Measurement

2023-12-16T21:49:07Z

Narwen:

A '''measurement''' is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events.<ref>Definition of "[[w:measurement|measurement]]" as retrieved from Wikipedia on January 26, 2018</ref> Numerous units of measurement are described in ''A Song of Ice and Fire'', primarily their usage in [[Westeros]].

==Overview==
Measurement units in Westeros are non-metric, growing out of [[custom]]ary use and not abstract principles. Westeros appears to have a uniform system of weights and measures, mentioned interchangeably by characters from [[Oldtown]] to [[King's Landing]] or [[Winterfell]].

There are several basic units of measurement<ref group="N">Based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit the defined base units] as determined by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units International System of Units].</ref> that have been described in usage in Westeros: length, weight, and time.
Most other units of measure thus far mentioned in text are units which have been derived from these basic ones, such as area and volume. Additionally, some units of measurements commonly used in the novels are more archaic in their usage; e.g. the term "[[w:Stone (unit)|stone]]" to indicate weight{{Ref|aGoT|4}} and the term "[[w:League (unit)|league]]" to indicate distance.{{Ref|aGoT|21}}

Units of plane angle are apparently also the same in Westeros: a circle is divided up into 360 "degrees". Thus, for example, during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion gives the instruction to swing the catapults "30 degrees west".{{Ref|aCoK|59}}

==Units of measurement==
===Units of length===
The following units of length have been described:
*Inches{{refn|group="N"|E.g.,"''Bran looked down. There was a narrow ledge beneath the window, only a few inches wide.''"{{ref|agot|8}}}}
*Feet{{refn|group="N"|E.g.,"''Six and a half feet tall, he towered over lesser men, and when he donned his armor and the great antlered helmet of his House, he became a veritable giant.''"{{ref|agot|4}}}}
*Yards{{refn|group="N"|E.g.,"''A few yards from her tent was a bed of soft grass."''{{ref|agot|23}}}}
*Miles{{Ref|aGoT|21}}
*Leagues{{Ref|aGoT|21}} (equal to three miles)<ref>Wikipedia: [[w:League (unit)|League (unit)]]</ref><ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/2787 Size of Westeros (April 17, 2008)]</ref>

===Units of area measurement===
The following units of area measurement have been described:
*Acres{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''It was a dark, primal place, three acres of old forest untouched for ten thousand years as the gloomy castle rose around it.''"{{ref|agot|2}}}}
*[[w:Hide_(unit)|Hides]]{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''fifty hides of fertile land''"{{ref|adwd|66}}}}

Although an acre is a unit indicating an objective land area, a hide is an administrative unit for measuring monetary production. One "hide" is enough to support one household, e.g. if five fertile acres of farmland produce the same amount of [[currency|money]] needed to provide for one household as ten acres of poor swampland do, both groupings are considered to be worth one "hide".

===Units of volume===
The following units of volume have been described:
*Pints{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''And half a pint of ale.''"{{ref|adwd|3}}}}
*Gallons{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Much later, after all the sweets had been served and washed down with gallons of summerwine''"{{ref|acok|2}}}}
*Bushels{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''a silver stag for a bushel of corn''"{{ref|asos|32}}}}

"Barrels", filled with foods, wine, or other substances, are also frequently mentioned.{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Twenty-three barrels of pickled cod, eighteen jars of fish oil, a cask of salt''"{{ref|acok|6}}}} It is unclear if this term reflects a standardized size and unit of measurement (though possibly differing between type of content; e.g., foods, wine, oil, sand, stone, etc.).

Very powerful medicines administered by maesters are usually just functionally measured in number of drops diluted into water or wine. Any intervening units between a drop and a full pint, for larger amounts of medicine, have not been mentioned, and might just be functionally measured as "a cup" of milk of the poppy or "a spoon" of honey.

===Units of weight measurement===
The following units of weight measurement have been described:
*Ounces{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Balon Greyjoy had always been thin, but now he looked as though the gods had put him in a cauldron and boiled every spare ounce of flesh from his bones"''{{ref|acok|11}}}}
*Pounds{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Rast had two years and forty pounds on him."''{{ref|agot|26}}}}
*Stones{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''By the look of him, he must have weighed twenty stone."''{{ref|agot|26}}}} (equal to 14 pounds)<ref>Wikipedia: [[w:Stone (unit)|Stone (unit)]]</ref>
*Tons{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''The bed is solid stone. It weighs half a ton."''{{ref|asos|12}}}}

===Units of time measurement===
The following units of time measurement have been described:
* Seconds{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''The glance that passed between Jaime and Cersei lasted no more than a second, but he did not miss it.''"{{ref|agot|9}}}}
* Minutes{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''The fight lasted less than a minute''"{{ref|agot|26}}}}
* Hours{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Everything was just as it had been a few hours ago.''"{{ref|agot|0}}}}
* Days{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Nine days they had been riding''"{{ref|agot|0}}}}
* Weeks{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Have you drawn any watches this past week, Will?''"{{ref|agot|0}}}}
* Fortnights{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''If it snows, we could be a fortnight getting back, and snow's the best we can hope for.''"{{ref|agot|0}}}}
* Months,{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''What is another few months, another few years?''"{{ref|agot|11}}}} moons,{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''She had been born on Dragonstone nine moons after their flight''"{{ref|agot|3}}}} turns,{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Ten years, two turns, and sixteen days it lasted, the longest summer in living memory.''"{{ref|acok|0}}}} and turns of the moon{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''If the winds have been kind, Ser Alliser should reach King's Landing by the turn of the moon''"{{ref|acok|6}}}}
* Years{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Gared had spent forty years in the Night's Watch''"{{ref|agot|0}}}}
* Decades{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''the wildwood had come creeping back over the decades''"{{ref|agot|21}}}}
* Centuries{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''For centuries the Targaryens had married brother to sister''"{{ref|agot|3}}}}
* Millennia{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''Many legends have come down to us through the millennia''"{{ref|twoiaf|The Iron Islands}}}}
* Eons{{refn|group="N"|E.g., "''The eons have turned them to stone''"{{ref|agot|11}}}}

Sundials{{ref|tmk}} and hourglasses{{ref|acok|47}}{{ref|asos|36}} can be used to track the passage of time.

Regarding the passage of time in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', [[George R. R. Martin]] has specified "''Twelve moon [turns] to a year, as on earth. Even on our earth, years have nothing to do with the seasons, or with the cycles of the moon. A year is a measure of a solar cycle, of how long it takes the earth to make one complete revolution around the sun. The same is true for the world of Westeros.''",<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Asshai.com_Forum_Chat Asshai.com Forum Chat (July 27, 2008)]</ref> thereby confirming that a year in ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' is as long as a year in real-life. Martin further noted that "''Years are not based on seasons, even in the real world. They are based on how long it takes the earth to revolve around the sun... i.e., on astronomy, the position of the sun and moon and stars. Ancient monuments like Stonehenge and Newgrange served astronomical purposes as well as religious, and helped measure the passage of years, the summer and winter solstices, etc.''"<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Measuring_Time/ Measuring Time (June 12, 1999)]</ref>

====Calendar system====
The calendar system currently used in the [[Seven Kingdoms]] uses the start of the reign of King [[Aegon I Targaryen]] as the first year on their calendar, dating events using either AC (After the Conquest) or BC (Before the Conquest).{{Ref|twoiaf| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} Individual months do not appear to have specific names. When referring to a specific day in a specific month, [[maester]]s use the format "''the twenty-second day of the fifth moon of the year 130 AC''".{{Ref|TPATQ}}{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} No name for week-days (e.g., "Sunday" or "Wednesday") have been mentioned, and Martin has confirmed that they do not have those names.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1411 Dromen & Demonen Chat (April 23, 2002)]</ref> There is one mention of religious services held in a [[sept]] "every seventh day".{{ref|tss}}

It is said that the world's varied cultures, both ancient and modern, all reckon days and seasons and years very differently. Archmaester [[Walgram]]'s book, ''[[The Reckoning of Time]]'', covers this issue, but there is little consensus on what these world dates mean in Westeros reckoning.{{ref|TWOIAF|Other Lands}} As an example, the [[Braavos]]i and [[Westeros]]i do not count days the same way.{{Ref|AFFC|22}}

====Hours====
Although hours are used in ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' as a measurement of time, individual hours have never been referred to by names such as "eleven o'clock". Instead, functional definitions such as dawn, noon, and dusk are used (e.g., "the hours before the dawn".{{Ref|agot|12}})

Further, at least some individual hours have their own name. According to Martin, these names are used to "''refer to times of day and night, but with rather less specificity than our own numerical system of hours and minutes.''"<ref>[[Not a Blog]]: [http://grrm.livejournal.com/365152.html?thread=18970464#t18970464 Comedy at the Cocteau (Apr. 6th, 2014) – Comment on Apr. 9th, 2014]</ref> [[Named hours]] include:
*The hour of the [[bat]], apparently some time during deep night to early morning{{Ref|TPATQ}}
*The hour of the eel, coming just after the hour of the bat{{Ref|ADWD|68}}
*The hour of ghosts, coming just after the hour of the eel{{Ref|ADWD|68}}
*The hour of the [[owl]], coming a few hours after the hour of the bat,{{Ref|TPATQ}} still before dawn{{Ref|AFFC|32}}{{Ref|ADWD|26}}
*The hour of the [[wolf]],{{Ref|AFFC|8}}{{Ref|ADWD|7}}{{Ref|ADWD|46}}{{Ref|ADWD|58}} "the blackest part of night"{{Ref|ADWD|67}}, coming after the hour of the owl{{Ref|ADWD|54}}
*The hour of the nightingale, coming after the hour of the wolf{{Ref|ADWD|54}}

==Behind the Scenes==
Elio Garcia, co-author of ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'', was asked whether units of measurement used by [[George R. R. Martin]] in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' correspond to their real-life counterparts, as this is not always the case in fantasy novels.<ref group="N">For example, the ''[[w:Wheel of Time|Wheel of Time]]'' series by [[w:Robert Jordan|Robert Jordan]], in which a decimalized system is used for all derived units; e.g., one foot is divided into ten inches instead of twelve, and one stone is ten pounds instead of fourteen.</ref> Garcia confirmed that "''George likes to keep it simple. He doesn't [screw] around with making up definitions for measurements. That way lies madness.''"<ref>Westeros.org: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&page=104&tab=comments#comment-8185633 the ASOIAF wiki thread (June 2, 2018)]</ref>

Hedge wizard

2023-10-17T14:17:07Z

Narwen: /* References */

A '''hedge wizard''' is a [[Westeros]]i local or traveling herb-doctor, who also likely uses traditional healing, spells and charms to heal the sick or help the needy.

Like [[hedge knight]]s, they are probably quite poor and sleep in hedges on occasion. They are probably most popular amongst the [[smallfolk]], as they are likely to be more affordable and accessible. Nobles probably do not employ the services of hedge wizards, or if they do, they do so clandestinely.

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
During a meeting in [[Winterfell]], the steward of [[Deepwood Motte]] informs Prince [[Bran Stark]] and his councilors that he is setting aside only a tenth of his harvest. A hedge wizard had told him that there would be a bountiful spirit summer before the cold set in. Maester [[Luwin]] has a number of choice things to say about hedge wizards in reply.{{ref|ACOK|16}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
In the [[Citadel]], rumors say that [[Archmaester]] [[Marwyn]] keeps the company of hedge wizards, among other social outcasts.{{Ref|aFfC|Prologue}}

In [[King's Landing]], one of the men trying to pass the head of a murdered [[dwarf]] as that of [[Tyrion Lannister]] - to collect the reward offered by Queen [[Regent]] [[Cersei Lannister]] - argues that a hedge wizard had regrown Tyrion's missing nose.{{ref|affc|36}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===

When [[Davos]] arrives at [[White Harbor]], he visits [[Fishfoot Yard]] and he finds it teeming with people. Beneath the arches of the peddler's colonnade, he sees that a hedge wizard has set up for business.{{Ref|aDwD|15}}

==Synopsis==

Lord [[Aurane Waters]] has returned from [[Dragonstone]] with news that the fortress has fallen. This was good news indeed, considering that word from the [[Reach]] mentioned the ironmen raiding the [[Arbor]] and pushing towards [[Oldtown]]. Aurane indicates that Ser [[Loras Tyrell|Loras]] was grievously wounded during the assault and lay dying after having had boiling oil poured on him from the walls; he also holds Loras responsible for turning the battle into a massacre, as thousands of the Crown's soldiers died in the storming of Dragonstone's keep, many of them knights or lords. Ecstatic, [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] had to deliver the news personally to [[Margaery Tyrell|Margaery]]. The young queen is appalled by Cersei's description of the fate of her brother, and commands Cersei to get out of her quarters. Back in her solar, four separate men bring word on a dwarf sighting, and one brings her a head. However, none of them bear word related to [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], and Cersei sends them away in frustation. Later, in court, Cersei must deal with several unimportant pleas, and then Septon [[Raynard]] arrives. Furious that the [[High Septon]] himself did not come before her, she scoffs at his words that the [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]] is trying to abolish the brothels in the city.

[[Pycelle]] brings word that Lord [[Gyles Rosby|Gyles]] may not live much longer, but Cersei demands that the Grand Maester do his utmost to keep the old man alive. At dinner with her son, [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] mentions that Margaery has been urging him to attend court, to which Cersei responds how much she'd like to see the young queen's tongue torn out. Tommen yells at his mother, and as a punishment for his outburst, she commands [[Boros Blount|Ser Boros]] to oversee the lashing of the boy king’s [[Pate (King's Landing)|whipping boy]] by Tommen himself, rather than by a knight. During the night, Cersei dreams of her visit to the witch back when she was 10 years old. She vividly recalls [[Maggy|Maggy the Frog]]'s plea that they leave her, but Cersei and [[Melara Hetherspoon|Melara]] will not back down. Maggy commands them to cut open their thumbs, and the old easterner tastes their blood. She prophesized that Cersei would marry the [[Robert Baratheon|king]] (not the [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Prince]], as Cersei thought), but her husband would father 16 children and Cersei only three, and that she would reign as queen only "until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear... Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds. And when your tears have drowned you, the ''valonqar'' shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." Maggy also warns that Melara will die very soon, and true enough, she drowns in a well shortly after.

Waking from the nightmare, she sends for Pycelle to make her a potion that permits sleep without dreams. She asks him if seeing the future is possible, but the old maester evades answering by saying, "Should our morrows be foretold? And to that I should answer, 'No.' Some doors are best left closed." Aggravated, she sends for [[Qyburn]], first asking if [[Falyse Stokeworth|Falyse]] was still capable of being used to root out [[Bronn]]. But the necromancer tells her it is too late for that. Then she inquires of him the same she had asked of Pycelle. We learn that Maggy was from the far east, and had married a wealthy merchant. Their son was "upjumped" to a petty lord by Cersei's grandfather. Qyburn tells her that the name Maggy was probably a mispronunciation of "maegi", and that bloodmagic was very powerful. The de-chained maester suggests that she already knew how to forestall the prophecy. Seizing upon this suggestion, Cersei plans a fool-proof way to have Margaery killed. Deciding that treason would work best, the next day she inquires of Ser [[Osmund Kettleblack|Osmund]] if his brother [[Osney Kettleblack|Osney]] could defeat Ser Boros in single combat. He replies that it wouldn't even be a match, and wonders if Boros has commited treason. Cersei replies no, but thinks to herself: But Osney has.

Maiden's Day Ball

2023-09-06T15:33:46Z

Narwen:

The '''Maiden's Day Ball'''{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}}{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} was a royal ball held on [[Maiden's Day]] in {{Date|133}}, in order to find a second wife and new queen for King [[Aegon III Targaryen]], after the death of Queen [[Jaehaera Targaryen]]. The [[Fool|court fool]] [[Mushroom]] mocked the event as the '''Maiden's Day Cattle Show'''.{{Ref|fab|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}}

==Background==
Young King [[Aegon III Targaryen]]'s first marriage to his cousin Princess [[Jaehaera Targaryen]] had ended tragically in {{Date|133}}, with Jaehaera's apparent suicide. Afterwards, Lord [[Unwin Peake]], who was the king's [[Hand of the King|Hand]] and [[regent]], planned a betrothal between Aegon and his daughter, [[Myrielle Peake]]. [[Cregan Stark]] and [[Kermit Tully]] were among the lords that disapproved of the match, and [[Grand Maester]] [[Munkun]]'s support began to waver, acknowledging that the match would be seen as advancing [[House Peake]]'s interests rather than being for the good of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Lord [[Torrhen Manderly]], Lady [[Johanna Lannister]], Lady [[Elenda Baratheon]], and Lady [[Sharis Footly]] wrote to the crown, proposing their own relatives as Aegon's bride (or themselves, in Lady Footly's case). Lady [[Samantha Tarly|Samantha Hightower]] not only named her sister and sister-in-law, who she suggested could [[Polygamy|both marry]] Aegon, but thirty-one other eligible maidens of the [[Reach]]. ([[Mushroom]] unverifiably adds that she said she could name pretty boys as well, if Aegon should be so inclined, though that would not solve the issue of heirs.) Due to the opposition, Peake announced a ball in [[King's Landing]], where the king himself would be able to choose his own bride.

To limit the attendance, Peake restricted the ball to [[maiden]]s of [[nobility]] under the age of thirty. Additionally, many likely maidens were injured, scandalized, or even died before the ball, and men spoke of the "[[Maiden's Day curse]]". Many of these events were probably engineered by Lord Peake, who still hoped to have his daughter be chosen queen. Nevertheless, in hopes of marrying the king, more than one thousand young women from throughout [[Westeros]], and even [[Essos]], crowded into the [[Red Keep]] on the day of the ball.{{Ref|fab|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}}

==The Ball==
[[File:Daenaera Velaryon by Douglas Wheatley.png|thumb|right|350px|[[Daenaera Velaryon]] is presented by [[Corwyn Corbray]] at the ball, as depicted by Douglas Wheatley in ''[[Fire & Blood]]''.]]
The maidens expected to flirt and dance with King Aegon, but the event was not a true ball. They appeared before the king in the [[Red Keep]]'s throne room, in what [[Mushroom]] nicknamed the "Maiden's Day Cattle Show", with Aegon's [[herald]] announcing each lady's name and lineage as she curtsied before the king. Mushroom wrote that the bored king soon forgot each girl, and clever fathers likely sent their daughters through the queue again. Music played constantly, but the maidens, family members, and servants so overflowed the throne room — the second-largest hall in Westeros after [[Harrenhal]] — that they could not move. The building became "suffocatingly hot" despite the winter weather; people fainted, and one lord died. The herald lost his voice and had to be replaced.

The daughter of the [[Prince of Pentos]] was the first to appear before Aegon. Some maidens boldly spoke to the king or, like [[Myrmadora Haen]], wore scandalously scanty clothing, but Aegon only nodded to each before the [[Kingsguard]] led her away. As hours passed, Aegon's growing disinterest pleased Lord Peake, as Myrielle had spent much time with the king before the ball.

When only a few maidens remained, the king's half-sisters Lady [[Baela Targaryen|Baela]] and Lady [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Daemon)|Rhaena Targaryen]] suddenly arrived, mounted on a pair of black chargers, dressed in Targaryen black and red [[ruby|rubies]]. They rode down the hall together, and announced to Aegon that they had brought his new queen. Rhaena's husband Ser [[Corwyn Corbray]] presented their kinswoman [[Daenaera Velaryon]], six years old and breathtakingly beautiful. The whole gallery was said to have rejoiced when she smiled, and when Aegon returned her smile and told her she looked very pretty, all knew who his selection would be.

The last few women were brought forward hurriedly. The king's desire to end the parade was so palpable that the final maiden, [[Henrietta Woodhull]], sobbed as she curtsied. Afterwards, the king summoned his [[cupbearer]], [[Gaemon Palehair]], who announced that the king would marry Lady Daenaera.{{Ref|fab|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}}

==Quotes==
{{Quote|For the good of his people, [[Aegon III Targaryen|His Grace]] must take another wife, though no woman will ever replace our beloved [[Jaehaera Targaryen|Jaehaera]] in his heart.

Whichever girl King Aegon weds shall be the [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]] to his [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], the [[Jonquil]] to his [[Florian the Fool|Florian]]. She will sleep by his side, birth his children, share his labors, soothe his brow when he is sick, grow old with him. It is only fitting therefore that we allow the king himself to make this choice. On [[Maiden's Day]] we shall have a ball, the like of which [[King's Landing]] has not seen since the days of King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys]].

Ser '''Borys Baratheon''' was a [[knight]] from [[House Baratheon]] during the reigns of kings [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon I]], [[Aenys I Targaryen|Aenys I]], [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor I]] and [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]]. He was the eldest of Lord [[Rogar Baratheon]]'s four younger brothers.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

==Character==
Borys was often considered to be the most volatile and belligerent of the five Baratheon brothers.{{Ref|FAB|A Time of Testing - The Realm Remade}}

==History==
===Early reign of Jaehaerys I===
In the older, shorter versions of the book ''[[A Caution for Young Girls]]'', entitled ''Sins of the Flesh'' and ''The High and the Low'', in {{Date|50}} Borys met Lady [[Coryanne Wylde]] in the inn on the south bank of the [[Blackwater Rush]], beside the ferry landing, as she was traveling to [[King's Landing]] to begin serving Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]] on [[Dragonstone]].<ref group="N">In the versions of the book entitled ''A Wanton's Tale'' and ''The Wickedness of Men'', it is not Ser Borys who awaited Lady Coryanne at the inn, but his older brother Lord Rogar Baratheon.</ref> There, he supposedly gave her, on behalf of his older brother, Lord [[Rogar Baratheon|Rogar]], the order to seduce King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] and so ruin his [[marriage]] to Queen Alysanne.{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} According to [[Archmaester]] [[Crey]], the meeting at the inn never happened, and the story had been an attempt to blacken Lord Rogar's name, attributing the origins of the lie to Borys. And according to Maester [[Ryben]], the story was nothing more than a bawdy tale amongst the [[smallfolk]].{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}}

After Rogar had attempted and failed twice to set King Jaehaerys aside and crown another in his place, Borys was named as heir to [[Storm's End]] by Rogar, who had no children himself.{{Ref|fab|A Surfeit of Rulers}} After Jaehaerys had reached the [[age of majority]] and taken the rule into his own hands, he summoned Rogar to King's Landing. Borys counseled his brother to go to the [[Wall]] to join the [[Night's Watch]], as he was convinced that Jaehaerys would have Rogar beheaded otherwise.{{Ref|FAB|A Time of Testing - The Realm Remade}}

In {{Date|55}}, during the [[Tourney for the completion of the Dragonpit|tourney]] held at King's Landing to celebrate the completion of the [[Dragonpit]], Borys participated in the melee.{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}}

===Exile and Third Dornish War===
In {{Date|52}}, Borys lost his status as heir to Storm's End when his older brother, Lord Rogar finally became a father following the birth of his son, [[Boremund Baratheon|Boremund]]. Borys became sour and angry,{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} quarreling bitterly with Rogar.{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} Borys eventually left the [[stormlands]] and went to [[Myr]] and next to [[Volantis]]. He eventually returned to the [[Seven Kingdoms]], where he joined the [[Vulture King (Jaehaerys I)|Vulture King]] in the [[Red Mountains]] of [[Dorne]]. There, Borys assisted the rebel in the raiding and pillaging of his former homeland.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

In {{Date|61}}, during the [[Third Dornish War]], Lord Rogar and King Jaehaerys I Targaryen went to war against Borys and the Vulture King. Borys was the first to be cornered in the Red Mountains after his men had been defeated by the men of his older brother. Although Rogar had intended to face Borys himself, Jaehaerys did not want to let Rogar be labeled a [[kinslayer]], and personally challenged Borys to single combat. Borys accepted and charged at Jaehaerys while shouting a taunt. He was cut down by King Jaehaerys with the [[Valyrian steel]] [[Armament|sword]] [[Blackfyre]].{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

==Quotes by Borys==
{{Quote|Rather name me a [[Kingslaying|kingslayer]] than [[Rogar Baratheon|him]] a [[kinslayer]]!{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}|Borys, just before charging against [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]]}}

==Family==
Borys was a grandson of Lord [[Orys Baratheon]] and Lady [[Argella Durrandon]], and had four brothers: Lord [[Rogar Baratheon|Rogar]], Ser [[Garon Baratheon|Garon]], Ser [[Ronnal Baratheon|Ronnal]], and Ser [[Orryn Baratheon]]. Borys had issue.<ref group="N" name=issue/>

The '''High Septon''', formerly known as '''Septon Pater''', was the second [[High Septon]] of the [[Faith of the Seven]] during the reign of [[Maegor I Targaryen]].{{Ref|TSotD}}

==Appearance and Character==
By {{Date|43}}, [[Septon]] Pater was ninety years old, blind, stooped, and feeble. He was known to be famously amiable, though he had grown forgetful in his late years.{{Ref|TSotD}}

==History==
In {{Date|43}},{{refn|group="N"|Earlier prints of ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'' erroneously state that this event and the death of the [[High Septon (Maegor I)|High Septon]] took place in {{Date|44}}.{{ref|twoiaf| The Reach: Oldtown}} ''[[The Sons of the Dragon]]'' gives the correct date of {{Date|43}}.}} during the [[Faith Militant uprising]], King [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]] and his mother, Dowager Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]], after several victorious battles against the [[Faith Militant]], turned towards [[Oldtown]], threatening to incinerate the [[Starry Sept]] in response to the [[High Septon (Aenys I)|High Septon]]'s condemnation of Maegor's [[Polygamy|polygamous marriages]].{{Ref|TSotD}}{{Ref|twoiaf| The Reach: Oldtown}}

The High Septon died suddenly before the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]] and their [[dragon]]s arrived, allowing Lord [[Martyn Hightower]] to open his gates before [[Balerion]] and [[Vhagar]] could burn the city.{{Ref|twoiaf| The Reach: Oldtown}} Rumors about the nature of the High Septon's death still persist today. As he had been in good health, some have suggested that he had committed suicide, either to save himself from Maegor's wroth or to spare Oldtown from [[dragonflame]]. Others believe that [[Faith of the Seven|the gods]] themselves had struck him down. Most believe he had been murdered, although opinions differ about the murderer's identity. In any case, the [[Most Devout]] were roused from their beds and marched at spearpoint by [[House Hightower]] men-at-arms to the Starry Sept to elect a new High Septon. The frail and amiable Septon Pater was named the new High Septon by a single ballot, though he nearly collapsed under the weight of the crystal crown when it was placed on his head.{{Ref|tsotd}}

The new High Septon was happy to welcome Maegor when he arrived at Oldtown, and blessed and anointed his head with holy oils, although he forgot the words of the blessing. He formally dissolved the [[Warrior's Sons]] and [[Poor Fellows]], commanding the surviving members of the Faith Militant to lay down their arms in the name of the gods. He proclaimed that the Seven had no more need of warriors, and that henceforth the [[Iron Throne]] would protect and defend the Faith. King Maegor allowed the surviving members of the Faith Militant until year's end to surrender their weapons, but afterwards a bounty would be placed on those remaining defiant. Neither the new High Septon nor the Most Devout disagreed with the king.{{Ref|tsotd}}

The High Septon died in {{Date|44}}, most likely due to old age, and was replaced by [[High Lickspittle|another]] who spoke no word against King Maegor or his queens.{{Ref|tsotd}}

This '''High Septon''' was the [[High Septon]] of the [[Faith of the Seven]] during the [[Faith Militant uprising]] that occurred during the reigns of [[Aenys I Targaryen]] and [[Maegor I Targaryen]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reach: Oldtown}}{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

==Appearance and Character==
By the time of his death, at fifty-three, the High Septon was robust, tireless, fearless, and renowned for his strength. He sometimes preached for day and night, without sleep or nourishment.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

==History==
The constant, though largely unintentional, slights suffered by the [[Faith of the Seven]] during the reign of King [[Aenys I Targaryen]], led to a revolt by the Faith against the [[Iron Throne]]. The High Septon spoke out against the [[polygamy|polygamous]] marriage of Prince Maegor to [[Alys Harroway]]. To appease him, Aenys exiled Maegor, and named [[Septon]] [[Murmison]] as [[Hand of the King]].{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

The final straw was in {{Date|41}}, when King Aenys had his daughter, Princess [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena]], marry his son and heir, Prince [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon]]. The High Septon condemned the marriage as an obscenity, warning that children born of it would be "abominations in the sight of gods and men", and expelled Septon Murmison for performing the wedding ceremony. Aenys responded by sending a letter to the High Septon, explaining the history of [[incest|incestuous]] marriage among [[Valyrians]], and asking for "good Murmison" to be reinstated. The High Septon responded to the king's request with a blistering denunciation, addressing "King Abomination" as a pretender and a tyrant, with no right to rule the [[Seven Kingdoms]].{{ref|TSotD}} Pious [[lord]]s, and even [[smallfolk]] who once loved Aenys, turned against him, beginning the [[Faith Militant uprising]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} An envoy of the [[Iron Bank]] of [[Braavos]], sent to treat with Lord [[House Hightower|Hightower]], wrote to the bank that the High Septon was "the true king of [[Westeros]], in all but name".{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

The conflict continued during the reign of King [[Maegor I Targaryen]], who in {{Date|42}} burned the [[Sept of Remembrance]] in [[King's Landing]] to the ground, and killed seven hundred [[Warrior's Sons]]. Maegor then commanded the [[Poor Fellows]] to disarm, and when this decree had no effect, commanded his loyal lords to disperse them by force. In response, the High Septon called upon "true and pious children of the gods" to take up arms in defense of the Faith, and put an end to the reign of "dragons and monsters and abominations."{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

Later in {{Date|42}}, after the wedding of Maegor to his third wife, [[Tyanna of the Tower]], the High Septon denounced "the abomination and his whores."{{ref|TSotD}} And when Princess [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena]] gave birth to her brother [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon]]'s daughters, [[Aerea Targaryen|Aerea]] and [[Rhaella Targaryen (daughter of Aegon)|Rhaella]], the High Septon proclaimed that they too were abominations, the fruits of lust and [[incest]], and accursed of the gods.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

In {{Date|43}}, Maegor outlawed the Faith Militant, and commanded the High Septon to deliver himself to the [[Red Keep]], to stand trial for high treason. In response, His High Holiness commanded the king to present himself to the [[Starry Sept]] in [[Oldtown]], to beg the forgiveness of the gods for his sins and cruelties.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} Later that year,{{refn|group="N"|Earlier prints of ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'' erroneously state that this event and the death of the High Septon took place in {{Date|44}}.{{ref|twoiaf| The Reach: Oldtown}} ''[[The Sons of the Dragon]]'' gives the correct date of {{Date|43}}.}} Maegor and his mother, [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]], atop [[Balerion]] and [[Vhagar]], burned down the seats of pious lords in the [[westerlands]] and the [[riverlands]], and then turned towards Oldtown. The High Septon called down the wrath of the gods on the Targaryens, as the [[Warrior's Sons]] of Oldtown, led by Ser [[Morgan Hightower]], surrounded the Starry Sept. However, the Targaryens and their [[dragon]]s arrived the next day, to discover the High Septon had died the previous night, and the city welcomed them.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

The cause of High Septon's death remains debated, especially as he had been a healthy man. Some believe he took his own life, either the act of a craven afraid to face the wroth of Maegor, or a noble sacrifice to spare the people of Oldtown from [[dragonflame]]. Others claim [[the Seven]] struck him down for the sin of pride, for heresy, treason, or arrogance. Many more are certain he was murdered. One of the suspects is Ser Morgan Hightower, at the command of Lord [[Martyn Hightower]], who was seen entering and leaving the High Septon's privy chambers the night of his death, and was the only Warrior's Son ever pardoned by Maegor. Others point to [[Patrice Hightower]], Lord Martyn's maiden aunt and a reputed witch, who had sought an audience with His High Holiness at dusk, though he was alive when she departed. Other suspects are the [[archmaester]]s of the [[Citadel]], through the use of the [[sorcery|dark arts]], an [[assassin]], or a [[poison]]ed scroll, as messages were sent between the Citadel and the Stary Sept during the night of the High Septon's demise. The final suspect was Queen Visenya Targaryen, another reputed sorceress.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

Nevertheless, the death of the High Septon and the election of a new, more passive [[Pater|figure]] did not stop the uprising.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Reach: Oldtown}}{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

==Errata==
In ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'', it is stated that ''"The unexpected nature of the High Septon's death in 44 AC aroused much suspicion, however, and whispers of murder persist to this day. Some believe His High Holiness was removed by his own brother, Ser Morgan Hightower, commander of the Warrior's Sons in Oldtown (and it is undeniably true that Ser Morgan was the sole Warrior's Son pardoned by King Maegor)."''{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reach: Oldtown}} However, it has been confirmed that [[Morgan Hightower]] was not the High Septon's brother, and that the statement was in error.{{refn|group="N"|Elio Garcia: "Morgan is Martyn's younger brother, not the High Septon's. Small error."<ref>Westeros.org: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/&do=findComment&comment=6420347 (TWOIAF Spoilers) Inconsistency or Intentional?]</ref>}}

Additionally, ''[[The Sons of the Dragon]]'' gives the correct date of {{Date|43}} for the death of the High Septon, and relates that it was the [[Pater|replacement High Septon]] who died in {{Date|44}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

==Synopsis==
[[Quentyn Martell]] and his two companions have joined the [[Windblown]], a sellsword company of two thousand people{{Ref|ADWD|25|page 321}} led by a [[Pentos|Pentoshi]] noble known as the [[Tattered Prince]], under false names. Quentyn has assumed the name "Frog", [[Gerris Drinkwater]] now goes by "Dornish Gerrold" or "Drink", and [[Archibald Yronwood]] is now "Greenguts". Their goal is to reach [[Slaver's Bay]] and eventually [[Daenerys Targaryen]] in [[Meereen]] without drawing too much danger or attention, although they keep that a secret from their colleagues.

The company was paid for by [[Yunkai]] to fight and kill the [[Cleon|Butcher King]]'s successors in [[Astapor]], where they are currently mounted, three miles away from the gates. There they faced Astapor's still-untrained new [[Unsullied]], far less formidable than those that Daenerys has with her in Meereen.{{Ref|ADWD|25|page 325-326}}

"Frog" learns that the Windblown are going to Yunkai for provisions before marching for Meereen to fight Daenerys' forces. While they prepare to leave, he learns many malicious and fearful rumors about Daenerys' past and present, some of them more grounded in truth than others.{{Ref|ADWD|25|page 321}}

On the way to Meereen, the Tattered Prince receives instructions from Yunkai to hunt the Astapori survivors that have left the ruins of Astapor and drive them away from Yunkai, either back to Astapor or further north to Meereen. It is believed that about half of those survivors are carriers of the [[bloody flux]]. The Windblown will fight side by side with the [[Company of the Cat]], another group of sellswords that has fought against them in the past.

The leader of the company has however decided to play both sides, and selects a group of Westerosi men, including Quentyn and his companions, to make for Meereen and contact either the [[Second Sons]] or the [[Stormcrows]], offering to defect to Dany. He selects [[Pretty Meris]] to command that group and suggests believable justifications for their decision to turn cloak. The group will have to be careful to avoid retaliation from the Company of the Cat or of the [[Long Lances]] who know nothing of their plans and might not approve or care if they knew.

'''Craghas Drahar''', called '''Craghas Crabfeeder''', was a prince admiral from [[Myr]] who served the [[Triarchy]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

==History==
The [[Triarchy]]—the alliance of [[Lys]], [[Myr]], and [[Tyrosh]]—drove [[Volantis]] from the [[Disputed Lands]] with the [[Battle of the Borderland]] in {{date|96}}. Craghas then led the Triarchy's armies and fleets in conquering the [[Stepstones]] from the islands' nests of [[pirate]]s and outlaws. During this campaign he earned his sobriquet, "Craghas Crabfeeder", by ordering hundreds of pirates staked out on beaches to drown in the rising tide.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

For a time the [[Westeros]]i lords were pleased by the pirates' defeat, and were happy to pay the Triarchy's tolls for safe passage. Several years later, however, the avarice of Craghas and his Lysene and Tyroshi co-admirals had driven up the tolls to outrageous levels. [[Corlys Velaryon]], [[Lord of the Tides]], was most hurt by these tolls, and he partnered with the glory-hungry Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] to drive the Triarchy's forces from the Stepstones and carve out a realm, attacking in {{Date|106}}. The forces of the Triarchy lost many battles over the next two years during the [[war for the Stepstones]], before Craghas was finally defeated in battle by Daemon, who beheaded him with his [[Valyrian steel]] sword, [[Dark Sister]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

Deep Ones

2020-10-14T13:29:27Z

Narwen:

'''Deep Ones''' are a species posited by Maester [[Theron]] in his manuscript ''[[Strange Stone]]''. Theron drew a connection between the [[black stone]] of the [[Seastone Chair]] and that of the ancient fortress that serves as foundation of the [[Hightower]]. Theron suggested they were created by the Deep Ones, a "queer, misshapen race of half men sired by creatures of the salt seas upon human women", according to Maester [[Yandel]]. Theron suggests they inspired the legend of [[merling]]s and that the sea creatures who fathered them inspired the religion of the [[Drowned God]].{{ref|TWOIAF| Oldtown}}

The legends of [[Lorath]] claim that the Lorathi [[mazemakers]] were destroyed by creatures from the sea,{{ref|TWOIAF| Lorath}} whereas the folk of the [[Thousand Islands]] sacrifice sailors to squamous, fish-headed gods, of which stone idols emerge when the tide is low.{{ref|TWOIAF| East of Ib}} It is possible these stories and beliefs are related to Theron's Deep Ones.

The '''hollow hill''' is a cave in the [[riverlands]] which serves as the hidden base of the [[brotherhood without banners]].{{Ref|ASOS|34}}

==Layout==
The walls of the cave consist of stone and soil interrupted by the huge roots of [[weirwood]]s. The hollow hill has numerous tunnels, crannies, and crevices. The brotherhood build a firepit which has stained the ceiling of the largest cavern. One section of the weirwood roots seems to form a stairway leading to where the brotherhood's leader, Lord [[Beric Dondarrion]], rests in a tangle of roots. Men, women, and little children live within the cave. Its defenders call themselves the [[brotherhood without banners]], the knights of the hollow hill, and the forgotten fellowship.{{ref|ASOS|34}}

'''Bartimos Celtigar''' was a Lord of [[Claw Isle]] and head of [[House Celtigar]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]].{{Ref|TPATQ}}

==Character==
Bartimos was unrelenting, incorruptible, ingenious, and very wealthy.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} He was an old man by the time of the Dance of the Dragons.{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}}

==History==
Lord Bartimos was a member of Queen [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]'s [[black council]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. He urged the queen to use her numerical advantage in [[dragon]]s to take [[King's Landing]] from King [[Aegon II Targaryen]], but Rhaenyra agreed with the cautious Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]].{{Ref|TPATQ}}
After Rhaenyra [[Fall of King's Landing|seized control of King's Landing]], Bartimos was named [[lord treasurer]] and [[master of coin]] on her [[small council]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}

Despite the fact that King [[Viserys I Targaryen]] had left the treasure vaults full of gold upon his death, the treasury was completely empty by the time Rhaenyra took the capital, for the [[greens]] had sent three quarters of the gold away for safekeeping and spent the rest prior to the fall of the capital. Rhaenyra was in desperate need of [[coin]] and to rectify this, Lord Bartimos put in place the ruinous taxes his ancestor Lord [[Edwell Celtigar]] once enacted, although Bartimos went a step further. Taxes on [[wine]] and [[ale]] were doubled, port fees tripled. Every shopkeeper was assessed a fee to keep his doors open. Innkeepers were required to pay a silver stag for each bed in their inn. The entry and exit fees once put on the seven city gates by [[Rego Draz]], the "Lord of Air", were brought back, but at triple the cost. A property tax was put in place that [[smallfolk]] and wealthy alike were obliged to pay depending on how much space they took up. Bartimos even made executions a source of coin, by having them take place in the [[Dragonpit]] and charging those wishing to see the spectacle three pennies. Merchants and traders who couldn't pay had their property, [[ships]], or cargo seized. Though these taxes replenished Queen Rhaenyra's coffers, they quickly made both the queen and Lord Bartimos despised by the populace.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}

After the [[Treasons of Tumbleton]] by the [[Two Betrayers]], Bartimos urged Rhaenyra to arrest the other two [[baseborn]] [[dragonrider]]s, Ser [[Addam Velaryon]] and [[Nettles]].{{Ref|TPATQ}}{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} He later argued for a tax to be placed for any child born out of wedlock, which would help fill the royal coffers and would discourage more bastards being born. When [[Riot of King's Landing (Dance of the Dragons)|riots]] broke out in King's Landing, Lord Bartimos's manse was overrun by a mob, his servants turned on him or fled, and his kinsman [[Arthor Celtigar|Arthor]] was cut down. Bartimos himself was bound to a post and tortured until he revealed all the locations of his wealth. Then a tanner named [[Wat the Tanner|Wat]] declared to Bartimos that he hadn't paid the "cock tax" and thus his manhood was forfeit. Wat the Tanner later rode through the streets upon a stolen horse, displaying Lord Bartimos's severed head and genitals to the crowds and declaring an end to all taxes.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}}

The '''Faith Militant''' was the military arm of the [[Faith of the Seven]], under the command of the [[High Septon]]. It was composed of two military orders, the [[Warrior's Sons]] and the [[Poor Fellows]], known as the "Swords" and the "Stars" for their respective symbols. The Faith Militant is therefore also known as the '''Swords and Stars'''{{ref|AFFC|33}} or '''Stars and Swords'''.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}

==History==
The [[Warrior's Sons]] were [[knight]]s who renounced their titles, lands, gold, and possessions to fight for the Seven. They swore their swords to the [[High Septon]]. They wore 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.

The [[Poor Fellows]] were a more humble order generally for commoners and women. Acting as a militant counterpart to [[begging brothers]], Poor Fellows wandered the realm and escorted pilgrims between septs. They were lightly-armed footmen, who carried whatever weapons they could make or find, often axes or cudgels, and wore star badges, red on white.

The Faith Militant supported [[House Teague]] when they tried to suppress the worship of the [[old gods]] by [[House Blackwood]]. Houses [[House Tully|Tully]] and [[House Vance of Atranta|Vance]] supported the Blackwoods, however, and the resulting war led to the control of the [[riverlands]] by the [[Storm King]]s of [[House Durrandon]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands}}

The [[Faith Militant uprising|Faith Militant uprising]] against [[House Targaryen]] began during the reign of King [[Aenys I Targaryen]] after several events the Faith took as slights.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} His successor, King [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor the Cruel]], outlawed armed holy men and took brutal steps to put down the rebelling orders and the houses supporting them, including offering bounties for their heads.{{ref|AFFC|33}} Not even the death of the [[High Septon (Maegor I)|High Septon]] and his replacement for a more passive one stopped the determination of the Faith Militant.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}

After Maegor's death, his successor, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys the Conciliator]], offered amnesty to the rebels in exchange for the disbandment of the Faith Militant.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Feast for Crows''===
The [[Faith of the Seven]] and its followers are incensed by attacks on holy men and women and the sacking of septs and septries carried out by foragers, such as the [[Brave Companions]], during the [[War of the Five Kings]]. The new [[High Septon]], known as the [[High Sparrow]], manipulates Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]] into overturning Maegor's law and the Faith Militant is born again.{{ref|affc|28}}

==Quotes==
{{Quote|The Faith Militant reborn ... that would be the answer to three hundred years of prayer, Your Grace. [[Warrior (the Seven)|The Warrior]] would lift his shining sword again and cleanse this sinful realm of all its evil. If [[Tommen Baratheon|His Grace]] were to allow me to restore the ancient blessed orders of the [[Warrior's Sons|Sword]] and [[Poor Fellows|Star]], every godly man in the [[Seven Kingdoms]] would know him to be our true and rightful lord.{{Ref|aFfC|28}}|[[High Sparrow]] to [[Cersei Lannister]]}}

Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya (islands)

2019-01-19T20:01:56Z

Narwen:

The islands '''Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya''' are a small grouping of islands in the [[Summer Sea]] that were discovered in {{date|56}} by Lady [[Alys Westhill]]. They are the most westerly lands ever discovered in the [[known world]], even farther west than [[Lonely Light]].{{ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

==Geography==
The islands are located several weeks' travel away from [[Oldtown]], slightly farther south than the latitude of the [[Summer Isles]], and at a longitude farther west than even [[Lonely Light]]. The islands are very small, with a combined land area no larger than [[Dragonstone]]; the largest of the islands is no more than a third the size of Dragonstone itself. [[Alys Westhill]] described them as "''a mountain attended by two hills''".{{ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

The islands are pleasant and bountiful. Springs and streams provide plentiful fresh water. The islands are uninhabited but for the wildlife, including wild pigs and huge, sluggish grey lizards as big as deer, whose bites can cause severe infections. The trees are heavy with edible nuts and fruits unknown in other lands.{{ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

==History==
The three islands went, as far as is known, undiscovered by men for most of history, due to the fact that they are located far to the west across the open ocean, far away from any shipping lanes. In {{Date|56}}, Lady [[Alys Westhill]] led an expedition on her ship, the ''[[Sun Chaser]]'', accompanied by the ships ''[[Lady Meredith]]'' and ''[[Autumn Moon]]''. The expedition stumbled onto the three islands by accident. The three ships had been caught in a devastating storm that sunk ''Autumn Moon'', while blowing ''Sun Chaser'' farther west. There, after the storm had passed, the crew spotted shore birds and followed them to land. ''Sun Chaser'' recovered the badly damaged ''Lady Meredith'' and brought her to the islands, where they remained for a fortnight making repairs and restocking their provisions. As the islands on no known chart and there were three of them, Lady Alys Westhill named the islands Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya, after the [[Aegon I Targaryen|Conqueror]] and his two queens.{{ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

She was close with her sister Lysa,{{Ref|AGOT|4}} and would play with her two younger siblings, as well as with her father's young ward, [[Petyr Baelish]].{{ref|agot|6}}{{Ref|ACOK|19}} Just as her younger siblings and Petyr were wont to do, Catelyn would go to her uncle, Ser [[Brynden Tully]], with her tears and tales, whenever Lord Hoster was too busy, and Lady Minisa was too ill.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} When Catelyn's mother died in childbirth, along with her son, Lord Hoster told his daugther that she had to be the Lady of Riverrun in her mother's stead.{{Ref|ACOK|45}} Catelyn does not have many memories of her mother,{{ref|acok|7}} though she still remembers her warm smile and soft hands.{{Ref|ACOK|33}} Her relationship with her father was a close one, and according to Catelyn, Lord Hoster cherished her best of all his children.{{Ref|ACOK|45}} Whenever Hoster would ride off to court or a battle, he would tell Catelyn to watch for him from the battlements of Riverrun, which she did.{{Ref|AGOT|63}} And when his eyes tired, Hoster would have Catelyn read to him in his solar.{{Ref|AFFC|44}}

Catelyn and Lysa played together as girls, and even had a secret language.{{Ref|AGOT|6}} Once, they made mud pies and served them to Petyr, who ate them and as a consequence was sick for a week.{{Ref|agot|28}} Catelyn and Lysa also practised kissing with Petyr in the [[godswood]] of [[Riverrun]], where Petyr attempted to stick his tongue in their mouths - an attempt which Catelyn halted, but Lysa both allowed and enjoyed.{{ref|agot|71}} Catelyn often accompanied her father on his travels, and had visited the [[inn at the crossroads]] on multiple occasions.{{Ref|AGOT|28}}{{Ref|ASOS|45}} Once, Catelyn, Lysa and Petyr accompanied Hoster to [[Seagard]]. During the journey to the seat of [[House Mallister]], they stopped at [[Oldstones]], where Catelyn had played at being [[Jenny of Oldstones]], while Petyr had pretended to be her [[Duncan Targaryen|Prince of Dragonflies]].{{ref|ASOS|45}} On their way back from Seagard to Riverrun, Catelyn and Lysa got lost in the mist, and were eventually found by Petyr Baelish.{{Ref|acok|55}}

===Betrothal to Brandon Stark===
[[File:Catelyn Tully.PNG|300px|thumb|Catelyn Tully as portrayed by Michelle Fairley on HBO's ''[[Game of Thrones]]'']]
When Catelyn, at the age of twelve, was betrothed to [[Brandon Stark]], the heir to [[Winterfell]], she thanked her father for making such a splendid match for her.{{Ref|ACOK|45}} Lord Hoster's ward Petyr was less pleased with the match, however. While Catelyn had come to regard Petyr as a brother,{{ref|agot|18}}{{Ref|acok|55}} Petyr's had fallen in love with Catelyn.{{ref|agot|29}} When Catelyn's betrothal to Brandon was announced,{{ref|awoiaf| Petyr Baelish}} Lords Bracken and Blackwood were at Riverrun, to settle a fued with Lord Hoster's help. Catelyn and Petyr danced six dances that night, but when he tried to kiss her, she pushed him away and laughed at him. Petyr, wounded by the rejection, got drunk, and had to be brought to bed by Ser Brynden Tully. Catelyn's younger sister, Lysa, who had fallen in love with Petyr, snuck into Petyr's chambers and had sex with him that night. However, Petyr was still drunk, and believed he was having sex with Catelyn, and even called Lysa "Cat" before falling asleep again.{{ref|awoiaf| Petyr Baelish}}{{Ref|ASOS|80}}

When the date of Catelyn's wedding was announced{{ref|awoiaf| Petyr Baelish}} in {{date|282}},<ref>''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Riverlands|Petyr Baelish's duel against Brandon Stark]]''</ref> Petyr challenged Brandon Stark to a duel for her hand.{{ref|agot|18}} Catelyn refused to give Petyr her favor when he asked, giving it to Brandon Stark instead.{{Ref|ACOK|45}}{{Ref|ASOS|80}} She begged Brandon not to kill Petyr, and he agreed. Petyr was severily injured during the duel, and the final cut Brandon gave him was so brutal that Catelyn was convinced the younger boy would die from it.{{ref|agot|40}} Petyr did not die, however, but was given a fortnight to recover at Riverrun before being sent away.{{Ref|acok|45}}{{ref|agot|40}} Catelyn did not go see him during this time, nor did she say her farewells to him when he left Riverrun.{{ref|acok|45}} After the duel, Brandon Stark left Riverrun as well, promising her to return soon for their wedding.{{Ref|agot|63}}

However, on his way back to Riverrun, Brandon Stark learned about the disappearance of his sister [[Lyanna Stark|Lyanna]] and the involvement of Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]]. Furious, he rode to [[King's Landing]], where he was arrested by King [[Aerys II Targaryen]]. When Brandon's father, Lord [[Rickard Stark]], went to King's Landing to champion Brandon in his [[trial by battle]], both men were executed.{{Ref|acok|55}}{{ref|agot|53}} Shortly thereafter, [[Robert's Rebellion]] began. After Brandon had died, Petyr sent Catelyn a letter, which she burned without reading it. By then, her father had promised her hand to Brandon's younger brother, [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]], now the Lord of [[Winterfell]].{{ref|agot|18}}

===Marriage to Eddard Stark===
[[File:Mathia Arkoniel aryasansacatelynII.jpg|thumb|250px|Catelyn and her daughters, [[Arya Stark|Arya]] (left) and [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] (right)]]
Catelyn married Eddard Stark after the rebels won the [[Battle of the Bells]], without ever having seen him before their wedding day. She married Eddard in the same ceremony as her sister Lysa married the elder Lord [[Jon Arryn]]. Both Eddard Stark and Jon Arryn played key roles in the rebellion, and a fortnight after the wedding both men rode off to war again. Catelyn remained at Riverrun, and would spent the first year of her marriage to Eddard separated from her husband.{{ref|agot|6}}{{ref|asos|2}} However, Catelyn had conceived a child during her wedding night, and gave birth to [[Robb Stark|Robb]] in {{Date|283}} at Riverrun, nine months after her wedding,{{ref|agot|63}}{{Ref|ASOS|45}} with the assistance of maester Luwin.{{ref|agot|6}} After the war had ended, Catelyn and her young son travelled to [[Winterfell]], where she was displeased to discover that her husband's bastard son, [[Jon Snow]], had already been set up in the castle.{{ref|agot|6}} While Catelyn had always been aware that men fathered bastards, and had not been surprised to learn of Jon's existence, Jon arriving at Winterfell before Catelyn and Robb had hurt her feelings. Eddard's insistence on raising the boy at [[Winterfell]] and his refusal to identify the boy's mother caused frictions between them, and left Catelyn feeling jealous and angry.{{Ref|AWOIAF| Catelyn Tully}} Catelyn concluded that Eddard must have loved Jon's mother deeply, and heard rumors at Winterfell about [[Ashara Dayne]] from [[Dorne]]. However, when she finally had gathered enough courage to ask her husband about the Dornishwoman, Eddard demanded to learn where the rumor had come from. Ashara's name was never mentioned in Winterfell again, and Catelyn remembers the night as ''"the only time in all their years that Ned had ever frightened her"''.{{ref|agot|6}} During all their time living together at Winterfell, Catelyn never came to trust Jon,{{Ref|affc|44}} and Catelyn saw to it that Jon would always feel like somewhat of an outsider.{{Ref|AGOT|26}}

On Eddard's part, the knowledge that Catelyn had actually been his brother Brandon's bride created a rift in their marriage. Despite these issues, however, Catelyn and Eddard grew to deeply love each other over the years. They had four more children: [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] (b. {{Date|286}}), [[Arya Stark|Arya]] (b. {{Date|289}}), [[Bran Stark|Bran]] (b. {{Date|290}}), and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]] (b. {{Date|295}}).<ref>''See the calculations for [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Sansa Stark|Sansa Stark]], [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arya Stark|Arya Stark]], [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Bran Stark|Bran Stark]], and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rickon Stark|Rickon Stark]]''</ref> As the Lady of Winterfell, Catelyn became familiar with the Lords of the North, and once comforted Lady [[Lynesse Hightower]] by telling her how she had once felt out of place in the North, but had come to love it all the same. Because Catelyn holds to the Faith of the Seven, Eddard had a sept build for her, so she could pray to her own gods.{{ref|agot|2}}

After the arrival of the [[House Baratheon of King's Landing|royal]] party at [[Winterfell]], Catelyn receives a letter from her sister Lysa, stating that the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] had killed her husband [[Jon Arryn]], the late [[Hand of the King]]. This puts the Starks on guard, as Eddard has just been offered the position of Hand by his friend, King [[Robert I Baratheon]]. Catelyn pushes Ned to accept the offer along with a betrothal that would make Sansa queen one day. Despite misgivings about going to [[King's Landing]], Ned accepts.{{ref|agot|6}}

When [[Bran Stark|Bran]] is left in a coma having apparently fallen while climbing one of Winterfell's keeps, Catelyn stays by his side for eight days, ignoring her own affairs and those of Winterfell. On the eighth night, she is attacked by an [[Catspaw|assassin]] who had come for Bran. During the ensuing struggle she grabs the blade of his knife, causing deep lacerations to her palms, before [[Summer|Bran's direwolf]] attacks and kills him.{{Ref|aGoT|14}} After recovering, Catelyn travels to King's Landing along with Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]] to inform Eddard, sailing on the ''[[Storm Dancer]]''. Despite having travelled in secret they are met by guards upon their arrival, and are taken to a brothel owned by [[Petyr Baelish]], Catelyn's childhood friend, who tells her that the [[Valyrian steel dagger]] used in the attack belonged to [[Tyrion Lannister]].{{Ref|aGoT|18}}

On their way back to Winterfell, still travelling in secret, they encounter Tyrion at the [[inn at the crossroads]]. He recognises her, exposing her identity to those present, which includes men-at-arms in service to bannermen of [[House Tully]]. Catelyn successfully appeals to them to detain Tyrion for conspiring to murder her son, and assist her in returning him to Winterfell to await justice.{{Ref|aGoT|28}} Despite Catelyn announcing her intention to take him to Winterfell, their party instead makes its way to the [[Eyrie]] for trial. During the journey they come under attack by [[Vale mountain clans|clansmen]] on the [[high road]] in the [[Mountains of the Moon]]. Tyrion successfully persuades Catelyn to allow her captives to take up arms, and goes on to save her during the skirmish.{{Ref|aGoT|34}} At the Eyrie, Tyrion is thrown into a [[sky cell]], but escapes execution by convincing [[Bronn|a sellsword]] to fight in a trial by combat.{{Ref|aGoT|40}} Meanwhile, the arrest had become a [[War of the Five Kings#Causes|catalyst]] for the [[War of the Five Kings|war]] that followed, as [[Tywin Lannister]] orders Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] and other raiders to attack the riverlands in retribution.{{Ref|aGoT|43}}

Her son Robb having marched south with his father's bannermen in response to Eddard's arrest in King's Landing, Catelyn joins [[House Manderly]]'s levies at [[White Harbor]] and meets the northern host in the field at [[Moat Cailin]].{{Ref|aGoT|55}} She is accompanied by her uncle, Ser [[Brynden Tully]], who had left his [[Knight of the Gate|service]] to [[House Arryn]], disgusted by Lysa's refusal to help against the Lannisters.{{Ref|aGoT|40}} When Robb is about to place [[Greatjon|Greatjon Umber]] in command of the infantry force sent to engage [[Tywin Lannister]], Catelyn is able to convince him to appoint [[Roose Bolton]], a man of cold calculation.{{Ref|aGoT|55}} Robb wants Catelyn to return to the north, but she stays with the army in order to see her dying father.{{Ref|aGoT|55}}

When the army finds it necessary to cross the [[Green Fork]], the delicate task of negotiating with Lord [[Walder Frey]] falls to Catelyn, who negotiates passage by promising, among other things, Robb's hand in marriage to one of the many women of [[House Frey]].{{Ref|aGoT|59}} She is present for his victory at the [[battle in the Whispering Wood]], where her guard is commanded by [[Hallis Mollen]].{{Ref|aGoT|63}} After the news of Eddard's execution by order of King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]], Catelyn is filled with grief but maintains composure for the sake of her son. During the war council at Riverrun, Catelyn argues for peace with the south so that Sansa and Arya might be more easily brought to safety, but Robb and the assembled lords make clear their desire to continue the war, with the Greatjon declaring Robb the first [[King in the North]] in three centuries.{{Ref|aGoT|71}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===

Catelyn advises against Robb's plan to send Eddard's ward, [[Theon Greyjoy]], on a diplomatic mission to offer terms of an alliance with his father, Lord [[Balon Greyjoy]], as she does not trust either.{{Ref|aCoK|7}}

It is Catelyn's idea to attempt to ally with [[Renly Baratheon]], who has a massive host, but she wishes to remain with Robb.{{Ref|aCoK|7}} When he threatens to send the boisterous Greatjon as his envoy, Catelyn relents and goes herself, accepting the fact that her son was becoming a man. She travels south to [[Bitterbridge]] to meet King Renly's host, where she finds him hosting a [[melee at Bitterbridge|great melee]].{{Ref|aCoK|22}} When news arrives that Renly's brother [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] is laying [[Siege of Storm's End (299)|siege to Storm's End]], the seat of [[House Baratheon]], Catelyn rides with Renly and part of his host to [[Storm's End]].{{Ref|aCoK|31}} Catelyn is present for the inconclusive parley between the two brothers, and witnesses Renly's murder later that night by a mysterious [[Shadow assassin|creature of shadow]]. [[Brienne of Tarth]], one of Renly's [[Rainbow Guard]], is the only other person present, so the pair flee in the knowledge that they would be blamed for the murder. They journey to Riverrun, and on the way Catelyn takes Brienne into her service.{{Ref|aCoK|33}}

Upon hearing of her two youngest sons' supposed murder at the hand of Theon Greyjoy following his [[capture of Winterfell]], Catelyn frees Robb's hostage, [[Jaime Lannister]], in a covert attempt to exchange him for her daughters, captives at King's Landing.{{Ref|aCoK|55}}{{Ref|aSoS|1}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Catelyn's brother Edmure places her under house arrest at Riverrun, but Robb pardons her after he tells her of his wedding to [[Jeyne Westerling]]. Her father Hoster finally dies at Riverrun.{{ref|ASOS|35}} While traveling to the [[Twins]] for Edmure's marriage with [[Roslin Frey]], Catelyn objects to Robb's intention to name [[Jon Snow]] his heir.{{ref|ASOS|45}}

Catelyn attends Edmure's wedding at the Twins, only for the [[House Frey|Freys]] and [[House Bolton|Boltons]] to betray the Starks, murdering Catelyn, Robb, and many of Robb's men in an act of treachery that becomes known as the [[Red Wedding]]. In a desperate attempt to save her son's life, Catelyn seizes the lackwit, [[Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)|Aegon Frey]], and tries to trade his life for Robb's. When Robb is killed nonetheless, she slits Aegon's throat, just before [[Raymund Frey]] slits hers.{{Ref|aSoS|51}} The Freys dump her body naked into the Green Fork, a mockery of [[House Tully]]'s funeral customs,{{ref|ASOS|58}} after Catelyn has been dead for a day and a night.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}

Catelyn's wounds only partially heal, however, leaving her mutilated and without the ability to speak. She becomes consumed with the desire for vengeance over her family's betrayal and murder. She becomes known as '''Lady Stoneheart''' and assumes command of Beric's outlaw band, the [[brotherhood without banners]]. She leads the brotherhood in mercilessly pursuing and executing everyone she considers a Lannister collaborator, among them [[Petyr Frey|Petyr]] and [[Merrett Frey]] at [[Oldstones]].{{Ref|aSoS|Epilogue}}

A cloaked and hooded woman is spoken of in the vicinity of [[Fairmarket]]{{ref|AFFC|42}} and [[Hag's Mire]].{{ref|AFFC|30}}

While leading the brotherhood, Stoneheart's outlaws come upon a small party led by [[Brienne Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]], who informs her that she is searching for Sansa at the behest of [[Jaime Lannister]]. Stoneheart says that Brienne has turned traitor, as she carries [[Oathkeeper]], a Lannister sword forged from the Stark [[Valyrian steel]] blade, [[Ice]]. Brienne swears she is still faithful but Stoneheart insists she must prove it by killing Jaime. Brienne refuses, stating that Jaime has changed. Stoneheart says she must choose, either kill Jaime or be hanged. Brienne refuses to choose. Just before she, [[Hyle Hunt]] and [[Podrick Payne]] are to be executed however, she shouts out a word.{{Ref|aFfC|42}}

==Lady Stoneheart==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Lady Stoneheart|Images of Lady Stoneheart]]''
Death has changed Catelyn. She is less gracious and forgiving than in life and is consumed with a desire for vengeance on anyone she thinks betrayed her and her son, Robb. She hangs any men associated with the Freys, Boltons, or Lannisters, even if they had nothing to do with the "Red Wedding" or if they are boys, as is the case of [[Podrick Payne]]. Her appearance has been altered as well, with her flesh becoming soft and the color of curdled milk due to her corpse being submerged in river water for days. Half of her hair is gone and the rest is white and brittle. In addition, her wounds have not healed with her face covered in scratch marks and her throat still slit open. To speak she must cover the wound on her throat; even then she is difficult to understand.{{ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}{{Ref|aFfC|42}}

The '''Red Fork''' is one of the three main rivers of the [[Trident]] in the [[riverlands]], the other two being the [[Blue Fork]] and the [[Green Fork]]. It is named after the mud and silt from the western mountains;{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands}} Ser [[Brynden Tully]] considers the red mud to be colored Tully red.{{ref|ACOK|7}}

==Course==

The Red Fork's headwaters are in the hills near [[Hornvale]] and [[Deep Den]] in the [[westerlands]]. It then flows northeast past [[Pinkmaiden]] to [[Riverrun]], where it is joined by the [[Tumblestone]]. The [[House Tully|Tullys]] are able to open sluice gates on the third side of their castle, turning it into an island.{{ref|AGOT|69}}

From Riverrun the Red Fork continues east where it meets the Trident north of [[Lord Harroway's Town]]. The Trident then continues east to the [[Bay of Crabs]].{{ref|TLOIAF}} [[Stone Hedge]] is located south of the Red Fork and east of Riverrun, while [[Raventree Hall]] is north of the river and south of the [[Blue Fork]].{{ref|AWOIAF}}

While the deeper and faster Tumblestone is blue and white in color, the placid and wider Red Fork is muddy red and brown.{{ref|ASOS|35}} It meanders with loops and bends, islands and sandbars.{{ref|ASOS|3}} The west bank is higher and more wooded than the east bank.{{ref|ACOK|45}} The [[river road]] follows much of the course of the Red Fork.{{ref|AFFC|37}}
