Featured article Aeron Greyjoy, frequently called the Damphair, is one of Lord Balon Greyjoy's younger brothers. In his youth, Aeron was an amiable man, fond of songs, ale, and women. During one of his drunken gamblings, he wagered that he would be able to douse a hearth-fire by urinating on it. Although he won the wager, he angered his older brother by naming the ship Golden Storm. The ship was eventually sunk during Greyjoy's Rebellion in the sea battle off Fair Isle. Aeron sat out the remainder of the rebellion as a prisoner of the Lannisters, during which time he held piss-contests with "lions, boars and chickens". Following the rebellion, Aeron was returned to the Iron Islands. At some point during the next decade, Aeron had a near-death experience when he went down in a storm. He underwent a spiritual reawakening when he washed up ashore, safely and unharmed, and has since dedicated himself to the worship of the Drowned God. He is now considered to be a dour, humorless man. As a priest for the Drowned God Aeron has gained respect among the ironborn. His acolytes, called the drowned men, do Aeron's bidding without question. He never cuts his hair or beard, and even has seaweed woven into it. He occasionally drinks seawater, finding it strengthens his belief in his god. Although loyal to his eldest brother, Balon, Aeron deeply fears his brother Euron, and often recalls a traumatic scene of a door with screeching hinges which he associates with Euron. When the War of the Five Kings breaks out and Balon crowns himself, Aeron accompanies Balon's youngest son Theon to raid the Stony Shore. He eventually returns to the Iron Islands, where he calls the first kingsmoot in thousands of years after Balon falls to his death during a fierce storm at Pyke.

Your wives will dance in gowns of fire, shrieking as they burn, lewd and naked underneath the flames. And you will see little children weeping, weeping till their eyes do melt and slide like jelly down their faces, till their pink flesh falls black and crackling from their bones. The Stranger comes, he comes, he comes, to scourge us for our sins. Prayers cannot stay his wroth, no more than tears can quench the flame of dragons. Only blood can do that. Your blood, my blood, their blood. There the demons dwell, up there. Fire and blood, blood and fire. This is their city. If you would make it yours, first you must destroy them. If you would cleanse yourselves of sin, first must you bathe in dragon's blood. For only blood can quench the fires of hell.” —Shepherd “Kill them! Kill them!” — Smallfolk of King's Landing He went to the window seat, picked up a harp, and ran his fingers lightly over its silvery strings. Sweet sadness filled the room as man and wife and babe faded like the morning mist, only the music lingering behind to speed her on her way. —One of Daenerys Targaryen's visions in the House of the Undying “King Jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air, and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.” —Ser Barristan Selmy   More quotes...
