and exchange him for the freedom of his son. Eddard, however, had been injured in a skirmish on the streets of King's Landing with Tywin's son [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] and sent Lord [[Beric Dondarrion]] in his stead. When Beric's forces reached the Mummer's Ford, soldiers of Tywin's and Gregor's attacked from all sides, routing Dondarrion's host. Dondarrion himself was mortally wounded, though he would be revived by [[Thoros of Myr]] and go on to form the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]], which would continually harass the Lannister forces for the duration of the war.

As the war gained momentum, Tywin's forces took the majority of the Riverlands, including Riverrun, before meeting their first real opposition in the [[Battle of the Green Fork]]. Just prior to the battle, Tyrion, having won his freedom from the Vale via trial by combat and earned the loyalty of many of the [[Mountain clans]] along the way, met up with his father. Tywin sent Tyrion and his clansmen into the battle on the left flank, believing the undisciplined men likely to rout, but giving the Northern commander, which Tywin believed to be the young and inexperienced [[Robb Stark]], a chance to over-commit and be annihilated. The clansmen did not rout, however, and the Northern commander was not Stark but instead the more cautious and experienced [[Roose Bolton]]. The battle was a Lannister victory, but it bought enough time for a separate Northern force, under Robb Stark's command, to cross the [[Trident]] at [[The Twins]] and retake Riverrun, capturing Tywin's other son [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] in the process.

After the death of [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]], Tywin had been named Hand of the King for his grandson [[Joffrey Baratheon]]. After the battle, he sent Tyrion to King's Landing to serve as Hand in his stead, and to prepare the city's defenses in anticipation of an attack from one or both of Robert's brothers [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] and [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], both of whom had laid claim to the Iron Throne, while Tywin managed the war with the North and the Riverlands.

===A Clash of Kings===
The loss of Riverrun meant that Tywin was not able to pursue and destroy Roose Bolton's forces. Instead he marched south to [[Harrenhal]] while he pondered his next move. When Robb Stark marched from Riverrun and invaded the [[Westerlands]], smashing a new Lannister host being raised and trained by [[Stafford Lannister]] at [[Battle of Oxcross|Oxcross]] and turning his forces loose to scour the Westerlands, Tywin left Harrenhal and marched his forces West in pursuit. Robb's plan was to lead Tywin's army on a long chase across the Westerlands, bleeding his forces and living off of their lands. Instead, [[Edmure Tully]], who had been tasked with holding Riverrun, met Tywin's army in the field in the [[Battle of the Fords]].

Tywin's forces were bloodied and thrown back, but the delay allowed word to reach Tywin that Stannis Baratheon had murdered his brother Renly and laid claim to the majority of his army, and that he was marching and sailing on King's Landing with an enormous force. Tywin turned his force Southeast on a forced march to King's Landing, and arrived just in time for the waning moments of the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], where he was able to break and drive away the majority of Stannis' army, which had been on the cusp of victory, by taking them in the flank. Tywin's son Tyrion, who had done much for the city's defenses, was critically wounded in the fighting.

===A Storm of Swords===
Tywin's timely arrival at the Battle of the Blackwater allowed him to take the majority of the credit for the Lannister victory. Tywin assumed his official position as King Joffrey's Hand, while giving Tyrion, after his recovery, the position of Master of Coin, which Tyrion saw as a demotion and an insult. He arranged for Tyrion to be wed to [[Sansa Stark]], giving him claim over [[Winterfell]] and directly denying Tyrion's ambition to inherit [[Casterly Rock]]. He also made plans to find a suitor to marry his widowed daughter [[Cersei Lannister|Queen Cersei]], though they were never realized.

After learning that Robb Stark had unexpectedly wed [[Jeyne Westerling]] and that [[House Westerling]] had gone over to the Starks, Tywin remained in communication, via raven, with Jeyne's mother [[Sybell Spicer]], as well as with [[Roose Bolton]], who had switched sides to the Lannisters after taking Harrenhal, and [[Walder Frey]], who saw Robb's marriage to Jeyne as an insult to his house, as it broke a marriage pact Robb had previously made to wed a Frey girl. The [[Red Wedding]] was the direct result of their correspondence, which saw Robb Stark betrayed and slain along with the vast majority of his host, effectively ending the war with House Lannister the victor.

Not long after, King Joffrey was poisoned and died at the feast that followed his wedding to [[Margaery Tyrell]]. Tywin's son Tyrion was (falsely) accused of the crime, and Tywin agreed to be one of Tyrion's three judges, alongside [[Oberyn Martell]] and [[Mace Tyrell]], at his trial. When it became clear that he was going to be found guilty, Tyrion demanded trial by combat, and Oberyn Martell surprisingly volunteered to champion him. Tywin selected Ser Gregor Clegane to represent the crown. Gregor won the duel, slaying Oberyn, and Tyrion was thus found guilty.

Awaiting his sentencing, however, Tyrion was freed from the Black Cells by his brother Jaime, who had made his way to King's Landing after being released from Riverrun by Catelyn. During his escape, Tyrion came upon a ladder that led directly into the Tower of the Hand, and climbed it straight into Tywin's residence, where he found and retrieved a crossbow. He also found his ex-whore [[Shae]] in Tywin's bed, wearing nothing but his father's golden chain of office. Tyrion strangled her to death with it. He then found Tywin in the privy, and brought up old, deep wounds regarding his onetime wife [[Tysha]], that Tywin had, many years back, made to be repeatedly raped as a sharp lesson to his son. Tywin remained belligerent, repeatedly calling her a "whore", which Tyrion saw as the final insult and shot him in his bowels with the crossbow, killing him.

==Family==
Tywin married his cousin [[Joanna Lannister]]. They had three children; Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion. Joanna died when giving birth to Tyrion. It is an unexplained mystery why Tywin named his first son Jaime, after no one known, and gave the family-traditional-style name Tyrion to his deformed second son.

'''House Baratheon of Storm's End''' is the principal house in the [[Stormlands]]. Its seat is [[Storm's End]]. Its sigil is a crowned black stag on a field of gold, and its words are "Ours is the Fury."

==History==
Baratheon was the youngest of the original great houses, tracing its descent from [[Orys Baratheon]], one of [[Aegon I]]'s fiercest generals, and rumored to be his bastard brother. Through the female line, the Baratheons are descended from the Storm Kings, as Orys slew [[Argilac]] the Arrogant, last of the Storm Kings, and married his daughter. Orys adopted the sigil and words of his wife's ancestral line.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[Appendix|Appendix]]</ref> The line of the Storm Kings dates back to the [[Age of Heroes]] when their kingdom was founded by King Durran I "Godsgrief", a legendary hero. After the [[War of the Usurper]], the house claimed the Iron Throne in King's Landing and the Isle of Dragonstone, with the support of [[House Stark]], [[House Tully]], [[House Arryn]], and, eventually, [[House Lannister]].

==The Baratheon House at the end of the third century==

The known Baratheons during the timespan of the events described on [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] are:

* King {[[Robert Baratheon|Robert I]]}, King of Westeros. Gored by a boar.

** Queen [[Cersei Lannister]], his wife
*** King {[[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]]}, his eldest son and heir. Poisoned.
*** Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon]], his daughter.
*** King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I]], his second son. King of Westeros.
*** [[Edric Storm]], Robert's acknowledged bastard.
* King [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis I]], self-proclaimed King of Westeros.
** Queen [[Selyse Florent]], his wife.
*** Princess [[Shireen Baratheon]], his only daughter.
* King {[[Renly Baratheon|Renly I]]}, self-proclaimed king. He died under mysterious circumstances.

'''Azor Ahai''' was a legendary hero who lived approximately eight thousand years before [[Aegon's Landing]]. It is said that during the midst of [[The Long Night]], Azor Ahai rose up and defeated [[The Others|the Others]] wielding a sword of fire, called [[Lightbringer]].

==The Legend of Lightbringer==
Darkness lay over the world and a hero, Azor Ahai, was chosen to fight against it. To fight the darkness, Azor Ahai needed to forge a hero's sword. He labored for thirty days and thirty nights until it was done. However, when he went to temper it in water, the sword broke. He was not one to give up easily, so he started over. The second time he took fifty days and fifty nights to make the sword, even better than the first. To temper it this time, he captured a lion and drove the sword into its heart, but once more the steel shattered. The third time, with a heavy heart, for he knew before hand what he must do to finish the blade, he worked for a hundred days and nights until it was finished. This time, he called for his wife, [[Nissa Nissa]], and asked her to bare her breast. He drove his sword into her breast, her soul combining with the steel of the sword, creating [[Lightbringer]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref>

== The Prince That Was Promised ==
According to prophesy originating from [[Asshai]] over five thousand years ago, Azor Ahai is to be reborn again as "The Prince that was Promised" to challenge the [[Others]]. The prophesy states that "when the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone." This will occur after a long summer when an evil, cold darkness descends upon the world. It is said that The Prince that was Promised, wielding Lightbringer once again, will stand against the Others and if he fails, the world fails with him.

}}
'''House Blackfyre''' was founded by [[Daemon Blackfyre]], the bastard-son of [[Aegon IV]] after he was legitimized by his dying father. Daemon inversed the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen arms]] for his coat of arms and named the house after the sword [[Blackfyre]] that his father gave him when he was 14. The sword had been the personal weapon of the first Targaryen king [[Aegon I]] and all his successors.

It is not known if lands were bestowed on Daemon. If so this was probably in the Blackwater Bay area, around Dragonstone or around Summerhal, which regions were directly ruled by the Targaryens.

In [[195 AL]] Daemon and his friends and allies [[Blackfyre rebellion|revolted]] against [[Daeron II]], his half-brother, using the old rumor that Daeron was the son of [[Aemon Targaryen|Aemon the Dragonknigh]] instead of [[Aegon IV]] and that the gift of the ancestral weapon [[Blackfyre]] proved that Aegon wanted Daemon to succeed him.

Ultimately the rebellion failed and Daemon and his eldest sons perished on the [[Battle of the Redgrass|Redgrass field]]. His two surviving sons fled to the [[Free Cities]] with a number of supporters. They and their descendants attacked the Seven Kingdoms a number of times (as many as five Blackfyre rebellions have been mentioned).

The last attack was in [[257 AL]] when [[Maelys Blackfyre|Maelys the Monstruous]] joined forces with a number of ambitious men and invaded the [[Stepstones]] as a base for a future invasion of the Seven Kingdoms. [[Aegon V]] sent an army that defeated the rebels. Maelys the Monstruous was killed in single combat by [[Barristan Selmy]]. As he was the last of his line, with Maelys death House Blackfyre died out.

The exact time and reason House Whent came to rule over Harrenhal are unknown. The first reference is from [[281 AL]], the Year of the False Spring, when Lord Whent hosted a tournament.

The known Whents during the timespan of the events described on [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] are:
*Lady Shella Whent: wife of the unnamed Lord Whent who hosted the tournament in [[281 AL]]. It is not known from which house she was before her marriage. She is an old woman without heirs.

Previous members
*{Lord Whent}: the previous lord of the house, who was rich and open-handed, and hosted the tournament were [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]] and [[Lyana Stark|Lyana]] met
**{His children}: four sons and a daughter.
*{[[Oswell Whent|Ser Oswell Whent]]}: Brother of Lord Whent and a member of [[Aerys II|Aerys]]' Kingsguard. Known for his black humor, died at the [[Tower of Joy]].

*{Minissa Whent}: Deceased wife of [[Hoster Tully|Lord Hoster Tully]] and mother to [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]], [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]] and [[Edmure Tully|Edmure]].

*Wynafrei Whent: Married to the ninth son of [[Lord Walder Frey]] (Danwell). With no progeny. Many stillbirths and miscarriages.

*{Sarya Frey}: Fifth wife of [[Lord Walder Frey]]. Deceased with no progeny.

Of Lady Shella Whent, wife of the unnamed Lord Whent, is said that she is without heirs. Therefore is must be assumed that all of Lord Whent's progeny died before the start of the books.

It is remarkable the apparent poor fertilty of the Whent women. Wynafrei and Sarya all died childless. Only Minissa and her line has proved fertile, although she died in chilbed.

==References in the books==

*When thinking about [[Hoster Tully|her father]]'s most important bannermen, [[Catelyn Tully]] reflects that Lady Whent is dwelling with her ghosts in the cavernous vaults of Harrenhal.
*Ser Willis Wode, the hedge knight who first aided Catelyn to detain [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], was sworn to Lady Whent.
*Ser Oswell Whent appears in Eddard's dream at the Tower of Joy, wearing the black bat of his house over his white-enameled helm. In the famous exhange before the fight, he delivers the sentences, "''Woe to the Usurper if we had been''", and "''Ser Willem is a good man and true''”.
*When Tywin approached with his army, Lady Whent yielded Harrenhal and fled lacking enough men to defend it.
*The castle of Harrenhal is granted to [[Janos Slynt]], although is taken away from him by [[Tyrion Lannister]].
*Yoren states that Lady Whent has always been a friend of the [[Night's Watch|Watch]]
*It is said thet Lady Whent only used the lower thirds of two of the five towers of Harrenhal, and let the rest go to ruin.
*Littlefinger is given the castle of Harrenhal and the title of Lord Paramount of the Trident for his services to [[Joffrey Baratheon|King Joffrey]] during the [[War of the Five Kings]]
*The tourney organized by Lord Whent is remembered both in [[Meera Reed|Meera]]'s story about the [[Knight of the Laughing Tree]] and in [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]]'s thoughts on his entrance to the [[Kingsguard]]. It is said that the daughter of the castle was the queen of love and beauty, and that his four brothers and uncle Oswell rode to defend her. Eventually they were defeated and at the end [[Lyanna Stark]] was crowned by [[Rhaegar Targaryen]].
*Lady Shella is reported dead shortly after the war.

*Lady Shella Whent: wife of the unnamed Lord Whent who hosted the tournament in [[281 AL]]. It is not known from which house she was before her marriage. She is an old woman without heirs.

Previous members
*{Lord Whent}: the previous lord of the house, who was rich and open-handed, and hosted the tournament were [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]] and [[Lyana Stark|Lyana]] met
**{His children}: four sons and a daughter.
*{[[Oswell Whent|Ser Oswell Whent]]}: Brother of Lord Whent and a member of [[Aerys II|Aerys]] kingsguard. Known for his black humor, died at the [[Tower of Joy]].

*{Minissa Whent}: Deceased wife of [[Hoster Tully|Lord Hoster Tully]] and mother to [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]], [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]] and [[Edmure Tully|Edmure]].

*Wynafrei Whent: Married to the ninth son of [[Lord Walder Frey]] (Danwell). With no progeny. Many stillbirths and miscarriages.

*{Sarya Frey}: Fifth wife of [[Lord Walder Frey]]. Deceased with no progeny.

Of Lady Shella Whent, wife of the unnamed Lord Whent, is said that she is without heirs. Therefore is must be assumed that all of Lord Whent's progeny died before the start of the books.

It is remarkable the apparent poor fertilty of the Whent women. Wynafrei and Sarya all died childless. Only Minissa and her line has proved fertile, although she died in chilbed.
