Editing Warlocks (section)

==History==
Though legend speaks of the mighty power of the warlocks, they have done little in the past century. Similarly to the [[Alchemists' Guild]] of the [[Seven Kingdoms]], the warlocks' power and prestige have waned over the years. Their mighty [[House of the Undying]] is long since a grey stone ruin, neither repaired nor expanded upon, often referred to as the Palace of Dust.{{ref|ACOK|27}}{{ref|ACOK|48}} Even so, the warlocks are feared and respected throughout [[Essos]]{{Ref|ACOK|27}} and few return from their ruin.{{ref|ACOK|48}}

The protagonist of ''[[A Caution for Young Girls]]'' allegedly served as the [[handmaid]] of a Qartheen warlock during part of her life.{{ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}}

In an effort to cure [[Samwell Tarly]] of his timidity, his father, Lord [[Randyll Tarly]], once brought to his castle at [[Horn Hill]] two warlocks from Qarth, with white skin and blue lips. The warlocks slaughtered a bull [[aurochs]], and made Sam bathe in the hot blood, but it did not make him brave as promised. Randyll had the warlocks scourged.{{ref|AGOT|26}}
