===Lysene Spring=== [[File:HBO Lys season 2 pleasure house tears of lys.png|thumb|300px|Wine in a [[pillow house]] is poisoned with the [[tears of Lys]], from ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' Blu-ray]] Of ancient lineage, [[House Rogare]] rose to power during the [[Daughters' War]]. [[Lysandro Rogare]], patriarch of the family and head of the [[Rogare Bank]], acquired Prince [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]] after the death of his captor, [[Bambarro Bazanne]], in {{date|132}}. Lysandro wed the prince to his beautiful daughter, [[Larra Rogare]]. While in [[Sunspear]] during his return from the [[westerlands]], Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]] was informed by Lysandro's brother, [[Drazenko Rogare|Drazenko]], of Viserys's captivity. Alyn Oakenfist sailed ''[[Lady Baela]]'' to Lys and negotiated with Lysandro for the prince's release. Viserys, the younger brother of King [[Aegon III Targaryen]], returned to [[King's Landing]] with Larra and three of her brothers.{{ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}} Drazenko eventually married [[Aliandra Martell]], [[Princess of Dorne]], and was named [[Lord of the Stepstones]] by her.{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} The Rogares' connections with the [[Iron Throne]] and [[Dorne]] essentially made them princes of Lys, and the Rogare Bank grew more influential than the rival [[Iron Bank of Braavos]]. Lysandro named himself [[First Magister for Life]]. Trade flourished in the cities of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] during the so-called [[Lysene Spring]] and the "velvet tyranny" of Lysandro the Magnificent.{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} Despite living in King's Landing, Larra refused to speak the [[Common Tongue]]. She wore Lysene fashions and was surrounded by Lysene ladies, servants, and protectors, including [[Sandoq the Shadow]].{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} When Lysandro and Drazenko abruptly died one day apart, the [[Faceless Men]] were widely held responsible. The magisters and merchant princes of Lys began infighting, with [[Torreo Haen]], [[Silvario Pendaerys|Silvario]] and [[Pereno Pendaerys]], [[Moreo Dagareon]], and [[Matteno Orthys]] all falling. Lysandro's eldest son, [[Lysaro Rogare|Lysaro]], attempted to rule Lys, but he was less effective than his father. When rumors spread that the Rogare Bank was unsound, Lysaro fled with its wealth and a thousand [[Unsullied]]. The emptied bank was seized by Lys's magisters, as were the Rogare palace, manses, wharves, storehouses, the [[Perfumed Garden]], and most of their galleys. Several Rogares were sold into [[slavery]], and Lysaro was scourged to death in Lys after being caught in [[Volon Therys]].{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} Disliked by many [[Westeros]]i, the Rogares in the Seven Kingdoms also lost power. [[Lotho Rogare|Lotho]] lost his right hand after having been found guilty of stealing from the King's Landing branch of the Rogare Bank, but he went on to help establish the [[Bank of Oldtown]]. [[Roggerio Rogare|Roggerio]] established the cog ''[[Mermaid's Daughter]]'' as a seaborne pillow house. After receiving gold from the Iron Bank, [[Moredo Rogare]] hired mercenaries in [[Tyrosh]] for an attack on Lys. He eventually buried the remains of Lysaro in the family crypt.{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} Larra gave birth to Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)|Aemon]] and Princess [[Naerys Targaryen]] in Westeros, but eventually returned to her native Lys.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys II}}
