[[File:House Baratheon.svg|150px|right]]
KING [[Robert Baratheon|ROBERT BARATHEON]], the First of His Name,
+
The youngest of the Great Houses, born during the [[Wars of Conquest]].  Its founder, [[Orys Baratheon]], was rumored to be [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Dragon's]] bastard brother.  Orys rose through the ranks to become one of Aegon's fiercest commanders.  When he defeated and slew [[Argilac Durrandon|Argilac the Arrogant]], the last [[Storm King]], Aegon rewarded him with Argilac's [[Storm's End|castle]], [[Stormlands|lands]], and [[Argella Durrandon|daughter]].  Orys took the girl to bride, and adopted the banner, honors, and words of her line.  The Baratheon sigil is a crowned stag, black, on a golden field.  Their words are ''Ours is the Fury.''

 +
The Starks trace their descent from [[Brandon the Builder]] and the ancient [[King in the North|Kings of Winter]].  For thousands of years they ruled from [[Winterfell]] as Kings in [[the North]], until [[Torrhen Stark]], the King Who Knelt, chose to swear fealty to [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Dragon]] rather than give battle.  Their blazon is a grey [[direwolf]] on an ice-white field.  The Stark words are ''Winter Is Coming''.

[[File:House Tully.svg|150px|right]]
 +
The Tullys never reigned as kings, though they held rich lands and the great castle at [[Riverrun]] for a thousand years.  During the [[War of Conquest|Wars of Conquest]], the [[riverlands]] belonged to [[Harren Hoare|Harren the Black]], [[King of the Isles and the Rivers|King of the Isles]].  Harren's grandfather, King [[Harwyn Hoare|Harwyn Hardhand]], had taken the [[Trident]] from [[Arrec Durrandon|Arrec]] the [[Storm King]], whose ancestors had conquered all the way to [[the Neck]] three hundred years earlier, [[Battle of Six Kings|slaying the last]] of the old [[River Kings]].  A vain and bloody tyrant, Harren the Black was little loved by those he ruled, and many of the river lords deserted him to join [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon's]] host.  First among them was [[Edmyn Tully]] of [[Riverrun]].  When Harren and his line perished in the burning of [[Harrenhal]], Aegon rewarded House Tully by raising Lord Edmyn to dominion over the lands of the [[Trident]] and requiring the over river lords to swear him fealty.  The Tully sigil is a leaping trout, silver, on a field of rippling blue and red.  The Tully words are ''Family, Duty, Honor.''

The Tyrells rose to power as stewards to the [[Kings of the Reach]], whose domain included the fertile plains of the southwest from the [[Dornish Marches|Dornish marches]] and [[Blackwater Rush]] to the shores of the [[Sunset Sea]].  Through the female line, they claim descent from [[Garth Gardener (Greenhand)|Garth Greenhand]], gardener king of the [[First Men]], who wore a crown of vines and flowers and made the land bloom.  When King [[Mern IX Gardener|Mern]], last of the old line, perished on the [[Field of Fire]], his steward [[Harlen Tyrell]] surrendered [[Highgarden]] to [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]], pledging fealty.  Aegon granted him the castle and dominion over [[the Reach]].  The Tyrell sigil is a golden rose on a grass-green field.  Their words are ''Growing Strong.''

==[[House Greyjoy]]==
 +
[[File:House Greyjoy.svg|150px|right]]
 +
The Greyjoys of [[Pyke]] claim descent from the [[Grey King]] of the [[Age of Heroes]].  Legend says the Grey King ruled not only the western isles but the sea itself, and took a mermaid to wife.
 +
 
 +
For thousands of years, raiders from the [[Iron Islands]]—called "[[ironmen]]" by those they plundered—were the terrors of the seas, sailing as far as the [[Port of Ibben]] and the [[Summer Isles]].  They prided themselves on their fierceness in battle and their sacred freedoms.  Each island had its own "[[salt king]]" and "[[rock king]]".  The [[High King of the Isles]] [[kingsmoot|was chosen]] from among their number, until King [[Urron Greyiron|Urron]] made the throne hereditary by murdering the other kings when they assembled for a choosing.  Urron's own line was extinguished a thousand years later when the [[Andals]] swept over the islands.  The Greyjoys, like other island lords, intermarried with the conquerors.
 +
 
 +
The Iron Kings extended their rule far beyond the isles themselves, carving kingdoms out of the mainland with fire and sword.  King [[Qhored Hoare|Qhored]] could truthfully boast that his writ ran "wherever men can smell salt water or hear the crash of waves".  In later centuries, Qhored's descendents lost the [[Arbor]], [[Oldtown]], [[Bear Island]], and much of the western shore.  Still, come the [[Wars of Conquest]], King [[Harren Hoare|Harren the Black]] ruled all the lands between the mountains, from [[the Neck]] to the [[Blackwater Rush]].  When Harren and his sons perished in the fall of [[Harrenhal]], [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]] granted the riverlands to [[House Tully]], and allowed the surviving lords of the Iron Islands to revive their ancient custom and chose who should have the primacy among them.  They chose Lord [[Vickon Greyjoy]] of Pyke.
 +
 
 +
The Greyjoy sigil is a golden kraken upon a black field.  Their words are ''We Do Not Sow.''

[[Nymeria]], the warrior queen of the [[Rhoyne]], brought her ten thousand ships to land in [[Dorne]], the southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms, and took Lord [[Mors Martell]] to husband.  With her help, he vanquished his rivals to rule all Dorne.  The Rhoynar influence remains strong.  Thus Dornish rulers style themselves "[[Prince of Dorne|Prince]]" rather than "King".  Under Dornish law, lands and titles pass to the eldest child, not the eldest male.  Dorne, alone of the Seven Kingdoms, was never conquered by [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Dragon]].  It was not permanently joined to the realm until two hundred years later, and then by marriage and treaty, not the sword.  Peaceable King [[Daeron II Targaryen|Daeron II]] succeeded where the warriors had failed by wedding the Dornish princess [[Myriah Martell|Myriah]] and giving his own sister in marriage to the reigning Prince of Dorne.  The Martell banner is a red sun pierced by a golden spear.  Their words are ''Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.''

==The Old Dynasty: [[House Targaryen]]==
 +
[[File:House Targaryen.svg|150px|right]]
 +
The Targaryens are the blood of the dragon, descended from the high lords of the ancient [[Valyrian Freehold|Freehold of Valyria]], their heritage proclaimed in a striking (some say inhuman) beauty, with lilac or indigo or [[purple eyes|violet eyes]] and hair of silver-gold or platinum white.
 +
 
 +
[[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Dragon's]] ancestors escaped the [[Doom of Valyria]] and the chaos and slaughter that followed to settle on [[Dragonstone]], a rocky island in the [[narrow sea]].  It was from there that Aegon and his sisters [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]] and [[Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys]] sailed to conquer the [[Seven Kingdoms]].  To preserve the blood royal and keep it pure, House Targaryen has often followed the [[Valyria]]n custom of wedding brother to sister.  Aegon himself took both his sisters to wife, and fathered sons on each.  The Targaryen banner is a three-headed dragon, red on black, the three heads representing Aegon and his sisters.  The Targaryen words are ''Fire and Blood.''

A Clash of Kings Appendix

The Appendix is a quick-glance site for information on characters. Within the appendix is a list of characters and their general associations.

House Baratheon

House Baratheon.svg

The youngest of the Great Houses, born during the Wars of Conquest. Its founder, Orys Baratheon, was rumored to be Aegon the Dragon's bastard brother. Orys rose through the ranks to become one of Aegon's fiercest commanders. When he defeated and slew Argilac the Arrogant, the last Storm King, Aegon rewarded him with Argilac's castle, lands, and daughter. Orys took the girl to bride, and adopted the banner, honors, and words of her line. The Baratheon sigil is a crowned stag, black, on a golden field. Their words are Ours is the Fury.

KING ROBERT BARATHEON, the First of His Name,

The principal houses sworn to Storm's End are Selmy, Wylde, Trant, Penrose, Errol, Estermont, Tarth, Swann, Dondarrion, and Caron.

The principal houses sworn to Dragonstone are Celtigar, Velaryon, Seaworth, Bar Emmon, and Sunglass.

House Stark

House Stark.svg

The Starks trace their descent from Brandon the Builder and the ancient Kings of Winter. For thousands of years they ruled from Winterfell as Kings in the North, until Torrhen Stark, the King Who Knelt, chose to swear fealty to Aegon the Dragon rather than give battle. Their blazon is a grey direwolf on an ice-white field. The Stark words are Winter Is Coming.

EDDARD STARK, Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North,

The principal houses sworn to Winterfell are Karstark, Umber, Flint, Mormont, Hornwood, Cerwyn, Reed, Manderly, Glover, Tallhart, and Bolton.

House Lannister

House Lannister.svg

Fair-haired, tall, and handsome, the Lannisters are the blood of Andal adventurers who carved out a mighty kingdom in the western hills and valleys. Through the female line they boast of descent from Lann the Clever, the legendary trickster of the Age of Heroes. The gold of Casterly Rock and the Golden Tooth has made them the wealthiest of the Great Houses. Their sigil is a golden lion upon a crimson field. The Lannister words are Hear Me Roar!

TYWIN LANNISTER, Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West, Shield of Lannisport,

Principal houses sworn to Casterly Rock are Payne, Swyft, Marbrand, Lydden, Banefort, Lefford, Crakehall, Serrett, Broom, Clegane, Prester, and Westerling.

House Arryn

House Arryn.svg

The Arryns are descended from the Kings of Mountain and Vale, one of the oldest and purest lines of Andal nobility. Their sigil is the moon-and-falcon, white, upon a sky-blue field. The Arryn words are As High As Honor.

{JON ARRYN}, Lord of the Eyrie, Defender of the Vale, Warden of the East, Hand of the King, recently deceased,

The principal houses sworn to the Eyrie are Royce, Baelish, Egen, Waynwood, Hunter, Redfort, Corbray, Belmore, Melcolm, and Hersy.

House Tully

House Tully.svg

The Tullys never reigned as kings, though they held rich lands and the great castle at Riverrun for a thousand years. During the Wars of Conquest, the riverlands belonged to Harren the Black, King of the Isles. Harren's grandfather, King Harwyn Hardhand, had taken the Trident from Arrec the Storm King, whose ancestors had conquered all the way to the Neck three hundred years earlier, slaying the last of the old River Kings. A vain and bloody tyrant, Harren the Black was little loved by those he ruled, and many of the river lords deserted him to join Aegon's host. First among them was Edmyn Tully of Riverrun. When Harren and his line perished in the burning of Harrenhal, Aegon rewarded House Tully by raising Lord Edmyn to dominion over the lands of the Trident and requiring the over river lords to swear him fealty. The Tully sigil is a leaping trout, silver, on a field of rippling blue and red. The Tully words are Family, Duty, Honor.

HOSTER TULLY, Lord of Riverrun,

Lesser houses sworn to Riverrun include Darry, Frey, Mallister, Bracken, Blackwood, Whent, Ryger, Piper, and Vance.

House Tyrell

House Tyrell.svg

The Tyrells rose to power as stewards to the Kings of the Reach, whose domain included the fertile plains of the southwest from the Dornish marches and Blackwater Rush to the shores of the Sunset Sea. Through the female line, they claim descent from Garth Greenhand, gardener king of the First Men, who wore a crown of vines and flowers and made the land bloom. When King Mern, last of the old line, perished on the Field of Fire, his steward Harlen Tyrell surrendered Highgarden to Aegon Targaryen, pledging fealty. Aegon granted him the castle and dominion over the Reach. The Tyrell sigil is a golden rose on a grass-green field. Their words are Growing Strong.

MACE TYRELL, Lord of Highgarden, Warden of the South, Defender of the Marches, High Marshal of the Reach,

Principal houses sworn to Highgarden are Vyrwel, Florent, Oakheart, Hightower, Crane, Tarly, Redwyne, Rowan, Fossoway, and Mullendore.

House Greyjoy

House Greyjoy.svg

The Greyjoys of Pyke claim descent from the Grey King of the Age of Heroes. Legend says the Grey King ruled not only the western isles but the sea itself, and took a mermaid to wife.

For thousands of years, raiders from the Iron Islands—called "ironmen" by those they plundered—were the terrors of the seas, sailing as far as the Port of Ibben and the Summer Isles. They prided themselves on their fierceness in battle and their sacred freedoms. Each island had its own "salt king" and "rock king". The High King of the Isles was chosen from among their number, until King Urron made the throne hereditary by murdering the other kings when they assembled for a choosing. Urron's own line was extinguished a thousand years later when the Andals swept over the islands. The Greyjoys, like other island lords, intermarried with the conquerors.

The Iron Kings extended their rule far beyond the isles themselves, carving kingdoms out of the mainland with fire and sword. King Qhored could truthfully boast that his writ ran "wherever men can smell salt water or hear the crash of waves". In later centuries, Qhored's descendents lost the Arbor, Oldtown, Bear Island, and much of the western shore. Still, come the Wars of Conquest, King Harren the Black ruled all the lands between the mountains, from the Neck to the Blackwater Rush. When Harren and his sons perished in the fall of Harrenhal, Aegon Targaryen granted the riverlands to House Tully, and allowed the surviving lords of the Iron Islands to revive their ancient custom and chose who should have the primacy among them. They chose Lord Vickon Greyjoy of Pyke.

The Greyjoy sigil is a golden kraken upon a black field. Their words are We Do Not Sow.

BALON GREYJOY, Lord of the Iron Islands, King of Salt and Rock, Son of the Sea Wind, Lord Reaper of Pyke,

Lesser houses sworn to Pyke include Harlaw, Stonehouse, Merlyn, Sunderly, Botley, Tawney, Wynch, and Goodbrother.

House Martell

House Martell.svg

Nymeria, the warrior queen of the Rhoyne, brought her ten thousand ships to land in Dorne, the southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms, and took Lord Mors Martell to husband. With her help, he vanquished his rivals to rule all Dorne. The Rhoynar influence remains strong. Thus Dornish rulers style themselves "Prince" rather than "King". Under Dornish law, lands and titles pass to the eldest child, not the eldest male. Dorne, alone of the Seven Kingdoms, was never conquered by Aegon the Dragon. It was not permanently joined to the realm until two hundred years later, and then by marriage and treaty, not the sword. Peaceable King Daeron II succeeded where the warriors had failed by wedding the Dornish princess Myriah and giving his own sister in marriage to the reigning Prince of Dorne. The Martell banner is a red sun pierced by a golden spear. Their words are Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.

DORAN NYMEROS MARTELL, Lord of Sunspear, Prince of Dorne,

  • his wife, MELLARIO, of the Free City of Norvos,
  • their children:
    • PRINCESS ARIANNE, their eldest daughter, heir to Sunspear,
    • PRINCE QUENTYN, their elder son,
    • PRINCE TRYSTANE, their younger son,
  • his siblings:
  • his household:
    • AREO HOTAH, a Norvoshi sellsword, captain of guards,
    • MAESTER CALEOTTE, counselor, healer, and tutor,
  • his knights and lords bannermen:

The principal houses sworn to Sunspear include Jordayne, Santagar, Allyrion, Toland, Yronwood, Wyl, Fowler, and Dayne.

The Old Dynasty: House Targaryen

House Targaryen.svg

The Targaryens are the blood of the dragon, descended from the high lords of the ancient Freehold of Valyria, their heritage proclaimed in a striking (some say inhuman) beauty, with lilac or indigo or violet eyes and hair of silver-gold or platinum white.

Aegon the Dragon's ancestors escaped the Doom of Valyria and the chaos and slaughter that followed to settle on Dragonstone, a rocky island in the narrow sea. It was from there that Aegon and his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys sailed to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. To preserve the blood royal and keep it pure, House Targaryen has often followed the Valyrian custom of wedding brother to sister. Aegon himself took both his sisters to wife, and fathered sons on each. The Targaryen banner is a three-headed dragon, red on black, the three heads representing Aegon and his sisters. The Targaryen words are Fire and Blood.
