Faceless Men

2008-01-13T23:30:13Z

Oorag: /* Assassinations */

The '''Guild of the Faceless Men''' is a religious society of assassins who worship the [[Many-Faced God]], a god of death.

==Religion==
The Guild originated in the volcanic slave mines of [[Valyria]]. Their founder came to believe that Valyria's diverse slave population all prayed to the same god of death in many different incarnations. The Guild believes that the death gods of all religions are faces of a single, Many-Faced God. In the Guild's [[House of Black and White]], followers wear black and white robes and perform religious duties for the community, such as tending to the dead. The House contains a public shrine with idols of many death gods, including the Stranger of the [[Faith of the Seven|Seven]], but there are no formal services. Some visiting worshipers drink from a black cup that provides a painless death. A phrase associated with the cult of the Many-Faced God is "valar morghulis," translated from Valyrian as "all men must die"; a response to this is "valar dohaeris, or "all men must serve."

==Assassinations==
Followers of Him of Many Faces consider death to be a merciful end to suffering. For a price, the Guild will agree to kill anyone in the world, considering this contract killing to be a sacrament of their god. An elite group of followers within the Guild, called the Faceless Men, are trained to perform this task. Despite their name, Faceless Men are occasionally women. They possess magical abilities that allow them to change their appearance at will. Part of their training includes discarding their true identity and thinking of themselves as "no one". They use a variety of methods to kill their targets, including a poison called "the strangler". The cost of their services depends on the prominence and security of the target. It was thought that if the [[Seven Kingdoms]] were to hire a Faceless Man for [[Daenerys Targaryen]], it would cost as much as the hiring of an army.

==Faceless Men identities==
A [[Kindly Man]] seems to have some position of authority in the Guild, as he is the one who takes charge of Arya Stark's training. A [[Waif]] works in the House of Black and White handling poisons. Though she is 36 years old, she has a shrunken and childlike appearance brought about by exposure to poisons. Several more Faceless Men are seen by Arya at the House of Black and White. She describes them as "fat fellow," "stern face," "handsome face," "squinter," "lordling", and "starved man." A Faceless Man passing himself off as a [[Lorath]]i criminal named [[Jaqen H'ghar]] became a recruit of the [[Night's Watch]], then joined the [[Brave Companions]] before changing his identity. A man calling himself the [[Alchemist]] poisoned [[Novice Pate]] and presumably took his place at the [[Citadel]]. It is difficult to determine whether any of these identities are used by the same Faceless Man.

Sandor Clegane

2007-09-16T23:12:17Z

Oorag:

'''Sandor Clegane''' is the younger brother of [[Gregor Clegane]]. He is nicknamed "The Hound," in part because his family arms feature three dogs, and in part for his savage nature and unquestioning obedience to his masters. He is considered one of the most dangerous fighters in Westeros, though he frequently drinks himself into stupors. As a child, Sandor received gruesome facial burns when Gregor shoved his face into a brazier. He came to loathe fire, his brother, and the hypocrisy of knighthood in general.

==Appearance==
Sandor is a huge and heavily-muscled man. One side of his face is hideously burned. He has long black hair that he brushes over the burned section of his head where no hair grows. He regularly wears plain armor and a distinctive helm sculpted into the shape of a snarling dog's head.

==History==

Clegane acted for a time as bodyguard and servant of [[Joffrey Baratheon]], who regularly called him "Dog". He won the [[Hand's Tourney]] after saving [[Loras Tyrell]] from Gregor's wrath. While drunk off his winnings, Sandor became enamored with [[Sansa Stark]], but also mocked her for her polished manners, calling her a "little bird" who chirps on command. Clegane was eventually named to the [[Kingsguard]], despite refusing to become a knight, and in this capacity he was often assigned to watch over Sansa. Despite his loyalty to Joffrey, he strategically defended her from Joffrey's wrath several times, and is the only Kingsguard who was never commanded to beat her. He fought heroically during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], but eventually deserted after refusing to return to the flame-choked battlefield. Before fleeing, he found Sansa Stark. He offered to take her with him, but instead settled on a kiss and a song.

As a vagabond, he was arrested by the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]], which at the time also had [[Arya Stark]] in its custody. The Brotherhood put Sandor on trial for Lannister atrocities. Arya testified of the time when he killed a butcher boy on Joffrey's instruction. He chose trial by combat, facing the Brotherhood's leader [[Beric Dondarrion]]. Beric fought with a magic flaming blade, but Sandor managed to defeat him despite his fear of fire. The Brotherhood stripped him of most of his possessions and set him free. Clegane left, but soon headed back to reclaim his tourney winnings by force, but stumbled across Arya as she was escaping and kidnapped her instead. With the intention of ransoming her back to her family, He took her to meet her brother [[Robb Stark]] at the [[Twins]], but arrived during the [[Red Wedding]] massacre. Clegane stole Arya off again in the hopes of ransoming her to another family member. At a roadside inn, they ran afoul of three of Gregor's men and Sandor was seriously injured in the ensuing fight. After his wounds became infected, he was longer able to confine Arya. Still hating him, Arya abandoned Sandor and refused to grant him the mercy of a quick death.

Sandor's fate becomes uncertain after this point. The head of a nearby monastery claimed to have buried the "Hound" after encountering him dying in the woods. He also stabled Sandor's warhorse, Stranger, at the monastery. However, there are hints in the passages that suggest that Sandor may still be alive, and has joined the monastery. Meanwhile, [[Rorge]], recovered Sandor's helm from his gravesite and assumed his identity during a brutal spree of banditry across the [[Saltpans]]. Rorge was later killed by [[Brienne of Tarth]] and the helm was taken by [[Lem Lemoncloak]] after the Brotherhood arrived. Thoros of Myr advised Lem to abandon the helm, seeing it as a symbol of Sandor's rage, but the bitter Lem refused.

Beric Dondarrion

2007-07-29T01:24:14Z

Oorag:

'''Beric Dondarrion''' is the handsome lord of Blackhaven. He fought in the tourney celebrating Ned Stark's appointment as Hand, and remained in King's Landing afterwards. This lead to him being appointed to lead an expedition to bring in [[Gregor Clegane]] who had been raiding the Riverlands after the capture of Tyrion Lannister.

Slain in an ambush, he was resurrected by [[Thoros of Myr]] and became the leader of the outlaw band, the [[Brotherhood without Banners]]. He was killed several more times, but was brought back to life each time. He finally died when he gave his life to bring back [[Catelyn Stark]] whose body had been found by the outlaws after the [[Red Wedding]].

Thoros

2007-07-29T01:19:36Z

Oorag:

'''Thoros of Myr''' is a red priest of [[R'hllor]] from the [[Free Cities|Free City]] of [[Myr]], and a member of the court at [[King's Landing]]. He later becomes an influential member of the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]].

==Appearance==
At King's Landing, Thoros is a fat, bald man in loose red robes. After some time spent in the Brotherhood, he becomes a loose-skinned, grey-haired in faded robes and piecemeal armor.

==History==
Thoros was born in the Free City of Myr and was given to the red priests of R'hllor at a young age. He earned his priesthood but was never overly pious due to his tastes for fighting and drinking. He was sent to King's Landing in hopes he could convert the fire-obsessed King [[Aerys II]], however he was unsuccessful and started to question his own faith. After [[Robert's Rebellion]], he became a frequent drinking companion of King Robert. During the [[Greyjoy Rebellion]], he earned recognition for being the first over the wall at Pyke. He was a frequent tourney mêlée champion, using a sword set aflame with [[wildfire]] to spook the other combatants' horses.

After winning the mêlée at the [[Hand's Tourney]], Thoros joined [[Beric Dondarrion]]'s party charged by [[Eddard Stark]] as [[Hand of the King|Hand]] to seek out [[Gregor Clegane]] and bring him to the king's justice. Gregor Clegane ambushed their party, however, and Beric was killed. While performing a traditional burial ritual of his faith, Thoros inadvertently resurrected him. The two men founded an outlaw group they called the Brotherhood Without Banners to protect the smallfolk from soldiers foraging in the [[Riverlands]]. As an outlaw, Thoros experienced a spiritual reawakening, and continued to be able to resurrect Beric through means beyond his understanding. He also succeeded at many of the feats he had failed to achieved as a red priest, such as seeing visions in flame, and lighting swords on fire with blood and prayer. He never took a leadership position in the Brotherhood, and allowed [[Catelyn Stark|Lady Stoneheart]] to take control of the group despite his disapproval of her motives. The changes she made in the Brotherhood once again lowered Thoros's spirits and self-confidence.

Patchface

2007-07-29T01:18:51Z

Oorag:

'''Patchface''' is the half-wit fool at [[Dragonstone]]. His face is tattooed in motley, earning his name. He was purchased as a slave in [[Volantis]] by Lord Steffon and Cassana Baratheon, the father of Robert and his brothers. They wrote a letter before their trip telling their family of a jester of amazing skill. When their ship sank just off the coast of Storm's End, only Patchface survived, washing ashore several days later. Seemingly changed by the ordael, Patchface shows little skill at jesting and frequently makes morose rhymes about life underwater. Some of his rhymes are prophetic, including one that predicted the [[Red Wedding]], though none of his listeners understand them. He has become the companion of [[Shireen Baratheon]], herself already a sullen child, who sometimes enjoys his jests and other times seems disturbed by them.

Doom of Valyria

2007-07-29T01:16:38Z

Oorag:

The '''Doom of Valyria''' is the name for the cataclysm of an unspecified nature that destroyed the Freehold of [[Valyria]] and caused the collapse of its empire. The Doom fragmented the land surrounding the city itself into numerous smaller islands, creating the [[Smoking Sea]] between them. This occurred approximately a century before the [[War of Conquest|Targaryen Conquest]] of [[Westeros]]. The area is now described as "demon-haunted", and most people are afraid to go there, saying, "The Doom still rules in Valyria." Many of Valyria's secrets, such as the method for creating [[Valyrian steel]], were lost in the Doom. A mosiac of colored glass depicts the event inside the mansion occupied by [[Khal Drogo]] in [[Pentos]].

Aegon's Conquest

2007-07-18T02:43:08Z

Oorag:

The '''War of Conquest''' was the campaign in which [[Aegon I]] conquered [[Westeros]]. Support by his sisters, their dragons and a small army of soldiers the Targaryens submitted six of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Not all the land had to be taken by violence. Some houses actively supported house Targaryen and some submitted voluntarily.

==Precursor==
The war began in [[1 AL]] when [[Aegon I|Aegon Targaryen]] and his two sister-wives [[Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys]] and [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]] led a small army in landing on the east coast of [[Westeros]], at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush. The Targaryens had held the island-fortress of [[Dragonstone]] as the western-most outpost of the [[Valyria|Valyrian Freehold]] for a century before the Doom destroyed Valyria. In the century after the Doom, the "Bleeding Years", they plotted to expand their holdings. However, Aegon had been torn between unifying the continent of Westeros and conquering the [[Free Cities]], which had been experiencing bloody strife in the aftermath of Valyria's fall. He rejected a call from several of the Free Cities to help unite them as a new Freehold and chose the far more ambitious course of invading Westeros. With very limited manpower, the Targaryens knew that their [[dragon]]s would be their trump card.

Before launching his invasion, Aegon ordered the construction of the Painted Table, a table cut into an accurate geographical map of Westeros. He apparently considered all of Westeros as one land, despite the fact that the continent was long split into Seven Kingdoms, and resolved to unify it under his rule.

==The Conquest==

The sequence of events in the War of Conquest is unclear. The following events took place, though not necessarily in this order:

===Conquest of the Riverlands===
The Targaryens marched north and west against King Harren the Black of House Hoare. Harren ruled both the [[Iron Islands]] and the [[Riverlands]] from his newly-completed fortress of [[Harrenhal]], the largest castle in Westeros, considered impregnable against siege or storm. The Targaryens assaulted the castle using their dragons, roasting Harren alive in his tower and routing the ironborn. Aegon took control of the two regions, appointing Lord Vickon [[House Greyjoy|Greyjoy]] of [[Pyke]] as overlord of the Iron Islands, and Lord Edwyn [[House Tully|Tully]] of [[Riverrun]] (who had aided Aegon by leading a rebellion against the ironborn) as overlord of the Riverlands.

===Conquest of the Stormlands===
The Storm King, Argilac the Arrogant, resolved to give battle to the Targaryen host rather than await siege in his fortress of Storm's End. A pitched battle was fought and Aegon's bastard half-brother, Orys [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] slew Argilac. It is unclear whether Orys commanded a separate host or was merely commanding a contingent of Aegon's own army. After the battle, Aegon gave Orys Argilac's arms, motto, castle, lands and daughter as reward for his victory.

===Conquest of the Westerlands===
King Loren [[House Lannister|Lannister]] of the Rock and King [[House Gardener|Mern IX Gardener]] of the [[Reach]] joined their armies to face Aegon in open battle as he marched south and west. Their army, dubbed by historians 'The Host of the Two Kings', numbered 55,000, five thousand of them mounted knights, while the Targaryens had only 10,000 men, many of uncertain loyalty and reliability. The battle went badly for the Targaryens, with their smaller force severely weakened and in danger of routing. Aegon and his sisters deployed all three dragons at once, the only time this happened in the war. Their fires scoured the battlefield, killing more than four thousand men (including King Mern) and giving the battle its name: the Field of Fire. King Loren surrendered to Aegon's authority, whilst Mern's castle of Highgarden was surrendered by his steward, Harlen [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]]. Aegon accepted their oaths of fealty, naming Loren as Lord of Casterly Rock and the [[Westerlands]] and Harlen as Lord of Highgarden and the Reach.

===Conquest of Oldtown===
Aegon's march after the Field of Fire took him to Oldtown, the largest city in Westeros at that time. On the advice of the High Septon, Lord [[House Hightower|Hightower]] threw open the gates and acknowledged Aegon as the rightful King of Westeros. Aegon dated the his reign from his entry into the ancient city. With the [[Faith of the Seven]]'s acknowledgment of Aegon's rightful place as King of Westeros, much remaining opposition among the Faithful dwindled.

===Battle with Dorne===
Aegon led an invasion of [[Dorne]] in an attempt to secure that territory as well. However, the Dornish refused to give open battle out of fear of Aegon's dragons, instead striking supply lines and engaging in guerilla warfare. Their attacks bled Aegon's army to the extent that he concluded that taking and holding Dorne would be too costly, and chose to withdraw and permit Dorne's continued independence.

===Conquest of the North===
A host of northmen under the leadership of the King in [[the North]], Torrhen [[House Stark|Stark]], marched south towards the Riverlands and Aegon mustered his force to meet him on the banks of the Red Fork of the Trident, east of Riverrun. Torrhen intended to engage Aegon in battle, but viewing Aegon's vast host and his dragons made Torrhen realise his folly and instead he bent the knee in submission. Aegon named him Lord of the North and of [[Winterfell]]. In later years, an inn was built on the site of this event, known as the Inn of the Kneeling Man.

===Conquest of the Vale===
[[House Arryn]] of the [[Vale]] also acknowledged King Aegon's supremacy, but the details of how this was accomplished are unclear.

==Aftermath==
Thus Aegon I Targaryen, now known as Aegon the Conqueror, took control of six of the Seven Kingdons. Dorne remained unconquered and was acknowledged as a sovereign state under the rule of the [[House Martell|Martells]] of Sunspear. Aegon devoted the remainder of his realm to consolidation and building a new capital at [[King's Landing]]. Aegon had the swords of his foes melted and reforged into his seat of power, the [[Iron Throne]].

Knight

2007-07-06T06:15:16Z

Oorag: /* Sworn sword */

A '''knight''' is a member of a warrior tradition that is heavily interwoven in the feudal culture of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] and the [[Faith of the Seven]]. Knights occupy a social standing between that of lords and smallfolk.

==History==
Knighthood has its roots in Andal culture and was brought to Westeros during the [[Andal Invasion]]. The military success of the Andals' mounted knights and their steel armament proved vital to the Andals' conquest of Westeros. The influence of the Andals on the culture of Westeros has made knights the backbone of warfare in the Seven Kingdoms. However, knighthood holds less cultural significance in areas of Westeros that are less assimilated to Andal culture, such as the [[North]], the [[Iron Islands]], and [[Dorne]].

==Practices==
Knighthood is a martial position, and knights are expected to fight whenever there is a need for them. They traditionally fight as heavy cavalry, wearing plate armor and fighting from horseback with lance, sword, and shield. Some knights choose to fight with other weapons such as axes, hammers, and spears as well. They own at least one horse, and typically own two: a fierce warhorse and a milder horse for daily riding.

Knights display a coat-of-arms on their shield and surcoat to identify themselves. They generally wear their family arms. Those who do not have family arms, or do not wish to use them, can create their own. These personal arms often portray the manner in which the man achieved knighthood or have some other personal significance. Many knights wear large crests on their helms that embellish the theme of their arms. Wealthy knights often seek to further distinguish themselves by wearing ornate weapons and armor. Lacquered or jeweled armor and capes of exotic materials are some ways that knights can flaunt their status.

==Becoming a knight==
The traditional process to becoming a knight has three stages.

===Page===
A boy that becomes a page is attached to a knight, who becomes the boy's master. The sons of many knights and lords are sent to foster with relatives or allies, while other pages serve their own fathers. The page performs simple errands for the knight, who in turn begins to train the boy in vital skills, such as jousting and swordsmanship. Typical training involves sparring with blunted weapons and tilting at rings.

===Squire===
When a boy reaches adolescence, he graduates to being a squire. Squires join their masters in war, assisting them with their weapons and armor and fighting by their side in battles. Some squires choose to never become a full knight, and live the rest of their lives as squires. This may be because the individual does not have the inclination to live a knight's martial lifestyle, or does not have the funds to properly equip himself.

===Knighthood===
Any knight can proclaim another man a knight for whatever reason he chooses. This usually happens when a squire reaches adulthood and his master judges him worthy of accepting the responsibilities of a knight. A man who has not been raised in the knightly tradition can also be made a knight as a reward for service. This is often granted to soldiers or other smallfolk who have shown bravery or performed a great feat. Knighthood is considered valuable to smallfolk, as it raises a commoner's social standing. Social pressure generally prevents knights from giving out knighthoods for petty or selfish reasons.

The ceremony to create a knight can be simple or complex, however, it always involves the man kneeling before a knight and being tapped on the shoulders with a sword. Ceremonies usually have religious overtones involving the Faith of the Seven. When knighted, men are often charged in the name of the Seven to be just and honorable. More elaborate knighthood ceremonies involve the prospective knight sitting a vigil at a sept while wearing a roughspun tunic to show humility. Newly-knighted men are also sometimes anointed with seven oils by a septon. It is considered a great honor for the recipient when individuals of high status or fame perform the ceremony.

==Types of knights==

===Hedge knight===
A hedge knight is a wandering knight without a master. Hedge knights are so named because they generally must sleep outdoors, under a hedge. Most hedge knights travel in search of employment and often attend jousts to make money and display their prowess in hopes of being hired. Less scrupulous hedge knights put their martial training to use by resorting to banditry. For this reason, hedge knights are often mistrusted and considered disreputable. The term "hedge knight" itself is considered disparaging.

===Sworn sword===
Some landless knights become sworn swords to other men, taking them as their master. They act as retainers for their master, taking food, shelter, and money in exchange for their services in war, should they be needed. During a campaign, lords often hire a large number of sworn swords on a temporary basis. After the campaign ends and the lord has no further need for so many knights, they are released and become hedge knights once again.

===Landed knight===
A landed knight is a knight that takes residence in a keep with accompanying land. They have their own peasants and men-at-arms, and may even take sworn swords. Landed knights are sworn to fight for the lord who holds dominion over their land. While the wealthiest knights manage more land than the poorest lords, landed knights do not have the authority to deliver justice in their land. Rather, they must appeal to their liege lord.

===Northern cavalry===
Because few Northerners worship the Seven, they rarely choose to become knights. However, the warrior tradition of the North is very similar to that of knighthood. Heavy cavalrymen in the North serve a nearly identical function to knights in the South, and are considered knights in all but name.

'''Maekar I''' was king of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. He was born as 4th son of king [[Daeron II]] and was given the Targaryen seat of [[Summerhall]]. Maekar was a capable army commander who served in the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]]. After a number of unexpected deaths in the royal family, he came to the throne in [[Years after Aegon's Landing#Year 221 after Aegon's Landing|221 AL]]. He ruled until [[Years after Aegon's Landing#Year 233 after Aegon's Landing|233 AL]], when he fell in battle against a rebel lord.

==Youth==
Maekar was the son of [[Daeron II]] and [[House Martell#Past and historic:Myriah|Myriah Martell]]. As a fourth son, he was not exepected to rule. He married early and fathered at least four sons and two daughters. He was given the Targaryen summer residence [[Summerhal]] for his own.

==Blackfyre Rebellion==
During the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]] Maekar served as one of the Targaryen force's commanders. It was his shieldwall that held against the "mad" attack of his uncle Aegor “Bittersteel” Rivers in the [[The Battle of the Redgrass Field]] [[Years after Aegon's Landing#Year 196 after Aegon's Landing|196 AL]]. When his brother [[Baelor Targaryen]] attacked the rebel army from the back the battle was won. Later a song was made about the battle of "the Hammer (Baelor) and the Anvil (Maekar)".

Nevertheless Maekar may have felt unappreciated. The victory was more attributed to his brother and the errors of [[Daemon Blackfyre]] then to his efforts. In other things he also stood in the shadow of his brothers, wounding his pride. Raymun Fossoway said of him, "Not as bold as Prince Baelor, nor as clever as Prince Aerys nor as gentle as Prince Rhaeghel, and now he must suffer seeing his own sons overshadowed by his brother's."

==Tourney at Ashford==
In [[Years after Aegon's Landing#Year 208 after Aegon's Landing|208 AL]] a tournament was held in Ashford. Maekar was there to see his sons Dearon and Aerion compete. His fourth son [[Aegon V|Aegon]] was to squire for Daeron. The tournament proved disasterous for Maekar and his sons. Daeron drank himself into a stupor before reaching the tournament, Aegon joined the service of the hedge knight [[Dunk]] in a disguise, and Aerion shamed himself during the joust by killing his opponent's horse. After Dunk attacked Aerion and requested a trial by combat, Maekar had no choice but to support Aerion's call for vengeance as well as Daeron's accusation that Dunk had kidnapped Aegon.

During the trial of seven, Maekar came to blows with his brother Baelor, who fought for Dunk, and delivered a lethal axe blow to Baelor's head. Baelor survived the trial, but died soon after taking off his helmet. Maekar suspected that he would thereafter be held in suspicion as a kinslayer. Dealing with the problems of his sons, Maekar banished Aerion to the [[Free Cities]] and offered Dunk a position in his personal guard to serve as a role model for Aegon. After Dunk refused, Maekar allowed Aegon to accompany Dunk as his squire.

==Later life==
In the [[Great Spring Sickness]] ([[Years after Aegon's Landing#Year 209 after Aegon's Landing|209 AL]]) King Daeron and the children of Baelor died. Maekar's brother [[Aerys I]] succeded to the throne and appointed their half brother [[Brynden Rivers|Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers]] as [[Hand of the King|Hand]]. Maekor had expected to be appointed Hand and could not get along with Bloodraven, so he withdrew from court to his residence at Summerhal.

After Aerys's death, Maekar took the [[Iron Throne]] and had Bloodraven imprisonned.

Maekar ruled until [[Years after Aegon's Landing#Year 233 after Aegon's Landing|233 AL]] when he fell in battle against an unknown rebel lord. He was succeded by his son Aegon.

==Appearence==
In the comic edition of ''[[The Hedge Knight]]'', Maekar is powerfully built and wears a beard. His eyes are violet and his hair is such a pale blonde that it is almost white.

'''Lady''' is a direwolf bonded to Sansa Stark. She is the littermate of [[Grey Wind]], [[Nymeria (direwolf)|Nymeria]], [[Summer]], [[Shaggydog]], and [[Ghost]].

==Appearance==
Lady has grey fur and yellow eyes.

==History==
Lady was discovered by the Starks along with the rest of her litter after her mother was killed by a stag. Lady bonded with Sansa and adopted her mistress's dainty manners and trusting nature. After Nymeria attacked Joffrey Baratheon and was ordered to be destroyed, Cersei mistook Lady for Nymeria and ordered her to be put down. In spite of Sansa's protests, Eddard Stark performed the execution himself, as was his custom. The trusting Lady did not sense Eddard's intention and was killed with a single blow of [[Ice]]. Lady was the first of the Stark direwolves to die.

'''Grey Wind''' is a [[direwolf]] bonded to [[Robb Stark]]. He is the littermate of [[Lady (direwolf)|Lady]], [[Nymeria (direwolf)|Nymeria]], [[Summer]], [[Shaggydog]], and [[Ghost]].

==Appearance==
Grey Wind has grey fur and yellow eyes.

==History==
Like the other [[House Stark|Stark]] direwolves, Grey Wind formed a special bond with his master. Like Robb, Grey Wind grew bold and faithful. He followed Robb around [[Winterfell]] and sat at his feet when he held court. When [[Greatjon Umber]] menaced Robb during an audience, Grey Wind bit several of the lord's fingers off, helping Robb gain the respect of Umber and other Stark bannermen. During the [[War of the Five Kings]], Grey Wind followed Robb into battle and added significantly to Robb's fearsome reputation.

Just before the [[Red Wedding]], Grey Wind sensed the [[House Frey|Freys]]' impending betrayal. He growled at [[Lothar Frey]] and [[Bastard Walder Frey]] upon Robb's arrival at the [[Twins]]. [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] urged Robb to trust Grey Wind's instincts, but Robb had him tethered in the stables during the wedding. While the butchery of the Stark forces took place, Frey men killed Grey Wind. His head was sewn onto Robb's corpse as a final insult to the Starks.

'''Grey Wind''' is a [[direwolf]] bonded to [[Robb Stark]]. He is the littermate of [[Lady (direwolf)]], [[Nymeria (direwolf)|Nymeria]], [[Summer]], [[Shaggydog]], and [[Ghost]].

==Appearance==
Grey Wind has grey fur and yellow eyes.

==History==
Like the other [[House Stark|Stark]] direwolves, Grey Wind formed a special bond with his master. Like Robb, Grey Wind grew bold and faithful. He followed Robb around [[Winterfell]] and sat at his feet when he held court. When [[Greatjon Umber]] menaced Robb during an audience, Grey Wind bit several of the lord's fingers off, helping Robb gain the respect of Umber and other Stark bannermen. During the [[War of the Five Kings]], Grey Wind followed Robb into battle and added significantly to Robb's fearsome reputation.

Just before the [[Red Wedding]], Grey Wind sensed the [[House Frey|Freys]]' impending betrayal. He growled at [[Lothar Frey]] and [[Bastard Walder Frey]] upon Robb's arrival at the [[Twins]]. [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] urged Robb to trust Grey Wind's instincts, but Robb had him tethered in the stables during the wedding. While the butchery of the Stark forces took place, Frey men killed Grey Wind. His head was sewn onto Robb's corpse as a final insult to the Starks.

'''Aegon IV''', known as '''Aegon the Unworthy''', is considered one of the worst Targaryen kings. He sired numberous bastards and had them all legitimized on his deathbed.

==Biography==
During his youth Aegon had an affair with his cousin [[Daena the Defiant]]. Daena had a child from him who would become [[Daemon Blackfire]] but refused to say who his father was. When Daemon distinguished himself during a tournament Aegon acknowledged him and gave him the sword [[Blackfire]]. 

Aegon was goodlooking an had a lot of women, highborn and lowborn. People said that the Targaryen words might be "Fire and Blood" but Aegon IV's motto was "Wash her and bring her to my bed". 
One of his [[Kingsguard]] knights, [[House Toyne|Terrence Toyne]], was caught sleeping with one of his mistresses and Aegon had booth their heads. The brothers of Terrence Toyne tried to avenge him but Aegon's brother Aemon was able to prevent this but was killed in the attemp.

==Great Bastards==
Amoung the bastards he fathered were the four "Great Bastards", so called because they were noble on booth sides. The were:
* [[Daemon Blackfyre]]
* [[Aegor Rivers|Aegor Rivers "Bittersteel"]]
* [[Shiera Seastar]]
* [[Brynden Rivers|Brynden Rivers "Bloodraven"]]

At his deathbed he legitimized them and placed them on the succession line. Although they still came after the firstborn [[Daeron II]], a few years after his Aegon's death Daemon Blackfyre rose against his half brother. The Blackfyres continued to trouble the Targaryens for almost 100 year.

Timett

2007-06-13T00:40:08Z

Oorag:

'''Timett son of Timett''', also known as '''Timett One-Eye''', is a red hand, a type of warleader, of the [[Burned Men]], one of the most feared of the [[clans of the Mountains of the Moon]]. He is a young man with a burned eye.

==History==
During rite of manhood for his clan, Timett burned off one of his eyes with a hot knife. Because the typical sacrifice for the rite is a nipple or finger, the impressed clan elders immediately named him a red hand of the tribe. Timett was very young for this position, but he inspired fear even among his fellow clansmen.

Before the age of twenty, Timett joined the group of clansmen who chose to follow [[Tyrion Lannister]] and join the army of [[Tywin Lannister]]. He served as the leader of the Burned Men in the group. He fought in the [[War of the Five Kings#Battles of Lannister, Tully and Stark|Battle of the Green Fork]], vaulting from his horse when it died during the charge. After the battle, he looted the bodies of the slain with his Burned Men.

Timett then followed Tyrion to [[King's Landing]]. He became one of Tyrion's chief thugs, along with [[Bronn]] and [[Shagga]], during Tyrion's tenure as [[Hand of the King]]. Before the [[War of the Five Kings#Battles ending the war|Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion sent Timett with the rest of the remaining clansmen to the [[Kingswood]], where he raided enemy forces. He attempted to return to serve Tyrion, but was driven off because of Tyrion's injury. He then returned with his men to the Mountains of the Moon.

Years after Aegon's Conquest

2007-06-04T00:14:07Z

Oorag: /* Year 300 after Aegon's Landing */

__NOTOC__

After Aegon's Conquest and the new rule of the Targaryen kings over the Seven Kingdoms of old, the need of a common calendar appeared.

It was chosen to take [[Aegon's Landing]] to Westeros in what would become tha capital city of [[King's Landing]] as an [[w:Epoch (reference date)|epoch]]. Maesters and educated people counted the years in relation to that event.

It was not unusual, however, both for common people and nobles alike, to refer to particular years with simpler appelatives such as "The second year of Robert's reign" or "The Year of the False Spring" instead.

Oorag: /* Births */

__NOTOC__

After Aegon's Conquest and the new rule of the Targaryen kings over the Seven Kingdoms of old, the need of a common calendar appeared.

It was chosen to take [[Aegon's Landing]] to Westeros in what would become tha capital city of [[King's Landing]] as an [[w:Epoch (reference date)|epoch]]. Maesters and educated people counted the years in relation to that event.

It was not unusual, however, both for common people and nobles alike, to refer to particular years with simpler appelatives such as "The second year of Robert's reign" or "The Year of the False Spring" instead.

Children of the Forest

2007-05-30T02:57:39Z

Oorag:

The '''Children of the Forest''' are the original sentient inhabitant of [[Westeros]]. They are a mysterious and magical people who have not been seen by humans for thousands of years.

==Appearance==
The appearance of the children is not definitively known. Tales describe them as diminutive humanoid creatures, dark and beautiful.

==History==
Approximately 12,000 years before [[Aegon's Landing]], the children ruled the entire continent of Westeros, worshiping nameless nature spirits that were later called the [[Old Gods]]. Around this time the [[First Men]] crossed into Westeros from the [[eastern continent]] via the Arm of Dorne. Their burning of the great weirwoods caused the children to go to war against them. The children wielded obsidian weapons and bows in battle, but also used powerful magic. They shattered the Arm of Dorne, forming the archipelago later known as the [[Stepstones]], but it was not enough to stop the advance of the First Men. Eventually, the war ended in a truce known as the Pact, which was made on the Isle of Faces in the midst of the lake known as [[Gods Eye]]. The children's [[greenseer]]s and wood dancers met with the First Men and terms were agreed: the Children retained the standing forests and the First Men were able to settle the open lands. Faces were carved on all the trees of the island to cement the agreement, with the sacred order of green men established to maintain it, and the Pact endured for some four thousand years.

Approximately eight thousand years before Aegon's Landing, during an extended period of winter known as the [[Long Night]], the Children of the Forest joined with the First Men, to fight against the [[Others]] in the [[Battle for the Dawn]]. Eventually the Others were driven back into the Lands of Always Winter.

The children of the forest taught the worship the Old Gods to the First Men, but this was largely supplanted in the South by the [[Faith of the Seven]] after the [[Andal Invasion]]. Relations between the children and humans grew distant over the years, until they ceased altogether. By the time of Aegon's Landing, humans had not seen the children for thousands of years.

'''Giants''' are a race of sentient humanoids that live in the extreme north of [[Westeros]].

==Biology==
Giants are about ten to twelve feet in height. They are capable of great feats of strength such as wrenching the bars of an iron gate apart. They are covered a shaggy pelt of fur that is thicker below their waists than above. The fur of older giants becomes grey and streaked with white. Their heads are thrust forward from their shoulder blades. The have squashed-in faces with aquare teeth and tiny eyes amidst folds of horny flesh. Their eyesight is poor and they snuffle constantly, smelling as much as they see. They have sloped chests, and their lower torsos are about half again as wide as their upper torsos. Their arms hang lower than a man's, while their legs are shorter than their arms, ending in splayed and horny feet that need no shoes even in the coldest weather.

==Culture==
Giants do not use much technology. They weild huge clubs that are often no more than logs, though some tie boulders to the end to make crude mauls. They ride mammoths as steeds. They speak the Old Tongue of the [[First Men]]. Songs of the [[wildlings]] tell that giants were at one time more plentiful, but they were hunted by men and driven from their stone halls. By the time Mance Rayder became [[King-Beyond-the-Wall]], there were only several hundred remaining. Giants do not have kings, but [[Mag the Mighty]] was considered their greatest warrior at that time.

Some wildlings believe that particularly large men in the north have giant blood in them, but there have been no recorded incidents of crossbreeding.

Mance Rayder

2007-05-29T05:16:05Z

Oorag:

'''Mance''' was once a man of the [[Night's Watch]] before breaking his vows and abandoning his post. He has since become extremely influential among the [[wildlings]], and called [[King-Beyond-the-Wall|"The King Beyond the Wall"]]. He is an unremarkable-looking man in his middle years, with a fondness for music.

{{spoiler}}

Mance was actually a wilding child, but was taken by the Night's Watch and raised as one of them. He was a loyal member of the Night's Watch for most of his life until he suffered an injury and was healed by a wildling woman. While he recuperated, she mended his torn cape with swatches of red fabric. Upon returning to the Wall, the Night's Watch commanders required him to replace his mended cape with one of uniform black. This minor infringement of freedom caused him to abandon the Night's Watch and live with the wildlings in the way he wished.

Mance undertook the monumental task of uniting the notoriously individualistic wildlings under his guidance to invade Westeros. When [[Jon Snow]] met with Mance under pretext of joining his campaign, Mance explained that he had taken possession of a magic horn that could topple [[the Wall]], and would use it as a last resort if he could not bypass it militarily. However, Mance revealed that the wildings, including his own people, had been hunted by the [[Others]] and their wights, and were unable to stop them. His true aim therefore was not to destroy the Wall, but to use it as a shield against the Others.

Mance undertook his invasion of the Wall while it was manned by a skeleton crew commanded by Jon Snow. Despite overwhelming odds, Jon successfully held Mance's forces at bay long enough for Stannis's unexpected reinforcements to arrive and demolish the disorganized wildling army. Jon smuggled Mance's son away from the Wall in the care of [[Samwell Tarly]] because he knew that [[House Baratheon#Stannis|Stannis's]] sorceress [[Melisandre]] was looking to sacrifice a child of royal blood, and that Mance's title of "King Beyond the Wall" could be construed as a royal lineage.

Maesters

2007-05-28T19:15:54Z

Oorag:

The '''maesters''' are an order of scholars, healers and scientists who are trained at a school called the [[Citadel]].

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

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

=== Grand Maester ===
The Grand Maester is considered the senior member of the Order and serves as its representative to the King. He sits on the [[Small Council]] and acts as the King's advisor. The Grand Maester wears many interwoven maester chains to indicate his high office, but these do not reflect his true studies. Gems are woven into the chains.

== The Citadel ==

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

== Traditions and Culture ==
Maesters begin their training as novices in the Citadel. Once they begin their study and have been seen as proficient in a particular course of study they are tested and awarded a link of a certain metal to reflect their skill and knowledge. A student with a link is known as an acolyte until he has a full chain; it is not until he has completed extensive study in various subjects and has earned enough links to form a chain (to be worn around the neck) that he is considered worthy of advancement to the title of Maester, no longer a student but a peer. There have been whispers that the maesters have held much more power and sway than they are ready to admit. Archmaester [[Marwyn]] suspects that they had a role in the demise of [[House Targaryen]]'s [[dragon]]s. Some consider most maesters to be categorically opposed to magic and its influence on [[Westeros]].

=== The collar ===
The collar signifies that maesters do not serve themselves, but are instead servants of all of Westeros. The collar consists of several links of different types of metal. These chains are formed from every metal known to man, but almost no maester will ever wear them all. These metals include:
* Black iron (Ravenry)
* Brass
* Bronze (Astronomy)
* Copper (History)
* Gold (Economics)
* Iron (Warcraft)
* Lead
* Pale steel (Smithing)
* Pewter
* Platinum
* Red gold
* Silver (Medicine and healing)
* Steel
* Tin
* [[Valyrian steel]] (Magic and the occult) - Only one in one hundred holds a link of Valyrian steel; the study of magic is looked down upon by most Maesters.

=== Practices and observances ===
Maesters chiefly communicate through messenger ravens. One of the typical duties of a maester is care of a keep's ravens. A special breed of white ravens that are larger and more intelligent than average are maintained at the Citadel for important communications. Maesters also constantly monitor the seasons. When the seasons are about to change, they send white ravens to spread the announcement throughout the realm. Maesters who are skilled in astronomy often watch the skies and study constellations. When the red comet appeared during the events of the [[War of the Five Kings]], the maesters were among the first to notice.

==Notable Members==
===Grand Maester Pycelle===
Pycelle is a maester of around 80 years and has served as Grand Maester on several kings' [[Small Council]]s over the last few decades. Though intelligent and highly educated, Pycelle's effectiveness on the king's court has been dulled by his advanced age. He sometimes falls asleep during meetings.

Despite his oath to serve the King, Pycelle has more loyalties to the [[House Lannister|Lannister]] family. At the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]], Pycelle convinced [[Aerys II]] that [[Tywin Lannister]]'s invasion force was reinforcements. He contributed to the death of [[Jon Arryn]] by stopping Maester Coleman's effective treatment, fearing what he would reveal if he should live. His complicity in Cersei's plots brought him in conflict with [[Tyrion Lannister]], who shaved Pycelle's signature white beard while interrogating him on Cersei's actions. Pycelle's self-confidence was shaken after his shaving, and Cersei perceived him to be a broken man. He began objecting to Cersei's more paranoid schemes, which caused her to contemplate having him replaced. His future in the court was uncertain until Cersei's imprisonment by the [[Faith]]. In spite of his past failings in court intrigue, Pycelle successfully seized control of King Tommen and the council in Cersei's absence. He is last reported as offering [[Kevan Lannister]] the Regency of the Seven Kingdoms.

===Other Members===
*Archmaester Marwyn, the order's leading researcher into the occult and magic.
*[[Maester Aemon]], Maester of the [[Night's Watch]], one of three living members of [[House Targaryen]]. Died of a chill after crossing by sea to the [[Free Cities]] in the company of his student, [[Samwell Tarly]].
*Maester Cressen, Maester at Dragonstone and advisor to [[Stannis Baratheon]]. He drank from the cup of poison that was meant for Stannis' red priestess, [[Melisandre]]. The poison did not affect Melisandre, but Cressen was still killed.
*Maester Harmune, a maester for the [[Night's Watch]] at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea.
*Maester [[Luwin]], Maester of [[Winterfell]] and trusted advisor to [[House Stark]]. Killed during fighting in [[Winterfell]] between [[House Greyjoy]] and [[House Bolton]]. One of the few maesters to have studied magic.
*Maester Mullin, a maester for the [[Night's Watch]] at the Shadow Tower.
*Maester Pylos, successor to Cressen at Dragonstone. Aided [[Davos Seaworth]] in smuggling out [[Edric Storm]], in order to spare him from being burned as a sacrifice by [[Melisandre]].
*[[Qyburn]], advisor to Queen Cersei. Former maester stripped of his chain and title by the Citadel for conducting immoral research (vivisection and other experiments performed on live human subjects).
*Novice [[Samwell Tarly]], Brother of the [[Night's Watch]] and student of Maester Aemon.
*[[Novice Pate]], Archmaester Walgrave's assistant, killed by the [[Alchemist]]. Some speculate that [[Jaqen H'ghar]] was the Alchemist, and took up Pate's identity after killing him.

Aurane Waters

2007-05-28T04:32:54Z

Oorag:

'''Aurane Waters''', also called the '''Bastard of Driftmark''' becomes the [[Small Council|Master of Ships]] during the reign of Cersei Lannister.

==Biography==
Aurane is a scion of [[House Velaryon]] and fought for [[Stannis Baratheon]] as a sellsail during the [[War of the Five Kings]].

Cersei granted him the position of Master of Ships on Joffrey's Small Council. He received funds to build a small fleet of dromonds, but after the imprisonment of Cercei, Aurane fled with his new ships.

==Appearance==
Aurane Waters is a handsome man with the [[Valyria]]n features of House Velaryon. His appearance reminded Cersei of [[Rhaegar Targaryen]].

Faceless Men

2007-05-27T20:12:16Z

Oorag:

The '''Guild of the Faceless Men''' is a religious society of assassins who worship the [[Many-Faced God]], a god of death.

==Religion==
The Guild originated in the volcanic slave mines of [[Valyria]]. Their founder came to believe that Valyria's diverse slave population all prayed to the same god of death in many different incarnations. The Guild believes that the death gods of all religions are faces of a single, Many-Faced God. In the Guild's [[House of Black and White]], followers wear black and white robes and perform religious duties for the community, such as tending to the dead. The House contains a public shrine with idols of many death gods, including the Stranger of the [[Faith of the Seven|Seven]], but there are no formal services. Some visiting worshipers drink from a black cup that provides a painless death. A phrase associated with the cult of the Many-Faced God is "valar morghulis," translated from Valyrian as "all men must die"; a response to this is "valar dohaeris, or "all men must serve."

==Assassinations==
Followers of Him of Many Faces consider death to be a merciful end to suffering. For a price, the Guild will agree to kill anyone in the world, considering this contract killing to be a sacrament of their god. An elite group of followers within the Guild, called the Faceless Men, are trained to perform this task. Despite their name, Faceless Men are occasionally women. They possess magical abilities that allow them to change their appearance at will. Part of their training includes discarding their true identity and thinking of themselves as "no one". They use a variety of methods to kill their targets, including a poison called "the strangler". The cost of their services varies prominence and security of the target. It was thought that if the [[Seven Kingdoms]] were to hire a Faceless Man for [[Daenerys Targaryen]], it would cost as much as the hiring of an army.

==Faceless Men identities==
A [[Kindly Man]] seems to have some position of authority in the Guild, as he is the one who takes charge of Arya Stark's training. A [[Waif]] works in the House of Black and White handling poisons. Though she is 36 years old, she has a shrunken and childlike appearance brought about by exposure to poisons. Several more Faceless Men are seen by Arya at the House of Black and White. She describes them as "fat fellow," "stern face," "handsome face," "squinter," "lordling", and "starved man." A Faceless Man passing himself off as a [[Lorath]]i criminal named [[Jaqen H'ghar]] became a recruit of the [[Night's Watch]], then joined the [[Brave Companions]] before changing his identity. A man calling himself the [[Alchemist]] poisoned [[Novice Pate]] and presumably took his place at the [[Citadel]]. It is difficult to determine whether any of these identities are used by the same Faceless Man.

Olyvar Frey

2007-05-24T01:35:59Z

Oorag: some rewording, and deleted the redundant section.

'''Olyvar Frey''' (born [[281 AL]]) is the eighteenth son of [[Lord Walder Frey]], the fourth with his sixth wife Bethany Rosby. He is a passionate and anxious young man.

During the [[War of the Five Kings]] he squired for [[Robb Stark]], until the Freys abandoned the cause.

==Biography==
Robb Stark took Olyvar as a squire as part of the pact sealed between [[Catelyn Stark]] and Lord Walder to join the Freys to the Stark cause. Two years older than Robb, Olyvar was considered an excellent squire who proved his devotion to Robb and the Starks. He fought by Robb's side in the [[War of the Five Kings#Battles of Lannister, Tully and Stark|Battle of the Whispering Woods]] and other battles.

When the Freys abandoned Robb's cause due to his marriage to [[Jeyne Westerling]], Olyvar wished to stay with him, but ultimately returned to his family. He did not participate in the [[Red Wedding]], and [[Ryman Frey]] claimed that he could not attend because he was "on duty". It is possible that the other Freys kept him away due to his friendship with Robb. No information has yet come to light about his reaction to the Red Wedding or his actions afterwards.

Timett

2007-05-23T02:36:19Z

Oorag:

'''Timett son of Timett''' is a red hand, a type of warleader, of the [[Burned Men]], one of the most feared of the [[clans of the Mountains of the Moon]]. He is a young man with a burned eye.

==History==
During rite of manhood for his clan, Timett burned off one of his eyes with a hot knife. Because the typical sacrifice for the rite is a nipple or finger, the impressed clan elders immediately named him a red hand of the tribe. Timett was very young for this position, but he inspired fear even among his fellow clansmen.

Timett joined the group of clansmen who chose to follow [[Tyrion Lannister]] and join the army of [[Tywin Lannister]]. He served as the leader of the Burned Men in the group. He fought in the [[War of the Five Kings#Battles of Lannister, Tully and Stark|Battle of the Green Fork]], vaulting from his horse when it died during the charge. After the battle, he looted the bodies of the slain with his Burned Men.

Timett then followed Tyrion to [[King's Landing]]. He became one of Tyrion's chief thugs, along with [[Bronn]] and [[Shagga]], during Tyrion's tenure as [[Hand of the King]]. Before the [[War of the Five Kings#Battles ending the war|Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion sent Timett with the rest of the remaining clansmen to the [[Kingswood]], where he raided enemy forces. He attempted to return to serve Tyrion, but was driven off because of Tyrion's injury. He then returned with his men to the Mountains of the Moon.

'''Jon Arryn''' ( [[225 AL]] - [[297 AL]]) was a member of [[House Arryn]]. During his life he was [[Lord paramount]] of the Vale and [[Hand of the King]].

==Life ==
===Youth===
Jon was born in [[225 AL]] the son of Lord Jasper Arryn. Not much is known about his youth or his parents. He had a younger brother, Ronnel, and a sister, Alys, who married [[House Waynwood|Elys Waynwood]].

===Robert's Rebellion===
:{{main|Robert's Rebellion}}

Jon fostered [[Eddard Stark]] and [[Robert Baratheon]] as his wards in the Vale. As they grew, the two boys became close companions and regarded Jon as a second father. After Aerys II demanded that Jon turn them over for a likely execution, Jon refused and raised his banners in revolt. After fighting with several lords who resisted the rebellion, Jon fought in the [[Robert%27s_Rebellion#Battle_of_the_Bells|Battle of the Bells]] and the [[Battle of the Trident]]. When Robert Baratheon ascended to the [[Iron Throne]], he appointed Jon as his [[Hand of the King|Hand]].

===As Hand of the King===
The first task Jon undertook was making peace with [[Dorne]]. Dorne was incensed by the deaths of Lewyn and Elia Martell during the war. [[Oberyn Martell]] tried to raise the kingdom to support [[Viserys Targaryen]], the surviving son of Aerys. In response, Jon returned the bones of Lewyn and was able to broker a peace with [[Doran Martell]].

To strengthen Robert's hold on the throne, Jon negotiated Robert's marriage with Cersei Lannister. Robert left Jon with much of the responsibility of running the [[Seven Kingdoms]], but Jon could not stop Robert from spending huge amounts of money on tournaments and excess, putting the nation in serious debt.

Before his death, Jon worked with [[Stannis Baratheon]] to discover that [[Cersei Lannister]]'s children were fathered not by Robert but by the Queen's brother, [[Jaime Lannister]]. Before he could publicly reveal this information, he died. In a letter to her sister, Lysa accused the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] of poisoning him, but it was later revealed that she poisoned him herself on the instigation of [[Petyr Baelish]].

==Marriages and heirs==
Jon Arryn was married three times, first to [[House Royce|Jeyne Royce]], and then to Rowena Arryn a cousin. Neither marriages produced a child. Because he had no children, he had appointed a number of heirs who died one after another.
First his nephew Elbert Arryn, the son of his younger brother Ronnel. After Elbert was executed by [[Aerys II]], Denys Arryn became heir. He was of a lower branch of House Arryn from [[Gulltown]] and had married Jon's niece. He was killed in the Battle of the Bells.

During the Rebellion, Jon married a third time to [[Lysa Tully]], the daughter of [[Hoster Tully]]. This helped gained the support of the [[Riverlands]] for the war, however their marriage was loveless. Lysa found Jon to be too old and hated his bad breath. After several miscarriages Lysa gave Jon a sickly son and heir, [[Robert Arryn]].

War of the Five Kings

2007-05-22T01:58:37Z

Oorag: /* References and sources */

The '''War of the Five Kings''' is a war that takes place after the death of King [[Robert Baratheon]]. It resulted from three people, [[Joffrey Baratheon]], [[Stannis Baratheon]], and [[Renly Baratheon]], claiming the [[Iron Throne]], and two people, [[Robb Stark]] and [[Balon Greyjoy]], attempting to secede their lands from the [[Seven Kingdoms]].

==Causes==
The death of [[Jon Arryn]], Robert's first [[Hand of the King]], is arguably the first significant development. Arryn took sick unexpectedly and died within a few days. Stannis Baratheon fled [[King’s Landing]] fearing for his family’s safety and believing Jon was murdered for knowing the truth: that the royal children were, in fact, bastard children of an incestuous union between [[Cersei Lannister|Queen Cersei]] and her brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]]. Robert traveled north to [[Winterfell]] to ask his friend [[Eddard Stark]] to become his new Hand. [[Lysa Arryn]] sent a coded letter to her sister [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]], Eddard's wife, claiming that the Lannisters had her husband murdered. Catelyn convinced her husband to go south and investigate as Hand. During the King's trip to Winterfell, [[Bran Stark]], Eddard and Catelyn's son, had seen the queen and her brother having sex while climbing the walls of the castle. Jaime Lannister threw the child from the tower to ensure that the secret died with him, but the boy survived, lingering in a coma. Some days after the King and Hand had left, a hired assassin came to kill the still-comatose lad, but was prevented from doing so by the boy's pet [[direwolf]]. Lady Catelyn elected to go south to inform her husband of the attack.

When she arrived in King's Landing, she was met by her old friend, [[Petyr Baelish]], who told her that the hired assassin's dagger had belonged to [[Tyrion Lannister]], another brother of the queen. This was a lie, but neither Catelyn nor Eddard suspected it. Eddard told his wife to return home. While on the return journey, she encountered Tyrion at a roadside inn, and had him arrested for the attack on Bran. She took him to her sister in the [[Vale]], where Tyrion faced trial by combat for his alleged crimes. He won his freedom, but the mere fact of his arrest had inflamed tensions with house Lannister. Eddard also investigated Jon Arryn's death and found out the truth about Cersei's children. Eddard revealed his knowledge to the queen, ordering her to go into exile with her children. Instead, Cersei had Robert given unusually potent wine, while he was on a hunt. While in this inebriated state, he was mauled by a boar. The dying king ordered that Eddard serve as his regent until Joffrey came of age, but Eddard sent a letter offering Stannis the throne, as Stannis was the rightful heir. The queen learned of Eddard's plot and had him arrested and imprisoned. Sensing a power struggle, Renly Baratheon and [[Loras Tyrell]] fled King’s Landing. Learning of Eddard's arrest, his son and heir [[Robb Stark]] called his father's armies together and marched south. Although there was only one king in the realm, the newly-crowned King Joffrey, the War of the Five Kings had begun.

===Battles of Lannister, Tully and Stark===
* '''Battle of Golden Tooth.''' Jaime Lannister led some 15,000 men against the defensive encampment of 4,000 men east of Golden Tooth, under the command of Lord Vance and Lord Clement Piper. Jaime’s host won an easy victory. Lord Vance and Lord Darry were killed while Lord Piper led the survivors back to [[Riverrun]]. The new Lord Karyl Vance also led some survivors away to attack the Lannister supply lines.
* '''Battle of Riverrun.''' [[Edmure Tully]] was training an army of some 16,000 levies near [[Riverrun]], when Jaime Lannister’s host attacked. Jaime won another easy victory. Edmure was captured along with many of his bannermen and Lord Tytos Blackwood led the survivors into Riverrun as Jaime’s host besieged the castle.
*'''Battle of Mummer's Ford and the Brotherhood without Banners.*''' Tywin Lannister had Gregor Clegane ravage some of the countryside in the Riverlands. At the request of Ser Marq Piper and Ser Karyl Vance, Eddard agreed to send a force to deal with Clegane and bring him to justice. However, Ned's leg was broken by an altercation with Jaime Lannister and he could not lead himself. Tywin was hoping for an ambush that would give him Ned so he could trade him for Tyrion. Ned named[[Beric Dondarrion]] to lead the force and sent [[Thoros of Myr]], Lord Raymun Darry, Ser Gladden Wylde and Lord Lothar Mallory along with Alyn of Winterfell from his own guard to fight alongside him. The force numbered 120 not including Piper and Vance's men. Once word reached them of the Battle of Golden Tooth, Piper and Vance left on their own to attack the Lannister supply lines and help break the siege of Riverrun. Sometime after the beginning of the siege, Tywin brought his forces numbering 20,000 into the Riverlands. As Beric crossed the Mummer's Ford, Tywin and Gregor attacked from all sides, killing Gladden Wylde and Lothar Mallory. Gregor himself killed Raymun and mortally wounded Beric. Thoros and Alyn rallied the survivors and escaped. Thoros inadvertinty ressurected Beric while performing burial services for him. Beric and Thoros continued to lead the remaining men against Gregor and the Lannisters. After the death of Eddard, the group became an outlaw organization called the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]].
*'''Conquering the Riverlands.''' Tywin Lannister led an army of 20,000 men north from the Golden Road to travel across the Trident conquering the Riverlord’s holdfasts of all but the Twins, Riverrun and Seaguard. Tywin took Ravenhall, as Lord Tytos Blackwood was trapped in Riverrun. Lady Shella Whent yields [[Harrenhal]] as she had no soldiers to defend it. Gregor Clegane led attacks that burnt out the Pipers and Brackens. In this campaign Ser Cedric Payne was killed, therefore leaving Podrick Payne, his squire with Ser Lorimer the Belly. [[Kevan Lannister]] had Lorimer hanged for stealing from the camp supplies and had Podrick transferred over to be Tyrion's squire.
*'''Battle of the Green Fork.''' Lord Tywin’s army met its first real opposition as [[House Stark]] entered the war on behalf of [[House Tully]]. [[Roose Bolton]] planned a night attack, leading roughly 16,000 men, however Addam Marbrand’s outriders saw them coming and roused Tywin’s army in time to prepare for battle. Tywin’s host won a bloody victory but realized the battle was only a diversion, as Robb Stark, having won House Frey to his cause, split his forces, crossing the river with his cavalry. Lord Halys Hornwood and Ser Pate of the Blue Fork were killed, Lord Medgar Cerwyn was captured but died later from a wound taken, other captives taken were Harrion Karstark, Ser Wylis Manderly, Ser Donnel Locke, Ser Jared Frey, Ser Hosteen Frey, Ser Danwell Frey and Ronel Rivers.

*'''Battle of the Whispering Wood.''' Having split his cavalry from his main force prior to the Battle of the Green Fork, Robb Stark forged an alliance with House Frey in order to cross the river and gain fresh troops. Resupplied, he brought these forces to bear against those besieging Riverrun, first attacking the northernmost camp led by Jaime Lannister in a surprise night raid. As Jaime and his forces were caught asleep and completely off guard, the battle quickly became a slaughter. Seeing the battle was lost, Jaime attempted to cut his way to Robb Stark, hoping that the death of the northern leader would create chaos and confusion in the northmen. He slew many in the attempt, including several members of Robb's personal bodyguard, but was captured before he could succeed.

*'''Battle of the Camps.''' The night after the Whispering Wood, [[Brynden Tully]] led a force against the sleeping, leaderless north camp at Riverrun and quickly defeated them. Lord Andros Brax led his men in the west camp to cross the river, however most of their rafts were destroy by the defenders of Riverrun. Those that reached the northern side were easily defeated by Ser Bryden. Robb then attacked the west camp with the remainder of his men. Seeing Robb’s attack, Lord Tytos Blackwood also attacked the west camp. Ser Forley Prester led the remaining south camp back to Golden Tooth.

===The crowning of kings===
During this time in the war, various men began crowning themselves kings. First was [[Renly Baratheon]], who was declared King of the Seven Kingdoms the by his bannermen of the Stormlands and [[House Tyrell]] after his wedding to [[Margaery Tyrell]], believing he was better suited to the [[Iron Throne]] than either his nephew Joffrey or elder brother Stannis. Next was Robb Stark, who was declared King of the North and the Riverlands by his bannermen and House Tully, who did not want to submit to a Lannister-backed reign. The third king was [[Stannis Baratheon]], who was declared king by his few bannermen, feeling it was his duty to take the Iron Throne as King Robert’s closest relative, given the illegitimacy of Robert's children. Last was [[Balon Greyjoy]], who declared himself King of the Isles by his bannermen in an attempt to secede from the Seven Kingdoms and ravage the mainland.

*'''Reclaiming the Trident.''' King Robb gave his Riverlords leave to reclaim their lands. Tytos Blackwood reclaimed Raventree as the Lannister men fled and scorched the land. Jonos Bracken reclaimed Stone Hedge after a fierce battle costing the life of his nephew and heir Hendry. Darry bannermen also reclaimed Darry for their young Lord Lyman Darry. Karyl Vance and Marq Piper took riding parties to attack Lannister foragers. Much later, the other bannermen were also able to reclaim their holdfasts as the Lannisters retreated.
*'''Sack of Darry''' Gregor Clegane attacked the castle with his fierce company. After his victory over the garrison, he had the entire household put to the sword, including the young Lord Lyman.

*'''Battle of Moat Cailin.''' [[Victarion Greyjoy]] led the entire Iron Fleet of a hundred ships up the Saltspear Bay to descend upon the 400 men left to defend the North in the [[Neck]]. Attacking from the north, the natural defenses of the keep were useless and the Northmen were easily defeated by the ironmen.
*'''Battle of Deepwood Motte.''' [[Asha Greyjoy]] led a dozen ships around Sea Dragon’s Point in the far north to attack the small wooden keep of House Glover located just off the coast. The keep was easily overrun by the ironmen, making captives of Sybell Glover, her young children Gawen and Erena, and Larence Snow, the ward of Galbert Glover.
*'''Battle of Stony Shore.''' [[Theon Greyjoy]] led eight ships in raiding along the Stony Shore. Benfred Tallhart led an undisciplined company he had dubbed the Young Hares to deal with the raiders. Theon ambushed this company, killing them all, while the only ironmen casualty was Todric, killed by Theon after the battle.
*'''Battle of Torrhen’s Square.''' [[Dagmar Cleftjaw]] was commanded to besiege the small keep by Theon in a ruse to draw out [[Rodrik Cassel]] and the guards of Winterfell. Rodrik arrived as planned to lift the siege, easily defeating the ironmen, only to hear that Winterfell had fallen in his absence.

*'''Battle of Winterfell.''' Theon Greyjoy descended on the few remaining guards with only twenty men, storming the castle at night and conquering the mighty castle with ease. Theon declared himself the Prince of Winterfell and took [[Ramsay Bolton]], in the disguise of "Reek", as a retainer. [[Bran Stark]], [[Rickon Stark]], [[Little Walder Frey]], [[Big Walder Frey]], [[Meera Reed]], [[Jojen Reed]] and Beth Cassel were all kept as hostages. However, Brandon, Rickon, Jojen and Meera escaped. To avoid embarrassment, Theon had Ramsay kill two boys in place of the Starks and announced to the world that they were dead.

*'''Battle of Oxcross.''' [[Stafford Lannister]] was charged to raise a new Lannister army after the defeat at Riverrun. Having no fear of being attacked in the Westlands, he posted few sentries. One night during their training, Brynden Tully quietly killed the sentries, and Robb’s army took the host by surprise, winning Robb an easy victory and badly bleeding the Lannister host. Stafford was killed by [[Rickard Karstark]] and Rupert Brax was also killed. Lymond Vikary and Antario Jast as well as Martyn Lannister were captured. There was a report that Lord Crakehall was killed but this seems inaccurate as Lord Roland Crakehall appears alive after the Battle of the Blackwater. On the North’s side, [[Stevron Frey]] was wounded and died three days later.
*'''Battle of Ashmark.''' After Oxcross, King Robb’s army fell on the nearby keep of [[House Marbrand]]. The keep was easily sacked and the castellan was killed.

*'''Siege of Storm’s End.''' Stannis Baratheon, realizing he did not have the strength to sack King’s Landing, besieged his brother’s castle with his 5,000 men. Hearing of this, Renly marched his mounted forces of 20,000 from Bitterbridge to deal with his brother. After a failed parlay where neither would yield, Stannis offered his younger brother the night to reconsider before fighting the battle at dawn. While preparing for battle, Renly was killed by a shadow, ending the battle before it began. Many of Renly’s bannermen now swore allegiance to Stannis; however, [[Cortnay Penrose]] refused to yield the Storm's End, partially because the safety of his ward, [[Edric Storm]], a bastard son of [[Robert Baratheon]], could not be guaranteed. [[Loras Tyrell]], [[Randyll Tarly]], Mathis Rowan, and Arwyn Oakheart refused to give allegiance and fled to Bitterbridge. Late one night, [[Davos Seaworth]] rowed [[Melisandre]] past the castle walls, where she summoned a shadow that went forth to kill Cortnay. After his death, the castle submitted to Stannis.
*'''Battle of the Fords.''' Tywin Lannister, hearing of King Robb’s victories in the Westerlands, marched his armies from Harrenhal, intent on reclaiming his lands. Edmure Tully, not wanting Tywin to cross the Trident un-bloodied, placed an army of 13,000 men along key fords of the Red Fork. After sending many small forces trying to test the defenses, Tywin had his men attack in force at a dozen places. The most heated battle was at Stone Mill, where Edmure turned back Gregor Clegane’s men. Gregor was wounded from a dozen arrows and Leo Lefford drowned. The other Lannister forces were also defeated and Robert Brax was killed. [[Lyle Crakehall]], called the Strongboar, was captured.

*'''Sack of Harrenhal.''' Roose Bolton was ordered to take Harrenhal after Tywin, who went marching west, left [[Amory Lorch]] as castellan of 200 men. After joining with Halman Tallhart’s company from the Twins, Bolton's host marched down toward the castle. [[Vargo Hoat]], the commander of the [[Brave Companions]], reportedly gave battle to Roose’s vanguard at the Ruby Ford, capturing its commander Robett Glover, Aenys Frey and 100 lesser prisoners. However, the Northmen were quickly freed by [[Arya Stark]] with the help of [[Jaqen H'ghar]], [[Rorge]] and [[Biter]]. At the same time, the Brave Companions turned on the Lorch men and let Roose Bolton's men into the castle. Amory was captured and later killed for sport in a bear pit. Vargo was rewarded for joining the North with the Lordship of Harrenhal.
*'''At Bitterbridge.''' [[Garlan Tyrell]], commanding the remaining 60,000 men of Renly’s army, was joined by the returning bannermen from Storm’s End as well as [[Mace Tyrell]]’s host of 10,000 men from Highgarden. Stannis sent Parmen Crane and Erren Florent with the hope of winning the armies there. After the news went through the camps, several fights broke out between those that wanted to aid Stannis and those who remained loyal to Renly. Many returned to their homes, while some quickly traveled to join Stannis’ host as he marched toward King’s Landing. Parmen and Erren were taken prisoner by House Tyrell. Soon after, Petyr Baelish, representing the Iron Throne, won the allegiance of House Tyrell, and riders were sent north to warn Tywin Lannister of the danger to the capital. Tywin joined his near-20,000 men to Mace Tyrell's remaining 50,000 men to march against Stannis.

===Battles ending the war===
The War of Five Kings was near its end after two major battles were fought, effectively winning the war for King Joffrey.
*'''Battle of the Blackwater.''' [[Tyrion Lannister]], acting [[Hand of the King|Hand]], had won the loyalty of [[Dorne]] by the betrothal of [[Myrcella Baratheon]] to [[Trystane Martell]] and sent her south with much of the Royal Fleet. [[Cersei Lannister]] arranged for the creation of vast amounts of [[wildfire]], to be used in the defense of King's Landing, and Tyrion had a long metal chain prepared across the Blackwater. Imry Florent, commander of Stannis’s fleet, led nearly all of Stannis's ships into Blackwater Rush to engage the remainder of the Royal Fleet. However, Joffrey's ships were unmanned and filled with wildfire. The ships were set ablaze while the chain was raised to cut off any retreat. Trapped in a river of fire, some of Stannis' ships managed to transport the remainder of his 20,000 troops across the river, where they met the city's defenses of 5,000 [[Goldcloaks]]. Despite his many setbacks, Stannis took two of the city gates and was near victory when his rearguard was attacked by the combined Lannister-Tyrell host of 70,000 men. Tywin's vanguard was led by [[Garlan Tyrell]], wearing Renly Baratheon's armor, leading many to think Renly himself had risen from the dead. Stannis's men were quickly routed and many changed sides. Stannis and many of his most loyal men were able to retreat on the ships left out in Blackwater Bay.

*'''Sack of Winterfell.''' [[Rodrik Cassel]] returned to besiege Winterfell with Leobald Tallhart, Cley Cerwyn, and knights of White Harbour, totaling 2,000 men. By threatening Rodrik's daughter Beth, Theon delayed the northmen's attack until [[Ramsay Bolton]] returned with 400 men from the Dreadfort. Believing them to be allies, Rodrik's men were taken completely by surprise when they attacked. Rodrik, Leobald and Cley were killed and the leaderless northern host was routed by the Bolton men, who lost only 20 of their own. Theon allowed Ramsay's men into the castle, where he quickly turned on the ironmen as well, killing them all except Theon. The castle was put to the torch and many of the Stark household were killed, including Maester [[Luwin]]. Theon, Little Walder Frey, Big Walder Frey, Kyra, [[Old Nan]] and Beth Cassel were all taken back to the [[Dreadfort]] as captives.
*'''Sack of Torrhen’s Square.''' Dagmar Cleftjaw returned to the keep after Rodrik and Leobald departed for Winterfell. The sparsely defended keep was easily stormed by the ironmen. They killed the castellan and took Berena Tallhart, her children Brandon and Beren, and heiress Eddara Tallhart captive.
*'''Battle of the Crag.''' Robb’s army then fell on the Westerlings' keep, conquering it with ease. In the battle, Robb was wounded and needed some time to recover. When news reached him of Theon's murder of his brothers, he sought comfort in the arms of [[Jeyne Westerling]]. Shortly after, to avoid shaming her honor, they were wed despite his promise to marry a girl of [[House Frey]]. [[Lord Walder Frey]] withdrew his support of Robb in protest.
*'''Battle of Duskendale.''' Robett Glover was given command of 3,000 loyal northmen to take the town of Duskendale and its keep Dun Fort. This command was falsely given, however, as Roose Bolton had heard news of Tywin’s great victory at the Battle of the Blackwater and switched sides to join King Joffrey. Robett arrived at Duskendale to find Randyll Tarly’s larger force waiting, and was easily defeated. Robett led the survivors back towards Harrenhal and encountered another army led by Gregor Clegane. Robett and Harrion Karstark were captured, while Helman Tallhart was killed.
*'''Clegane retakes Harrenhal''' Roose Bolton decided to switch his allegiance to the Lannisters and left the castle to its new lord, [[Vargo Hoat]]. Under orders from Tywin, Gregor Clegane and his men retake Harrenhal. Most of the [[Brave Companions]] garrison fled before he arrived, allowing Gregor to retake the castle easily. Gregor then butchered [[Vargo Hoat]].
*'''Battle of the Ruby Ford.''' Roose Bolton marched his forces slowly from Harrenhal. This calculated move allowed Gregor Clegane time to attack his rearguard, 2,000 loyal northmen led by [[Wylis Manderly]]. Gregor won an easy victory, taking Wylis captive. To defend the ford, Roose left some 600 loyal northmen led by Kyle Condon and Ronnel Stout.

*'''Beheading of Rickard Karstark.''' Lord Rickard Karstark took out his revenge against the Lannisters by murdering the captives Willem Lannister and Tion Frey. Robb Stark held Rickard and a handful of his men responsible and had his men hanged. Robb beheaded Rickard himself for the crime of murdering prisoners. This act drives the [[House Karstark|Karstark]] force away from Robb's army, leading them to act against him in later incidents.

*'''The [[Red Wedding]].''' Robb Stark, hearing of [[Balon Greyjoy]]’s sudden death and how many ironmen had returned to their [[Iron Islands|isles]] to choose a new king, planned to quickly retake the North. However, [[Lothar Frey]] sent him word that Lord Walder Frey would reconcile with him if Robb would apologize in person and marry Edmure Tully to [[Roslin Frey]]. Robb marched his army to the [[Twins]] for the wedding feast, where he was soon joined by Roose Bolton and his remaining 3,500 men. After the bride and groom were brought to their bedchamber, the musicians in the castle started playing "[[The Rains of Castamere]]". At that sign, the Frey and Bolton men turned on the Stark soldiers. The specially-rigged feast tents were collapsed and set aflame during the slaughter. In the main hall, many of Robb's bannermen were killed by Freys, including his mother [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]]. Roose Bolton personally killed Robb. The Northern armies were, in one surprise attack, virtually annihilated. In addition, most of the Lords of the Trident yielded except [[House Tully|Tully]], [[House Mallister|Mallister]] and [[House Blackwood|Blackwood]]. This victory was regarded as the end of major conflicts in the War of Five Kings, with King Joffrey the victor.

===Ongoing conflicts===
Joffrey’s victory did not last long, as he was murdered at his own wedding to [[Margaery Tyrell]]. Shortly after, [[Tywin Lannister]] was murdered by his son [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]]. The young Prince [[Tommen Barathen|Tommen]] was crowned and married Margaery in his brother’s place. While most of the major players of the War of the Five Kings were dead, conflicts continued to occur as aftereffects of the war.
*'''Attacks of Lady Stoneheart '''. After the Red Wedding, [[Beric Dondarrion]] discovered [[Catelyn Stark]]'s corpse and sacrificed his life to ressurect her. The mutilated Catelyn took control of the Brotherhood as "Lady Stoneheart" and led them on an even more aggresive vendetta against the Freys and Lannisters. The band kidnapped and executed several Freys present at the Red Wedding.
*'''Siege of Seagard.''' [[Black Walder Frey]] led a host to besiege [[Jason Mallister]]'s forces. However at the threat of his son and heir Patrik’s hanging, he quickly conceded. The two became prisoners of their own keep.
*'''Battle of the Shields.''' The newly elected King [[Euron Greyjoy]] of the [[Iron Islands]] began a campaign to conquer all of the Seven Kingdoms and began by sailing 1,000 ships to attack the [[Shield Islands]], where a fleet guarded access to the mainland of the Reach. Sending two ships up the Mander River to draw away most of the fleet, the remaining ships found themselves vastly outnumbered as [[Victarion Greyjoy]] led an attack. Euron stormed Hewett Castle on Oakenshield. Ser [[Harris Harlaw]] was given Grimstone after defeating seven knights of house Grim in single combat on the Isle of Greyshield. The other Islands of Greenshield and Southshield were also taken. Ser Talbert Serry was killed by Victarion and Lord Moribald Chester was also killed. Garlan Tyrell broke off his plans to take Brightwater Keep and marched to Highgarden to defend the Reach should the ironmen sail upriver.
*'''[[Battle at the Wall]].''' The conflict between the Night's Watch and the [[wildling]] host led by Mance Rayder gained became a factor in the War of the Five Kings when Stannis marched his armies to the Wall in hopes of gaining support for his rule in the North. Stannis arrived just in time to surprise attack the [[wildling]]s on the brink of victory and rout it. Stannis took up temporary residence at Castle Black and offered [[Jon Snow]] lordship over Winterfell in return for Jon's support, but Jon refused and remained in the Night's Watch.
*'''Siege of Dragonstone.''' [[Loras Tyrell]] pledged to take command of the siege after hearing of the Battle of the Shields. In return, Cersei Lannister allowed the Redwynes' fleet to sail west and defend the Reach. Upon arrival at [[Dragonstone]], Loras launched an immediate attack. After suffering many losses, the Tyrell army forced the defenders to retreat to the inner keep. Loras again led a fierce attack and successfully captured the keep, but at a high cost. Loras himself was reportedly burned with boiling oil and severely wounded during the battle.
*'''Siege of Riverrun.''' Brynden Tully held the castle of Riverrun in defiance of a large host of Frey and Lannister men camped outside. Edmure Tully was displayed on a gibbet, but Bryden did not surrender and exposed the display as an empty threat. The lords outside bickered and could make no progress. [[Jaime Lannister]] was sent to the castle to expidite the fall of Riverrun. Jaime released [[Edmure Tully]] and threatened that if he, as heir to Riverrun, did not yield the castle, then Jaime would sack it and kill Edmure's unborn child. Edmure surrendered the castle but not until after he aided his uncle in escaping capture. The castle was left in the care of its new lord, Emmon Frey, with 300 guards.
*'''Siege of Storm’s End.''' [[Mace Tyrell]] was commanded to take the castle. After a lengthy siege, he heard of [[Magaery Tyrell|Magaery]]'s imprisonment at the [[Great Sept of Baelor]]. He broke off the siege to march on King's Landing after ordering [[Randyll Tarly]] to march south and join him there.
*'''Siege of Raventree.''' Lord Jonos Bracken was commanded to besiege the castle of his nemesis, [[House Blackwood]]. Jonos had only sided with the Lannisters in the first place because the Blackwoods had stayed loyal to King Robb. Fighting is fierce at the castle and neither side has triumphed.

The death of [[Jon Arryn]], Robert's first [[Hand of the King]], is arguably the first significant development. Arryn took sick unexpectedly and died within a few days. Stannis Baratheon fled [[King’s Landing]] fearing for his family’s safety and believing Jon was murdered for knowing the truth: that the royal children were, in fact, bastard children of an incestuous union between [[Cersei Lannister|Queen Cersei]] and her brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]]. Robert traveled north to [[Winterfell]] to ask his friend [[Eddard Stark]] to become his new Hand. [[Lysa Arryn]] sent a coded letter to her sister [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]], Eddard's wife, claiming that the Lannisters had her husband murdered. Catelyn convinced her husband to go south and investigate as Hand. During the King's trip to Winterfell, [[Bran Stark]], Eddard and Catelyn's son, had seen the queen and her brother having sex while climbing the walls of the castle. Jaime Lannister threw the child from the tower to ensure that the secret died with him, but the boy survived, lingering in a coma. Some days after the King and Hand had left, a hired assassin came to kill the still-comatose lad, but was prevented from doing so by the boy's pet [[direwolf]]. Lady Catelyn elected to go south to inform her husband of the attack.

When she arrived in King's Landing, she was met by her old friend, [[Petyr Baelish]], who told her that the hired assassin's dagger had belonged to [[Tyrion Lannister]], another brother of the queen. This was a lie, but neither Catelyn nor Eddard suspected it. Eddard told his wife to return home. While on the return journey, she encountered Tyrion at a roadside inn, and had him arrested for the attack on Bran. She took him to her sister in the [[Vale]], where Tyrion faced trial by combat for his alleged crimes. He won his freedom, but the mere fact of his arrest had inflamed tensions with house Lannister. Eddard also investigated Jon Arryn's death and found out the truth about Cersei's children. Eddard revealed his knowledge to the queen, ordering her to go into exile with her children. Instead, Cersei had Robert given unusually potent wine, while he was on a hunt. While in this inebriated state, he was mauled by a boar. The dying king ordered that Eddard serve as his regent until Joffrey came of age, but Eddard sent a letter offering Stannis the throne, as Stannis was the rightful heir. The queen learned of Eddard's plot and had him arrested and imprisoned. Sensing a power struggle, Renly Baratheon and [[Loras Tyrell]] fled King’s Landing. Learning of Eddard's arrest, his son and heir [[Robb Stark]] called his father's armies together and marched south. Although there was only one king in the realm, the newly-crowned King Joffrey, the War of the Five Kings had begun.

===Battles of Lannister, Tully and Stark===
* '''Battle of Golden Tooth.''' Jaime Lannister led some 15,000 men against the defensive encampment of 4,000 men east of Golden Tooth, under the command of Lord Vance and Lord Clement Piper. Jaime’s host won an easy victory. Lord Vance and Lord Darry were killed while Lord Piper led the survivors back to [[Riverrun]]. The new Lord Karyl Vance also led some survivors away to attack the Lannister supply lines.
* '''Battle of Riverrun.''' [[Edmure Tully]] was training an army of some 16,000 levies near [[Riverrun]], when Jaime Lannister’s host attacked. Jaime won another easy victory. Edmure was captured along with many of his bannermen and Lord Tytos Blackwood led the survivors into Riverrun as Jaime’s host besieged the castle.
*'''Battle of Mummer's Ford and the Brotherhood without Banners.*''' Tywin Lannister had Gregor Clegane ravage some of the countryside in the Riverlands. At the request of Ser Marq Piper and Ser Karyl Vance, Eddard agreed to send a force to deal with Clegane and bring him to justice. However, Ned's leg was broken by an altercation with Jaime Lannister and he could not lead himself. Tywin was hoping for an ambush that would give him Ned so he could trade him for Tyrion. Ned named[[Beric Dondarrion]] to lead the force and sent [[Thoros of Myr]], Lord Raymun Darry, Ser Gladden Wylde and Lord Lothar Mallory along with Alyn of Winterfell from his own guard to fight alongside him. The force numbered 120 not including Piper and Vance's men. Once word reached them of the Battle of Golden Tooth, Piper and Vance left on their own to attack the Lannister supply lines and help break the siege of Riverrun. Sometime after the beginning of the siege, Tywin brought his forces numbering 20,000 into the Riverlands. As Beric crossed the Mummer's Ford, Tywin and Gregor attacked from all sides, killing Gladden Wylde and Lothar Mallory. Gregor himself killed Raymun and mortally wounded Beric. Thoros and Alyn rallied the survivors and escaped. Thoros inadvertinty ressurected Beric while performing burial services for him. Beric and Thoros continued to lead the remaining men against Gregor and the Lannisters. After the death of Eddard, the group became an outlaw organization called the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]].
*'''Conquering the Riverlands.''' Tywin Lannister led an army of 20,000 men north from the Golden Road to travel across the Trident conquering the Riverlord’s holdfasts of all but the Twins, Riverrun and Seaguard. Tywin took Ravenhall, as Lord Tytos Blackwood was trapped in Riverrun. Lady Shella Whent yields [[Harrenhal]] as she had no soldiers to defend it. Gregor Clegane led attacks that burnt out the Pipers and Brackens. In this campaign Ser Cedric Payne was killed, therefore leaving Podrick Payne, his squire with Ser Lorimer the Belly. [[Kevan Lannister]] had Lorimer hanged for stealing from the camp supplies and had Podrick transferred over to be Tyrion's squire.
*'''Battle of the Green Fork.''' Lord Tywin’s army met its first real opposition as [[House Stark]] entered the war on behalf of [[House Tully]]. [[Roose Bolton]] planned a night attack, leading roughly 16,000 men, however Addam Marbrand’s outriders saw them coming and roused Tywin’s army in time to prepare for battle. Tywin’s host won a bloody victory but realized the battle was only a diversion, as Robb Stark, having won House Frey to his cause, split his forces, crossing the river with his cavalry. Lord Halys Hornwood and Ser Pate of the Blue Fork were killed, Lord Medgar Cerwyn was captured but died later from a wound taken, other captives taken were Harrion Karstark, Ser Wylis Manderly, Ser Donnel Locke, Ser Jared Frey, Ser Hosteen Frey, Ser Danwell Frey and Ronel Rivers.

*'''Battle of the Whispering Wood.''' Having split his cavalry from his main force prior to the Battle of the Green Fork, Robb Stark forged an alliance with House Frey in order to cross the river and gain fresh troops. Resupplied, he brought these forces to bear against those besieging Riverrun, first attacking the northernmost camp led by Jaime Lannister in a surprise night raid. As Jaime and his forces were caught asleep and completely off guard, the battle quickly became a slaughter. Seeing the battle was lost, Jaime attempted to cut his way to Robb Stark, hoping that the death of the northern leader would create chaos and confusion in the northmen. He slew many in the attempt, including several members of Robb's personal bodyguard, but was captured before he could succeed.

*'''Battle of the Camps.''' The night after the Whispering Wood, [[Brynden Tully]] led a force against the sleeping, leaderless north camp at Riverrun and quickly defeated them. Lord Andros Brax led his men in the west camp to cross the river, however most of their rafts were destroy by the defenders of Riverrun. Those that reached the northern side were easily defeated by Ser Bryden. Robb then attacked the west camp with the remainder of his men. Seeing Robb’s attack, Lord Tytos Blackwood also attacked the west camp. Ser Forley Prester led the remaining south camp back to Golden Tooth.

===The crowning of kings===
During this time in the war, various men began crowning themselves kings. First was [[Renly Baratheon]], who was declared King of the Seven Kingdoms the by his bannermen of the Stormlands and [[House Tyrell]] after his wedding to [[Margaery Tyrell]], believing he was better suited to the [[Iron Throne]] than either his nephew Joffrey or elder brother Stannis. Next was Robb Stark, who was declared King of the North and the Riverlands by his bannermen and House Tully, who did not want to submit to a Lannister-backed reign. The third king was [[Stannis Baratheon]], who was declared king by his few bannermen, feeling it was his duty to take the Iron Throne as King Robert’s closest relative, given the illegitimacy of Robert's children. Last was [[Balon Greyjoy]], who declared himself King of the Isles by his bannermen in an attempt to secede from the Seven Kingdoms and ravage the mainland.

*'''Reclaiming the Trident.''' King Robb gave his Riverlords leave to reclaim their lands. Tytos Blackwood reclaimed Raventree as the Lannister men fled and scorched the land. Jonos Bracken reclaimed Stone Hedge after a fierce battle costing the life of his nephew and heir Hendry. Darry bannermen also reclaimed Darry for their young Lord Lyman Darry. Karyl Vance and Marq Piper took riding parties to attack Lannister foragers. Much later, the other bannermen were also able to reclaim their holdfasts as the Lannisters retreated.
*'''Sack of Darry''' Gregor Clegane attacked the castle with his fierce company. After his victory over the garrison, he had the entire household put to the sword, including the young Lord Lyman.

*'''Battle of Moat Cailin.''' [[Victarion Greyjoy]] led the entire Iron Fleet of a hundred ships up the Saltspear Bay to descend upon the 400 men left to defend the North in the [[Neck]]. Attacking from the north, the natural defenses of the keep were useless and the Northmen were easily defeated by the ironmen.
*'''Battle of Deepwood Motte.''' [[Asha Greyjoy]] led a dozen ships around Sea Dragon’s Point in the far north to attack the small wooden keep of House Glover located just off the coast. The keep was easily overrun by the ironmen, making captives of Sybell Glover, her young children Gawen and Erena, and Larence Snow, the ward of Galbert Glover.
*'''Battle of Stony Shore.''' [[Theon Greyjoy]] led eight ships in raiding along the Stony Shore. Benfred Tallhart led an undisciplined company he had dubbed the Young Hares to deal with the raiders. Theon ambushed this company, killing them all, while the only ironmen casualty was Todric, killed by Theon after the battle.
*'''Battle of Torrhen’s Square.''' [[Dagmar Cleftjaw]] was commanded to besiege the small keep by Theon in a ruse to draw out [[Rodrik Cassel]] and the guards of Winterfell. Rodrik arrived as planned to lift the siege, easily defeating the ironmen, only to hear that Winterfell had fallen in his absence.

*'''Battle of Winterfell.''' Theon Greyjoy descended on the few remaining guards with only twenty men, storming the castle at night and conquering the mighty castle with ease. Theon declared himself the Prince of Winterfell and took [[Ramsay Bolton]], in the disguise of "Reek", as a retainer. [[Bran Stark]], [[Rickon Stark]], [[Little Walder Frey]], [[Big Walder Frey]], [[Meera Reed]], [[Jojen Reed]] and Beth Cassel were all kept as hostages. However, Brandon, Rickon, Jojen and Meera escaped. To avoid embarrassment, Theon had Ramsay kill two boys in place of the Starks and announced to the world that they were dead.

*'''Battle of Oxcross.''' [[Stafford Lannister]] was charged to raise a new Lannister army after the defeat at Riverrun. Having no fear of being attacked in the Westlands, he posted few sentries. One night during their training, Brynden Tully quietly killed the sentries, and Robb’s army took the host by surprise, winning Robb an easy victory and badly bleeding the Lannister host. Stafford was killed by [[Rickard Karstark]] and Rupert Brax was also killed. Lymond Vikary and Antario Jast as well as Martyn Lannister were captured. There was a report that Lord Crakehall was killed but this seems inaccurate as Lord Roland Crakehall appears alive after the Battle of the Blackwater. On the North’s side, [[Stevron Frey]] was wounded and died three days later.
*'''Battle of Ashmark.''' After Oxcross, King Robb’s army fell on the nearby keep of [[House Marbrand]]. The keep was easily sacked and the castellan was killed.

*'''Siege of Storm’s End.''' Stannis Baratheon, realizing he did not have the strength to sack King’s Landing, besieged his brother’s castle with his 5,000 men. Hearing of this, Renly marched his mounted forces of 20,000 from Bitterbridge to deal with his brother. After a failed parlay where neither would yield, Stannis offered his younger brother the night to reconsider before fighting the battle at dawn. While preparing for battle, Renly was killed by a shadow, ending the battle before it began. Many of Renly’s bannermen now swore allegiance to Stannis; however, [[Cortnay Penrose]] refused to yield the Storm's End, partially because the safety of his ward, [[Edric Storm]], a bastard son of [[Robert Baratheon]], could not be guaranteed. [[Loras Tyrell]], [[Randyll Tarly]], Mathis Rowan, and Arwyn Oakheart refused to give allegiance and fled to Bitterbridge. Late one night, [[Davos Seaworth]] rowed [[Melisandre]] past the castle walls, where she summoned a shadow that went forth to kill Cortnay. After his death, the castle submitted to Stannis.
*'''Battle of the Fords.''' Tywin Lannister, hearing of King Robb’s victories in the Westerlands, marched his armies from Harrenhal, intent on reclaiming his lands. Edmure Tully, not wanting Tywin to cross the Trident un-bloodied, placed an army of 13,000 men along key fords of the Red Fork. After sending many small forces trying to test the defenses, Tywin had his men attack in force at a dozen places. The most heated battle was at Stone Mill, where Edmure turned back Gregor Clegane’s men. Gregor was wounded from a dozen arrows and Leo Lefford drowned. The other Lannister forces were also defeated and Robert Brax was killed. [[Lyle Crakehall]], called the Strongboar, was captured.

*'''Sack of Harrenhal.''' Roose Bolton was ordered to take Harrenhal after Tywin, who went marching west, left [[Amory Lorch]] as castellan of 200 men. After joining with Halman Tallhart’s company from the Twins, Bolton's host marched down toward the castle. [[Vargo Hoat]], the commander of the [[Brave Companions]], reportedly gave battle to Roose’s vanguard at the Ruby Ford, capturing its commander Robett Glover, Aenys Frey and 100 lesser prisoners. However, the Northmen were quickly freed by [[Arya Stark]] with the help of [[Jaqen H'ghar]], [[Rorge]] and [[Biter]]. At the same time, the Brave Companions turned on the Lorch men and let Roose Bolton's men into the castle. Amory was captured and later killed for sport in a bear pit. Vargo was rewarded for joining the North with the Lordship of Harrenhal.
*'''At Bitterbridge.''' [[Garlan Tyrell]], commanding the remaining 60,000 men of Renly’s army, was joined by the returning bannermen from Storm’s End as well as [[Mace Tyrell]]’s host of 10,000 men from Highgarden. Stannis sent Parmen Crane and Erren Florent with the hope of winning the armies there. After the news went through the camps, several fights broke out between those that wanted to aid Stannis and those who remained loyal to Renly. Many returned to their homes, while some quickly traveled to join Stannis’ host as he marched toward King’s Landing. Parmen and Erren were taken prisoner by House Tyrell. Soon after, Petyr Baelish, representing the Iron Throne, won the allegiance of House Tyrell, and riders were sent north to warn Tywin Lannister of the danger to the capital. Tywin joined his near-20,000 men to Mace Tyrell's remaining 50,000 men to march against Stannis.

===Battles ending the war===
The War of Five Kings was near its end after two major battles were fought, effectively winning the war for King Joffrey.
*'''Battle of the Blackwater.''' [[Tyrion Lannister]], acting [[Hand of the King|Hand]], had won the loyalty of [[Dorne]] by the betrothal of [[Myrcella Baratheon]] to [[Trystane Martell]] and sent her south with much of the Royal Fleet. [[Cersei Lannister]] arranged for the creation of vast amounts of [[wildfire]], to be used in the defense of King's Landing, and Tyrion had a long metal chain prepared across the Blackwater. Imry Florent, commander of Stannis’s fleet, led nearly all of Stannis's ships into Blackwater Rush to engage the remainder of the Royal Fleet. However, Joffrey's ships were unmanned and filled with wildfire. The ships were set ablaze while the chain was raised to cut off any retreat. Trapped in a river of fire, some of Stannis' ships managed to transport the remainder of his 20,000 troops across the river, where they met the city's defenses of 5,000 [[Goldcloaks]]. Despite his many setbacks, Stannis took two of the city gates and was near victory when his rearguard was attacked by the combined Lannister-Tyrell host of 70,000 men. Tywin's vanguard was led by [[Garlan Tyrell]], wearing Renly Baratheon's armor, leading many to think Renly himself had risen from the dead. Stannis's men were quickly routed and many changed sides. Stannis and many of his most loyal men were able to retreat on the ships left out in Blackwater Bay.

*'''Sack of Winterfell.''' [[Rodrik Cassel]] returned to besiege Winterfell with Leobald Tallhart, Cley Cerwyn, and knights of White Harbour, totaling 2,000 men. By threatening Rodrik's daughter Beth, Theon delayed the northmen's attack until [[Ramsay Bolton]] returned with 400 men from the Dreadfort. Believing them to be allies, Rodrik's men were taken completely by surprise when they attacked. Rodrik, Leobald and Cley were killed and the leaderless northern host was routed by the Bolton men, who lost only 20 of their own. Theon allowed Ramsay's men into the castle, where he quickly turned on the ironmen as well, killing them all except Theon. The castle was put to the torch and many of the Stark household were killed, including Maester [[Luwin]]. Theon, Little Walder Frey, Big Walder Frey, Kyra, [[Old Nan]] and Beth Cassel were all taken back to the [[Dreadfort]] as captives.
*'''Sack of Torrhen’s Square.''' Dagmar Cleftjaw returned to the keep after Rodrik and Leobald departed for Winterfell. The sparsely defended keep was easily stormed by the ironmen. They killed the castellan and took Berena Tallhart, her children Brandon and Beren, and heiress Eddara Tallhart captive.
*'''Battle of the Crag.''' Robb’s army then fell on the Westerlings' keep, conquering it with ease. In the battle, Robb was wounded and needed some time to recover. When news reached him of Theon's murder of his brothers, he sought comfort in the arms of [[Jeyne Westerling]]. Shortly after, to avoid shaming her honor, they were wed despite his promise to marry a girl of [[House Frey]]. [[Lord Walder Frey]] withdrew his support of Robb in protest.
*'''Battle of Duskendale.''' Robett Glover was given command of 3,000 loyal northmen to take the town of Duskendale and its keep Dun Fort. This command was falsely given, however, as Roose Bolton had heard news of Tywin’s great victory at the Battle of the Blackwater and switched sides to join King Joffrey. Robett arrived at Duskendale to find Randyll Tarly’s larger force waiting, and was easily defeated. Robett led the survivors back towards Harrenhal and encountered another army led by Gregor Clegane. Robett and Harrion Karstark were captured, while Helman Tallhart was killed.
*'''Clegane retakes Harrenhal''' Roose Bolton decided to switch his allegiance to the Lannisters and left the castle to its new lord, [[Vargo Hoat]]. Under orders from Tywin, Gregor Clegane and his men retake Harrenhal. Most of the [[Brave Companions]] garrison fled before he arrived, allowing Gregor to retake the castle easily. Gregor then butchered [[Vargo Hoat]].
*'''Battle of the Ruby Ford.''' Roose Bolton marched his forces slowly from Harrenhal. This calculated move allowed Gregor Clegane time to attack his rearguard, 2,000 loyal northmen led by [[Wylis Manderly]]. Gregor won an easy victory, taking Wylis captive. To defend the ford, Roose left some 600 loyal northmen led by Kyle Condon and Ronnel Stout.

*'''Beheading of Rickard Karstark.''' Lord Rickard Karstark took out his revenge against the Lannisters by murdering the captives Willem Lannister and Tion Frey. Robb Stark held Rickard and a handful of his men responsible and had his men hanged. Robb beheaded Rickard himself for the crime of murdering prisoners. This act drives the [[House Karstark|Karstark]] force away from Robb's army, leading them to act against him in later incidents.

*'''The [[Red Wedding]].''' Robb Stark, hearing of [[Balon Greyjoy]]’s sudden death and how many ironmen had returned to their [[Iron Islands|isles]] to choose a new king, planned to quickly retake the North. However, [[Lothar Frey]] sent him word that Lord Walder Frey would reconcile with him if Robb would apologize in person and marry Edmure Tully to [[Roslin Frey]]. Robb marched his army to the [[Twins]] for the wedding feast, where he was soon joined by Roose Bolton and his remaining 3,500 men. After the bride and groom were brought to their bedchamber, the musicians in the castle started playing "[[The Rains of Castamere]]". At that sign, the Frey and Bolton men turned on the Stark soldiers. The specially-rigged feast tents were collapsed and set aflame during the slaughter. In the main hall, many of Robb's bannermen were killed by Freys, including his mother [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]]. Roose Bolton personally killed Robb. The Northern armies were, in one surprise attack, virtually annihilated. In addition, most of the Lords of the Trident yielded except [[House Tully|Tully]], [[House Mallister|Mallister]] and [[House Blackwood|Blackwood]]. This victory was regarded as the end of major conflicts in the War of Five Kings, with King Joffrey the victor.

===Ongoing conflicts===
Joffrey’s victory did not last long, as he was murdered at his own wedding to [[Margaery Tyrell]]. Shortly after, [[Tywin Lannister]] was murdered by his son [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]]. The young Prince [[Tommen Barathen|Tommen]] was crowned and married Margaery in his brother’s place. While most of the major players of the War of the Five Kings were dead, conflicts continued to occur as aftereffects of the war.
*'''Siege of Seagard.''' [[Black Walder Frey]] led a host to besiege [[Jason Mallister]]'s forces. However at the threat of his son and heir Patrik’s hanging, he quickly conceded. The two became prisoners of their own keep.
*'''Battle of the Shields.''' The newly elected King [[Euron Greyjoy]] of the [[Iron Islands]] began a campaign to conquer all of the Seven Kingdoms and began by sailing 1,000 ships to attack the [[Shield Islands]], where a fleet guarded access to the mainland of the Reach. Sending two ships up the Mander River to draw away most of the fleet, the remaining ships found themselves vastly outnumbered as [[Victarion Greyjoy]] led an attack. Euron stormed Hewett Castle on Oakenshield. Ser [[Harris Harlaw]] was given Grimstone after defeating seven knights of house Grim in single combat on the Isle of Greyshield. The other Islands of Greenshield and Southshield were also taken. Ser Talbert Serry was killed by Victarion and Lord Moribald Chester was also killed. Garlan Tyrell broke off his plans to take Brightwater Keep and marched to Highgarden to defend the Reach should the ironmen sail upriver.
*'''[[Battle at the Wall]].''' The conflict between the Night's Watch and the [[wildling]] host led by Mance Rayder gained became a factor in the War of the Five Kings when Stannis marched his armies to the Wall in hopes of gaining support for his rule in the North. Stannis arrived just in time to surprise attack the [[wildling]]s on the brink of victory and rout it. Stannis took up temporary residence at Castle Black and offered [[Jon Snow]] lordship over Winterfell in return for Jon's support, but Jon refused and remained in the Night's Watch.
*'''Siege of Dragonstone.''' [[Loras Tyrell]] pledged to take command of the siege after hearing of the Battle of the Shields. In return, Cersei Lannister allowed the Redwynes' fleet to sail west and defend the Reach. Upon arrival at [[Dragonstone]], Loras launched an immediate attack. After suffering many losses, the Tyrell army forced the defenders to retreat to the inner keep. Loras again led a fierce attack and successfully captured the keep, but at a high cost. Loras himself was reportedly burned with boiling oil and severely wounded during the battle.
*'''Siege of Riverrun.''' Brynden Tully held the castle of Riverrun in defiance of a large host of Frey and Lannister men camped outside. Edmure Tully was displayed on a gibbet, but Bryden did not surrender and exposed the display as an empty threat. The lords outside bickered and could make no progress. [[Jaime Lannister]] was sent to the castle to expidite the fall of Riverrun. Jaime released [[Edmure Tully]] and threatened that if he, as heir to Riverrun, did not yield the castle, then Jaime would sack it and kill Edmure's unborn child. Edmure surrendered the castle but not until after he aided his uncle in escaping capture. The castle was left in the care of its new lord, Emmon Frey, with 300 guards.
*'''Siege of Storm’s End.''' [[Mace Tyrell]] was commanded to take the castle. After a lengthy siege, he heard of [[Magaery Tyrell|Magaery]]'s imprisonment at the [[Great Sept of Baelor]]. He broke off the siege to march on King's Landing after ordering [[Randyll Tarly]] to march south and join him there.
*'''Siege of Raventree.''' Lord Jonos Bracken was commanded to besiege the castle of his nemesis, [[House Blackwood]]. Jonos had only sided with the Lannisters in the first place because the Blackwoods had stayed loyal to King Robb. Fighting is fierce at the castle and neither side has triumphed.

===Hoster===
Lord of Riverrun and Lord paramount of the Trident, Hoster Tully is an old, sick man, torn by decade-old regrets. He was deeply saddened by his wife's death and never fully recovered from her death. As a younger man he was tall and broad, and grew portly in age, but is rendered shrunken by his illness. He traveled the Riverlands extensively and was fond of gazing at his rivers.

{{spoiler}}

Years ago, Hoster forced his daughter Lysa to drink tansy tea in order to terminate her illegitimate pregnancy. He used her pregnancy as proof that she was fertile when arranging her marriage to the widower [[Jon Arryn]], in exchange for House Tully's support in the [[Robert's Rebellion|rebellion]] of Arryn's ward [[Robert Baratheon]]. On his deathbed, Hoster made delirious references to "tansy" and expressed regret, though Catelyn assumed that he was referring to an unknown girl. He died of his illness before regaining lucidity.

===Minisa Whent===
Minisa Whent Tully was the wife of Lord Hoster. At that time House Whent was the strongest bannermen to house Tully. She bore him three surviving children: two daughters and a son. Two other sons died in infancy. She died in childbirth trying to bear him another son while her other children were still young.

===Catelyn===
:{{main|Catelyn Stark}}
Catelyn Tully Stark is Hoster's eldest child. She is the wife of [[Eddard Stark]] of [[Winterfell]] and mother of their five children, [[Robb Stark|Robb]], [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], [[Arya Stark|Arya]], [[Bran Stark|Bran]], and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]. Catelyn is seen as honorable and upright by acquaintances, holding duty over desire as a governing principle of behavior. She has a deep love for family and a strong faith in the [[Faith of the Seven|Seven]]. However, she regards the bastard [[Jon Snow]] as an outsider to her family, and has never forgiven Eddard for bringing him into her household. She is described as beautiful, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and long fingers.

===Lysa===
Hoster's second child, Lysa Tully Arryn is the widow of the recently deceased [[Jon Arryn]] and mother of their one son, [[Robert Arryn|Robert]]. A flighty, unstable, sad woman, Lysa was unhappy in her marriage, arranged as part of a military alliance. Once slender and shyly sweet, she is now thick-bodied, pale and puffy of face, with restless watery blue eyes and a small petulant mouth. Upon the death of Lord John Arryn, she ruled in regency over the Vale for her son, and refused all her suitors, who were politically suitable Vale lords.

{{spoiler}}

Lysa was secretly in love with her father's ward [[Petyr Baelish]], who had deflowered and impregnated her when they were young. Hoster Tully refused to allow them to marry and had the child aborted, though he later used its existence as proof of Lysa's fertility when wedding her to Jon Arryn, a man older than Hoster himself. Many years later, Baelish manipulated her into poisoning Jon Arryn and telling her sister Catelyn that the Lannisters were responsible. As the Lady Regent of the Vale, Lysa maintained a strict neutrality in the [[War of the Five Kings]], failing to call her banners and send aid to her sister's son, Robb Stark, and her father, Hoster Tully, though her posture rankled many of her vassals; she also was unresponsive to the threat posed by the increasingly active and hostile tribes of mountain men. It was her decision to try [[Tyrion Lannister]], and allow him a trial by combat via a chosen champion that allowed Tyrion to escape Catelyn Stark's custody. Near the conclusion of the War of the Five Kings, Petyr Baelish was dispatched to woo and wed Lady Lysa as a means to assuring the compliance of the Vale with the regime of King Joffrey, and return it to the King's Peace. Lysa ecstatically accepted his courtship and married him, but he murdered her shortly thereafter by defenestration, and used the minstrel Marillion as a scapegoat.

===Edmure===
Hoster's third child, only son, and heir, Edmure is a dutiful but rash young man, known more for his large heart than his sound head. He wishes to earn the respect of his father and protect his smallfolk. He is stocky, with shaggy auburn hair and a fiery beard.

{{spoiler}}

Rescued by Stark forces following the battle of the Whispering Wood, Edmure swore fealty to his nephew Robb upon Robb's coronation and took part in his battle plans. He defended the Red Fork of the Trident against Tywin Lannister's forces, winning a battle at the Stone Mill, but in so doing he unwittingly ruined Robb's plan to draw Tywin out into a battle of Robb's own choosing. As amends Edmure agreed to marry Roslin Frey, a match needed to repair a shaky alliance with the tactically critical [[House Frey]]. His father's death shortly thereafter made him the Lord of Riverrun. His wedding became the site of a slaughter perpetrated by [[House Bolton|Bolton]] and [[House Frey|Frey]] men in league with the Lannisters. This betrayal became known as the Red Wedding. Edmure was captured and imprisoned by the Freys, while many other guests were killed, and the crown took Riverrun away from the Tullys. [[Jaime Lannister]] spared him from execution and forced him to make his uncle surrender Riverrun to the crown. Concerned for the fate of his unborn child, Edmure is presently a prisoner en route to the Lannister stronghold at Casterly Rock, where his family is to undergo a life of service to House Lannister.

===Brynden===
Hoster's younger brother, Brynden is a great knight who earned renown during the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]]. His refusal to obey Hoster's order to marry caused a rift in the brothers' relationship for decades. A gruff but warm man, Brynden gained the nickname "Blackfish" when Hoster accused him of being the family's black sheep, which Brynden jokingly amended to reflect the Tullys's leaping-trout banner. His auburn hair has greyed with age, but he is still strong and fit, with a craggy face and deep blue eyes.

{{spoiler}}

Brynden left the service of his niece Lysa Arryn once Tywin Lannister made signs of attacking the Riverlands, and upon Robb Stark's coronation allied himself with his cause, becoming ostensibly indispensable to his great-nephew as a tactician and warrior. He was named Warden of the Southern Marches and ordered to hold Riverrun while Robb took his forces north. He refused to surrender Riverrun even after King Robb's death. Eventually his nephew Edmure forced him to give up Riverrun to its new lords. Brynden escaped during the surrender. His present whereabouts are unknown.

Walder Rivers

Oorag:

'''Walder Rivers''' is a natural son of [[Lord Walder]], and is often called "Bastard Walder". He is a gruff and dour man. Though not an official Frey, he is often put in positions of responsibility for the house due to his strong reputation as a warrior.

Walder accompanied [[Lothar Frey]] on his meeting with Robb outside the gates of the Twins, but was much less friendly than his half-brother. During the [[Red Wedding]], he commanded the attack on the soldiers' camp. He was also present at the siege of [[Riverrun]], where he participated in the heated stalemate that plagued the besieging army's command.

'''Aegon Frey''', called '''Jinglebell''', is the half-wit son of [[Stevros Frey]] and the fool of the [[Twins]]. He earned his nickname by wearing a fool's crown of antlers with bells attached.

When [[Robb Stark]] came to the Twins to apologize for breaking his marriage vows, [[Lord Walder Frey]] had Jinglebell present when he received Robb. Catelyn took interpreted this as an intentionally insulting breach of courtesy. At the [[Red Wedding]], Jinglebell pranced about to the loud music. As the killing began, Catelyn Stark seized him and threatened to kill him if Walder did not release Robb. Walder replied that he would readily trade a half-wit grandson for a son. As Robb was killed, Catelyn cut Jinglebell's throat, killing him.

Ser '''Stevron Frey''' is [[Lord Walder Frey]]'s firstborn, and heir apparent to the [[Twins]]. A man in his sixties, Stevron's appearance shows his age. Walder has groomed him for lordship of the house, though Walder often jokes that Stevron has been waiting for him to die for forty years. Through his father, Stevron has learned to place great importance on the family.

When House Frey allied with [[Robb Stark]], Stevron accompanied its forces and personally led the Frey soldiers into battle. He was killed at the [[Battle of Oxcross]]. King Robb often recalled how he died bravely serving him.

Daenerys Targaryen

2007-05-19T22:04:54Z

Oorag: /* ''Khaleesi'' */

'''Daenerys Targaryen''', also known as '''Daenerys Stormborn''', and called '''Dany''', is the the daughter of [[King Aerys II]] and his wife [[Rhaella Tararyen|Rhaella]]. When she was born her father had already been killed and her mother had had to flee to Dragonstone. When Rhaella died giving birth to her, the exiled Targaryen family consisted only of his older brother [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] and herself.

==Biography==

===Birth and early life===
Daenerys was conceived during [[Robert Baratheon]]'s rebellion known as [[the War of the Usurper]] that would ultimately end her family's reign. Before she was born, her pregnant mother and her brother Viserys fled the royal seat at [[King's Landing]] for the safety of [[Dragonstone]], the family's ancient home. Not much later, her brother [[Rhaegar]] would die on the [[Battle of the Trident]], and his father would be slain at the [[Sack of King's Landing]].

Daenerys was born as a fierce storm struck Dragonstone, and so was called "Stormborn." Her mother died as a result of the labor. Shortly thereafter, Dragonstone fell to the rebel forces, and Daenerys and Viserys were smuggled away to the Free City of Braavos by a loyalist knight, Willem Darry. In Braavos, they lived in a house with a red door. Ser Willem was old and sickly, but he treated Daenerys kindly. After his death, his servants drove Daenerys and Viserys from the house. Daenerys wept as they were forced out, and the house with the red door became her symbol for the childhood she had never known.

Viserys and Daenerys considered themselves the rightful rulers of Westeros: Viserys III, King of the Seven Kingdoms, and his heiress-presumptive Daenerys, the Princess of Dragonstone. In the years that followed, she and Viserys wandered among the nine [[Free Cities]] looking for aid, which earned Viserys the mocking title of "the Beggar King". He was often a cruel, abusive companion, prone to mood swings and fits of violence. His abiding obsession with regaining the crown that he felt was his by bloodright instilled in Daenerys a similar belief that reclaiming Westeros was the paramount goal of her life.

===''Khaleesi''===

In the Free City of [[Pentos]], the Targaryens were the guests of [[Illyrio Mopatis]], a rich and powerful magister. Illyrio and Viserys arranged to marry the thirteen-year-old Daenerys to [[Khal Drogo]], a great leader among the [[Dothraki]] people, who are nomadic horse lords. Viserys hoped to use the thousands of men in Drogo's ''khalasar'' to conquer Westeros. Despite Daenerys' fear and apprehension, she had no choice but to accept her brother's will and wed Drogo. At her wedding, the exiled knight [[Jorah Mormont]] pledged his service to Daenerys. He would become her closest companion. Two of Daenerys's wedding gifts were a magnificent silver filly and a set of three petrified dragon eggs.

Daenerys, her brother, and the ''khalasar'' traveled east to the only Dothraki city, Vaes Dothrak, in the heart of the [[Dothraki Sea]], where Daenerys was presented to the crones known as the ''Dosh Khaleen''. Viserys grew increasingly impatient, demanding that Drogo help him invade Westeros. Meanwhile, Daenerys, now fourteen, became pregnant with Drogo's child. At Vaes Dothrak, the crones prophesied that her child, to be named Rhaego after her late brother Rhaegar, would be "the stallion that mounts the world", a long-prophesized Dothraki conqueror. During a drunken rage, Viserys broke Dothraki law by drawing a blade in the holy city, inciting Khal Drogo to "crown" him by dumping a pot of molten gold over his head, killing him.

As Drogo's ''khalasar'' continued west, conquering foreign lands, Daenerys saved a [[Lhazar]]een priestess named [[Mirri Maz Duur]], who was labeled as a ''maegi'', from rape and possible murder at the hands of Drogo's men, and took her into service. When Drogo took a wound in battle that threatened his life, Daenerys commanded Mirri Maz Duur to heal him. But the ''maegi'' betrayed her, leaving Drogo a brain-dead husk and slaying Rhaego in the womb. Daenerys ended Drogo's life herself, and was abandoned by most of his ''khalasar.'' She ordered Mirri Maz Duur burned on Drogo's funeral pyre, and entered the flames herself with her dragon eggs. The resulting magic restored life to the eggs, from which three [[dragons]] hatched, the first to be born in the known world for centuries. Daenerys emerged unharmed, and was called "the Unburnt" and "Mother of Dragons". She named her dragons Viserion, Rhaegal and Drogon, after her two brothers and husband respectively. Three warriors of her late husband's remaining ''khalasar'' swore themselves to Daenerys as her bloodriders, and she became the first female Dothraki leader, a ''khaleesi'' in her own right.

===Qarth===
When the funeral pyre was lit, a red star appeared in the sky. Daenerys, her dragons, and what little remained of Drogo's ''khalasar'' wandered in its direction to a desolate area known as the red wastes, until they found an ancient, abandoned city. There they recovered from the deadly ravages of the desert while Daenerys sent out scouts in all directions. One scout returned with three emissaries from the great city of [[Qarth]]. Daenerys accompanied them to Qarth, hoping for aid in conquering Westeros from the merchant emissary Xaro Xhoan Daxos, but the merchants of Qarth were only interested in obtaining her dragons.

Daenerys turned to one of the other emissaries, a warlock called Pyat Pree. Against the judgment of her friends and counselors, she agreed to visit the warlock's leaders, the Undying Ones, in their hall, the House of the Undying. After viewing several mysterious portents and hearing vague prophecies, Daenerys realized that the warlocks were plotting against her, and destroyed the House of the Undying with the aid of Drogon. With nowhere else to turn, Daenerys considered the suggestions of the third emissary, the masked woman Quaithe of [[Asshai]], that she must go further east to conquer the west.

While unsuccessfully seeking passage out of Qarth, Daenerys noticed that two men she did not recognize were following her and Mormont. Daenerys became distracted and was off her guard when a Sorrowful Man assassin tried to poison her with a [[manticore]]. One of her mysterious followers interceded and knocked the manticore away just in time to thwart the murder. The two men introduced themselves as agents sent by Magister Illyrio. One of them, a huge eunuch and former pitfighter called [[Strong Belwas]], was to be her bodyguard. The one who had saved her life was Belwas's squire, an older Westerosi man called Arstan Whitebeard. Along with the two men, Illyrio had sent three merchant ships to transport Dany and her people to Pentos. Instead of returning to Pentos, however, Daenerys claimed the three ships and their cargo for her own, and continued to the east.

===Slaver's Bay===
Daenerys next traveled to [[Slaver's Bay]], a region whose cities thrived on the sale and labor of slaves. In [[Astapor]], she purchased an army of elite eunuch slave soldiers called [[Unsullied]] by pretending to sell Drogon. After taking control of the Unsullied, she reclaimed Drogon, commanding him to use his fires against the Astapori leaders, and used the Unsullied to conquer the city. After forming a council to rule Astapor, she set out for the city of Yunkai.

[[Yunkai]] had hired two sellsword companies, the Storm Crows and the [[Second Sons]], in addition to conscripting a force of some four thousand slave soldiers. Daenerys parleyed with the captains of the companies, hoping to convince them to switch sides. Her arguments convinced one of the Storm Crows' commanders to assassinate his colleagues and pledge the company for Daenerys. To the Second Sons, Daenerys offered a great store of wine as tribute, then attacked them in the night while they were drunk and sleeping. With the Storm Crows' betrayal and the Second Sons' drunkenness, Yunkai's slave army was unable to withstand Daenerys's Unsullied. The entire Yunkish army was slain, captured, or put to flight and Yunkai surrendered a few days later.

Near [[Meereen]], Daenerys was nearly killed by the Titan's Bastard, the former captain of the Second Sons. Arstan Whitebeard slew the Bastard, and finally revealed his true identity as [[Barristan Selmy]], a famous knight of her father's [[Kingsguard]] who had served the Usurper [[Robert Baratheon]] after the end of the Rebellion. He claimed to have seen the error of his ways and had sought her out as the true heir to the Seven Kingdoms. Selmy also revealed that Jorah Mormont, still Daenerys's trusted right arm, had been sending reports on her actions to the [[spymaster]] in King's Landing, hoping for a pardon from King Robert. Daenerys felt betrayed by each of them, though both fervently wished to atone for their actions. During her siege of [[Meereen]], she sent them on a covert suicide mission through the sewers, half hoping that they would die in the attempt. The mission succeeded and won the city with minimal blood. Barristan humbly submitted to his Queen's judgment and was forgiven. Jorah stubbornly continued to insist that he had done nothing wrong, and Daenerys was forced to banish him from her service - despite her desire to pardon him.

Having captured Meereen, Dany turned her eyes toward Westeros, but through talks with Barristan about her homeland and its history, she learned that there was much she did not know about ruling. Upon hearing that Astapor and Yunkai could not maintain the peace she had hoped to bring, she resolved to bring order to Slaver's Bay before leaving it behind. By this time, she is close on seventeen years.

House Lannister

{{Noble House
| House_name = House Lannister
| Coat_of_arms = A golden lion on a field of crimson
| Words = "Hear Me Roar!"
| Seat = [[Casterly Rock]]
| Current_Lord = [[Tywin Lannister]]

}}
'''House Lannister''' is a fictional family from [[George R. R. Martin]]'s ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' book series. House Lannister is the principal house of the [[Westerlands]]. Their principle seat is [[Casterly Rock]]. Their sigil is a golden lion on a field of crimson, and their words are "Hear Me Roar!" Their unofficial motto, just as well known, states, "A Lannister always pays his debts."

==History==
The Lannisters descend from Andal adventurers who married the daughters of the King of the Rock. The King himself descended from Lann the Clever, a legendary trickster from the Age of Heroes who tricked the Casterlys into giving him Casterly Rock. The Lannisters reigned as Kings of the Rock until the [[Targaryen conquest]]. The Lannisters surrendered and were allowed to remain the paramount lords of the westerlands. The House fell on hard times before the events of ''A Song of Ice and Fire'', but by the beginning of ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'' it had been restored to its former glory. The Lannisters are the richest family in the Seven Kingdoms, due in large part to the many gold mines under their control. House Lannister once possessed an ancestral Valyrian sword called ''Brightroar''; however, it has been lost.

==Current members==
===Tywin===
:{{main|Tywin Lannister}}
Tywin was Lord of Casterly Rock during the reigns of [[Aerys II]] and [[Robert Baratheon]]. A calculating, ruthless, and controlling man, Tywin rebuilt House Lannister into the powerhouse it had become by the beginning of ''[[A Game of Thrones]]''. He was intensely concerned with maintaining his family's prestige, but this brought him into conflict with his children, who did not follow the paths he set out for them. He was ultimately murdered by Tyrion.

===Cersei===
:{{main|Cersei Lannister}}
Cersei is the beautiful twin sister of Jaime Lannister and became Queen of the Seven Kingdoms after [[Robert's Rebellion]]. Prickly and spiteful, Cersei feuded endlessly with her husband [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] and maintained secret, incestuous relationship with Jaime. After she bore several of her brother's children, she focused her energies on protecting them, but also worked to realize her goal of proving to the world that she was as capable a ruler as her father.

===Jaime===
:{{main|Jaime Lannister}}
Jaime is Tywin's eldest son and was his heir until he joined the Kingsguard to maintain his incestuous relationship with Cersei. During the Sack of King's Landing, Jaime killed his charge Aerys II, earning him the name "Kingslayer". Handsome, flippant, and an extraordinary swordsman, Jaime is in truth a conflicted soul.

===Tyrion===
:{{main|Tyrion Lannister}}
Tyrion is Tywin's third child, a misshapen dwarf nicknamed "The Imp" and "The Halfman". Though he is shrewd, educated, and calculating, he receives little respect from Tywin because of his deformity, his sharp tongue, and the death of his mother during his birth. He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated.

===Kevan===
:{{main|Kevan Lannister}}
Kevan Lannister was [[Tywin Lannister]]'s younger brother. He served for years as Tywin's most trusted captain. He is known for his reliability and loyalty. Kevan recognized the superiority of his brother at an early age and was comfortable doing his duty to realize his brother's wishes, though this meant perpetually living in his shadow. It is said that Kevan never had a thought that Tywin hadn't had first.

===Lancel===
:{{main|Lancel Lannister}}
Lancel is the oldest son of Kevan. He served as a squire for Robert Baratheon and helped Cersei manufacture the hunting accident that killed him. During Jaime's absence, he had a short affair with Cersei, who thought he looked something like Jaime. He received a wound at the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] that nearly killed him. During his recovery, he became a zealot of the [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]] and plans to abandon his new lordship to join the reformed [[Faith Militant]].

===Daven===
The son of Ser Stafford, Daven is a capable soldier and a significant improvement over his father. He is leonine in appearance, with bushy blonde hair and a stocky build. He has a coarse but affable demeanor, laughing frequently and making obscene jokes.

{{spoiler}}

Daven swore a holy oath not to cut his hair until he avenged his father's death on Rickard Karstark. After Robb executed Rickard for treason, Daven still refused to cut his hair. He was given orders to lay siege to Riverrun and appointed Warden of the West. Daven was not respected by the lords of the Trident under his command and proved unable to make progress.

===Genna===
The sister of Lord Tywin, Genna Lannister is married to Emmon Frey, and has born four sons. After Lady Joanna's death, she appears to have taken a maternal interest in Tywin's children. Lady Genna is a stout woman, although once shapely and buxom, and is shrewd, ruthless and blunt; she commands her husband utterly.

{{spoiler}}

The war has not treated Lady Genna gently; of her four sons, two have been killed. Cleos Frey, her firstborn, who was killed as he was escorting Jaime and Brienne from Riverrun and Tion Frey, her third son, who was killed by the Karstarks at Riverrun while a captive.

Upon the death of Robb Stark, House Tully was dispossessed of Riverrun, which was awarded to Lady Genna, her Frey husband and her surviving children. They acquired the castle after the submission of Lord Edmure Tully, who was taken prisoner at the Red Wedding.

===Stafford===
Good-Brother (brother-in-law) and cousin to Lord Tywin, he is regarded as an incompetent commander. His sister was the late Lady Joanna, Tywin's wife and mother to Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion.

{{spoiler}}

After the defeat of Jaime Lannister, Stafford was charged to form a new Lannister army to attack Riverrun. While training this army at Oxcross, he was taken completely unaware by King Robb Stark's army and killed in the ambush by Lord Rickard Karstark.

==Past and historic members==
===Damon===
Lord of [[Casterly Rock]], Shield of [[Lannisport]], and Warden of the West in the time of [[King Daeron II]]. When young, took part in a Lannisport tourney as a mystery knight called the Gray Lion.

At the [[Ashford tourney]], he ignored Ser Duncan's pleas for aid in the trial of seven.

===Lann===

===Tybolt===
Son of Lord Damon, Tybolt was Lord of Casterly Rock, Shield of Lannisport, and Warden of the West in the time of [[House Targaryen#Aerys I|King Aerys I]].

He successfully defended his position from all challengers, including Ser Jon Penrose, whom he battered with his shield after losing his horse and sword.

===Tytos===
Tywin's father, Tytos was Lord of Casterly Rock, Shield of Lannisport, and Warden of the West. He was a tolerant and kindly man, but a terrible lord. Under his lordship, House Lannister lost much of its prestige and power. He allowed himself to be easily bullied by lesser lords, who laughed at him behind his back. Two of his own bannermen, the lords of Tarbeck and Reynes, openly rebelled against his authority. After the death of his wife, Tytos began sleeping with whores and took one as a mistress. He gave his mistress free reign over Casterly Rock and allowed her to wear his late wife's jewelery. This enraged the young Tywin, who rebuilt the house's reputation after Tytos's death.
