'''Ny Sar''' is a ruined city on [[Essos]], that lies at the confluence of the [[Rhoyne]] and the [[Noyne]] rivers. It was later destroyed by the Valyrians.

Ny Sar was the capital of the Rhoynar, one of the many Rhoynish cities left in ruins following the [[Rhoynar Invasion|Valyrian invasion]], that forced many of them to flee to [[Dorne]].{{Ref|aDwD|14}} Its port that once saw hundreds of ships of all sizes sail into the harbor. Today ruins of [[Nymeria]] palace, their warrior queen, is all that is remained, a colossal palace of pink and green marble, its collapsed domes and broken spires looming large above a row of covered archways.{{Ref|aDwD|22}}

'''Edric Storm''' is the [[bastardy|bastard]] son of King [[Robert Baratheon]] and [[Delena Florent]].

==Appearance==
Edric is a sturdily attractive youth, with coal-black hair and deep blue eyes. He is said to be "the very image" of his father, although he also has the large ears common to [[House Florent]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref><ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 54|Chapter 54]], Davos</ref>

==History==
Robert and Delena conceived Edric on the wedding night of [[Stannis Baratheon]] and [[Selyse Florent]], in the couple's own wedding bed. Stannis saw this as a blight upon his honor, so he sent him to Storm's End, to his other uncle, Lord [[Renly Baratheon]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 35|Chapter 35]], Eddard</ref> As Delena was nobly born, Edric Storm was acknowledged by his father.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 30|Chapter 30]], Eddard</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref> He was reared in relative comfort at [[Storm's End]] under the guardianship of Ser [[Cortnay Penrose]], Lord Renly's [[w:castellan|castellan]], who was very fond of him.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Catelyn</ref>

Edric was sent a gift from his father every year on his [[Nameday|nameday]], a pony one year, a sable cloak the next, once even a miniature warhammer similar to the one his father used. Edric would then write to [[King's Landing]] full of thanks to his father for the gifts, at which which point Robert would laugh and ask Varys what was sent. It turns out that [[Varys]] was responsible for the gifts and sent the lad a present every year in his fathers name.

When Stannis [[Siege of Storm's End (299)|besieged]] Storm's End, Cortnay Penrose resisted in fear of what Stannis would do to Edric.

Talk:Gendry

2013-02-23T12:19:23Z

GreenHand: /* Gendry's age/birth? */ new section

=Gendry "Waters"?=
C'mon, Gendry never really referred in the books as "Gendry Waters" and he is not even aware of his bastardy nor anyone around him. [[User:Mugag|Mugag]]
::It does not matter if he is aware of his bastardy. His appearence in the books is as son of [[Robert Baratheon]]. That means he is more then just Gendry. So the article should reflect that. Compare this with wikipedia; there are articles about people who are referenced with a title that nobody knew where they were living.
::As the formal name for a bastard in the King's Landing area is Water my preference is Gendry Waters. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 12:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

==Moved Page==
Yeah, just Gendry makes more sense to me. So I moved it. A redirect will still be located at the Gendry Waters page. Thanks! [[User:Jediphilb|Jediphilb]]

== Place of Death? ==

On the top right hand side where it should be "Date of birth" is says "Date of Death"

Place of Death-Around 285 AL

Just noticed that, and figured it should be brought up.

== Gendry's age/birth? ==

Why has Gendry's age been entered as "around 285 AL"?
The only indication I found of his age is Ned's observation in A Game of Thrones that Gendry appeared to be about the same age as Robb (AGOT, Chapter 27, EDDARD VI). Robb's year of birth is well established as 283 AL, since there is a limited window before Robert's Rebellion for Robb's conception.
Gendry's age is significant to the narrative because it establishes him as the oldest male among Robert Baratheon's bastards (older than Edric Storm).
Shouldn't Gendry date of birth be "around 283 AL"?

Quiet Isle

2013-02-23T11:07:37Z

GreenHand: /* The Path of Faith */

The '''Quiet Isle''' is an upthrust island that sits at the mouth of the river [[Trident]] where it flows into the [[Bay of Crabs]]. It is a refuge for those sworn to the [[Faith of the Seven]]. <ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Brienne</ref> The isle lies across the river to the south of [[Saltpans]]. Thick mudflats surround the island when the tide goes out. When the tide is in the brothers use a ferry to get to the mainland. Thus far [[War of the Five Kings|the latest war]] has not come to the Quiet Isle. Septon [[Meribald]], [[Brienne]] of [[Tarth]] and her companions visit the island during her quest to find [[Sansa Stark]].
==Island Refuge==
Those who dwell on the Quiet Isle are male penitents. They seek to atone for their sins through contemplation, prayer, and silence. The brothers on the isle wear brown-and-dun robes, with wide bell sleeves and pointed cowls. Many brothers wind lengths of wool about the lower halves of their faces as well, so that all that can be seen of them are their eyes.

[[Elder Brother]] keeps the worst of the tidings from outside to himself, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the septry. Many of the brothers came to the isle to escape the horrors of the world, not to dwell upon them.

==About==
The isle’s septry stands upon the Quiet Isle, half a mile from the shore, where the wide mouth of the [[Trident]] widens further still to kiss the [[Bay of Crabs]]. When the tide goes out it goes out swiftly, the receding water leaves behind a board expanse of glistening brown mudfalts dotted by tidal pools that glitter like golden coins in the afternoon sun. Even from the other side of the shore [[Brienne]] notices that the Quiet Isle’s prosperity is apparent.

The Quiet Isle’s slopes are covered with terraced fields, with fishponds down below and a windmill above, its wood-and-sailcloth blades turn slowly in the breeze off the bay. Sheep graze on the hillside and storks wade in the shallow waters around the ferry landing. There is a whitewashed stable with a thatched roof.

The top of the hill has a low wall of unmortared stone encircling a cluster of buildings and a windmill.
The wooden sept has leaded glass windows and wide doors carved with the likenesses of the Mother and Father and a seven-sided steeple. <ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Brienne</ref>

Only the [[Elder Brother]] and his proctors are permitted to speak on the island and the proctors only one day in seven. A vow of silence is an act of contrition, a sacrifice by which they prove their devotion to the Seven above. The brothers are allowed to break their silence when confessing – it is hard to speak of sin with signs and nods. Septon [[Meribald]] takes confession when he visits the isle.

Occasionally some visitors are allowed to stay on the island, some are women who are sick, hurt or with child. <ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Brienne</ref>
==The Path of Faith==
To get to the island from the mainland by foot you have to cross the mudflats when the tide is out. Only the faithful may cross safely. The wicked are swallowed by the quicksands, or drowned when the tide comes rushing in. Septon [[Meribald]] tells his companions to be careful where they set their feet, and to walk only where he walks, and they shall reach to the other side.

[[Brienne]] notes that path of faith is a crooked one. Although the island seems to rise northeast of where they leave the shore Septon Meribald starts due east, toward the deeper waters of the bay, which shimmer blue and silver in the distance. The soft brown mud squishes up between his toes. As he walks he pauses from time to time to probe ahead with his quarterstaff.

Brienne follows closely. A hundred yards out Meribald turned abruptly towards the south, so that his back is almost towards the septry. He proceeds in that direction for another 100 yards, leading them between two shallow tidal pools. Ser Hyle comments that they seem to be walking every way but towards the isle, however Septon [[Meribald]] urges,
{{Quote|Faith….Believe, persist, and follow, and we shall find the peace we seek.}}
They are met by three brothers when they reach to the other side.

==The Slope==
Brother [[Narbert]] leads Septon [[Meribald]] and his companions along a pebbled path and through a grove of apple trees to a whitewashed stable with a peaked that roof. The stable is more than three quarters empty. At one end are half a dozen mules and to the far end, well away from the other animals [[Driftwood|a huge black stallion]].

The slope is steeper than it looks from across the mudflats. To ease it the brothers have erected a flight of wooden steps that wander back and forth across the hillside and amongst the buildings.

Brienne pass a dozen bothers of the order on their way up, they speak no word of greeting. There is a summer arbour which produces small, tart grapes, but make drinkable wine. The brothers brew their own ale as well, and their mead and cider are far famed.

==The Brow of the Hill==
The brow of the hill is crowned by a low wall of unmortatred stone, encircling a cluster of large buildings:
*A windmill - its sails creek as they turn
*The cloisters - where the brothers sleep on pallets
*The common hall - where the brothers take their meals
*A wooden sept - for prayer and meditation, the sept has windows of leaded glass, wide doors carved with the likeness of the Mother and the Father, and a seven-sided steeple with a walk on top

Behind the sept is a vegetable garden where [[Brienne]] spies some of the older brothers pulling weeds. Brother Narbert leads the visitors around a chestnut tree to a wooden door set in the side of the hill – called “the Hermit’s Hole”.

==Hermit's Hole==
The Hermit's Hole is a cave is located in the side of a hill with a wooden door at its entrance. It is the original residence of the first holy man to live on the Quiet Isle roughly 2,000 years before the events of [[A Song of Ice and Fire]]. Currently [[Elder Brother]] occupies the cave.

When Brienne and her companions enter the hermit’s hole to meet the [[Elder Brother]] it is a warm, snug sanctum. Woolen carpets cover the ground, tapestries cover the walls. Tall beeswax candles give more than ample light. The furnishings are strange but simple. A long table, a settle, a chest, several tall cases full of books and chairs. All are made of driftwood, oddly shaped pieces cunningly joined together and polished till they shine a deep gold in the candlelight. There are cups carved from driftwood, no two are the same.

==Women’s Cottages==
Although women do not live on the Quiet Isle they are allowed on the Quiet Isle. There are some modest cottages set aside for the women who visit the isle, be they noble ladies or common village girls. The cottages are not often used but the brothers keep them clean and dry. On the Quiet Isle men and women do not sleep beneath the same roof unless they are wed.

The women’s cottages are on the east side of the isle, looking out over a broad expanse of mud and the distant waters of the [[Bay of Crabs]]. It is colder on the east side than on the sheltered side and wilder. The hill is steeper and the path meanders back and forth through weeds and briars, wind carved rocks, and twisted, thorny trees that cling tenaciously to the stony hillside. Prior to the sack of [[Saltpans]] the towns fires could be seen across the bay on a clear night. The cottages look like beehives made of stone, low and rounded, windowless with smokeholes in the center of their roofs.

[[Brienne]] has to duck her head when entering hers to keep from banging her head against the lintel. Inside she finds a dirt floor, a straw pallet, furs and blankets to keep her warm, a basin of water, a flagon of cider, some bread and cheese, a small fire and two low chairs.

==Flotsam and Jetsam==
Where the river meets the bay, the currents and tides wrestle, one against the other, and many strange and wondrous things are pushed toward the Quiet Isle. Driftwood is the least of it. The brothers have found silver cups, iron pots, sacks of wool and bolts of silk, rusted helms and shining swords and rubies. So far six rubies have been found, the brothers are waiting for the seventh. Not all the rivers gifts are pleasant, the brothers collect the dead as well. Drowned cows, drowned deer, dead pigs swollen up to half the size of horses and corpses. Rivermen, westermen, northmen. [[Knight]]s and knaves alike.
==Food production==
The brothers provide themselves with their own food and appear to be quite self-sufficient in that regard. Bread, fresh churned butter, honey, a thick stew of crabs are served when [[Brienne]] is there.
==Recent Events==
===A Feast for Crows===
[[Brienne of Tarth|Brienne]], Septon [[Meribald]], [[Podrick Payne]] and Ser [[Hyle Hunt]] visit the island. There they speak with the [[Elder Brother]] and have a discussion on the war and what happened at Saltpans. After the others leave, the Elder Brother and Brienne discuss Brienne's mission and why she has to find [[Sansa Stark]].<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Brienne</ref>

Valyrian steel

2012-06-05T13:03:59Z

GreenHand: /* List of known Valyrian steel blades */ Added the dragonbone dagger carried by Bran's failed assassin

'''Valyrian steel''' is a magical alloy invented in [[Valyria]] and used to make [[armament|weapons]] of unparalleled quality. It is the spells and magic that make the steel special.<ref name=Producing/> Valyrian steel blades are lighter, stronger, and sharper than even the best castle-forged steel, and feature distinctive rippled patterns similar to [[wikipedia:Damascus steel|Damascus steel]]. Most Valyrian steel blades in [[Westeros]] are treasured heirlooms of noble houses, each with its own name and storied history. It is likely that most of the Valyrian steel swords were brought to westros by the Targaryens, after the [[Doom of Valyria]].

Only the greatest weaponsmiths can reforge swords from existing Valyrian steel, but the secret of creating such an alloy was apparently [[Doom of Valyria|lost with Valyria]], making those remaining weapons highly treasured and extremely rare. The blacksmiths of [[Qohor]] claim to know how to reforge Valyrian steel, and [[Tobho Mott]] did reforge [[Ice]] at the request of the Lannisters, in [[King's Landing]].

==List of known Valyrian steel blades==

'''Known to still exist:'''

*[[Widow's Wail]], One of two Valyrian blades reforged by [[Tobho Mott]] from [[Ice]]. The blade was made for King [[Joffrey Baratheon]] as a wedding gift by his father [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]]. Where it was given its name from the shouted suggestion of an unnamed guest. Following Joffrey's death, ownership of Widow's Wail has presumably passed to King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]].

*[[Oathkeeper]], One of two Valyrian blades reforged by Tobho Mott from Ice. The blade was made for Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], but he has given it to [[Brienne of Tarth]] for use in her quest to locate Sansa Stark. The blade was given its name, Oathkeeper, at that time.

*[[Heartsbane]], the ancestral two handed greatsword of [[House Tarly]], currently in the possession of [[Randyll Tarly]].
*[[Longclaw]], the ancestral Valyrian steel bastard sword of [[House Mormont]]. Currently in the possession of [[Jon Snow]].
*[[Lady Forlorn]], the ancestral sword of [[House Corbray]], it is currently in the possession of [[Lyn Corbray]].
*[[Red Rain]], the ancestral sword of [[House Drumm]].
*[[Nightfall]], the ancestral blade of [[House Harlaw]] and currently wielded by [[Harras Harlaw]].
*The dagger with dragonbone hilt wielded by [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark's]] failed assassin, and currently in the possession of [[Petyr Baelish]].

'''Known fate:'''
*[[Ice]], the ancestral two handed greatsword of [[House Stark]]. Following [[Eddard Stark]]'s execution in King's Landing, it was melted down and reforged into two longswords(those being [[Widow's Wail]] and [[Oathkeeper]]).

'''Unknown fate:'''
*[[Blackfyre]], the sword of [[Aegon I Targaryen]]. Carried by all [[Targaryen]] kings till [[Aegon IV]] who gave it to his bastard [[Daemon Blackfyre]] who rose in rebellion against the Targaryens, taking the sword's name for his house. Its whereabouts are currently unknown.
*[[Brightroar]], the ancestral sword of [[House Lannister]], lost when King [[Tommen II Lannister]] of the Rock sailed to Valyria and never returned.
*[[Dark Sister]], the sword wielded by [[Visenya Targaryen]]. The last known owner was [[Bloodraven]].

GreenHand: /* Crowns of the Kings in the North */

Crowns are worn as a symbol of royal or elevated office, especially kings. Rulers in many cultures, such as a [[King-Beyond-the-Wall]] who may rule the [[Wildlings]] or [[Free Folk]], wear no crowns.

==Notable omissions==
It may be noted that although [[Robert Baratheon|Robert I Baratheon]] was the 18th King on the [[Iron Throne]] no mention is made of his crown. It is likely that each line of kings to preside over each of the many kingdoms that emerged throughout the history of [[Westeros]] bore a crown of some description.

Warrior's Sons

2012-05-01T17:52:00Z

GreenHand: "In tales" removed. Is their reputation as Sorcerors, Dragonslayers and Demonhunters only in stories or in the collective oral memory? ...

[[File:Minifdg.png|thumb|150px|Warrior's Sons COA]]

The '''Holy Order of Warrior's Sons''' are an order of [[Knight]]s sworn to the [[Faith of the Seven]]. They are part of the [[Faith Militant]] which are known as the Swords and Stars. They only answer and obey the [[High Septon]] and him alone as they believe the High Septon speaks for the Seven on the world.

Only an anointed Knight can join this order. Most of the Warrior's Sons are comprised of former hedge and household Knights but some are of higher birth such as older lords who wish to atone for there old sins or younger sons. Some Lords even renounce titles, castles and lands to serve the Warrior's Sons and the Seven. The Warrior's Sons duties are often to protect Holy Septs or to escort the devout safely across the land protecting them from brigands and the unfaithful.

They wear inlaid silver armor over hair shirts, rainbow cloaks, and swords with star-shaped crystals in their pommels. They developed a reputation for fanaticism and implacable hatred for enemies of the Faith, they see any who worship other gods as false and evil. They are said to have been holy men, ascetics, sorcerers, dragonslayers and demonhunters.{{ref|affc|28}}

The order has not existed in the realm since [[Jaehaerys I]], however after [[War of the Five Kings]] in [[300 AL]] the ruling King [[Tommen Baratheon]] under the edict of his mother and [[Regent]] [[Cersei Lannister]] overturned the law forbidding Holy men from being armed and the order was reborn.

Over a hundred knights have so far pledged there swords and lives to the Warrior's Sons and obey the new High Septon known by many as the [[High Sparrow]].

==Known members==
* Ser [[Theodan Wells|Theodan the True]] named Commander of the Warrior's Sons.

'''House Kettleblack''' is a noble house. According to semi-canon sources they blazon their arms with a black kettle on red, a border of orles.<ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/1/#In the area of King's Landing]</ref>

**Ser [[Osmund Kettleblack]], his son, a member of the [[Kingsguard]].
**Ser [[Osfryd Kettleblack]], his son.
**Ser [[Osney Kettleblack]], his son.

==References in the books==
===A Song of Ice and Fire===

* Tyrion uses the Kettleblack brothers to spy on [[Cersei Lannister]], who was trying to buy her own force of sellswords.
* Ser Osmund is named to the [[Kingsguard]] to replace Ser [[Boros Blount]].
* Ser Osmund is assigned to guard [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]] during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].
* Osfryd became the captain of Cersei's new red cloak guard and remained with the Queen during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].
* Osney and Osfryd received their knighthoods after the Battle of the Blackwater.
* Oswell rowed Ser [[Dontos Hollard]] and [[Sansa Stark]] out to the waiting ship the night she escaped from [[King's Landing]].
* Ser Osmund was called as a witness for the prosecution in the trial of Tyrion Lannister for the death of King Joffrey. His testimony was entirely made up.
* While the Kingsguard met in the [[Red Keep#White Sword Tower|White Sword Tower]], Ser Osney and Ser Osfryd guarded [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I]].

* Oswell was at [[Gulltown]] when the ''[[Merling King]]'' docked and learned some interesting information which he shared with [[Littlefinger]].
* Osfryd was named as the new Commander of the [[City Watch of King's Landing]] after the departure of Ser [[Addam Marbrand]].
* Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] plotted with Osney, telling him to seduce [[Margaery Tyrell]] and then confess to the High Septon. As punishment, Cersei would make sure he was sent to the [[Wall]] where he was to kill [[Jon Snow]]. However the plan went awry when the High Septon had Osney tortured and Osney confessed to sleeping with Cersei.
* After Cersei's imprisonment by the [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]], Ser Osfryd was removed from the position of Commander of the City Watch and replaced by [[Humfrey Waters]].

The first went missing (and its wearer killed) during the [[Riot of King's Landing]].{{ref|acok|41}} The second was a gift to the Faith and new High Septon from [[Tywin Lannister]] (the then [[Hand of the King]]) and much taller and more elaborate than the previous crown.{{ref|asos|60}} This second crown was sold by the faith, ostensibly to feed the hungry, when the next High Septon (known as the [[High Sparrow]]) assumed the position. This second crown is estimated (by [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]) to add one and a half feet to the wearers height.{{ref|affc|7}}

==Crowns in history and legend==
*The [[Falcon Crown]] worn by the Kings of the [[Vale|Vale of Arryn]] wore before the [[War of Conquest]].{{ref|affc|10}}

*Garth Greenhand, the first of the [[House Gardener|Gardener Kings]] that ruled [[The Reach]] before the [[War of Conquest]] wore a crown of vines and flowers.{{ref|agot|Appendix}}

*A crown of seven stars pulled down from the heavens by [[Faith of the Seven|the Father]] made flesh, was worn by [[Hugor of the Hill]], the first king of [[Andalos]].{{ref|adwd|5}}

 

==Notable omissions==
It may be noted that although [[Robert Baratheon|Robert I Baratheon]] was the 18th King on the [[Iron Throne]] no mention is made of his crown. It is likely that each line of kings to preside over each of the many kingdoms that emerged throughout the history of [[Westeros]] bore a crown of some description.

'''Daeron II''' , known as '''Daeron the Good''', was a king of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. His half-brother challenged his rule and the result was a terrible [[House Targaryen#Succession:House Blackfyre|civil war]]. The war was mostly won by his sons and his other half-brother [[Brynden Rivers|Bloodraven]]. Daeron died during [[the Great Spring Sickness]] in {{Date|209}}.

==Appearance==
According to a semi-canon source, Daeron was dignified. He had a kind face, a pot-belly and thin legs, he was not a warrior. He wore his father's crown.<ref> Targaryen Kings. November 1, 2005 [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref> He had rounded shoulders and was spindly.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]]</ref> On his coinage, he was depicted as clean-shaven.<ref>[[The Mystery Knight]]</ref>

==Biography==
Daeron II was acknowledged as the eldest son and heir of [[Aegon IV]] and his sister and wife, [[Naerys Targaryen|Naerys]]. During his life there was some speculation that he was not the son of Aegon but of Aegon's brother [[Aemon Targaryen|Aemon the Dragonknight]]. Named, "the Good," Daeron is credited with bringing [[Dorne]] into the Seven Kingdoms through a dual marriage pact. While still a prince, he married Princess [[Myriah Martell|Myriah of House Martell]], and later his sister [[Daenerys, daughter of Aegon IV|Daenerys]] married Prince [[Maron Martell]], the ruling Prince of Dorne.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Captain of the Guards</ref> Princess Myriah brought many of her native manners and customs with her, and also many Dornish nobles as well, all serving to give life in the [[Red Keep]] a foreign flavor, and alienating many of Daeron's nobles and courtiers.

Daeron was a physically unimpressive man who kept company with maesters and other learned men, which put him at odds with the Westerosi warrior culture.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]]</ref> After ascending to the Iron Throne, Daeron survived a rebellion against his reign led by his half-brother Daemon Blackfyre, later called the Blackfyre Rebellion. Daeron and Myriah had four sons: Baelor Breakspear, Aerys I, Rhaegal, Maekar I, and at least one daughter, Aelinor, who was her brother Aerys's queen. Their eldest son, his heir-apparent, Baelor, the Prince of Dragonstone, served as his father's Hand during the later portion of his reign, and was responsible for the successful resolution of the Blackfyre Rebellion. King Daeron II died during [[the Great Spring Sickness]], along with many of his grandchildren.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]]</ref>

Coldhands/Theories

2011-12-04T21:34:35Z

GreenHand: Add "Night's King"

{{Theory_Policy}}

[[Coldhands]] seems to be a brother of the [[Night's Watch]], because he wears black and calls [[Samwell Tarly|Sam]] "brother." There have been several theories proposing that Coldhands is a dead or missing character who was also a brother of the Night's Watch, including:
* [[Benjen Stark]]
* [[Brynden Rivers|Lord Commander Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers]]
* Ser [[Waymar Royce]]
* [[Will]]
* The [[Night's King]]

== Problems with listed candidates ==
Blodraven is the [[Three-eyed crow]] so cannot also be Coldhands.

The other rangers died only three years before Bran reached the cave of the Last Greenseer, where [[Leaf]] the [[children of the Forest|child of the forest]], states about him: ''"They killed him long ago"''. Three years would not be a long time to a cild of the forest,

The first went missing (and its wearer killed) during the [[Riot of King's Landing]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 41|Chapter 41]], Tyrion IX</ref> The second was a gift to the Faith and new High Septon from [[Tywin Lannister]] (the then [[Hand of the King]]) and much taller and more elaborate than the previous crown. This second crown was sold by the faith, ostensibly to feed the hungry, when the next High Septon assumed the position. This second crown is estimated (by [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]) to add one and a half feet to the wearers height.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Cersei II</ref>

==Notable omissions==
It may be noted that although [[Robert Baratheon|Robert I Baratheon]] was the 18th King on the [[Iron Throne]] no mention is made of his crown. It is likely that each line of kings to preside over each of the many kingdoms that emerged throughout the history of [[Westeros]] bore a crown of some description.
