'''Tyrion Lannister''', is [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]]'s third child, a misshapen dwarf nicknamed '''The Imp''' and '''The Halfman'''. Though he is shrewd, educated, and calculating, he receives little respect from Tywin because of the death of his mother during his birth.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Bran</ref><ref>[[Game of Thrones]], [[Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things]]</ref>

==History==
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, and sought his own entertainment. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]]. Tysha found Tyrion pleasing, and they married in secret, but Lord Tywin claimed that she was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Tywin had her repeatedly raped before Tyrion's eyes, and ultimately forced the boy to do the same.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> This incident scarred Tyrion, but also brought him closer to Jaime, whom he held in gratitude for bringing Tysha to him. At that time he thought that Tysha really was a whore.

Tyrion joins the royal family on their fateful trip to [[Winterfell]]. After Bran has fallen he makes Joffrey offer his sympathies to Bran's parents though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion has hit him.

[[File:Tyrion arrested by Catelyn.png|thumb|300px|left|Tyrion arrested by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]].]]
Sometime later Tyrion accidentally meets [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn. Unknown to him Catelyn has been told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger that was used in a failed assassination attempt on Bran belongs to Tyrion. As a result Catelyn arrests him and takes him to the Eyrie.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Tyrion</ref> There [[Lysa Arryn]] puts him on trial for that crime, as well as the murder of [[Jon Arryn]] (he was innocent of both).

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:Shae.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Shae]]]]
Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]], but forbids him from indulging in his weakness for prostitutes. Tyrion disobeys, secretly taking the young prostitute [[Shae]] into his service.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> As Hand, he enters a bitter power struggle with Cersei, but manages to consistently outplot her.

He arranged the massive chain and use of [[wildfire]] that decimated [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s fleet during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], along with numerous other contributions to the victory against [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]. He, developed many enemies, however, and took a severe facial wound in an assassination attempt by Ser [[Mandon Moore]] during the fighting, and was only saved by his squire [[Podrick Payne]].

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:Tirion middle.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Tyrion by [http://en.amokanet.ru/gallery/martin/ Amoka].]]
Upon the return of his father, Tyrion found himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they were married for over a month, Tyrion never forced consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earned him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa was grateful for his mercy. Sansa fled in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion was unjustly accused. Cersei brought Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again sought trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stood for him, but lost to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref>

Condemned to death, Tyrion was freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime revealed that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion saw this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandoned Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visited his father's room and found Shae there, whom he killed. He then confronted his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin revealed that he had not killed her, but provoked Tyrion by repeatedly calling her a whore. Tyrion slew his father as well and escaped.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> Cersei put a bounty on his head, and he has since fled [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]], his motives now unknown even to himself.

===''A Feast of Crows''===
Tyrion and he has since fled [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]], his motives now unknown even to himself as the ships passage has been arranged by Varys. Meanwhile Cersei put a bounty on his head, resulting in the mass killing of dwarfs and children.

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]]. Illyrio made Tyrion aware of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons and sent Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff ([[Jon Connington]]), Young Griff ([[Aegon Targaryen]]), Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], [[Septa Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the "Shy Maid" to [[Volantis]]. There they planned to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. While visiting a brothel in Volantis, Tyrion was recognised and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah wanted to bring Tyrion to Daenarys hoping that delivering the Kingslayer's brother to her would earn him his queen's forgiveness. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]] accompanies the pair as well and eventually strikes a friendship with Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont were captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and sold. When their new master died of a disease known as "The Pale Mare", the trio used the opportunity to escape and Tyrion managed to get all three to join the sellsword company the "[[Second Sons]]" under the command of [[Brown Ben Plumm]]. Tyrion wrote notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of Casterly Rock. Although how Tyrion convinced Plumm on how he would achieve this still remains a mystery.

==Appearance==
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair. After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref>

==Family==
===Tywin Lannister===
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|550px|Tyrion in discussion with his father]]
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion something his father has never forgiven him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> In his youth he married a common girl. When his father found out he had the girl raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref>

When he 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>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref>

Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building 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>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref>

After [[Joffrey Baratheon|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 [[Oberyn Martell|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 formed mistress. Tyrion killed booth.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref>

'''Tyrion Lannister''', is [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]]'s third child, a misshapen dwarf nicknamed '''The Imp''' and '''The Halfman'''.

==History==
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, and sought his own entertainment. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]]. Tysha found Tyrion pleasing, and they married in secret, but Lord Tywin claimed that she was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Tywin had her repeatedly raped before Tyrion's eyes, and ultimately forced the boy to do the same.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> This incident scarred Tyrion, but also brought him closer to Jaime, whom he held in gratitude for bringing Tysha to him.

Upon the return of his father, Tyrion found himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they were married for over a month, Tyrion never forced consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earned him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa was grateful for his mercy. Sansa fled in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion was unjustly accused. Cersei brought Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again sought trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stood for him, but lost to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref>

Condemned to death, Tyrion was freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime revealed that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion saw this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandoned Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visited his father's room and found Shae there, whom he killed. He then confronted his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin revealed that he had not killed her, but provoked Tyrion by repeatedly calling her a whore. Tyrion slew his father as well and escaped.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> Cersei put a bounty on his head, and he has since fled [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]], his motives now unknown even to himself.

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]]. Illyrio made Tyrion aware of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons and sent Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff ([[Jon Connington]]), Young Griff ([[Aegon Targaryen]]), Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], [[Septa Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the "Shy Maid" to [[Volantis]]. There they planned to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. While visiting a brothel in Volantis, Tyrion was recognised and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah wanted to bring Tyrion to Daenarys hoping that delivering the Kingslayer's brother to her would earn him his queen's forgiveness. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]] accompanies the pair as well and eventually strikes a friendship with Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont were captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and sold. When their new master died of a disease known as "The Pale Mare", the trio used the opportunity to escape and Tyrion managed to get all three to join the sellsword company the "[[Second Sons]]" under the command of [[Brown Ben Plumm]]. Tyrion wrote notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of Casterly Rock. Although how Tyrion convinced Plumm on how he would achieve this still remains a mystery.

Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]].

When he was kidnapped by [[Catelyn Tully]] his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house.

His father flatly refused saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make [[Casterly Rock]] his whorehouse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref>

After [[Joffrey Baratheon|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 [[Oberyn Martell|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 formed mistress.

'''Tyrion Lannister''', is [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]]'s third child, a misshapen dwarf nicknamed '''The Imp''' and '''The Halfman'''. Though he is shrewd, educated, and calculating, he receives little respect from Tywin because of the death of his mother during his birth.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Bran</ref><ref>[[Game of Thrones]], [[Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things]]</ref>

==History==
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, and sought his own entertainment. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]]. Tysha found Tyrion pleasing, and they married in secret, but Lord Tywin claimed that she was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Tywin had her repeatedly raped before Tyrion's eyes, and ultimately forced the boy to do the same.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> This incident scarred Tyrion, but also brought him closer to Jaime, whom he held in gratitude for bringing Tysha to him. At that time he thought that Tysha really was a whore.

He arranged the massive chain and use of [[wildfire]] that decimated [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s fleet during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], along with numerous other contributions to the victory against [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]. He, developed many enemies, however, and took a severe facial wound in an assassination attempt by Ser [[Mandon Moore]] during the fighting, and was only saved by his squire [[Podrick Payne]].

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:Tirion middle.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Tyrion by [http://en.amokanet.ru/gallery/martin/ Amoka].]]
Upon the return of his father, Tyrion found himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they were married for over a month, Tyrion never forced consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earned him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa was grateful for his mercy. Sansa fled in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion was unjustly accused. Cersei brought Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again sought trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stood for him, but lost to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref>

Condemned to death, Tyrion was freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime revealed that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion saw this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandoned Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visited his father's room and found Shae there, whom he killed. He then confronted his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin revealed that he had not killed her, but provoked Tyrion by repeatedly calling her a whore. Tyrion slew his father as well and escaped.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> Cersei put a bounty on his head, and he has since fled [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]], his motives now unknown even to himself.

===''A Feast of Crows''===
Tyrion and he has since fled [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]], his motives now unknown even to himself as the ships passage has been arranged by Varys. Meanwhile Cersei put a bounty on his head, resulting in the mass killing of dwarfs and children.

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]]. Illyrio made Tyrion aware of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons and sent Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff ([[Jon Connington]]), Young Griff ([[Aegon Targaryen]]), Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], [[Septa Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the "Shy Maid" to [[Volantis]]. There they planned to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. While visiting a brothel in Volantis, Tyrion was recognised and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah wanted to bring Tyrion to Daenarys hoping that delivering the Kingslayer's brother to her would earn him his queen's forgiveness. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]] accompanies the pair as well and eventually strikes a friendship with Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont were captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and sold. When their new master died of a disease known as "The Pale Mare", the trio used the opportunity to escape and Tyrion managed to get all three to join the sellsword company the "[[Second Sons]]" under the command of [[Brown Ben Plumm]]. Tyrion wrote notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of Casterly Rock. Although how Tyrion convinced Plumm on how he would achieve this still remains a mystery.

==Appearance==
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair. After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref>

==Family==
===Tywin Lannister===
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|550px|Tyrion in discussion with his father]]
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion something his father has never forgiven him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> In his youth he married a common girl. When his father found out he had the girl raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref>

When he 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>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref>

Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building 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>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref>

After [[Joffrey Baratheon|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 [[Oberyn Martell|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 formed mistress. Tyrion killed booth.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref>

The '''finger dance''' is a game played by people from the [[Iron Islands]]. It is played between at least two people and consists of spinning short-hafted axes at each other. One must catch the axe or leap over it without missing a step.

Riverlands

2011-08-01T13:29:10Z

Cmtdrt: /* Andals */

The '''Riverlands''' is the central region of Westeros. It consists of the fertile areas between the forks of the Trident.
Because of its central position in Westeros the Riverlands have seen a lot of fighting. During the war's ruling families have come and gone and the borders of the Riverlands have changed. After [[War of Conquest|the Conquest]] [[Aegon I]] appointed [[House Tully]] as overlord of the Riverlands. Since that time the Riverlands have been more stable.
{| align=right border=1
| [[File:The Riverlands.png|400px|right|The Riverlands with the major strongholds]]
|-
| align="center" | The Riverlands with the major strongholds
|}

==Geography ==
The border between [[The North]] and the Riverlands is the swamp area of [[the Neck]]. To the north-east the Riverlands have access to the "Bite" bay although the area does not seem to have a port. Then mountains further to the east belong to [[the Vale]]. The mouth of the [[Trident]] lies at Saltpans and is part of the Riverlands. To the south of [[Maidenpool]] and [[Gods Eye]] begins the area which is directly ruled by the sovereign. From some way south of God's Eye the border runs south-west to the mountains with Stoney Sept belonging to the Riverlands. The mountains separate the Riverlands from [[the Westerlands]]. Then the border goes north until it reaches the [[Ironman's Bay]].

===Towns===
The Riverlands does not contain any major cities but there are some towns: [[Fairmarket]], [[Lord Harroway's Town]], [[Saltpans]], [[Maidenpool]] and [[Stoney Sept]].

===Rivers===
The Riverlands haven gotten there name because of the number of rivers which are present. The Green Fork and the Red Fork run form the North to the Southwest. A short distance of Lord Harroway's Town they come together to form the Trident. The Red Fork runs from its source in the western mountains to Riverrun where it combines with the Tumblestone. Then it runs to the east and combines with the Trident before it running into see at Saltpans. In the south the Blackwater River runs through a part of the Riverlands.

===Other places===
Noteworthy places in the Riverlands are the old ruins at [[Oldstones]] where in ancient times a Riverland dynasty used to have its castle. God's Eye and the Island of Faces is another important place.

===Accessibility and natural defences===
It seems that the Riverlands only has easily defensible borders in the North (the Neck). Although there are mountains in the east and the west the mountains themselves seem to belong to the Vale and the Westerlands respectively. In the west the heavily fortified castle [[Golden Tooth]] guards the entrance to the Riverlands but belongs it self to the Westerlands.

==Economy ==
In the books the Riverlands are specifically mentioned as fertile. The agriculture flourishes and there are some fisheries along the rivers. The rivers are used for trading and the transport of goods, as it is the easiest way across the Riverlands.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], Jaime</ref>

==History ==
===Before the Andals ===
Before the [[Andal|Andals]] came the [[Children of the forest]] lived in the Riverlands. When the [[First Men]] came the two people fought until a peace was made at the Isle of Faces. The land was divided: the Children would hold the forests and the First Man everything else. The First Man founded the first dynasty of the Riverlands.

===Andals===
Like everywhere else the new invading Andals fought against the First Man and held a specially hatred for the Children. The Andal King Erreg the Kingslayer tried to burn the sacred grove at [[High Heart]]. When the Children tried to stop him they were massacred. The ruling King of the Riverlands at the time of the Andal invasion was Tristifer IV of [[House Mudd]]. He is said to have won 99 out of his 100 battles against the Andals. In the last battle he was killed. His son and successor was not as successful as his father and the Kingdom fell.
 
For a long time the Riverlands were the Kingdom of native Andal dynasties. The last native king was killed by [[the Stormlands|Stormland]] invaders about [[-360 AL|360 years before Aegon's Landing]]. The Stormkings in turn were defeated by the [[House Hoare|Harwyn Hardhand]]. Harwyn's grandson build a great castle [[Harrenhal]] as his capitol. The building of the castle took forty years and a huge amount of resources and money. The same day the castle was finished [[Aegon I]] invaded Westeros at Kingslanding.

===Targaryen era ===
Aegon had already defeated the Stormking and won the [[Field of Fire]] when he attacked Haren. Harren was very unpopular within the Riverlands and as Aegon approached a number of lord rebelled among [[House Tully|Edmyn Tully]] against him Harren thought if he refused battle Aegon would have to siege the castle but Aegon let his dragons attack. The heat produced by the dragons was so great that the castle burned and melted. In the fire Harren and his children died. After his victory Aegon raised Edmyn Tully as lord paramount of the Riverlands as a sub kingdom below the sovereignty of the Targaryens.

===Robert's Rebellion ===
After Robert rebellion started [[Hoster Tully]] took the side of the rebel's. He was already connected with them through the engagement of his daughter Catelyn with [[Brandon Stark]] who was executed by [[Aerys II]]. He had his daughter married to Brandon's younger brother [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] and his younger daughter, [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]], with [[Jon Arryn]]. A number of his vassals remained loyal to the Targaryen's: [[House Darry|Darry]], [[House Ryger|Ryger]], and [[House Goodbrook|Goodbrook]].

===War of the Five Kings ===
:{{main|War of the Five Kings}}
The Riverlands were hard hit during the war. It started with raiders under command of [[Gregor Clegane]]. When a party under command of [[Beric Dondarrion]] went to the Riverlands to find and kill the attackers they were ambushed by them. Then the attackers resumed their killing and plundering.
A second phase set in as Jaime Lannister defeated a Riverland army under command of [[Edmure Tully]] and besieged [[Riverrun]]. Because Riverrun was surrounded by the Tumblestone and the Red Fork Jaime Lannister had to set up three camps to make an effective siege. A Northern army under [[Robb Stark]] moved near undetected and was able to defeat the different camps in turn liberating Edmure Tully and taking Jaime Lannister prisoner.
Another Lannister army was still in the Riverlands, south of the Red Fork and was able to kill and plunder at will. Some castles were conquered (Harrenhal), others were sacked (Darry).
In revenge the army of Robb Stark invaded the Westerlands. 
After the [[Red Wedding]] the Riverland lord surrendered. Most were welcomed again in the King's peace. But the Tully’s were disposed of Riverrun and the over lordship of the Riverlands. Even thought the war had ended outlaw bands and broken man still roam the Riverlands. Some officially fighting in the name of [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]] but most killing at will.

'''Asha Greyjoy''' is the daughter of [[Balon Greyjoy]] and his wife, [[Alannys Harlaw|Alannys]]. She is fierce and proud, and defies traditional ironborn gender roles by commanding her own ship, the ''[[Black Wind]]'', and leading men into battle.

==History==
Asha was fairly unattractive in her youth. After [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]]'s departure for [[Winterfell]] to be [[Eddard Stark]]'s hostage and ward, Asha became Balon's only remaining child in Pyke. Asha grew into an attractive and bold young woman, and Balon effectively raised her as his heir. She lost her virtue at sixteen to a sailor from [[Lys]].<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 11|Chapter 11]], The Kraken's Daughter</ref>

==Recent Events==
===A Clash of Kings===
Upon [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]]'s return Asha was reported to be on [[Great Wyk]] taking messages for her father. Asha passed herself off as Esgred, a shipwright's wife, and flirted with him to learn his nature. Theon's naive arrogance amused her, but Theon grew angry at Asha's deception and her position. At a feast that night, Asha took the place of honor beside [[Balon Greyjoy|Balon]], making Theon feel cheated. When he confronted her again about her deception, she claimed that she did in fact have a husband, hefting an axe, as well as a suckling babe, retrieving a dagger from between her breasts.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Theon</ref>

For her part in Balon's invasion, Asha commanded thirty longships and conquered [[Deepwood Motte]]. She visited Theon after he took [[Winterfell]], but refused to stay and help him defend the castle.

===A Feast for Crows===
She returned to the isles after Balon's death to claim the [[Seastone Chair]]. With the proposal to make peace with the mainland in exchange for land, she achieved a surprising amount of support at the [[Kingsmoot]], but the crowd ultimately favored [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron]]. She departed again shortly thereafter, her plans unclear.

==Appearance==

The '''Sons of the Harpy''' is the name of a group of [[Ghis]]cari from the city of [[Meereen]]. They are suspected of being noble Meereense families who oppose [[Daenerys]] and her occupation of their city.

==Recent Events==
===A Dance with Dragons===
Since she conquered Meereen, the Sons have been fighting a shadow war against Daenerys' forces, slaying freedmen, [[Unsullied]] and [[Shavepates]]. Groups of Harpies attack lone individuals at night and draw a harpy in blood of the victim near the murder scene. They are suspected of belonging to the Houses of Zhak, Pahl and Merreq.
The Sons threaten the family of anyone who offers aid to Daenerys. Many of Daenerys' advisors suspect the Sons are being led and organised by a leader known as "The Harpy".

{{See homonyms | Viserys Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

'''Viserys Targaryen''', called the '''Beggar King''', was the heir of his father [[Aerys II]] and brother [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]] before [[Robert's Rebellion]] turned him into an exile. Though he styled himself a king, he died without ever sitting the [[Iron Throne]].

==Appearance==
Viserys has the silver-blonde hair and purple eyes of [[House Targaryen]], and a hard, gaunt face.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Daenerys</ref>

==Family==
{{Targaryen_tree_now}}

==History==
Viserys was a young boy at the time of Robert's Rebellion. When Rhaegar was defeated upon the Trident, he and his pregnant mother were evacuated to Dragonstone. After the birth of Daenerys, which caused the death of his mother, and the end of the war, Viserys and his sister were smuggled to [[Braavos]] by the loyalist Ser [[Willem Darry]], where they lived under Willem's protection until his death. Willem's servants evicted the Targaryens, forcing them to wander the Free Cities as guests of powerful citizens. Their welcome eventually faded, and they were forced to sell off their posessions to survive. When Viserys sold his mother's crown, men started calling him "The Beggar King". While his relationship with his sister was initially warm, Viserys grew to resent Daenerys for killing their mother during birth, and began treating her poorly. He would frequently warn her not to "wake the dragon" and incite his anger.

In [[Pentos]], Viserys met [[Illyrio Mopatis]], who took an interest in returning Viserys to the [[Iron Throne]] in return for rewards upon his ascension. Illyrio and Viserys arranged a marriage between Daenerys and [[Khal Drogo]], a powerful [[Dothraki]] horselord who promised Viserys 10,000 men to conquer the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Drogo delayed on his promise, however, and Viserys grew increasingly insistent on making a start to the invasion. He tried to browbeat Daenerys into persuading Drogo, but with her new position of authority she began standing up for herself. After trying to hit Daenerys, she had his horse taken away so Viserys rode in a cart; a taboo amongst Dothraki, earning himself the mocking nickname "the Sorefoot King". At [[Vaes Dothrak]], Viserys got drunk and again insisted that Drogo give him his crown. After Viserys drew a sword and threatened Daenerys's unborn child, Drogo melted down a golden belt and upended the pot over Viserys's head, fatally "crowning" him.

'''Viserys II''' (+/- [[120 AL]] - [[172 AL]]) was a King of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. He was the brother of [[Aegon III]] and son of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]. He ascended the throne after the deaths of Aegon's sons.

==History==
Viserys is not remembered fondly in Westeros as some accuse him of poisoning his nephew Baelor I to gain the throne and doing nothing once he gained it. In truth, Viserys as [[Hand of the King|Hand]] to the former kings was instrumental in keeping the realm intact while Daeron warred and Baelor prayed. Viserys reigned for a year, but he truly ruled and preserved the land for much longer.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 59|Chapter 59]], Sansa</ref>

==Family==
{{Template:Targaryen tree Viserys}}

==Appearance==
According to a semi-canon source, Viserys II was clean-shaven with long hair. He had a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows and a shrewd, calculating look to him. He wore the simple crown of Aegon III.<ref>Targaryen Kings. (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref>

'''Viserys I''' was the king of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] and head of [[House Targaryen]]. He ruled from [[Years after Aegon's Landing#Year 129 after Aegon's Landing|103 AL]] to [[Years after Aegon's Landing#Year 129 after Aegon's Landing|129 AL]]. He succeeded his grandfather, [[Jaehaerys I]].

==History==
He had three children by his first wife, but only one, his daughter [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], lived until adulthood.<ref>Good Queen Alysanne and Rhaenyra. (June 18, 2006) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1604/ So Spake Martin]</ref> Therefore Viserys decided she should succeed him. He taught her how to rule and made her part of his [[small council]]. Later in life he married again, to a [[House Hightower|Hightower]] and had several sons 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, a decision he left in his will.

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

==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>

Sailor's Wife/Theories

2011-07-29T15:58:41Z

Cmtdrt:

{{Theory_Policy}}

The [[Sailor's Wife]] theory is that her real husband was a [[House Lannister|Lannister]].

==Theory==
The basis of this idea is that her daughter is named [[Lanna (Happy Port)|Lanna]]<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34]], Cat of the Canals</ref> which is the feminine form of the name [[Lann]] from which the family name is derived.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Cersei</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Appendix|Appendix]]</ref> Her daughter has golden hair, a trait of the [[House Lannister|
Lannister]]'s.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34]], Cat of the Canals</ref>

Her husband is thought to be ether [[Tyrion Lannister]] or [[Gerion Lannister]].

===Tyrion Lannister===
If this was true she would be his first wife [[Tysha]]. The information supporting that is that Lanna is the right age to be a daughter of that marriage and acording to her statment that she was the same age as Lanna when she gave birth she would be the right age to be Tysha.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34]], Cat of the Canals</ref> Her working in a whorehouse supports the the statement [[Tywin Lannister]] made before he died when he said she was "Wherever whore go."<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref>

====Difficulty with this====
* Tyrion was not a sailor
* why she is in [[Braavos]]
* Tyrion is not dead as [[Yna]] predicts.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34]], Cat of the Canals</ref>

===Gerion Lannister===

He could be the husband because he was a sailor and is dead.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Appendix|Appendix]]</ref> He has been to Braavos.

Jon Snow/Theories

2011-07-29T15:58:05Z

Cmtdrt:

{{Theory_Policy}}

== R + L = J ==

Many readers believe that Jon is not the son of [[Eddard Stark]]. Instead, he is the son of [[House Stark#Lyanna|Lyanna Stark]] and [[House Targaryen#Rhaegar|Prince Rhaegar Targayen]]. Rhaegar and Lyanna disappeared and are believed to have spent some time together at the [[Tower of Joy]] early in the war that brought down [[House Targaryen]].

At the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]], about one year later, Eddard and his companions found three of the [[Kingsguard]] there: namely [[Gerold Hightower|Lord Commander Ser Gerold Hightower]], [[Oswell Whent|Ser Oswell Whent]], and [[Arthur Dayne|Ser Arthur Dayne]]. The reason for their presence and the ensuing fight are unknown. The only known survivors were Eddard himself and [[Howland Reed]]. Eddard found his sister dying "in a bed of blood," where he made her an unknown promise before she died.

Gregor Clegane/Theories

2011-07-29T15:57:47Z

Cmtdrt:

{{Theory_Policy}}

==Gregor Clegane is Qyburn's undefeatable champion==
[[Qyburn]] claimed to be creating an undefeatable champion and ordered a massive suit of armor to fit this champion. He also claimed to have a better understanding of anatomy than anyone else, so it is possible that he could have created a Frankenstein's Monster-like creature out of Gregor Clegane's parts. In life, Gregor was the largest and strongest man known to exist in the world. Qyburn was allowed to experiment on Gregor before he died. There has been no mention of what happened to Gregor's body after his assumed death. It is possible that the skull sent to [[Doran Martell]] was a fake, but it is also possible that Qyburn's creation has no head, or a head without a skull. In one of his visions, [[Bran Stark]] saw a "giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood." Bran may have seen Qyburn's undefeatable champion, a giant, unnatural man without a head, while the stone armor may be a reference to the massive armor Qyburn has commissioned.

They tried to rob Bran. Suddenly Robb, [[Summer]] and [[Grey Wind]] came back to get Bran and there was a fight. Grey Wind killed Wallen and one of the unnamed wildlings. Robb killed a wildling wearing an axe and disarmed Osha. Hali was killed by Summer. Stiv then held a dagger to Bran's throat and demanded that Robb kill the direwolves. Robb hesitated but before he could act [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]] killed Stiv with a well-placed arrow.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Bran</ref>

==In the TV series==
In the TV series all members of the group are killed by Robb and Theon and not by the direwolves with the exception of Osha who in both the book and the TV series is the only survivor.<ref>[[Game of Thrones]], [[A Golden Crown|Episode 6: A Golden Crown]]</ref>

[[A Wiki of Ice and Fire]] is a [[w:wiki|wiki]], meaning that anyone can '''edit''' any page and improve articles immediately for all readers. You need to register at the [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/ A Song of Ice and Fire Forum] to do this.
==Editing==
Editing most A Wiki of Ice and Fire pages is easy. Simply click on the "'''edit'''" tab at the top of A Wiki of Ice and Fire page (or on a [[w:Wikipedia: Section|section-edit link]]). This will bring you to a new page with a [[w:text box]] containing the editable text of the current page. [[Image:How to edit a page Edit box.png|thumb|600px|center|alt=Text in a large rectangle next to a scrollbar. It starts with a line "==Editing==", then a line "Editing most A Wiki of Ice and Fire pages is easy. Simply click on the '''edit this page''' tab at the top...", and then about 30 more lines.|Edit box showing the [[w:Help:wiki markup|wiki markup]] for this page. You can see the markup for a level-two heading, and bold-face.]] In this box, you can type in the text that you want to add, using [[w:Help:wiki markup|wiki markup]] to format the text and add other elements like images and tables. The [[w:Help:Edit toolbar|toolbar]] above the text box can help with formatting. A [[w:Wikipedia:Cheatsheet|quick reference]] to wiki markup can be opened in a new window by clicking 'Editing help', found near the 'save page' button. Never start a line with a leading space unless you want the special formatting it causes. Paragraphs can be separated with a blank line. When you have finished editing, you should write a short [[w:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the [[w:Wikipedia:Edit_summary_legend|legend]]. To see how the page looks with your edits, press the "'''Show preview'''" button. To see the differences between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page, press the "'''Show changes'''" button. If you're satisfied with what you see, '''[[Wikipedia:Be bold|be bold]]''' and press the "'''Save page'''" button. Your changes will immediately be visible to all Wikipedia users. [[Image:Edit commands.PNG|frame|left|alt=A four-line window. The top line says "Edit summary (Briefly describe the changes you have made)". The second line is a blank input area. The third is one checkbox for "This is a minor edit" and another for "Watch this page". The last line contains buttons "Save page", "Show preview", "Save Changes", and a non-button "Cancel".|Edit commands]] Note: Do not sign the Edit Summary line with your <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> signature as it does not work here.

===Talk (discussion) pages===
Talk pages are similar to articles in that they also have a "new section" tab to start a new section or edit the whole page.

===Minor edits===
A check to the "minor edit" box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the version with your edit and the previous version: typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, etc. A ''minor edit'' is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute.

=== Major edits ===

All editors are encouraged to be bold, but there are several things that a user can do to ensure that major edits are performed smoothly. Before engaging in a major edit, a user should consider discussing proposed changes on the article discussion/talk page. Once the edit has been completed, the inclusion of an [[w:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] will assist in documenting the changes. These steps will help all to ensure that major edits are well received by the Wikipedia community.  A major edit should be reviewed to confirm that it is consensual to all concerned editors. Therefore, any change that affects the ''meaning'' of an article is major (not minor), even if the edit is a single word.  There are no necessary terms to which you have to agree when doing major edits, but the recommendations above have become best practice. If you do it your own way, the likelihood of your edits being reedited may be higher.   When performing a large edit, it is suggested you periodically, and before pressing 'save page', copy your edits into an external text editor (preferably one without formatting, such as [[w:Notepad (Windows)|Notepad]]). This ensures that in the case of a browser crash you will not lose your work.  If you are adding substantial amounts of work, it is also a good idea to save changes in stages.

==Wiki markup==
{{main|w:Help:Wiki markup}}

Wiki markup is the extra information (apart from the text which will be displayed) you enter in the edit window which tells the [[w:MediaWiki]] software how to display, categorize and process the article.
